Volume 4 Inexplicably Going to the Competition Breaking the Mirror and Being Reborn in Nirvana Chapter 170 Two Mysterious Aristocrats
Lichen and Wang Mo explained the matter in detail, and Wang Mo understood the situation here. It turned out that Lichen found Wang Mo because of the matter of the City Lord's Mansion, and it turned out that although the city lord was worried that the disappearance of his daughter would affect the upcoming district-level city competition, he kept this matter down. But although he couldn't make a big show, the city lord secretly instructed Lichen to personally bring his most capable subordinates to find his daughter back. At the same time, if he knows any capable people in the people, he can also release it according to the bounty task, but it must be kept secret and not made a big fuss.
So Lichen immediately thought of Wang Mo, the owner of the B&B who made him feel mysterious, and Lichen still can't forget the shiver that suddenly appeared in his heart when he first met Wang Mo. Since he broke out of his reputation as an alcoholic, he has never encountered this feeling, and Wang Mo brought Rourou back safely alone, which further strengthened the guess in his heart.
Wang Mo scratched his head, his face tangled. "That's the kind of thing..... It's a bit of a hassle. ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, if you help the city lord find it back, this bounty will be taken away. It's okay if you don't find it, it's not a mandatory task. Of course, this task will not be given to you alone, and I and the city lord will definitely look for other capable people to help, and whoever has the ability to complete the money will be whoever. Lichen said.
"But I'm just an ordinary person, and this kind of task is too difficult. Why did you find me, I'm not a master of ability. Wang Mo was embarrassed.
"Haha, aren't there two young people next to Boss Wang? I heard my subordinates say their skills, so it's the most reasonable thing to find the boss of this kind of thing, isn't it?" Lichen understood that this Wang Mo definitely didn't want to expose himself, so he didn't talk about him, but pulled Ronan and Gerst.
Thinking of these two, Wang Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this, I will pay attention to it." ”
"Just have your words, of course, our security team will also handle this matter, if the boss encounters any clues to us, our team also has a bounty. But if we come to the rescue, then the city lord's promise of a thousand gold will not be your share. Lichen added.
When the two finished talking, Wang Mo was just about to leave, and the two nobles slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion from the night. One of them wore a magic robe with red and gold trim, while the other wore a leather trench coat with bright light armor visible through the gap in the leather coat on his chest, and a Luo-style two-handed sword at his waist.
The two walked slowly in the night, and when they came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at Lichen, the young man with the long sword asked, "Are you a guard here?" Go and inform the City Lord of Lingcheng that a guest is coming. ”
Lichen looked at the two of them, and found that they were two nobles, and after saying goodbye to Wang Mo, he saluted in front of the two and said, "I am the security captain here, Lichen, please wait a while, I will go and let the guards of the City Lord's Mansion pass through." ”
"Okay, there you go. The young man nodded and said.
"Wait, you're the security captain here, aren't you? Then you should know how a commoner should deal with a nobleman, right?" said the man dressed as a magician next to the young man, who had a thick beard on his face, a little gray between his beards, and some wrinkles on his face, and looked like he was in his forties.
Lichen frowned slightly, he naturally understood what the other party meant. However, his status is special, and even if the city lord is there in person, he doesn't need those respectful etiquette and attitudes. In order to stabilize the security of each city in the kingdom, each city will try its best to attract some masters to sit in the town, so there is also the breeding of underground forces such as the underworld. Of course, there will also be some masters who will join the local official and enjoy the treatment of officials, and Lichen is such a person.
Looking at the entire Han Land, the name of the drunkard Lichen is in the front, and it is conceivable that the city lord of Lingcheng not only needs to pay a lot of money to bring Lichen here, but also needs to give enough respect. Therefore, even if the city lord of Lingcheng faces Lichen, he will not be arrogant if he lets Lichen do things. Although these strong men are also civilians in their eyes, they also have a high-minded mentality. But the nobles will hide such high in their hearts and will not reveal it.
