Section 3 Three Towns III.
The crowd surrounded Duran and his party to the other end of the street, where most of them stopped very consciously.
"In front of you is the third district, which is not something that ordinary people like us can get into. Only official members of the Black Crowd are allowed to enter - with the exception of you, of course. Duran. A zealous man explained, his eyes filled with fervent hope, as if he saw a bright future in Duran.
The contrast between the front and back caught Duran a little off guard, these guys changed their faces too quickly, right? As soon as he took out Andrew's head, all the previous doubts were erased, although the Fernanda Continent is largely respected by force, but it is not so exaggerated, right?
As if seeing the doubts in Duran's heart, the man laughed: "Young man, we Tusosians are so direct, you can kill that dragon man mage and avenge your teacher, that's enough." This alone will earn you our respect and recognition - of course, whether you can sit in the position of the leader of the black clad will depend on whether the members of the black, especially the two stern leaders, can approve of you, come on! β
"Tusosia? I didn't know that the inhabitants of the three towns were all Tusosians. Duran thought for himself.
No wonder they would support the cause of the black-clad people to rebel against the Dragonman Empire so much - in fact, if there was to be a selection on the entire continent for the [human group that hates dragonmen the most], then the Royal Family of Erdinger would definitely rank first, after all, the appearance of the Dragonman Empire directly ended the thousand-year-long rule of the Royal Family of Erdinger; The second, however, is definitely the Tusosians, who are characterized by northerners with high foreheads, blue eyes, and fair skin. Most of them live in the northern plains, and are said to be a hybrid descendant of the Anzedi and the Ember and even the High Elves - most importantly, they were the main force of the rebellion in the three northern provinces. After that rebellion, the Tusosians in the three northern provinces were all reduced to slavery and subjected to endless enslavement, which was the beginning of the enmity between the Tusosians and the Dragons.
Only the Tusosians can be so straightforward and calm, they respect the strong and sympathize with the weak, and judge right and wrong very simply.
At this time, Duran noticed that on the other side of the street, several masked people dressed in black were standing there quietly, silently waiting for Duran.
Kate whispered in Duran's ear, "The first two are the two leaders, Lord Sinclair on the left, and Lord Rudy on the right, and the two of them are no less important than Mr. Cho in the black-clothed crowd. β
Duran nodded, he and Kate walked across the street, and just as Ironhide and Simodo and the others were about to follow, several black-clothed people behind the two leaders suddenly stopped them: "A few members who are not members of the black-clothed people, please stop." β
Simodo's eyes widened: "The duty of a mercenary is to be inseparable from his employer. β
One of them glanced at Duran and said stiffly, "It's the rule." β
Duran frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Seamus, you guys, wait for me outside." β
Simodo snorted, and his gaze gradually became unkind as he looked at the few men in black.
Duran also had some doubts in his heart, although the rules of the black-clothed people as a revenge organization must be strict, but as one of the candidates for the black-clothed people, and the next leader personally designated by the previous leader, their attitude towards them was too cold.
Duran could even feel a faint hint of hostility in it.
Duran was completely confused as to where this hostility came from, and he could only hope that he was suspicious.
Kate glanced at him with some concern, but surprisingly did not open her mouth to explain, as if as soon as she entered the third district of the Three Towns, the air also became cold.
Duran strode forward, and before he could speak, the man in black named Rudy said coldly, "Are you Duran?" β
Duran nodded.
"Hand over your Ring of Thorns. That's an order. β
Duran was a little confused, wasn't he and the black-clothed people in the same group? Why is this guy ordering himself like that?
