Act XLIII: The Last Supper
Ten wagons of food were carried down from the wagons, and the entire rice field was almost overwhelmed.
"Everyone sit around and eat as much as you want!" La Niña looked at so much food and didn't bother to put it on the table. She took out a pile of fluorite from her chest and placed it in the four corners of the rice field, and the whole rice field was like daylight.
The villagers sat on the ground in groups of dozens carrying small wooden stakes, trembling hands and eagerly began to eat.
At the table where La Niña was, in addition to a few of them, there were also Xue Ji and two elderly men.
"Magician, knight, I'll pour you wine." Issa didn't expect that he would be pressed here to eat together, but as long as he poisoned the three of them, the rest of the villagers had nothing to fear.
"Oh! The lord of the castle is really hardworking, huh? Rhine, check the wine for poison. La Niña said directly in front of Isa.
Xue Ji and the two old men present were startled when they heard this, and Issa almost slipped on the spot while sitting in her chair.
Rhine picked up the wine jar in front of everyone and drank many sips directly, and the snow season didn't even have time to stop it.
"It's too bad to drink, just keep this half of the jar, and smash all the other tables! It's the first time I've ever drunk such a bad red wine. "Rhine knew it was poisonous at the first bite, but this ordinary poison was useless to him. Even if it's a bit of poison, he spits it out on the spot and lets La Niña purify it.
Hallrest looked at Rhine's appearance and hurriedly ran to other parts of the rice field to see if anyone was drinking. Fortunately, the villagers only cared about eating, and no one drank at all. Where were those jars removed, and where are they still there?
Isa watched as Rhein drank the poisoned wine, and then was surprised to find that he was not at all unusual, and did not know whether to be happy or sad.
"Come, Lord of the City, and Lord Dogleg, I'll pour you two glasses, and if you don't have a good time chatting later, you will be punished for drinking!" When Harreste returned, he filled the earth-faced duo with wine.
Hearing that he was called a dog, the clerk also recognized it. The poison can't die, you can't beat it, and you can only resign yourself to fate. But he only heard how powerful the Bronze Horseman is, after all, he is a frog at the bottom of the well, and if he is forced to drink poisonous wine later, it is better to draw a knife and fight.
Xue Ji watched the performance of the two teenagers and La Niña, and knew that it would not be easy after that.
Ten years ago, the snow season watched Betchernst abandon himself and pass on his magic power to two teenagers. But he didn't know that the teenagers who had received this inheritance were now powerful enough to play with the lord of a city between applause.
Xue Ji is an out-and-out farmer, and he doesn't even know that the strong people in this world are divided into eight stages, and he doesn't know that some people who live in the same world as him can go to heaven and earth, and can open the sky with a sword. The only thing that made him feel terrible was the man who came with Rhine ten years ago, and he killed more than 300 demons with his bare hands. This made Xue Ji think that he was a god for a while.
In the final analysis, the location of Ota City is too remote, so remote that ten years ago, the whole country searched for the Rhine without any results.
"Uncle Xueji, two ancestors, let's eat, let's talk while eating." La Niña picks up a stack of truffle caviar and spoons it into it.
"Daddy, is Mr. Luke's field okay? Is this year's harvest good? Harled's question.
"The harvest is good, it is estimated that the yield of one acre of land may be about 600 catties, we will hand over 420 catties, and leave the remaining 180 catties, so we won't lose much!" The snow season picks up the show.
"What? We have worked hard for a season, and when the harvest is good, will we stick it upside down? Which bastard are the 420 pounds going to be handed over? How I haven't heard of it! Rhine feigned anger.
Xue Ji smiled and looked at the city lord Issa without speaking, I don't know why, Xue Ji suddenly felt so comfortable, as if a breath in his heart was spit out.
La Nina followed Xue Ji's gaze, "Lord of the City, that bastard can't be you, right?" ”。
Issa's face turned pale, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"My lord, is that bastard you?" La Niña asked again, only this time in a colder tone.
