Five days later, the city guards scattered leaflets in the streets and alleys of Aogu City. The content was very simple, and no one would be unfamiliar with it as long as they were old residents of the royal city. But this year’s rewards seemed a bit ridiculously high.<
/p>
The rabbit catching competition is an ancient custom that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It is a charity from the royal family and nobles of the past. It is also the most anticipated event after the New Year. In this so-called competition, the secret magic guild will compete with five rabbits that are branded with magic marks.
Hundreds of rabbits are all released, and the person who catches them, regardless of their identity, can get corresponding rewards as long as they hold the rabbit.
Among these five hundred rabbits, 400 are white rabbits, 80 are gray rabbits, and the remaining 20 are black rabbits. According to the standards on this year's flyer, each white rabbit will be rewarded with one gold coin, and each white rabbit will be rewarded with one gold coin.
The gray rabbit is rewarded with ten gold coins, while each black rabbit is rewarded with one hundred gold coins.
"Brother, brother, do you want us to join in? Have you caught these rabbits before?" Rikka, who was holding a flyer and sitting next to Boom, asked expectantly.
"Of course I have participated, and it even saved me a few days of food every year. But I have never caught it myself, but snatched it from others." Boom took the flyer and was a little surprised by this year's reward. p>
"Then the two of us will have to show off our talents tomorrow. It's best to catch a few black ones, hehe." Seeing that Boom didn't object, Rikka's little face instantly lit up with joy.
"You are still too naive. I don't know why others are participating in this rabbit catching competition, and I am not interested. But our main focus tomorrow should be on the wallets of those idiots." Boom replied in a shocking tone.
Said, causing the excited Rikka to calm down instantly.
The rabbit catching competition is an opportunity for the poor to gain windfall, and for people who are not short of money, it is a family activity after dinner. But a clever guy like Boom who is rotten to the core has other plans. Here
In one day, some people accidentally caught a black rabbit and got over it. Some people were beaten and persecuted for carrying a jade. Some people got nothing and even lost their money bags.
In the early morning of the next day, a magic bullet shot into the sky from the direction of the Arcane Union, and then exploded into a lion pattern. The people who had been waiting for a long time erupted in waves, and then dispersed in order to gain something as soon as possible. And Boom
He and Rikka also blended into the crowd at this time, but their goals were the stone houses in the slums.
"Brother, what will happen to us if we are discovered?" Rikka held the steel knife summoned from her belly in her hand and asked in a low voice.
"What will happen? Of course, we will be beaten first and then thrown into a dark cell. So we must be careful, especially you. Do whatever your brother tells you to do. Don't do anything arbitrarily." Boom turned his head.
He ordered in a low voice, his expression turned into a piece of ice again.
Today, the target of the two is not a rabbit, nor the mansion of a noble or a businessman, but the "upper class" in the slums. This decision is very wise, because although the former has many valuable things in his home, the guards are never there.
There are only a few, not to mention local snakes like myself, even ordinary mercenaries are not easy to approach.
Most of the people living in the stone houses in the slums are servants of the nobles or shop assistants. Although their families have limited money, they have easy access to it. Moreover, there is a large walking figure like Rikka next to him.
Storage bag, I guess today’s harvest will be no less than catching some bullshit rabbit.
"Take away everything valuable, yes, that gold-plated mirror, and those cheap jewelry." Boom was standing in a stone house at the moment, looking at the situation on the street, while reminding Rikka from time to time. This kind of scene never stopped.
The early morning lasted until the afternoon, and finally settled in the sunset.
But not long after the two left, there were some sounds of conversation not far from the alley.
"You shouldn't have come here. As a prince, you must have the consciousness of a prince." A somewhat old voice sounded slowly, and the words were full of helplessness and regret.
"Mr. St. Lex, although I have a special status, this is not the reason for you to reject me thousands of miles away. As you once said, all human beings should be equal." The person who spoke was none other than King Fernando of Augusta.
His youngest son, Jacob, who is under twenty years old. The other party is the king of the slums, Mockingjay St. Lex.
"To be honest, I prefer that you went out to catch rabbits today instead of meeting me." St. Rex, the mockingbird, stroked a black rabbit and said slowly.
"Why? Do you think those boring things are more important than searching for the truth?" Third Prince Jacob was a little puzzled and asked.
"It is important to search for the truth, but the prerequisite is to be alive. How can a dead person make a difference?" St. Rex, the mockingbird, said and suddenly waved his hand, and several small dark purple snakes condensed by magic appeared out of thin air, like lightning.
Passed through the chest of the third prince Jacob.
"Give this rabbit to Queen Isabella, and get rid of the bodies of those guards." St. Rex, the Mockingbird, seemed to be saying to himself, but another person appeared out of thin air in the shadows.
The dark night was dyed into day by the torches in people's hands, and the front door of the Secret Magic Guild was like a vegetable market. Countless poor people carrying rabbits lined up, taking their own share of luck into their arms.
Boom was leaning against the wall not far away, staring ahead with a very helpless expression. The reason was simple. After finishing their "business", the two of them should have returned to the black market, but Rikka was always begging for help.
Boom bought himself a rabbit. Unable to stand the other party's constant teasing, Boom secretly spent a gold coin to buy a white rabbit from a poor man.
Rikka, who was completely unaware of this, was very excited when she saw it. While holding the little fluffy thing in her arms, she urged Boom to go to the Secret Magic Guild.
"This is one of your gold coins. Come on and catch more next year." The staff handed the so-called reward to Rikka. Seeing that she was a cute little girl, they gave her a few words of encouragement.
More than half an hour passed by in a flash, and the two finally returned to the small courtyard in the black market. After confirming that they were not being followed, they entered the attic. The next thing was very simple. Rikka kept taking out the loot from her body, and clothed
Mu Ze calculated the total value on the side.
"Brother, we seem to have made a fortune!" Although Rikka was a little tired at the moment, the hard work of the day was not in vain.
"This is all thanks to your special ability. Otherwise, how could those precious objects be obtained so easily. It's better to hide the gold coins separately. As for the other things, wait a few days before you take action." Boom motioned to the other party earlier.
While resting, I casually opened a magic book and started reading.
The city of Aogu, which had been noisy all day, gradually returned to calm. The lucky ones couldn't sleep for a long time holding the gold coins, and the unlucky ones lay on the ground crying. However, in the palace, Queen Isabella was stroking a black rabbit at the moment.
There is no change in her expression, she is always so charming. Her clothes, which are obviously characteristic of the Principality of Cisse, are studded with colorful diamonds, and the huge dragon crystal pendant on her chest exudes majesty.
