Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Murderer?
After a short time, two or three teams of city defense troops rushed into the alley.
The drunkards who reported the news were all human spirits, and they only picked out the key points, and the son of the commander of the city defense army took the people, and the soldiers on patrol were all red-eyed when they heard it, how could they not rush desperately.
Yilman finally confirmed Charles's identity with the city defense soldiers, and immediately regretted it.
He originally thought that this so-called Young Master Griffin was an apprentice privately accepted by the lord, but he didn't know that it was still in the entrance exam this morning.
I knew that I would have obediently gone to the entrance exam...
In the end, Ihlman had to pretend to inspect the carriage, and glanced at Cecilia who was sleeping with a pouting mouth a little reluctantly, and then left in a huff.
After sending away the troublesome young master Garrett, Charles walked towards Azek, squatted down and asked Yuri on the ground, "Special... Terry?"
Yuri is well-informed, and he can't have heard the news of Charles Griffin's safe return.
It's just that the Charles in front of him has changed so much that he can hardly believe his eyes.
At this time, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to squeeze out an ugly smile:
"Charles, great, you're back safely, you don't know how worried I am about you!"
Charles didn't answer, and looked at this familiar smile with a cold face for a long time:
"What the hell is your name? Yuri, or... Terry?"
Yuri lowered his head, his eyes rolled rapidly, hesitated for a while, and finally replied honestly:
"Yuri, Terry is a pseudonym that I asked someone to make. β
"For... Why?"
"Heh, you are a noble young master with an innocent family background, you don't understand..."
Yuri smiled self-deprecatingly and looked up at Charles:
"I lived on the streets at the age of five, making a living by begging and pickpocketing, and for more than ten years, I have been abducted and deceived in everything, and the name Yuri has long been rotten, which recruit camp is willing to accept a little deflated three like me?"
Ezek snorted slightly, and then let go of his collar:
"You're quite self-aware, but you're doing well in the outer city, why do you want to join the army?"
"Okay?" Yuri sneered as he tugged at his deformed collar that had been pulled, "Hehe, you call me a bear?"
"I know you guys got Charles back, so did you ask him why he went to that bullshit recruit trial?"
β...β
Azek was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think of the information he had collected before setting out to rescue Young Master Griffin.
Lord Griffin's third-class baron...
You can't attack the knight without military merit...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Charles, his eyes were a little complicated.
Charles didn't notice Ezek's gaze, his eyes were a little confused, and after listening to Yuri's words, he couldn't help but nod:
"That's... We've been in a squad, you know, who..."
Yuri's heart trembled: It's coming!
β... Pushing me overboard?"
"Huh, you're not... Lost his footβ" Ezek's mouth opened wide in shock.
Charles interrupted impatiently, "Waste... Nonsense, that's the St. Dolan River, am I missing an eye?"
Ezek pouted: Isn't it just a lack of heart?
"Tell me, who the hell is it?"
"Yesβ" Yuri looked torn between a few words.
Ezek let him sell at this moment, slapped the scabbard on his shoulder, and shouted in a deep voice: "Say!"
"I said I said," Yuri shrunk his neck, "It's Rhodes, the young leader of the Lions!"
"Is that him?"
Charles burped and frowned as he searched his memory for information about this Rod.
The Lion Gang is the largest gang in the underworld of King Arton, and its influence is spread across more than a dozen streets and alleys in the West Outer Ring, and even the richest business districts outside the West Gate are in its pocket.
Gang leader Ryan Kerrylac, who was born with a blue hair, is quite recognizable. He started from scratch, gained a firm foothold in the powerful West Outer Ring, and single-handedly formed the "Lion Gang".
Legend has it that he has at least the terrifying strength of the fifth level or above of the war general, and everyone who mentions him in black and white must respect him as a "green lion".
Ryan licked blood all his life, and only after he became famous did he marry a wife, and he has only one son so far, Rod Carrylac, who is known as the Crescent Lion.
In Charles's memory, Rhodes was a recruit in the same group as him, and at the time of the recruit trial, the two were also assigned to the same squad.
It's just that Rhodes is talented, and the crescent-shaped cyan blue crystal on his right upper arm has made him the focus of the crowd from the moment he walked into the camp.
Charles has been taught by his mother Anna since he was a child, although he is introverted and inferior, he has an aristocratic arrogance in his demeanor, and of course it is impossible to go around Rhodes like ordinary people.
So now that I think about it, Rod was indeed very unfriendly at that time, and he complained in front of Charles several times:
"It's really unfortunate to be in a group with a hunchback. β
Hunchback...
Damn...
A wave of anger hidden in the depths of his mind could no longer be suppressed at this moment, like a spewing of volcanic lava, covering Charles's mind in an instant:
"Luo... Virtue!"
Charles stood up slowly, and a visible silver wave of qi centered on him, sweeping away in all directions, and the broken sword fragments all over the ground "buzzed" and trembled, and some even slowly floated.
"Where's he?"
Yuri was scrutinized by him condescendingly, as if he had been covered with more than a dozen layers of soaked silk cloth, and it was even a little difficult to breathe:
"West Gate! West City North Lane ---"
In Azek's opinion, Charles at this moment is very unfamiliar. Maybe because he was drunk, his eyes were a little cloudy, not as bright as when he first saw him, and with the movement of metal fragments around him, he didn't know that Charles was already on the verge of breaking out:
"Charles, calm down, you're drunk..."
"Khooth!"
The only thing that responded to him was the dark shield blade that was thrown aside and embedded deep in the ground.
At this moment, Charles could no longer hear Azek's advice, he dropped his shield, turned around and disappeared into the alley.
Ezek hurriedly caught up with two steps, but he couldn't rest assured that the two who were still asleep in the carriage, so he had to turn around and bend down and pull out the shield blade, frowning:
"It doesn't make sense, why did Rhodes hurt Charles?"
As soon as Charles left, Yuri's pressure dropped sharply, and he stroked his chest and took a deep breath:
"The crescent lion has always been arrogant and domineering, this time joining the army is just a rank on the white road, as soon as the recruit trial is over, he immediately went to the city defense army as a deputy battalion commander. β
As he spoke, he stood up and patted himself with dust, his face gradually returning to that nasty cunning look.
"A team of eight people, except for me and Charles, the remaining five are all now following him as a military master in the city defense army, hehe..."
"What does this have to do with Charles?"
"Charles is a nobleman, although he was still a hunchback at the time, but there is arrogance in his bones, and Rod didn't like him from the beginning..."
Hearing this, Ezek pondered for a moment, then left Yuri, jumped into the carriage, and galloped away.
Yuri wiped his face and looked at the distant carriage with a happy smile.
Oh, lion... But it's going to eat people~
Charles, don't blame me, blame me...
That's too tempting.
