"This is the East City Triumph Avenue, which is one of the more prosperous areas of Derui City. ”

After passing through the city gates in an unfamiliar mood, the ox cart entering the city slows down under the control of Gaut and slowly moves along the wide brick and stone road. It was noon, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the ox cart didn't have to go so slowly.

He didn't say anything, but the pikeman sitting in the back compartment knew that his old friend was spoiling the girl.

"It's beautiful. Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the shops on the street, Gray Lu noticed for the first time that there were so many colors in the world outside Yunman.

"When you're done with business, let Rioat accompany you around Dreish. ”

"Wouldn't it be too ......?"

"It's okay, just disguise yourself. ”

"Uh, huh, that's ......."

Just as Gott was driving the ox cart to a side road, Gray Lu, who was sitting next to him, stood up excitedly and stared at the shelves of the shop around the corner, showing a strong desire to obtain.

The bullock cart stopped.

"The inflatable leather ball, which is made of pig or cow bladder and sewn with the outer layer of cowhide, is a toy for human children. Of course, there are many adults who like it too. ”

Listening to Gaote's explanation, the tooth wolf girl who didn't notice her gaffe jumped out of the car and went straight to the store. Xi and Lan both like this kind of leather ball, and there used to be one at home - although it was later punctured.

Originally, it was not difficult to buy another one, but since the guy ran away in a bad mood, no clansmen who went to the city to buy goods would deliberately bring such an inconsequential toy back to the territory.

"Boss, how much does this ball cost?"

When Gray Lu stood in front of the shelf and asked for the price, the boss, who was sitting at the counter eating lunch, was taken aback. Putting down the cutlery, he trotted out from the other side of the counter and bowed slightly to the young customer with a soft look in his eyes.

The clerk on duty ran to the outside of the store and asked the customer to wait outside the store, which was very rude.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. This young lady, are you going to buy it for your younger siblings?"

"Yes. ”

"You have a good eye, our balls are selling well in Dongcheng District. The inner liner of these balls is the same, but the lower row of the shelves is a raw cowhide shell, 50 copper coins a piece, and the upper row is a cooked cowhide, 90 copper coins a piece. ”

Gray Lu's attention was all on the ball, but the grocery store owner looked at her and the bullock cart behind her as he introduced the goods.

"Then I want two raw cowhides. ”

"Miss, can you allow me to make a suggestion before you decide to buy it?"

"You...... Please speak. Originally, Gray Dew wanted to answer "you say" directly, but remembering her mother's request before leaving Yunman, she changed her words to a polite word - her mother said that there are still many hostile ordinary people in human beings, and if you have a kind attitude, they will most likely return the same attitude.

"It's summer soon, and the rainfall is increasing, and if the raw cowhide gets wet, it can easily rot. If your home is in the country, I recommend buying a cooked cowhide. ”

Looking at the smiling grocery store owner, he knew how wet and gray Yunman would be in the summer, and chose to take his suggestion. After all, two balls that can only be played for a few days are no match for one ball that can be played for months.

However, before she could take the silver coin from her bag, a large hand pressed lightly on the top of her head.

"Watts, after all these years, the way you do business hasn't changed much. ”

"Eh, Gao Extrada-sir, how are you ......free?"

"I was doing something here, and I happened to be passing by. ”

"Huh," the grocery store owner sighed with some emotion as he looked at Gott, who was about his age but already gray-haired, and then asked with a smile on his face, "Then this young lady is—"

"My niece, Luxue. ”

"It turned out to be your niece—forgive my clumsiness, Miss Luxue, please accept this ball, which is a little apology from me. ”

"Huh, Uncle Gott?"

Although I don't understand why Gott pretends to be his elder, Gray Lu is still very cooperative and becomes an actor.

"Even though we're old friends, we can't take your stuff for nothing—cheaper, sell her two for a silver coin of cooked cowhide. ”

"Okay, deal. ”

"Oh, boss, a silver coin. ”

.........

When the ox cart disappeared at the end of the street with Gault and his party in his hand, the grocery store owner, who was holding a silver coin in his hand, slowly knelt down on one knee and made a knightly salute in that direction.

A lot of people have forgotten, but he still remembers.

.........

"So, it was bought for Xiao Xi and Xiao Lan, right?"

After turning left and right for a few blocks, the alleys on both sides of the road gradually increased, and the roads driven by ox carts began to become less clean. With two bouncy balls in her arms, Grey Lu set her eyes on Gott's face once again in the hood.

