Chapter 197, Everit: It’s getting fun  The city gate.  “He is indeed wanted.” Evrit stood in front of the notice board and looked at it. They are wanted from above.  There were a lot of wanted posters drawn, but no photos. As for the wanted poster, as Evelit had expected, there were only some very active and identifiable people. Like Everit, a guy who rarely rushes to the front in fights, can paddle and catch fish, and never sheds a drop of sweat, naturally cannot be described in a big way. but But the turtledove and the harpy were up there.

Moreover, their magic (guess) and bounty are written on it.  Pink-haired woman: Magic - wind system, good at swordsmanship. The bounty 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.   Because of the possibility of being wanted. Turtledove was wearing a cloak, and Harpy was sitting on her shoulders and was also covered. She was standing here majestically, but it did not cause an uproar.  Commoners 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. "Evrit, Yevrit, look, Natsu's bounty is lower than mine." Habi whispered, his voice full of pride.  Even if Natsu can't use magic for the time being, according to his personality, he must be the most active.  It's just that 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?" Everit 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.” Turtle Dove saluted.  Ephrit put the small box in the bag. He lowered the brim of his hat slightly and held a gentleman's cane in his hand. He had no guilt at all and walked very calmly, with some aristocratic elegance.  He came to the city gate.  “Hello, sir.” The soldiers on duty at the city gate, who were of course the most discerning, nodded quickly and bowed.   Such nobles are often the most generous, and sometimes they even give a generous reward for the sake of face. as expected. Ephrit 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 longing written on their faces. Everit said: "What? Do you want to search me?"  At this time, everyone 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. Evrit did not want to be treated rudely like this. 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. Hearing Yefulit's question, a soldier said: "Of course not, sir, we are catching a thief. You can see that he is a noble or a big businessman, and he is definitely not a thief."  “Catch the thief?” Everit took out a second gold coin. "Yes, sir." Xiao Bing's eyes brightened and he explained: "A month ago, there were frequent thefts in the city, and many important people lost a lot of their belongings." "Until a week ago, Mr. Barry, who came from the royal city and was a powerful magician, almost caught the thief. Unfortunately, the thief ran too fast and she escaped." "But the thief is also injured, and since we have blocked the city gate, it is impossible for her to escape from the city." “Mr. 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 guard the city gates 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." Ephrit himself is really a nobleman, so he naturally knows how to pretend to be his identity. With the way he is dressed, if a soldier dares to question him, he will slap him twice with his backhand, and the other party will have to apologize and believe it at the same time.

 In a kingdom, there are too many viscounts, and ordinary soldiers will not recognize them. At this time, as long as you don't show your cowardice, it will be difficult to be exposed.  What's more, a lot of the opponent's attention is on the gold coins. "No, no, sir." The soldier was anxious, fearing that he had scared away an obviously wealthy nobleman, and quickly said: "It's just a little thief, it's no big deal. Anyway, within a week, this matter will definitely happen." fixed!"  Another soldier also said quickly: "Yes, sir, Mr. Barry has already said, wait three more days, if you haven't caught him yet," He approached Yefulit and whispered: "Just find a fake execution, which will definitely attract the other party to the city for rescue. In this way, we can catch the other party, follow the clues, and recover all the lost finances."  “What a smart man.” Everit smiled. “Master Barry is an official in the royal capital, so he is certainly very smart,” said the soldier. Evrit smiled. He sincerely praised this man, but he was not referring to a "fake execution" plan that ordinary soldiers could know about.  He has already seen clearly the other party’s true methods.  The fake execution was only a superficial plan.  A small soldier can know the inside story. What kind of inside story is this? This must be deliberately spreading the news, pretending to be "stupid", and if any accomplice really thinks that Barry is a fool, then he is the big fool. On the day of the execution, Barry will definitely lie in wait for the thief in the city who has not been caught to leave the city - the other party will most likely have a "take advantage of this opportunity" mentality. The thieves' accomplices may also "take advantage of the situation" and go into the city to save people instead of robbing them. Killing two birds with one stone, this must be Barry's strategy. certainly  It is not ruled out that the other party is really stupid, but Everit just overthinks this possibility. Officials in the royal capital may not all be elites, and Everit also sees a lot of fools.

Jephrit dropped three gold coins. The soldiers quickly caught them, and his companions immediately came up to share them.  A little noisy. Jephrit stopped paying attention to them, waved his stick, and strode into the city.  After entering the city.  He was a little hungry, but he was not in a hurry to eat.  Instead, we walked directly to the center of the city.  He found the city lord's mansion here, and along the way, he inquired about some more information. The people in charge of this place are the people of the Shirashi family, and the mayor of the town is Baz Shirashi, the head of the Shirashi family.  Baz is an ordinary nobleman. This is the inheritance passed down by his ancestors - a hereditary earl.  Buzz is not a good person, but he is not that bad and has no talent.

