Chapter Ninety-Six: The City of the Free (One More Chapter to Come)
Novigre, the pearl of the north, originally belonged to the kingdom of Redania, is a large port city, because of the relationship of free trade has become an independent free city, Novigre is famous for its commercial activities, if the ships that come in and out here every day are armed into a military force, it will be a fleet that cannot be underestimated, and there are merchants from all over the world coming and going here every day, bringing huge trade taxes to the city, so in the time when the war between the Southern Empire and the Northern Alliance entered the stalemate stage, Both sides wanted to take the city to their side, but the four gangsters who controlled the city threatened to destroy the city, preventing both sides from violently taking the city.
"Fengyan, why are we here?"
Mia pushed her glasses, and then gently pulled the hair bun back next to her ears, only to see a black headset hanging from her ear, which was flashing with a faint blue light, a gray and blue spherical robot with an embarrassed face, relying on a small propeller above her head to float beside her, the white cape on her body lifted up with the continuous blowing sea breeze, the tight white blouse was tightened by the blue waist, and a black hip-wrapping skirt showed her tall and slender body.
The woman wearing the black cheongsam with the slit at the thigh next to her quilt is the Fengyan in her mouth, with long flaxen-colored hair tied into a bun on both sides of the head, and then two long braids, which are still swaying while walking, although Fengyan is not as tall as Mia's figure, but unlike Mia's slenderness, her whole body looks very well-proportioned, especially wrapped under the black stockings, and the fleshy but not loose legs contain sufficient explosive power.
"I heard there's an underground fighting arena in this place." Feng Yan clenched her hands with a pair of white gloves in front of her chest, and her knuckles made a crisp sound, "Although there are a lot of monsters in the wild, and last time we broke into the battle position between the two armies, but these don't enjoy much fun in fighting." ”
Mia glanced at Feng Yan helplessly, thinking that some time ago, the two of them wandered all the way, but they just walked to the battlefield, and the charging cavalry would not care about them who accidentally broke in, and the consequence was that the cavalry rushing from both directions crashed headlong into the ultimate mental qi mask released by Feng Yan, and those who were lucky were all fractured all over the body, and as for those who were unlucky, it was conceivable what the fate was.
"The problem is, there's no way there's anyone in a fighting arena like this who can be your opponent?"
"I don't have to be angry, if I control my strength again, I guess I can still have a good time." As he was talking, a drunk man swayed to the two of them, and the next moment he was about to lean on Feng Yan, only to hear Feng Yan shout, the drunk man fell directly into a state of dizziness, and then he was already drunk and sat on the ground, Feng Yan pouted, "This place is really messy." ”
The two of them are in the market west of the city, which is at its busiest on weekdays, with many vendors selling their wares, and similarly, crowds mean chaos, and the idle nomads, thieves, and beggars like to hang out here.
Maybe he didn't see Feng Yan stunned the drunk, a thin man stared at the two women, the clothes of the two women seemed to him to be rare even nobles to have such exquisite clothes, it must be a rare fat sheep, it was the metal ball floating in the air I don't know what it was, maybe it was some kind of alchemy product.
The man lowered his head, pretended to be chasing behind him, and ran forward, and then hit Mia, and the dagger that came out of his sleeve slashed through a small charm that looked like a money bag around Mia's waist, and after he put it in his hand, he passed through the crowd, and continued to run forward without looking back, and in a blink of an eye he was about to go around into the side alley.
"Beep!" The little robot floating next to Mia let out an alarm sound.
Hearing the alarm, Mia and Feng Yan immediately guessed what had happened at that moment just now, Feng Yan kicked her feet, jumped directly into the air, and then stepped on the top of the wooden shack of a small stall, and the whole person bounced up again, crossing the crowd and falling to the entrance of the alley.
"Alright, thief, hand over what you stole!"
Feng Yan stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers, staring at the thin man who had just hid in the alley and said, "You have two choices, hand it over yourself, or I will teach you a lesson and then take it back." ”
Although that thing is just an ornament on Mia's clothes, it is not very valuable, but it is difficult for anyone to feel that someone has stolen something, especially since this guy actually stole his sister's things in front of him.
The thief thought that he had been here for many years, and that he had barely missed, and besides, he had nothing to fear from two women who didn't even have weapons with them.
It's a pity that this thief really found the wrong target.
"You'd better get out of here! Otherwise, you will not lose a little money. ”
"Sure enough, you chose the second option." Feng Yan moved her wrist and made a few crisp sounds, "You thin arms and legs, I don't know how many punches you can take from me?" ”
This time the thief finally began to wonder if he had mentioned the iron plate, took the dagger in his hand, carefully took a few steps back, and just hid in the shadows, which seemed to be a dead end, but in a small door next to it was a small stronghold for him and his accomplices, and he usually hid for a while and then left, but he did not expect to be discovered so quickly this time.
Feng Yan snorted coldly and strode directly into the alley, and at this time, Mia also walked to the side of the alley, she didn't follow up, leaned directly against the wall next to the alley, and stretched out her slender fingers to tease her little robot.
A few vendors on the side of the road glanced at it and shook their heads, in this gang-ruled city, thieves have their own organizations, so most outsiders will not provoke them easily, because some people who chase the thief to death, many of them are put down by the thief and his accomplices, and after a violent beating, they will snatch the last valuable things on their bodies, and if it is a woman, the encounter will be even more miserable.
At one of the stalls, an old man with gray hair sighed lightly and walked up to Mia's side, "Girl, go and call the guards, or your companion may be in danger." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a scream from the alley, and after a while, I saw Feng Yan holding the trinket in her hand, blowing lightly for a few breaths, and then squatting down to tie it back to Mia's waist, but Mia knocked her head down.
When Fengyan and Mia pushed each other and walked away, and after a while they disappeared into the crowd, a young stall owner patted the shoulder of the old man who kindly reminded him just now, "We're not mistaken, right?" ”
"Probably not." The old man glanced at the young man beside him, who liked to join in the fun afterwards.
A few unbelievable vendors also ignored their stalls for the time being, walked to the side of the alley, and looked inside, only to see that there were several people lying in the alley, all with blue noses and swollen faces, among which the guy who stole things was the most unlucky, and was actually hung on the clothes pole sticking out under the eaves, and was looking at the onlookers below pitifully.
"Is that girl a witch?" A young man touched someone who seemed more mature and experienced next to him.
"No, it looks like they've all been punched, and besides, we didn't see anything today."
The others nodded knowingly, this kind of thing is for them ordinary small traders, it is better not to have anything to do with it.
"By the way, how many radishes did you sell today?"
"Fortunately, there are a few housewives who often come to me to buy, and the business is good."
"That's your turnip big enough!" The two vendors pushed each other and smiled in a way that everyone understood......
On the other side, Mia, who was walking side by side with Feng Yan, suddenly pressed her finger to her ear, as if she was receiving some news, and then the blue light in the eyes of the little robot suspended next to her became stronger, and then projected an image forward, seeing the content on the image, she hurriedly grabbed Feng Yan, who was still striding forward, "Let's go, let's go out of the city." ”
"Why, I still have to go to the fighting ring~"
"The master has appeared!"
