Chapter 857: Local “Features”
"Boss! Let's send it! This kid looks so rich! Look at his bulging purse, there are at least five or six hundred gold coins." It was none other than the boy who was kneeling in front of Henry and begging just now. His eyes were full of greed at the moment, not like a child at all.
"Idiot! Didn't you see that there is a beast with him? It must be a druid or a ranger! This matter must be considered in the long run. I don't want to lose my life because of a trade." The guy called the boss whispered reprimanded. He is not an outsider, but the guard who just appeared out of nowhere.
Obviously, these two guys played a scene in front of Henry, just to test whether he was a real rich man.
It has to be said that the criminals in Calimport are countless times better than their counterparts in the north. It may be because of the serious corruption of the patrol guards, or because of the competition among the many thieves guilds in the city. Shadow Thief is even more cunning, and better at disguising himself.
The boy licked his chapped lips and suggested viciously: "Boss, do it! Let the little wild cat seduce that kid, I don't believe he also took that bear-like monster with him when he slept with a woman .”
"Shut up! Fatini is a rare commodity in the slums, and it will cost a lot of money to sell it for a few more years. If she sleeps with a man now, she won't be able to sell for a high price by then." The man in the guard's armor and costume slapped the boy on the head viciously, and then turned his gaze to a girl in a black veil behind him.
When he spoke, he looked confident and confident, without any scruples at all, as if he was talking about how much Chinese cabbage costs a catty, rather than human trafficking.
Different from the dirty clothes of other children around, the girl named Little Wildcat looks very clean, with a pair of beautiful big brown eyes. The fiery red long hair is slightly fluffy and draped over the shoulders. Although she looks only twelve or thirteen years old, her chest is slightly protruding, and she looks like she has begun to develop. She looks more like a noble lady in terms of dress and temperament. Not a liar and a criminal.
"Fatini! Are you sure you can handle that kid?" The man put his hand on the girl's shoulder and asked with a fierce look in his eyes.
The boy who had just been beaten rubbed his head, leaned over and shook his fist vigorously: "Just like before, try to steal his purse first. If you fail, seduce him to the old place, and then we will swarm up and grab it all." The treasure on him. Remember, try to get that damned bear away, or it will be very troublesome."
"I think... I can try it!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the girl named Fadini.
As a girl born in a slum, she knows why she is treated hundreds of times better than her peers, because she can confuse those outsiders with her beautiful appearance and bring a lot of income to the gang.
Of course, she also knows that once she loses her use value, there are only two ways to go, either becoming a gang leader or the concubine of the boss. Or be sold to slave traders.
Although it sounds a bit miserable, she is actually much happier than other children, at least she doesn't have to eat those rotten food. You don't have to be violated by those dirty bums at the age of ten or so, and the price you pay is just to sacrifice your luster.
"Very good! Try to be careful, and shout if you find something wrong. I believe that your attire will definitely attract a few "heroes" who will see you on the road." Said the man with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Hey! Then we can take the opportunity to treat those "heroes" to a drink, and take away all their belongings." The boy rubbed his nose and echoed with a smile.
"clear!"
Fadini nodded slightly, covered her face with a black veil, and then ran towards Henry with her head down. She disguised herself as a hurried noble girl with little effort.
at the same time. Henry was wandering around where the food was sold. He had just shared a piece of roast hump with Ares, and now he was tasting the fragrant roast leg of lamb.
As a standard foodie, the big brown bear is very satisfied at the moment, looking around with two round eyes, looking for the food he is interested in, this food street is basically the embodiment of the ultimate dream for him, he is happy to find it Not far north.
Watching the silly performance of my animal companion. Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and sighed in a low voice: "Perhaps this is the biggest difference between humans and animals. One is easy to satisfy, while the other can never satisfy his (desire) desire."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone hit him from behind. Immediately after, the waist relaxed a lot, due to the legendary sword master's keen sense of the body. He knew right away that someone had stolen his purse.
"Roar!"
Ares, who was enjoying the delicious food, held the unfinished leg of lamb in his mouth, slapped a thin figure to the ground with a slap, and then jumped up and stared at him viciously.
The passers-by around all looked sideways, especially when they saw that it was a beautiful girl who was thrown, many foreign adventurers showed that they were going to fight, and the local masters all put on a look of optimism. The expression of the play.
