Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 97 The Little Thief in Grai City

Back then, from starting from nothing to being in charge of one party, thousands of hardships and obstacles, and countless stormy waves experienced Leon's insightful eyes. He had too many smiles hiding the edge of the sword, and he was never afraid to use the worst side to guess people's hearts. 【】

Therefore, even though Viscount Mailer was very warm and polite on the surface, Leon was still able to see the unexplainable thing hidden behind his smile, and his instinct made Leon vigilant from the bottom of his heart.

Aklan's mind detection provided evidence from another angle.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was still daylight, Leon embarked on the journey to Grai City alone.

Before leaving, he performed some necessary disguises and transformed into a wandering single mercenary.

The first stop on the way to Gray City was Collingworth Castle. Leon followed a small caravan into the castle smoothly. He gave up the idea of ​​finding a guide, because it would not only be troublesome but also easily attract others' attention. Notice.

In a bar in Collingworth Castle, he bought a detailed map of the Southwest Province from a mercenary broker, and then left in a hurry.

It wasn't until he got out of Colinworth that the tight string in Leon's heart was finally loosened.

Gray was not very far from Collingworth Castle, and the horse galloped all the way. In the afternoon, Leon arrived at the majestic city shrouded in thin mist in the distance.

In the Beamon Kingdom, Ugru, the capital of the kingdom, represents the central core of the kingdom, Tormund City is the core of the southwestern province, and Grai City is the center of local power. This relationship is like a tree trunk to branch and then to the branches and leaves.

So Leon wanted to find a home for the Hammer Tribe within the jurisdiction of Grai City. He first needed to obtain the approval of Grai City, and then went up to Tormund City until Ugru.

Obtaining a territory is definitely not an easy task. Even with military exploits and titles in hand, it is not uncommon to wait a year or so to obtain the territory certificate in the style of the elders of the Senate of the Royal Capital.

It is precisely based on this understanding that Leon never thought that he would be able to get a piece of territory back by himself, which is not a realistic thing at all.

But first of all, he had to get the kingdom to officially recognize the Kuanghammer tribe, so as to obtain a main hunting area as a shelter, and then slowly plan for a formal territory.

In this way, the Kuanghammer tribe will not be easily suppressed by others.

Like many cities on the mainland, Grai City was built next to a river. The tributary of the Nucang River runs through most of the southwestern province and extends to the territory of Shengyao Province.

The convenient waterway has created the brilliance of Gelai City, and the prosperous commercial trade has become the economic pillar of this ancient city with a history of hundreds of years. The bustling piers on the river bank and the masts on the river do not illustrate this point.

There is no moat in Grai City, and the open gate warmly welcomes merchants, mercenaries, and even homeless people from south to north. People don't even need to pay a copper coin to enter the city.

The guard at the gate of the city told Leon that no one except nobles could ride horses in Grai, but he could deposit the horses in a special stable outside the city first, and the fee was not high.

"The streets are too congested at this time, and you will find it difficult to walk with a horse, and it will cause dissatisfaction among others." The guard reminded Leon kindly.

Doing as the Romans do, Leon had to take care of his wildebeest first, and walked into Grai City with his luggage on his back.

Sure enough, the guards didn't lie to him. The prosperity of Grai City is definitely not inferior to that of Farrier City. What's terrible is that its city size is quite different from that of Farrier City, and the main streets are not spacious.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. Signboards, large and small, are almost hanging in the middle of the street. Vendors and pedestrians go in and out to buy goods, and the more you go inside, the more crowded it is.

As winter passed and spring came, the vitality of this Beamon commercial city was definitely not inferior to any city on the mainland.

Crowded among the bustling crowd, Leon felt unreal. If he hadn't come here in person, it would be hard to imagine such an existence on the vast Hulun Grassland.

Suddenly, Leon noticed something strange.

Among the crowd, a slender little hand quietly reached for the animal skin pocket on his waist, and the movement was extremely fast.

But Leon's sense is so keen, even though the opponent's technique is more proficient, he still discovered it in advance.

It's just that Leon didn't move, but let the opponent's hand reach into his pocket.

"what!"

Accompanied by an uncontrollable cry of pain, the little hand retracted at a faster speed, and there was a bloody wound on the back of the hand.

This unlucky thief chose the wrong target. Leon's animal skin pocket tied around his waist was bulging, and what was contained in it was not gold and silver coins, but a second-level magical beast, the silver-threaded raccoon.

