Chapter 497: An Unexpected Conflict and the City Lord of Truman
With that little episode, everyone's mood to enjoy the food was slightly disturbed.
However, they are all people who have experienced life and death on the battlefield, and no one will really be upset because of some possible speculations, and after raising some vigilance in their hearts, they still eat what they should eat and enjoy what they should enjoy.
Except for the accident just encountered, the river-fresh food of this "Tulip and Beauty" hotel recommended by Saleen is indeed a must.
Among them, there is a kind of river fish with severe toxicity, after the hotel's exclusive craftsmanship adds a sauce prepared by magic plants, the toxicity is completely removed, and the remaining crystal clear fish contains part of the penetration of water elements, which is unusually delicious, reminding Lin An of the saying of "desperately eating puffer fish" in his previous life.
The method of this river fresh fish fillet is somewhat similar to medicine, and with the magical plants in the inn's woods, Lin An does not suspect that the inn employs mage apprentices.
However, this kind of adventure experience similar to "desperately eating puffer fish" is only for ordinary people, for mages like Lin An, even if the food itself is not poisonous, it must be tested for "detecting toxins" before entering, otherwise it will not let anything from unknown sources enter at all.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, and they were also interested in the poisonous river fish, and called the maid to ask if they could buy some to take away.
The maid was a little embarrassed, and after going back and asking the boss, she brought fifty pounds of fresh fish and prepared sauce, but the price was three times higher than that of a meal at the inn.
However, no matter how much the price rises, it is only a small amount of money for Lin An and the others, and after Andre paid, everyone divided the fifty pounds of fresh fish and sauce.
Then look at the bottle of golden bottle of Heili wine that has not been moved, except for John, no one else is interested. Lin An saw John's lingering eyes and said with a smile:
"To send me is to give you away, if you like it so much, take it!"
Although I didn't figure out the other party's intentions. However, this wine is indeed good wine, but Andre has a stalk in his heart, so he doesn't want to move, so he doesn't open the wine during the banquet.
John was waiting for Lin An's words, and when he heard this, he showed joy, and without hesitation, he took the wine in his hand, ready to let the waiter save it in the wine cellar.
After lunch, it was just past noon, and the early autumn midday sun did not look hot in this large lakeside city, especially under the shroud of giant trees. It's even cooler.
But after discussing it, everyone didn't take advantage of this noon mood to run out and wander for the time being, and they didn't want to go to the dock to board the ship so quickly. So under the guidance of the maid, he let the woman run errands and opened a noble suite with a room.
It is inevitable that you will meet people on the way to the suite, and this time Lin An no longer uses the ignorance technique, and takes out the "Angus Illusion" and covers his face. has become the same as the imagination of the previous life, the age seems to have matured a lot, and the rest of the hair color and eye color have not changed.
This appearance is similar to when he was in the camp on the western front of the ice field, and John has long been used to it, so it is not surprising.
Andre didn't care what Lin An had become, he just frowned and looked at Lin An. Look at Salin again. Salin looked surprised as he expected, "Master Lin, your injuries have recovered?" ”
Lin An smiled slightly. Nodding at him casually.
Salin wouldn't have guessed that Lin An had the possibility of recovery, half of his surprise was for Andre and them, and half of his surprise was really surprised that Lin An had recovered so early, and it was inevitable to guess the real recovery time of Lin An:
What is certain is that it should be within half a month. At least when Lin An recognized him, Lin An should not have recovered his ability to cast spells. Otherwise, the situation in the cabin must have been different.
"With her character, since she knows that the emperor has enemies, it is likely that she has already recovered her spell-casting ability before entering the imperial capital...... And judging from Andre's reaction, everyone else in this group should have known about this a long time ago, except for me. ”
Although Salin had long been aware of the gap between himself and Andre's brother and sister in Lin An's mind, but when it was so clearly revealed, Salin couldn't help but feel a little jealousy in his heart, mixed with the complicated feelings of expectation and unwillingness.
