Chapter 264: Everywhere on the alert

"We're adventure hunters coming from Ambrera, and we've been commissioned to escort items and need to settle here first. ”

As for the general content of the commission, Leach did not conceal it in the slightest, nor did he need to conceal it, and replied truthfully.

"Escort items?" Unexpectedly, hearing that Leach and his party were entrusted with delivering something, the guard suddenly became nervous, "What is it, please take it out, we need to check it!"

Although I don't know why the other party reacted so much, for the sake of low profile, Leach still obediently pushed the wooden box that was placed aside: "We don't know exactly what it is, because we have never seen it before, you can see for yourself, just don't damage it." ”

Although they thought that they were open and there was no danger in the things, it was obvious that the guards in front of them did not think so, and they were frightened to take a step back when they saw Leach push the box over. It looked like the box contained some kind of lethal forbidden weapon.

"That, you said you wanted to check, are you still checking it now?" Leach looked amused, and couldn't help but tease.

Several guards looked at each other.

However, even if he was timid, he still had to be checked, and in the end, the man who seemed to be the captain of the guard casually pushed one of his subordinates out and ordered him to check what was in the box.

Even though his legs and stomach were shaking with fright, the man had to be bold enough to open the box.

When he saw the disgusting eggs inside, the man screamed in fright, and was about to run back, but was kicked back by the captain.

After making sure that the contents were not harmful for the time being, several guards surrounded them.

"What the hell is this, you, tell me?" After a moment of careful observation with disgust and fear, the captain pointed the finger at Leach, who was standing aside and watching the bustle.

"I've said it all, and I don't know. Leach spread his hands, "But this thing doesn't seem to be dangerous, we haven't seen any change in it after we've taken it all the way, and it's always been like this." ”

"Don't think that if you say that, I will let you go easily, I will never be fooled!"

Leach couldn't help but roll his eyes, too lazy to bother with the obviously inward-looking captain.

Leach didn't answer, and the guards began to poke the eggs inside the box with the hilt of their swords. Fortunately, these people still thought that Leach had told him not to break things, and did not poke them with the tip of his sword, which made Leach breathe a sigh of relief.

The results of the examination naturally did not have any problems, although the egg was poked by those few people and kept changing shape, but as soon as they let go, it would quickly turn back to its original state, and there was no sudden explosion or attack as they imagined.

"Alright, there's nothing wrong with the stuff check, take out your Adventure Hunter badge and I'll take a look. Because he had made too much fuss before, the captain spoke a little stupidly.

Sensing the other party's unhappiness, Leach and the others wisely did not choose to go to his touch at this time, but obediently took out the badge and handed it over.

The same goes for Ti Cinille, who had already registered Liliel with Lilier before leaving Ambrera.

After checking again, the captain ordered the release, and finally did not forget to warn Leach and the others to keep to themselves in the town and try to cause as little trouble as possible.

"This big brother, what's going on here, why is the investigation so strict?" Having already proved his innocence, Leach asked the question that he had been puzzled for a long time.

Probably feeling very faceless in front of Leach, the captain replied very impatiently: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know, you just need to be safe and secure, don't make a mistake and fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely make you look good! Okay, go in quickly after the inspection, don't waste my time here, next one!"

After saying that, the captain really stopped talking to Leach and the others, and instead went to interrogate the people in the queue behind.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from the guard, Leach shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, since people don't want to talk about it, let's go in and have a look!"

Entering the interior of the small town of Kermos, Leach immediately noticed something unusual.

It stands to reason that a border town like this, especially one of the larger trading cities like Ambrera, will definitely have a lot of people coming and going, and the streets will definitely be lively.

But when Leach looked around, he saw that the streets here were unusually deserted, and there were occasionally a few passers-by, but they were also in a hurry, as if they did not want to stay on the street for a moment.

As for outsiders like Leach, after seeing how deserted the street was, they involuntarily accelerated their pace, and subconsciously seemed to always feel that something bad would happen if they walked slowly.

Leach and his party were not exempt from vulgarity, but while they were in a hurry, Leach also deliberately paid attention to the houses and shops on both sides of the street, and found that the people here seemed to be in a state of alertness, and they all showed vigilant expressions when they saw several of them.

Several times Leach tried to come up and ask what was going on, but whenever he tried to get closer, those who pointed at them would deliberately pretend to be something, either leave or turn their heads away, forcing him to give up any attempt to inquire about the matter.

However, the advantage of having fewer people on the street is that Leach and she don't have to ask anyone, and they can easily see the whole street, and they can see exactly what shops are on both sides of the road, which makes it easier for them to find hotels.

The further he went, the more he felt the tension of the place. The small shops opened by individuals before were fine, and the shopkeepers deliberately pretended to be unapproachable when they saw strangers, but when everyone saw those relatively large stores, they found that what those small shopkeepers did was already very polite.

For example, in this large furniture store in front of everyone, there are two rows of guards standing at the door, and these guards are each carrying weapons. Seeing Leach and them stop to watch, the guards put their hands on the handles of their weapons as if demonstrating, shouting for Leach to leave quickly, or give them a good look.

Holding back her anger but wanting to go up and teach them a lesson, Leach felt that it was better to have more than less, and it was better to cause less trouble when she was away. What's more, they seem to still have "cases" on their backs, which makes them even more low-key.
