"Damn, this thing is so fucking heavy!" Cursing in dissatisfaction, Gu Yuan shook his shoulders to relieve the pain in his shoulders.
Although there are many fights and murders in the Beast Taming City, on the surface, people's daily behavior is controlled by the soldiers of the Beast Taming City.
Therefore, Gu Yuan did not dare to go through the main city gate, but went to a corner in the south of the city where there was a more hidden cave entrance. Gu Yuan left the Beastmaster City from there, threw Scar's body into the mass grave outside the city, and then slowly returned from the main gate.
Two teams of spirited soldiers in black armor were checking the people coming and going at the city gate.
Since the establishment of Beast Taming City, the imperial capital has sent 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison here every year. On the one hand, this is to prevent the recurrence of the beast tide. On the other hand, this place is backed by the Black Demon Mountains, which attracts a large number of mercenaries who need to ensure the stability of Beast Taming City.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual about him, Gu Yuan walked into the city gate.
"Hey, stand there and get checked!"
Unlike the soldiers in black armor, the speaker was wearing silver armor and looked like a general.
A tall soldier approached, and Gu Yuan froze in his tracks. Although he was dressed like a member of a wealthy family, these elite soldiers from the imperial capital didn't care. They didn't need to flatter anyone.
Gu Yuan obediently raised his hands for the tall soldier to check, while secretly looking at the general.
A serious expression was written on his face, and his rough face seemed to have experienced countless hardships. Some sword wounds were still visible, but for some reason there was a hint of fatigue deep in his eyes.
There were brown stains visible to the naked eye in the gaps of the silver armor. Gu Yuan knew that they were bloodstains.
These are real soldiers, and the bloodstains are their glory on the battlefield.
"Okay, you can go in."
"General, urgent news!" A soldier ran over hurriedly and said something in the general's ear.
The general's expression changed drastically, then returned to normal. He said hurriedly to the tall soldier, "Wang Ming, you help me guard here. I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion."
…
City Lord's Mansion
In the hall, Lin Mo stood below the main seat, looking nervous, not daring to look up at the two people above him.
A young girl was sitting on the main seat, and next to her stood a young man with an indifferent expression.
The girl was wearing a long, emerald green dress. Her large eyes darted around as she curiously surveyed everything in the hall. Her long, graceful legs swayed, revealing her snow-white skin to the air. The small bells tied to the hem of her skirt jingled.
The young man stared at the girl's face, a hint of pampering and helpless smile appearing on his cold face.
"Yaoyao, City Lord Lin is still here, please pay attention to your image."
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay. I finally got out, why do you care about these things?" The girl giggled, her big, smart eyes curved into a bright moon.
"Okay, City Lord Lin and I have something to discuss. You sit here for a while, I'll be back soon." The young man touched the girl's long hair, causing her to shake her head.
The young man's smile widened. He looked at Lin Mo, who was standing at the main seat, and his expression returned to indifference. He said calmly, "City Lord Lin, how about we talk in the study?"
"well!"
Lin Mo looked up at the young man and said hurriedly.
"Yaoyao, be obedient and wait for me here for a while." The young man once again instructed the girl sitting in the main seat, and then left with Lin Mo.
"Hmph, I don't want to wait for you here!" The girl made a face at the young man's back, pouting her lips in dissatisfaction.
"I finally get to come out once, but he starts talking about things instead of playing with me. Then I'll go out and play by myself!" The girl rolled her eyes, jumped down from her seat, and sneaked out of the hall.
But before she could even step out of the hall, two soldiers stopped her. One of them looked terrified: "Princess...Princess, where are you going?"
"Do I need to inform you where I'm going?" The girl frowned and said unhappily.
"No... no, please forgive me, Princess. We... we are doing our duty." The soldier said with embarrassment.
"Hmph, this princess can go wherever she wants, and you have no right to stop me! Don't stop me, or I'll let Brother Ye kill you all!" The girl stretched out her little fist and threatened with a cold face.
"Princess, please spare us! This is indeed our duty!" The two soldiers were terrified and knelt down to spare their lives. The princess's words were golden, and it would only take a word to take their lives.
"Okay, okay, get up. This is really boring."
Looking at the two frightened men, the girl showed a hint of helplessness on her face. Aren't they the elite soldiers of the empire? Why are they so timid?
"Thank you, Princess!" The two soldiers looked at each other with a hint of relief.
Suddenly, two emerald green lights appeared on the girl's hands, and then gently hit the two men's necks. The two soldiers' eyes went dark and they fell to the ground.
"Hmph, I, Shui Yaoyao, can go wherever I want. You can't watch me." The girl clapped her hands and ran outside proudly.
Because Beastmaster City is located on the border, its population is not large, only a few tens of thousands, and most of them are mercenaries who have settled here for a long time. Even so, Beastmaster City is as prosperous as other cities.
The girl ran around, looking at everything on the street curiously.
At a street stall, the girl picked up a cute pink hairpin and pinned it on her head. "Grandpa, do you think I look good?"
"It's so beautiful. The girl looks like a fairy wearing this hairpin."
"Grandpa, how much is this?"