Under his management, the city was neither particularly poor nor rich, and everything was in order. Everit came to the street near the city lord's palace and booked a room in the hotel here.  Then we came to a food stall and sat down.  “Sir, what do you want to eat?” The stall owner hurriedly came over to say hello. 　　　“Take a share of whatever you are good at.”  “Okay sir.”  There were not many customers at this time and the stall owner was not particularly busy. Everit looked at the back of the stall. On a small bench, there was a little boy sitting, playing with a toy frog. He clicked and jumped. He looked bored, thinking that this toy was no longer favored. Evrit took out a few cards. He can also do magic without relying on deceptive magic! With a flick of his wrist, the card disappeared.  His movement was a bit big and attracted the little boy's attention.  Ephrit showed him his hands, but didn't see anything. Then he grabbed a card and drew a card out of thin air.  The little boy’s eyes suddenly widened.  Ephrit threw down this card, waved his hand again, and another one came out! Then with a slight flick, this one became four again! “It’s really awesome, sir.” The stall owner came over with the things he had prepared and said, “I’ll serve part of it first, sir, and I’m still working on the rest.” "Okay." Everit smiled and said, "Is that your child?"  “Yes, sir.” The stall owner nodded.  “Come here, child.” Everit waved, and the child trotted over. “Sir, you can eat it while it’s hot.” ​​The stall owner said quickly. He wasn’t worried about anything bad, he just felt that the other party was performing magic tricks on his child, which delayed his meal. “Ah, it doesn’t matter.” Everit smiled and said, “My child, what is your name?”  “Sir, my name is Lippi.” Lippi replied politely.  “Do you like watching magic?” Everit asked with a smile. "Of course I like it, sir, but it costs money to watch the magic show." Lippi said. “Haha, I’ll give you a free show after I finish my meal.” Everit smiled. “Sir, are you a magician?” the stall owner asked curiously.

"Yes." Everit said with a smile: "At the same time, I am also a noble and a scholar. It is my first day here." “Ah, noble lord.” The stall owner was startled and quickly pulled his child back with a respectful look. "It doesn't have to be like this. I went out alone to travel across the continent without even a servant. I don't want to feel distant from everyone." Everit smiled.  “You are really a kind and kind noble man.” The stall owner couldn’t help but say. "However, I am also a little troubled." Evelit said: "I am a viscount and Mr. Baz is an earl. I first came here. According to the noble etiquette, I should visit him, but I didn't know What kind of person he is, what he likes, and these things have happened recently. It seems that the city is not very peaceful, and I don’t know if there are any good opportunities. " "Sir," the stall owner said, "Mr. Baz has a daughter. That lady goes to the horse farm in the west of the city to ride horses every noon. Even these days, she never stops." "She is about the same age as you, and they are both nobles. I think you can get along with each other. Next week, that 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 count's daughter, wearing tight jeans, riding a horse, walking through the street.  She is the dream lover of many people.  Hearing that she was going to hold a birthday party, countless young men hoped to perform well at the banquet and win her favor. Some people have already implemented things like going to the racecourse to meet someone and show courtesy. He is just saying something that everyone knows. Whether the people in front of him can do it or not is none of his business.  “That’s great.” Everit smiled. Even without the use of deception magic, he is confident that he can get what he wants. for example  Become an important figure in the enemy or something.  It’s not much fun to just play and be chased. It would be very fun if he could rely on verbal deception to get to the top of the country, preferably by personally leading the arrest! night. Ephrit used Hapi's teleportation to tell everyone that they were safe. Everyone in Fairy Tail returned to the flower field where Gray and Juvia made a contract with the devil to stay temporarily. They didn’t understand what Everit wanted to do, but Mirajane judged from the few sentences in the letter he delivered that Everit had something he wanted to do. So, everyone was not in a hurry and came to stay here. the next day.  Ephrit came to the horse farm.  “Sir.” The staff has not yet started any formal inquiries. Ephrit took down a stack of money and said, "Bring me the best horse and the best gun."

 “Okay sir!” The staff member’s eyes suddenly lit up.  This is a big customer! soon. Ephrit changed into a set of equipment for riding horses.  He got on his horse and held a spear.  “Sir, do you really don’t need a coach?” The staff was a little worried. “Are you questioning whether a hereditary nobleman knows how to ride and shoot etiquette?” Everit asked back.  “I don’t dare, sir!” The staff member was startled.  “Hmph.” Everit proudly pinched the horse’s belly, and the horse started running faster and faster.  (End of this chapter)
