Volume 1 Candy Warrior Chapter 70: The Trouble with Odda (Part II)
Just as Little Goku and Boboli set off to pursue the city lord of Oda City, the latter had already flown far away.
The city lord Geld flew first, and the wrinkles on his old face were wrinkled, and for some reason, the wrinkles deepened, and they did not ease down for a long time.
Behind him, there were Joan, Kings, and some young people from the City Lord's Mansion, who could not fly alone because of their lack of realm, and were surrounded and protected by Jelde's aura.
This group of young people was looking at each other at this time, and then quietly glanced at Jelde's back, and no one dared to say anything.
However, it didn't take long for them to see the old and thin back in front of them suddenly turn around, their entire brows twisted together, staring at everyone behind them, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were full of anger, and they were no longer as calm as they were talking to Little Wukong before:
"Look at you guys...... What stupid things have you done! I really didn't expect that if I sent you to Vega City for a friendly visit, you would give me this whole show?"
Hearing the old man's reprimand, everyone involuntarily lowered their heads and remained silent.
Geerde's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he slowly turned his head, looked around everyone, and exclaimed:
"What about so many of you, seeing that the situation is wrong, and you haven't thought to stop it?
There was a young man who looked up, and if Little Goku or Boboli were present at this time, he might have known this person. He was the first person on the side of the City Lord's Mansion to fight in the previous city-wide youth competition, Yubu. [β ]
Yub met Jelde's scrutinizing gaze all at once, and he mustered up courage in his heart, but he was still a little timid when he spoke:
"I ...... We were ready to stop him, but who knew that his anger would suddenly come up...... We have no choice but to take the bet, so it's ......"
Before Yub could finish speaking, he heard Jerde scold, and he was so frightened that he held back the rest of his words.
"What did I say before you left? Let you be cautious and guard against arrogance and rashness. The visit is mainly based on friendly exchanges, and it is not advisable to learn from each other in martial arts. You're fine, but you're mad at me!"
The more Jelder spoke, the more angry he became, and the aura surrounding everyone became a little disordered for a while.
Suddenly, he suddenly closed his eyes, and several drops of water appeared out of thin air around his face, and when the last drop of water flew into the sky, his previously closed eyes opened again, and his expression had calmed down.
Gerd let out a small breath, then set his gaze on the blonde man Kings, and said:
"Well, if this has happened, when will this bet begin? β
"It's seventeen o'clock," replied Gins, "and it's evening, and it will start in about an hour. β
Jelder nodded, turned his head away, and said no more, and the speed was already starting to pick up.
ββββ
Vega City, the closest city to Odda City, is not as large as Odda City, but it also belongs to the ranks of municipal cities.
Due to the proximity of the two cities, there is a lot of travel between the two cities. In addition to exchanges in the economic, cultural, and other fields, the two cities have also carried out friendly visits to the city lords' offices. It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between the two cities is very strong.
This friendly visit, however, was not very friendly, but on the contrary, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
At this time, in the center of Vega City, in the most prosperous area, in an open-air dueling arena.
There were countless onlookers around, and suddenly, people heard a burst of unhurried footsteps, turned their heads to look, and hurriedly moved to the side to clear the way for him.
In the middle of the road, there was a young man with a fluttering coat, walking towards the venue.
This person is obviously a man, although he is wearing a loose robe, he has long and silky hair draped over his shoulders, a pair of phoenix eyes are raised high, and his lips are as if he has smeared lipstick, so red that he almost oozes blood, plus extremely fair skin and elegant and decent posture, so charming that even women have to bow down.
After he came to the stage, he looked around, looked at the crowd of onlookers, stretched out an orchid finger, stroked the hair on his sideburns, and blinked his eyes contrivedly, looking very charming and disgusting. There are people in the audience who can't help but speak, and after being stared at by him for a while, after shaking his whole body, he no longer squeaks.
The crowd whispered, and when someone asked him why he was so arrogant, the insider replied:
"This Lord Sommel, at a young age, is said to have excellent strength in the middle of the Seven Realms, which should not be underestimated. β
"But putting aside his own strength, the key is that in addition to being a person from the City Lord's Mansion, he also has an extremely deep background, he is ......"
The insider's voice grew quieter and more cautious:
"Vega City's old family, the young son of the Auf family. β
When the man said this, he was silent, and was followed by a sentence similar to "How can you not be cross?" because he was afraid that the young people on the stage would hear it, so he didn't continue.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether this sentence is said or not, and whether it can reach the ears of young people, as the son of a family, even if he hears it, what can he do? If you really mind, it's a big deal to go to their house to "visit the door".
The young man, Sommel, had lost his charm before. At this time, he sat alone on the side of the field with a faint smile on his face, and in his smile was a touch of unruly color that could not be hidden.
Another man of the same age suddenly walked from the field, also in a robe, like Sommel's charming posture, he was full of heroism, some girls inadvertently saw it, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but secretly agree.