Lin An's sudden act of revealing the truth in front of Salin was a bit sudden, but it was her own decision, so Andre and None of them objected, but Salin fell silent after being surprised, and the atmosphere between the five of them was also a little strange.
Men are the most sensitive to the sense of smell of their rivals, although judging from the current superficial relationship between Lin An and Salin, Salin after amnesia does not show the aggression before the amnesia, but Andre still senses a certain taste with his keen intuition, and he has raised some vigilance against Salin after amnesia.
Walking to the corridor at the back door of the hotel lobby, the maid who had been sent to book a room walked out of the palatial door, and when she saw Lin An and his party in a blink of an eye, she trotted over with her skirt, and Andre gave her a lot of tips, three gold rego was her income for a month or two in the past.
Unexpectedly, the maid trotted to the middle of the corridor, but bumped into a group of people walking in front of Lin An and the others.
Seeing that there was a trouble, the maid hurriedly bowed down and apologized, and the gorgeously dressed noble son who was bumped into in the group said something unhappily, while playing the dust on the corner of the clothes with his hand, there was also a man and a goddess with a similar service style around him Looking at it relaxedly, and whispering, among the people who looked like attendants they carried, a male servant walked over unrelentingly, grabbed the maid and dragged him over.
But Lin An and the others, who were following behind, could see clearly that the maid had already stopped and wanted to retreat to the side, and the aristocratic young man had simply bumped into it by himself.
There were also people on the side who saw the situation in the middle of the corridor, and saw that it was the nobles' children who were looking for trouble with a commoner maid, but they avoided it for nothing, and some people watched from a distance with great interest.
"Huh? Another ...... that has been fancied"
“…… Or the Donkas boss is well trained! ”
Lin An's six senses are keen, not only roughly in his ears about the situation ahead, but also in his ears to catch the gossip of some guests, some regular customers have long been accustomed to someone fancy the "tulip and beauty" maid, and Donkas is the name of the innkeeper.
Ahead, although the manservant who came forward grabbed the maid, he really didn't move, and lifted the maid in front of his master, and the aristocratic young man who was "hit" was holding the maid's chin with one hand, and said with a smile.
So Lin An stopped Andre from wanting to come forward.
"'Tulips and Beauty' is an aristocratic hotel, this is probably not the first time this has happened, and you see that she does not look violently resisting."
Andrei looked. It was found that the maid was not too rebellious under the teasing of the aristocratic young man who had clearly revealed her intentions, and after being let go by the manservant, she was hugged by the noble young man's waist, and there were also some guards of the inn standing near the cloister, who just calmly watched the scene in front of them, and had no inclination to come forward or go to the innkeeper.
Andrei quieted down and said unhappily: "Could it be that this hotel also provides this kind of service?" The thought that the maid had just cut the sashimi for him with her own hands made him feel a little sick.
Salin glanced at him and said in his heart: Fledgling! Even if you haven't touched a woman, don't look like you don't know anything in front of the woman you like!
In this patriarchal society, purity and beauty are what men demand from women. Strength and power are the criteria by which a woman chooses a man. In Salin's mind, it was impossible for a template like Andre to conquer Lin An, so a trace of jealousy suddenly subsided in his heart.
In fact, Andrei is a bit of a cleanliness fetish. This kind of maid is similar to a semi-public prostitute, although it is cleaner than ordinary prostitutes, but sometimes she is sick, and although the cultivator's own resistance is enough to resist, Andrei's cleanliness is intolerable.
John looked ahead. Approaching Lin An, he whispered: "That man in a blue-gray samurai suit, the level of fighting spirit is not much different from mine. ”
Lin An had long been aware that there was someone in the other party's entourage whose strength was not low, and what John was talking about was a middle-aged man with two knives on his back, and it seemed that the leader of the guards in the line had reached the middle and late stage of civilization, which was slightly higher than the early stage of Shirille.
