King of Titans and Dragons

Chapter 386: Chapter 381: Capture the Rebel Chapter 386: Chapter 381: Capture the Rebel “The entrance fee to the city is ten coppers.” At the somewhat dilapidated entrance of a city, more than twenty soldiers stood behind the barricades, collecting fees from every adventurer, commoner, and merchant corps entering the city.

“Hmm? Just these few items?” A soldier rummaged through a pile of pelts carried by a hunter, looking rather impatient. This was just an ordinary hunter from a nearby village, who made a living by hunting ordinary beasts and selling their fur. However, these things weren’t worth much, so there wasn’t much advantage to be gained from him.

“Esteemed knight, I am only entering the city to sell these pelts.” The hunter, who had been wrestling with beasts in the wilderness to provide for his family, smiled at the city guard. He had already paid the ten copper entrance fee, but this soldier wouldn’t let him pass, still wanting to squeeze something out of him.

“Pauper.” The soldier, upon realizing the hunter truly had nothing of value, muttered under his breath. He casually pulled out a piece of good-quality gray fox fur from the hunter’s back and tied it to his waist. Afterward, he waved his hand impatiently, “Go in!”

“Thank you, sir!” The hunter, who had three visible claw marks on his face from a beast’s attack, and who had a strong, robust aura, walked into the city with a thankful smile plastered on his face.

Despite seething over the exploitation by the city guards, he could only hold back his anger. He was only a physically stronger common hunter with no special skills, struggling to provide for his family. As a middle-aged man with a burden to bear, he didn’t have the luxury of allowing his emotions to rule. He couldn’t afford to be capricious.
