Chapter 20: Blocked
"Where are you from? The little boy asked as he walked.
"From the east side of the empire. Kane naturally didn't need to explain to him in detail, "You don't have to call me an adult, you can call me a big brother if you want, I'm not a few years older than you." ”
The little boy nodded, he was used to calling guests adults, and he couldn't change it all at once.
"What's your name?" said Kane, looking at the pedestrians and shops on the street.
"Jerry, big... Big brother, my name is Jerry. The little boy was still very unaccustomed to the title.
"Jerry?" Kane was stunned, this seemed to be a dragon knight's name, but this name has a high popularity rate now, and the parents who take this name naturally hope that their children can become successful.
"Well, it's the name of a dragon knight, he's my idol... I'm an orphan and I came up with the name myself. ”
"Oh, where did you hear that?" Civilians in this world rarely have access to words, and Kane doesn't believe he's reading it from books.
"The man who took me in was a monk, and he told me what he told me, and he used to tell me legends. ”
The monk refers to the ordinary members of the Church, who belong to the lowest echelons of the Church, and the gods do not exclude anyone of any race, who can become a monk if he wishes.
Kane groaned, and the two of them walked for a while, until they came to a wider street, but the street was wider, but there were fewer pedestrians than elsewhere.
"Big brother, there is the Demon Martial Arts Academy in front, you can walk straight a few steps and turn right to see the gate, this is the noble area, I can't continue to move forward. Jerry stopped and said.
Kane nodded, and took out a gold coin for him, which may be enough for him to live for half a year, not that Kane is generous, but first, he has a good impression of this little boy, and secondly, although he is a nobleman in this world, he is a beggar in another world, Kane understands that feeling, how he hopes that one day there will be a gold coin in Fengheng's broken bowl.
Jerry's eyes began to light up when he saw the gold coin, but he timidly shrank his hand and didn't dare to take it, he usually only got one or two copper coins for leading the way, and the gold coins were seen a lot, but he had never touched them when he was so big.
"Take it, and I hope you can become a legend in the future. Kane shoved the gold coin into his hand, and couldn't bear to look at his little tearful face, and turned and walked forward.
"Stop, who told you to come here!" Kane had barely taken a few steps when he heard a shout from behind.
"My lord, I didn't cross the line. It was Jerry's voice, and Kane stopped, and when he turned his head, he saw four or five men dressed as sergeants around Jerry.
"Little thief, who told you to come here, is this the place you can come?" a sergeant yelled as he looked at Jerry.
"It was an adult who asked me to bring him here... I know the rules... I didn't cross the line. Jerry trembled a little with their momentum, and said timidly.
"Smack!" came a crisp sound, and Jerry's little face immediately had a handprint.
"I ask you, where did you get the gold in your hand? I see you're obviously a thief! Someone! Arrest him!" The sergeant showed no mercy, and immediately charged Jerry.
There are also many people on the street who stop to watch, but no one goes up to stop them, this is the imperial capital, and everyone dare not mess around.
Kane understood that it should have been those sergeants who saw the gold coins he gave Jerry just now, and deliberately embarrassed him when they saw the wealth, but Kane didn't expect his kindness to hurt him.
"Stop!" came a shout, but it wasn't Kane, who really wanted to go up and help, but someone was a step ahead of him.
I saw a person walk out of the crowd, it was a girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was quite mature, with long brown hair hanging down to her waist, wearing a set of tight golden armor, and a sword hanging from her waist, which looked very eye-catching, but what surprised Kane the most was the clan emblem on her chest, two crossed long swords under a golden shield, this clan emblem Kane knew.
This is the family crest of the Gray family, the full name of the Marquis of Bryn Gray is Bryn Gray, Kane couldn't help but look at this girl carefully, black eyes, brown hair, thirteen or fourteen years old, everything is very consistent with the little girl in his memory, could it be that she is...
"Miss Leah. The sergeant hurriedly saluted when he saw her coming, and also confirmed Kane's guess, it turned out that she was his fiancée, and he now naturally understood what Leah was talking about that fiancé.
Kane looked at Leah, who looked mature and beautiful, and was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with her, this marriage was decided by Blair and Brin, a veritable political marriage, Kane was powerless to resist even if he was not satisfied.
"What did he do wrong?" said Leah, glancing at the sergeants, haughtily.
"We suspect him of theft, miss. A sergeant hurriedly returned, and several people next to him glared at Jerry, meaning that if you dare to talk nonsense, it will make you look good.
