Chapter 123: Disputes
When Luo Tian woke up, the first thing he did was to open the ring and take a look, the box containing the gold coins was still neatly stacked, and he was relieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He had drunk too much yesterday, and if he hadn't remembered that he had a huge sum of money on him, he would have slept in the tavern yesterday.
"It's a good day~ good weather!"
Humming a strange tune, Luo Tian slowly walked out of the hotel, the sun was shining outside, the birds were singing, and everything looked so comfortable.
"It feels good to be rich!" Luo Tian stretched hard and slowly walked out along the street.
The northern part of Iron Slaughter City is a slum, and mercenaries with a bit of status are reluctant to come to this kind of place, because there is nothing but poor people here.
The streets here are narrow and dirty, and it is not uncommon to see beggars in ragged clothes, staring at passers-by with a pair of spiritless eyes, hoping that some kind person will give a bite to eat.
"No, a magician would live here?"
Luo Tian touched his head, muttered helplessly, and tried to recall the address that Ross said to confirm that he had not made a mistake.
Under a thick willow tree, Luo Tian stopped.
In front of him was a simple mansion, with low walls and dilapidated courtyard gates silently telling the master's downfall, Luo Tian's brows furrowed, this was too far from his impression of the life of a magician.
"I said, you have been in arrears for three months' rent, and your medicine has been in arrears for a long time, aren't you ready to pay it back?"
"Lord Steward, you can talk to Lord Locke again, give us a few days, and I will definitely pay it in two days!"
"Two days later? Did you say last time, it's been a few days, Austin, you're still a man, don't you stand up and say something!"
"Lord Steward, my son has gone out to look for a job, and as you know, he is a magician, and he can pay back all the money as long as he takes a task!"
"Hmph, I don't think so! You better hurry up and ask him to give me that equipment, and treat you well, don't think about any magician, he is not that material at all!"
"Don't, Steward, we'll be able to pay it back soon!"
Before Luo Tian could knock on the door, there was a quarrel from the courtyard, and he understood what was happening just by pondering.
At this time, the old woman had already begun to cry, Luo Tian couldn't listen to it anymore, coughed lightly, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Austin! Austin isn't there?"
He was greeted by a number of questioning glances, and Luo Tian looked around suspiciously as if he had just seen someone in the courtyard.
The courtyard was small, but there were quite a few people standing.
An old woman with pale hair and an equally pale face thought to be Austin's mother, according to Austin's age, his mother was at most fifty years old, but this old woman's waist couldn't straighten up, and Luo Tian would not doubt that she was seventy years old.
Standing opposite him should be the so-called steward, this old man has silver hair, a slender face, and looks like a practitioner, but for some reason he has been a steward.
Two big men were standing behind him, and the three of them were also staring at Luo Tian.
"That." Luo Tian pretended to hesitate, "Is Austin at home?"
"My lord, do you have something to do with my son?" Austin's mother asked hesitantly, "He just went out!"
Luo Tian was wearing a light blue robe at this time, he looked personable, he didn't look like an ordinary person, the steward and the two people behind him exchanged glances with each other, but they didn't speak, just looked at Luo Tian quietly.
"Oh, this guy!" Luo Tian pretended to be annoyed, and seemed to be very disappointed with the news, "I just hired him yesterday, why did he go out again, I brought all the deposit, doesn't he want to do it?"
The old woman's eyes lit up immediately, "It's okay! It's okay, I'll ask him to go to the east of the city to help me deliver a letter, and he should be back soon!"
Luo Tian's heart was bright, this old woman should be afraid that Austin would clash with this group of people, so she sent him out to hide! But of course he wouldn't say this, "That's the best, we're going to leave in the afternoon, just don't make a mistake! These people are.?"
"It's all right, they're my friends, and they'll be gone in a moment!" the old woman looked at the steward pleadingly, hoping that he would save some face for his son.
"Mission?" the steward's eyebrows raised, his face disdainful, "What mission? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Look at what you said, what did I hire him for, and do I have to tell you?"
Luo Tian was not polite, stared directly at Aum and said, "I don't know what your identity is, it's too lenient!"
"Bold!" Before the steward could speak, the big man behind him had already shouted, "The master of my family is Lord Locke, the president of the Mercenary Guild of Iron Slaughter City, and the Aum steward is responsible for issuing mercenary missions, you dare to say that!"
"Oh!" Luo Tian's face suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart were swept away, he originally doubted, looking at Austin's skills are very good, how can a magician not find a mercenary team, but Orm played this hand, then everything is very clear.
I think it's this Orm or just that Locke coveted the equipment in Austin's hand and secretly stumbled, and with him opening his mouth, which mercenary team would dare to cooperate with Austin?
"The president of a mercenary union actually became a landlord, and he still has such a dilapidated house, there is really a set!" Luo Tian didn't answer Aum's words, and said to himself, not caring about Aum's suddenly sharp gaze, "It's the first time I've heard that mercenaries are not allowed to take on tasks privately, is this the rule of Iron Slaughter City?"
"Young people don't care too much, it's easy to live long!" said Aum, who said with a gloomy meaning, which frightened the old woman into two steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
Luo Tian took a step forward, supported the old woman, and replied directly without even looking back: "The Mercenary Guild is in charge of issuing tasks, do you dare to kill people?"
Aum's eyes narrowed, he could already see that Luo Tian was purely here to stir up the situation, "The Mercenary Guild is in charge of the security of Iron Slaughter City, young man, I see that your origin is unknown, but you should go back with me and cooperate with our investigation." ”
Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this is the city of mercenaries, and the president of the trade union himself is also the city lord.
It's just that his brain turned extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of a saying, "Want to know my identity? Go to the Best Pavilion and ask who is called Luo Tian! Not all people you can afford to mess with!"
Aum was stunned for a moment, and became more and more unsure of Luo Tian's identity, others didn't know, he knew how much energy the Best Pavilion had!
"I'll look into this!" said Aum, turning his head to the old woman, "what do you say about the money you owe?"