The nobles understand that the strong in this world are respected, and these powerful strong men are not only their right-hand men, but also their threats, so they will only slightly put away their arrogant posture in the face of the strong. But at this time, the middle-aged mage questioned Lichen like this, which immediately made Lichen extremely uncomfortable, but only this is not enough to turn his face, after all, everyone is now living in this Ester Kingdom, and if this is just like this in this country ruled by nobles, I am afraid that this day will not be thought about.
Thinking of this, Lichen took a deep breath, bent down slightly and said, "Your Excellency Honorable Magician, this is indeed a lowly negligence, please wait in the living room of the mansion first, and I will personally go to the city lord to greet the city lord." ”
Seeing Lichen's respectful tone, the middle-aged mage nodded with a satisfied expression, and took the lead in pacing into the courtyard. The young man with the sword walked a few steps behind and said softly when he walked past Lichen's side: "Your Excellency is that drunkard? I have heard that you are superb in swordsmanship, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to learn from you?"
Lichen's body kept bent and did not straighten up, and he said humbly, "Your subordinates don't dare, your status is noble, how dare you fight with you?"
The young man shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "That uncle is too arrogant, no matter how noble the nobleman is, he shouldn't talk to a great swordsman like this, it's too rude." The young man shook his head and followed the middle-aged mage.
Lichen bent over, and didn't stand up straight until the other party walked away. Wang Mo walked over, patted him and said, "Everyone is gone, what are you still doing here, are you a doorman?"
Li Chen slowly stood up straight, and said a meaningful sentence with a blurred eye: "This person's waist pole, as long as he bends down, it is not easy to come straight back." ”
Looking at Lichen's slightly bleak back when he walked into the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Mo sighed for no reason, and Yun Qing asked puzzledly, "Old Wang, what are you sighing for?"
"Don't call me Lao Wang, it sounds like a neighbor who often lives next door to various wives' houses. Wang Mo was unhappy.
"What's that?" Yun Qing obviously didn't understand, "I'll call you Lao Wang, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, Lao Wang." ”
"Defecate as you please!" Wang Mo buttoned his ears and stopped trying to correct what this little girl called herself without authorization. He seemed to be infected by the words that came out of Lichen just now, maybe it was the back of the other party when he left, anyway, he didn't know why he felt that he was suddenly depressed.
"Why are you suddenly unhappy? Is it because your friend has been troubled?" Yun Qing of course saw the change in Wang Mo's mood, and she tried to explain, "Don't care, people are nobles, we civilians are honored to talk to nobles." Besides, the nobles are already very polite to Captain Lichen, right? In my opinion, aren't all those nobles overlooking the top and ignoring the commoners at all? If they catch the commoners making mistakes, they will be punished directly. ”
Wang Mo looked at Yun Qing, and from her expression, he could see that it was right, and he suddenly realized a problem, that is, what this country that was occupied and ruled by the nobility was really like. He seems to have been living a semi-secluded life here, as the deacon said, he has only enjoyed the progress of magic technology and the rapid economic development brought by the empire, and the good material life has made him think that the kingdom of Esther is many steps better than the previous Dahan Empire. But only now did I vaguely realize one thing, that is, the people who lived here, those who had lived in Handi for generations, did not know when they had silently accepted their status as commoners, and deeply engraved the concept of inferiority in their bones.
A young man like Yun Qing, who was born in the kingdom period, has long taken the dignity of the nobility for granted. And even a famous master like Lichen has become accustomed to bending down in front of the aristocracy, although there is still resistance, it is just a whining sentence that can only be said to himself.
Wang Mo thought of himself again, and he asked himself if he faced those nobles, would he also bend down and bend his knees like Lichen? Have you also silently admitted in your heart that you are inferior? If those nobles really bully themselves or their friends one day, will they also think that it is a reasonable and natural thing like Yunqing?
Thinking of this, Wang Mo's heart suddenly tightened, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
