Chapter 23: Reversal
Vince's face flushed, but he stood still. A priceless universal spell, he doesn't want to give up like this!
"Brother guard, go in and ask, I really have an appointment! This visit is too important for me, can I turn over and see if it's all up to today!"
Vince was already close to pleading.
"Please take care of your face and leave the City Lord's Mansion quickly!"
The guard's loud voice caused another burst of laughter from the crowd.
In agony, Vince looked up with difficulty, and under the gray sky at half past eight in the morning, two guards were looking at him with a playful smile on their faces, like looking at a monkey.
Even in the face of the sewer monster, Vins's heart was no more desperate than it was now.
"Quack-squeak-"
The two solemn gates of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly shook violently, and then slowly opened from the middle, and the noise in the crowd stopped suddenly. The two guards were taken aback and quickly retreated to either side of the door, bowing their heads respectfully.
Behind the door, a gray-haired old man stood side by side with Keske's sister, a butler next to him, and a team of guards behind the three of them.
"What's going on?"
The old man frowned and glanced at the crowd gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and asked the two guards in a deep voice.
The guard on the left pointed at Wen Si fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the city lord, it's this Diao Min! Ran to the gate of the city lord's mansion early in the morning, no matter how we drove him, he just didn't leave! This is why there are so many people who watch the excitement!"
The guard on the right glared at Vins viciously as his companion spoke, but found that the other party did not see the embarrassment and panic just now, and looked fearless.
Seeing that the man was still glaring at him, Vince raised an eyebrow at him easily.
The guard on the right immediately exploded, and immediately followed the guard on the left and said, "Little request to deal with this person for disturbing the peace!!"
"Dispose of him, dispose of him, and get rid of all these untouchables in the lower city!!"
The crowd erupted in a loud shout!
Freeman, the lord of the city, turned his head to look at Vins with a hint of unkindness in his eyes.
Without waiting for Freeman to dispose of him, Vins immediately said loudly and righteously: "Lord City Lord, this is completely your two guards spewing blood! I have made an appointment with Mr. Soske, who is temporarily living in your mansion, to come to visit this morning, but these two people not only let me go, but also make things difficult for me at the door in every way, hoping that Lord City Lord will see what is going on!"
Freeman glanced at the strangely dressed Vins with disdain, and said disdainfully, "How can the Southsec guards have anything to do with someone like you......"
The malice in the crowd, which had just been suppressed by Vince, was revived with Freeman's words.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Vance immediately threw a look of help at Keske's sister.
"Are you the hunting assistant who went to the Demon Mist Forest with us that day?" Sister Keske's crisp voice sounded at the right time, not loud, but it steadily covered the vicious discussion in the crowd, and the air seemed to be quiet.
In an instant, the faces of the two guards were dead!
"It's me!!" Vince replied immediately, his loud voice echoing in front of the City Lord's Mansion!
Keske's sister, who was still wearing the black veil today, smiled at Freeman and said, "Lord of the City, this little brother is the great benefactor who saved my life in the beast tide, and in order to repay him, our guard Thorsk has made an appointment to teach him a universal spell this morning. Now he's blocked from here, maybe there's some misunderstanding."
"Universal spells?!Did I hear you right?!He was able to learn universal spells?!"
"Is this kid the prostitute's lover?How could a universal spell be taught to a pariah so casually?!"
"Is this Sosk an idiot?!"
The crowd that had just stopped was suddenly detonated by this bombshell news, and the unbelievable cries were endless!
Freeman looked away, and his old face suddenly couldn't hold back, and his anger was fiercely vented to the two guards.
He kicked the guard on the left sharply, and asked with a hideous face: "Since he has an appointment, why don't you let him go?"
The guard's face turned from white to yellow, and then from yellow to white, and said in a trembling voice, "We have not been notified that there is such a guest with such an appointment this morning. ”
"Then why don't you go and verify?!"
The rebuke became more severe.
The guard hissed and tried to say something, but only to let out a duck-like cry.
Freeman's eyes widened like brass bells, and he couldn't breathe. Now that Caryton was in the midst of the plague, he couldn't do anything about it. In order to prevent the guests of the royal city from mistakenly thinking that he was a dim and incompetent city lord, he painstakingly prepared for the reception of the guests, and prepared for several days, and even sent someone to clean the route of this morning's walk. But who knew that these two guards were so short-sighted, and they gave him such a funny drama as soon as they went out!
