Chapter 067. The invitation of the viscount behind the scenes
Of course, Levi remembered that when he was exploring the fresh herring resources on the Silver Coast, he happened to take a dozen passengers back along the way, but now it seems that these guys, who are supposed to be lumberjacks and miners, are already suspicious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It's just that how could Levi and Green First Officer know about the subsequent series of conspiracies, and under the matchmaking of the dead Celli Jr., they also dragged these passengers back to Grey Mist City.
And he looked at the old man in front of him, although he still had a mocking smile on his face, but there was also a little solemnity in his eyes. Slowly raising his hand, the Barbary pirates around Levi suddenly understood, and slowly spread out one by one, and 120 people also forcibly drew a seven or eight meter open space in the middle of the road. Their hands also held the wooden handle of the scimitar at their waists, and their faces glared fiercely at the group of civilians who dared to approach, forming a human wall very domineeringly.
However, in the midst of this human wall, the old militia of Bar Town, who had been pointed at by the Arab scimitar with a graceful arc, still had a calm and ordinary look on his face. Although he is older, the energy of the years has also brought him abundant experience, that is, he is surrounded by so many people, and a flat smile appeared on his already wrinkled face: "Mr. Levi, do you want to go to the inner city?" ”
"Where I want to go, it seems to be my freedom."
Squinted slightly, but the mockery on Levi's face was still curled at the corners of his mouth. Slowly taking two steps back, he looked at the seemingly fearless old militiaman of Barr in front of him, and his hands in his coat pockets gently stroked the handle of the flintlock pistol. Levi already had murderous intent in his heart, he couldn't reconcile with the so-called rebel nobleman, and he didn't care about the life and death of the old guy in front of him, he just opened his mouth and asked, "Can you still force me to go somewhere?" ”
"Not me, Mr. Levi." And the old militiaman still had a smile on his face, as if he couldn't notice the blade that was still shining with cold light around him, and slowly took half a step forward, and the distance was also closer to Levi, and his hoarse voice also lowered and said slowly: "It's our Viscount Your Excellency, asking you to go and see him." After a pause, the smile on his wrinkled face was even more triumphant, and he nodded lightly as if he had a chance in hand: "Your Excellency the Viscount means that you must go." ”
"Oh, that's funny."
The mockery at the corners of Levi's mouth became more and more intense, but his eyes were as solemn as a mountain. Snorting slowly, he was forcibly calming the emotions in his heart, squinting slightly and slowly taking half a step forward like this old militiaman. The distance between the two was very close, and Levi's hand was directly raised and pinched on his thin neck, slowly raised his chin, and said lightly: "Then tell your viscount now, Lao Tzu is not free, and he doesn't want to go." ”
His hand was like a steel hoop, tightly choking the old militiaman's neck, and the killing intent in his eyes was already nakedly revealed. This is his determination, and it is also the performance of Levi, he does not need to be subservient all the time now, he has already mastered more than two or three hundred people, now is not the time when there is only one Devo merchant ship and a dozen sailors! It was the outer harbor of Grey Mist City, and if he really wanted to stir up a commotion, it would be no less deadly than the group of thieves from the Ketuf River, and even more deadly because of the artillery he had!
"You... You..."The old militiaman's face was already red, but the hand around his neck that was slowly clenching made his whole body dissipate, and even if his hand was vigorously breaking Levi's fingers, he couldn't move at all, but his eyes widened and his mouth widened, and he couldn't breathe air when he gasped. And this old militiaman looked at Li Wei's eyes with indifferent murderous intent, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, closed his eyes and roared hoarsely: "Rao... Spare me..."
The fear in his heart shattered his original courage, and even his faith was insignificant under the threat of death. There was even some kind of tear in the corner of the old militiaman's eye, he was just a messenger, and he was not even qualified to have dentures in his mouth. Now he looked at Levi as if he was about to strangle himself to death, tears streaming down the wrinkled corners of his eyes, and his mouth grew and struggled like a herring on the shore eager to return to the sea.
"Now you see, we'll be able to talk, won't we?"
The mockery at the corners of his mouth became more and more high, but Levi's hand that was holding the old militiaman tightly slowly loosened, watching him kneel on the ground with weak legs due to unsteady breathing, reached out and took out a velvet handkerchief in the pocket of his windbreaker, gently wiped his hands that were not actually dirty, tilted his head slightly and looked at the gradually clogged pedestrians around him, and snorted coldly in his nose and said, "Tell that viscount that I don't want to get involved." ”
"Whew... And the old militiaman just sat down on the ground, trembling his hands and clutching the masonry of the ground, as if he could have the slightest strength to raise his head and look at Levi. But he thought of the instructions of the steward when he came, and the fear of the failure of the mission made him swallow and spit at the mouth, gritted his teeth and didn't know where to muster up the courage, and whispered to Levi: "You will regret it." ”
"Perhaps."
Li Wei snorted coldly in response, the mockery on the corner of his mouth turned into disdain, and without hesitation, he turned around and walked in the direction that should have been going. The group of Barbary pirates behind him also looked around with a low grin, and the intimidated pedestrians who had been approaching took a few steps back, and then reinserted the scimitar that had been drawn in half, and then walked quickly and satisfactorily to keep up with Levi's pace.
Not far from the street, several groups of city defense infantry armed with spears also happened to patrol here, forming a queue side by side, but did not enter the street directly, but looked at Levi's mighty procession, as if swaggering through the city, with a look of fear on his face. They didn't want to experience another terrible fight after experiencing the invasion of the thieves on the Ketuf River, especially looking at Levi's fierce appearance, they were familiar with the dark rules of the outer harbor, and they didn't want to provoke this group of sailors too much.
After all, they had gone on an ocean voyage for an unknown amount of time, and when they appeared in this Gray Mist City, all they needed was unbridled enjoyment. Scuffles and brawls in the taverns were a daily occurrence almost throughout the Outer Harbour, and vendettas in the dark alleyways were not unprecedented, and if the city guards were to take care of all of this, they would not be able to multiply their manpower several times over. In fact, their role is only to maintain basic law and order and the safety of Gray Mist City, as long as there is no large-scale street scuffle, this group of guys in the city defense team will not care.
Levi and his party also walked towards the front, and the tall stone walls of the inner city of the Gray Mist City in the distance gradually appeared in front of them, and the towering arrow towers were also like giants guarding the nobles of the inner city, bringing the most reassuring sense of security. And the elite infantry of the inner city, armed with halberds and chain mail, also patrolled outside the city gates, like a dividing line, and the smooth road in front of it, which was completely made of stone, already belonged to the world of decent people.
"My brethren, in a moment you will put on the appearance of a lawful citizen."
However, looking at the city gate in front of him, Levi could already see the crossbowmen and archers above the city walls faintly raised and aimed at them. Slowly touching the sterling silver ring on his right index finger, Levi still turned his head to look at the Barbary sailors behind him, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Be careful, at least it's someone's territory now!" ”
"Okay head, don't worry!" The Barbary pirates burst out laughing, but their hideous appearance was completely different from the so-called law-abiding citizens. Even the more than twenty elite infantry of the inner city armed with halberds at the gate of the city had already stood in a row side by side, holding the cold halberd in their hands diagonally and aiming at this place, making no secret of their appearance of being ready for battle.
