206-Chapter 5 A murder caused by a puppet


Chapter 5: A Muppet Causes Bloodshed
GG3
"Stop! What man!"
As soon as I approached the palace, the guard in charge of the gate shouted at me, pointing his spear at me.
d*mn it, do I look like a bad guy all by myself?
Though I am now clothed in black cloth and a black cloak, and my two short swords still hang from my waist, can't you see my pure eyes and my proper appearance!
Forget it, you guys don't understand even if I explain it to you, only a pure person like me wouldn't do something like attacking the palace, robbing the princess, killing the king, etc... Well, except for the last one.
"Good evening everyone, my name is Yuri Fili, I'm a mercenary from the Aether Empire, I passed by here and saw the mission that Her Highness posted in the mercenary guild, so I completed the mission."
I said as I took out the Muppet that the princess gave me.
"So take the princess's puppet and come over to collect your reward."
"Yes...yes."
That guard saw the rag doll in my hand and couldn't make up his mind at once. After looking at each other with the other guard, that mercenary said.
"I'll brief our foreman!"
The guard said so, and then turned around and walked into the city walls.
It's a waste of time to bother with a quick read when it's so easy to do so.
After a while, a man with a cloak on top of his armor and the guard came out, probably their captain.
One look at me, took out a bag of stuff directly from my pocket and walked up to me, reaching out and grabbing the Muppet in my hand.
I darted backwards, letting his hand grab the air.
"One thousand gold coins, that's what it says on the mission isn't it?"
I looked at the band thing and said.
"There's just a thousand silver coins there, right?"
"Huh? What bargaining power do lowly mercenaries have! Give me the Muppet and get the money! Or I'll arrest you as the one who stole the Princess Muppet!"
That captain said very arrogantly.
Idiot, I don't even want to remember your name with that level 10 rank of yours, you actually dare to be so arrogant, it really scares me~.
Those are clearly the two options hanging out in front of me~!
First, hand over the Muppet, take the prize money and walk away, and the rest of the job will be done for me even if I don't do it Princess.
Second, kill the guy, take the Muppet all the way in, and hand the Muppet over to the Princess.
I personally hate trouble and usually pick the first one. And if in the game also generally choose the first bar, choose the second feeling will be infinite brush mobs ah.
But what's playing now is exciting ah, this kind of dog's eyes look down on people, I can't not teach a lesson ah.
"So you're going to take away the doll and take it as your own credit, you scum."
"Ha! How dare you talk to me like that! You..."
"Hmm, don't forget that I still have the doll, oh."
I shook the doll in my hand and smiled.
"...and how much do you want!"
"One thousand gold coins is one hundred thousand silver coins, you actually gave me only one thousand silver coins and you want to get rid of me, the joke is too big, right?"
"All right, all right! It's always okay to give you ten thousand silver coins!"
"Looks like you can't count, a**h*le!"
I said very arrogantly.
"If you're given a doll, you're getting both a bonus and glory..."
"Er...d*mn! Twenty thousand! Twenty thousand is fine!"
"........"
"d*mn it! Don't you guys even know how hard we guards work and how easy it is to make some money!"
"Then you should just be your guards, since you want to take shortcuts, you have to pay the price."
"Count on you to be cruel! Here's fifty thousand, any more and it's gone!"
He tossed me what looked like a card, and I took a look at it, and it actually had the word bank written on it.
........
God, will it ever be good fun again! The banks are out! And it's still with a card, am I supposed to charge it up a bit and maybe get a black card?
And when I look at it, there's only a scan code on it, no name, is it still anonymous?
"Don't look! It's a card provided by the bank that recently opened in the King's Capital that can be used in high spending places!"
I don't know who's so great at popularizing card swiping in this world, but it seems like good economics, after all, the credit needed to make a card work instead of money isn't a little bit or two away from being able to do that.
"Hey! Okay?"
"Yes! Here you go."
I threw the Muppet over.
"Then... I'll see you later if it's fate~"
While the doll was still in mid-air, I flashed a Stalking Shadow to the far side of the move out tower.
This location was still one I had observed from the beginning, and I could get a good view of most of the capital and the entire palace.
And as for why I'm staying here, I'm waiting for the plot of course.
When I handed over the dolls, I also put a crystal with a recording function on the neck of the dolls.
Of course, I set it to "play after contact with girls under 20 years old".
Then I silently took out the fruit I had packed and ate it slowly.
"Don't blame me for being heartless~"
I said to myself as I ate.
"I've advised you to do your guards well...eh?"
And then, I saw that on the street below, a few guys with [Evil] in their titles were following the family, seemingly stalking them.
........
Just if you can and see it...why not help?
"Ah, just think of it as passing the time."
........
....................
..........................
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"There, just a hand up."
Seeing the look of that family thanking me, I responded politely.
And as I handed the guys over to the guard, the guard suddenly asked me.
"Excuse me, are you Yuri Fili?"
"Well? Yeah, what's up?"
"Ah, sure enough, you see, I was right! This Fili is definitely a good guy, the captain that tease himself to death before he went on a desperate path."
"Hey, I didn't expect that, although the captain is indeed a bit strange, he's not normally a bad guy. Just too greedy."
I interrupted as I watched the two guards chatting with each other.
"So, you guys are looking for me..."
"Oh yes, Her Highness is looking for you! Say for the sake of the Muppets, please come with us."
"Yeah, okay."
I nodded.
"Then hurry up and go."
