"So ......"

Wood surveyed his surroundings and muttered to himself, "What's next?" ”

He was standing on the side of a bluestone paved road, and he didn't seem to be noticed by the people around him about Wood's sudden appearance, but he ...... Whether or not some of these people were human was hard for Wood to determine.

As for the reason for this, it is because in addition to humans, there are many strange upright walking creatures interspersed with the streets.

For example, people with animal ears and some kind of beastly characteristics on their bodies; Or like lizards, snakes, and other variants, they tend to be monsters in appearance, except for being able to speak and walk upright.

Similar to this existence, without disobedience, walked in the crowd, bought things, sold things, and took them to play, etc., forming an extremely fantasy picture.

The surrounding architecture is not modern, but similar to the mentally handicapped world in which Akua and her family live, and the medieval-style buildings look like they are carved out of a mold.

The people were dressed in the same way, some in armor and with long swords; There are those who are dressed in robes and carry magic wands; There are also light clothes, daggers at the waist, and so on......

In short, on the surface, this is an adventurer's world with a view similar to that of "blessings for a better world", almost the same as the "other world" described in many fantasies.

For these ......

Wood didn't feel any surprises, because the world was no stranger to him. So before crossing over, he bought this dark purple thief light suit from the COS store to make himself look less conspicuous.

In terms of effect, except for the different materials of the clothes, they are not much different from the clothes worn by most thieves.

- A different world from scratch.

This is the perception of the world in Wood's memory, of course, it is the cognition under the cold screen, but in front of him is a real world, a ...... A world that may even become an important part of his life's memories.

"Hey, how long are you going to stand here?"

A childish voice came from behind Wood, a tone of displeasure.

"Business is not very good, you have been standing here and not buying, let alone customers buying our things."

Wood turned and saw a little boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in sackcloth, with a somewhat dull yellow face and a thin build, who must have been a little malnourished.

Next to the little boy was a little girl who looked about his age, with the same face as a little boy, wearing a crumpled dark yellow dress, and was timidly hiding behind the little boy and looking at Wood.

In front of them was a rag with some unknown vegetables on it; Some look like eggplants, others look like tomatoes, and they look like they've been picked before they're fully ripe, and there aren't many of them, less than ten of each.

"Look at what, if you don't buy something, get out of the way quickly, don't think that I can't beat you when I'm older, even if it's a rich young master, I'll beat you like I'm selling something!!"

When the little boy saw Wood's eyes looking up and down, a touch of annoyance suddenly appeared on his face, and he glared at Wood without fear. It should be said that even if you are afraid, you can't be afraid, from the perspective of a normal person...... Wood was about fourteen years old.

The figure of the purple thief was also extremely thin, and he did not look much stronger than that of a malnourished little boy, and this figure, combined with the pale face as paper, looked like a terminally ill child.

The temper is quite big.

Wood pursed his lips, and didn't bother to bother with this little ghost, but took out a pure gold ring directly from his arms, tossed it with his hand and smiled: "Answer me a few questions, and I'll buy everything you have here." ”

After crossing so many times, Wood has become more and more familiar with the crossing, and the preparation before the crossing has changed from the initial paper money to the current gold. After all, paper money is not used in many worlds, but gold is rarely used in the world.

It was the same here, when the little boy saw the gold ring that Wood had thrown up, his eyes widened, and there was undisguised greed in them.

"No problem!"

As if afraid that Wood would regret it, the little boy hurriedly stood up and said with a flattering face: "Don't dare to say anything else, I still know a lot about all kinds of things in the royal capital." ”

The royal capital?

Wood frowned: "Where is the royal capital?" ”

The little boy gave Wood a strange look: "Do you need to talk about this?" Lugnica, of course. ”

"Hey~~"

Wood couldn't help but sigh, although he had vaguely guessed from the perspective of the system's urine sex all along, but after confirming it, he still couldn't help but scold the system in his heart.

Luganica.

It is a blessed country that was protected by an alliance with the dragon Polkenny in the past, and thus built a prosperous country, so it is also called the 'Dragon Kingdom'!

