Chapter 498: Half an ear

Durrell is a big city on par with Grantsell and Perth, but it's completely different in style from the other two.

Durrell City has a more solemn and solemn feeling, which makes people feel that the city is extremely strong. From the outside, the thick walls and tall buildings undoubtedly do not speak of the strength and strength of the city.

Entering the city is a different feeling. The mansions of the great nobles were all magnificent, while the houses of the commoners were orderly...... Although it is low, it is quite neatly arranged.

It was an orderly city, with distinct hierarchies, nobles being nobles and commoners being commoners...... At least most of the time.

And there are also adventurers on the streets. Adventurers don't seem to care so much about the rules of the city, but they don't dare to be too presumptuous. The Ere Empire is known for its iron will, and if adventurers want to make trouble here, they really have to consider whether they can bear the consequences.

Ji Ran and the others naturally didn't make trouble here, they just inquired about the location of the Bright family.

"You want to ask about the Bright family's mansion? On the east side of the city. If you see a mansion that is taller and larger than all the other buildings in the vicinity, then there is no doubt that it is the Bright family. ”

After receiving a gold coin, the bartender of the tavern happily told Ji Ran of the location of the Bright family.

It turns out that the Bright family is so conspicuous...... Baker felt a little sorry for that gold coin. But since it was given out, there was no reason to get it back. The group followed the bartender's instructions and soon arrived at the location of the Bright family.

The Bright family's mansion was, as the bartender said, much taller than the other mansions in the vicinity. People who have walked through here. No one could possibly fail to notice here.

It's not that they haven't seen the nobility in other countries. But no other country's aristocracy has such grandeur. Perhaps only the nobles and commoners of the Ere Empire are clearly distinguished. And countries that retain a strict hierarchy will only happen to this kind of thing.

Both Baker and Ben were a little reserved...... After all, they've never seen a big scene. Looking at the gate of the mansion and the guards on both sides, they were all a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid, think about it, Uncle Rice came out of this mansion, so what else is there to be afraid of?"

Ji Ran smiled and comforted them. In fact, Ji Ran was a little nervous in his heart, but he covered it up well. From another world. He had seen many buildings that were even more glorious than this, which made him more able to bear it.

After comforting Baker and Ban, Ji Ran took a deep breath and walked towards the gate.

"Hello, we're Rice? Bright's friend. This time, I came to look for him. If he's in the family, can you let us know? ”

Ji Ran tried his best to look very educated...... Of course, he actually knows a little bit about aristocratic etiquette. It's just that he's wearing an adventurer's costume now, and if he strictly follows that etiquette, it will undoubtedly become quite weird...... I'm afraid that I will get ridicule from the other party.

Rather than that. It's better to be more direct.

"Rice?" Hearing Ji Ran's words, the two guards looked at each other. Expressions become complicated.

"Maybe I can give you a briefing, and you'll just wait here."

The attitude of the guards was by no means friendly, but it was not too bad, just cold. Then, one of the guards turned around and walked towards the inside of the gate.

"Looks like ...... Rice's situation here is still very complicated......" Ji Ran returned to Baker and Ben's side, looking at the gate, and his words were meaningful.

"Of course...... Les has been away from the family for so many years, and deep down he doesn't want to rely on the Bright family anymore. But now he didn't turn against the Bright family...... There must be a reason for this. But no matter how you think about it, it won't be Uncle Rice's return to the family, right? ”

Baker sneered.

And Ben also nodded: "People within the Bright family may not like Uncle Rice either, so the expressions of those two guards can be explained." And Uncle Rice is a gold-level powerhouse...... No one will benefit from forcing a war. Maybe the current situation is some kind of stalemate. ”

A group of people were discussing here, while the guard on the other side was looking straight ahead. For Ji Ran and others, he has no power to dispose of them...... It takes someone in the family who is more talkative.

"Who are these?" Suddenly, a voice popped up.

The sound did not come from inside the gate, but from another direction outside the gate. Several men and women stood together, gorgeously dressed, and looked at Ji Ran and them with a frown.

The guard apparently knew the group and was respectful: "They said they were here to find Rice, and they were friends with Rice. ”

There is no honorific for Les, which also means that the guards don't have that much respect for Les's identity.

"Looking for Rice?"

These men and women are all young people, and they are slightly younger than Ji Ran. The back few of them looked at Ji Ran and them curiously, while the first few had a look of disgust on their faces.

