The Roth Empire starting a war on the orcs and the elves had caused the Norland Continent to descend into a tense atmosphere.


However, the people’s life in Rodu still wasn’t affected much temporarily.


There were still crowds in all the big and small shops, and the hawkers on the streets were still yelling and promoting their wares enthusiastically. It was a scene of peace and prosperity.


Compared to Chaos City, Rodu’s business atmosphere and the squares’ sizes were much greater. They could see interesting things everywhere. The children were so excited.


Mag became the cat-carrier. He carried all three women’s shopping in one hand and the national treasure in the other as he followed after them.


“Ring the goose, ring the goose! Five copper coins for one ring. You can bring the big goose home when you ring it. You can braise it, barbecue it, or make it into a soup!”


“Come over here. Throw the darts at the wooden board. 10 copper coins for 10 darts. You can choose any beautiful gift as long as you hit the board!”


Lively shouting could be heard from afar.


“Goose!” Amy’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She pulled Annie along as she ran towards the stall a distance away. “Let’s see what ring-a-goose is.”


“Why aren’t there any new innovations…” Mag looked at all the crowded game stalls, and even though he sounded disdainful, he felt a sense of familiarity.


The ring-a-goose game stall was surrounded by many people watching. 20 to 30 geese were kept within a small fence. They squatted around scatteredly, and called out to the people watching with their necks stretched out.


A hunky man threw his last bamboo ring out with a sincere expression. Just as that ring was about to land on that big, fat goose in the center, the big, fat goose took a step backwards, and pulled back its neck.


“Sigh…” That man sighed heavily with a reddened face. Taking out more money, he angrily said to the boss, “Boss, aren’t your geese getting too smart? They know how to evade the rings.”


The lanky game stall boss chuckled, and quickly picked up the bamboo rings on the ground as he smilingly said, “Hehe, what are you talking about, dear customer? I can see that your technique is getting better, why don’t you buy another 10 rings? I’m sure you will get a big, fat goose home, and your wife is going to praise you for it.”


“One more time. One more time.”


The customers at the side cheered him on too. It was interesting to watch people try to ring the goose. It was even funnier when the person failed and looked frustrated.


That man hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and clenched his teeth as he said, “Forget it, I have already bought 50 rings, and I didn’t even get myself a feather. Nobody is able to get these geese.”


The boss took the money, and smilingly said, “What are you talking about, dear customer? A young man just won two geese earlier. My geese are good geese.”


Right at that moment, a soft voice said, “I would like to have 30 rings.”


The boss scanned the crowd around before his gaze landed on a little girl standing in a corner. The little girl looked about three or four years old. She was little and exquisitely cute.


“Little girl, do you want to ring a goose?” asked the boss smilingly.


Amy nodded, and seriously said, “Yes. You have 30 big, fat geese here, so I want to have 30 rings.”


“This little girl wants to win one goose with each ring?”


“This little girl is so adorable, and she speaks so adorably too.”


The people gathered were all looking at Amy with a smile.


“I didn’t even get one goose with 50 rings. This little girl is quite boastful. She wants to catch 30 big, fat geese with just 30 rings.” The man who was trying to ring the geese earlier was also laughing.


“You will need to pay money to ring the geese. Where are your parents? One ring costs five copper coins,” the boss said smilingly. This was a little sucker who had sent herself right to him.



This little one would have trouble just to lift the bamboo rings up, let alone toss them out to ring the geese.


One had to know that this group of big, fat geese had been specially trained by him since they were born. Their skills at evading the rings were already perfect. Not to mention a four-year-old child, even a knight might not be able to get them.


“I have money.” Amy took out two silver coins, and gave them to the boss. “Give me 50 copper coins as change.”


“This…” The boss looked around. He wasn’t in a hurry to take the money.


Mag and Irina went forward, and smilingly said, “Let the child play if she wants to. We saw that.”


“Woah. This family really looks good.”


“Yes. The father is the ugliest in the family.”


The onlookers noticed Mag and his family, and their eyes widened.


“What ugliest in the family… How can they speak like that?” Mag rolled his eyes. Did these people think that he was deaf?


The boss heard Mag, and instantly took the money, and gave Amy her change in copper coins.


“30 rings. I’ll put them here for you. Take your time. We are not in a hurry.” The boss placed the 30 bamboo rings next to Amy’s feet.


The little ones were usually playful. 30 rings were most likely not enough, and she would most likely buy more later. Her parents looked rich too.


“Alrighty.” Amy picked up a bamboo, and surveyed the big, fat geese within the fences, as if she was considering which one to catch first.


The onlookers were all watching excitedly, and many were discussing if she could catch any.


They had been watching many people trying to catch the geese, but this was the first time they saw such a little girl trying to catch one. If those geese stretched their necks up, they would be taller than this little one.


Most of them didn’t think Amy could do it. After all, the little one even seemed to have trouble lifting up the bamboo rings, let alone tossing it out to catch the goose.


“How are we going to bring them back if we catch all of them?” Mag asked Irina worriedly.


Irina looked at all the bags and Ugly Duckling that Mag was holding and pondered. “We should be able to bring them all back if we hang them on your neck.”


“That will… be too flamboyant?” Mag imagined the scene whereby 30 big, fat geese were hanging from his neck, and couldn’t help frowning.


Meanwhile, Amy threw out the first bamboo ring. “Tossing you!”


The narrow bamboo ring made a beautiful curve in the midair, and landed on a goose’s neck before the big, fat goose could retract its neck. It spun around a few times before hanging on its neck securely.


“Wow. She got it!”


“This is… too amazing?!”


“Luck? Power? Shocking!”


Looking at the big, fat goose with a ring on its neck, the onlookers erupted into a loud commotion following a brief silence.


“Damn…” The big guy who failed to catch a single goose with 50 rings opened his mouth wide in a daze.


“This…” The boss was shocked too, and he stared at the bamboo ring that was hanging on the goose’s neck with disbelief. He only managed to squeeze out a smile after a while. He reached in to get that goose out, and said, “See, it’s really easy to catch these geese. This little child managed to catch one with her very first ring.”


The boss tied the goose up, put it to one side, and simultaneously told himself repeatedly, “Luck… This must be just luck. 150 copper coins. I’m still making a profit even when I lose one goose…”


“Tossing you!”


Then, Amy tossed out the second ring.