Although Kyryton is the city closest to the leyline corridor and a paradise for all adventurers, how many adventurers can there be in the world who dare to fight in the depths of the leyline corridor every day? Today, Caryton's economy depends only on tourism and the specialties of the leyline corridor. If Freeman hadn't built a new district, Cariton might have been a humble frontier town. And even this discerning city lord has been reduced to a third-rate character among the political figures of the current kingdom because of the decline of Caryton.
Unfortunately, Freeman is old, with three sons and a daughter, but only one can inherit his title, and the other three have to find their own way. Freeman desperately needs a chance to get out of his predicament, and just the day before yesterday, that opportunity has come - the eldest and second sons of the famous Green family in the royal city are coming to Carryton for the rite of passage, along with Glenn Green's eldest daughter!
The three future real power figures of the Green family actually all visited Carriton! How could Freeman miss such an opportunity? From the day he got the news, he asked his children to contact the other three frequently, and he was ready to fight a vigorous battle to turn around! Even if he could not let the elderly him become an official and marry the other family, he would at least have to spell out a bright future for his children in the royal city! And in the royal city, as long as the Green family agrees, even an idiot can live a noble life! For this, he must go into battle in full gear, this is an opportunity that cannot come again, he is ambitious, he is bound to win, and even finds a trace of the feeling of youth!!
But...... But, but why are these two guards so short-sighted?! Finally, when the other party is done with his own business, Freeman started his plan with hope, but as soon as he went out, he was poured a basin of cold water by his own people!
"Back to the City Lord," Vince said as he bowed to Freeman and began to beat the Reservoir Dogs.
"These two guards just said that the guards are not allowed to leave during duty hours, and they also said that for the sake of my face, please leave the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible. ”
Who has lost face so far?!Vins's ridicule hits Freeman's weakness!
"You...... Don't talk nonsense...... We didn't say it, we didn't say it, woo woo woo woo ......"
The guard, who was arrogant just now and took the lead in complaining, was as pale as paper at the moment, and he almost finished speaking in a pleading tone, and in the end he couldn't help crying.
Everyone saw that the guard was pitiful, and they also whispered about it.
"That's pretty much it. ”
"These two guards probably didn't mean to......"
"It's better to be a man or leave a line......"
Hearing these whispers, Vins coldly glanced around the crowd.
From the very beginning, the inhabitants of these new districts stood on the side of the guards. Even now, they are reluctant to admit their mistakes.
It's disgusting......
But since you choose to be a villain, you must be ready to be beaten, right?
"There are so many people on the street, don't you say that you can just find someone to ask? ”
Vins's cold and merciless words were like ice and snow in the middle of winter, shattering the last shred of hope for the two guards.
"You ...... You ......" Freeman gritted his teeth, unable to utter a complete sentence in anger. The excessive anger caused his face to quickly become bloodshot and red, and even a trace of bloodshot welled up in his eyes.
Vince was secretly taken aback, he thought that the city lord would be angry, but he never expected the other party to be so angry, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Freeman was speechless angrily, how dare the others interject, and in front of the city lord's mansion, where the crowd was endless, the sudden silence of the needle could be heard.
"Bastard thing!!"
At the critical moment, the butler, who had been standing behind Freeman, spoke up. He stepped out, past Freeman, and struck at the two guards:
"Brutes with eyes and no beads!Did the lord of the city raise you in the mansion just so that you could keep the guests out of the door when the distinguished guests visited? You are so bold!!You two are so lazy and lazy to do the waste, what do you want these legs for?!Come on!!Take these two brutes down and break their legs for me, and then let them fuck off!!"
The steward gave an order, and the guards behind the city lord rushed to the two guards at the door.
"Don't!!Lord Butler!!For the sake of me working for the City Lord's Mansion for so many years, spare me, woo woo...... I beg you, spare me, I don't dare anymore...... City Lord, help me......" The guard on the left curled up on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, unwilling to be taken away by the guard.
"Wronged, really wronged!!Little brother, I was wrong, you spare me, I will give you whatever you want......"
The guard on the right lay on the ground, wailing and pounced on Vins, who turned in disgust and didn't let him grab the corner of his coat.
"Wronged...... It's really wronged...... We are ......"
"What are the guards eating?!Hurry up and carry these two people away!!" The butler interrupted him impatiently without waiting for the guard to finish.
"How dare you scream?! Just breaking your legs is already a lot of mercy! Scream again, shout again and gouge out your eyes that are only used to vent your breath!!"
The two guards didn't dare to say anything more when they heard this, and they were led into the city lord's mansion by the two guards with sobs.
