Chapter 97 The Little Thieves in Grey City

Back then, from starting from scratch to taking charge of the country, there were so many difficulties and obstacles, and countless storms and waves learned Leon's pair of wise eyes. He had seen too many smiles hidden in his sword. He never feared to use the worst side to guess people's hearts.

So despite Viscount Meller being very enthusiastic and polite on the surface, Leon could still see the inexplicable thing hidden behind his smile. The intuition from the instinct made Leon alert from the bottom of his heart.

Akran's mental detection provides evidence from another perspective.

The next morning, when it was still dawn, Leon set out on his way to Grey City alone.

Before leaving, he made some necessary disguise and changed his appearance to a wandering single mercenary.

The first stop to Grey City was the Castle of Colinworth. Leon followed a small caravan and smoothly mingled into the castle. He gave up on finding a guide, because it was not only troublesome but also easily attracted the attention of others.

In a bar in Colinworth Castle, he bought a detailed map of the southwest province from a mercenary broker and hurried away.

It was not until after leaving the Colinworth collar that the string tense in Leon's heart finally relaxed.

Glee was not very far from the Castle of Colinworth, and he galloped all the way. In the afternoon, Leon saw the towering city shrouded in thin mist.

In the Kingdom of Bemon, the capital of Ugru represents the central core of the kingdom, the city of Tormond is the core of the southwestern province, and the city of Grey is the center of power in the local area. This relationship is like a tree trunk to branches and then to branches and leaves.

Therefore, if Leon wants to find a home for the Mad Hammer Tribe within the jurisdiction of Grey City, he first needs to pass the recognition of Grey City, and then go up to Tormond City and Ugru.

Obtaining territory is definitely not an easy task. Even if you have military achievements and titles, it is very common to have a year or two to get a certificate of territory with the service style of the elders of the royal capital senate.

It is precisely based on his understanding of this that Leon never thought that he could get a piece of territory back by just one trip, which was not a realistic thing at all.

But he first had to let the kingdom formally recognize the Crazy Hammer Tribe, so as to obtain a homeless hunting area as a place to live, and then slowly plan for a formal territory.

In this way, the Mad Hammer Tribe will not be easily pinned.

Like many cities on the mainland, Grey City is built next to a river. The tributary of this Nucang River runs through most of the southwest provinces and extends to the territory of the Shengyao Province.

The convenient water transport passage has created the glory of Grey City, and the prosperous commercial trade has become the economic pillar of this centuries-old old city. The bustling docks on the banks of the river and the masts on the river all illustrate this.

There is no moat in Grey City, and the open doors warmly welcome merchants, mercenaries and even wanderers from all over the world. People do not even need to spend even a copper coin to enter the city.

The guards at the gate of the city told Leon that there were no horses in Grey, except for nobles, but he could first place the horses in a special stable outside the city, which was not expensive.

"The streets are too crowded at this time. You will be unable to move with your horse and will also cause dissatisfaction from others." The guards kindly reminded Leon.

After following the customs, Leon had no choice but to foster his wildebeest and walk into Grey City with his bags.

The guards did not lie to him. The prosperity of this city of Grey is definitely not below the city of Faril. The worst thing is that its city size is much different from that of Faril, and the main street is not spacious.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and signs of all sizes are almost hung in the center of the street. Vendors and pedestrians are entering and leaving to purchase goods, and the more they go, the more crowded they are.

As winter passes and spring comes, the vitality of this Bemonian commercial city is definitely not under any city on the mainland.

Crowding among the bustling crowds, Leon had an unreal feeling. If he had not come here in person, it would be hard to imagine that such an existence existed on the vast Hulun Grassland.

Suddenly, Leon noticed something strange.

Among the crowd, a slender little hand quietly penetrated into the animal skin pocket around his waist, moving extremely quickly.

But Leon felt so keen. Although the other party's technique was extremely skillful, he still discovered it in advance.

However, Leon did not move, but let the other party's hand penetrate into his pocket.

"Ah!~"

Accompanied by an uncontrollable cry of pain, the little hand shrank back faster, and there was a bloody wound on the back of the hand.

The unlucky thief chose the wrong target. The animal skin pocket tied around Leon was bulging around his waist. It was not a gold and silver coins, but a second-level magical beast silver thread golden rat.