Because of this, Lugnica's wars, plagues, and even famines, all crises can be avoided under the protection of the dragon, and the word 'dragon' has never disappeared in the long history of the kingdom.

However, relying too much on the Covenant and valuing the narrative of the dragon's history has made the country too fragile to survive on its own, and once faced with a situation that shakes the country, it will do nothing but turn to the dragon or the prophecy board, the dragon calendar stone, to lend its strength.

And the reason Wood knows so much about this place is because this is where it all began, in an easy-to-understand phrase...... This is where the plot begins, and it is also the beginning of the male protagonist's first step in life and gradually becoming awesome......

Well, the above is normal, and a certain bitter force in this world is the only male protagonist that Wood doesn't envy after watching anime for so many years.

Although the experience of torture was extremely tragic, in Wood's view, this was the most normal development.

Crossing this kind of thing itself is several times more dangerous, and those who can be known are those who have successfully pretended......

Shaking his head, Wood didn't think about the bitterness, he just came to this world to avoid the limelight, and he didn't want to be swept into the whirlpool that was troublesome just thinking about it.

After asking the little boy some questions, Wood probably determined the current timeline, and the king election in his memory was indeed in progress, but the fifth candidate had not yet appeared, so it can be seen that the timeline he was in should not have reached the beginning of the plot.

Of course, it is also possible that a certain persecution is now in a certain place, and his life of persecution will unfold according to the original trajectory.

And the so-called king's election, as the name suggests, is the selection of the next king.

However, the Kingdom of Lugnica is not a so-called democratic election, but an inheritance system; It's just that after the death of the previous king for unknown reasons, all the royal family members also died as if they were suffering from infectious diseases.

Normally......

In this case, even if the country is destroyed, it is a normal situation, but the Kingdom of Lugnica is a kingdom that has made an alliance with the dragon to protect it, so under the protection of the dragon, even if the royal family is extinct, the entire kingdom is still in normal operation, and there is no stupid thing like forcibly becoming a royal family by force.

Eventually, it naturally developed into the current ...... Only the five 'Dragon Shrine Maidens' recognized by the 'Dragon' are eligible to receive the dragon emblem and thus be eligible to participate in the throne election.

Of course, this is not to say that before the birth of the new king, the state was unmanaged, but that a group should be mentioned here.

- The Society of the Sages.

When the Kingdom of Lugnica is elected, it administers the group of the country in place of the king.

Of course, this is an external statement.

Because even when the king was still alive, the Sage Society was still running the entire country in the name of 'auxiliary', and it was precisely because of this special mechanism that even if the royal family died...... It didn't affect the kingdom either.

Ultimately......

The royal family, which has been directly cut off from blood, gives people a feeling of extremely low sense of existence.

"Tsk."

Using the information in the little boy's mouth, Wood also deduced a rough idea of the current situation, and came to a very powerful conclusion, saying to himself: "Sure enough, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible before the whirlpool appears." ”

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

The little boy still didn't take his eyes off Wood's gold ring, which seemed to Wood that if it weren't for the crowds on the street, the little boy might have pounced on him and robbed him; Compared to the little boy, the little girl's performance is barely normal, although she is greedy, but most of them are just longing.

"Nope."

"Isn't that the ......?"

Wood nodded, took the ring directly into his arms when it fell, and at the same time took out the money bag that he had just 'retrieved' at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and said with a slight smile: "How much is the total amount of vegetables you have here, I will give you the money." ”

“……”

“……”

The little boy looked at the money bag in Wood's hand, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and it took half a sound to react, and his big eyes were suddenly bloodshot: "Bastard, are you kidding me?" ”

"Huh?"

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked, and he chuckled, "Little brother, may I ask why I played you?" ”

"Didn't you say you were going to give me that gold ring?"

"Oh?"

The smile on Wood's face gradually lost his virtue, and at the same time he blinked innocently: "When did I say I was going to give you the gold ring?" If I'm not mistaken, I said, 'Answer me a few questions and I'll buy everything you have here,' and I didn't mention the word 'gold ring' from beginning to end. ”

"You ......"