"Yes. So, Mr. Gott, why did you lie just now?"

"Lying? That's just a way to avoid trouble. Remember, as long as you are in the human world, don't let your guard down completely. ”

"Also, don't use your real name. ”

Rivat grimaced like a clown and added that this time, neither Gott nor Grey Lu had slapped him back. Because both the name and the named have recognized this fact.

Not all places in Dre are the same as the Avenue of Prosperity.

"Luxue, I'm going to talk to Rioat about business, please watch the bullock cart outside here. ”

"I see. ”

As the sun shifted westward in the afternoon, casting some shadows on the city, Gott drove them in an ox-cart to a building that didn't look big, but there were quite a few people coming in and out. Intuition told Grey Dew that the underground part of the building should have been built by dwarven craftsmen.

The bullock cart stopped at the guardrail of the porch that would not block the intersection, and Gault and Rioat, with a large bag of belongings, quickly disappeared into the flow of people coming and going. So, the idle wolf girl simply sat on the side of the bustling street, looked at the large number of humans coming and going, and thought about why they were always busy.

"Perhaps, just because there are too many of them?"

Goo –

Such a question is not easy for her, a hunter in the mountains and forests, to figure out. Moreover, the sudden hunger pangs also made her have no heart to think about it anymore.

Those guys are here again, run-

Eh, you haven't paid yet-

Just as Grey Dew was about to go to the ox cart to get some jerky to eat, a noise accompanied by shouting came from the eastern end of the street, about a hundred and twenty-three meters away.

Is it a territorial struggle between humans?

Although the hat covered her ears, her hearing was reduced, but if she had the heart to listen within fifty meters, Gray Dew could still hear what she wanted to hear.

"Hurry up, hurry up, those guys are here again!"

While the hunters were thinking about it, a number of human traders who had just set up stalls on both sides of the street packed up their goods and ran away in a panic——— they were like a herd of deer that would only flee when they were hunted by wolves, although they were panicked, they were not at a loss.

Weakling......

"Little girl, why are you still stunned here?

An elderly human, who was also driving an ox cart, shouted at her as he passed by Gray Dew, and then fled without looking back. The cargo box of his oxcart was full of apricots and plums of full color.

"Street Pawn...... What's that?"

Obviously, no one would answer Grey Lu's question, but soon, she knew what it was.

Bang –

The railing of the ox cart box was smashed with a hard object.

"Hillbilly, did you know you can't park here!"

When several humans with round shields and half-length iron-headed sticks appeared in front of Gray Lu, the foot traders and cart dealers on the streets had either disappeared or were taken into prison cars. And it was these so-called "street men" who captured them.

"No, I don't know. ”

Looking at the human street soldier in the lead, Gray Lu spread his hands to show that he didn't know. Fortunately, Gott had applied the [Barrier] magic on her claws before, otherwise these guys would have been either scared away or directly hit when they saw her claws.

"Illegal parking of ox carts will result in a fine of 3 silver coins. Do you pay cash or deduct the goods?"

Suddenly asked to pay the money, still thinking about why these guys dispersed the gray dew of the vendors, he was a little confused. They didn't need to trade, so she only had the little currency the tower gave her yesterday——— which was not enough to pay the fine.

Of course, she didn't plan to pay it either.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any money, and the goods in this car don't belong to me, so if you want to be fined, you'd better wait for the owner to come out. With that, Gray Dew took out a piece of jerky from her bag and took a big bite.

As more street guards poured onto the street, the human man with an iron head in front of Gray Lu gave her an order, "Then stand up, we will check you." ”

"Oh. ”

They will be emboldened because of the large number of people.

"Look at your appearance is not a local, and your clothes smell like dead people's wear......"

"We suspect you, kill people and sell more. ”

"Well, it's not like you can't prove your innocence. ”

Even if you don't use the seventh sense of the beast spirit to observe, just from the expression and eyes, Gray Dew can tell that these humans with evil smiles on their faces want to intimidate her to give benefits.

Maybe they think she's lying when she says that the owner of the cart isn't there?

Sending the bite of the jerky three times and dividing five by two into the stomach, Gray Dew spread his paws and put the current learning taught by Gault into practice, "My lord, you can't talk nonsense - how can I, a weak woman with no power to restrain chickens, do that kind of thing?"

"Then cooperate with the inspection!"

