Chapter 14: Calm down and repay the people
At this time, Uso has no room to turn around!
Now he has only two paths to take.
One of them is to admit it and release Gareon directly to ease the conflict between himself and the hunters.
When I have a chance in the future, I'm trying to find a way to get back to the field.
The second is to find another excuse to keep Garon in prison and confront the hunters head-on.
It's just that this way, things will go in the worst direction.
And at the end of the day, Uso doesn't have any defensible reason to keep Garon in custody.
At most, at most, it is to punish the crime of trespassing into someone else's house without permission.
However, under the laws of the Empire, the crime of breaking into someone's house without theft and violence was not committed.
Penalties are then imposed at a very low level, up to five lashes and three days of public servitude.
But this kind of punishment is nothing to Garon, who has followed the old gun in and out of the mountains and forests since he was a child.
What's more, Al is Lord Grant's eldest son after all, although he is currently ostracized by his stepmother.
However, once Lord Grant returned to Linshan Town, his status would be restored immediately.
It's okay to make a small move in secret, but if you embarrass Al head-on, his position as mayor will inevitably be jeopardized in the future.
Ten thousand steps back, Uso couldn't do that just because Lancer and Dylan revealed their appreciation and affection for Al.
Otherwise, the ass of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances was not patted, but it caused a commotion.
In the midst of his thoughts, Uso had already made a decision.
Prepare to convict Garon of the corresponding crime of trespassing into someone's house without permission.
Although it was not a felony and the punishment was light, it at least gave him a step down.
At least on the surface, it wasn't that Mayor Uso was afraid of the hunters, but that he strictly enforced the law.
It's just that sometimes, things often go bad by accident.
In front of Uso were five guards armed with bows and arrows.
After all, in the face of hunters who basically use bows and arrows as their main weapons, the mayor of the town also has to have long-range attack methods.
However, the bad lies in one of the extremely young guards.
The long confrontation made the young guard very nervous.
Just as Uso was about to speak, he coughed softly.
And this voice directly broke the string in the young guard's head.
The young guard subconsciously let go, and an arrow instantly hit a hunter in the shoulder.
This arrow directly caused the remaining guards and the mayor's guards to move towards the hunters at the same time!
The guards raised their rough swords and rushed towards the hunters.
The hunters, on the other hand, drew their bows and shot arrows, or raised their firewood axes and iron forks to rush towards the guards and guards.
What was supposed to be an incident that ended peacefully has now intensified in an instant and turned into a fire.
This directly caused the residents of Linshan Town, who were watching the bustle around, as well as foreign businessmen, to flee out.
Pushing and trampling, the injured do not know how many.
As for the center of the conflict, in the blink of an eye, everyone was injured, and Uso was stunned and didn't know what to do.
With such a large-scale fire and weapon fight, he, the mayor of the town, would definitely be punished greatly if he did not handle it properly.
Even if he had the support of the nobleman in Far Mountain City behind him, it was impossible for him to be unharmed.
In an instant, Uso came up with a series of excuses to shirk responsibility.
Garon violated the laws of the Empire, and the hunters of Linshan Town gathered to make trouble, dissatisfied with the mayor's fair handling.
As a result, the mayor was attacked, but fortunately he was repelled by his men and did not cause further losses.
Thinking of this, Usuo directly shouted in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "The hunters in Linshan Town gathered to make trouble.
According to the laws of the Empire, all of them must be tried and convicted, and meritorious deeds will be rewarded afterwards!"
As soon as these words came out, the guards and guards under Uso perked up and launched a fierce attack on the hunters.
At this time, Al protected Gal and Carrie and sent them to Aunt May's arms.
Then he directly pulled his bow and shot arrows, and pinned the two guards who shot the hardest with arrows through their thighs to the ground.
At the same time, Al instantly turned on the [Focus] state, and the whole person rushed into the crowd like a tiger into a flock.
Or swing a fist, or shoot a leg, or draw a bow and shoot an arrow.
With each attack, El will take down a guard or guard.
But he didn't hurt a single person, and he was even able to save two hunters who were nearly hacked to death.
El is not proficient in martial arts, but his movements are streamlined and accurate to the extreme, but they are extremely effective in melee of this level.
Under his leadership, the hunters, who already had a numerical advantage, suppressed the guards and guards like a bamboo.
However, what Al didn't expect was that behind the window of a guest room on the second floor of the mayor's house, there were two people watching him.
