"Your Excellency, you're amazing!"

Owen spat fish bones rather sloppily and gave a greasy thumbs up.

"We don't have to go over to the vegetable garden, and you're all done!"

He squeezed his eyebrows and leaned over, muttering obscenely:

"Tell me about ......"

"Say, say, say, say you're big!"

I gave him a hard look, and poured myself a special wine, a mixture of spices, alcohol and honey, which was truly fascinating.

"Oh, look! The Dean doesn't look at you the way you look at you, you shouldn't. ”

The knight's protracted voice suddenly realized that the people next to him understood and coaxed.

"I can't stop the mouths of you wastes when I eat, I don't want to eat before I say it early!"

I feigned anger and frightened them to sit back and honestly deal with the food on their plates.

"Seize the opportunity to enjoy, tomorrow we will unload the supplies provided by the monastery, and we will leave early the day after tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Owen asked suspiciously.

"Go to the other side of the lake, Constance."

I put down my glass calmly, and my gaze swept over their stunned, confused, or expectant faces.

"Go to the thief-eyed Count Basel, and don't forget, his rightful heir, Auden, is still in Rome!"

After the feast, I politely declined the invitation of Dean Bruni to stay overnight, and went down before the sun went down, and at the same time agreed on a time to hand over the supplies tomorrow.

It's strange to say, up and down the same more than 1,000 steps, but on the way back I was very happy with the light steps, almost didn't fly, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is because of the gold coins in my pocket, and sure enough, people's senses will change with the change of mood.

The sky in the mountains is darker than the plains, the red sunset is a little with us and we hurriedly get off work, a few faint stars in the sky finally keep the blooming time, not hesitant to shine, Lake Constance in the distance is as quiet as a mirror, the color of blue and gray is stable and generous, like a gentle old mother, humming a beautiful lullaby in the arms of the brightly lit town of Saint-Gar slowly falling asleep.

Owen ate so much that he had several stinking burps in a row.

"If you want to talk about that steamed sea bass, it's really ...... Tsk, huh? My lord, today's town seems to be particularly lively, huh? He squinted his drunken eyes and smirked at the faintly noisy town.

"Drink too much, huh? It's also very lively, did you live here before? ”

I didn't choke him angrily, but the noise in my ears did get louder and louder, and it sounded like a lot of people, something happened? This was the first reaction that came to mind, and I quickly quickened my pace and urged them:

"It doesn't look like the situation is right, hurry up!"

St. Galle was built along the lake and covered a small area, and the only spacious place was the square in front of the town office, from which a shout was coming, and even the guards on duty were off their posts, and the sentry posts at the city gates were empty, except for the beeping of dry wood in the brazier.

"Code name four!"

I couldn't bear my anxiety and searched for the Assassin leader hiding in the darkness.

"Where are you hiding? Come out! ”

"Here, sir."

A fair, slender hand stabbed me in the shoulder out of nowhere, startling me.

"What do you command?"

"Damn!"

I burst out: "Go and see what's going on up ahead." ”

"I've seen it, the two groups of people are just going to fight hard." Codename Four replied lightly.

"Fighting? Where? ”

A drunken Owen made the fight intriguing, waving his hands in joy.

"Where? Where? I'm most happy to see the fight! ”

"Shut your foul mouth!"

I glanced at him with disgust, but the stone road under my feet never ended, and the voice floated in the air as if it were about to leave, as if a master of teasing **** hooked people's hearts.

"Two groups of people are going to fight hard, who and whom? Does it have anything to do with our people? ”

"It doesn't matter if it matters, it's better for you to go and see for yourself."

Codename Four said, once again perfectly disappearing into the slowly sinking night.

Unconsciously, Codename Four also learned to sell Guanzi, and I was so angry that the roots of my teeth itched, but I couldn't find a place to vent, so I had to hurry to the town square with my legs upside down.

The house was built on a terrace at the top of the hill, and from here, it was just right to see the situation near the city gate, and at the same time highlight the status of the mayor.

Of course, compared to the imposing architecture of the monastery, this house is a half-finished rough at best, and it is still the kind of sewer smell.

"Yo, there are really a lot of people gathered, eh......"

