Chapter 22: Cornered

"Eldest sister, where do you think I can hide gold coins on my body? I've never seen anything of it. I said distressedly.

"Aren't you on such good terms with the dog clan, the wolf clan, and the leopard clan? So you're a poor man, aren't you? Huan Huan laughed.

"It is precisely because of the good relationship that I don't spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, where did I get the gold coins? What do I need gold for? I said with a wry smile.

"It's good that I have three." Huanhuan proudly took out three gold coins from his waist bag.

I took a general look at the gold coin in Huanhuan's hand, I couldn't see the totem on it clearly, but the overall look was quite exquisite, this should be issued uniformly.

Unexpectedly, this time the Metaverse is not the wild land I imagined, but the problems between the major races are now a bit serious.

It is estimated that the so-called aristocratic administrators have not come down to the major races for a long time to inspect and mediate disputes.

Because looking at the degree of wear and tear of the gold coin in Huanhuan's hand, you can know that this currency should have been issued a long time ago.

I endured hunger and ran with Huanhuan on my back until dawn, from the beginning of talking about everything, to then Huanhuan dozed off directly on my back, and I was about to lose it.

"Wake up, look, isn't it there?" Fortunately, I didn't deviate from the direction.

"Huh? Where? Huanhuan opened her hazy sleepy eyes and asked weakly.

"Just ahead, there's a big city gate to the north." I explained.

"Yes, yes, let me go." Huanhuan said excitedly.

"You've been here?" I asked, surprised.

"Well, I came a long time ago, and a friend of mine was banished, and I sent her." Huan Huan said and looked into the distance, as if recalling a past.

"Let's go, I hope your friend is doing well." I smiled and put Huanhuan down.

"By the way, where's my white horse?" I suddenly remembered my BMW.

"I'm sorry, I could save you, but I couldn't." Huanhuan looked at me with a guilty face.

"Alas. It's all my fault.." If I hadn't been bewitched by the Queen, none of this would have happened.

It seems that I will have more eyes in the future, not all races are the same as the dog clan and the wolf clan, but they are all the same as Xiaohua and Yue.

"Rare guest? It's been a long time since we've been to the Elves. The guard at the gate looked at me with a smile.

"We're going into town." Huanhuan said without humility or arrogance.

"A gold coin." The guard said with a smile.

Actually, I almost couldn't help but ask the guard wolf clan how to get there, because one of the guards is the wolf clan.

Fortunately, Huanhuan pulled the corner of my clothes in time, it seems that I still lack some social experience.

"Take it." Huan Huan said and took out a gold coin and handed it over.

The guard took the gold coin, and Huanhuan pulled me into the city, but the guard had two big knives in front of us.

"What for?" I asked, holding back my anger.

"One gold coin per person." The guard said with a grin.

"You are..." Huan Huan swallowed back halfway through his words.

Actually, I guessed what she was trying to say, but here, reasoning doesn't seem to be very useful.

"Take it." Huanhuan puffed up another gold coin and handed it over.

"Please." Only then did the two guards put away their broadswords and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.

It's not that I didn't want to kill it, but now that we're almost cornered, if we become the target of public criticism, there really is no way to survive.

Besides, Villefranche is really big, and it's bigger than I ever imagined.

"Did you just want to ask for directions?" Huanhuan whispered.

"Sure enough, you guessed it, but I understood as soon as you dragged me." I said with an embarrassed smile.

"Everyone has been exiled, if you still expose other people's scars, we don't even think we can enter the city, there are people of all major races in this city, don't talk nonsense, here, no one is an adult, here, all beings are equal." Huan Huan cautiously explained.

"Okay, I got it." I nodded earnestly.

She didn't have a problem saying that, and now I'm worried about people seeing that I'm not an elf.

"Let's find a place to live first, and then we'll slowly inquire about my friend's whereabouts." Huanhuan said.

Actually, I think so too, after all, I can't stand the stares cast around me.

