Chapter 768: Storm Is Coming (3)
The jackal disliked the human cub's slow walking, so he simply picked up Thalia by the waist. Of course, it didn't care whether there was blood on its body, or whether the blood would rub on Thalia's body.
Salia's mind went blank.
She was carried to the palace in a daze, covered in blood, and was confused until she stood under the throne of Su Nian.
"What's wrong with you?"
Anna, who was called by Su Nian, frowned when she saw the Jackal and Salia covered in blood. After a little exploration, she was relieved. Neither the Jackal nor Salia was injured, and the blood belonged to others.
"Go back to Your Majesty the Queen."
The jackal bowed and saluted:
"While looking for Miss Salia, I happened to encounter Miss Salia being harassed by three human mercenaries. Since the three human mercenaries violated Articles 147 and 182 of the Black Dragon Code, my subordinates punished the three mercenaries. Take measures to kill on the spot."
"so……"
More and more businessmen are willing to take root in the Black Dragon Empire, which also brings more tasks to the mercenaries.
[Salia’s characteristics have been activated! 】
When talking about this matter, Su Nian also reacted.
Su Nian secretly thought that it was not easy. This was the first time he met a special person whose favorability was not as good as his. Could this little priest have androphobia? But now it’s okay to max out with Anna, as long as you can bring out Salia’s special qualities.
Now that they have been members of the black dragon for so long, they have long known what it means to be human and worldly.
Feeling the warm robe on her body, Shalia finally reacted from her fear and confusion, and tears burst into her eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The jackal saw Anna cleaning its body. Although it felt that it was not necessary, it still bowed and thanked her.
Seeing that Salia still looked helpless, Anna couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. She walked up to the little Salia and raised her hand in Salia's blank eyes:
"Okay, everything is over. No one will dare to bully you like this again."
These taverns mainly serve mercenaries and adventurers.
Taverns and guilds promote the development of the royal city and attract professionals.
As the Black Dragon Empire becomes more and more stable, people's living standards have also improved significantly.
Anna held Salia in her arms, her eyes sparkling with maternal brilliance. She gently stroked Salia's little head, and softly comforted Salia like Su Nian did when he coaxed her:
Thalia cried in Anna's arms for a while. In the end, she did not forget that it was the Jackal who saved her in the critical moment.
The blood stains on her body were gone, and a large area of Shalia's snow-white skin was exposed. The priest's robe was almost torn into strips, and it was no longer able to function as a body covering. Seeing this, Anna immediately took off her robe. It was draped over Salia's body.
Immediately afterwards, Su Nian saw a beam of golden light falling from the sky, falling on Shalia like a lightsaber, and disappeared in an instant.
"As a member of the imperial guard, it is my duty to protect the residents under the king's command. You don't need to thank me so much. Even if I am not here, if other monsters see it, they will still rescue you."
The mercenaries had a high survival rate and the money they received was spent wisely. Due to market demand, five more taverns were built in the royal city.
Compared with running business in other empires, it is obviously much safer to do business in the Black Dragon Empire.
The Black Dragon Code is a code of centralized monarchy formulated by Su Nian himself. The laws are extremely strict, and anyone who urinates or defecates anywhere will be beaten. However, it is much better than the death penalty imposed by the Airland Empire at every turn.
A system prompt popped up in Su Nian's field of vision.
Article 147 of the Black Dragon Code stipulates that women shall not be harassed or raped. For particularly serious cases, such as rape or attempted rape, the perpetrator shall be punished with death. This also applies to monsters; Article 182 of the Code stipulates that causing trouble in the street shall be fined And be imprisoned in a dark dungeon, sentenced to death in serious cases, or transformed into flesh and blood creatures.
At the same time, these professionals have limited self-control after being drunk and will inevitably cause some troubles.
Then the light wheel diffused a soft light element and enveloped the Jackal and Thalia, instantly cleaning away the blood stains on the Jackal and Thalia.
"Pure and flawless light, obey my orders and help me clean up the filth in front of me!"
Mercenaries generally die in the hands of monsters or bandits. The former is mainly distributed in the Silver Moon Forest, and merchants will not run there if they have nothing to do. In the latter, rebel organizations like bandit groups still exist, but their numbers are extremely small and they are basically in a state of insecurity. A state of hiding from time to time.
[Salia’s favorability towards Anna is +5, and the current favorability is 100 (current favorability status: Rumu)]
But everything has pros and cons.
The jackal stretched out his paws and lifted Thalia up with a gentle lift. He shook his head and said in a steady tone:
The little girl was very polite, walked up to the Gnoll and bowed to the end.
As Anna chanted, a golden halo emerged above her head.
[Salia’s favorability towards you is +5, current favorability is 95 (current favorability status: awe)]
Anna nodded understandingly.
"Thank you for rescuing me! I, I will definitely repay your kindness!"
She threw herself into Anna's arms like a swallow returning to its nest and cried loudly, which soon wetted Anna's clothes.
