Chapter 109: Stupid Thief
Chapter 109: Stupid Thief
Turce sent the two human customers to the room and said, "My uncle has this character, don't mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
When the dwarven store manager woke up, he recognized that Carl was wearing the school uniform of the Arlin Academy, so he pulled Carl and talked for a long time.
The deputy dean on the other side of the Warrior Department - Carl only now knew that there was a second vice dean besides Herbert - and the store manager, who had been in a mercenary group, so the store manager was quite enthusiastic about the students of Arlin Academy.
Carl smiled and shook his head: "How can you mind, listening to the experience of the elders is the luck of our juniors." β
Alexia also nodded in agreement, the dwarf store manager is not simply talking about big truths, but will talk about some of his own experiences, and Alexia also listens to it with relish.
Turce was stunned for a moment: "If my uncle must be happy to hear this." β
"It's just that they always persuade us to drink more, which is not good. Karl spread his hands.
"Haha. The dwarf was also amused, "This is our dwarf custom, and to be able to drink is to be capable." β
After a few words of conversation, Tours left in a happy mood.
The superior rooms in Ashburg are still very good, although they are not as luxurious as the CΓ‘rdenas Grand Hotel, but they are simple and atmospheric.
Carl sat on his bed and rearranged his folder, he collected a lot of information every day, and every once in a while he had to sort through it.
There's still some time this afternoon, and I don't know if Alexia has any plans on her side.
As she was thinking, Alexia pushed open the door to Karl's room and walked in.
"I'm going to take a walk around the city, will you come with me or do it yourself?" asked Alexia.
This is Alexia's habit, every time she goes to a new place, she stays behind first, avoids danger, and the route she measures with her feet is always clearer than with her eyes.
"Nope. Carl refused, "I'm going to see if there's any house for sale here." β
"What are you buying a house for......" Alexia shook her head, "Forget it, I shouldn't have asked." β
Carl threw the book of information onto the bed: "Stop by and help me see where the auction will be." β
"Yes. Alexia walked out the door, "Notify me with the house badge if there's anything." β
Carl nodded and said, "Got it, you can call me if you have something." β
After Alexia left, Karl snapped his fingers, and the tossed books returned in a specific order, a small amount of them were put into Carl's folder, and most of them were sorted and packed.
Leave a small number of tool-based ones (such as maps) and put the rest away as your own knowledge reserve.
After going out and saying hello to the store manager, Carl also left the Ashoven Castle.
......
Alexia walked up the circular street, her crimson eyes reflecting the entire structure of the city, interlaced with intricate stone staircases and overpasses, standing on the first floor and looking down on the third floor of the Ashburgh, from her position there were more than ten roads to choose from, the widest and most obvious avenue took at least five minutes, but the shortest shortcut only took a minute. In the case of Alexia at full speed.
Multi-racial mixing increases cultural and economic exchanges, promotes prosperity, and breeds sin β but even purely human cities are full of darkness and filth beneath their glossy exteriors.
In the ten minutes that Alexia had observed the terrain, there were three thefts and a fight in sight, but there were no guards to deal with it.
Because the guards are also racial, if they are not handled well, it is easy to trigger a larger ethnic conflict, and the crime is so frequent, they can't control it.
Alexia raised her right hand and put it down, although it was her mission to punish sin, but before that, she still had to complete her own task, and it was not appropriate to make extraneous branches.
But......
Behind Alexia, two gnomes cowered in the corner and whispered.
"This human girl seems to be an outsider. Jindi whispered.
"Out-of-towners. Danber couldn't help but nod.
"We can go get a vote. β
"Get a vote. β
"If you steal something good, you won't go hungry for a few days. β
"Don't starve. β
"Can you please stop repeating my words. β
"My words. β
"Mad's retardation. β
"Retarded. β
β......β
Alexia was traveling in simple clothes today, carrying a small bag for shopping crossbody, her petite figure and the outfit of a white slip dress, she looked quite harmless, and she was a foreigner, so she was naturally targeted.
Following a trick from the Brotherhood of Thieves, Kindy first asks Danbo to hit the target to attract the other person's attention, and then takes advantage of the opportunity to empty his hand.
However, the plan was shattered before it could be implemented, and the dwarf, who was shorter than the dwarf, had just walked into Alexia's line of sight when he found that the other party was already staring at him, and as soon as he got close, he was held down by Alexia's first hand.