Jerry was even more frightened by their staring, and he didn't dare to raise his head all the time, Sergeant Fury was known for his ferocity in this area, and he didn't dare to provoke a few people.
"Really, what evidence do you have?" said Lia, still haughty, as she looked at the sergeant.
"The gold in his hand is proof that it is clearly not a possession that he can have. The sergeant looked right.
Leah walked up to Jerry and looked at him, "You really stole this gold coin?"
"It's... I stole it. Jerry can only admit the crime due to the power of a few people, although he is young, but he has seen too much on the streets all year round, if he doesn't admit it today, I'm afraid that he won't want to stay in Furui City in the future.
Liya frowned, she was nosy herself, but she had clearly seen that this gold coin was given to him by a young man just now, of course, she naturally couldn't say that on the table.
"In that case, let him go. "Although Leah wants to help, there is no way to help anymore.
"Wait, I gave him this coin. Kane hurriedly walked over, this matter was still caused by him, how could he watch them take Jerry away.
When Leah saw him come out, her face was a little annoyed, as if to say why don't you continue to hide!
Kane coughed dryly, "Let him go, I gave him this gold coin." ”
"Who are you?" the sergeant saw the person coming out, and knew that this matter might not be easy, but of course he had to pretend outside.
"You don't need to know this, it seems that the laws of the empire don't say that you can't give people gold coins, right?" Kane's face was a little arrogant, and he naturally wouldn't give a good face to this kind of bullying person.
Several sergeants told him that he was a little unable to get off the stage, and one of them reacted quickly, "This is the noble area, please show your family emblem." ”
Kane snorted, walked up to Jerry and asked for the gold coins he had been given, and gave him a few more copper coins, which was probably the best way to save him from disaster.
Jerry looked at the gold coin that he had just warmed up and been taken away, his eyes full of reluctance, but he also understood that Kane was doing it for his own good.
"Let's go, today's business is not good for me, and I will invite you to dinner another day. ”
Jerry nodded, and turned away with some disappointment, and the sergeants didn't stop them, but Kane had completely offended their dignity by ignoring them so much, and several of them had angry faces on their faces.
"Show me your coat of arms!" shouted the lead sergeant.
Kane just smiled, but he didn't mean to show it at all, he was a little angry in his heart now, if these guys didn't open their eyes, he wouldn't mind comparing with them.
"No, I know him, I can prove that he is not a civilian. Leah suddenly came out to help Kane, not knowing if she really recognized Kane or just wanted to help him.
Kane was also stunned, and several sergeants saw that she was not easy to entangle, so they turned around and left with an aggrieved face when they said offense, obviously if Lia didn't speak, I'm afraid that today's fight would be inevitable, this is their place, of course, they won't have any scruples.
Kane just wanted to go up and thank her when he saw Leah snort and walked forward, Kane was a little embarrassed, but seeing that she was going in the right direction, he hurriedly followed.
"Don't you know that that's going to hurt him?" said Leah, looking at Kane with some reproach.
"It's my first time going out, and I didn't think about it so much for a while, thank you for what just happened. Kane was a little embarrassed.
"Which family are you from?" asked Leah, turning back and walking.
"This—" Kane was really hard to answer for a moment.
Seeing him slurching, Leah snorted and ignored him, and quickened her pace to leave.
Kane stood there and looked at her arrogant back, feeling a little complicated, is this still the little girl who wanted to change her hair with him back then? This seems to be too much of a change!
Kane shook his head and continued to move on, and in a short time he saw a gorgeous gate standing in front of him, and Yari no longer knew where to go, and Kane thought to himself that he would have to meet sooner or later than he could.
"Stop, who are you?" Kane was just about to go in when he heard a sergeant shouting from a gatekeeper next to him, he had heard similar obstacles three times today, and he was already a little tempted to vomit at this time, this Furui City was really difficult to move.
"I'm a student inside. Kane replied calmly.
"You're from that branch, why don't you bring the emblem?" said the sergeant, looking him up and down for a while.
Kane didn't want to dwell on it any longer, and showed the ring on his hand, "I'm just here to enroll, I want to see Dean Auston, my grandfather is the vice president of the college, Blair Magister. ”
"Blair Magister? It turns out that he is a descendant of the master, please forgive me for the offense. The sergeant hurriedly saluted.
Kane nodded and walked in, secretly sighing that in the future, every person he sees will directly report his identity first, which may save a lot of trouble, the hierarchy here is really not ordinarily strict!
