Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Give me a map to Canglv and a pen." Bumblebee took out a gold coin and handed it over. The waiter's reaction was exactly the same as the proprietress's.

"Oh, my dear, you have to be more discreet. The city has been in turmoil recently. You don't have any guards around you, so you can't show off your wealth easily."

The guy quickly covered Jingio with his sleeves and glanced around with a strong sense of stealth.

There have been many robbery and theft cases near the business recently, and some of the thefts were even committed by patrolling soldiers who broke the law knowingly. The business was already in a recession after the disaster, and this has made them even more miserable.

"Alas, I don't know what the Lord Watcher is thinking. If we leave those guys alone, won't it be even more difficult to rebuild the economy?"

The guy shook his head, and when he saw Bumblebee staring at him, he instantly lost his temper.

Oh no, I wonder if this girl will spread my words.

"Uh...hahaha, I was just complaining a little bit just now, girl, don't mind it."

"Oh, I was waiting for you to give me the map."

After hearing this, the guy hurriedly bowed and apologized, handed the map over with both hands, and wrapped up the found Geo in a cloth bag again, and handed it back to Bumblebee with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"You'd better hire a few more guards. Our company has this kind of service. Would you like to try it?"

"I do not need."

Bumblebee simply shook his head and refused, took the two things and left, leaving the guy standing there and sighing, looking at the sentries passing by the door, spreading his hands and raising his eyebrows. He felt that he had hinted clearly.

"Oh, what a girl who doesn't listen to advice."

......

"Damn you, White King. You didn't even let me take a break after the battle. I'll hang you on a street lamp someday."

Mo Rong stood on the elevator leading to the City of Tears, looking unhappy.

He had originally planned to go to Zemore's residence after learning the Dream Gate and ask her for a delicate flower. However, the sentry stationed there told him that Zemore had not returned home for a long time, so he naturally came to nothing.

Now I think I have to go to the palace, otherwise I don’t know when she will come back.

The iron gate opened and Mo Rong stepped out of the elevator, when a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him and stopped him in place.

"Please show your nail holding permit, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the city."

Looking up, he saw several sentries standing lazily in place, looking Mo Rong up and down. Seeing that he was wearing shabby gray cloth, their eyes showed disgust.

"I should have asked Delia for a medal proving I was the champion. What a hassle."

Mo Rong didn't notice the sentry's expression. He lowered his head and muttered as he took out the bag containing Geo, preparing to go through the "routine procedures". However, before he could open it, the short and fat sentry in front of him snatched it away.

The cloth bag was torn open by brute force, and golden and silver rays flashed in several pairs of greedy eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a guy, he's really well hidden, and we finally caught a fat one."

The short and fat sentry did not conceal his voice at all. He held the cloth bag and turned around to show it to his colleagues, as if he was showing off the spoils of war, without avoiding Mo Rong at all.

"...Okay, I'll give it back to you. You look so pitiful. I'll give you these as well. Take them."

"Leave quickly after you get it. My brothers and I are tired. Let's take a nap here. Don't think of reporting us."

Mo Rong nodded rapidly, took several cloth bags of Geo from the sentinels, and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the capital, the sentinels are of high quality."

"Of course, soldiers and civilians are one family, hahahaha——"

Of course, this almost-evil ending was all Mo Rong's imagination. The fact was that he wanted Geo back but the sentinels wouldn't give it to him, so he had no choice but to intimidate them.

It must be said that being young is good, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down.

"As a sentinel, you dare to rob openly. If Lu Ruien saw this, he would peel off your skin. Fortunately, you met me."

Mo Rong put away the cloth bag, shook his head and walked towards the city.

The impact of the riots has lifted the veil covering up the bad character. It will probably take a while for the City of Tears to recover its former glory.

However, the problem of order would probably be solved soon, and with swift means. After all, if I guessed correctly, Lu Ruien would not have much time left.

So does he.

During the time when he was pulled into the dream world by the Radiance, he had already deeply experienced the difference between the game and reality. Let alone contending with it, he would not even be able to touch the Radiance himself if it were not for the stone steps raised by the White King. His overwhelming moves were still fresh in his memory. It was a pipe dream to want to defeat the Radiance on this basis. At least his own strength was far from enough. Moreover, if he could not change the course of history at the upcoming turning point this time, it would be even more difficult to save it later.

He needed power, power close to that of a god, or even power to kill gods.

......

"Brother, that's a noble's child. Are we sure we want to do it?"

"Yes, yes. If we are discovered, it will be a disaster for us."

The four sentinels followed Bumblebee from a distance, their eyes were vague but their purpose was very clear, but most of them were nervous.

The sentry holding a spear at the front sneered and said disdainfully: "Humph, now you know why you can only be a younger brother."

"You and the rest of you, what are you afraid of? How can you accomplish anything?"

"Nobles? So what if they are nobles! In my place, nobles and commoners are equal, so you can rob them all!"

"But I just saw you, brother, paying tribute to the nobles in the east of the city the day before yesterday..."

Snapped!

"You are the one who talks too much!" The spear sentry slapped his younger brother in frustration, making the latter feel very aggrieved.

"I'm a sentinel. Can sentinels' work be called tribute? I did it in exchange for information. Listen, this kid is not on the list of existing noble descendants. At least I haven't seen him, so she..."

"I know! He is an orphan left behind after the war!" the younger brother answered quickly.

"That's right. Even if this kid has a background, so what? No matter how powerful her background is, can it be greater than those adults above us? Grab her!"

"Brother is right! Grab her!"

"Grab her!"

"Grab her!"

"Grab her!"

The spear sentry straightened his back and strode forward. He had already thought of a reason, and he would use the excuse of holding the bone nail to launch an attack. The things in the cloth bag with the baby's head were probably all Jingio.

I feel greedy just looking at it!

"Boss, when did you recruit this new little brother? He didn't even inform the brothers. His skin is so tanned that I almost didn't see him."

"Don't talk nonsense. I only have three of you as my brothers. If your eyes are not good, go get them treated."

"Um... who is he then?"

The spear sentries paused, and the four of them turned around at the same time, looking at the short man who was standing at the end of the team and looked out of place. Their hearts stopped beating for a moment in fear, and they pulled out the bone nails in panic and held them in their hands.

"Fuck, who are you?!"
