157 The dog that bit the man
“Red flames?”
“It’s true, deep red, like blood, attached to the sign on the door of the store, even the metal can burn…”
The city lord and the city patrolmen whispered a few words, and the city lord frowned even more.
He stood up directly from the chair and walked towards Luo Ning step by step.
As he got closer, Luo Ning saw that the face of the city lord was a little haggard. On his pale face, only the dark circles under the tired eyes were particularly obvious.
“Adventurer… No, Lord Traveler, take the liberty to ask, are you a fire magician?”
There was a faint excitement in the voice of the city lord, as if he was expecting something.
Luo Ning looked at him vigilantly, not in a hurry to answer his question.
All life in this world can only fit one element when it is born. Luo Ning has thought about how to hide the artifact that can be used by all-element magic in his hand.
It is definitely irrational to expose one’s own abilities. Whether it is the appearance of the divine weapon or his appearance as the creator god, it will cause a big uproar in this world.
Therefore, Luo Ning needs to choose an element among these four elements to pretend to be a magician who fits this element.
He originally thought that he should think about the first elemental magic to learn before contacting magic, but he had not made a decision yet, and the magic book in his hand made a decision for him first.
“You have something to do with my family?”
Raz emerged from behind Luo Ning, his emerald eyes staring straight at the man in front of him.
The man hurriedly smiled: “It’s the Master Mage who wants to trouble the Fire Element with a little private matter…”
“Hmph, but my family is here to deal with that matter over there.”
Raz pointed at the catgirl maid who was slumped on the ground.
The city lord glanced at the situation behind him, and immediately nodded and apologized: “Yes, yes, let’s settle this matter first.”
Realizing that there was something wrong with the way of checking his identity when he opened his mouth, the city owner repeatedly changed the subject.
“According to the rules of Xicheng, for general theft and robbery, in addition to returning the original, the offender needs to be imprisoned in the dungeon for three months, but if the circumstances of the robbery are serious and someone is injured, in this case, the punishment needs to be heavier… “
“But considering that you took action to stop it in time, the perpetrator’s purpose was not achieved, and the crime was attempted, then this matter can be big or small…”
“It’s mainly up to you, how would you like to deal with it?”
The city lord grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and bowed down to ask Luo Ning’s opinion.
His attitude made Luo Ning feel strange from the beginning. This man’s humility towards Luo Ning was even more humble than those of the soldiers.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
This city lord asked Luo Ning.
But Luo Ning was not interested.
If he hadn’t heard from the soldiers that he could get compensation in gold coins, he wouldn’t have bothered here.
“Then follow your rules and be imprisoned for three months.”
Luo Ning said coldly.
He just wanted to get the money and run away.
Luo Ning’s icy voice entered Cat Niang’s ears.
The soft and powerless pink cat’s ears trembled. Even though she was weak and weak, the feeling of fear still made her curled up body shrink even more.
“Okay,” the city lord nodded, and hastily finalized the verdict.
“Come on, push people up.”
The strong voice of the city lord echoed in the audience hall.
A figure appeared at the entrance, it was a middle-aged man, the man was dragged in by the soldiers.
The man’s clothes were disheveled, his trousers were not properly worn, and there was an unknown liquid hanging on his trouser legs, which looked like he had just been forcibly dragged off the bed.
“This is……?”
Luo Ning was a little puzzled.
What’s up with this man sometimes?
Luo Ning can be sure that this person has never even met before.
“Hehe, that’s it, Lord Traveler… The orc slaves of the Klotar Empire are not, strictly speaking, ‘humans’. Here we have a dog biting a human being, and the punishment is not the dog, but the dog owner. …”
“But she’s a cat.” Raz pointed to the cat girl on the ground.
Raz has a very tricky angle on certain things.
The city owner smiled awkwardly: “The same is true for cats…”
“Forgive your life, spare your life, Lord City Lord…”
“Sir City Lord, the shop has been in business for more than ten years, and has never done anything that hurts the world!!”
The middle-aged man was dragged up by the soldiers, his feet softened, and he knelt down.
“Lord City Lord, since the shop is diligent and diligent, pays taxes on time every quarter, and contributes a little to the construction of the West City, you will be open to the net… Okay, okay?”
The man begged bitterly and cried with tears.
Luo Ning heard what was going on.
The man in front of him is the ‘master’ of Catgirl, the manager of the previous tavern.
“It’s just three months of detention.” The city lord’s tone was not a comfort, his voice was relatively calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
He just wanted to settle this matter hastily, and after that he had private matters to discuss.
The man cried with snot and tears:
“The compensation for the tavern and the maintenance fee on the second floor are not a small amount. There are old people and young people on my side. The whole family relies on me to support the family. ah…”
“After working hard all my life, I managed to open a small shop. Although I can’t make a lot of money, I can have a decent life…”
The man covered his face with his hands, and he didn’t know if he was trying to beg for mercy, or was talking to himself in despair.
He cried for a while, wiped the snot from his face indiscriminately, turned around and took a few steps, and climbed to the side of the slave girl who was kneeling on the ground.
His fierce gaze was like a man-eating beast, and he looked at the girl on the ground without hesitation.

One hand was raised high, and a punch full of the strength of an adult man slammed into Catgirl’s back without hesitation.
“Boom.”
Catgirl was beaten by her fists and slid half a meter on the ground, whimpered, and fell to the ground with her head in her arms, allowing the man to punch and kick.
She can’t even say sorry now, her teeth are clenched, only some intermittent whimpering from pain leaked from between her lips.
The already tattered clothes were tottering between the tearing and dragging.
Some old wounds and old bruises protruded from the girl’s trouser legs and sleeves.
Judging from the man’s skillful way of beating her, it was not the first time that the other party had done such a thing.
“It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, beast!”
“Do you think you can really leave if you put together enough money!”
“Hehe, I said that twenty gold coins will let you redeem yourself, do you really believe it?”
“Don’t forget, Lao Tzu is your master. How much money Lao Tzu tells you, you will have as much money!”
“When you have collected twenty gold coins, I will raise the price to two hundred gold coins. How about you, never despair?”
“What do you think you can do with the money you put together? Let me tell you, the money you put together is just for Lao Tzu!! You are Lao Tzu’s dog, and the money of the beast belongs to the owner, do you understand?!!”
