The long fairy road is wonderful

788 5 minutes
Water Capital, 11:57 a.m.

Leonie, who had just rushed all the way back, had to set foot on the street again with her colleagues.

Although Leoni looked more like a miscellaneous soldier, at most the captain of a miscellaneous soldier, in terms of dress and behavior, but in fact Leoni was one of the nobles of the water capital.

The city of water has superpowers, which is a unique advantage. If you want to survive in a world full of dangers, you cannot give up this advantage.

However, exercising superpowers is not as dangerous as learning magic or practicing martial arts, and each person's superpowers are different. It is difficult to apply the training experience of the predecessors directly to oneself, which further increases the training The risk of superpowers.

In order to increase enthusiasm, the city of water will give the ability rating of level 4 and above to those who enter the army with the title of nobility, enjoying a superior life and various privileges.

This kind of nobility is not hereditary. If there are no heirs in the family who meet the standards, all the privileges of the nobility will be withdrawn. Therefore, as long as there is a regular army in the capital of water, there will be one or two nobles who are similar to the knight class.

The same is true for Leonie. Her mother is a level 5 esper, but she died to cover the retreat of the troops during a mission. The family members in Yucheng will also have all their privileges taken back, so if she wants to keep her life, she can only find a man who is also a nobleman to marry.

Speaking of marriage, what Leonie dissatisfied with her mother the most was her picky eyes on men.

In Leonie's mind, the late mother was simply a perfect superman, resolute, brave, indomitable, yet gentle and generous at the same time, and her colleagues praised her well.

But such a perfect person found a very bad husband.

Hubert is timid and cowardly by nature, and he always looks submissive to anyone he talks to.

Although Hubert was Leonie's biological father, Leonie looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, thinking that finding such a husband was the only stain in her mother's life.

However, the only shining point of this dear father should be that he is extremely sincere in his feelings.

Several years have passed since his mother passed away, and his father, Hubert, has never planned to remarry. He visits the cemetery on time every week, and every year he goes to the next city to buy his wife's favorite cracked stone flowers.

This is a plant that likes drought, so it cannot be grown in the water capital.

The small white flowers are not beautiful, and the floral fragrance is relatively light. They are often used as decorations in the bouquet, and they are never used as the finale like roses.

But the flower language of the Cracking Stone Flower is "go forward bravely". It is named Cracking Stone because even if the seed is pressed down by a boulder, it can tear it to open a way of life.

Not long ago, Leonie used up her only annual leave to accompany her father to a nearby city to buy flowers with a few colleagues, and discuss business matters by the way.

Forget it, after all, it happens every year, and the unfortunate thing is that there was a mudslide on the way back, and the road was blocked and had to make a big detour. The annual leave, which was more than enough, was obviously not enough.

What was even more unlucky was that they were about to enter the city, but they also ran into robbers. Although the gangsters had a funny style of painting, the horses were frightened by it, and everyone had to run after the carriage like tired dogs.

No wonder Leonie felt unlucky recently.

When I returned to the city and reported to the barracks, I was about to come out again before my butt was warmed up.

The reason is those very funny robbers.

They were originally a few gangsters in the city, and they were the kind who couldn't do well among the gangsters. The idea of ​​robbing and doing one vote, I heard from them that they drank too much at night...

Since it is a first-time offender and there are no serious consequences, the ruling will commute the sentence as appropriate, and let them do volunteer work for half a year.

Leoni is now in charge of leading the people to escort these funny robbers to the prison, and she will not be in charge of the rest.

From the bottom of her heart, Leonie couldn't even look down on these people.The city of water is a city full of opportunities, especially the local residents. As long as they work hard, they can get the opportunity to climb up. Today's Leonie would certainly look down on her.

In the past six months, they may go to mines, or work on farms or pastures outside the city, or even work as free porters at the wharf.

The prison is on the edge of Mouse Lane, which is for convenience.

People in places like Mouse Alley can be thrown in without anyone being wronged, and they can be sent in as soon as they are caught.Moreover, the prison is very close to the underground entrance near the Dragon Attack Monument, which is also convenient for prisoners to enter and work.

What puzzles Leonie the most is why places like Mouse Lane still exist. Although there are six large gangs suppressing a bunch of small gangs below and nothing has happened, they are still the capital of water. cancer in.If one day the higher-ups ordered the eradication of Mouse Lane, she would definitely be at the forefront.

Leoni felt that she was very unlucky recently, and the robbers she escorted felt even more unlucky.

They are now tied in a string with ropes, and each one is as wilted as your frosted eggplants, especially passing by on the street, it is simply a public execution.

——It takes a lot of face to be funny...

"Boss, boss, when, are you waiting for dinner?"

"Brother, I'm hungry too."

"You two foodies, can't you take a look at the situation? How can we think about eating now?"

"But, but I'm hungry, too."

"I heard that prison food is not good. Brother, have you ever eaten?"

"..."

These two idiot brothers really hurt...

