Xia He was originally worried that he would face direct conflict when he came to the imperial capital, but when he saw the structure of Juno City, Xia He understood that at least in the city, everything was under the control of the royal family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At most, you can fight with others, and the possibility of a battle conflict is very small.

Xia He took Ovilla and Martin to take over the Earl's Court. This city of Juneau has a total of six floors, the villa is only on the second floor, and the sixth floor of the innermost core is the royal palace. The Earl's Court is located on the fifth floor, and between each floor, there is a special architectural separation, and the terrain is higher than the first.

The further inside, the more valuable the land becomes, and the conversion deed tax of the Earl's Court is 14,000 gold coins, and if it is a small nobleman with a poor family, he can't afford to give it to him in vain.

The city of Juno is clean, but not neat, many of the streets are not straight, the buildings are scattered, and although they look beautiful, the carriages do not run fast on such streets.

Xia He didn't have a car now, and the three of them walked leisurely and walked to the depths of Juno's city.

Xia He carefully observed, the architectural style of this city of Juno has an internal unity, no matter how the appearance changes, the main building materials are lapis gold bricks, synthetic ironwood, cloud wood, and painted tiles. When he saw these cornices and arches, Xia He mistakenly thought that he had returned to Shenzhou.

Between the buildings and on both sides of the street, there are trees all planted, 100% of which are magic plants, most of them are seven-colored maples, and there are also precious varieties such as camphor, ancient acacia, cloud cherry, and four seasons apricot. Seeing the beginning of autumn, the leaves of the seven-colored maple begin to change color, the flowers of the cloud cherry have already fallen for a few months, the branches have turned crimson, and the small leaves of the ancient locust are hung with thin silk threads fluttering in the wind, which is the traces left by the autumn silkworms.

Xia He liked this atmosphere, so he slowed down.

In front of it is the commercial area, there are many shops, and Xia He didn't want to buy anything, so he walked through the street.

"Sir, does it smell good?" Martin sniffled.

Xia He looked up and saw a four-story building facing the street not far from the right-hand side. The building has large glass windows, a courtyard gate on the side, and a place to park the carriages and horses.

"Martin, are you hungry?"

The thief grunted in his throat and shook his head.

"That's gluttony, let's go, go in and have a look. "Xia He also gave everyone a meaty dough cake and something like that last night, the taste is not good, and it is just served with water to quench hunger.

There are also occasional nobles in the business district, but they are all minor nobles such as barons and lords, and everyone is used to seeing knights. A magician of the earl level like Xia He would not have appeared in this kind of hotel.

However, the people in the imperial capital have vicious eyes, Xia He is wearing half of the blood-colored magic robe, drawing the family crest, and the metal coat of arms is also hung on the belt, this kind of thing at least in the imperial capital no one dares to counterfeit, and it is a capital crime to use it indiscriminately.

The waiter, dressed in a short snow-white shirt with a tiny face, sets the menu on the table.

"Your Excellency the Venerable Mage......"

"I see for myself, you go and get busy, and I'll call you later. Xia He interrupted the waiter.

"Yes. The waiter respectfully left Xia He's place.

Although this hotel is not high-end, there are partitions by the windows, and the space is spacious. Xia He threw the menu to Martin and said, "What did you find?"

"Someone followed us out of our dwellings, and they were attached to the back. ”

Xia He nodded, he also found out, but Martin is the person in charge of guarding, if he doesn't find out, it will be a dereliction of duty, Xia He will continue to let Martin say.

"Two groups of people followed, the first two followed, and the latter followed the front, and there were four. When we stopped at the hotel, the two men walked away, and the four followed. They were all professionals, and two of the six were just like me. I think they're going to provoke. ”

"It's boring. Ovilla said with some irritation.

"I think it's funny, Martin, what do you say about them?"

Martin flipped through the menu and said, "If it's in Storm Corner, just kill it directly, it seems that you can't do it here?"

"Of course not. ”

"My lord, they're here to disgust you, and I don't know what they're going to do. ”

"If I'm going to kill someone, then I'm not going to kill half of the people in the world?"

Martin poked a few casual clicks on the menu, handed it to Ovilla, then stood up and walked towards the four men who had followed him. The four followers, three men and one woman, were all young, dressed up, just civilians.

Of course, professionals are respected even if they are civilians, but Martin has no intention of respecting them.

Ovilla beckoned the waiter and told him what he was ordering. Martin, for his part, had already drawn his dagger and pressed it against the neck of a short-haired man.

The people around them screamed and avoided each other. The waiter's face also changed, but when he saw the coat of arms on Xia He's body, he didn't dare to say anything.

Martin pressed the dagger against the man's neck, and the three fingers of his left hand clasped around his skull, and the man's face leaned back violently, his eyes blackened, and his whole body was numb.

