Chapter 19: Acting Lord
Outside the tree house, Old Jack looked at the self-proclaimed middle-aged man in front of him and his subordinates with an ugly face, Gloria was pale, because of the language barrier, Ren Tingting looked at the two sides curiously, and didn't understand what was going on.
Seeing Ren Tingting and Gloria walking together, Zhuo Ao suddenly had a very strange feeling.
"Who is he?" Zhuo Ao looked at the middle-aged man, and asked the elf beauty beside him, this middle-aged man who looked brainless and arrogant actually made his Qi Hope Technique induce, which means that this person has the ability to threaten him.
"He's the lord of Punktown, Jet. Krichona. The elven maid obviously had a very bad impression of this lord, and when she spoke, the expression on her face was very ugly.
"Oh?" Zhuo Ao looked at Jet, but he didn't expect that on the first day he came to Punk Town, he bumped into this impostor, which can be regarded as fate.
"Don't get excited, as the mayor of Punk Town and the lord of this territory, I think it is the duty of a good lord to understand the lives of the people in the town, and besides, I just want to invite these two beautiful young ladies to visit my castle, and I have no other meaning." Jett has a personable look, putting aside the arrogance and arrogance that can't be concealed, this fake lord is definitely a handsome old guy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jett, but please allow us to decline your invitation." Gloria said lightly, stretched out her hand to grab Ren Tingting, and walked straight towards the tea restaurant.
Two burly swordsmen blocked the doorway, blocking their way.
"I'm so sorry." Jett smiled and looked at the beautiful backs of the two girls, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes: "Although it is a bit abrupt, I suspect that the two of them are likely to be related to the disappearance of the elves that has caused a lot of noise in the town recently, and I hope the two of them can cooperate with our investigation." ”
"Take them back to the castle." Behind Jett, a captain-like swordsman said to several swordsmen with an expressionless face.
"Come with us." A swordsman reached out and grabbed Ren Tingting's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Ren Tingting frowned slightly, and slapped her palm with some disgust.
"Poof~" Although it was just a casual palm, but Ren Tingting's strength was so strong, how could a city guard who was not a fourth-order swordsman be able to withstand it, in the incredible eyes of everyone around, the city guard's chest was completely sunken, his body was in the air, and he flew out of a distance of three zhang, his eyes glared angrily, with a sense of confusion and unwillingness, and his pupils had dilated.
The scene became silent for a moment, even Jet, who was a holy swordsman, had a touch of surprise on his face at this moment, the city guards were not strong, even if they were the few who followed him, except for the captain who had the strength of a fourth-order great swordsman, the others were only third-order level, these were already the elites of the city guards in Punk Town, and for him, he naturally had the ability to kill at will, but looking at a slender sweet girl, who casually killed an elite of the city guards with one palm, this visual shock surprised him, he knew very well, On the black-haired girl just now, there was not the slightest fluctuation of vindictiveness or magic, that is to say, to do this step with her own strength, what a strong physique it would take.
After being slightly stunned, Jett's gaze at Ren Tingting became brighter, and he sneered: "Miss, I now suspect that you have something to do with the elf disappearance, please cooperate with our investigation." ”
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ren Tingting, if he could kill a third-order warrior with his hand, there was no need for a fourth-order great swordsman, Jet was ready to take action in person, tame this girl with strange powers, if she cultivated it well in the future, she might bring unexpected surprises to the family.
"If the strength is strong, it means a crime, so as the strongest 'lord' in Punk Town, shouldn't you clarify it for yourself first?" A palm stretched out from the side, and grabbed Jet's palm stretched out to Ren Tingting, Zhuo Ao looked at Jett with a sneer on his face, and deliberately bit the word lord very hard.
"Who are you?" Jett wanted to break away, but found that the other party's hand was like iron, even if he tried his best, the other party's hand didn't even move, and he couldn't help but be secretly horrified, and looked at Zhuo Ao vigilantly.
"Answer my question!" Zhuo Ao's eyes were cold, and he felt the other party's fighting spirit surge, and the internal force also surged out at the same time.
"Joke, I'm the lord of Punktown, how could I do such a thing to my people?" On Jett's thick arms, as the fighting spirit continued to surge, the roots of the green tendons burst out.
