Section 5 Road Encounter

After thinking about it for a while, Ashruphat felt that he had to go to the elder of the Griffin family first. This is because to become a queen's guard, you must go through all kinds of red tape procedures. Steps such as background checks, identity checks, aptitude tests, equipment collection, and so on are essential. Of course, Aunt Mary assured that all these formalities were formalities, but it took time to go through the motions. For example, if Ashorufat reports for duty this afternoon, it is impossible for him to take up his post tomorrow, but on the contrary, I am afraid that even the next step, identity confirmation, may have to wait for three to five days.

Then again, the work of the Queen's personal bodyguard is really a lucrative business. After only one year of service, he can become a real knight and receive a salary from the state. It is well known that there are very few knights in the Central Seven who have actual fiefs (at least a baron or above if they want to own a fief), and instead receive a fixed amount of money in the government. Although Ashrufat didn't care about such a salary, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was a rare opportunity. Aunt Mary also stressed that this position could not be waited for him too long, and if it was too late, it could fall into the hands of someone else, and then it would definitely take a lot of work. Based on this, reporting early is still a better choice.

Outside the inn, there are a few vendors selling simple maps of Eagle Castle. Ashruphat exchanged a small silver coin for one of the most detailed and expensive maps, looking as he went.

It didn't take him much effort to find the post on the map where he had arrived, and then to find the location of the palace. Although the falcon city is a very irregular city, it is only the outer shape. The interior is still quite organized, the palace is in the very center of the city, and it is indeed a bit difficult to find a certain household on the map, but it is really not a matter to find the main entrance of the palace. In terms of location, the inn was actually located exactly the block behind the palace. In other words, all Ashruphat had to do was walk half a circle around the palace and through a long street to find the main entrance. Although I don't know exactly where to report to Ludao, it shouldn't be a problem to ask for directions.

And that's what he did.

There seems to be something wrong with this street, though. As soon as you walk in, you can see all kinds of colorful women on the side of the road. Of course, this is not surprising, there is no shortage of prostitutes anywhere. But as he followed, Ashruphat clearly noticed that there were more and more women dressed up on both sides of the road—they stood on the side of the road in twos and threes, and greeted thousands of passers-by when they saw them.

"Oops, dear, why haven't you been here for a long time. "A woman wrapped up a man in a gown on the side of the road. She completely ignored the eyes of other passers-by, and her intimate attitude could give people goosebumps.

"Oh, my wife is strict......

"Leave my wife alone, since you're here, let's have some fun. We've got a new kind of amber wine here......"

Then the two of them pulled and pulled and walked into a nearby store.

It turns out that this is ...... The Red Light District?Eshurufat quickened his pace and looked around. His judgment was fully confirmed, and the pedestrians on the street, whether passers-by or street standers, were almost all men. On the contrary, all the people standing on the street were women.

And, as Ashrufat continued to advance, he began to notice that the men standing in the street also appeared. At least he had just seen a man dressed in a woman's clothes with a beard on his face.

Sure enough, it's Wangcheng, and there are some types of people. He sighed inwardly as he quickened his pace further.

Fortunately, Ashrufaat's outfit at the moment was all very ordinary travel clothes, and he didn't look like a rich man no matter how he looked at it. In addition, since he hadn't been cleaned after a long journey, he now looks dusty, with his hair disheveled, and his coat and pants a bit dirty. In addition, Ashrufat's style of dressing is also the kind of outsider who can be seen at a glance. Probably because of this, although he passed by this flower willow street, few women who provoked the benefactor stopped him.

Just when he wanted to leave as soon as possible, he found that there was a commotion in the crowd in front of him. People gathered in a group, blocking the entire road.

In the middle of the street, a young woman with light makeup fell to the ground. Standing in front of her were two tall men, one of whom had his back to Ashrufat, so that he could not see his face, but he had a white cane in his hand. The other was a bald, middle-aged man with a fleshy face, wearing an out-of-season sleeveless leather jacket that exposed muscular knotted arms and a striking tattoo on the arm. His expression, look, posture, and even his whole body all exuded a tyrannical aura.

"Oh, what's going on?" Ashruphat heard two people whispering to each other not far away. Judging by the dress, these two should be natives of Eagle Falcon City.

"It's the people who came to 'Flower Street' to find trouble again. Seeing the tattoos on their bodies, they look like the 'Crazy Horses'. ”

"The Crazy Horses, like a new gang...... By the way, what just happened?"

"They said the girl hit them...... In fact, this is just a provocation from them coming to Flower Street. Whether there is something wrong or not, they will always find an excuse. This time this girl is probably going to be unlucky. ”

"The Crazy Horse Gang is really bold, and they dare to come to Flower Street to find trouble. It's probably a new gang, so I don't know how powerful the Scarlet Rose is. ”

The two men said so. Ashrufat didn't understand much, but he at least understood that it was a local hooligan stirring up.