This hand with a purely unfamiliar smell stretched in. The golden squirrel would not be polite, and it had to give the intruder a hard blow.

Leon turned around for a while, grabbed it with his big hand like lightning, and picked up the thief who was stealing chicken and rice.

Thin figure wrapped in worn linen clothes, round head with disheveled black hair like a chicken coop, cheeks covered in black ash appear thin due to malnutrition, only a pair of big black eyes reveal a bit of cuteness .

But at this moment, her eyes were full of frightened eyes, struggling in vain with Leon's hand: "Let me go, let me go quickly, help!"

She was a cat-born thief who was only in her teens. Her furry ears and sharply constricted pupils showed her racial characteristics. She also tried to fight back with sharp nails.

It's a pity that the little claw scratched Leon's thick arm, and couldn't even scratch the skin.

No one responded to her call for help. Although there were pedestrians nearby, they all laughed when they arrived, or shook their heads with a trace of pity and walked away.

Everyone knew what was going on, and thieves were never welcome in any city.

After struggling to call for help, Catwoman's complexion completely collapsed immediately, big tears flowed from her eyes, and she begged pitifully: "Uncle, I know I was wrong, please let me go, I Never dare again!"

uncle?Am I that old?Leon couldn't help touching his nose, shook his head and put him down.

This is not to say that the other party's superb acting skills moved him, but that there is really no need to care about a child.

Seeing her, Leon couldn't help but think of Piccolo, the rat boy in Tormund City. The social status of these servants in Beamon City is really too low.

Stretching his hand into his bosom, Leon took out a few silver coins from the leather-lined pocket and put them into the opponent's small hand: "Go and apply some medicine to bandage the wound, and don't do such things again in the future."

If it was someone else with a bad temper, it would be easy for this little guy to be beaten to death after he was caught.

Holding the silver coin with Leon's body temperature in her hand, Catwoman couldn't help being stunned.

When she raised her head again, Leon's burly figure disappeared into the crowd.

Leon didn't go far, what made him feel very interesting was that when he stuffed the catwoman with the silver coin, the soul core was infused with a bit of divine power of faith. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to last more than ten days prayers.

There is no doubt that this is the beast god's reward for his behavior.

This is the interesting part. Fighting the enemy can be rewarded with divine power, and compassion for the weak can also be rewarded. Although the number of gains is different, it shows that as long as the daily code of conduct conforms to the spirit of the Beast God's belief, then it will definitely be get payback.

But Leon also knew in his heart that if he deliberately showed mercy, he might not get any reward at all, and the gods are definitely not easy to fool.

So he quickly put aside some thoughts in his heart, turned around and walked into a tavern on the side of the street.

From Collingworth Castle to Gray City, Leon hadn't eaten anything on the way, and now his stomach was rumbling in protest.

No matter how important the matter was, it had to be filled first, not to mention that Leon had arrived so early that he had no real idea of ​​how to achieve his goal.

After ordering a glass of ale, a plate of barbecue, and toasted bread, Leon was thinking about how to go to the upper level of Grai City and how much he would have to pay while eating dinner.

Of course, he was not unprepared when he came out to do business this time, and there would be no pressure on money.

It's just that you have to spend money to do things, and you have to avoid being coveted by others.

"Get out, get out! This is not the place for you!"

While Leon was thinking hard, there was a burst of yelling at the door of the tavern.

Leon turned his head involuntarily, and found that the little cat girl just shrank at the door and kept looking inside, and a tavern clerk was about to drive her away.

When she found Leon, she immediately raised her arms and laughed excitedly: "Uncle..."

At this moment, all eyes in the tavern were focused on Leon, and even the guy who was about to make a rough move stopped.

Leon couldn't help sighing, he waved at the guy and said, "Let her in!"

Catwoman proudly made a face from the tavern clerk, and rushed to Leon's wine table in three steps and two steps, and immediately put on a cute and pitiful look.

"Why are you following me?" Leon asked.

"I'm hungry..." Little Catwoman whispered while pinching the corner of her clothes, and secretly raised her eyes to look at the food on the table.

Didn't I give you money?Leon sighed again.

If it wasn't for the fact that she had given him a lot of power to believe in the gods, Leon really wouldn't be in the mood to pay attention to her.

"Dude, give me another serving of food!"
