Chapter 30: Peace

"They may be friendly now, but I don't think they would be friendly if they knew who we were."

Clarence did not hesitate to dismiss him, not only because of the difference between countries, but at least for many people, laughter does not necessarily mean true happiness.

As the procession into the city moved quickly and orderly, and soon it would be their turn, Clarence took a deep breath and drove the sports car into the level.

"Yo, is this a friend from Picheng?"

Such a sports car will naturally attract enough attention, just entered the level, the soldiers have some curiosity walked up, Clarence noticed, they did not do any investigation of the vehicle in front, it seems that there is no need for proof of passage here, although I want to drive directly, but considering the alliance between Demacia and Piltover, leaving like this must be a little unpleasant, in order to avoid trouble, Clarence still chose to stop the sports car and chat with them in the proficient Demacian language: "That's right." Do you like this car? Would you like to come up and try it? ”

In terms of killer skills, Clarence may not be as good as Musel, but in terms of acting ability, Clarence is much stronger than Musel, and he was full of seriousness just now, and now he instantly turned into a frivolous young man, smiling at the soldiers with a slight meaning.

"Forget it, we don't want to be caught by the chief, but by the way, how much does this kind of car cost in your leather city, can we afford it%1%Ben%Read%Novel xstxt?"

The question of "this ......" made Clarence stunned for a moment, although he had considered many possible conversations before, he had never thought of this question, and after a little thought, he replied rather slyly, "It is difficult for me to answer this question, after you should know that for most of the residents of Piltover, it is not difficult to convert an ordinary vehicle into this." ”

"Haha, that's true! You two seem to have driven here from Leather City, right? This journey is not short, and it is not early now, so the two of them should go and rest first. ”

"Thank you." Unexpectedly, Clarence waved goodbye to the guards while starting to think about his next step......

"Wait!"

Before he had gone a few meters, the guards stopped him again for some reason, could there be something else? Clarence's heart sank suddenly, but he still reversed the car without changing his face: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Sorry, I almost forgot to ask, what exactly is on your friend's arm?"

"You mean......" Clarence immediately turned his head, and his face instantly turned a little ugly when he saw Mussel's arms.

Perhaps because of the pleasant conversation before, Clarence actually forgot a very important point, on Mussel's arms, the two scimitar scabbards were not hidden at all, and this guy who usually always kept the knife by his side didn't seem to realize what he had done at all, and still stared at the few people with innocent eyes.

"Hmm...... This...... This is ......" Clarence felt a little swollen in his head for a moment, how should this kind of thing be explained? If you can't explain it, why don't you just run away? Just when he was almost ready to make a move, Mussel suddenly took the initiative to stretch out his arm: "Are you guys curious about this thing?" Look, this is my latest invention, and I'm going to name it "Miao's Solo Flying Machine, which can instantly fly a person with my jetpack on its back and wings attached to my arm, and if you don't believe me, I can show you it now......"

"Don't do that! It's full of pedestrians now, and we can't stand it if something happens to you! The startled soldier immediately stopped him and pushed him back into the car as if he were afraid that he would do some crazy experiment.

……

"Friend, I said these people are very friendly, you really don't have to be so nervous."

After the sports car had driven some distance, Clarence finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could get angry, Mussel had already wittily spoken first.

"Are you kidding me? It doesn't say anything but your luck, and what are you going to do if they do let you demonstrate that so-called 'Muse's Flying Machine'? Please, please restrain even a little bit, and don't make me so nervous, okay? “

"Well...... Since you're so insisting, it's not impossible for me to do it, but ......"

"But what?" Mussel paused, he rarely felt so deep, and Clarence looked at him a little strangely for a moment.

"I'm a little curious," continued Musel, "is this the state of Demacia's army?" There is not even the slightest interrogation and search for unfamiliar faces? If we're going to sneak in on an assassination mission, is there any difference between such a defense and no defense? Is Noxus fighting such a 'friendly' country for so long? “

"You...... What you said does seem to have some truth...... "After being reminded like this, Clarence suddenly realized that it seemed to be the case, if this is a central city, it is fine, on the border of a country, is there really no problem with such a loose defense?"