"Let... let me go! You monster! Otherwise, I'll call the guards!" Fatini shouted tremblingly. She didn't expect that after she succeeded, she would be pounced on by a wild beast, especially when she saw Ares' drooling bloody mouth, she was almost frightened into incontinence.
Henry didn't care about the various gazes around him, squatted down and put his hands directly into the girl's skirt, and pulled out a gray leather bag full of gold coins and a half-finger-long, thin bag from between her legs. And sharp blade.
"Don't rush to call the guards, beautiful lady, can you explain why my purse is on your body, and what is the purpose of this pocket knife?"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding local businessmen immediately burst into laughter, and some even clapped their hands and applauded loudly. They all knew that a blade like this one that could be inserted between two fingers had only one function, and that was to cut the rope that tied the money bag.
"Hahahaha! Well done young man!"
"These damned thieves should have their fingers cut off!"
"Release this damned brat to a slave!"
...
All of a sudden, all the obscene words came out one after another, and the foreign adventurers who originally planned to help quickly died down.
In fact, in Faerun, most cities treat thieves quite strictly. Cities dominated by kindness like Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City are better, but in Calimport, the punishment depends on the amount of theft, ranging from cutting off a few fingers to severed entire arms. It is extremely cruel.
But the law is the law, and even adventurers who have always liked to behave indiscriminately dare not easily violate it. After all, this is the capital of Calimshan. Those royal guards in white burqas are not free to eat. According to statistics, nearly half of them have studied over magic. Although pretty lame, it's good enough to deter mobs.
Fatini obviously didn't expect Henry to see where she hid things at a glance, and without any scruples, she directly put her hand into the skirt of the opposite sex.
You must know that many good-looking people would rather lose a large sum of money than make such a disrespectful behavior in public. It is precisely because of this that she can always get out of trouble, but this time it is obviously not possible.
Seeing that she couldn't get out, the girl immediately put on a pitiful appearance according to the original plan, and a mist appeared in her two big brown eyes: "First... sir! I'm sorry! I have no choice! Please let me go, I I am willing to use...another way to compensate you..."
"Oh? What compensation? Maybe I should hand you over to the guards directly. After all, petty theft is not a good habit." Henry asked with a playful smile.
Obviously, he was enjoying the feeling of being in a deception at the moment, and even wanted to see who planned all this as soon as possible. As a soul from Earth. He has never seen any kind of deception, and this kind of plot specifically targeting outsiders is too old-fashioned.
"Don't! Don't! I will have my arms cut off!" Fadini hurriedly grabbed Henry's hand and begged, and deliberately rubbed her chest up, pretending to be very shy . "Sir, I can give you some special services in places where no one is around..."
After hearing these words, a strange smile appeared on Henry's face, and he nodded without hesitation: "Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way. I can't wait to meet you." Special service" and hopefully it doesn't disappoint me too much."
Fatini tremblingly got up from the ground and shook the sand off her body. He glanced at Ares in fear, then bowed slightly: "Please follow me, I promise I won't let you down."
"Hey! Lucky boy from other places, enjoy yourself, don't let your legs go weak, remember to tell us about your feelings when you come back later!" A businessman laughed and joked.
"No problem, I don't think I can deal with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl." Henry deliberately ignored the hint in the businessman's words, and nodded with a smile.
soon. The two of them left the bustling market and walked towards the dark and dirty alley. Looking at their backs that were gradually going away, the businessman who spoke just now sighed suddenly: "Hey... a foreigner is going to be unlucky, and his body may be found in the ditch tomorrow morning."
"Ha! Don't be so pessimistic. Didn't you see that young man was carrying a strange bear? Fadini's group can't deal with such a big beast. Maybe this thorny rose in the slum will be killed soon Picked it off, do you think she will go into the meat (skin) business like other people in the future. We can patronize it at that time." Another businessman said wretchedly.
"You old pervert, didn't you buy a concubine at home two days ago? Didn't you get bored so quickly?"
"Hey! You still know me. Only stimulation and freshness are good medicines to keep men energetic, and the more you can't get them, the more itchy you will be. Don't you have such an experience?"
...
The two businessmen turned the topic to women as they talked. Like all men in this world, they hide a lustful heart under their glamorous appearance. (to be continued ~^~)
