() Wood's figure slowly emerged from the corner next to the shop. He curled his lips and said to himself:
"If you can catch me, I won't be called Wood!"
When Wood entered the store, he had already thought of a way out, and he also imagined several possibilities. He had already guessed that the boss would cheat. After all, 200 gold coins is not a small amount! Among them, Wood's worst plan
It was the boss who used the crowd tactic to deal with him, but he was the only one in the shop, so Wood dared to take out a big knife to scare the shop boss. Obviously Wood succeeded.
Wood was not in a hurry to leave. He entered the alley and walked for a while. He came to a tailor shop. At this time, Wood had to change out of his outfit. The clothes Wood wore were worn in Lakeside Town. Although
It had been washed, but the pieces were damaged, making Wood look like a beggar.
After Wood entered the tailor shop, he chose a black dress, but this dress was relatively high-end, costing about one gold coin a piece. In this small town, this kind of dress was already the most expensive. If it had been before,
No matter how rich Wood was, he would not buy it even if he were killed because the clothes were too luxurious. However, the situation is different now. Wood is likely to be wanted by the Sheriff's Department for the crime of vagrancy and theft. If Wood changed his clothes, he would be
After dressing up, it's possible that even the grocer wouldn't recognize Wood as the boy just now.
The transaction for this piece of clothing went very smoothly, maybe because Wood took out the gold coins to show off first, or maybe because the store owner was an old woman, but in short, there was no trouble buying the clothes.
After Wood changed his clothes, his next destination was the animal pen. Because the hippogriff was more expensive, Wood had to dress up like a gentleman and buy the hippogriff in exchange for some silver coins. Otherwise, he would take the gold coins to the tavern.
, it is easy to be targeted by some unscrupulous people.
In the animal pen, Wood picked a pure black wildebeest, not because the wildebeest was good, but because it matched Wood's outfit. Wood now wanted to save face and look like an aristocrat without dressing up.
It's easy to be interrogated, so there's nothing we can do about it.
This wildebeest cost Wood another 7 gold coins and 50 silver coins, but Wood felt that the money was well spent. When he rode on the wildebeest, it seemed as if he had returned to the battlefield of Chinese horseback riding.
Wood's demeanor seemed to be a completely different person.
Wood rode the hippogriff directly and left the animal pen. When the owner of the animal pen saw Wood's high-spirited look, he kept sighing in his heart. This was another noble child from that family who came out to practice!
Wood galloped down the street with his horse whipped, and the pedestrians on the street gave way to Wood. Those who dared to do this in the Divine Grace Continent were either nobles or knights. These ordinary villagers did not dare to provoke such a person.
A domineering young man.
When Wood stopped at the tavern in the town, the waiter hurried over and said complimentarily:
"My lord, do you want to eat or rest?"
Wood turned over and got off the wildebeest with a clean and neat movement, which surprised everyone around him. Even the children of the noble families could not do such a pure horsemanship. At this time, some people speculated that Wood might be
A young man from a knight family.
Wood casually threw a silver coin to the clerk and said:
"Carry the box from the wildebeest inside and find me the best room."
This man who spends money lavishly looks like a nobleman. At this time, the villagers who saw Wood no longer had any doubts about his identity, and the waiter hurriedly said with a smile:
"okay!"
He then took off the box from the hippogriff, and then took Wood into the tavern. There were not many people in the tavern in the morning, only a few guys were cleaning. Wood finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there would be less trouble now.
trouble!
The guy took Wood directly to the second floor. After opening the door, Wood stepped in. The room was not very big but very clean, with a bed and a table. Wood had a satisfied smile on his face, and the guy said:
"Sir, this room costs 10 silver coins a day, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Wood placed a handful of silver coins on the table and said:
"You prepare some food for me and some water for me to take a bath. I will leave at noon after I have rested. The remaining silver coins will be rewarded to you."
The clerk hurriedly put down the box, stopped all the silver coins and counted them. When he learned that it was 40 silver coins, he was so happy! This business made more than he made in a month, how could he be unhappy?
!
After the tavern clerk thanked him repeatedly and left the room, Wood took a deep breath and finally got over it. He hurried to the window. At this time, Wood saw several people dressed as sheriffs passing through the tavern quickly. They seemed to be going to
At the entrance of the town, they probably wouldn't have guessed that after Wood changed his clothes, he took a swaggering stroll around the town.
The reward was given to work quickly. While Wood was observing the situation outside the window, the clerk came back. When he came back, he brought a lot of food, including fresh rice and wheat bread. These foods were not affordable for ordinary people.
Yes, it was obviously the first time for Wood to eat this kind of food, and he suddenly felt that it was great to be a rich man.
Just after he finished eating, the guy came in again. He poured buckets of boiling water into the bathtub. After he left, Wood began to wash up. Wood was originally a handsome man with a certain temperament.
He has a resolute look, but he has stayed in the mountains for three months before. Anyone who sees him will think he is a homeless man!
When Wood finished washing, he was really dressed up at this time. Not to mention his appearance and figure, his temperament and demeanor cannot be described in words. In a word, Wood said that he was a prince at this time. I'm afraid
These villagers will believe it.
Wood carried the box, sighed heavily, and said to himself:
"Success or failure depends on now!"
Then Wood turned around and went out. In fact, Wood's worry was not unnecessary. The first person who wanted to find him was a very powerful group of people in the Ice and Snow Empire. Although he was not sure, Wood always suspected that the other party would not let him go so easily. The second was
The Ice and Snow Empire Public Security Department, but Wood didn't know that it was the Ice and Snow Empire Public Security Department that was looking for him now.
After Wood's arrangement, it is estimated that the people from the Public Security Department will suspect that Wood has left this town. If Wood goes out now and passes the checkpoint, if he can maintain this noble arrogance, he may be able to pass smoothly.
, if the other party is determined not to let him go, he may fall into a trap this time, but Wood can't afford to wait here.
Wood left the tavern and galloped down the street with his horse whip raised. When he reached the bulletin board, Wood pulled the reins hard, and the wildebeest stopped after a long roar.
In the distance were the checkpoint and several sheriffs. At this time, they were looking at Wood with excited eyes, while Wood calmly looked at the announcement next to him:
According to a report from the Ice Empire Guards, a Magic Empire scout appeared near our village. This man is young but extremely sinister and cunning. He has stolen a large number of Empire secrets and gifts for His Majesty. If anyone finds out, please contact the Empire Public Security Department.
.
The following is the appearance of this man. Wood took a closer look and found that he did look a bit like himself, but no one would think of this man as the nobleman riding a horse.
There is another announcement next to this announcement:
According to the report from the owner of the material store in this village, this person stole thousands of gold coins from the material store last night. This reward is specially issued. If someone catches this person, all the gold coins he has will be rewarded to the bounty hunter.
Wood smiled arrogantly, and then looked at the inspection checkpoint not far away. Wood also saw the sheriffs looking at him. At this time, cold sweat began to break out on Wood's back, but he must control his mentality, as long as
As long as he acts like himself, he can get away with it. This is how Wood comforts himself.
Just after Wood curled his lips and smiled, he knocked hard on the hippogriff's belly with both feet, and then the hippogriff's figure quickly leapt out, and Wood also looked calm and composed, as if he didn't bother these sheriffs at all.