The little boy's face suddenly darkened, and he glared at Wood and shouted, "Are you a fool for me?" The way you just threw the ring was obviously saying, 'I'll give you the gold ring, you tell me the information.'" ”

"Are you a fool to me?"

Wood roared in the boy's tone, "How could I exchange a gold ring for this pile of rotten vegetables." ”

"This ......"

The little boy was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't organize the language to refute Wood's words.

"Whether you sell it or not, if you don't sell it, I'll just leave, just enough to save a lot of money to buy broken vegetables." Without waiting for him to speak, Wood preemptively spoke, causing the little boy's face to change, glaring at Wood for a while before gritting his teeth.

"Sell!!"

"Ah, yes."

Wood slapped his head and squinted at the little boy, "Don't ask for too much money, although I did say that I would buy all your dishes here, but if you want more than I know, I'll turn away." ”

This bastard!!

The little boy's teeth grinded out, and this bastard was so immoral.

If he had agreed to buy all the vegetables in the first place, without the lure of the gold ring, he would have answered all the things Wood had to ask, and with the same enthusiasm as before.

But after making that gesture of 'throwing the ring', he used the money to buy the vegetables here, which made him now have an urge to rush up and fight with the other party.

In the end, the little boy still gave a relatively reasonable price as if he was fated, and Wood clicked on the currency, and gave the little boy a lot and a little bit, which made the little boy grit his teeth again.

Although the form of currency in this world is slightly different from the style of the world in which Akua and the others live, the form is similar, which is probably the setting common to this 'adventure in another world'.

"Humph, stingy!"

After taking the money, the little boy muttered, and directly pulled the little girl behind him who had not spoken: "Let's go, Aina, let's go home!" ”

However, he did not pull this pull, which made the little boy turn his head in confusion.

The girl named Aina shook her head at the boy, crouched down and sorted out the portions of vegetables, and wrapped them one by one in the rags underneath.

"Cut."

The little boy turned his head when he saw this, but he didn't stop him.

A smile flashed in Wood's eyes.

Sure enough,Compared to bear children,He still prefers sensible little Lori,Although there are a lot of extremely fucked bear children in Loli,Most of the first nearly 10,000 in the school city are restless masters...... He always broke the training equipment he had bought with great difficulty......

That being said, the smile on Wood's face grew even stronger.

After Ena wrapped all the vegetables, she handed them to Wood timidly, and bowed gratefully.

"Thank you."

Wood took it, and at the same time reached out to rub Aina's hair, but little Aina shrank her head in fear, allowing Wood to slap it empty.

"My sister is much more sensible than my brother." Wood didn't care, retracted his hand and smiled.

Although......

It's a bit embarrassing indeed!

After all, he had never been rejected by Lori before.

"I want you to take care of it!!"

The little boy glared at Wood and pulled little Aina up, "Aina, let's go, leave this bastard with a bad personality alone." With that, he grimaced at Wood, pulled little Aina and left.

However, before leaving, little Aina still waved at Wood politely.

Wood watched the two leave, not staying where they were, and heading in the opposite direction with their packages.

But less than 100 meters away, Wood sighed.

"Didn't you catch up?"

He muttered to himself inexplicably, hesitated for a few seconds and couldn't help but sigh again, turned around and walked in the direction where the little boy and the two left.

Although it seems to be an ordinary walk, if you look closely, you will find that every time you walk into the blind spot of pedestrian vision, others will suddenly rush forward.

Eventually, we came to the dark alley at the edge of the main road, and according to the location distribution that the little boy had mentioned earlier, the other street through this alley was the so-called slum.

However, Wood already knew that the little boy was supposed to be there when he knew that there was this slum, so it was not surprising.

And in this alley, a very old-fashioned plot is staged.

Three older youths, who are not good things at first glance, are intercepting in front of the little boy and Irene, and these three people are also very distinctive...... One tall and fat, the other short, and the white-haired one in the middle was neither tall nor short, and the three of them went to that station as if they were elementary school students standing in a row from high to low.
