Summon civilian system

Chapter 17 Fighting at the City Gate
Hearing what the third steward said, Li Lin had a better understanding of his money-grubbing character.

Because of the delay of the third steward, it was already dark at the gate of the city, but the gate was still open, which happened to be the time when the gate guards changed their shift.

"Pay the city fee."

Seeing that the third steward had already paid the money, Li Lin stood behind him and asked, "Isn't there no entry fee?"

The third steward whispered, "I'll explain to you later."

The two of them didn't go far when they heard a voice from behind.

"Wait a moment."

Li Lin and the third steward turned their heads to look at the captain of the gate guard.

The captain thought to himself: "I only have a few copper coins and I want to get in. I won't let you bleed today. My name is written backwards."

The captain was thinking about how to find trouble when he saw the bloodstains of Li Lin and the third steward, so he showed a gleam of joy and asked, "How did you get the blood on your body?"

Li Lin said directly: "On the way back from the outside, I met bandits. These are their blood."

"Where did you meet the bandits?"

The third steward then said, "On the way to the small hill, it's about an hour away from here."

The captain whispered a few words to the people next to him, only to see that those people got on their horses and walked out of the city. It seemed that they were going to search for corpses.

The captain looked at the clothes of the third steward (Li Lin was wearing the leather armor he took off, so he didn't pay attention to him.) There was a three character written on it, and the crest of the baron family was embroidered on the collar of the clothes.

The captain knew it in his heart: "These two people seem to be the stewards of the uncle's mansion."

The captain said with a smile: "There is a war these days, and the Lord of the City has ordered strict guards. I hope you two will wait for a while."

The third steward responded: "It should, it should."

After speaking, he and Li Lin sat on the stool for the guards to rest at the gate of the city, waiting for the inspectors to come back.

Li Lin found that several guards were watching them secretly, so he whispered: "Do you think they are looking for something about us?"

The third officer sneered and said, "Soldiers are just like bandits these days. It's normal. They don't dare during the day, and there's no one here at night. It's not normal if they don't have ideas."

The third steward pointed to the empty road and asked, "Didn't you notice that there was no one there?"

Li Lin checked and found that there was no such thing, and there was no curfew in this city, so some people would often be seen going to restaurants or entertainment venues at night.

The third steward sneered and said, "The city gate guards are soldiers during the day and bandits at night. They won't let people leave until they pay all their money. If it wasn't for the steward uniform I was wearing, we would have to fight out." , or obediently hand over the money."

Li Lin said silently in his heart: "It is possible to pay money to eliminate disasters with others, but those like you who want money and life can only fight out."

Li Lin asked: "How much did you just give them to enter the city?"

The third steward said distressedly, "Three copper coins."

Li Lin: "."

Li Lin seemed to know why he didn't let in after paying the money.

It's been a long time.

The guards who had gone out came back, ran to the captain and whispered, "There are indeed more than 20 bandit corpses."

After that, he showed the captain a bunch of ears.

"Hand over your ears tomorrow in exchange for money, and we'll split it."

The captain looked deeply at Li Lin and thought: "It seems that he is a master. He can't push too hard."

Not long ago, another team of guards pushed too hard, causing passers-by masters to kill them all, which taught them a lesson.

The captain walked up to the third steward, and said with a look of despair on his face, "My brothers didn't see any corpses in front."

The third steward covered his pockets and was about to yell at him. Li Lin took a step forward, pulled the third steward away, glanced at the string of ears in the captain's hand, then stuffed a gold coin into the captain's hand and said, "That may be because the road is too dark." The brothers didn’t see it, these small money treat the brothers to have a good meal and nourish their bodies.”

In front of Li Lin, the captain looked at the gold coin and thought, "Wow, what a fat sheep."

The money has gone to the captain's head and he has forgotten the living examples before.

The captain pointed to the group of guards and said, "I have so many brothers, so the money may not be enough."

Li Lin looked at so many people, Ninja angrily took out 9 gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the captain's hand, he didn't bother to do superficial work and said: "Hehe, is this money enough?"

The captain looked at Li Lin's storage ring and said, "Brother, my sister is missing a ring. Can you sell it to me?"

Li Lin sneered and said, "How much does it cost?"

The captain took out the entrance fee given by the third steward from his pocket and said, "3 copper coins."

After saying that, he made an expression as if he had made a profit.

Li Lin could hardly hold back his anger at this moment.

"Boy, if you are sensible, hand over the ring quickly, or you will look good to me."

Li Lin suddenly felt that he didn't need to endure anymore. He was already level 8, and the slave contract was useless to him. Even if he killed someone, it would be a big deal to go to another city.

Li Lin directly picked up the iron rod on the roadside (why another iron rod?) and knocked the captain unconscious with one blow, and then quickly rushed towards the crowd. After a while, all the guards were knocked unconscious by Li Lin.

The third steward looked to see that no one was dead, and they all fainted, so he took out the gold coin from the captain's pocket and handed it to Li Lin, saying, "Brother, you have finally enlightened."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Yes, I was too timid before."

The third manager went on to say: "I kept making troubles along the way, don't you hate me?"

Li Lin said with a relaxed face: "I don't hate, if it wasn't for you, I might still be so afraid."

The third officer said: "I don't know where you are from, but if you are cowardly with us, everyone will bully you."

Li Lin said: "Well, to be honest, I've never been so cheerful."

Li Lin touched his head and said, "You did all the things along the way?"

The third officer said: "Well, yes, I have spent a lot of effort to hug your thick leg tightly."

After saying this, the third officer said again: "I originally wanted to take you to the arena to practice your courage, but I didn't expect you to go to that weapon shop today. The owner of that weapon shop is a famous bully. If he said a few words, it would be strange if he didn't do anything."

After finishing speaking, he said with a proud look: "On our way to bury the corpse outside, I secretly sprinkled some money along the way to lure those bandits to come, but I didn't expect to come here."

Li Lin said with a speechless face: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to beat you?"

The third steward said with a look of disdain: "If you can't beat a level 7 player, then stop messing around and go home and drink milk."

Li Lin thought with some embarrassment: "If I hadn't upgraded, I would have been defeated." But Li Lin would not say it.

Li Lin continued: "If my guess is correct, did you deliberately give him three copper coins to stimulate him?"

The third steward laughed and said: "He has been guarding the city gate at night. The rule he made is that civilians enter and exit 3 copper coins, and we noble servants receive 1 silver coin. I deliberately gave him 3 copper coins and asked him to stop us. You This kind of personality that has turned into a major event will definitely give money, but I didn't expect you to give it 1 gold coin for 1 gold coin, isn't this reminding him that you are rich and seducing him to rob?"

The third steward kicked the people on the ground and said, "I thought you would kill them all, but I didn't expect you to be quite measured."

Li Lin laughed and said, "I'm cowardly, but I'm not stupid."

Just as Li Lin was about to turn around, he was stopped by the third steward: "Help me."

Li Lin glanced at the third officer who was being searched, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated his greed for money.

Li Lin would not be so foolish as to think that the third manager helped him without asking for anything in return, so he looked at the busy third manager on the ground and said, "I will remember this feeling today, and I will talk about it later."

The third steward paused, and thought to himself: "Finally we have a relationship."
