Chapter 84 Arrival at the Academy
No one can tell that the carriage given by Malcolm could not be accepted. Moreover, there was also a thief uncle who specialized in robbery. After walking around, he told him that this was a kingdom tax car that all thieves would definitely not touch. If they were accepted, there would definitely be problems.
Lu Chen knew that Malcolm didn't have any good intentions, but fortunately he had a space ring, otherwise the weight and quantity would be a headache for people. Five hundred million taxes, even if they were all gold coins, would cost 50,000, and only a specially-built tax car could bear so much at once.
Feeling Malcolm's sinister intentions, Lu Chen wanted to get rid of him more and more, but the time is really bad.
Although he cheated 500 million yuan, everyone was still not happy when he thought of the tax cart problem. Until someone took a bite of the freshly roasted meat and found that the taste was different from usual. After curious, everyone's emotions rose again. The reason was naturally that Sharon proudly declared, "This is the dragon meat of the Dixinglong killed by her little Chenchen."
Of course no one doubts the credibility, and it doesn’t matter whether it is believed or not. After all, everyone has seen Lu Chen throwing the scroll as a stone, but the beauties who are familiar with Lu Chen transformed, which almost made the fourteen soldiers "unwilling to bear to" eat it.
After a short rest, everyone continued to set off.
As for the hot tax cart, it was very simple to deal with. Lu Chen pulled Verona and stayed at the end. He only used the space ring to hold all the gold coins, and didn't even ask for the packed box. Then he poured all the items of the Necromancer into the tax cart, and even buried it all.
What was a bit surprising was that Verona had no resistance to these disgusting things. She just felt a little confused when Lu Chen put away his only skull and bone wings that he was interested in, but she didn't ask too much. This made Lu Chen feel much more relieved. You should know that things like bones that symbolize death are quite taboo.
Then, Lu Chen raised the cleared space ring and looked at Verona a little embarrassedly. Because he really didn't know how to speak, after all, this ring was filled with those disgusting things.
However, Verona was flattered. She first pointed to the ring and then pointed at herself in disbelief. After getting Lu Chen's nod, she covered her heart with her hands, looking full of unbelievable surprise. Then when Lu Chen thought she was unwilling to accept it and wanted to persuade her, Verona hugged him suddenly, let go of all her reserve, and enthusiastically offered her lips.
After a moment of infatuation, Verona let go of Lu Chen and trembledly stretched out her left hand to him. Her previous surprise also turned into unconcealed happiness, and her eyes were firm and shy to look directly at the beloved in front of her.
Looking at Verona with a blushing face, Lu Chen realized how much misunderstanding his behavior caused, but this was a very beautiful misunderstanding.
He put on a ring for her without hesitation, and then took the initiative to kiss her. He was a little greedy and his hands were not regular. But just when Lu Chen wanted to go deeper into the clothes, Verona grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "I was so anxious when I was so young. It seems that the agreement with you is correct. Alas, I really don't know what my future will be like."
The sly smile made Lu Chen stop helplessly, and he retorted a little resentfully: "I'm not young anymore. Aren't there many people who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen?"
"Then what do my little Chenchen want? Is it here to make me your woman?" Lu Chen's hands were still making small movements on his chest, and his tone was so charming, but the meaning revealed was that it made people have to calm down.
The burning heart fire was extinguished at once. Verona's question was very simple. Lu Chen instinctively wanted to answer "yes", but what appeared in his mind was the extremely complicated reality afterwards. He was no longer a real boy in his teens. The various problems that life needs to face made Lu Chen's rationality unable to answer that way, and he did not want to be so sloppy with the person he really liked.
"Haha, don't be so embarrassed. With your own heart, I will not regret whatever you do to me." Looking at Lu Chen's frowning, Verona softened her heart, stroked his hair, and made the choice to let him go.
Seeing Verona's look like he was picking, Lu Chen made a decision in his heart. He gently tapped her lips, wrapped his hands that were doing bad things on her waist, and then smiled and said, "You are already my woman, there is nothing to be achieved or not. Even if you regret it, it is too late. What I want is not only now, but also everything you will have in the future."
"Chenchen~"
"Stop, stop tempting me anymore. I'm still young, you can't destroy me like this. Let's go, it's time to catch up with everyone, otherwise Sharon might have to turn around and catch the adulterer." Verona, who interrupted the emotion, pulled her towards the riding beast after Lu Chen finished speaking. He really couldn't stand this enthusiastic beauty.
He sat on the riding beast and hugged Lu Chen from behind. Verona obviously didn't plan to let him go, and said badly: "Are you afraid of that girl Sharon? Are you afraid of being pointed out by Rafitta when she saw this ring and pointed it in my hand now?"
Lu Chen was depressed and didn't feel much about the softness that was squeezing him behind him. He paused and said a little awkwardly: "She is yours, of course you are responsible for solving it."
So the two returned to the team amid Verona's smug chuckling, but then by chance, they heard a soldier jokingly asking the thief how he dared to make the Red Thorn Flower idea.
It turned out that several days ago, two strong men emerged from somewhere to steal his hamlet. One of them was a magician with six-star strength. Thieves with an average strength of only two or three stars did not dare to resist. After he, the only six-star boss, was defeated, he had to give up his nest obediently. Then he was sent a piece of information with pity by the other party, saying that a team would take several cars of property from Papua City to the royal capital.