Although these people were born in Mouse Lane, they are not the kind of real bad guys. They belong to the guys who want to be bad but fail, and they don't even want gangsters.

Impulsive after drinking some wine, he dragged his brothers to rob. As a result, these teasers didn't dare to go to the main business road, but went to the mountain road that few people walked...

If it wasn't for meeting Leoni and the others who took a detour, none of them would have been able to open their doors.

It can be said that all bad luck went together.

"Don't just think about eating. When we enter the prison, if we perform well, we may be able to win a commutation of sentence and be released early. At that time, our brothers will make a big deal."

"Still, still doing?"

"I have planned everything, just listen to me."

While talking, "Big Brother" stepped on a broken brick in the middle of the road, probably someone used it to knock the door, and almost stumbled him.

He wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of his brother's door, but he almost failed and fell to the ground. The 'big brother' became angry and kicked the bricks away to understand his anger.

——Then tears of pain almost flowed out.

The behavior of using your toes to compare the hardness of a brick is really stupid...

However, the brick flew to the passing carriage on the other side of the road, making a bang sound, as if it had hit something metal.

At the same time, there was a loud cry, like that of a falcon, accompanied by a strong impact sound, as if a living thing in the carriage was hitting the cage.

This caught the attention of Leonie who was escorting a few people. She walked towards the carriage and asked the driver casually:

"What's in your car?"

"Nothing, just a few peregrine falcons."

"Peregrine? You look into my eyes, what is it again?"

Seeing that the coachman's expression was a little strange, Leonie judged from experience that there was something wrong with him.

A guilty conscience can be covered up with acting skills, but the movement of the eyes cannot be fooled by an experienced old policeman. Some experienced policemen patrol the streets to know who has a problem with just a glance.

Leonie has been in the army for several years, and has done a lot of job patrolling the streets. Although she is not absolutely experienced, she is not a rookie who knows everything.

This street is adjacent to Rat Alley, and patrolling the streets here often sees some things that are not very legal.

"It's really just a few peregrine falcons, Miss Officer. A customer ordered them. I managed to catch them through my hunter friend, and I'm about to send them to the guests."

"Hmph, open your compartment, I want to check."

The peregrine falcon, a raptor, is indeed distributed near the water capital, and it is one of the important habitats. Many people who like the shape of the peregrine falcon will come to the water capital to buy.

But the peregrine falcon's cry was sharp and slightly hoarse, and the movement just now didn't look like a peregrine falcon.

If the coachman lied, it meant that the contents of his compartment must be illegal. As a guard, Leoni certainly had the right to ask the coachman to open the compartment for inspection.

"Okay, okay, Miss Officer, I will listen to you."

As he said that, the coachman raised one foot, as if he was going to get off the car.Immediately afterwards, the raised foot kicked Leonie on her breastplate while she was not paying attention, and directly kicked her back half a step.

Immediately, the coachman yanked the horse that pulled the cart hard, and wanted to run away at that time.

But the wheels stopped moving after less than half a turn. The wooden carriage creaked as if it was about to break. The horse pulling the carriage seemed to be striding forward, The carriage that can be easily pulled seems to be extremely heavy at this moment, and it does not move at all. No matter how much the coachman urges, there is no way to run.

"Assaulting guards and transporting illegal items. It seems that you are an outsider, and you may not know the rules of Water City. These two crimes alone are enough for you to go to prison for several years."

Leonie took out a rag to wipe off the shoe prints on the armor, and a strange sphere appeared beside her like a shadow.

It looked a lot like the moon, but it was dotted with bright blue dots that blinked like stars.

The coachman hurriedly jumped out of the car and fled, but just like the carriage, he fell down with a bang within two steps, as if he was pressed to the ground by an invisible force and could not move.

"It's impossible to escape my ability 'Quiet Moon', please be honest."

The coachman couldn't even move a finger, the invisible pressure seemed to squeeze the air out of his lungs, and his face was flushed red.

Seeing this scene, the escorts shrank their heads, and it's not unacceptable to be ripped off the horse and hurt their buttocks...

And at this moment, there was a creaking sound of metal twisting and deformation from the unrestricted carriage, and a weird big bird flew into the sky with a cage tearing the covering of the carriage.

"Hunting vulture?"

Leonie recognized the strange bird that got out of the carriage at a glance.

At first I thought it was smuggling, but now the nature is different. Bringing a dangerous creature like a vulture into the city is equivalent to committing a crime of endangering public order.

"Silent Moon!"

Holding the handle of the knife, an invisible thing like a stand replaced the normal blade and was pulled out by Leonie.

The vulture seemed to feel a threat, it croaked and flapped its wings, just exceeding the maximum range of 5 meters in the quiet moon.

Staring at the falcon flying away, Leonie cursed secretly.

"Come and catch him, I'll call a helper with long-range ability."

If the falcon doesn't deal with it as soon as possible, if someone is injured, it will be the guard's negligence.
