Chapter 197, Yevlit: It’s Getting Fun

The city gate.

"He is indeed wanted."

Everit stood in front of the notice board and looked at it.

They are wanted from above.

There were many wanted posters drawn, but no photos.

As for the wanted poster, as Evelit had expected, there were only some very active and identifiable people.

For example, a guy like Everit, who rarely rushes to the front in fights, who can paddle and catch fish, and never sheds a drop of sweat, naturally cannot be painted and described in detail.

but

But Turtledove and Harpy were up there.

Also, it says their magic (guess) and bounty.

Pink-haired girl: Magic - Wind, good at swordsmanship. The reward is 680,000 J.

Blue Cat: Magic - space teleportation, can fly. The bounty is 420,000 J.

"Mr. Evelit, what should we do now?" Ikaruga asked.

Just because he was considering being wanted.

Turtledove was wearing a cloak, and Harpy was sitting on her shoulders and was covered. She was standing here majestically, but did not cause an uproar.

Civilians would not pay attention to it after just one glance. It is not surprising that magicians and the like often dress like this.

Civilians are easy to fool, but when they want to enter the city, there are soldiers who search them in detail, so it is difficult for them to enter.

"Yevrit, Yevrit, look, Natsu's bounty is lower than mine." Habi whispered, his voice full of pride.

Even if Natsu couldn't use magic for the time being, according to his personality, he would still be the most active.

However, because he was judged to have no magic, the reward given to him was 70,000 J, which was equivalent to one month's rent of Lucy's house.

Lucy, on the list at this time, is drawn in the form of a mecha, with a bounty of 700,000 J.

Lucy is so valuable, she’s actually worth ten months’ rent!

"Mr. Evelit?" Ikaruga asked again.

"Then don't go in, I can go in by myself." Everit said.

"How about that? You can't use magic now. If something happens..." Ikaruga was reluctant.

"Am I just relying on deceptive magic?" Evelit said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as there is no risk of exposure, do you think I can't get away with it based on my ability?"

"That's not what I meant." Ikaruga shook his head.

"Don't worry, Turtledove, I will protect Everit." Habi handed out a small box and said: "Evelit, if there is trouble, just throw a card in and I will come. Pick you up."

"Okay." Evelit nodded and took the small box.

"Mr. Evelit, I wish you good luck." Ikaruga saluted.

Everit placed the small box in her bag.

He lowered the brim of his hat slightly and held a gentleman's cane in his hand. He didn't feel guilty at all. He walked very calmly and had some aristocratic elegance.

He came to the city gate.

"Hello, sir." The soldier on duty at the city gate, who was of course the most discerning, nodded quickly and bowed.

Often, nobles like this are the most generous, and sometimes even give a generous reward for the sake of face.

as expected.

Everit took out a gold coin and tossed it.

The soldiers' eyes were fixed on the gold coin. As the gold coin rotated and rose, their heads also lifted up. When it fell, they also fell down. Their eyes were fixed on it, with desire written on their faces.

Everit said: "What? Do you want to search me?"

At this time, anyone entering the city must be searched.

These soldiers are not good guys. They are rough with men and inevitably take advantage of women.

Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

Everit didn't want to be treated so rudely.

It's not that he feels guilty, he just doesn't like being touched like this. And it was obvious that the reason these guys were searching was not because of them.

There should be something else.

After hearing Yefulit's question, a soldier said: "Of course not, sir, we are catching a thief. You can tell he is a noble or a big businessman, so he is definitely not a thief."

"Catch the thief?" Everit took out a second gold coin.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Bing's eyes became brighter and he explained: "A month ago, there were many thefts in the city, and many important people lost a lot of property."

"Until a week ago, Mr. Barry, who came from the royal city, was a powerful magician. He almost caught the thief. Unfortunately, the thief ran too fast, so she escaped."

"But the thief is also injured, and since we sealed the city gate, it's impossible for her to escape from the city."