"Hey, what good things have you done!" the bald head crossed his arms and questioned the girl who fell to the ground in a very rough manner. "You just deliberately bumped into it like this?!"

"Ahhh......h I'm sorry......" The girl apologized softly. In fact, a fool can see that even if two people collide, it is this girl who suffers. But the problem is that these two hooligans are here specifically to find trouble.

"Hey, my clothes are stained with your lipstick. It was the man with the black cane who spoke. "It's a very high-end dress. It's not like saying I'm sorry, how are you going to compensate me this time?"

"This ......" girl was visibly a little scared. The two hooligans had originally come to find trouble, and the people around them also knew this, so no one dared to come forward and say a fair word. "This ...... So be it. As compensation for soiled clothes, you might as well come to my shop and I will give you a special service. ”

"Free?"

"This ...... This one...... Because...... It's also work, so it's ...... too."

"Humph!" the black cane spat out. "Lao Tzu doesn't have this idle time. Okay, spread your legs apart, stick my cane in, and I'll forgive you this time. ”

"That's it...... Only...... Right here?"

"Nonsense! No, where is it?" the black cane threw his staff to the girl's side. "Plug it in yourself. ”

"This ...... This one...... It's just too thick...... Also...... Too...... It's embarrassing......"

"Why, aren't women like you the best at this?" said Black Cane in a contemptuous voice. "Plug it in for me, do you hear that?"

"Hey, it's too much!" a voice suddenly sounded behind the two rascals. "She didn't do anything at all, you were the ones who hit her! And your dress is also a big road goods, and it is sold in the coat shop in the south of the city, a set of ten silver coins. ”

Everyone, including the two hooligans, couldn't help but turn their gaze to the speaker. After seeing clearly who was speaking, the two hooligans couldn't help but be annoyed. Because the person who spoke was a little girl who was only about ten years old.

This little girl has long black hair, wears a black and white dress of unknown texture, and wears a light red fur coat, and stands at the front of the crowd.

"What!" the black cane let out a sinister grin. "I thought there wasn't any good food on this prostitute street. But it still looks like there's a good type. He walked forward quickly, and the crowd parted one after another, not daring to stand in the way. The black cane grabbed the little girl's shoulder.

"None...... Not...... Rude!" The little girl wanted to struggle, but it was completely impossible for her to compete with the other party, and she was caught.

"Ah...... Pain...... Stand down, rude...... Yes...... Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, but the women on this street are all the way. Hehe," the black cane licked his lips with his tongue out in disgust. "Looks like you're still a chick. Since you're meddling, I'll be generous and allow you to use your body to pay for the laundry. ”

He stretched out his hands and wanted to peel off the little girl's clothes, but unexpectedly, the clothes were so strong that he couldn't tear them off.

"Ah...... Rude!" The black cane was pinched very hard, so it made the little girl exhale with a headache.

"Wait. A hand rested on the shoulder of the black cane. The black cane turned around and saw a young man dressed in foreign clothes standing behind him, dusty and carrying a common travel bag.

"Are you here to meddle?" said the other party, who was alone, and the black cane immediately shouted in a very arrogant tone. At this moment, his eyes flickered, and the other party grabbed his chin and pulled hard.

The jaw of the black cane was immediately removed. His whole mouth opened unnaturally, and he wanted to close but couldn't. The sharp pain caused him to let out a strange "ho-ho" sound, pointing at the outsider, but he couldn't move.

"You're looking for death, boy!" rushed up bald. However, the other party avoided his fist, and instead took the opportunity to grab his shirt, lifted his entire body with one hand, and then threw it at the black cane standing aside and holding his chin. The force of this collision was very large, and the two of them flew out of the gang together. The bald head hit a step on the side of the street and immediately stopped moving. The situation was even worse with the black cane removed, and he was hit so hard that he lay on his back on the road, his eyes rolling and his mouth foaming.

It turns out that there is only this grade. Ashrufat looked at the two hooligans who had lost consciousness, and only with this level of strength could they provoke trouble? In such a place, there must be some gang controlling the situation, and even if Ashrufat doesn't make a move, this boss will react quickly.

Just as it took a moment for Ashrufat to make sure that the two rascals were not playing dead, the girl walked up to her.

"Thank you, sir. She bowed her head and thanked Ashrufat.

"Nothing. Ashrufat replied. Looks like the matter is settled, and it's time for him to leave......

There was a commotion in the crowd. Ashrufat noticed that five or six people had squeezed through the crowd. The leader was a young woman no more than twenty-five years old. The other four were all men, each with a stick in their hands, and if you looked closely, you could see that they had other weapons hidden on them.

The woman looked familiar.
