Chapter 55: Fanatical Rabbit

"I already said it was an accidental killing! I was in a state of dizziness at the time!"

Xie Yaoyao was a bit helpless; watching has risks, is it my fault!

No, I should still run away; this Mashiu is really stubborn, is he pretending to be Judge Bao?

"Then, who can prove it?"

Mashiu pressed step by step, his palm tightly gripping the longsword in his hand.

Damn it! You native really think I have a good temper!

Carrying a sharp blade, the intent to kill arises naturally!

I carry such a big sharp blade as 【Wild Druid】, don't force me!

Just at this moment, Stidanli on the side spoke again.

"Captain Mashiu, I think this thief should be able to prove the Baron's state at that time, and there should be many onlookers at the scene, right!"

Mashiu looked at the shrinking Shouhou and smiled disdainfully.

"Hmph! Forgive me for being blunt, this..."

Xie Yaoyao impatiently interrupted him.

"Alright! Captain Mashiu, what exactly do you want? Just say it!"

Mashiu wasn't annoyed by being interrupted, just looking at Xie Yaoyao firmly and saying.

"Now an innocent life has passed away in your hands, Baron!"

Is this guy sick!

Xie Yaoyao was angry; is this guy trying to start a war?

Suddenly Stidanli on the side spoke.

"Mashiu, don't be unreasonable. The Baron didn't intentionally kill that damn commoner; do you want to help that commoner extort a noble?"

Stidanli's words finally made Xie Yaoyao understand the reason why this guy kept pestering him.

"You're right, Captain Mashiu. Although it wasn't intentional, I also have a great responsibility. So what compensation do you think I should make?"

Xie Yaoyao's words immediately eased the tense atmosphere at the scene; he clearly saw several City Guard soldiers around him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Three gold coins, at least three gold coins! The deceased was an important..."

Before Mashiu could finish, he was interrupted again, this time by Stidanli.

"This is extortion! Shameless blackmail! That damn guy wouldn't earn three gold coins in his whole life!"

Xie Yaoyao was stunned!

Only at this moment did he understand what the concept of the King rewarding him with one hundred gold coins was.

Xie Yaoyao stopped Stidanli's scolding.

"Thank you very much for Captain Stidanli's righteous words; the Kingdom really should have more righteous knights like you. I think next time I see His Majesty the King, His Majesty will be willing to understand the loyalty of our City Guard!"

A few words made Stidanli beam with joy; the Baron really understands the ways of the world.

Because spellcasters are rare, the Baron in front of him might be a private advisor to His Majesty the King; it seems I, Stidanli, can leave a good impression in His Majesty the King's heart.

After thanking Stidanli, Xie Yaoyao took three gold coins from his personal space and handed them to Mashiu.

"Then please, Captain Mashiu, convey my apologies to the deceased; I hope these three gold coins can alleviate some of the pain of the deceased's family!"

Mashiu originally planned to get one gold coin, but didn't expect this guy to really give three gold coins.

Hmm, it seems this Traveler isn't bad to the bone!

Everyone is happy!

Under Stidanli's reluctant gaze, all the City Guards left.

Only Xie Yaoyao and Shouhou remained at the scene.

Xie Yaoyao slapped Shouhou on the back of the head.

"Eh?!"

Shouhou was stunned!

Hitting me again? Why?

Originally he didn't feel anything, just because the gold coins were obtained too easily.

After what just happened, Xie Yaoyao knew how much money Shouhou had stolen from him at the time.

Really, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

Sure enough, after slapping him once, he felt much more comfortable!

"Big boss! I really won't dare again! We're all Chinese, let me go! Besides, my profession is 【Thief】, we're all just making a living, no need to take my life, right!"

Huh! This guy makes a lot of sense!

Just as Xie Yaoyao wanted to say something, a 'pop' sound came from his side, and a big rabbit suddenly appeared; the big rabbit was also wearing a top hat, looking out of place.

Emerald green natural power instantly condensed in his hand; as a spellcaster, Xie Yaoyao's vigilance was still very high.

"Ah, rabbit, it's that rabbit! It's this rabbit that snatched my gold coins..."

Shouhou was extremely excited, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had said the wrong thing.

Gold coins?

Yeah, this bastard also stole that trophy gold coin of his!

Xie Yaoyao raised his hand, and another huge man-eating flower burst out of the ground, biting half of Shouhou's body.

"Big boss! Big boss! I was wrong! Don't, don't kill me! The gold coin was snatched by this rabbit, it's not on me, it's really not on me!"

Ignoring Shouhou's chatter, Xie Yaoyao looked solemnly at the strange rabbit in front of him.

That rabbit was also startled by the man-eating flower that suddenly burst out of the ground, then looked at Xie Yaoyao with excitement and bowed.

"Respected Baron! Powerful spellcaster! Roman von Gratz, eldest son of Baron Enqin von Gratz, pays tribute to you!"

After the rabbit finished speaking, it scanned the dried corpses hanging on the spiked vines, then looked at Xie Yaoyao with fanaticism again.

The scorching gaze made Xie Yaoyao's liver tremble!

Did this rabbit misunderstand something? I'm not a good person!

Huh?!

Things suddenly became strange!

"Uh! Roman, hello! You..."

Xie Yaoyao really didn't know what to say, and the rabbit opposite took the words very consciously.

"Very sorry! Baron, I offended you without knowing! I didn't expect this powerful sacrificial vessel to be your item; I will return it to its owner now! Please forgive my rashness!"

The rabbit bowed again, then took out a strange gold coin and handed it to Xie Yaoyao; it was exactly the one he had lost.

Xie Yaoyao took the gold coin and put it away, but he still couldn't understand why this rabbit was so respectful to him.

It seemed to be related to his Baron title again.

"Roman, this is not your fault, please don't take it to heart! In fact, I should thank you for helping me retrieve the gold coin!"

The rabbit was overjoyed upon hearing this, bowed to Xie Yaoyao again, and then said.

"Respected Baron, on behalf of the Gratz family, I invite you to visit the Underground City; you and my father, Baron Enqin, will definitely have a lot in common!"

Xie Yaoyao struggled to deal with the fanatical rabbit in front of him.

"Ah! That's great, I also really want to meet Baron Gratz! It's just, you know, unfortunately, I haven't been to the Underground City, so..."

"So sorry! Please forgive my rudeness, it was my lack of consideration!" The rabbit looked at Xie Yaoyao with embarrassment, saying, and took out an old pocket watch and handed it to Xie Yaoyao. "This is a rabbit hole, you can go to the Underground City through it at any time, but it's too old and can only be used once!"

After the rabbit finished speaking, it looked at Xie Yaoyao with embarrassment, as if it were doing something quite rude.

As soon as the pocket watch was in his hand, a prompt sounded in Xie Yaoyao's ear.

"Congratulations to the Traveler for obtaining an invitation to the ordinary Underground City; holding this invitation, the Traveler can go to the Underground City for adventure at any time!" ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