"I'm sorry, in addition to your strength, your behavior and personality are difficult for me to think of a noble nobleman, take the liberty of asking, can you show your identity certificate to prove your lordship?" Zhuo Ao looked at Jett with an indifferent smile on his face: "As far as I know, the lord and title of Punk Town were the final rewards of the Leysin City Fighting King Contest a year ago, but you don't seem to be the contestants at that time!" ”
"Presumptuous, I'm a member of the Golden Family, an earl, am I not qualified to control such a town?" Jett said angrily.
"I haven't heard of it." Zhuo Ao shook his head: "And the high title and the status of the lord seem to be two different things, and the lord of Punk Town should be a baron, right?" ”
"Leysin City has been reduced to a dead city, and the lord who was granted the status of lord at the beginning is likely to have died, and my lordship was granted by Ares himself!" Jett's fighting spirit was surging, and he used all his fighting energy, and finally struggled out of Zhuo Ao's hands, staring at Zhuo Ao: "Who are you?" ”
"Even if Ares is the governor of the province of Leyson, it doesn't seem to have the right to deprive any lord of his domain, does he?" Zhuo Ao looked around, and did not immediately show his identification, anyway, in the case of the lord's life and death is unknown, it is understandable for Ares to appoint a acting lord, even if he shows his lord certificate now, with the situation in this town, it is difficult for him to be recognized by everyone when he first arrives, whether it is a foreign race or a human, before Ares did not get the anger of the heavens, it is not appropriate to reveal his identity now.
"In other words, your identity is actually just a proxy lord." Looking at Jet's ugly face, Zhuo Ao said indifferently.
"This is just a small town, is it true that if that lord doesn't show up for the rest of my life, I'm going to be the acting lord for the rest of my life?" Jett said with an ugly face.
"As an earl, a tenth-order powerhouse, you just want to be the lord of a small town, I have to say, whether as a nobleman or as a powerhouse, your ideals are really surprising." Zhuo Ao shook his head, looking at Jet with an angry look in his eyes.
"You ......" Jett's face darkened, as a descendant of the Golden Family, this was already an insult, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that he couldn't refute it.
"Lord Acting Lord, I think you should leave, this is my property, and now, because of your abuse of power and the intention of insulting the townspeople, I am very disgusted with your inferior character, therefore, my restaurant, you are not welcome, and please leave." Zhuo Ao took Gloria, Ren Tingting and Old Jack and entered the restaurant directly amid the wanton laughter of a group of aliens around him.
Jett watched the door slam shut in the dining room, his face flushed, it was the first time since he was born, as a descendant of the Golden Family, that he had suffered such an insult.
Listening to the wanton ridicule of a group of orcs and dwarves around him, Jetson stared at him coldly, however, it is easy to say that ordinary people are afraid of his power, but a group of orcs who are afraid of chaos in the world are very simple to glare back, not buying it at all.
Damn aliens, one day, I'll take my family's samurai to wipe you out!
Cursing viciously at these damned aliens, Jett walked towards his castle with a group of city guards.
On the second floor of the tea restaurant, Zhuo Ao looked at Ren Tingting and Gloria, who seemed to be much more intimate: "I'm curious, how do you communicate?" ”
Ren Tingting looked at Zhuo Ao playfully: "Among the secret methods of the Wu clan, there is a psychic technique that allows me to communicate with others directly through my soul. ”
"I'm coming back, it's just that your wife wants to hire me." Although she couldn't understand what the two were saying, looking at Zhuo Ao's gaze from time to time, Gloria said calmly.
"Actually, between you and me, there is no need to say this." Zhuo Ao looked at Gloria, sighed lightly, pushed back the gold card left between Gloria, and said: "Tingting and I don't know much about business, and we will need your help in the future, you know, Old Jack is unreliable." ”
In any case, Old Jack and Gloria are his few relatives in this world, especially after experiencing this separation and reunion, Zhuo Ao is very interested in this friendship.
"Hey, Zhuoao, it's going to make me sad when you say that." Old Jack looked at Zhuo Ao with dissatisfaction.
"I know, you are a person who does big things, how can you care about such small things?" Gloria looked at Zhuo Ao, with an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart, and said calmly.
Big deal?
Zhuo Ao looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, he didn't have any concept of what was going on, he just didn't want to wander with him after the arrival of the buds.
