Chapter 717: Chapter 572: Situation_3
Spade was quite satisfied as he replied.
Su Mo and Rose nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Spade lifted his head to look at Su Mo and Rose and revealed a faint smile, the serious expression on his face dissipating a great deal. He suddenly said something that came out of the blue.
“You two probably haven’t eaten much today, have you?”
Su Mo and Rose showed a hint of embarrassment.
“Not quite accustomed to it.”
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do, you should at least give the other party some face. However, if you’re not accustomed to it, don’t force yourself. There won’t be much happening next, I will take my time contacting Beilo myself. You don’t need to follow me; go out and walk around as you please. After all, it’s entirely normal to take a stroll when you’re not full, right?”
Spade said with a smile.
After a moment of surprise, Su Mo and Rose quickly caught on.
Spade was allowing them to move about freely and was subtly encouraging them to go out and gather information about Yanas civilization.
“Do you mean to say, Lord Spade?”
Rose asked uncertainly.
“It’s good that you understand.”
Spade did not spell it out explicitly.
Rose quickly nodded in response.
“Shall we go find something to eat then?”
Su Mo tentatively suggested.
“Wait a moment, don’t be in such a hurry, I have something for you,”
Spade, in a particularly good mood, said, then he walked over to his suitcase.
Then Spade opened his suitcase, revealing a vast number of round deep blue coins inside. These coins, made from special metallic materials, had an excellent luster and, from within or perhaps due to the materials themselves, emitted specks of starlight.
Su Mo asked, feeling slightly familiar.
“These are Star Coins.”
Rose recognized them instantly.
Upon hearing Rose’s words, Su Mo looked carefully since it was his first time seeing real Star Coins, and he couldn’t help but admire the quality.
Spade spoke to Su Mo and Rose, “Take some each. Shopping on the street always requires payment. The exchange tickets won’t circulate here since those are just our own vouchers after all. One more thing, though Beilo has promised that they would cover all expenses here, as members of the Federation, we have our principles and pride. We absolutely cannot allow ourselves not to pay when buying things, and we also cannot accept any gifts secretly from the other party.”
Su Mo and Rose responded in unison.
Even if Spade had not instructed them so, Su Mo and the others would never have accepted gifts indeed.
“Also, a little tip for you: in unfamiliar areas, you can look for people you know. This can serve as an entry point. It allows you to understand this unfamiliar civilization much quicker. Of course, be natural about it, don’t make it seem too deliberate.”
Su Mo and Rose inferred the subtle implication in his words, and they replied,
Following that, Su Mo and Rose each took a handful of Star Coins and left. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fire·net
Before long, Su Mo and his companion arrived at the exit, where several guards of Yanas Kingdom were stationed, the captain at the front saluted and asked them,
“Respected guests, may I ask if you are going out?”
“Yes, we found the banquet food a bit unfamiliar to our taste, so we thought of going out for a walk and maybe buy something to eat. Is that not allowed?”
“Lord Beilo has instructed us that you are honored guests and may come and go from Green Gore City freely. However, for your safety, may I ask if you need us to assign someone to follow you?”
“That won’t be necessary, we are combatants ourselves and don’t need those.”
Su Mo responded with a smile.
“Alright, there is no issue then. Just take note to avoid conflicts with others as much as possible. If there are any insoluble disputes, seek help from patrolling soldiers. They will inform us, and we will give priority to resolving the matter for you.”
“Understood, thank you.”
Rose said with a smile and a nod.
Soon the two left the building that resembled a small palace.
Su Mo turned his head to Rose, attempting to ask,
“Rose, do you want to go around on your own, or?”
“Being unfamiliar with the place, do you mind if we go together?”
Rose asked with a smile.
“Um, I don’t mind that,”
Su Mo thought for a bit and responded, of course, deep down he’d prefer to wander alone. But naturally, Su Mo wouldn’t say that—it would be a sure way to offend.
“You’re making it sound so reluctant. Not afraid your girlfriend might find out, are you?”
After spending time with Su Mo, Rose had gotten to know a bit about his character, so she took pleasure in teasing him.
“Ahem, no such thing.”
“Then let’s go together.”
Rose replied with a laugh.
Elsewhere, inside a room decorated very cozily,
Beilo was reviewing some documents when a knock on the door sounded.
Beilo replied indifferently.
A woman with cat ears entered respectfully and bowed to Beilo,
“What is it, Xiao Mi?”
Xiao Mi reported respectfully, “The two main combatants from the Federation have left the rest area under the pretext of hunger and are heading to the bustling main city area.”
“Should we have someone follow them?”
“No need, the whole of Green Gore City is under surveillance. Moreover, sending someone to follow them would easily be noticed by the other party. Those two are Federation experts; their skills won’t be lacking.”