It is indeed held down, although the height of the girl is only one meter forty-two, but for a dwarf who is only at the height of a normal person's waist, it still has an overwhelming advantage.
When Jindi saw that his brother was caught, his brain rushed up: "Let go of my brother." β
Alexia lifted the second dwarf with her free left hand with a blank face.
"It's all your fault, Danber, we're going to jail again. Jindi, who was caught up in the air, said dejectedly.
"Squatting in prison. The first dwarf also drooped his head.
Alexia looked at these two stupid thieves and was quite speechless, this kind of intelligence still wants to commit crimes? Is this mocking those peers who have been targeted by their own family ancestors with all their might?
Alexia was extremely skeptical that the two gnomes had succeeded in committing even one crime.
"Why are you stealing?" Alexia put Gindy down, but still grabbed Damber.
As soon as Jindi landed, he wanted to slip away, but when he saw that his brother was still in the other party's hands, he just ran two steps and rubbed back little by little.
"We were hungry for days. The dwarf Jindi drooped his head, "If you really can't steal anything, you can only go to prison and eat prison food." β
"It's been days. Danber repeated.
It seems that life is also a last resort.
Alexia let Danber go: "Forget it, I won't pursue you." β
However, after walking a few steps, Alexia noticed that the two gnomes were still following her.
"What are you doing?" Alexia frowned at the two living treasures.
Although it looks cute and not scary at all, the two gnomes are still scared and hugging each other.
Jindi shuddered and said, "Steal again." β
"One, once. "This is Danber.
"Get me an honest job!" Alexia said angrily.
"I can't find a job, no one wants us. Jindi said in frustration.
Danber cowered beside Jindi: "We." β
Alexia took a deep breath and thought for a moment, "Well, I'll hire you to be my guide for the past few days, and pay you two gold coins." β
"Two, two gold coins!" Exclaimed Jindy.
Two gold coins were enough for him and Danbo to eat for more than ten days, and he didn't expect to get so much for stealing.
"This is a deposit, you go buy something to eat first. Alexia took a stack of silver coins from her bag and placed it in the gnome's hand, "I'll wait for you here, twenty minutes." β
"Thank you for your generosity!" Jindy bowed deeply to the girl and pulled Danbo towards the nearby food store.
In less than ten minutes, the two dwarfs ran back in a row, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Alexia still standing in place.
"Let's go. β
Alexia walked in front, two gnomes followed, and it was impossible to tell who was the guide.
"What's that?" Alexia pointed to a tall building.
The main body of the building is somewhat similar to the appearance of the Temple of Light, but the theme color is earthy yellow instead of white, and the patterns painted on it are very different.
"This is the temple of Mother Earth, and for the miners, believing in the Lord of the Earth is far more reliable than believing in the God of Light. Jindi explained.
"What about the church of the God of Light?"
"The light god is on the ground, in the aristocratic district, and thieves like us with a criminal record cannot set foot on it. The gnome whispered, "There is only the road on the ground that leads to the outside that allows us to walk. β
After walking for more than two hours, the two gnomes still did not feel tired, and the basic physical fitness of many subhuman races was higher than that of humans.
This is called the biological level, the innate level.
For example, the natural grade of human beings is black iron, that is, there is no rank, and although dwarfs are also unranked, their average physical fitness is still higher than that of humans.
An adult dwarf, even if he has not undergone any training, has a bronze median biological level, and a little training can stimulate his fighting spirit to advance to the bronze upper position, and the dwarves, a race born in the mine and grown up by the furnace, how can they lack exercise, so it is not an exaggeration to say that all the dwarves are professionals.
The Wingman is born with a higher rank than the Dwarf, and the adult Wingman is at the top of the bronze rank, and the spread wings can fly directly into the sky. There is a saying that the winged people are the product of the combination of angels and humans, and the appearance of the winged people is no less than that of the elves who are known for their handsomeness, so the winged people are also called half-angels in many places, but because of the scarcity of numbers, the overall social status is no different from the dwarves.
Alexia already knows almost everything she needs to know: "Do you know where the quarterly auction takes place?"
This is what Carl told her, and she can do it easily.
"In the aristocratic quarter, we are not very clear. Jindy replied.
"Hmm. Alexia thought about it for a moment, and she should be able to ask if she went to the noble district tomorrow.