Owen said with a big tongue as he let out a series of farts without hesitation, and the disgusting smell suddenly polluted the air around him.

"Bastard!"

I pinched my nose, resisted the nausea retching, and scolded in disgust:

"Let's get this drunk aside, grandma's can't stand it......"

A few slightly sober attendants scrambled to pick up Owen, and I trotted two steps, finally finding a place for fresh air, and inhaled heavily.

"Whew...... Finally survived, wait......"

The buzzing voices caught my attention, and there were many people on the third and outer three floors of the town square with a bonfire, and it seemed that the matter was quite big.

"What kind of two groups of people are going to fight?"

Scratching the back of my head suspiciously, I slowly approached, and I found that the lively crowd was clearly divided into two factions, the brightly dressed Black Forest mercenary group was one group, and the tall, short, fat, thin men, women, and children of St. Gart were the other group, and the worst of all, they were all guys!

"Seems a little tricky......"

I sensed that something was wrong, stumbling away from the crowd, some swearing impatiently, some probably looking back and getting out of the way, and others recognizing my identity and bowing respectfully.

"What's going on inside?" I asked, staring at each other.

"Hit ...... There was a fight, okay...... There are a lot of people, all holding guys, and they want to ...... ...... who will kill people"

The person who answered was probably the first time he was so close to a nobleman like the duke, and stumbled nervously.

"The mercenaries who came later...... and Nadur them, kill ...... Kill ......"

"Alright, alright, I got it." It was too hard to listen to him, and I waved my hand to stop it with black lines, but the former sneered and honestly shut up.

After passing through the stacked human barriers, I finally came to the center of the incident, and the scene in front of me confirmed Fang Cai's suspicion, the town guard Nadur who helped us guide the way angrily led a group of people, surrounded by several leaders of the Black Forest mercenary group led by de Wald, and the latter crossed his arms nonchalantly, in a half-asleep position, lazily watching the expressions of a few puppies around him, and jumping up and down with condescending cold eyes, and between the two sides, the mayor of the town, Dyern, was playing the role of peacemaker.

"Oh, for God's sake, please stop, okay?"

He persuaded the mercenary leader de Wald with kind words, and the fat beer belly trembled incessantly, as if it might break his belt at any moment.

"Old friends, give face?"

"It's not me who started the trouble in the first place, old friend, I and a few brothers spent money to drink and have fun, didn't we break the rules of the town? It was he who indiscriminately led people in and lifted the table and smashed the cups, broke people's things, and scared away many customers. ”

De Wald pretended to be pitiful with a bitter face, as if he were the victim.

"You give a critique, what the hell did we do wrong, huh?"

"That's right, no one said you were wrong, my friend!"

Mayor Dellney patted the mercenary leader on the shoulder closely: "You have a lot of adults, let your brothers disperse, okay?" ”

"Hey! Old friend, I have to make it clear, I didn't ask my brothers to help, they were worried that the other party would do something irrational, so they rushed to support me. ”

De Wald quibbled righteously, looking as if he had been wronged.

"Yes, you're right, old friend, explain to my brothers for me, Nadur and the others have no ill will towards you, including the Black Forest mercenary group, I swear to God!"

The fat mayor's oily forehead was dripping with sweat, like an egg that had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

"Uncle Town!"

Nadur shouted reproachfully: "Don't help outsiders talk, don't you know the grievances between the two of us?" ”

"It's because I know too well that I don't want you to continue to fight and cause unnecessary casualties, young man, listen to my advice!" Dyerney was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he was old.

"He kidnapped my wife, killed my children, and made a family fall apart, and what could be more sinful than this beast when God created the world?"

Nadur's eyes were red, and he wanted to bite and chew every word he spoke.

"As a man, husband and father, I must kill him for revenge!"

"Kill him, will your wife and daughter be able to come back from the dead? Kill him and you're a man? ”

"I remember that the priest of the monastery said in his lectures, 'If there is a disagreement between this man and that man, bear with one another and forgive one another, and as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive, listen, my child!'" This is God's teaching to the world! ”

"Please don't say it, Uncle Town, forgive me for my recklessness, but today I will kill him no matter what, this fire has been holding back for five years, five years! I'm going to go crazy if I hold it any longer! Nadur roared hysterically, like a raging tiger, and his reason was gone.

