Act Nine: The Hidden Blade

Ota City, inside the Lord's Mansion.

"Did the farmer's son and the down-and-out knight's son really go to the Gate?" City Lord Issa looked at the report handed over and asked ecstatically.

"Yes, they bought two horses at the cattle market, and it should be close by now." A soldier on one knee reported.

"Well, these two little things have always been a big problem for me, and I guess they won't be of use to me. It's only fitting to eradicate them at the Giant Gate this time! Go find two mercenaries! Issa commanded in a loud voice.

The kneeling soldier agreed, and went out and summoned two mercenaries from the nearest tavern.

These two mercenaries are perennial slash-licking fellows, and their naked bodies are covered in scars.

"You two, go to the giant gate to do something for me...... When it is done, these two gold coins will be yours. Issa pulled out two gleaming gold coins and said to the two mercenaries.

"Hehe, now the money is so easy to make? Two children's heads can be sold for such an expensive price! "One of the mercenaries went straight up and took the gold coins down." I'll take the money first, and you'll wait to collect the head, Lord of the City. ”

"Red Dragon, I didn't expect us to be lucky. Don't worry, city lord, it's just two children, just waiting for our good news. Another mercenary also walked up to the city lord and took another gold coin.

"You'd better not let me down, or I'll be interested in your heads!" Issa thought to herself.

The city lord was very upset by the attitude of these two mercenaries, but these two were captain-level figures in the mercenary world after all, and they still had a group of small minions under them, so they didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff.

"My lord, are those two teenagers really that threatening?" The city lord's wife came out of the back room and asked.

"Have you forgotten the knight from ten years ago? That man killed three hundred demons by himself! His son even knocked out the sword of the knight captain Okai with a sword in the knight test! If you let them grow, they will surely take revenge on me! Issa was young, he had had a smooth life and was rarely afraid of anyone, but the man ten years ago had unreservedly inspired the fear in his heart.

The lady of the city lord looked at the angry Isa, did not speak again, and silently retreated into the room.