It is estimated that this combination of elves and cats is not common here, or has never appeared at all.

"How long has this Liberty City been? Why is it so large-scale and so prosperous, before I came, I thought it was a wild place. I asked in a low voice, frowning.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that they are all deported and exiled people, and I always thought that this place was a refugee camp in my mind.

Unexpectedly, what I saw in front of me was a very complete city-state, even several times larger than the dog village, and there were all kinds of buildings in it, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were very beautiful.

Although many of the buildings look old, it is not difficult to see the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

"It's said that there are all kinds of races here, so naturally it is a collection of people's strengths, and this place has a history of hundreds of years." Huan Huan said and led me into an alley.

"Where is this going?" I asked.

"Didn't you see the sign? There are taverns and accommodation here. Huanhuan said.

"I don't know your words." I whispered.

"Oh, I forgot." Huanhuan said and walked forward quickly.

"Two, stay in the hotel?" The owner of the shop, a dog family, looked at us with a smile when he saw us enter.

"Hmm." I nodded calmly.

After all, I am still relatively familiar with the dog clan, looking at the style of the inn, it is also similar to the dog village, in front of the dog clan, I am still relatively confident.

"How long are you going to stay?" The shopkeeper still laughed.

It's just that this kind of laughter is different from the dog people I came into contact with, and this guy's laughter makes you panic.

"Let's talk about how to charge first." I couldn't help but ask.

I still forgot Huanhuan's explanation, no, Huanhuan turned his head and gave me a roll of his eyes.

"Oh, we're notoriously safe in the city, and we only need one gold coin for three days." The shopkeeper's eyes jumped and he said with a smile.

"Hmph, let's go, let's go somewhere else." After Huanhuan finished speaking, I picked me up and left.

"Am I saying the wrong thing?" Out the door, I asked guiltily.

"Come up and ask how to charge, people must know that you are new, who will you kill if you don't kill you?" Huanhuan smiled bitterly.

"Then I still won't speak." I said with an embarrassed smile.

Under the leadership of Huanhuan, we changed to an inn, and the owner of the inn is still a dog family, but it looks much more pleasing to the eye than the previous owner.

At least he didn't have that kind of slaughtering smile on his face.

I guess it has something to do with the furnishings in the store, this store does not look as luxurious as the previous store, and it is relatively old.

Huanhuan stood in front of the counter, and didn't talk to the shopkeeper, just looked at the signs on the wall behind the shopkeeper.

He shook his head and frowned.

That's right, since it's an inn, it's not the same as our earth, there must be a price code, and the signs behind the owner are written on it, which is estimated to be the cost of staying in the hotel.

"Two, today we have a discount, one gold coin to live for ten days." The shopkeeper said politely.

"It's still too expensive, let's go see other ones." Huanhuan said that he was about to leave.

"Three silver coins for five days." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said.

"Serve food?" Huan Huan frowned and asked impatiently.

"Three meals a day." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Okay then." Huan Huan said and took out the last gold coin and threw it on the counter.

"Thank you, thank you." The shopkeeper picked up the gold coin and looked at it carefully, and hurriedly thanked him.

After confirming the authenticity of the gold coins, the shopkeeper lowered his head with a smile and took out seven silver coins and handed them to Huanhuan.

It turns out that there are still silver coins, and it seems that I really don't speak well.

Huanhuan took the key handed by the shopkeeper and pulled me towards the upstairs.

Although this inn is a little old, at least it is still clean, and the facilities in the room are quite complete.

It was nothing more than a dining table, two wooden chairs, no water and electricity, but two wooden basins in the corner.

But here's the problem, there is only one bed in this room.

It is estimated that Huanhuan also takes into account our limited funds, and I don't know how long we will stay here.

I'm even more uncertain if I can find her friend, there are still seven silver coins left, and five days, judging from the cost of staying in the hotel, the consumption level here should not be low.

What's more, we still have to inquire about the news, and this news is probably not free.