When John talked about the other party. The middle-aged warrior with two swords on his back also glanced to this side, and noticed that among the three men and two women behind him, three were wearing magic robes. The strength of the remaining two warriors was not far from his own, but they looked very young, and there was horror in his eyes, and he hurriedly whispered in the ear of the man who was watching.
The man he spoke to looked no less than thirty and was dressed in a slim-fitting gown robe. There are a few fibrous roots on the chin, which are very neatly trimmed.
He turned his face and glanced at Lin An. Lin An found that the other party's facial features were very handsome, and the slightly raised double eyelids seemed to be smiling all the time, although he had a long body and a tall skeleton, his overly fair skin and handsome facial features made him look too young, which may be the reason why he wanted to grow some beards to add mature temperament.
The other party's movements when he turned his face were also seen by others, and some of the guests sitting in the lobby seats next to him saw it through the window and let out a soft sigh, while Salin chuckled and said:
"This gentleman is really rare and handsome, like a tall laurel standing in the garden."
The implication of his words is more subtle, he feels that the female companion brought by the man is a little disgraced by the man, in fact, this is also the common idea that comes to mind when all the female companions around this man are clearly seen.
Because the appearance of the aristocratic girl next to the man can only be regarded as delicate at best, and the complexion can be regarded as fair, but there are a few obvious freckles on the bridge of the nose, and under the backdrop of the male companion beside him, it looks worse than the appearance of the maid held by another aristocratic young man.
But there was something wrong with Saleen's words, for the handsome man was approaching with his female companion and retinue.
The attention of the aristocratic girl was already attracted by the handsome men and beauties in Lin An's line, and she herself was also sensitive to her appearance, although the distance was a little farther, but from the fragments of Salin's words and expressions when she spoke, she still grasped the key point, and her face couldn't help but look difficult.
She was embarrassed in her heart, and then saw that Salin was talking to Lin An, thinking that this mage with an indescribable handsome temperament was currying favor with Lin An, and her eyes flashed with viciousness when she looked at Lin An.
Lin An felt that the noble girl was not good, but she didn't take the other party in her eyes, and looked at the maid held by another aristocratic young man, and the maid remembered something, struggled slightly to get out, lifted her skirt and bowed down and whispered:
"A few VIPs, the 'Laurel Night' suite has been booked, and you can move in at any time."
She is very self-aware, knowing that she is just an occasional object of aristocratic youth, it would be good to get some money in return, and if she wants to continue to do it in "Tulips and Beauty" in the future, these VIPs who are personally accompanied by the boss cannot be neglected.
A waiter standing by the cloister heard the maid's words, and walked over with good training, took the long-handled key with the laurel pattern in the maid's hand, and waited politely, ready to take Lin An and the five people to the suite at any time.
Unexpectedly, a delicate female voice came from the side. Insert among them.
"Three men and two women only have one suite, hehe......" The aristocratic girl holding the handsome man covered her lips with one hand and giggled.
This voice is really like a nightingale's coquettish cry, tactful, even the mean words are as good as singing, so beautiful that Lin An is not as good as he sighs, and it does not match the appearance of the speaker himself.
The girl also knows how to use her own advantages, and attracts the attention of others to herself with just one sentence.
The people who followed the sound source nearby and saw the speaker's true face couldn't help but feel sorry for a while, and then they tasted the meaning of the girl's words, and couldn't help but feel like watching a good show.
But when they saw Lin An and his party of five. At first glance, it was immediately noticed that there were three mages among them.
The other two warriors, a man and a woman, one is a sword and the other is resolute and restrained. The standing posture and demeanor seem to have a habit that is very different from that of ordinary people, even if it is walking in an ordinary environment, it also vaguely occupies the position of the formation, which cannot be imitated at all if it is not for a long-term military or mercenary career.