"You're here to find that traitor? I'm afraid I also have a fancy for the property of our Bright family, right? It's ridiculous that anyone dares to step on the Bright family now...... There are even dirty adventurers! ”

The young man in the lead did not hide his disgust for Ji Ran and the others, and his words were even harsh.

"Dirty adventurers? Adventurers use their own hands to earn money, feed themselves, and increase their strength...... What's so dirty about this? Compared to the parasites that lie on the family's huge body and suck blood to sustain themselves, I think adventurers are much more noble. ”

Ji Ran is not a person with a good temper who can endure being scolded by others in front of him, not to mention, this guy is also quite hostile to Uncle Rice.

Uncle Rice must be bad at educating these young people...... After all, they are also related. But if you say it, you don't have so many worries.

Stronger than this kid, a child of the Bright family. It's not like I haven't fought before. What do these boys have?

"What do you say? Do you dare to say that we are parasites? We are members of the noble Bright family! I don't know how many times more noble than you dirty adventurers! Do you know what you just said? As long as I give the order. You'll be torn to shreds in no time! ”

The leading young man looked at Ji Ran with a gloomy face, but soon, he turned his gaze to Alice.

"Hmph, this little girl looks good. Okay, get out of the way of me, leave this little girl behind, and I'll reluctantly forgive you for being unreasonable! ”

As he spoke, a greedy look appeared on his face.

It's useless and. His body is as weak as a candle in the wind, and he still dares to beat Alice's idea?

Ji Ran was almost laughed at by him.

It seems that the Ere Empire is indeed rotten inside...... This kind of blatant bullying of men and women would actually happen at the door of the Bright family!

And these little guys can't figure out the shape at all...... The strongest among them is only the middle level of silver. And Ji Ran and them have two silver peaks!

In other words, as long as there is no Golden Rank to make a move, no one here will be able to keep them. Even if there is a golden rank, there is a good chance that they will escape...... At that time, the Bright family will have several enemies with great potential!

What's more, they are still friends with Rice. Les is also a member of the Bright family anyway. Is this their attitude towards their elders and friends?

Seemingly. Sure enough, it was just a group of maggots parasitic on the Bright family...... It's not even appropriate to call them flowers in their greenhouse, at least the flowers are still bright, aren't they?

"If you take a step closer, I can't guarantee that all the parts of your body will still be on you intact." Ji Ran didn't have an angry expression, he just said this indifferently.

The leading young man was indeed approaching, and he thought that these adventurers would not dare to resist his words...... I'm a member of the Bright family! It's just a group of adventurers, how can they confront the Bright family?

That Rice's friend? Joke, that guy is just a betrayer of the family, no one will speak for him!

Therefore, he continued to move forward unscrupulously, just like Ji Ran's words were the wind in his ears.

Then, suddenly, he felt a cool breeze blowing across his face.

"Stop!" And at this time, from the gate of the Blair family, an angry voice came. A figure rushed out quickly and stopped in front of Ji Ran...... But it was too late.

The boy had already felt a piercing pain in his ear, and involuntarily reached out to touch it, but suddenly felt something more in his hand.

When I took my hand and looked at it, it was half an ear.

"Ahh......h My ears! The young man cried out miserably, and his face became paler and paler...... Although his face was excessively white, like those who were overly drunk.

Ji Ran's action just now didn't even make this teenager see it at all, and he didn't even rush to the pain in the first place...... Until that half of the ear moved a little.

The person who rushed out of the gate stopped in front of Ji Ran, holding a long sword in his hand, looking at Ji Ran, shocked and angry: "Damn, you actually dare to hurt the people of the Bright family!" You and these people around you, don't want to get out of here alive! ”

Ji Ran didn't have the slightest excitement, but squinted at him: "You have been hiding behind that door for a while, right?" Haven't come out because you're going to see our jokes? And as for the half of the ear...... Even if it was a lesson for him. I will never swallow the bullying of others...... Even if he's from the Bright family. ”

Ji Ran's eyes were sharp, like a long sword, so that the guys who rushed out after him couldn't resist it.

In fact, he was now in full surprise in his heart. How can it be! This guy looks like he's just a mid-level silver strength, but he didn't even see the sword just now!

Although he rushed out and wanted to stop the sword at the first time, when he saw this guy's intention, he immediately reacted and rushed out, until he stopped in front of him During the time that the guy had finished drawing the sword and put the sword back into its sheath!

What kind of speed is this! Is this guy really just a silver mid-tier? (To be continued......)
