Chapter 44: The Thief Who Caught the Thief

What they saw and heard inside the station was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire city of Gnora, and it was only after the station that Bell and Garay truly saw the magic of the metropolis. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city is divided into East and West districts, separated by the Gnora River. The train station is located in Xicheng District, and the association branch is not far from it, about three or four blocks away.

In such a short distance, several power cars have already whizzed by, and the two seem to see the serious and proud faces hidden behind the dark car windows, directing the rolling wheels to drive the whole city forward; all kinds of high-rise buildings occupy the limited space on both sides of the street, producing enterprises, cafes, inns, taverns and other urban elements; they are like the stomach pouch of cattle and sheep, eating some of the people in the street and then vomiting them out immediately; but the high-rise buildings are also benevolent, and occasionally vacate some dark alleys, where some cats, dogs, and the humble of the homeless are housed。

What impressed the two rookie knights the most was the constant flow of people in the city of Gnora, who rubbed shoulders in the streets with all kinds of emotions, stopping for a moment to watch a street performer or take a delicious pie from a shouting vendor.

Soon Claude Dewar led the two to the branch of the association, a three-storey white building with a clean bronze plaque hanging on the façade of the first floor, which marked the ownership of the building. Walking through the door, the task board on the left clearly lists some of the current commissions, on the right is a long table with some documents piled up, presumably where Mr. Dewar works, and the rest of the hall is placed with some round dining tables and chairs, where the knights' small pastimes are carried out on weekdays, according to Dewar's introduction, there are six rooms on the second floor for mission planning and short rests, and on the third floor is a huge safety equipment that stores some important belongings of the knights. At the back of the whole building, there was even a hut for cooking, everything was so well organized, it was like a world of difference compared to the branch of Pearl City, no wonder the bald man had such a strange temper.

"Yo, elegant Mr. Dewar, how have you gained today?" At this time, there were already three or three knights sitting in the hall on the first floor chatting, and when they saw Dewar and the others entering the door, they greeted loudly.

"It's not bad, and by the way, I brought two newcomers. Dewar pointed to Bell and Garay, who had taken off his makeup at some point, revealing his true face, a clean, slightly bewitching young face, and the mustaches were real.

"Welcome, newcomer!" said the knights, raising their glasses in their hands.

"Hello seniors!" the two also greeted each other, showing what a newcomer should look like.

"Ah, I remember!" one of the knights stared at them for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed, "You are two of the would-be knights who beat Cassidy that day, right?"

He flipped through a pile of newspapers next to him, with a group photo of these people on the train that day.

"That's a picture taken by Focus Newspaper!" Bell and Garay said in unison.

"Yo, I can't tell you're still a celebrity!" quipped the knights.

Seeing that these knights are not difficult to get along, the two also settled down, originally they were still worried about whether these veterans would pretend to be posturing, in fact, these worries are a bit redundant, after all, aristocrats like Trump and others are still quite rare to come to become knights, and most of them are still civilians who do not have any background, so everyone still has a lot of resonance.

The two quickly mingled with the knights, and even learned from them that it was Mr. Dewar's bad taste to catch thieves with a different makeup every day. It is said that he used to be a very skilled thief, and every time he struck a crime, it was an unbelievable case. Later, for some reason, he ran to the Knight Guild and washed his hands after mixing positions, and now he is catching thieves everywhere because he thinks that the level of these people is too unartistic.

"It's really troublesome, do you have to slander me every time you see a newcomer, and think that the commission I give you is too high, right?"

Seeing him say this, everyone quickly shut their mouths in recognition.

"The materials are ready, you two, come here!" Dewar waved to Bell and Garay as he brewed a cup of tea.

The two of them hurriedly ran over, and were just about to start filling it out, when Dewar suddenly put his hand on the form, "I came here in the dust, I originally wanted to take care of your weak little heart, but I was so happy to talk to those bastards just now, I want to have some excitement, that guy in Pearl City, completely deceived you!"

"Lied?" the two were stunned, "what do you mean?"

"It means that the Knights can be registered in Pearl City, and you don't need to come here at all. Dewar took a sip of his tea and leaned back comfortably in his chair.

"This ...... Why lie to us?" Gare glared, apparently starting to get angry again.

"Because he's lazy," Dewar put it bluntly, "and there's no sweetness to get out of you." ”

"Sweet?" Bell asked seriously, "Do you want to be sweet for the Registered Knights?" Earlier, the candy made by our Perch Village is sweet in your mouth, and it is sweet in your heart!"

The knights next to him froze for a moment, and immediately laughed, "It's really funny for this kid to pretend to be stupid!"

"You're so flamboyant, some people are really angry when they see it!" Dewar chuckled, "The form for registering the Knights in the small towns in the eastern part of the kingdom is submitted here at the end of each month, and the time will be slower than if you came here directly." The registered knights also have to pay a part of the gold as a handling fee, and this figure is set by the contact person himself, and the so-called sweetness comes from this. But in the place where birds don't in Pearl City, there has been no knight order for several years, and besides, you two can't squeeze anything out of this poor and sour look, that guy can't make a special run for you at all, it's that simple!"

"Damn bald!" the flames burst out of Garay's eyes again, but now even Bell was infected.

"Don't be angry, although you are still young, you must abide by the rules of adulthood when entering the adult world!" Dewar continued, "Listen to me first, the Guild stipulates that there must be more than three knights to form a knighthood, which means that you must recruit one more knight before you can register. However, according to the latest rules, the members of the Knights do not necessarily have to be knights in the future, as long as the applicant has the consent of me and the head of the Knights, they can be directly recommended to the nearest academy to take the knight test, and after passing, they can join the Knights. So even if the bald man hadn't lied to you, you wouldn't have been able to form a Knights. But then again, you're a little less money now!" the words fell, and Dewar tossed them two money bags.

"What...... When did you take it?" The two of them were shocked, and the money bag on their bodies had already slipped into Dewar's hand unknowingly. They hurriedly opened it and checked it, but not a single gold coin was missing.

"So it's imperative that you start learning to make money, and as a liaison, I'm obligated to explain to you the rules of the Knight Guild. ”

"The rules of the guild?" Bell suddenly felt that the knightly path was not as easy as he had thought.

"Of course, do you think the Knight Guild is a playhouse?" The bewitching Mr. Dewar in front of him had completely put away his previous kind appearance.
