After getting their feet on the ground, the Leopard Man warrior finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even he himself didn’t know what was going on with him. Why did his long-lost fear of heights suddenly attack again? When he went on an adventure with Bediwell and others, he was obviously flying high in the sky in a hot air balloon, but he was not afraid at all.
Don't be afraid.
Da Mao subconsciously loosened the tie around his neck a little, and then he finally understood what was going on. It was this suit. In the previous adventure, he wore loose clothes, which made it very convenient for him to move. If there was an emergency, it would be easy.
He can respond in time. But now, this monkey suit restricts Big Cat's movements. His whole body is like being tightly bound by a rope, and he cannot respond to emergencies.
Maybe it was instinct, or maybe his body had already seen through it. When Palamedes wore this suit and entered a high and dangerous place like the revolving restaurant, Palamedes subconsciously felt scared.
.
Palamedes, who became the Emerald Knight, is closer to the "beast" than other orcs, and his senses are also more acute, and he can detect dangers lurking in the environment early. Thanks to this excessive sensitivity, Palamedes
It turned out that Sibi was even more afraid of heights--at least when he was wearing this monkey suit with many restrictions.
"Cheer up..." He said to himself as he walked out of the hotel: "There is a dinner party tonight, how can you feel so weak now?"
In order to soothe his nerves, Palamedes decided to walk towards the beach first. Anyway, there were still about twenty-five minutes before the dinner started, and the high-speed elevator was also very fast. He could go back to Tianjie Restaurant in a few minutes, so there was plenty of time.
Maybe a few breaths of the sea breeze could soothe his nerves and calm the frightened beast inside him? Who knows.
Just as Palamedes was walking towards the beach, a figure quickly ran past the leopard man.
"Wow! Pay attention!" Big Cat scolded. Fortunately, the other party did not hit Paramedes. He was wearing this high-end rented suit. If it was scratched and damaged by passers-by for no reason, this suit would be damaged somewhere.
Who should I ask to pay for the money?
The man seemed to be in a hurry and ran away regardless of Palamedes' scolding. Judging from his tattered cloth, he must have been from the slums. Although the Cairo Grand Hotel is a place where rich people gather
It is a place, but it was deliberately built next to the beach on the outskirts of the city in order to have a good view. However, there is an unsightly slum near it. The poor people occasionally come to beg next to the hotel, which is quite annoying.
"No! Stop him quickly!" Palamedes was just distracted in his thoughts, but another voice brought Big Cat's thoughts back to reality: "That man is a thief!! He snatched my handbag!!"
The big cat came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound. The person who just spoke was a woman... I guess. Her whole body was tightly wrapped, and the part between the headscarf and the veil was exposed.
Through a small slit, two eyes were looking desperately at Palamedes.
This is a typical Arab female attire. Their culture does not allow any part of women's skin to be exposed in public. Even in such a hot place, it must be wrapped so tightly. And Parami, who has been studying etiquette class all afternoon
Dis also recognized the woman from her veil and headscarf as a widow whose husband died of natural causes at the end of his life.
Palamedes took a look at this poor woman whose clothes were slightly old and had a few scattered patches on her clothes, and then turned to look at the escaping thief. The thief had already run far away, and he
The back almost completely disappeared under the street lights on the coast.
"Grandma, that person robbed your handbag?" Palamedes scratched his head and asked helplessly: "That person... I'm afraid I can't chase him back. What do you think of this? Tell me
How much is your handbag and the belongings inside it worth? I'll give you the money and let you buy a new handbag, okay?"
"No!" The woman's trembling voice came out through the veil, slightly blurry: "The handbag contains my husband's relics. To me, they are priceless treasures and cannot be bought back!"
Palamedes was stunned for a moment and looked at the poor old woman again. Then he took off his coat and stuffed it into the old woman's hands: "I understand. Please help me get my clothes and wait here."
"
"Sir, do you plan to ------?"
Whoosh!!------ Before the woman could finish her words, Palamedes was already running at full speed, chasing the thief in the direction of his escape!
As the fastest among the leopard men, Paramedis can run at supersonic speeds. Even if his magic power is sealed, mere humans are no match for him! Moreover, with his keen sense of smell, he can track the thief's scent.
Chasing him to the end of the world is definitely not a problem!
"You kid!------" The big cat immediately caught up with him, ran behind the thief and roared: "Stop!!"
Bang! Palamedes knocked the thief down with just one blow of his hand. He was too lazy to pay attention to the thief anymore, took back the old lady's handbag and ran back.
