Chapter 333: Getting Caught In The End

Is this your first time visiting the Noahs capital city? An old man with a top hat smiled and asked gently behind Delicious Wind Goose.

Delicious Wind Goose raised his eyebrows, put down the wooden crate in his hand, and politely bowed to the old man, Yes, old man. Is there anything I have done wrong?

After all, this was the capital.

He didnt know if this pa.s.serby was some sort of a big shot who came out for a stroll.

Youre surprised about this donation box, right? said the old man casually. He took out a silver coin and put it in habitually.

He picked up a newspaper next to him, flipped through it carefully, and replied casually, This is Noahs custom. After all, the Silver Sire is the Trade Deity, and He usually stays in Noah. Therefore, this place is considered under His watchful eyes.

No matter how arrogant these businessmen are, they have to be humble and polite when they come to this place. No one dares to make a fuss here. Everyone is well-disciplined. After all, Silver Sire will roam around when He is free, going shopping or buying something. Everyone believes that the store that the Silver Sire visited will have good fortune.

The Old Noahs have basically met Silver Sire once or twice. So they can recognize Him easily. However, the business people from other places cant recognize Him at the first moment. So it is better for them to be respectful to everyone. After all, the Silver Sire stays in this place, and his subordinate deities come back occasionally.

So, I see.

Delicious Wind Goose nodded.

So, its precisely because theyre running businesses that they have to be wary.

The bosses might not be religious, but they were more or less superst.i.tious. If they were to pa.s.s by and meet deities, they would pay their respect if they werent in a hurry.

As far as Delicious Wind Goose was concerned, Longjing Tea had a Buddha statue and an ancestral hall in his home, and his grandfather would pay tribute frequently.

Seeing how pious Longjing Tea could be, he could empathize with those businessmen.

Moreover, Silver Sire was a living deity controlling wealth in this city, who might appear anywhere and anytime. Sure enough, the people in business would follow the law and orders lest they irritate the deity.

The old man pointed to the newspaper rack and said, About forty years ago, newspapers were still sold for one silver coin each. The profit was also used to maintain the operation of the mission school. However, the pope of this generation is brilliant.

To cater to businessmen who want to flatter the church, but it isnt convenient to take their money blatantly, he installed donation boxes in the city.

The donation boxes placed in front of the newspapers are donated to mission schools; the donation boxes on the subway are donated to families facing difficulties; the donation boxes at the entrance of concert halls and theaters are used to raise orphans.

The Respectful Pope is a kind man. Delicious Wind Goose couldnt help but commentate.

Yes, indeed. The old man sighed and handed the newspaper to Delicious Wind Goose, Ive finished reading. Here, take the newspaper. After reading it, you may put it back or even take it away. I have already paid. The standard price is one silver coin.

The old man smiled kindly and pulled his top hat, Welcome to Noah, young man.

Delicious Wind Goose was stunned for a while, and the old man had already left.

He hurriedly shouted from behind, Thank you!

Then, he saw the old man wave his hand and leave swiftly.

Old Goose was surprised by this encounter.

This old mans legs are too quick. Could he be some sort of a big shot?

He shook his head, flipping through the newspaper while picking up the crate and walking forward.

En

, the second increase in the food tax within these ten years? The last time it happened was half a year ago. Is there going to be a war?

The wools price has risen for the third time. The latest clothing style of the fas.h.i.+on master

Oh

, its not ugly, but theres nothing special.

Hey

, why dont I find someone who learns fas.h.i.+on design to join this game?

The famous painter Nigel Elliott claims that the Paper Princess has recently arrived at the Noah Kingdom?

Huh

, the Paper Princess is a deity? Really, can the matter of the deities be written directly in the newspaper?

f.u.c.k

, the Paper Princess is so pretty! Im falling in love! Delicious Wind Goose couldnt help but exclaim.

The Paper Princess portrait was published in the newspaper, even though it was black and white. There was also a note below the drawing, Courtesy to Nigel Elliott.

The painters perspective was cast from the side.