But the man didn't care about this, his eyes were all on Sommel, and he stared at him for a long time before sighing:
"You say you're really...... We used to have a good relationship with Oda City, but now that you have made peace, it is estimated that we will start to maintain it again. β
"The city lord is now going on a long trip, otherwise if we let him know, we will all be severely punished. β
Hearing this, Sommel didn't look at the man, his red lips opened lightly, and he began to transmit the sound. It's just that the voice fell into the man's ears, and it was a soft voice, which seemed a little sneering:
"Anyway, the eldest sister won't come back for a while, and when he comes back, everything will be dealt with, so why do you need him to worry about it. Those people in Odda City are too self-righteous, especially the stupid big one, and they are a little angry, and I have to teach them a lesson, and give them a lesson. β
The man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Are you 'a little lesson'? You all gambled and fought in the name of the two cities, and you actually said that you would go down, and the deputy city lord didn't care." β
"As long as she's not here, the deputy city lord can control me?
At this point, Sommel's voice regained its strength. He no longer spoke, but closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The man held his forehead, of course he knew Sommel's arrogance, and only the city lord could control him in the entire city lord's mansion. Although he was not here, as a colleague, he had to advise:
"After all, this thing is too big, you look around, it's all people, or ...... Shall we stop it?"
"Stop it, joke! I'm going to teach the people of Odda a lesson, people, you can't be so arrogantβ"
The man looked at him speechlessly, and complained in his heart: You yourself are too arrogant than them, and you still have the face to talk about them?
But he couldn't say this to his face, so the man could only nod and step aside.
At this moment, a path suddenly away was suddenly made in the crowd of onlookers on the opposite side, and Sommel got up gracefully and looked at the long-haired man who had come from that lane.
"Brother Oba, you're finally here! If you want to regret it at this time, it's too lateβ"
Looking at the comer, Sommel giggled, laughing wildly. Some of the people below couldn't help but cover their mouths and almost vomited all the overnight food.
The long-haired man Oba frowned, enduring nausea, and really didn't want to look at the increasingly "bewitching" young man in front of him. His eyelids twitched, and after all, he still glanced at the latter, and then immediately moved away, and said in a deep voice:
"I, Oba, have made a word, and it is difficult for the horse to chase after me, and I will never take back what I say!"
"Then don't forget, we're fighting a gambling war in the name of the two cities, and if you lose, don't forget to betβ"
After Sommel finished speaking, he covered his mouth again and "smiled".
"Hmph, don't worry, I've lost, it's a big deal to hand over the bet!"
Although Oba regretted it a little, the words had already been spoken, and he could only admit it.
And after Oba there were also a few people who came, and they were people who had not yet left the Lord's Mansion of Odda City with Joan and Kings and the others before. At this time, they tried to squeeze into the crowd, looking at the two people on the stage. After looking at each other, they both saw the worry on each other's faces.
Oba's spiritual sense was released, and he also noticed the aura of his companions, but they were missing Joan and Kings.
The long-haired man's heart tightened.
After receiving Oba's reply, Sommel smiled even more happily, clapping his hands incessantly, and coquettishly:
"Yes, it's Brother Oba, I like it so much. β
Not only Oba, but also the crowd below, some of them wanted to leave directly, but when they thought that this was a major event between the two cities, they had to stay, and their scalps were numb and continued to watch.
Oba was almost about to scold, but thinking that he represented the face of Oda City, he could only be silent after staring at the extremely charming ladyboy opposite.
At this time, people raised their heads. As a shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the field, a few seconds later, a middle-aged man descended from the sky.
As soon as the middle-aged man landed, he first glanced at Oba, and then looked directly at Sommel, and a little helplessness appeared on his resolute face.
"Okay, Lord Deputy City Lord, inviting you to be a referee this time is enough to give you face, right?"
Sommel twisted his slender waist and looked at the former with sparkling eyes.
The middle-aged man pouted slightly, and snorted softly: "Wait for the city lord to come back, see if she doesn't clean you up." β
"Don't worry too much about the deputy city lord, I'll explain it to her when the time comes. β
Sommel deliberately bit the word "vice" very hard.
Vega City's deputy city lord's cheeks trembled, but he didn't say anything anymore, turned to look at Oba on the other side, and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Oba, regardless of the outcome of this gamble, I would like to start by saying that. This time, you have come to our city for a friendly visit, and you have made such a fuss because of this kid, I will first apologize to you on behalf of Vega City. β
With that, the middle-aged man bent down slightly.
Oba hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists, and said:
"Thank you, Lord Vice-Mayor, but since this result has been achieved, we can only fight against each other. β
Sommel on the other side "cut", a little impatient:
"Deputy City Lord, can you hurry up, finish the fight early and end it early!"
The deputy city lord ignored him and nodded lightly: "I hope that after this gambling battle, the relationship between the two cities can be reconciled as before." β
Oba groaned slightly, and slowly bowed his head.
"That's good!"
The deputy city lord walked back, looked at the two sides in the posture of a referee, and said:
"As a referee, I announce that this gambling battle involving the three treasures or skill books of Odda City and Vega City starts now!"
