Chapter 43: The Metropolis
"Hah...... ......"In the middle of the night, a boy was running desperately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
His knees were already sore, his chest was like a heavy weight, and his breathing was a little weak, and he felt like he was about to explode, but he didn't dare to stop because there was a large group of people chasing after him.
"Catch him!" the men's roars were unusually clear in the night, constantly stimulating the boy's nerves.
Suddenly, he accidentally kicked an obstacle, and with garlic under his feet, he fell out hard.
"He's falling, rush up!" someone shouted.
"Oops, my foot is twisted!" the boy gritted his teeth as he looked at the approaching pursuers, stood up again, despite the pain, and limped forward.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard it tried, it didn't help, because of this episode, and the difference in speed, one hand was already on the verge of grabbing his collar.
Just then, a blazing fireball suddenly struck from the side, landing between the men and the boys, blocking their tracks.
"Flame Ball, Magician?" said one of them.
The boy looked back and immediately cried out, "Sister!"
A woman stopped behind him, her staff emitting bursts of red light, warning the pursuers, "You are not allowed to hurt my brother!"
"Sister, they ......"
"I know, listen to me first," the woman said softly, "there is a railway not far away, and there will be trains carrying goods passing by, so take the opportunity to jump on it and go to the nearest town to find the Knights' Guild!"
"What about you?"
"I'm here to stop them, you go!"
"No, I'm with you!" the boy was stubborn, unwilling to leave his sister alone to face these fierce enemies.
"There is no time, brave brother, the hope of our clan is in you!"
"But ......"
"Let's go!" the woman snorted, and with a wave of one hand, she shot several balls of fire.
"Ahh
"Yo! a magician?" I saw a woman dressed in silver slowly walk out of the crowd, tapping the same staff in her hand, "Me too!"
"Come on, then!" the woman's eyes were unusually determined.
"Sister......" The boy gritted his teeth and gurgled as he desperately held back from looking at the red light coming from behind him, knowing that his clan had reached the point of life and death, and all he could do now was to disappear into the darkness as soon as possible......
"It's so prosperous!! Bell sighed with starlight in his eyes. Garay, on the other hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to the contemptuous spectators that he had brought the exclamatory gentleman to the city of Gnora for treatment of mental illness.
The city of Gnorra, located in the southeast of the kingdom of Scania, is a seaport city in the southeast, because of its proximity to the sea, its trade is quite developed, and the port is full of ships loaded with goods almost every day, and because of this, the train station in the city is also the premier transportation hub of the kingdom. In the city, countless people shuttle through the train station every day, and from the air, it looks like ants crawling regularly in their nests. It is no exaggeration to say that the city of Gnora is the most prosperous metropolis in the kingdom outside of the national capital, Rosa.
At this time, Bell and Garay had just arrived at the train station, and although the former's reaction was exaggerated, he was indeed a hillbilly, and he had never seen such a world where even the station decoration was glittering with gold. Huge arcades are shrouded in several paintings by famous artists, while in the station, sculptures polished by skilled craftsmen are placed just right, and the seats in the waiting room are made of high leather. Although the crowd was bustling, almost all of them were well-dressed, and it was clear that this is what a metropolis should look like.
However, as knights, the sharp-eyed duo soon spotted a special group of people who walked aimlessly around the station with twinkling eyes, and even one person, whom Bell had looked at ten times, had already seen that these people's crumpled clothes hid lazy souls and greedy hearts, which could run into the bags of ladies and gentlemen's pockets along their sight.
"If I were a thief, there would really be wallets moving around here!" sighed Mr. Exclamation again.
"If they do it, I'll expose them!" Gary was disgusted by such behavior, "He looks quite healthy, so why do such a thing?"
At this moment, a fashionable gentleman walked into the station, he was wearing Cheng Liang's leather boots, dressed neatly and formally, his chest pocket revealed a half-clean handkerchief, a valuable top hat was worn at just the right angle on his head, and the umbrella in his hand was also lightly lit on the crystal clear marble floor, these details completely pulled the attention of the 'special group'.
Soon one of the men slowly paced behind the gentleman, and unwittingly took a purse out of his pocket, which he handed over to the other man, who also handed it over again, and after many times the purse was gone.
The gentleman seemed to know nothing, but Bell and Garay saw it clearly, and they immediately stepped forward and patted the gentleman on the shoulder.
"Two little brothers, is there anything wrong?" The gentleman turned around, looking a little surprised, and when he looked closely, he actually had feminine heavy makeup, and if it weren't for the two beards on his mouth, he really looked like a noblewoman's face.
"Hey, sir, your wallet has been stolen!" said Garay, gesturing to a man not far away.
"Oh, they stole it, did you see it?" the gentleman glanced at the man, and the latter's accomplices slowly gathered around them when they saw that something had been said to expose them.
"How can this little trick deceive our eyes, it seems that even in the metropolis, we can't relax at all!" Bell looked quite relaxed in the face of these thieves.
"Haha, I see, then I don't need to bother you!" the gentleman laughed, and then gently stroked the arms of Bell and Garay, and the two of them were taken aback at once, because they felt that the Yuan Power they had just exuded involuntarily retracted.
I saw that the gentleman gently pulled it with his left hand, and the lost wallet was actually pulled by him and returned to his own hand; what was even more amazing was that with it, all the people who had handled the gentleman's wallet just now seemed to be strung together by an invisible thread, and the helpers around were all put to the ground by the gentleman as a face.
"Wow! what kind of magic is this!" exclaimed Bell, amused.
"What a tough guy! Granola is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" said Garay, too.
"I've noticed those guys, but thank you!" the gentleman asked, handing over the hapless thieves to the arriving train guards, "What do you call the two little brothers?"
"His name is Blackbell, he's my friend Hapgaray, we just passed the knighthood test of Leiby Academy, and we're here to register as knights!"
The gentleman was slightly stunned, he didn't rush to report his name, but asked, "Leibi Academy?" is there in Pearl City, why did you come here?"
"Ah, we want to form a knight order, and that guy from Pearl City said that you can only come here!" Speaking of what happened to Pearl City, Garay was furious again.
The gentleman looked at the two of them carefully, and suddenly laughed and said, "It turns out that they are really two newcomers!"
At this time, the railway guard, who was busy tying up the thieves like hairy crabs, gave the two of them a strange look: "Knight, you don't know him?"
"You...... Who are you?" Bell and Gary asked quickly.
The gentleman put away his smile, took off his top hat, and saluted slightly, "It's the liaison officer of the Gnora branch of the Knights' Guild, Claude Dewar!"