The purely unfamiliar hand reached in. The golden rat would not be polite. It was necessary to give the invader a fierce attack.

Leon turned around and grabbed the big hand like lightning, picking up the thief who could not lose the rice.

Her thin figure was wrapped in a shabby robe, her round head was as messy as a chicken coop, and her black and gray cheeks looked thin due to malnutrition. Only a pair of black eyes showed a bit clever and cuteness.

But at this moment, her eyes were full of panic of failure, and she struggled in vain in Leon's hands: "Let me go, let go of me quickly, help me!"

She was a cat-born thief who was only in her teens. Her furry ears and violently contracted pupils showed her racial characteristics. She also tried to fight back with her sharp nails.

It’s a pity that his little claws scratched Leon’s thick arm, and he couldn’t even rub his skin.

Her call for help was not responded to by anyone. Although there were pedestrians next to her, they all laughed and laughed when they saw it, or shook their heads away with a hint of pity.

Everyone understands what is going on, and thieves are never popular in any city.

The struggle to call for help was ineffective, and the kitten woman's face suddenly collapsed completely. Big tears flowed from her eyes, and she begged pitifully: "Uncle, I know I'm wrong. Please let me go, I will never dare to do it again!"

Uncle? Am I so old? Leon couldn't help but touch his nose, shook his head and put the other person down.

This is not to say that the other party's superb acting skills touched him, but there is no need to care about him with a child.

Seeing her, Leon couldn't help but think of the rat boy Beek in the city of Tormond. These servants had a very low social status in the city of Bemon.

With his hand in his arms, Leon took out a few silver coins from his pocket lined with his leather armor and put them in his little hand: "Go and apply some medicine to bandage the wound, don't do such things again in the future."

If it were someone with a bad temper, this little guy would be beaten to death after being caught.

The kitten woman was stunned when she pinched the silver coin with Leon's body temperature in her hand.

When she raised her head again, she only saw Leon's burly back disappearing into the crowd.

Leon did not go far, and what made him feel very interesting was that when he stuffed the kitten female silver coins, a trace of divine power of faith was injected into his soul core. Although not much, it was enough to match more than ten days of prayer.

There is no doubt that this was the Beast God who commended his behavior.

This is the interesting thing. Fighting with enemies can bring rewards to divine power, and being compassionate to the weak can get rewards. Although the amount obtained is different, it means that as long as the daily code of conduct conforms to the belief spirit of the beast god, it will definitely get rewards.

However, Leon also knew in his heart that if he deliberately showed mercy, he would probably not get any reward, and the gods would definitely not be easy to fool.

So he quickly threw some of his thoughts aside and turned around and walked into a tavern on the side of the street.

From Colinworth Castle to Grey, Leon hadn't eaten anything along the way, and now his stomach was thunderously protesting.

No matter how important things are, you have to fill your stomach first. Besides, when Lei Ang arrived at the beginning, he still has no real idea of ​​how to achieve his goals.

Ordered a glass of ale, a plate of barbecue and baking bread, and while eating dinner, Leon thought about how he should go to the upper floors of Grey City, how much it would cost.

Of course, he was not unprepared for doing business this time and would not be under pressure in terms of money.

But you have to spend money and do things in a practical way, and you have to avoid attracting others' covetousness.

"Go out, go out! This is not the place you should come!"

While Leon was thinking hard, a shout suddenly came from the door of the tavern.

Leon couldn't help but turn his head and find that the kitten woman was actually huddled at the door and kept looking inside. A tavern's friend was about to drive her away.

She noticed Leon and immediately raised her arms and laughed excitedly: "Uncle..."

Now all the eyes in the tavern were all focused on Leon, and even the guy who was about to move stopped moving.

Leon couldn't help but sigh, waved at the guy and said, "Let her come in!"

The kitten girl grimaced from the tavern, rushed to the front of Leon's table in three or two steps, and immediately looked pitiful.

"What are you doing with me?" Leon asked.

"I'm hungry..." The kitten woman replied in a low voice, raising her eyes and staring at the food on the dining table.

Didn’t you give you money? Leon sighed again.

If it weren't for watching her gain a lot of divine power of faith, Leon wouldn't be in the mood to pay attention to her.

"Man, give me another meal!"