"Master Barry judged that she still has accomplices, and now that she has lost contact, they will definitely go to the city to rescue her."

"That's why we are required to hold the city gate day and night and search everyone who passes by."

"Do you know what her accomplices look like? What's the use of searching her body?" Everit asked doubtfully.

"Sir, the thief is said to be a very beautiful girl, but Mr. Barry said that she is a demon that is very similar to a human being. Even if there are few, she still retains some demonic characteristics. Mr. Barry said that her accomplice must also be Devil, so as long as we search and catch the devil who enters the city alone, he will probably be her accomplice."

"That's it." Evelit took out the third gold coin and said, "I am a viscount of the kingdom and a traveling scholar. I have experienced a long journey and want to rest in this city, but From what you say, this city is a bit dangerous."

Yevlit is a real nobleman, so he knows how to pretend his identity. With his outfit, if a soldier dares to question him, he will slap him twice, and the other party will have to apologize and believe him.

There are so many viscounts in a kingdom, and ordinary soldiers don't know them all. At this time, as long as you don't show your fear, it will be difficult to be exposed.

What's more, the other party's attention is on the gold coins.

"No, no, no, sir." The soldier was anxious, afraid that he would scare away an obviously wealthy nobleman, and hurriedly said: "It's just a little thief, it's no big deal. Anyway, this matter will definitely be resolved within a week!"

Another soldier also hurriedly said: "Yes, sir, Master Barry has said that if we wait for three more days and still haven't caught him, then..."

He approached Yevlit and whispered: "Just find a fake execution, which will definitely attract the other party to come into the city for rescue, so that we can catch the other party, follow the clues, and recover all the lost finances."

"What a smart person." Yevlit smiled.

"Master Barry is an official in the capital, of course he is very smart." The soldier said.

Yevlit smiled. He was really praising this man, but he was not referring to a "fake execution" plan that ordinary soldiers could know.

He had seen through the other party's real means.

The fake execution was just a superficial plan.

What kind of inside information is it that a soldier can know?

This must be a deliberate spread of news, pretending to be "stupid", and if there are really accomplices who think that Barry is a fool, then he is the biggest fool.

On the day of the execution, Barry will definitely ambush in secret and wait for the thief who has not been caught in the city to leave the city - the other party will most likely have the mentality of "taking advantage of this opportunity".

And the thief's accomplice may also "take advantage of the situation" and enter the city to rescue people instead of robbing them.

Killing two birds with one stone, this is Barry's strategy.

Of course

It is not ruled out that the other party is really stupid, and Yevlit just thinks too much about this possibility.

The officials in the capital are not necessarily elites, and Yevlit has seen many fools.

‘Dang’

Yevlit dropped three gold coins, and the soldiers quickly caught them. His companions immediately came up to share them.

Some noise.

Yevlit ignored them, swung his cane, and strode into the city.

After entering the city.

He was a little hungry, but he didn’t rush to order something to eat.

Instead, he walked directly to the center of the city.

He found the city lord’s mansion here, and he inquired about some information along the way.

The one in charge here is the Shirashi family, and the mayor is the patriarch of the Shirashi family - Baz Shirashi.

Baz is an ordinary nobleman, this is the foundation passed down by his ancestors - hereditary earl.

Baz is not a good person, but he is not bad either, and he has no talent.

Under his management, this city is neither particularly poor nor rich, everything is in order.

Yevlit went all the way to the street near the city lord’s mansion and booked a room in the hotel here.

Then he came to a snack stand and sat down.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The stall owner came over to greet him.

"Bring me a portion of your favorite dishes."

"Yes, sir."

There were not many customers at this time, so the stall owner was not very busy.

Yevlit looked at the back of the stall, where a little boy was sitting on a small bench, playing with a toy frog. He jumped when he pressed it, and looked bored. It seemed that this toy was no longer popular.

Yevlit took out a few cards.

He could do magic without relying on fraud magic!

