As soon as the captain of the guard spoke, Luo Lan knew that this matter could not be good. [Latest chapter reading.]

The man's face was extremely nervous, his eyes flickered, and his voice was low when he gave the order, and he did not dare to shout loudly, as if what was in Adozemoth's hand was something of great importance, and he was very afraid of being discovered.

These people only wore simple armor in the most critical parts, and the clothes on their bodies did not look like aristocratic servants or army, but like some urban law enforcement teams that had undergone some rough training, and their combat effectiveness was not very high in terms of walking posture and the posture of holding weapons.

Including Luo Lan himself, there were a total of six people in his group, except for the princess Janice Shumi, who had no combat power, and any of the three undead attendants, Hijes, Adocimoth, Blade, and Boxer, all had the strength to easily knock everyone on the other side down.

Just as the dozens of guards were about to rush up, someone shouted and said, "Stop!"

All the guards stopped in amazement, and when they looked back, they all showed a chilling expression.

It was a young knight who walked out, he glanced coldly at the captain of the guard, and said, "This is a free city-state, not your private garden, and anyone here must act according to the decree of the city-state Inquisition, have you forgotten?"

The captain of the guard looked a little ugly, and he quickly defended: "I'm just ......"

The young knight stretched out a hand to stop him from continuing, and said in a deep voice: "The decree stipulates that any foreign nobleman who sets foot on a free city-state has the rights of a city-state citizen and is protected by the laws of the city-state. ”

"My lord, I, this ......" the captain of the guard looked at the young knight dumbfounded, as if he did not understand why the latter would say this to himself. I couldn't help but be stunned there, until the two guards hugged him and grabbed his arm from left to right, then opened his mouth as if he had just woken up from a dream, and before his words could come out of his throat, a cold glint suddenly flashed in the young knight's eyes, and he took a step forward and slashed his palm at the side of his neck, and the captain of the guard hung his head softly without even snorting. I fainted.

"Take him down, and the two of you will take him to the Law Enforcement Agency. The young knight nodded at the two indifferent looking guards seemingly casually, and then ignored them. He turned to look at Luo Lan and his party, and put on a smiling face. Apologetically, he said, "I'm sorry, you just got here, right? His gaze seemed to casually sweep to the side, and there was a slight pause on Janice's face, as if surprised by the latter's noble temperament.

"It's just a small thing," Luo Lan said with a very generous smile: "The journey of life is full of unrest and accidents, but it also enriches our hearts, so that we know the difficulties and dangers of many people in the world." ”

The young knight's eyes twitched imperceptibly. Then he exclaimed, "This lord's words are full of philosophy. It seems that it is a good thing to meet you today, why don't I invite you to the city for a drink, and you can get acquainted, what do you think?"

Luo Lan nodded happily and said, "How could I refuse such a friendly invitation, you are such a respectable knight, we have just come here." Not familiar with anything. With your guidance, we will surely gain a deeper understanding of this great city. ”

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words. The young knight waved off the guards and led them towards the city.

Founded in the early days of the free city-state, this port city has been renovated and expanded over the centuries and has become as rich and prosperous as hundreds of cities on the Olevian Peninsula.

The gray granite walls are tall and magnificent, and the gates are painted with a special blue and yellow color, and the buildings in the city seem to be stacked on top of each other, one higher than the other, as if viewed from a distance, the momentum is extremely magnificent.

The young knight seemed to be full of interest, and talked endlessly about the origin and changes of the city, his words were full of pride, when he arranged the settlement of Luo Lan and others in a noble inn, a guard hurriedly came, whispered a few words in his ear, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Luo Lan with a little apology, and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, there is a tricky matter to deal with, so I have to lose it." ”

"It can be seen that you are a knight who is loyal to your duties," Luo Lan nodded and greeted with a smile, "In this city, I believe we will have the opportunity to meet again." ”

The young knight glanced at Luo Lan deeply, and said with deep meaning: "That's a certainty. He nodded in return, but the moment he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth flashed with a fleeting mockery.

Looking at the young man's back, Janice had doubts floating in her beautiful eyes, and seeing Luo Lan's calm face, she couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Mentor, he is very suspicious." ”

Luo Lan's hand touched the silk glove, and said calmly, "Oh, where did you see it?"

