248 Exposing Each Other (1/2)
In the Winterfell Garrison Guard Main Hall.
A long queue of creatures with green words was at the Main Hall. As the queue was proceeding very slowing, a lot of them shouted impatiently.
”Make haste, make haste!”
”Can't the person in the front be faster? I'm going to work in the afternoon!”
”Can I jump the queue? I'm going to the hospital for a medical review.”
A group of creatures was shouting, and a group of creatures was pulling a half-naked creature to give himself up at the station.
”Captain! This is the one who stole a kid's clay lollipop! I suggest immediate execution!”
”I admit it, I surrender. I'm a sicko. Please execute me!”
”Yes, us. What about our rewards?”
…
Similar incidents had occurred numerous times outside the Garrison Guard Main Hall over the past two days.
The lollipop incident was trivial. The more hardcore cases included robbery, fraud, kidnapping, and creature smuggling. However, they were unsuccessful attempts.
Before they committed these heinous crimes, there would be public-spirited inhabitants who would appear and stop these crimes. Then they would send the criminals to the Garrison Guard station to claim their rewards.
Those public-spirited inhabitants with green words above their heads were the good citizens of Eternal Kingdom!
TinyMeatball sat exhausted in his chair. He was entirely deflated by these incidents.
He was mentally, physically, and financially diminished.
He had no more money to maintain the security of Winterfell.
”Captain TinyMeatball, we have chased away the queue and all the warmhearted residents.”
As TinyMeatball was in a daze with extreme exhaustion, his secretary, Cherry, informed him. TinyMeatball nodded, and Cherry said, ”Yes, Dungeon Lord Andrew hopes that you can report the progress of your investigation to him.”
”Dungeon Lord Andrew?”
TinyMeatball lifted his head and was taken aback. Then he stood up in a hurry and followed his secretary outside.
He was baffled. Why was Dungeon Lord Andrew concerned about these trivial cases?
…
Outside the Dungeon Lord Main Hall of Eternal Kingdom.
Eggface sat in front of a table. There was a long queue of gamers who were paying with their Magic Stones.