He just shook his wrist and the cards disappeared.

His movements were a bit big, which attracted the attention of the little boy.

Yevlit showed him his hands, but he didn't see anything.

Then he grabbed a card out of thin air.

The little boy's eyes widened immediately.

Yevlit threw down the card, waved his hand, and took out another one!

Then he shook it slightly, and this one became four again!

"That's amazing, sir." The stall owner came over with the finished food and said, "I'll serve some first, sir, I'm still making the rest."

"Okay." Yevlit smiled and said, "Is that your child?"

"Yes, sir." The stall owner nodded.

"Come here, child." Yevlit waved his hand, and the child trotted over.

"Sir, eat it while it's hot." The stall owner said hurriedly. He was not worried about anything bad, but he felt that the other party performed magic for his child and delayed his meal.

"Ah, it's okay." Yevlit smiled and said, "Child, what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Lippi." Lippi answered politely.

"Do you like watching magic?" Yevlit asked with a smile.

"Of course I like it, sir, but watching magic shows costs money." Lippi said.

"Haha, wait until I finish my meal, and then I'll show you for free." Yevlit smiled.

"Sir, are you a magician?" The stall owner asked curiously.

"Yes." Yevlit smiled and said, "I am also a nobleman and a scholar. It's my first day here."

"Ah, noble sir." The stall owner was startled and quickly pulled his child back, looking respectful.

"No need to be like this. I went out alone and traveled around the continent without even a servant. I don't want to feel distant from everyone." Yevlit smiled.

"You are really a kind and benevolent noble sir." The stall owner couldn't help but say.

"But I am also a little distressed." Yevlit said: "I am a viscount, Mr. Baz is an earl. I am new here. According to the etiquette of the nobility, I should visit him, but I don't know what he is like and what he likes. In addition, these things have happened recently. The city seems to be not very peaceful. I don't know if there is a good opportunity."

"Sir." The stall owner said: "Mr. Baz has a daughter. The lady goes to the horse farm in the west of the city to ride horses every noon. Even these days, she has never stopped."

"She is about the same age as you, and both are nobles. I think you can talk about it. Next week, the lady will hold a birthday party. Maybe you can get an invitation from her."

What the stall owner said is not a secret.

He opened a shop here, and every day he could see the earl's daughter, wearing tight jeans, riding a horse, walking on the street.

She is the dream lover of many people.

Knowing that she is going to hold a birthday party, countless young men hope to perform well at the party and win her favor.

Some people have already implemented things like meeting her at the horse farm and showing their courtesy.

He just said what everyone knew. Whether the person in front of him could do it or not was none of his business.

"That's great." Yevlit smiled.

Even without using fraud magic, he was confident that he could get what he wanted.

For example,

becoming an important figure in the enemy.

It's not fun to just be hunted down.

If he could get to the top of this country by deceiving people with words, and it would be best if he could personally lead the wanted list, that would be very fun!

At night.

Yevlit used the harpy's teleportation to report safety to everyone.

Everyone in Fairy Tail returned to the home of the demon contracted by Gray and Juvia - the flower field to stay temporarily.

They didn't understand what Yevlit was going to do, but Mirajane judged from the few sentences in the letter he delivered that Yevlit had something he wanted to do.

So, everyone was not in a hurry and came here to stay.

The next day.

Yevlit came to the horse farm.

"Sir." The staff had not yet started the formal questioning.

Yevlitt took a stack of money and said, "Give me the best horse and the best gun."

"Yes, sir!" The staff's eyes lit up immediately.

This is a big customer!

Soon.

Yevlitt changed into a set of riding equipment.

He climbed on the horse and took a long gun.

"Sir, do you really not need a coach?" The staff was a little worried.

"Are you questioning whether a hereditary noble knows the etiquette of riding and shooting?" Yevlitt asked back.

"I dare not, sir!" The staff was shocked.

"Humph." Yevlitt proudly squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse ran faster and faster.