He didn't laugh angrily: "Sir, I don't know what you ordered me from?" The leader of the Black? I'm sorry, but I'm not a full member of the Black Crowd right now, and your orders are not valid for me. β
Rudy nodded and said: "Sharp teeth and sharp teeth can't change your weak strength, do you know that there is a rule in the third district of the three towns, not a member of the black-clothed group, once you enter and are discovered, there is only one way to die." β
Duran frowned and said, "I don't remember offending you. Mr. Rudy. β
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually becoming wrong, Kate hurriedly interjected, "Lord Rudy...... Duran, although he has not become an official black-clad congregation, has been designated by Mr. Cho as the next leader. Lannon saw it all with his own eyes. β
Rudy glanced at Kate, "Little girl from the Vilas family, this is not the place for you to interject. But for the sake of the hard work of going out this time, I might as well explain it to you. If you had returned to Three Towns as soon as that idiot had died, I would never have stripped him of his Ring of Thornsβbut you didn't. β
Kate said anxiously: "But Duran, he managed to kill Andrew and bring back his head." β
Rudy replied indifferently: "Such a stupid decision is not advisable, and even if the result is a fluke, he does not have the qualities of a leader." β
Before Kate could speak, Duran had already received: "So, Lord Rudy, do you think that the necessary qualities of a leader include antiquity and stubbornness?" In addition, although you are the leader of the black-clothed people, please stop speaking disrespectfully to the teacher, otherwise you will ......"
Duran is not a wreck, he is scolded and doesn't return the favor, he has already seen that this Rudy is clearly an old stubborn, not only disrespects the teacher, but also despises the ability of young people, where will Duran give him good words to listen to?
Rudy was furious: "Boy, what do you want to say? β
Duran suddenly reached out his left hand and snapped his fingers indifferently. In an instant, a tongue of fire suddenly emerged from his palm: "If I'm not mistaken, Lord Rudy, like Andrew, is a master of the gold rank, right?" β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely cold. Kate looked at Duran in surprise, while the rest of the men in black also showed shocked emotions.
The meaning of Duran's words could not be more obvious - your strength is about the same as Andrew, if I can kill Andrew, I can kill you!
He's actually threatening Rudy! One of the leaders of the Blacks!
This guy is young and has just come to the Three Towns, so he dares to directly threaten the leader of this place? It's incredible! Everyone present was stunned by Duran's arrogance.
"Lord Rudy is going to break out, Lord Rudy is going to break out!" A few black-clothed people thought silently in their hearts, the last time Lord Rudy broke out, a few black-clothed people who didn't patrol on time were stripped naked and hung on wooden poles in the market area of the Three Towns, hanging for a whole day.
Sure enough, Rudy's already cold tone became even more terrifying - his whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the ice cave, and every word carried a cold air that penetrated deep into the bone marrow: "Boy, are you threatening me? β
Duran said calmly: "I came with good intentions, but I was met with inexplicable hostility. If it weren't for the teacher, I wouldn't have spoken to you in the first half of the sentence. In short, Lord Rudy, we should not be enemies - but some extreme cases are not ruled out, and I can only refrain from doing so. If you have any doubts about my strength or ability, you can come to me at any time, as long as I am still in the Three Towns, and I will be with you at any time. β
Rudy took a step forward, and at that moment, a hand pulled him back.
Sinclair, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "You two men, you two won't fight before Qiu's funeral, right?" Rudy, little guy is right, you can put that stinky face at the members of your group, he is the next leader appointed by Qiu, and he is equal to us, and you really don't have the authority to order him. If that's all you want to talk to Duran, can you continue to take care of the physical training of those new recruits? You're good at it, aren't you? β
Rudy snorted, glared at Duran, and walked away.
Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief: "As for Duran, I guess you didn't come back to fight, right?" β
Duran smiled and said, "I thought that the leaders of the black-clad people were the same as the teachers, but Lord Rudy did not expect me. β
Sinclair said thoughtfully, "Cho is indeed a strange fellow, but I have to admit that he is as wise as a torch, and there are not many young people like you who are so good at this age." β
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Autumn's funeral is just two days away, and you can live in a house in the 3rd arrondissement for those days - but I suggest you live with the ordinary residents of the Three Towns. First, I came to the province to meet with Rudy every day, and second, I could also get acquainted with the three towns. After all, this will probably be your home from now on......" Sinclair said with a smile.
Duran nodded, looking at Rudy who was fading away: "Lord Rudy has a bad relationship with the teacher?" β
Sinclair was silent for a moment before saying, "They are the best brothers." To be honest, Qiu's death hit him hard, he was almost grief-stricken, and his whole person lost weight. β
Duran was stunned, this guy was so different that he couldn't see it.