"Hand over the stuff. Martin looked at the delicate woman across the table, in her early twenties, with a little thick makeup on her face and a little less on her body. Seeing that she looked frightened, and was about to roll around, Martin's dagger was pressed, and a trace of blood flowed down.

"You stole my family's money, I see that you are poor, and I will not pursue it. ”

The woman changed color, and as soon as she reached out, she touched the purse at her waist.

"What do you dare to do, I will slowly cut off his head, and now put the money bag on the table and open it myself. ”

The woman stood up suddenly, and Martin sneered, "Do you want me to call the Red Gloves?"

The red gloves are not the people who patrol the security, they are the inspectors' uniforms and equipment in the imperial capital prison, and they will peel off their skin if they are stained.

The woman didn't expect that the target person would come to the imperial capital for the first time, and he would be so familiar with the doorway. They all have criminal records, and if they really call the red gloves, they will be forced to confess if they don't have a crime.

The woman slowly took off the money bag and put it on the table, she didn't know what the other party wanted to see what the money bag meant, it did contain the money she stole from, but what could this prove? It was just a sin of a few gold coins, and the red gloves would not care.

The woman's hand was on the table, and Martin stabbed it with a lightning bolt, and the woman howled and was pinned to the table with Martin's dagger. Martin's hand pushed the man who was still rolling his eyes away, and he pinched the corner of the money bag with his left hand and shook it. More than a dozen gold coins rolled out inside, and the woman's eyes straightened.

Martin gently picked up a gold coin, held it up in front of the woman, and said, "This gold coin was issued by my family lord in the territory, and it hasn't had time to enter circulation, so you won't say that you earned it from the outside, right?"

The woman relented, the gold coin was indeed unfamiliar, with a circle of magic patterns on the edge, a tetrahedral pattern on the back, and a family crest on the front, exactly the same as the target person's body, but much simpler.

When did he stuff the gold in his purse?

Martin put away the coin, reached out and grabbed the woman by the hair, pulled it to her, and whispered in her ear, "Go back and speak to your master, and then send someone to follow, and I will send you all to prison." Then slowly interrogated, some people can always be implicated. Not only do you splash dirty water, but you are far from being smart. ”

"I ......"

"I'll just assume that you understand. Martin let go of the woman's hair and jerked out the dagger.

The woman endured the pain this time, did not dare to shout, and did not dare to ask for the gold coins on the table, and rushed out of the hotel with her head down, and the other two companions set up the man who was still in a drowsy and left in a panic.

Martin put away his dagger, collected all the gold coins on the table, turned back to Xia He, and saluted.

"It's okay, you can keep the gold. ”

Martin smiled and put away a dozen gold coins, these money are nothing to adults, but he cherishes it very much, Martin cherishes every coin, he dare not forget the poor days at the beginning.

"Say, will they send someone again?" Ovilla snapped his finger and called the waiter.

"Yes, but it won't be so low-level. Xia He also said a little helplessly.

"What do you command, sir?" asked the waiter, trotting over, bowing his head.

"How much is the table over there, I'll pay you, and call two iron hats, I want to talk about the theft, the security of this imperial capital is too bad." ”

The waiter is exquisite, you let people go, and you still report the case?

This is a special person who wants to get the security patrol and ruin my business.

"Look, my lord...... This person is gone, so it's better to forget it. ”

"What's the matter?" Ovilla glared coldly at the waiter, her turquoise pupils radiating murderous intent.

"It's the adults who are disturbed, how can I make you compensate for the table. "The waiter is sweating.

"Forget it, you can't blame them. Xia He spoke beside him.

Ovilla snorted, she was very keen, and she felt that the waiter in this shop must know those four people.

If you're at sea, you don't need any evidence, but this is the city of Juno, the imperial capital of the Arcane Empire.

After a while, a fat man with a round face came out from behind, he was wearing a high-necked gown, his belly bulging out, and his bow tie was tied very tightly, as if he was holding his stomach in one breath.

"Adults, I'm the owner of this shop, I'm really sorry about the matter. ”

Xia He didn't bother to pay attention, looking out the window, on the other side of the glass window, the sunlight penetrated through the crown of a golden pine, mottled on the road, and a few children squatted under the tree, using branches to go to the barrel ant hole.

There are no children to be seen in Cape Storm, and most of them don't even have a home, just a single one.

"This is a gift I gave to a few adults, the specialty of our store, the roasted swan with money honey. ”

Xia He saw a small child screaming and jumping up, and a multi-legged insect jumped down from the trunk of a tree, like a centipede. The other children laughed, and two of them smoked with branches.

The waiter brought a large plate and placed it in the center of the table. The owner of the hotel personally arranged the small bowl with gold lacquer, and Xia He withdrew his gaze and instantly sent a mage's hand.

The boss was grabbed by the mage's hand, lifted upward, and then slammed it the ground, instantly becoming half-dead, and the corners of his mouth continued to ooze blood.