"Grandma, this is your handbag!" The big cat ran back at an astonishing speed, almost frightening the woman: "Please check to see if there is anything missing?"
"Thank you, young man." The old lady didn't open the handbag at all. She just weighed the handbag to make sure that there was nothing missing. She probably knew how heavy the contents in the handbag were.
Then she glanced at Palamedes again and quickly looked away: "You are really a noble person. In order to help me recover the bag, you would rather suffer injustice yourself."
"Uh... Well, it's nothing..." Palamedes knew what the old woman was talking about. At this moment, the Leopard Warrior was awkwardly covering the front and back of his crotch with his hands.
------Yes, he just ran at full speed to chase the thief. And this high-end but extremely delicate suit naturally couldn't stand such a rough move by Palamedes, and it tore from the crotch.
A big hole was made, enough to completely expose two-thirds of the leopard warrior's crotch. Paramedis sighed secretly, he was really unlucky. He was going to attend a dinner party soon, but here he was.
Sometimes trouble happens for no reason!
Moreover, the biggest problem is that this [Horus Brand] high-end suit was rented! If it was damaged like this, he would probably have to pay a huge fine! Paramedis secretly cursed himself for being obsessed.
Yes, there should be a limit to how much you can help others. Helping others actually puts you in trouble. Is he crazy?!
"Are you troubled?" The woman saw the uneasiness on Palamedes' face and asked directly: "You are so kind to me, do you want me to patch your pants for you, grandma?"
Palamedes couldn't hide the frustration on his face: "Repair it...it's impossible. The pants have been torn to this extent...and I have a banquet to attend in twenty minutes."
....."
"Twenty minutes? It's more than enough time. Grandma, I promise to help you repair your pants until they are as good as new. No one will be able to spot any flaws. ------Or, do you not believe in my skills, grandma?"
"No, where..." Out of respect for the elderly, Palamedes did not dare to say no. Although he did doubt how good this old woman's craftsmanship was.
Looking at this old lady's outfit, I'm afraid she has only worn coarse cloth clothes from the poor in her whole life, and has never known how fine the tailoring of a super high-end brand like [Horus Brand] is. Sure enough, it is caused by ignorance.
Are you confident? Palamedes couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Okay, it's settled." The old woman walked towards the alley of the slum: "The big house in my hometown where I lost my wife is not far away. Time is running out, so come with me."
"This------" Palamedes wanted to refuse politely, but then he thought, since his pants have been (can be considered) completely ruined, he might as well be a dead horse and become a living horse doctor.
It doesn't hurt for the old lady to mend it.
If nothing else works, Paramedes can borrow a pair of her husband's trousers from the old lady's house to top up the money. As long as the colors are similar, today's dinner can be passed through --- it's better than him going there in a hurry now.
Should I buy new pants quickly in a clothing store (and the nearby clothing stores have already closed)?
Full of uneasiness, Palamedes followed the old woman. They walked through several side streets and alleys in the slum, and finally came to a very inconspicuous square room. Under the dim and yellow street lights, the old woman
Slowly he took out the key and opened the door.
"Come in. Just don't dislike the mess here." The old lady opened the door and walked in. As she walked, she explained: "This old house has not been inhabited for a long time. Today is the anniversary of my husband's death, so I only come back occasionally to mourn."
Just a moment."
"I see... I'm really bothering you." Palamedes still kept the awkward posture of covering his crotch with his hands before and after, and tiptoed into the room.
The old lady said it was dirty here, but it was not at all.
Although the house is poor and dilapidated, and the ceiling and walls are cracked and yellowed, the house is kept very clean and tidy. The tablecloths and bedsheets in the entire living room (which is also the bedroom) are very clean white, and the floor is spotless. There is no such thing at all.
It feels like it has been dusty for a long time. A faint lavender aroma fills the house. It is estimated that the owner of the house often sprays the room with antiseptic and anti-mold spices purified from some natural plants to prevent the corners of the walls from becoming moldy due to long periods of absence from sunlight.
Although the grandma is right, no one has lived here for a long time, and it feels cold and unpopular, but maybe the grandma or her neighbors and friends come back regularly to clean the place.
In short, this is a very neat house. No matter how poor the people who live here are, they are never in poverty. They are very good at living.
The old lady sat by herself at the table, opened her handbag, and said in a tone as calm as the windless sea: "Okay, young man. Take off your pants, find a stool and sit down and wait."