Five people were unusually young. The eldest is only in his early thirties, and their bearing and demeanor are outstanding, even Andre, who has a slightly ordinary face, is also bright-eyed, and some well-informed guests suddenly realized that they were not ordinary people, and they withdrew their eyes to watch the play.
"Ke Millie. Shut up! ”
The first to scold was not the handsome man beside the aristocratic girl, but the aristocratic young man who was originally holding the maid.
He is also good-looking, although not as handsome as his friends around him. But there is also a slightly feminine handsomeness, half a head shorter than the handsome man next to him, and his body is slender and thin, but he is slightly loose under his eyelids, giving people a feeling of overindulgence.
The aristocratic young man didn't care about the maid standing aside at this time. Her eyes burned as she stared at Shiryl, who was exuding a chill.
The blonde and blue-eyed Shiryl is a typical ice beauty. And the whole body exudes a bitter chill that cannot be approached, and her temperament is more attractive than Lin An after her disguise, and after the aristocratic young man saw her, of course, he directly forgot about the maid.
As a five-person person, the noble girl's disrespectful words can be ignored, although Andre is slightly annoyed, but after all, because he is also at fault on his side, he will not really compare with the noble girl. He was originally staring coldly at the man next to the girl, but when he saw the aristocratic young man staring at his sister with disgusting eyes, he couldn't help but be angry.
But Shiryl moved faster than Andre.
A little white light burst through the air, touched something in front of the aristocratic youth's chest, deflected the direction with a ding, and opened a deep hole in the ground obliquely, forming a white ice flower one foot in front of the aristocratic youth's feet, and a half-foot-long white dagger was inserted in the middle of the ice flower.
It was the middle-aged warrior with two swords on his back who made the move, he was originally guarding behind the aristocratic youth, only took one step, and his body had already blocked the startled aristocratic young man behind him, his face sank and he looked at Shirille, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency is too ruthless!"
The dagger was aimed right in the young man's chest, and Shiryl killed the young man as soon as he struck. The middle-aged martial artist was also secretly shocked in his heart that this girl was so angry, he understood the cultivation process of the aristocratic young man behind him, in fact, it was not that he couldn't dodge the dagger, but he was shocked by the evil qi leaked out when the girl made his hand, and he couldn't move for a while.
It's the same next to Shiryl. She hadn't been able to restrain her vindictive aura, and her hand was even more chilly, forcing the waiters on the side and the guards next to her to retreat one after another, leaving only Lin An and the five people standing in place, as if Lin An and the five people were isolated for a while.
Lin An didn't say anything, she felt a strange gaze staring at her face, the source was the handsome man holding the aristocratic girl, the strange feeling in that gaze made her distracted to pay attention to the other party, but she couldn't find the impression that she had ever seen this man in her mind.
The guests in the lobby of the hotel noticed the movement outside, and some immediately closed the windows and left, while others got closer and peeked through the windows.
The guards near the cloister had no time to stop Shiryl from making a move, and when they saw the confrontation between the two sides, while calling someone to find the boss, they separated the two parties, and a big man who looked like the leader of the guards said to Shiryl:
"This young lady, guests are not allowed to use their hands inside the 'Tulip and Beauty', please respect yourself and your companions."
His words were already quite polite, because he remembered that these five young people with extraordinary backgrounds were VIPs who were personally accompanied by the boss, otherwise with the backstage of "Tulips and Beauty", where would he be so polite to dissuade the guests who made trouble here.
But there were a lot of people at this time. The aristocratic young man also recovered from his fear, and his face rose with shame, and he exclaimed angrily:
"That's how you 'Tulips and Beauty' entertain your guests? I'm a distinguished guest in your city lord's mansion, so why don't you arrest them quickly......"
The leader of the guards was startled, feeling that the noble youth was not bluffing, and suddenly became embarrassed:
Of course, he knew the real backstage of "Tulips and Beauty", but after years of experience and intuition, he told himself that the five young people in front of him, who were surrounded by everyone, were not easy to mess with.
