Chapter 346: Gondoguna
Unlike Kelmos, Gondoguna, although geographically close to the former, is obviously not as wealthy as the former, but the two also have similarities, for example, the gate is quite strict, and this is what makes Leach and the others the most puzzled.
It is understandable that Gundoguna is not a border town, and secondly, he has never heard of anyone making trouble here, so it is a little strange that the strictness of the gate is only higher than that of Kelmos.
Since he found something suspicious, of course he had to ask to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings after entering the town, but when Leach stepped forward to ask what was going on here with a smile on his face, he was scolded by the guards with a stinky face, and naturally he didn't ask anything.
"Strange, what's going on here, even if something bad happens, you have to warn the travelers to be careful, what's the matter if you don't say anything?"
"Hmph, maybe that man lost all his money playing cards last night, and he was in a bad mood, so he poured his anger on your head, Captain!" Seeing that Leach was deflated, Tali gloated at him after losing a word to the guard.
"I know, I know!" Lena suddenly raised her hand and looked very excited, "He must be hungry and anxious to get off work to eat, so he doesn't want to deal with the young master!"
After saying that, her stomach screamed very cooperatively.
Leach was full of black lines: "I think you're hungry......"
Since Gondoguna is still far away from Kelmos, and there is no place to stop or restaurant in the middle, plus he is anxious to find Taivi, so as not to have many dreams at night, they all deal with a few mouthfuls casually on the way, and basically have not eaten properly, at this time, listening to Lina say this, even Leach feels a little hungry.
"Since people don't want to talk about it, then let's not force it, and we'll find someone to inquire after we enter the town. In line with the principle that more is better than less, Saya put forward his own proposal.
Therefore, they did not carry the conspicuous box, and this time Leach and the others were not specially stopped by the guards for inspection as they were in Kelmos, and the five of them entered the town smoothly. As for the commissioned items, Leach had asked Howard to let him take care of them before he came out, believing that it was safe enough to keep them with him.
After voting, the option of "find a place to eat first" won an overwhelming 5-0 advantage, beating the other option "find someone to inquire about the news", so the group came to the hotel in the town in a rage.
Originally, they were actually looking for a restaurant, and they could also ask about what was going on here, as well as news from Tai Wei, but when the five of them learned that they would have to travel a long way to get to the restaurant, they wisely chose to stay at a hotel not far away.
After a full meal, Leach inquired about the news at a restaurant alone.
The reason why he was reluctant to go far was because when Leach asked the innkeeper, who seemed to be a very scared person, and when he heard Leach ask what was going on in the town, he waved his hand and told Leach not to meddle in his business, and to stay in the hotel well, and not to inquire about those who were not. was pressed tightly and avoided on the grounds that he still had something to dodge, so that Leach didn't even have a chance to inquire about Taivi's news.
Leach went out and did not return to the hotel until late evening.
If it weren't for the fact that the girls were very confident in him, and they hadn't heard rumors of trouble in the town, they would have gone out to look for him if they hadn't come back for so long.
However, Leach has been out for so long, and naturally he has gained a lot, and as soon as he returned to the hotel, he couldn't wait to share the news he had heard.
"Do you know, the reason why this place is so heavily guarded is actually because there is a thief who is quite capable here. ”
"Thieves?" Tali scoffed, "The guards in this town are too sloppy, and a thief scares them like that, and if there is a group of bandits, they must not be scared to death?"
"Isn't it that Howard hurt you a few words before, are you so careful that you kill a large piece with a rod?" Leach muttered quietly, and then explained: " I'm not talking about an ordinary thief, it is said that this man only steals from the rich and noble, and has never been dismissive of those priceless collectibles, and the target is only on cash and gold and silver jewelry, and the more heavily guarded the place, the more he likes to steal, as if until now, not only the rich families in the town have been robbed, but even the mayor's house has been patronized by him!"
"Cut, it's not just a thief after all. Tali looked very disdainful, "No matter how powerful it is, as for the people passing by, do you have to check it in detail?If you can really catch that thief in such a stupid way, are they still working there until now? After all, it's not that the guards are useless!"
Leach didn't argue with her, but continued: "Hehe, you may not believe it, this thief is not only very famous here, but almost the entire rich and noble families of the Federation have heard of his name, and there are definitely not a few who have been patronized by him!"
Now Tali was really a little surprised, and didn't continue to count the poor guards. Not only her, but even Saya and Ti Xinlier also showed interested looks.
As for Lena, she had never cared much about such anecdotes, unless she had money to make and was thinking about what to eat for dinner.
"It is said that the thief suddenly appeared in the federal territory a year ago, and the location of the crime was randomly selected, and there was no pattern to follow. At first, he didn't have such a big reputation, because there were places where the theft happened all over the world, and everyone didn't think that it was the same person who did it. ”
"But this person has a habit after successfully committing the crime, that is, he likes to put the word 'thirteen' at the place of crime with anything valuable that he can get, because the characteristics are very obvious, and later more and more people have stolen it, and everyone has summarized the information they have, only to find that everything is done by the same person. ”