He seemed to have summoned the Paper Princess, who frowned slightly and turned around in confusion. The painter even perfectly painted the clothes that were taut when the Paper Princess turned back.

The Paper Princess put Her right hand in her pocket while Her left hand held a pen inversely like a dagger.

She had a soft yet indifferent face that gave a sense of distance, light-colored long straight hair draped to the waist, two dragon horns protruding upward like lightning on the forehead, and the slender collarbone vaguely covered with dragon scales. Furthermore, She seemed like a 17 years old girl.

However, Her mature and indifferent temperament and Her voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t.s made Her look like a mature adult woman. She exuded the air of art due to the drawing board behind Her and the 17 pens of different kinds and sizes inserted into Her waist like a sword. At the same time, it made Her stand out.

Her vibe was different from how he first met Silver Sire.

Silver Sire looked more like a cheerful young man. Although He was handsome, He didnt stand out from the crowd. The Paper Princess was the type that could be noticed at a glance no matter how many people there were, and it was difficult to avert the gaze laid on Her.

Her beauty struck the heart. Whoever looking straight at Her would be mesmerized.

When the Delicious Wind Goose was carefully admiring the Paper Princesss portrait, he had already walked down a street and arrived at an intersection. Eight people were guarding this place.

He could already see the manor that was across the street.

This should be the Third Princes mansion.

Seeing Delicious Wind Goose pa.s.sing by, two people walked over immediately, and the remaining six people lowered the muzzle of their rifles slightly.

Did you make an appointment? One of them asked politely.

The two of them each held a jade plaque. The person who asked the question also had a booklet in his hand.

Delicious Wind Goose. The Old Goose paused and replied, My name is Delicious Wind Goose, from the Freezing Water Port. There should be an appointment.

But after the jade plaque flashed, the two looked at each other.

This gave Delicious Wind Goose a bad hunch.

Four of the six guards came over and pointed guns at him.

Please dont act rashly, sir. The person who asked was still polite.

But as the only security guard without firearms, he stepped back cautiously and continued, Our records show that you entered the city illegally and did not register properly when you entered the city.

Please go with them and temporarily stay in a safe room for three days. We will also temporarily detain your belongings and ask the professionals to test them. We will provide you with free food and hot water during this period.

If we confirm your innocence after checking you with the One-Eyed Crow, these items will be returned in full.

The security guard smiled gently, Please have faith in His Highness Philips credibility. We wont steal or check your personal belongings.

So, this is what is going to happen.

Delicious Wind Goose glanced at the guards silently, put down the crate silently, and turned to the right from the intersection under the close supervision of the four guards.

He noticed something from the guards tone.

Thus, I have made my delivery?

No wonder they put me down two blocks away.

They cant let me enter His Royal Highness Philips mansion and tarnish his reputation. So the goods would be handed over in this manner.

I should be careful.

But

Delicious Wind Goose narrowed his eyes slightly.

They didnt tell me such an important part but handed me the [Demon Blood], which will cause me trouble if Im found out.

Im still getting caught in the end

.

After that, Delicious Wind Goose was sent into a villa the size of a city lords residence.

But instead of letting him live in this villa, the officials continued to escort him down silently. But after entering the villa, the others were less polite. They confiscated his weapon. After taking off his coat, shoes, and curse vessel, they shoved him into the dungeon cell.

Shortly after the door was closed, a somewhat familiar person whom he had met not long ago walked in.

It was the middle-aged city guard captain whom the Old Goose saw at the capital citys entrance previously.

There was a long sword with a silver hilt and a scabbard at his waist.

We meet again, Delicious Wind Goose. The middle-aged man moved a stool over, sat outside the cell, and spoke slowly.

This middle-aged man with a beard asked the Old Goose calmly in a thick voice, You said, you are from Freezing Water Port, right? And your mayor is called Don Juan Geraint?

As Dexter Lowy said, the mans name was Klaus Ca.s.s. The Silver Rank Transcended, whom the Third Prince Philip sent over to infiltrate the city guards forces.

The real Don Juan Geraint used to be the guard captain.