It was already dark, and Alexia was about to return to the Ashfurnace Castle, when several human mercenaries surrounded her from several directions.
"I didn't expect to be able to see such a sign of the chick when I came back from the mission. A lewd mercenary with a mouth full of yellow teeth said.
"You just like the tune. Another mercenary scolded.
"It's not a problem to be small, just be able to play. The first mercenary laughed.
They had been following Alexia for a while, and the lonely girl, still an out-of-towner, was the most palatable target.
A hint of coldness flashed in Alexia's eyes, the group of mercenaries is too big, among them are heroes, mortals, and there are-
Scum!
Alexia drew a sword and didn't even need dual swords to deal with these guys.
A bunch of bronze.
"Yo, I still want to resist, yes, I like a tough girl like you the most, it's exciting to play. A hint of vigilance flashed across the mercenary's face at the lead.
However, Alexia's appearance is too deceptive, and she doesn't wear the armor that a normal professional would have.
It looks like a shelf.
Alexia was a little disappointed that the two gnomes had already run away from Alexia when they confronted the mercenaries, but she didn't expect much from it.
"Are you the first lady to go out for the first time?" a tall mercenary mocked, "Oh, you're so short, are you actually a dwarf too?"
It seemed to be an illusion, and after the tall mercenary said this, everyone present felt a cold wind drifting by.
"What are youβwhat are you talking about?" Alexia's voice pulled out a strange long note, and the man instantly appeared at the side of the tall mercenary, the hilt of his sword slamming into his abdomen.
There was only a dull sound, and the tall mercenary's eyes bulged out, his mouth was wide open but he couldn't say anything, and he fell to his knees weakly.
The extremely high speed even left an afterimage, Alexia walked with the sword, and the cold light was everywhere, or the tearing sound of a sharp weapon piercing the human body, or the muffled sound of a blunt weapon impact, and the surrounding mercenaries fell one by one.
A mercenary who was standing far away subconsciously took out his crossbow and aimed at the girl in the field, but before he could pull the trigger, Alexia picked up the long knife of a fallen mercenary with the sword in his hand, spun and flew over, the crossbow was instantly split in half, the knife was stuck in the stomach, and he fell down with a scream.
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the yellow tooth who took the lead, and he looked away, provoking people who couldn't be messed with, but he didn't dare to move at all, because he clearly felt that this crimson girl with two ponytails had been firmly locked on him.
Alexia cleaned everyone up and shook the sword so hard that blood flew out of the sword, leaving no trace behind.
In the midst of the moaning mercenaries, Alexia looked up at Yellowfang.
"Youβdon't come here!" Yellowfang shuddered and stepped back.
"Garbage. β
Alexia narrowed her eyes and retreated back to the spot in a flash, Yellow Fang's breastplate shattered in an instant, and the whole person was blasted into the wall and embedded in the wall.
"Stop!" a group of guards arrived just in time to see the girl smash the yellow fangs into the wall.
A chill ran in the guard captain's heart, what a strength this was.
Alexia saw Jindi and Danbo, who were sweating profusely, and it turned out that the two gnomes were not running away, but were calling for someone. A smile crossed the corner of the girl's mouth, and it seemed that she was still underestimating these two little guys.
"Need I explain?" Alexia's crimson eyes looked at the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard who was under the silver rank faced this little girl who looked to be only 12 years old, but he didn't have a sense of security at all, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, these guys must have taken the initiative to provoke you, can you tell me about your identity, I can also explain." β
"Imperial Capital Arlin College, Year 1, Alexia. The girl said expressionlessly.
A golden crown badge lay in the palm of the maiden's hand.
"Well, you can go. The captain of the guard hurriedly asked Alexia away, and at the same time beckoned his subordinates, "Arrest these guys, check if there are any records, and those who have committed crimes will be punished heavily." β
Alexia put away her love sword, nodded in satisfaction, and walked over to the two gnomes.
"You don't blame us. Jindi asked cautiously.
"No, I'm satisfied, it's your reward. Alexia bent down and placed a dozen gold coins into the gnarled palms of the gnomes.
"This ......" Jindi was stunned as he looked at the far more than he had thought of as a reward.
"You and your brother should learn a trade, not waste it. The girl straightened up and looked at the sunset, "The future is in your own hands." β
"Thank you so much!" said Jindi with a strong bow.
"Thank you!" said Danber, too, with a loud voice.