Clarence looked back and saw that the soldiers were still standing there, and there was nothing strange about them, if anything, it was-

There is no tension at all in this place, it is so peaceful.

Although not a real soldier or officer, Demacia was not inferior to Noxus in any matter of the incidents he had heard from other generals, either in terms of military discipline or training, but if it looked like this......

"Hey, why haven't you spoken for a long time, what are we going to do next?" After noticing that Clarence's expression was getting more and more strange, Mussel asked without any nervousness.

"Blend into the atmosphere here." Clarence jerked his head up, and he slowly moved forward as he looked around as if looking for something, and after a moment, the two stopped in front of a regular shop.

"Clothing store? Do you have to buy clothes now? I'm sweating all over, can you wait for me to ......?"

"I don't want to take any risks, you can choose your clothes first and change them later." Clarence mercilessly rejected the offer and pulled him in.

"Good evening both...... You seem to be guests of Phi Cheng...... Want to buy some Demacia clothes? As soon as I entered the store, the proprietress immediately greeted me with a smile on her face.

"Hmm...... That's right, please give us some normal Demacian clothes, we want to feel the authentic Demacian style. “

"I want nice clothes that can attract some girls!" Mussel reminded him that Clarence couldn't help but hammer him hard in the chest.

"Of course," the proprietress said with a smile, she took a few pieces of clothing from the side, put them on their chests, and asked while comparing them, "This is the latest style this year, what do you think?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes, that's all. Clarence didn't care about that at all, he just wanted something to hide himself in, and to get out of here as fast as he could, and after waiting for Mussel to pick it out, he threw out two blue Demacia glyphs and turned away, which Zaun had stolen from Piltover, he didn't know the price here, he just hoped it was enough.

"Oh! Please wait a minute" The same thing happened again, and before the two of them left the shop, the proprietress called out to them again, "It seems that the two of you have been here before, but this year there are a little too many two glyphs, this is for you to change." ”

"Hmm...... Thank you" Clarence took a few red marks, and before he could leave, Mussel asked again with a lot of words, "Has the price been reduced?" How? Is something going on? ”

"That's right, yesterday His Majesty the King ordered a reduction in taxes, and business has become much better!"

Lower taxes? Wait, if I'm not mistaken, the army's report clearly states that Demacia has increased the number of troops this year, and more soldiers have lowered taxes? What's going on here?

"That...... May I ask, what is the reason for His Excellency Jarvin II's decision? Realizing that this might be the information he wanted to inquire about, Clarence immediately gave up on the idea of leaving.

"It's not clear......," the proprietress recalled, "Some say it's because Prince Lunn returned a week ago, and His Majesty the King was happy to make this decision, and some soldiers say that Prince Lunn defeated the main army of Noxus, and the Noxians were forced to want to sign a peace treaty, that's why it's like this!" ”

A week ago? Clarence thought back for a moment, according to the information from the headquarters, there was no conflict at all during this month, and the news of the defeat of the main force of Noxus was impossible to talk about at all, as for the words of a week ago, at that time Demacia and Noxus ......

War College? League of Legends?

"Thank you for the news," Clarence smiled, and he shoved the marks back into the hands of the proprietress and pulled Mussel out of the shop.

"Hey! Don't keep pulling me, okay! Mussel said with some dissatisfaction, but he also saw that Clarence seemed to have found some clues, and asked in a low voice, "None of the news that the boss lady said is true, does this have anything to do with the news we want to inquire about?" ”

"Surely there is, the Demacians don't put out this false news for no reason, but the reduction of taxes can't be a lie, and it seems that they are indeed interested in the plans of the two archmagists...... You go find a hotel to change your clothes, I'll get rid of the car, and we'll meet here in an hour. ”