Looking at Al's streamlined and accurate attacks, Dylan nodded slightly, his face full of appreciation.
He turned his head to look at Lancer, who didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Lord Lancer, what do you think of this El?"
After a pause, Lancer spoke, "This El is indeed a talent.
Whether it is the heart or the talent, it is the best choice, and if it is cultivated by the church, it will definitely be a good hand.
At least the final achievement will not be lower than that of you, who has been practicing the knight's breathing method since you were a child. ”
Hearing Lancer praise Al like this, a small smile appeared on Dylan's face.
Then he said, "In that case, why don't we take Al out of here and send him to the church's training camp."
In that case, not only will it be able to change his fate, but it will also be able to add a reliable helper to you, Lord Lancer. ”
Dylan couldn't stop smiling as he finished speaking.
In his opinion, such words can not only repay Al for saving his life.
And it can also add a talented and reliable helper to Lancer, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But he didn't think that after hearing Dylan's words, Lancer shook his head slightly.
"Dylan, don't forget, this Lanthor is a noble son of the Holy Sword Empire.
The Church is constantly increasing its influence on the Holy Sword Empire, but the nobles are also infiltrating our Church.
I could recommend Al to a church bootcamp, but it would make people criticize me.
Even use this to attack me, unless we can be sure that El will eventually become a Bloodline Knight.
Otherwise, bringing Al to the church training camp would be more than worth the loss. ”
While Dylan isn't good at things that intrigue do, that doesn't mean he won't be judged.
He had to admit that Lancer's words made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute them at all.
However, he has a bold personality and will repay his kindness.
Al had saved them twice, and if he didn't reciprocate, Dylan would feel like a thorn in his heart.
Lancer naturally knew this, not to mention that he also had a heart to repay El for his rescue.
So he said directly: "Dylan, we can repay in a different way."
For example, we can give Al a knight's breathing method in return, and it should be enough in return. ”
Hearing Lancer's words, Dylan was first overjoyed, and then frowned and said, "The knightly breathing method of the church cannot be passed on privately.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be a big deal, but El would be in trouble. ”
"Don't worry, Dylan, I've already thought of this.
After all, my family is one of the seven major families of the church, and there are still some knightly breathing methods.
I'll find a knight's breathing method that isn't a church and give Al as a reward.
For now, let's help El get out of this incident.
Otherwise, with the actions that Al just highlighted, I am afraid that he will inevitably have to suffer a lawsuit. ”
With that, Lancer turned and walked out of the room, heading towards where Al was.
Seeing this, Dylan smiled and followed Lancer out of the room.
While Lancer and Dylan were debating what compensation Al should be given.
El had already led the hunters in an initial victory over the guards and guards who were almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.
Uso looked at Al with a little panic, stretched out his hand at him, and shouted, "Al, you are guilty.
Even if your father is a nobleman, he can't break the laws of the empire like this, gather people to fight, what do you want to do!"
Looking at Uso, who was strong on the outside, Al smiled disdainfully, and said, "Mayor Uso, it is clear that you are the first to strike.
Everyone present can see it clearly, and if Mayor Uso doesn't see it, you can ask the townspeople present.
Come to think of it, it is impossible for the townsfolk of the entire town to deceive Mayor Uso. ”
Listening to Al's words, Uso wanted to calm down and swallow a bad breath.
But Uso also knew that if he did so, the blame for this incident would inevitably fall on his head.
So Uso must find a scapegoat, and El in front of him is the best target.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Uso prepared to weave a charge against Ellro.
However, at this time, Lancer and Dylan came out.
"Mayor Uso, if El offends in any way, please ask Mayor Uso to open up.
In that case, Mayor Uso will receive my friendship, and the friendship of the church. ”
If you open the net, you will gain the friendship of the church, and if you don't, it will naturally be hatred.
Turning, Mayor Uso looked at a smiling Lancer, regretting for the first time his previous approach to the Church.
If you don't get close, it's fine, but if you offend the other party after getting close now, then the hatred may really be great.
What's more, since the church has come forward, how can he Uso fight the people of the church.
Although it was not very decent, it was still a step for him to walk down.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Uso smiled ugly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then be as Lord Lancer said."
Today's incident is just a misunderstanding, and I will release Gareon. ”
With that, Uso nodded to Lancer, and went straight back to his home in his two-story building.
For a moment, the hunters let out a shout of triumph, and no one saw the heavy resentment on Uso's face as he entered the small building.