Seeing that Grey Lu was showing weakness, the street man who shouted the most fiercely stepped forward, grabbed her by the left hand, and tried to drag her from the ox cart to the mouth of the alley on the other side of the street. However, to tell the truth, Gray Dew just sat still and let him pull, and he couldn't pull it.

But she had no choice but to pretend to be weak for a while, in order to wait for Gaute to come out and solve the problem in a civilized way.

"Okay, my lord, how am I going to cooperate?"

Looking at more of the street guards who gathered, Gray Lu suddenly had the illusion of being watched by sheep.

"You're still wrapping your robes so tightly in such a hot day, I suspect you've hidden smuggling ...... under your clothes"

"It's not hot in the shade. ”

Grey Lu replied honestly, interrupting the second half of the streetman's sentence.

"Shut up, did you get an answer! take off your robes, we're going to check!"

"Yes, get out of the way!"

Glancing at the street guards who echoed him, he personally saw the gray dew of this scene, and was convinced of what the elders of the clan said: human beings are creatures full of warmth and thoughts, and they can come into heat all year round.

At such a close distance, the Tooth Wolf Clan girls could almost smell the male-specific stench they emitted.

"All right, sir. ”

However, the Tooth Wolf Clan is not like humans, and has a strong sense of dependence on the fabric that wraps their bodies.

Under the watchful eyes of the street guards, the wolf girl unbuttoned her robe, revealing her upper body wrapped in deerskin——— to be honest, it would be much more comfortable not to be bound by the tight robe.

"Very good, good cooperation. ”

With that, the street man who had been holding Gray Lu's left paw raised his iron stick and poked her thigh in the side.

Gray Dew was a little annoyed at this time——— after all, even Goth couldn't hide her tail from perceiving the outside world with the beast spirit with the [Barrier] magic.

"Still not good?"

Grey Lou leaned against the wall and tried to refuse, but the roadman shook his head.

"Unbutton the lower row, we're going to make sure you're not hiding. ”

When she was in the forest, Grey Dew had the good fortune to encounter a pack of wild dogs, and their individual combat effectiveness was not very strong, but they appeared in groups, and they were still a very annoying secondary predator. Normally, she doesn't clash with them, but when necessary......

"Well, I hope you've stopped here. ”

"Gentlemen, how about I pay the fine for this young lady?"

Just as Grey Lu was about to unbutton the lower half of her robe and have a showdown with the street guards, she saw a strange girl with long red hair, wearing a black coat and white clothes, come up and pat the leader on the shoulder.

"Miss maid, is she some poor country relative of yours?"

"No, it's just her ......"

"Hey, hillbilly, you still dare to say that you didn't smuggle?!"

Just as the girl she didn't know was arguing for Gray Lu, a street boy suddenly walked up to her and reached for the back of her thigh.

"Whew-"

"Look, the inferior beast furs that weren't put in the crate and inspected by the guards at the city gates!"

The tail was suddenly grabbed, and Gray Lu was stunned for a moment, and her whole face turned red. But then the guy's words completely drove away the shyness in her heart.

"You...... What do you say - inferior quality?!"

"Sir, you're not a gentleman—"

"Yes, I said—"

The street man didn't have a chance to repeat it, for Gray Lu's right claw had clenched into a fist and smashed into the bridge of his nose. Humans are fragile creatures, so she stayed strong, although he still knocked away from many of his companions and flew out two or three meters.

"This ...... She's a subhuman!"

The little street leader who was holding Grey Lu's left claw screamed in horror to get away, but he couldn't even take two steps out of the way ———because Grey Lu grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

"Since you've seen it, then I'm welcome. ”

The tail that had just been pinched swayed slightly, and it was tightly bound to the soul, and the seventh sense of the beast spirit was triggered, and the street soldiers who rushed towards her with weapons after reacting suddenly became like old people.

She promised Gott not to cause trouble, so no one would die.

"The Tooth Wolf Clan never shies away from a challenge!"

When a shield swung at Grey Dew, she didn't dodge and slapped it directly with her right paw. So, amid the screams of the street pawn's wrist bones shattering, the toothed wolf hunter, who had untied his robes, turned sideways and shouted into the building.

"Uncle, I'm going to beat someone!"

The frantic cries of the Grey Dew Beast had apparently startled many humans, except for the guy she had crushed his wrist with - he was already in tears and snot from the pain.