Although they are thieves who make a living by robbing, they are not righteous thieves like chivalrous thieves, but they also have dignity. They never thought of accepting this kind of food that comes from pity, let alone God knows whether it is a difficult bone to chew. However, when they went to join another group of thieves and complained to their colleagues, they accidentally mentioned it, and the colleagues couldn't help but send someone to see it.
As a result, it was amazing. The team with the flag of Papua City could be recognized at a glance as the city defense force was pretending to be. But at the same time, they also saw that the carriage in front was full of women, and the last two carriages also left deep wheel marks, which were obviously load-bearing things.
It was okay to say that I didn't see it before, but once I confirmed that the women and treasures were real, the thieves couldn't sit still. It happened that both of them were thieves nearby, and they felt angry again. So two thieves of about 100 people simply established an alliance in private, and then contacted the thieves in other areas, intending to use the hands of other peers to make a big vote.
It just so happened that several thieves also received the news, and they were already itchy, so they agreed as soon as they contacted them, so other thieves joined with the crowd, which also triggered more other thieves to join.
Then, after seeing the ordinary woman Lu Chen asked the girls to dress up as, the thieves finally couldn't help but decide to take action, and their number had already gathered to about 500, and they had to take action. If they waited, they would not know if the woman they snatched and the money they had enough.
The final result was that the iron plate of Red Thorn Flower was kicked, and then the dead were almost extinct.
Now that I think about it, one of the two strong men should be the undead mage this time. Everything, they designed from the beginning, just don’t know who the remaining strong men are.
Lu Chen and the girls were still confused, but with the information of the thief uncle, the soldiers with common points could probably guess who the other strong man was. But no one could understand why their city lord Litt was entangled with the necromancer, and there was no evidence to prove this. However, some people still couldn't help but tell this unproof speculation, because this incident really made them unable to bear it.
After listening to the soldiers' speculation in shock, Lu Chen did not show any more reactions. For him from Earth, it was too common for him to come out to settle the matter. He just couldn't figure out why he had to mobilize himself so much.
After soothing the emotionally excited soldiers, and looking at Sharon who was gritting his teeth and really trying to smash Malcolm with a scroll, Lu Chen thought about how to deal with the father and son.
Regardless of whether they would let themselves go like this, if they hadn't built a healing array in their inexplicable way, even if they survived this time, they would have been disabled for life. Such a huge amount of money would have to be asked for back from them no matter what.
When the sun sets, everyone finally arrived at Adego City. Since there were fourteen soldiers, Lu Chen attracted their strange sight and did not waste money to stay in the best place. He just included a small hotel with few guests, so he naturally did not give Malcolm the opportunity to insert it.
However, Malcolm seemed to know that this would be the case, so he went to the city lord's mansion without saying anything. It was when he set out the next day that Lu Chen was very depressed to find that not only did this guy follow up again, but also found one of the young city lords in Adego City as his companion.
After a long time, the new guy was Sharon's classmate, and he was obviously a bit stupider than Malcolm. It was not until he left the city that he was teased by the beauties before he obediently returned to his own carriage and stopped pestering Sharon. However, he, who is also a young city lord, may not be the only son like Malcolm, and his tone and movements are not so excessive, so everyone is still polite to him.
With his previous experience and almost turning against Malcolm, Lu Chen stopped pretending to be kind and calculated every day that he spent the night in the passing city. Even if he couldn't reach the next city at night, he would rather stay for one more day, or simply take a detour to other cities and rush around like checkers.
So Malcolm was in a bad mood. He went to bed late and got up early every day, fearing that he would be left behind. Of course, in addition to being afraid of encountering something inexplicable when he was on the road alone, he was always thinking about "repaying" a scroll for Lu Chen.
Although this is time-consuming and expensive, after experiencing the battle with the undead, everyone no longer objected to this waste, because everyone knew that Lu Chen had used up the scroll, and if something unexpected happened, there would be no luck. Also, everyone vaguely realized that Lu Chen had expectations for them. Although he didn't know what he wanted everyone to do, the soldiers who wanted to stay felt that their luck was coming.
However, what Lu Chen didn't expect was that such a way of traveling almost made him crazy.
Due to the slowdown of the trip, the new semester has accelerated, which happened to catch up with the peak of schooling in various places. So in the following journey, some students were added one after another. Because the Red Thorn Flower, which is more famous among the students, a large group of female students attracted a lot of famous girls. In the end, even Lu Chen, who hired them, became famous. The most painful thing was that with the addition of several of Sharon's female classmates, Lu Chen had to leave the comfortable carriage and learn to ride a beast from Verona.
Malcolm, who followed her with a stern face, was also deeply hurt. He could still act as a noble airs towards Sharon and Lu Chen, but with some nobles who were of the same identity and even more prouder than him, he could only retreat to the side timidly, and his plan to assassinate Lu Chen had to be put aside; however, he did not just miss the opportunity in vain, and instigated everyone's dissatisfaction with Lu Chen in his circle. It happened that Lu Chen was in the circle where most women were, and naturally became a public enemy of most boys.
In this way, the vast team arrived at the college one day before the start of the school year, making a group of teachers in charge of management so angry that they jumped straight on their feet. Because so many students were arranged to move in at the same time, they were busy until the new semester ceremony of the next day. Not only the students who did not adjust the biological clock were dozing off, but even the teachers fell asleep in the speech of the leaders of the hospital, and the result was naturally self-evident and miserable.
