Chapter 18: Beating the Watchdogs
Kalo City is thousands of miles away from Utan City, and with Ye Xiao and Mi Qi's cultivation, I'm afraid it will take a whole day to walk.
So they finally decided to go through the teleportation array.
In some medium-sized cities, there are some teleportation arrays built by high-level mages, which can directly reach the destination city. But the money spent is not a small amount.
This final decision is actually Mickey's final decision.
Because with Ye Xiao's temperament, there is no doubt that the first choice is to go through the teleportation array. Money is a fart, you can grab it again if it's gone.
"You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Mickey was a little distressed, "It's not good to spend so much money." ”
Ye Xiao was worried about the large pile of silver coins in his pocket, and he didn't take Mi Qi's words to heart. "Don't worry, I invite you this time, and I won't use the village expenses. You are really poor enough, you know, in the place where I used to be, the village chief was synonymous with the Emperor of the Earth. How many are short of money? ”
It didn't take long for them to arrive at a medium-sized city closest to Utan City, which was ranked fifth in the Missacred Bay, so it had its own teleportation array.
The teleportation array was built in the central square of the city, which was a square covering an area of about 20,000 square meters. The square is full of people and lively.
On the way to the teleportation array, everyone was lining up to buy "tickets". In charge of the ticket sales was a young man with nostrils in the sky, who looked to be less than twenty years old, and his expression was extremely arrogant.
"He doesn't seem to be a cultivator?" Ye Xiao sensed that there was no magic power on that person's body.
Mi Qi shook her head, "Either we really haven't opened our spiritual intelligence, or our cultivation is so advanced that we can't even notice it." Which do you think is more likely? ”
Ye Xiao was noncommittal, but an old man with a child in front of them turned around and whispered, "You are outsiders, right?" This person really didn't turn on his mind, he was born in a famous magic family in the city. It's only because of their strong family relationship that they can get such an errand to guard the teleportation array. ”
Ye Xiao scolded secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that when he came to this world, he had to look at the faces of those who went to the relationship, and it was enough.
It would be fine if this guy had a better service attitude, but looking at his appearance, he seems to like to play prestige. I don't know if it's because I have prejudices against cultivators because I haven't opened my spiritual wisdom, so I can use the power in my hands to obtain this sick psychological balance.
"What are you doing in Saint-Vil. Don't you know that St. Vi has a land and trade dispute with us recently? When it was Ye Xiao's turn to buy tickets, the young man's face suddenly changed and he asked.
"You two can't be spies, are you? Otherwise, why would this child be covered so tightly? ”
The old man was taken aback, and quickly bowed in panic, "Official, how do we little civilians know about those things?" To tell you the truth, my grandson was seriously ill, and the city doctor said that he would have to go to the nearby city of Saint-Vi to buy the most important herbs. ”
The old man sighed as he spoke, "If it weren't for the fact that we were the two of us at home, and I couldn't move, I would have taken him on foot." Who wants to spend so much money on teleportation! Make it easy for you! ”
The young man looked at the old and the young in disgust, and took out two enchanted paper "tickets" from the table with the words "Saint-Vi" written on them.
"Two silver coins."
Hearing the words of the young man selling the ticket, several people at the back of the line couldn't help coughing.
And the old man was also surprised, "Official, doesn't it only cost 50 copper coins to go to Shengwei City?" And children are still half price. Please, we really don't have enough money, and we have to go to St. Vigil to buy medicine. ”
The young man knocked on the table impatiently, "This is a new rule under the city lord, because there is a conflict between the two cities, so the cost of traveling between the cities has also increased. If you don't have any money, don't use the teleportation array, go back and make up the money! ”
But looking at the reactions of those people in the back, Ye Xiao and Mi Qi can understand that there is no such regulation at all, and it is obvious that this young man is deliberately bullying the old and young and using power for personal gain.
"Village chief, are you willing to preside over this justice?" Ye Xiao leaned close to Mi Qi's ear and asked with a smile.
Mi Qi's face flushed, obviously Ye Xiao's question was too difficult for her. Of course, she is kind-hearted, but she also knows that it is never a good thing to offend officials in other places. "Why don't we make up the difference for this old man?"
Ye Xiao looked at Mi Qi's embarrassed look, but felt very funny in his heart.
"Village Chief Miki, is this your way to solve the problem? That's up to me. ”
He stepped forward, stopped the old man with a trembling hand and handed over the two silver coins, and smiled kindly at the young man.
"Aren't you just a watchdog? Do you dare to rely on the power of your master to play prestige? ”
When the young man heard this, he was stunned, his face turned red, and he was about to slap the table on the spot, but he was stopped by Ye Xiao's words.
"Do you know who we are? Do you know where we came from? Ye Xiao pulled Mi Qi over and asked the young man fearlessly.
There was a whisper in the crowd at the back, all quietly guessing the identities of Ye Xiao and Mi Qi.
Because of his special background, young people are the most sensitive to issues like Ye Xiao, and he also knows that he can't offend people with backgrounds at will.
"You...... Who are you? ”
Ye Xiao smiled and looked at Mi Qi. "It's ridiculous that this dog thing doesn't know who we are......"
After speaking, Ye Xiao kicked out, kicked the young man in the lower abdomen, and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"I don't know how crazy we are! Come on! ”
After speaking, Ye Xiao laughed, grabbed two tickets to Kalo City from the table, and threw the silver coins stored in the drawer into the sky, and after overturning the table, he pulled Mi Qi to run towards the teleportation array.
The crowd behind came back to their senses, and many people immediately made a commotion and participated in the ranks of grabbing silver coins and "tickets". For a moment, it was like a fried pan in the square.
"See, Mickey? In fact, the people are not easy to mess with, they are not very honest, but they have been forced by the coercion of the government to suppress their impulses. All it takes is a lit fire, and these people will burn violently like dry firewood, and they can't stop it! ”
The guards who rushed to the nearby began to scramble to maintain order in the square, and it was estimated that they had not encountered this situation for a long time, and the scene became more and more chaotic for a while.
The young man sat on the ground with a bewildered expression, covering half of his face before he could react.
"Who the hell are they? Where did it come from? They ......"
At a certain moment, he suddenly understood, jumped up from the ground, jumped like thunder, and looked up to the sky and cursed.