"It's me, it's me, but the reason why I collect taxes like this is because there are a lot of facilities to be built in the city, and there is not enough money!" Issa listened to La Nina's tone change and didn't dare to die anymore, looking at La Nina's casual orders to Rhine and Harrest, he had already guessed that La Nina's status was even higher than that of the two teenagers.
"Isn't there enough money? You built the city lord's mansion into a castle, and you still lack funds? La Niña couldn't help but laugh.
Issa was once again speechless, no matter what he thought in his mind, he could only think of how he usually suppressed the villagers. Suppressing vendors. For better deeds, except for today's egg distribution and tax change, there is no more. He's going to take a moment to organize the language before he answers.
"Lord La Nina, it is true that in the past, heavy taxes were levied because of lack of funds, but now with sufficient funds. The lord of the castle immediately reduced his taxes, and he also distributed eggs from door to door! This is when the role of the instrument is revealed.
La Nina and everyone were really stunned when they heard this, this old fox is really cunning.
The snow season next to him doesn't seem to have any good evidence, although he is always bullying the people, but he doesn't leave any evidence.
When an old man next to him heard the word egg, he suddenly stood up and looked like he was about to leave, "Lord of the city, my granddaughter was summoned to the city half a month ago, and she hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if I'm doing well." I've gone to get ten eggs this afternoon, and I'm going to get them for you, and when you go back later, please give them to her for me." ”
"Lily was summoned to the city and hasn't come back for half a month?" When Harrest heard this, he knew something must be wrong.
Lily is a girl from the village, about the same age as Hallest. In the middle of the night, when Rhine and Halleste came home from their practice in the mountains, they could often see the girl picking vegetables by the river. The girl looked bright, but her face was a little paler and a little thinner.
At this moment, Issa's face was really earthy, he was already overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere, and he really wanted to drink the wine in front of him in one gulp. But that's just a thought, and those who have enjoyed happiness are generally afraid of death.
"Old dog! What did you do to Lily? You think before you answer! Rhine directly drew his long sword and pierced it into the table.
"That girl...... I was bought as a servant by a rich man in the next city......" The clerk trembled as he looked at the sword inserted in front of him, and told the truth in an instant.
The old man who stood up had a blank look in his eyes and sat back in his chair. He didn't even bat Issa.
"Who bought it?" La Nina didn't expect that there was human trafficking in this small town, and these people were really lawless in the mountains.
Matthew Longfrew...... The son of the lord of the city of Gobimore......" Issa said tremblingly.
The soldiers outside the village heard the movement inside and immediately ran over to check. They saw the sword in front of the lord of the city. But they saw that the city lord was scared like a turtle grandson in front of the two teenagers, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Harrest, get on your horse! Go get Lily back now! "Snow Season stood up, he didn't often tell Harrest, but this time he had to do what he said.
Harreste didn't hesitate for five hours to get from here to Moore on horseback alone. Without delay, he turned on his horse in the darkness of the night and rushed out like a black sword.
La Niña had wanted to press her guilty and convict her according to the letter of the law, but now it seems that there is no need for it. "You two are not even qualified to give wine"
La Nina took out a small cage from the Eternal Crystal, which was used by the fourth-order powerhouse, it was really good to count these two scum.
"Tomorrow at noon, you're going to die an ugly death!"
La Nina hoisted the two in the air, dismissed the soldiers, and asked the villagers one by one if there were any special circumstances.
The soldiers were just taking money to do things, not as iron as the soldiers and Temulon who closed the giant gate. In their hearts, Issa died when he died, and someone would become the lord of the city sooner or later. When the soldiers drove the carriage back, they only glanced at the two people in the cage a few times.
"Lord Castle, help......" the clerk prayed in the cage.
"Don't... Don't be afraid, if I don't go back at night, my wife will know that something is wrong. As long as we don't die now, someone will come to our rescue tomorrow! Issa still has a desire to live.