But just because the leader of the guard doesn't move doesn't mean his men don't move.
The current scene is almost one-sided after the aristocratic youth has revealed his identity. Although none of the guards made rash moves, they were gradually forming an encirclement of Lin An and the five people, and the encirclement was still slowly tightening.
The aristocratic girl held the hand of her handsome male companion. Looking at the scene in front of her, the smug look was almost overflowing, thinking that these five people, especially the two beautiful women, must be taught a profound lesson when they fell into her hands!
“…… Having a lunch, I can't even have a little peace! ”
A soft female voice that seems to sigh. Coming from the center of the encirclement, the people who heard this voice couldn't help but suppress their mood for a while, and they could repeatedly empathize with the speaker's depressed heart at this time.
Then the next moment, I only heard the female voice say lightly: "Let's do it." ”
The handsome man who was held by a noble girl suddenly tightened his heart, and he had a bad premonition, and his face changed.
"Stop!"
But his words might have stopped his men and the hotel guards. Lin An would not listen to him.
The guards of the hotel heard the man's stop, but after a moment's hesitation, a wall of sound waves that could see the vibration of the air with the naked eye suddenly extrapolated out with Lin An and the five people as the center. More than a dozen guards buzzed in their ears, and suddenly they were like a sledgehammer in their chests, and they vomited blood and threw them outward!
A faint aura lit up at Shiryl's feet, and patches of blue and white frost bloomed in the light of the aura, and her figure almost turned into a white light under the cover of the sonic wall. With a fierce chill, he went forward to confront the middle-aged warrior head-on, but suddenly staggered at the moment when the swords intersected. The long sword deflected direction with the help of force, and slammed into the unprepared handsome man and the aristocratic girl!
When the middle-aged warrior and the entourage around the man found out about Shiryl's intentions, it was too late, Shirlill pulled, and the aristocratic girl pushed at those entourages like a shield, and the long sword was put on the man's neck with a backhand, and the man only felt a slight tingling in his throat, and suddenly froze.
Sheryl clasped his right arm back, and said indifferently like an icy stone clash of voices:
"Stop."
Her stop is much more useful than the previous one, the entourage next to the man froze for a moment, and the middle-aged warrior holding the double sword was shocked, looking at the long sword that was tightly attached to the man's neck but did not dare to move!
At this time, the hotel guard, who had been thrown out by the sonic wall, fell to the ground.
The walls of the corridor were cracked, wood chips were splashed, and dust fell, revealing the four Lin An people standing in place, and the spotless ground with a three-foot radius at the feet of the four people.
Lin An and the four of them stood on the clean ground, as if there was an invisible air shield around them to protect them, and the position of the four people in the air cover did not move for half a minute, John who was standing behind Lin An did not even draw his sword, holding an ice basin full of ice cubes in both hands, and a black long-necked wine bottle was buried inside, and there was a faint white gas on the wine bottle.
If this situation does not show the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, it is blind.
The middle-aged warrior's heart had already sunk into the bottomless abyss, but he still gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Several of them are outstanding, they are not as good as the next, I don't know which master they inherited, maybe they have an old relationship with our lord Earl Truman." ”
Merlin had many nobles named Truman, but the only one who called himself Count Truman in Onda was the lord of the city.
The middle-aged warrior reported the background of his family, no matter what the origin of Lin An and the five people was, as long as the other party was still on the territory of Onda City, even if they were royal nobles and had a big backstage, they must also weigh the consequences of their wanton actions here.
This response is really not soft or hard, Lin An finally looked at this middle-aged martial artist.
The aristocratic young man behind the middle-aged warrior had an ugly face and didn't say a word, as if he finally understood that he had made a big mistake, and the aristocratic girl, she fainted when she was pushed to those entourage by Shiryl as a shield.
