There was not a single cloud in the sky, and there was a blazing sun overhead, and the sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people could not breathe. There was not a single wind in the air, and all the trees stood listlessly and lazily.

In the sweltering woods, a team is shuttling on the newly opened road, and it can be seen from the somewhat dark carriages and not strong horses that it is estimated that they are some of the broken settlements who dare to go to the southwest to pan for gold.

With the introduction of policies such as reducing taxes, eliminating dangerous species, and carrying out various large-scale constructions in the southwest region, the southwest region is gradually regaining its former prosperity after a year of fermentation.

The stable and excellent environment attracted groups of merchants to cross the Hari Mountains into the southwest region, and the golden road that had been blocked for nearly ten years was once again unblocked, and rumors of getting rich overnight began to circulate in the imperial capital.

As in the Age of Discovery, the first to venture were always the destitute who had nothing, and this group was also made up of people from the Slam slums in the imperial capital.

Rumors of people going to the southwest to become rich on the last night made these poor people, who were already living a difficult life, abandon everything to find a chance to make a fortune.

Of course, there are only a few people in this team who really have the purpose of doing business.

It was impossible for most of the poor people who had no principal at all to be a trader, and most of them had decided to come here after hearing about the low taxes and the abundance of jobs in Grilla.

"The heat is dead, the heat is dead, the heat is dead!" On top of the horses in front of the caravan, Leonay was sweating profusely, clutching a fan in one hand and fanning the wind desperately.

"Sister Leonai, you can bear with me, anyway, according to the map, it's almost there. Then again, since the weather here is almost unbearable, maybe we can make more. ”

It was the young man who was sitting in the carriage beside him, his name was Walker, his body was thin, but his face was very vibrant, and when he talked about making a lot of money, his eyes sparkled as if there was gold.

"Then you can go and marry your noble lady?"

Leoné squinted at him, the meaning in his eyes uncertain. At the same time, the people who heard this also burst out laughing.

Walker's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak.

This is a widely spread scandal, young Walker met a noble woman who was as beautiful as a flower and captivated the country when he went to the street to make soy sauce, and Walker was stunned at first sight, and the whole person hit a stone pillar, and the soy sauce in his hand was broken.

Empty-handed, Walker returned home and honestly stammered and confessed the truth to his mother, so the next day, with the help of the gossip of various middle-aged women, Walker's deeds spread throughout the slum Slam.

"Don't mind, little Walker, you're so shy, let alone marrying a noble lady, you can't even marry an ordinary wife."

Walker lowered his flushed face and stopped talking, but the black-bellied Leonai didn't let him go.

As a result, there was laughter and laughter in the once dull team at the sacrifice of little Walker.

After the procession walked for more than an hour, the huge city walls were already in sight.

"It's finally here! When I enter the city, I'm sure I'm going to have a big drink! ”

"Mother? Sure enough, Sister Leonai is really not young! ”

Walker, who was teased with a big red face along the way, couldn't help but whisper.

Boom!

One was careless, and smashed his big fist on Walker's head, rewarding him with a big bag.

"Walker! Do you think I can't hear it? Also, it's taboo to tell you about a woman's age! In the end, the old lady is still an eighteen-year-old flower girl! ”

Ignoring Walker's swirling eyes, Leonay gritted his teeth in warning.

"Hey, stop me! What about the entrance fee! ”

Just as the procession was about to enter the city gate, two tall and thin men stood in front of everyone, looking commanding.

"What? Doesn't it mean that you don't need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city here? ”

When the two men heard this, they immediately showed impatient looks: "Why don't you need to pay for entering the city?" Which city in the empire have you seen that you don't have to pay? There is no such good thing in this world as letting you into the city for free! Hurry up and hand over the money! ”

Leonay was stunned for a moment, indeed, the city entrance fee is something that every city in the empire will not give up, even if it is the imperial capital, rumors are rumors after all, who knows if it is wrong?

Thinking of this, Leonay smiled "coquettishly", and his face really changed like a flip book:

"Haha, the two adults are really sorry, we are new and don't know the rules, please don't blame us, how much? We'll hand it in now. ”

Seeing this, the two master men glanced at each other and showed an obscene smile:

"A person has a silver coin, and if you don't pay it, don't think about going into the city. Of course, if ......."

Saying that, the two of them smiled lewdly and glanced at Leonay's body, and the look on their faces did not need to be repeated.

"Damn!" Leonai gritted his teeth secretly, but Leonay, who had been in the slums all year round, understood that Hades was easy to hide, and imps were difficult to prevent, and knew that these people were very troublesome, so they had to pay for it to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

At this moment, a brown-haired girl with a ponytail with a puppy appeared at the city gate:

"You two! Dare to come here to cheat money! ”

As soon as they saw the girl, the two tall and thin men didn't even take the money, and turned around in a panic and fled.

"Stop! I'm going to get you all this time! ”

"I'm sorry to let us go this time!" The two fled in a panic and begged for mercy loudly.

Leonay was stunned when she saw this scene, blinking, she didn't understand that she had been deceived!

Leonay is not stupid, on the contrary, she grew up in the slums and is very knowledgeable about human affairs, and this time she was deceived can only be said to be a fixed mindset.

"Damn bastard! How dare you ......! Leonay clenched his fists, and golden hair grew out and covered his palms.

Walker suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a terrifying murderous aura filled the air, forcing him to dodge several steps.

Emperor Gu Beast King!

Leonay stepped on the blue-brick floor, and his figure disappeared with a swipe, appearing in front of the two fleeing tall and thin men as if teleporting.

"You two, lie down for me!"

The huge fist slammed into the faces of the two of them......

After some brutal abuse, the poor two lay on the ground with blue noses and swollen faces.

"This eldest sister, thank you very much for your help, but can you give them to me?"

At this moment, the brown-haired girl came running over with the puppy panting and said to Leonay.

Leonay kicked both of them hatefully, and then smiled pleasantly at the girl:

"Of course you can, thank you for your reminder this time, little sister."

Then Leonay put his arm on the girl's shoulder very familiarly: "We know each other now, can you tell me the name?" ”

"Hmm." The girl looked up and showed a bright smile: "My name is Seleuc, please advise ......."
