Chapter 18 Close View

Listening to the footsteps that followed, the old guard was a little nervous. He originally thought that the man who came to deceive the mayor with a fake product should be a shameless and despicable person. But after seeing Li Lin with his own eyes, he could not believe his judgment. What's more, there were three beautiful girls around this man. Will such a person deliberately go through a lot of trouble and take out a fake product to deceive the mayor? However, no matter how confused the order is, the old guard had no choice but to send a fake order, saying that the mayor had something to do in private and wanted to ask for advice, so he asked several people to go outside to discuss in detail - even he himself thought this lie was stupid. If this man was alone, I'm afraid the old guard would have drawn his sword and drove him out of the town.

I don’t know what the man was thinking. He stared at the guard for a long time and nodded in agreement. The man was not a fool, so how could he not see that there was a problem with this? God knows who he is and what he wants to do... Forget it, no matter what, just let them leave the town, tell them the truth at that time, and persuade them to leave at the same time.

After all, this is not a glorious thing, so the old chief guard is also afraid of being discovered. Otherwise, the rumors that the mayor's subordinates bully outsiders would be of no benefit to the reputation of the mayor. If this man was the kind of big and thick guy, it would be fine, but now he is just a well-educated nobleman, not to mention that he is surrounded by three cute ladies. As a man, the poor old man knew the damn curse of "beauty is the truth" as early as young. Even the female liars and thieves he had arrested before, even if they were not very good, they would sympathize with them even if they were not good at their appearance. Now that they are like this, if those girls cry, it will naturally be of no benefit to the reputation of the mayor. If those guys have rumors about "the mayor forcibly rob women", their good life will probably be over.

Seeing that he had already walked out of the town, the old chief guard stopped, turned around, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist, trying to make himself pretend to be serious.

"Young man, I regret to inform you."

He stared at Li Lin's eyes, but obviously the other party did not respond, which made him feel a little inaccurate.

"You have to leave this town right away."

"oh?"

Faced with the warning from the old man in front of him, Li Lin was a little curious. He didn't do anything, so why did he leave? Or did Angela get involved?

"Why?"

"This is the order of the Lord Mayor. You sell fake goods to the Lord Mayor. This crime will not be tolerated. Now, let go of the reward you received from the Lord Mayor and leave immediately."

"I think I need to justify myself, right?"

Facing the old man's stern shout, Li Lin still answered calmly. He smiled peacefully, as if nothing had happened.

"There must be some misunderstandings in this. Why don't I discuss it with the mayor?"

"this……………"

The old man was speechless for a moment. In fact, when he received the order, he was also confused. Why didn't he take this person over and confront him? Instead, he arbitrarily wanted to expel that person from the town by himself. This was a very rare order for the chief guard who was kind and upright by nature. However, after all, the soldiers took obedience as their duty, and even if he had questions in his heart, he would not think much about it.

Li Lin didn't care at all. Although he had guessed that this was a trap, Li Lin hadn't walked into a trap set by others for a long time, and it would be fine to come out and see. What's more, looking at the old man, he didn't seem to want to make things too big. Both sides actually had the same idea - if no one paid attention, it would be much easier to kill someone and silence him.

But in this atmosphere, the old man did not intend to act strongly, and Li Lin also did not intend to take action. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

"This, I think this is different. Young people... although I think..."

The old guard looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say. But at this moment, a shrill cry for help suddenly came from a distance.

Hearing this voice, the old commander guard and the two guards beside him were both stern.

"Go and see what happened!"

As they said that, they ignored Li Lin and others again, turned around and ran towards the place where the screams were made.

“It’s really boring.”

Looking at the figures of several guards leaving, Anjie said dissatisfiedly.

"I thought this group of humans would ambush hundreds of soldiers here..."

"I'm not a particularly important person, how could I be treated like this?"

Li Lin smiled and shook his head. He was obviously a little surprised by the young mayor's behavior. Because if the other party was a guy who was used to using such rogue means to seize property, then it should be as Anjiela said, ambushing more people. But now it seems that this plan is obviously not thorough and full of loopholes. What's the point of doing this?

"Owner."

Suddenly, Mina spoke.

"I smelled the beast."

"Me too………"

Fina raised her little hand and said she felt it too.

“And there are so many…”

"Why, will the beasts in this world migrate?"

Angela's expression did not change much, and she knew nothing about it anyway.

"Very good, but………………”

Li Lin frowned and thought about it carefully, but soon he smiled.

"I think we don't have to go back."

"Um?"

At this moment, the guards ran back in panic. They looked pale and held the weapons in their hands tightly. Obviously, they encountered something very terrible.

"Go away quickly! The beast tide is coming!!"

After shouting at the old guard, he turned around and hurried towards the town, not caring whether these people had followed. In his thoughts, it was probably well known to everyone and there was no need to explain this. But unfortunately, neither Anjie nor the sisters had any impression of the beast tide. So they just watched the old guard run into the town curiously. Then, in a short while, the rapid bell rang, and the town that had been sleeping was awakened. The soldiers took up weapons and rushed to the city wall, and closed the city gate tightly. Several torches were immediately lit on the city wall, which played a illuminating role.

"This is…………"

"Since it's just right, I'll tell you a story here."

Compared with the doubts of the three girls, Li Lin was relaxed and at ease.

"There are two different species of beasts on this continent, namely monsters and beasts. We have seen many beasts, but monsters are hard to see because most of them live in less popular areas and are rarely known."

Anjie nodded. She had seen a few of them, but she rarely met them since she followed Li Lin into a place with humans.

But even so, everyone is still very surprised. Why is Li Lin starting to talk about the animal world now?

“The next thing is the key.”

At this moment, Li Lin was just like teaching and said with a smile.

"There are not many monsters on the continent, and monsters are more intelligent and smarter than beasts. Therefore, they do not just stay in one place. In a specific period, they will gather together, migrate in groups, and mercilessly prey and destroy everything they encounter on the way... People call this beast tide."

At the end of hearing, Mina and Fina's expressions completely changed. They finally understood why the old man was so scared just now.

"Master, let's hurry up too..."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Angela interrupted Fina's speech impatiently.

"You are a noble blood-sucking species, the highest existence of the food chain. How can you be so scared by a few wild beasts when you move? As the master said, such a rare scene should naturally be elegant to watch from a close distance, right?"

It's still elegant, it's about to turn into a storm!

Although he complained in his heart, seeing that Li Lin and Angela both looked like an old god, the poor twin sisters could not refute anything.

Anyway, with these two strong men here, even if that beast tide is there, it may not be too much threat.

Although they had such thoughts, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw the terrifying beasts appearing on the edge of the horizon.

Countless monsters gathered into a terrifying ocean, moving forward in a mighty way, like a surging tide that could not be stopped. While they were running, even the ground began to tremble slightly. The strong aura of wild beasts was clearly heard by Li Lin, a human, not to mention the blood-sucking species.

"Master, we should......"

Just when Mina looked at the group of beasts that were gradually rushing towards here, obviously hostile, and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a bright halo appeared. Then Li Lin was isolated from the other three. Before the two sisters could react, Anjiela jumped quickly and stood on a branch not far away.

"Master?! You guys are...!!"

"I just thought of it..."

Li Lin's gentle smile seemed harmless, but both of his sisters felt a hint of coldness coming from behind.

"Practical combat is the fastest way to improve your strength, so, please work hard, two of you."

"Try to kill and survive."

Angela was on the sidelines to fuel the fire.

"As a blood-sucking species, if you can't even handle such a small problem, you might as well become the food for these wild beasts."
