Different World Online

Time passed, and a dark week passed.

Steve hasn't changed much in this week, but Bobby has become visibly rounder.

You know, she is a big girl with a height of 12 feet (4 meters);

She has become much rounder, and one can imagine how many delicious foods she has stuffed into her stomach.

The feast was over, and Steve left Thorium Hall, taking Bobby with him and bidding farewell to the reluctant dwarves.

Behind him, the heavy city gate creaked and slowly fell down. Under the gaze of the dwarves on the city wall, Steve waved his hand casually, carried Alex, and walked towards the east.

Because of the killing in Silvermoon City, Steve planned to avoid the Shadow Forest of the elves, head east to the eastern coastline of the North, and then head south, bypassing Silvermoon City's sphere of influence and arriving at Waterdeep.

This is of course a long detour, but the risk is much smaller;

In the wild, the first long snow has ended, and the bright sunshine fills the earth, but it does not bring a trace of warmth;

The snow, as high as an adult human's chest, made Steve's movements very difficult;

But he had Bobby.

Sitting on Poppy's shoulders, Steve, wearing a warm wolfskin coat, looked into the distance.

Fighting in the snow is not a big hindrance to strength-based professionals, but for professionals who rely on agility, heavy snow is quite deadly.

Elves, on the other hand, are a race that is more agile than powerful.

Watching Bobby effortlessly walking through the thick snow, Steve said leisurely:

"Poppy, how long will it take you to become a glorious warrior?"

Hearing this, Bobby fiddled with the stick in his hand out of boredom, and after a moment's silence, he replied:

"Twice...two dwarven feasts!"

After saying that, Bobby raised two thick fingers and waved them in front of Steve.

"Is there any necessary connection between having enough food and becoming a warrior?"

"Yes, for an ogre, a full meal can clear his mind, make him smarter, and help him study with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Steve sighed helplessly.

Well, the reason is strong and it beats me!

They walked forward for an unknown amount of time. Just as the air became more and more humid, the endless sea appeared in Steve's sight.

The northern coastline, if Old Pete hadn't fooled himself, the eastern coastline should correspond to the Misty Sea;

As long as you cross this endless sea of ​​fog, you can reach the mysterious eastern continent;

Patting Bobby on the head, Steve pointed to the south.

"Let's go to Waterdeep, where there are endless delicacies and countless wealth waiting for us."

Hearing this, Bobby's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Hanging out with Brother Shi, eating nine meals a day;

As an extremely unpopular ogre, Poppy not only went to Silvermoon City, but also ate a lot at the banquet of the dwarves in Thorium Hall.

Now, Scott is going to take her to Waterdeep, the pearl of trade in the North;

Bobby said, what else do you want a bicycle.

After another two weeks of traveling, Steve and Bobby, both with big beards, finally arrived at this beautiful coastal city;

In the distance, there is a bustling port, with sails and masts densely covering the entire sea surface;

On the city wall, there were banners everywhere, and soldiers in standard armor were standing straight with spears in their hands.

There was still a long queue of people entering the city at the city gate. The snow on the ground had been trampled into pieces, mixed with the black soil, which was cold and muddy, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow.

The cold and long winter did not affect the prosperity of the city at all.

Approaching Waterdeep, Steve put away his iconic [Alex], jumped off Poppy's shoulder, and walked towards the team entering the city;

He had caused trouble in Waterdeep, so it was better for him to keep a low profile;

After all, he came here to make money, not to kill people.

Behind him, Bobby's appearance caused quite a commotion;

Although this eight-foot... ugh... twelve-foot lady was wearing expensive plate armor and standing behind Steve with an honest and shy look, she still made the passers-by queuing around her feel tingling with fear;

Soon, the commotion in the team attracted the attention of the guards at the door, and a soldier wearing chain mail and a sleeveless coat embroidered with a lion pattern walked up to Steve.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but your ogre may not be able to enter the city."

Hearing this, Steve pulled a friendly smile on his bearded mouth, rubbed his hands and said kindly:

“Soldier, she’s not an ogre, she’s my companion.

I can assure you that she is as harmless as the wheat in the rice field."

Hearing this, the soldier shook his head politely.

"Sorry sir, this is the rule. I'm just a soldier guarding the gate. Please don't make things difficult for me!

If you really want to bring... uh... your companion into town, the only way I can offer you is to rent a carriage with a cage..."

Here the soldier said no more;

His meaning was simple, Bobby had to be put in a cage before he could be brought into the city.

Obviously, Steve couldn't do that.

If Bobby were a fool he might have done so, but Bobby was a big girl with a sense of shame;

Is it appropriate to lock a grown girl in a cage and bring her into the city, where she will be pointed at by passers-by?

Rubbing his hands, Steve took out a gold coin without anyone noticing.

"Sir, she is really my partner, and she is also my bodyguard. Can't you be flexible?"

As he spoke, Steve used the cover of his body to scatter the gold coins into the soldiers' hands.

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, the soldier smacked his lips in embarrassment, then sighed:

"Sir, if you really want your bodyguard to enter the city and you are willing to pay for it, the honorary citizen certificate issued by the City Hall can help you."

"Can you tell me more about it?" Steve came closer to him with a smile.

"Of course." The soldier calmly put the gold coins into his pocket, cleared his throat, and whispered:

"For one hundred gold coins, you can get a certificate of honorary citizenship of Waterdeep from the tax collector Fagaso at the City Hall.

With this certificate, you can bring your bodyguard into the city to trade, stay in a hotel, and do anything that does not violate the law. "

"Great!" Steve took out another gold coin and put it into his hand without anyone noticing.

“Thank you for your message, kind sir!

But I had never been to this beautiful and prosperous city before, and I didn’t know where the city hall was;

Could you please take a moment to take me and my bodyguard to the City Hall to apply for this "Honorary Citizen Certificate" which sounds very impressive?

Please, I really can't leave my lovely bodyguard."

Seeing the gold appearing between his fingers, the soldier's eyes flashed with joy;

One gold coin was almost equal to his three months’ income.

Without thinking too much, the soldier nodded slowly, then took a step back, pretending to be serious and said loudly:

"I sympathize with your plight, newcomer;

How about this, you come with me, and I'll take you to the city hall to report your experience."

After saying that, the soldier winked at Steve implicitly, and the two smiled knowingly.

Leaving the long line, Steve took Bobby and followed the pace of the kind soldier.
