Chapter 3 After drinking this cup, there are still three cups!(1/2)
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the sword light stabbed the young man's eyes with the reflection of the snow pile. The sharp blade easily broke through his unprotected throat, and blood flowed quietly.
Grey's tall figure was still sitting on the horse, holding the young man's head in his hand.
With a sudden sound, the spear in the young man's hand hit the ground, making a dull sound.
The city gate suddenly became chaotic and nervous, and the guards came out all over and surrounded Xu Nan and Grey.
They pointed their spears at the two outsiders in anger and nervousness.
However, Grey made a full gesture, and he looked down at the guards proudly:
"No one can be disrespectful to the nobles of the kingdom."
"What's more, this man pointed his weapon at the lord of Wildfire City, your lord...'s!"
His voice suddenly became louder:
"Is Wildfire City not the territory of the Eastern Kingdom?"
"Did the Icelander forget the vows?"
"Or, someone has ulterior motives to try to prevent the new city lord from entering the city?!"
"Do you want war?"
This guy is obviously a big fool. When the mercenaries who travel around the world see a lot of big scenes, they instantly grasped the hesitation and tension in the eyes of the guards, making the matter a little out of control.
Xu Nan knew that only by doing this can Grey ensure his safety and his as much as possible!
Wildfire City is very chaotic, but in name, it is still the territory of the Eastern Kingdom!
The young man's behavior just now did pose a provocation and threat. As the city lord's bodyguard, he has the right to deal with it!
People in the ice fields near the city gate were very indignant.
This nation, known for its blue eyes and brown beard, is already very xenophobic. The young people's sudden death instantly aroused public anger!
Many people surrounded him and tried to attack Xu Nan and the others, but they were stopped by the guards.
Guards are also difficult to deal with.
They are also Icelanders, but they have to consider far more than ordinary civilians.
News about the Lord of Wildfire City has been circulating on the ice field in the past few months.
This time, it is different from the city lord who was forcibly assigned by the Eastern Kingdom. It is said that this new city lord has a token!
The major families, gangs and forces in Wildfire City have all made oaths of allegiance to the token.
The people in the Iceland are assholes, but they value oaths.
I heard that there have been wandering scouts coming and going in and out of the Sebalon family, the largest family in the city recently, which is enough to make the guards even more conflicted.
They couldn't and dared not attack Xu Nan and the other two.
They were really nobles in the quicksand land. It would be a lot of trouble to kill them, and there might not be any war, but a few of them would definitely become scapegoats.
The guards looked at each other, at a loss, and just surrounded Xu Nan and Grey.
Grey cursed arrogantly, while Xu Nan pretended to be disdainful of talking nonsense to the common people. His acting skills could only be supported by his light eyes.
"The country people have little knowledge."
Seeing the guards at a loss, Xu Nan felt a little distressed.
The situation at the gate of the city became increasingly tense. Just as many civilians could not hold back and threatened to punish the murderer, someone suddenly shouted:
"Master Banes is here."
Everyone suddenly made way for a long way.
"Get out of the way, don't block the young master's carriage!"
"Young Master Banes must have taught these two foreigners a lesson."
"That's not necessarily true, if this person really has a token..."
Everyone was talking.
Xu Nan's heart moved slightly.
A carriage galloped over and stopped inside the city gate. A tall young man walked down from the carriage.
Unlike other Icelanders, he does not have beards, so he looks very young.
He looks very square and has a gentle expression, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. It can be seen that this Barnes has a high prestige in Wildfire City!
"This is Barnes Sebalon..."
"The eldest son of the largest family in Wildfire City! The Sebalon family controls the recipe of theron wine and is the earth emperor of Wildfire City."
"This person heard it is very popular in Wildfire City, because he often helps the poor and approachable. When you come into contact with him for a while, you'd better be careful not to expose your feet."
Grey whispered.
Banes walked over with a gentle smile:
"I'm late."
"I've heard a long time ago that the second lady from the quicksand land had already set out to the ice field, but she didn't expect to arrive so early."
“You are as beautiful as the one in the portrait.”
He waved his hand and let the guards disperse, with a very respectful attitude.
"On behalf of the Sebalon family and all the residents of the Wildfire City, I welcome Miss Su."
He bent down, all of which was the etiquette of the Eastern Kingdom, without the barbarity of the Icelanders.
Xu Nan was silent for a moment, pretended to be arrogant for a moment, and then jumped down rudely from the horse's back.
He didn't look at Barnes at all, but walked towards the city gate on his own.
"It's Mr. Su!"
He corrected it.
The whole action was completed in one go, perfectly in line with the characteristics of the gender cognitive impairment of Miss Liushadi in the data.
Banes was stunned for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and suddenly he smiled and walked inside with Xu Nan.
"I have prepared a banquet, please be sure to enjoy it."
"By the way, your servants?"
Xu Nan showed an angry expression: "All dead, a bunch of waste."
"We encountered five attacks in the south of the Sumanda Wilderness and the Ghost Mother Forest."
Grey said with a gloomy expression: "I suspect the attack has something to do with the people in Wildfire City, and I hope Mr. Barnes can help find out."
"check!"
Banes said righteously: "You must find out clearly! In the territory of Wildfire City, someone dared to attack my distinguished guests of the Sebalon family. It's simply unreasonable!" This sentence had some implicit meaning that Wildfire City was Sebalon's territory, not of a city lord.
"Mr. Su, don't worry, I will definitely find someone who tries to assassinate you!"
Barnes only called Mr. Su, not mentioning the city lord, and looked confident.
Too exaggerated.
Xu Nan sighed in his heart. This Barnes is probably the top talent in Wildfire City.
His acting skills are OK, but he has tried a little too much, and he is not as good as a high-level mercenary, Grey.
"Then please."
Xu Nan said coldly: "I'm hungry."
"Please follow me!"
Banes is quite gentlemanly, and next to him, there are naturally servants of the Sebalon family responsible for appeasement of the civilians.
The guards breathed a sigh of relief and made way out.
When he arrived at the banquet, Grey found an excuse to leave and said he was going to take care of the horses, but in fact he was looking for clues to the token.
Xu Nan was not worried that he would actually escape. After all, he had just arrived in Wildfire City. If something happened immediately, he would be a ghost if he could get his reward.
...
The food at the banquet was very rich.
The atmosphere is just a bit awkward.
After hearing that the "New City Lord" arrived, except for the Sebalon family, the other influential family representatives and gang leaders in Wildfire City arrived.
They had heard a little about the deeds of "Mr. Su" and found it a bit difficult.
First of all, this time is different from the past.
The city lords assigned by the kingdom were basically unlucky people with no background. They died and no one avenged them.
As the pearl in the palm of the Lord of the Quicksand, Su would have been favored if he had not been for his uniqueness. Even so, the Lord of the Quicksand would not completely ignore Su's life or death.
To be continued...
