Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 119: Elf Elisa

Chapter 119: Elf Elisa

Nighttime

In some prosperous cities, some commoners would repurpose their extra rooms in their homes into guest rooms and rent them to customers. They would usually provide three meals a day and earn about three copper coins a day.

These small inns were the favorite places for small traveling merchants because they were much cheaper than the large inns. After all, having a meal and booking a room would cost more than a dozen copper coins a day. Only large merchants and nobles liked to go there.

Lil Lazy was currently living in a small inn in North Wind City. Niu Wu had given him quite a bit of copper coins, but he thought that he could save them for when he married.

I saved five copper coins again today. When I save enough for a silver coin, I will go to Lil Doggys father and ask him to let his daughter marry me. Lil Lazy carefully wiped the coins in his hand and put them into his inner pocket.

The inner pocket contained his own copper coins, while the outer pocket contained coins that Liu Feng had given him. They were called public funds, and Lil Lazy was allowed to spend up to 12 copper coins a day. He would have to pay up if he spent more than that and could keep the rest of the money if he spent less than the cap.

Lil Lazy didnt know why such an amazing thing existed, but he was extremely grateful to Liu Feng and Niu Wu. If it wasnt for them, he would probably be dead by now.

Someone knocked on the door, causing Lil Lazy to jump up and take out the short blade from behind him. He put the blade back into its sheath after hearing a rhythmic knock on the door, a secret code that he and his companions had previously agreed on.

Come in! Lil Lazy said, opening the door and letting the people inside.

Brother Lazy, theres hardly anyone coming to register today as well.Someone started complaining as soon as he got in. They dont believe that there is such a good thing. They also said that West Sun City is very poor and they are afraid to be made into slaves.

Who do those commoners think they are to be worthy of being cheated by Lord Liu Feng? Lil Lazy spat.

Exactly! Lord Liu Feng is such a good noble and was even willing to come here to save them, and yet they actually slandered Lord Liu Feng. I really want to beat them up.

Just after Lil Doggy left, a shadow in the corner of the wall moved and slowly walked out. She stood there, staring at Lil Doggy and the people leaving.

The person had a slender, s-shaped figure. She wore a black dress with a hood. She held a longbow in one of her hands and an arrow in the other hand.

Interesting. Theres actually a noble willing to take in beastkins? Or could it just be another trap? Elisa put the arrow back into her quiver. She had arrived at North Wind City two days ago and just wanted to see if there were any other elves here and hadnt expected to hear such interesting news.

Elisa pulled back her hood and shook her head, revealing and tossing her white hair, which shined in the moonlight. Her pointy ears were revealed for a bit before being covered by her hair again.

Yes, Elisa was an elf. A wandering elf, to be precise. She would go look for- more like rescue- elves every time she got to a new city. Some nobles were extremely obsessed with elves. Human nobles were take pride in owning elves. The king had even exterminated a duke and his whole family just to get an elf.

Unfortunately for them, however, the elf escaped in the end. The duke didnt even get to touch the elf before he was killed by the king, and the king was only able to see the elfs back and her long, white hair shining in the moonlight.

After that, all the nobles in the kingdom became even more obsessed with elves, and the white-haired elf, who had played the duke and the king, became famous.

Horse thieves? So thats why this citys security became tighter. Elisa thought about how she had almost gotten caught when trying to sneak into North Wind City the previous day and was baffled by the abnormally tight security. She hadnt expected to find the answer here.

How could there be such a kind noble in such a rotten and corrupted kingdom? I hope that those stupid beastkins arent so naive as to believe that

Elisa put her hood back on and stepped into the dark