Janice's beautiful eyes blinked, her small palm stretched out and shook it, and said, "On the harbor, the captain of the guard was very nervous about the mysterious object that fell into our hands, and this knight should have seen this scene too, but why did he not mention it? It seems that he is deliberately covering it up, and the reason why he arrested the captain of the guard, I speculate, is to gain our trust, and second, he is afraid that others will know about this item, so he chooses to keep a low profile." In addition, he repeatedly tested our origin in his language, and seemed to say a lot along the way, but he never mentioned his own identity, and we still don't even know his name......" She snorted softly, and said, "So, he arranged for us to settle down in the noble inn, I guess, just to find us conveniently, and for the sake of the item we took." Luo Lan smiled faintly and said, "Even so, we still have to stay here." ”

Janice was puzzled and said, "Mentor, we have just arrived here, and it seems that it is not suitable for conflict with the forces in the city. ”

Luo Lan shook his head and said, "Although you saw the suspicion, you ignored one thing, that is, the origin of this item, if it is extremely important, and it is too important to let anyone know. Then this person will definitely try to stop us by all means, but what I'm not sure is how important this thing is, and how much trouble it will cause if the news in our hands leaks out? We don't know anything about this now, so we can't judge what to do next, so it's better to wait and see. ”

"But Mentor," wondered Janice, "where did we learn of the origin of this object?"

"Don't worry, someone will come and tell us. Luo Lan smiled mysteriously and said, "At the latest." The answer will be found tonight. ”

In a luxurious mansion in the city, a middle-aged man sitting in a chair had a gloomy face and said, "The things are in their hands?

"No accurate information is available yet. I only know that it is a nobleman from the Central Continent, and it looks like it has some origins. The young knight who had separated from Luo Lan stood opposite.

"That's all?" the middle-aged man frowned. There seems to be some dissatisfaction.

The young knight shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are too few sources of information, not to mention that they have just come here, and it is not possible to gain trust in a short time. ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said categorically, "We can't wait that long!" He snorted again and sneered: "It's all those old guys in the family, according to my suggestion, the Thieves Guild should be allowed to build a branch here." That saves a lot of trouble. ”

The young knight smiled indifferently. He knew that the middle-aged man was just talking, and although the young nobles of the free city-states had not made this suggestion at the city-state alliance meeting, they were unceremoniously denied by the elders of the ruling alliance, because they knew that the thieves' guild was a double-edged sword, and when using it to slash at the other party's land, they should also be careful not to be harmed. Therefore, what cannot be controlled in the hands is simply excluded. The old guys' way is not unsafe either.

"How many people can we mobilize now?" the middle-aged man's brows tightened.

The young knight shook his head and kindly reminded, "The law enforcement team is just the armed force of the city-state. If I hadn't come forward in time today, I'm afraid that our locals would have already made a fuss about things this time, and I believe it won't take long for it to reach the ears of the old guys, and it will not be easy to make transfers. ”

"I'm not talking about them. The middle-aged man's voice suddenly lowered.

The young knight raised his face in surprise, he saw a gaze full of coldness, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said, "Are you sure you want to use them?" The middle-aged man was stunned, he realized that he seemed to be too impulsive, and immediately calmed down, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and muttered, but from his constantly flashing gaze, he could see the complexity and intensity of the moment

The young knight looked at him motionlessly, expressionless.

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man slammed his fist on the table, and the lid of the porcelain cup also jumped.

"If I get the idol, I will definitely be able to defeat all my opponents!" the middle-aged man said word by word: "I'll do it tonight!"

The young knight was silent for a moment, then bent down and saluted, "I'll go deliver your order." ”

"Remember! Don't leave a single mouth alive!"

As soon as the young knight retreated to the doorway, he heard such a sentence, he bowed his head respectfully, and then, gently closing the door, a sneer drifted through his eyes.

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the room laughed at this moment, he wondered why he was so excited just now, there would be hundreds of such little nobles in the port of Kilos every day, they all came to the free city-state to pan for gold, it was not worth being nervous, and he was also extremely confident in this secret training team, thinking of this, he seemed to relax, and his heart immediately ignited a fire, and he couldn't wait to pull the bell next to him.

After a while, the door opened, and a veiled girl appeared in the room, and strangely, there was a blue bird standing on her shoulder, and she smiled sweetly at the middle-aged man, "Are you looking for me?"
