Spare Me, Great Lord!-Novel2

Chapter 955: A Bold Idea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The North Capital was bigger than they had expected. Furthermore, to their surprise, the city walls were sloppy and typical. They did not seem grand and sturdy.

Lu Shu had seen a very impressive strategic pass on his way here. The towering wall was like a mountain. Back then, when the fortress at Tiger’s Back was being built, it was designed in such a way that experts below Rank Three would not be able to go over the wall. The North Capital walls were even more frightening. Lu Shu felt that even Rank Twos had to put in great effort in order to cross the walls.

Of course, Rank Ones could fly. There was no way to prevent them from doing so. They would have to see who had higher combat power.

But the North Capital was unlike the strategic passes he had seen. It was as if they were not guarded. For some reason, Lu Shu did not feel that this was absurd. On the other hand, he felt that this came from Wen Zaifou’s confidence. If an army could make their way here without being punished, it would be time for Wen Zaifou to take action. When that time came, city walls were not needed.

The horses and carriages all entered the city. The leader took the time while Sun Zhongyang and the rest walked around the city to sell suitable goods.

He had lost a bit of money during this journey. There were some goods that were of no value if he brought it to the palace. But he could not take up the time of Sun Zhongyang and the rest just because he wanted to do business. He was slavishly dependent on the Sun family.

Although his business was very large, it was nothing to the Sun family. This was the difference between slave owners and truly wealthy families.

After everyone in the trade caravan had left, Lu Xiaoyu continued to guard the entrance of the carriage with the Bishop. She was very bored. She saw the bustling streets of the North Capital and wanted to walk around, but knew that Lu Shu was racing against time. He could not delay any further.

Thus, Lu Xiaoyu was willing to guard the entrance, instead of pestering Lu Shu to walk around the city with her.

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage opened. Lu Shu smiled and jumped down. “Let’s walk around the city and see what it’s like.”

“Really?” Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up. “Someone over there is holding some sticks of food. They look delicious. Can we go there?”

“Of course.” Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “We have money now!”

At any rate, he was the head of a city and the chairman of the board of directors for a transnational company that monopolized the market... how could he be stingy with buying some tidbits?

That was right. This was how Lu Shu defined his own identity...

Lu Shu did not bring Lu Xiaoyu to the slave market. On one hand, Lu Shu felt that Lu Xiaoyu had innate evil tendencies. Thus, he did not want to bring her to see the dark side of the world. On the other hand, he had never planned on buying a slave. Thus, there was no need for him to go there.

Lu Xiaoyu held a stick of fishballs in each hand and ate as she walked. The Bishop, who was following closely beside her, was carrying a basket of buns. The fish balls were different from those made in Guangdong. There were fine fish bones in these fish balls. This only happened when the stores did not clean the fish properly. It rarely happened and there was no use eating it. Furthermore, she could even taste pork while eating the fish balls.

Indeed, the food in the Luniverse was no match for the food on earth. They had not developed much in terms of seasonings and processing. But this did not stop Lu Xiaoyu from enjoying her food.

The two of them aimlessly walked around. Lu Shu was getting used to the Luniverse...

Suddenly, someone bumped into Lu Shu. When he brushed shoulders with Lu Shu and wanted to continue walking forward, he could not move...

“From Zhou Ke’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “I’ve heard of people who have done this before, but I have never seen it in action. You have broadened my perspective.”

When he approached Lu Shu, a blade appeared between his fingers. He wanted to slash Lu Shu’s front chest pocket and steal his things, but Lu Shu managed to dodge.

The thief knew that the situation was bleak and tried to escape as if nothing had happened. But how could Lu Shu let him run away? Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “Public or private?”

He observed this thief. He was dressed in a neat and graceful manner. If he had not caught the thief, it would be very difficult to discover that he was a thief!

The thief had caught up to them since Lu Shu and the rest had left the trade caravan. They were experts in observing visitors from other cities. Furthermore, the fact that they followed the trade caravan meant that they were not very strong.

He did not dare to attack the young men in front of him. This was the same as on Earth. Thieves would pretend to be victims of a car accident, but they would not target luxury cars. The owner of the car would go down and attack the thief. Alternatively, the car would be so fast that they would die in a crash.

There were very few people who dared to target luxury cars. From a Social-Darwinist perspective, those who dared to target luxury cars were either dead or in jail. The rest all did not dare to target luxury cars.

It was the same in the North Capital. There were aristocrats everywhere. Although it was not like that of the palace, it was the core of political activity in the region. They would not dare to provoke locals or visitors that seemed very strong. They liked to target people like Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, who were not outstanding in their attire and did not seem rich.

But he had almost died in the process...

Lu Shu let go of the thief. He was sure that the thief was no more than Rank Six. Even if he was a Rank Four, he would still run away when he saw Lu Shu.

But just as he was released, two people suddenly came in between Lu Shu and the thief, seemingly unintentionally. The thief bent over and hid in the crowd.

The two people had knives in their hands. They were about to attack Lu Shu. Lu Shu’s expression turned cold. He snapped his fingers and sword energy seeped out of his fingers, breaking their knives!

The two of them were shocked. What was this?!

Lu Shu shouted towards the thief, who was running away, “Stop right there!”

But the thief did not stop. Lu Shu realized that Sun Zhongyang and the rest were not too far away.

When Sun Zhongyang heard this familiar voice, he turned to look at Lu Shu, then turned to look at the figure running away. Wait. They knew that Lu Shu had never come to the North Capital. Lu Shu had said so himself. Who had Lu Shu bumped into? Furthermore, he asked the person to stop?

Was the person who had escaped the commander of the Wei Wu Army?

To Sun Zhongyang and the rest, it was not important whether this was the case. After all, it was convenient for them.

When the thief ran into a gap, he secretly turned back and looked whether anyone was chasing after him. He saw Sun Zhongyang and the rest fly into the air. Four of them flew up!

The thief was in despair. Why were so many Rank One experts chasing him? Was there a need to do so? Huh?!

He was just stealing some money! Were you Rank One experts so free?

“From Zhou Ke’s distress, +999!” historical

Lu Shu was dumbfounded as well. The moment Sun Zhongyang and the rest flew up, he guessed why Sun Zhongyang was so proactive... but he suddenly came up with a bold idea...