Dyerney staggered between the two sabre-rattling enemies, De Wald's disdain contrasting Nadur's irritability, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Son, have you ever thought about the consequences of this?"

The fat mayor trembled and pointed at the angry mercenary behind him: "What are they doing?" A mercenary who works hard to eat, a human spirit crawling in a sea of corpses and blood, has cut off more heads than you've ever seen, and a single finger can beat you all over the ground to find teeth! ”

The mayor's head reflected the firelight, and it became brighter.

"The friends behind you are willing to help you out and even work hard, but they also have family to take care of! Take a good look at the compatriots next to you, our entire town is not enough for this group of murderous mercenaries to slaughter, are you really ready to use the lives of the people of the whole city to bury your hatred? ”

"I ......"

The angry Nadur was speechless for a while, and his anger slowly subsided, leaving only unwillingness and stubbornness struggling in his mind, he was an ordinary person with no ability after all, and even revenge had to be seen by people.

"The enmity of my wife and children...... Bella and Phil's lives...... Do you want to forgive this damn brute? ”

"Of course it's unforgivable!"

I said something amazing, and the attention of the audience instantly focused: "As a man, not being able to avenge blood relatives is undoubtedly the biggest shame!" ”

"Lord Duke!" Several shouted in unison, Mayor Dyern reproached, mercenary leader De Wald surprised, and Nadur grateful.

I walked up to them step by step with my hands behind my back, my eyes moving back and forth between the two enemies, and I suddenly spoke while everyone was puzzled:

"Either you duel, fight with real knives and guns, anyway, you want to kill each other so much, duel is the best of both worlds."

"Lord Duke, I respect you, it doesn't mean that you can decide the fate of others at will, my townspeople are all free."

The fat mayor puffed out his cheeks angrily, like a frog in a pond on a rainy day.

"God, you're pushing him into the abyss!"

"He jumped in himself, and I just helped remove a few rocks that stood in the way."

With a flirtatious shrug, I saw De Wald give him an inquiring look at what the hell you were trying to do.

"Mayor Dellney, since you don't want Nadur's behavior to drag down the town, and I help you, why are you pretending to be a good man?"

"Although you are a noble duke, please do not question and insult me."

The fat mayor's face darkened, and a fierce light flashed in the depths of his pupils: "St. Gal is a free ......"

"A city of free people, not ruled by any nobles, my ears are almost cocooned."

Gouging out my ears exaggeratedly, and the corner of my eye swept to Nadur's mood was calm, and then I continued: "I wonder if you, free people, can you say a few words?" ”

"If you're not as over-the-top as you used to......" Dellney muttered a soft acquiescence.

"Freeman Nadur."

I turned to the town guard, who bowed his head and remained silent, his face pale with indecisive hesitation, and he did not dare to face the question:

"I ask you, if you really fight the commander of the Black Forest Mercenary Regiment, De Wald, how sure are you of victory? I've seen him grab the spear with just one hand and leave you helpless. ”

Nadur licked his dry lips uneasily, as if he was unbearably thirsty, fine beads of sweat broke out of his nose, and his face turned much paler.

"I ...... I ......" stammered, he still didn't have the courage to face the difficulties, and I saw through it early in the morning.

"I ...... Can't beat him. ”

Nadur bit his lip tightly, tears of humiliation flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his emotions exploded, finally admitting his incompetence:

"Damn, I can't beat him!"

"So what?"

I seized the opportunity to push the bachelor whose family was ruined to his death little by little.

"Am I right that you call a group of people to help, and gamble their lives to release the resentment you've been holding back for years, Mr. Dur?"

The crowd was in an uproar, and then there was a whisper, and Nadur's face was red and white for a while when he was told what was going on.

"I thought it was always good to have someone to back you up, maybe they would just give in."

The more he explained, the more he couldn't continue, and when a person's dark psychology was made public, it was like running naked on the street in broad daylight, and it was inevitable that he would be very ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I just want revenge."

"Cowards also fantasize about revenge in a heroic way?" I questioned sharply.
