129 Welcome to Greenforest City (1/2)
Finally, some guards came to Trevon's wagon. Aya knocked Trevon's room to wake Trevon from his novel-reading time.
Trevon went outside and five city guards in armored robe greeted Trevon.
”Good Morning, Young Master. We want to check your wagon.” Their captain gave a hand and fist salute to Trevon.
”Please!” Trevon gave a hand gesture allowing the guard to check his wagon. He wanted to hear the gossip about the search.
”Thank you for your understanding, Young Master.” The captain gave a hand signal to his squad.
The guards nodded and started to check the exterior of his wagon.
Trevon stopped the captain from moving. ”Please wait a moment! I am very thankful for your hard work to ensure public safety. Please consider this as my wish to treat some drinks for the public heroes!” Trevon took five copper coin pouches. He gave them to Marcus.
Marcus seemed uncomfortable. He looked at Aya and his fiancée. But both only replied with a smile.
The handsome guard showed a forced smile and gave each guard the pouch. Marcus was uncomfortable with bribing officials. It could be said Marcus was the anti-Jonathan. He couldn't hide his uncomfortable every time he had to do something against his moral.
”Brother Guard, could you tell me what happened in the city?” Trevon came closer toward the captain.
”It is something major, Young Master.” The guard frowned. ”Three days ago, several families in the city received some attacks.”
”Attacks?” Trevon could already imagine the Debt Collector. They were the crazy group which could destroy a family.
”Yes. Those families disappeared on a night. This is similar to what happened in Hillbridge and Goldcave.” The guard looked around. ”Based on a gang rumor, they are still in the city, aiming for their next target.”
”Their next target?”
”Yes. The rumor said that they wouldn't stop until the families totally destroyed.”
”Is there any survivor?” Trevon asked.
”I am sorry. I can't say that.” The guard panicked.
”Oh!” Trevon couldn't force the guard. ”The city must be in a disaster without those families leading it?” He changed the topic to a more comfortable topic. [Next, I can just praise him for his work.]
”Young Master must be new to Greenforest. Our city isn't led by a family or sect. We have a hunter council. Every year the best one hundred hunters who lived in the city will make the important decision. The attack made us lose some hunters from those families, but we always had new hunters in the city.”
”Ah!” Trevon forgot the sentences on the guidebook.
”Report! There is nothing strange outside.” One of the guards gave a military salute to the captain.
”Please allow us to check the inside!” The captain gave a fist and palm salute to Trevon. His conduct was far friendlier after the pouch.
”Please!” Trevon invited the captain inside and followed the guards. Marcus and the rest followed behind him.
Trevon asked something more about the city from the captain. He hadn't got the chance to ask Ainsley the best place for night entertainment in the city. The young master also hadn't met Rado after that day in winehouse, so he used the chance to ask the captain.
[Hunting Night.] He thought after receiving the answer. While the name made him afraid, but he believed his family pleasure house should be the safest place in the city. His family must have one or two Rank 3 warriors guarding the place. The young master didn't want the same thing as in Melody Cave happened to him again.
The captain and his squad searched Trevon's wagon for around five minutes. They gave a friendly salute after they checked Trevon's wagon.
It was another thirty minutes before the last wagon in the caravan checked. Their caravan started to move into the city. Trevon returned to his room and smiled. ”I win, Rabbink. Where is my reward?”
”Nope.”
”What? The gate is near. This is already close to the city.” Trevon complained. He couldn't believe the Rabbink was that petty.
”Nope. Even if it is inside the city, you have lost. Check your rooftop! Gwahahaha.” Master Rabbink laughed.
[Grr…] Trevon went outside his wagon. He climbed his wagon.
Trevon wanted to vomit blood. A common lightning pigeon was perched on top of his wagon. The bird enjoyed the moving wagon and seemed to snooze with the rocking.
[Is this real?] Trevon couldn't believe he lost because of a single pigeon. It didn't even attack his wagon.
”Yep! You lose. Gwahahaha.” The Rabbink floated next to him.
[This didn't count.] While Trevon didn't care about the energy reward. Losing was a bad feeling.
”Nope. The mission clearly stated no demon beast touching your wagon.”
Trevon glared to the bird. He dashed toward the bird and captured it with both his hand. As a Peak Rank 1 warrior, it wasn't hard for him to suddenly catch the bird.
[I have to make a bird stew out of you.] He looked at the bird. His eyes turned a bit red.
”Kooo!!!!” The bird panicked with the sudden attack.
”Wait! Scout it first!” Master Rabbink shouted.
Trevon scouted the beast.
[Age: 1 Year]
[Sex: Male]
[Species: Lightning Pigeon]
[Potential: 6/56]
[Ability: Peck]
[Affiliation: Greenforest]
[Eh?] Trevon saw the potential. The pigeon was a demon beast with the potential to become a Rank 3. He scouted it again to make more panels appeared.
[Name: Unnamed]
[Age: 1 Year]
[Sex: Male]
[Species: Lightning Pigeon]
[Potential: 6/56]
[Determination: 31]
[Cultivation Speed: 46]

[Talent: Flying]
[Ability: Peck]
[Affiliation: Greenforest]
”Koo!” It tried to peck into Trevon's hand.
”KOOOO!!!” Trevon slapped the demon beast in revenge. The bird was unconscious from the slap. Trevon was a Peak Rank 1 warrior while the pigeon was only a Beginner Rank 1 demon beast.
[Hmph…] Trevon looked at the unconscious bird and quickly returned to his room.
He still held the pigeon in his hand. It wasn't the time to move the demon beast to his universe. His butt had experienced the pain of a sudden fall in Redwood. That was only a small carriage while currently, he was on the second floor of a wagon.
Trevon transferred Nana outside. The mouse was enjoying the service of her followers when Trevon took her.
”Squeak!” She said that she was busy. Nevertheless, she answered Trevon's transfer.
”I have an important mission for you, Nana.” Trevon showed the unconscious bird.
”Squeak!” Nana thought of a bird stew. She had enjoyed demon beast meats after the dungeon.
”No! You can't eat it. You only need to watch him. We will teach him who the boss is.” Trevon took a rope from his storage ring and tied the bird.
”Squeak!” Nana sat on the bird. She was a bit larger than the pigeon. The mouse seemed happy with being a boss. ”Squeak!”
”You want some snack to wait? Fine. Here is your snack.” Trevon took some spirit foods.
”Squeak! Squeak!” Nana enjoyed her snacks while pressing the pigeon under her.
