Chapter 52: Rommel's Nottingburgh

Due to Perona's need to recover, Leo deliberately slowed down the voyage and did not reach the city of Nottingburg in the Kingdom of Rommel until three days later.

The old sailboat was moored at the illegal dock, and Leo jumped off the deck.

"Why don't we go through the regular channel?"

Perona looked around, the coast was barren and it would take at least half an hour to get around Nottingburgh.

"Our ship is from the mafia, even in the West Sea...... The mafia is also an illegal organization, they won't let us in, and besides, it takes money to stop the boat. ”

"Oh......" Perona holds her favorite teddy bear in her left hand and a gothic sun umbrella in her right hand, the only possessions she has taken from Ghost Tango Island.

"Wait? You just talked about money? ”

It was only three seconds after the words fell that Perona realized what Leo had just said.

"yes, I don't have the money to pay for the stop."

Leo shrugged helplessly.

The three of them had been walking side by side towards the city of Nottingburgh, the interior of the island, but now Perona stopped and stared at Leo in disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

Leo probably guessed what she was trying to say.

"You...... Weren't you rich before? ”

"I didn't say I was rich, I just said I wasn't short of money."

"And you're now?"

"Ah...... Spent out. ”

Leo rubbed his fine black hair, looking a little annoyed. He really never lacked money, because when he didn't have money, as long as he could find someone else, preferably a nobleman, he could get a lot of "donations", and sometimes he would cooperate with bounty hunters, kill a few pirates casually and prepare to divide them into three or seven, and then kill the bounty hunters by the way, and take millions out to spend.

But the money was never saved for a long time in Leo.

The highest record was for Leo to squander the three million within two hours.

As for what was done?

Leo thought about it and found that he couldn't remember.

This is a kind of spending money without forcing the number.

“……”

After telling Perona about her "glorious" deeds of spending money super quickly, a terrifying black shadow flashed over the little girl's beautiful big eyes.

She couldn't figure out what Leo was thinking.

Could it be that the brain was also burned out by the current?

"What then?"

Perona asked anxiously: "Nottingburgh is the royal capital of [Rommel], one of the most prosperous cities, the security is extremely strict, you need to pay a fee to enter the city, and you have to confiscate weapons, and your two swords and guns must be kept at the city gate for safekeeping. ”

"Then don't go through the city gates."

“…… What about eating? ”

"Oh, what's the hurry, I'll have money when I go in."

Leo no longer answered Perona, and walked forward on his own, feeling a little immersed in his own world.

Dick nodded sadly to Perona.

"Don't worry, sir, he calls himself a thief after all......"

Perona: "......"

"You don't have much time with him...... You'll get to know it slowly. ”

That being said, Dick was only with Leo for half a day more than Perona.

After a half-hour stroll, the trio walked to the corner of Nottingburgh's sparsely populated city walls.

Leo only wears two summer clothes, and the appearance of [Akira] and [Twilight] is so obvious, so if he wants to move freely on the street, he must hide his weapons.

Dig a pit, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five.

"That's it!"

Leo clapped his hands and thought it was perfect.

He hid his weapon under an obvious tree, which he could easily find when he returned.

Perona found that she was becoming more and more unable to understand Leo.

He's a swordsman, but he doesn't care about his sword at all?

Leo understood Perona's eyes and said comfortingly, "Oh, don't worry, I don't really need a weapon that much." ”

Although the [Six Styles] are not very profound, they are also [Six Styles].

Even if it's a simple physical skill, no one in this city can beat him.

The three men climbed over the wall and entered the city of Nottingburgh.

Pointing to a higher wall in the center of the city, Perona explained: "This is the civilian area of Nottingburgh, which has a large area, and behind that wall is the high city, where the nobles lived, and the common people were generally not allowed to enter and leave, and the royal palace was also built in the center of the high city. ”

"Is this hierarchical system again......

The three of them took to the street and blended into the crowd. The system of Nottingburgh City is basically similar to that of the Kingdom of Goa, and Leo guesses that this is probably the case with most of the prosperous aristocratic cities in the world.

Leo separated from the two and specially selected the crowd to keep up.

Perona and Dick stared at Leo's figure with empty eyes. Sure enough, two minutes later, the boy came back triumphantly, patted Perona's little head and said, "Okay, now we have money." ”

While talking, he also throws colorful jelly beans into his mouth.

Of course, Li Ou will not miss this opportunity to show his talents, and now he uses the [Stealing Fruit] to steal the energy attribute, as long as he grasps the amount of energy, he can effectively increase or weaken the weakness of the human body's strength being extracted, so that it will not cause a large-scale riot.

I took out the banknotes and counted them, and there were about 40,000 Baileys in total.

Leo generally picks rich characters to steal.

Looking around, Leo spun around, pulled Perona into a doll shop, and bought the largest doll for Perona.

The little girl, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, looks quite happy with a toy that is at least 1.6 meters tall.

"Let's eat first!"

Leo led the two of them into a lavishly decorated restaurant.

Perona and Dick looked at each other, finally understanding why Leo couldn't save money.

……

Forty minutes later, the three of them had a big meal, and when they checked out, they found that a meal cost 60,000 Bailey, and Leo quietly stole Bailey from the cashier's counter and paid them again.

This proves once again ...... There are only people around, and this kid really hasn't lacked money.

Placing the two in a hotel, Leo chose to go out alone to gather intelligence.

Huddled in the crowd, the teenager looked at the ornate buildings and squinted at a poster of a star on one of the walls, indicating that Victoria Sindoli's latest opera would be performed at the Nottingburgh City Opera House.

If nothing else, the Corsican family will do it at that time.

It must be hidden somewhere in the city's civilian quarters.

Leo tried to find the mafia, but now he had no clue, so he had to pinch his chin and stop in the crowd, ignoring the men and women who had fallen to the ground because they had crashed into him, thinking...... If you were a high-ranking Corsican family, how would you arrange this robbery.

First of all...... Because this is the royal capital, the gap in strength must not be too far behind, so there should be a lot of people from the Corsican family, otherwise it is impossible to escape from Nottingburgh with Sindoli.

Secondly...... Crowded?

If there are too many people, it will be difficult to hide all of them in the city, even in civilian areas...... The gates were indeed very strictly guarded.

So, Wanderers Street?

Outside of Nottingburgh, there are several streets with dilapidated buildings, also known as slums.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo felt ...... I'm afraid that only the street can accommodate so many unidentified people, so in that case, let's go and check it out.

After figuring it out, Leo turned and walked out of the city.
