Chapter 16: The Human Heart (I)
"Did you hear that? This time, the defense line of the Demon Cloud Valley was almost broken by the undead, and the reason was that the Mandala family was a ghost. "In a hotel in Yorktown, a thin young man took a sip www.biquge.info of inferior ale and said mysteriously to a few friends around him.
"Laughing at you, the Mandala family is the lord of Yorktown, what good is it for the Mandala family to break the defense. And on the defensive line, many people have also seen that the loss of the Mandala family is not small. The other shook his head and retorted.
"Yes, it's impossible no matter how you look at it, is it that Pete, you have been bullied by the lord's guards recently, so you are here to deliberately speak ill of others. When they heard this, they laughed together.
"It's true, what am I lying to you for? Seeing this, the young man was immediately anxious, and immediately explained;
"I have a friend who is in the Flame Mercenary Group, and it is said that the big shots of the Flame Mercenary Group have been making frequent moves in the past two days, and they have been in contact with other mercenary groups and some powerful lonely adventurers everywhere, and it seems that they have made big moves.
And now the members of the Flame Mercenary Group are also spreading wildly, and the losses in the group this time are too great, so Captain Horn spent a lot of money to find out the truth, and now he is ready to use force against the Mandala family, and Captain Horn has not denied the news spread in this group, this must be a tacit acquiescence. β
"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard some rumors, is it true?" said Joseph, who was next to him, frowning, thoughtful.
"It's going to turn the sky upside down. Everyone gasped.
No matter how brutal the lord is or what mistakes he makes, the lord is still the ruler. Because the aristocracy represents a system, a huge unimaginable interest group, the aristocracy can oppress the commoners, the commoners can be angry, they can leave the territory of the nobility, but they can never rebel against the nobility, this is an iron rule that everyone acquiesces into.
"Dude, what are you doing here. "There was a man who rushed into the hotel and ran in front of everyone.
"Horn Commander of the Flame Mercenary Regiment is exposing the conspiracy of the Mandala family in the mercenary square, this is really a big move, and the young master Jin Man, the descendant of the Mandala family, has been tied up as a prisoner. β
"Really! Let's go. A group of people hurriedly paid the bill and rushed out of the hotel.
At this time, in front of the Mercenary Square, a large number of mercenaries and adventurers had gathered, and there were even many ordinary people. At this time, the most attractive thing on the square platform is undoubtedly a young man who is kneeling on the ground by five flowers, he is wearing luxurious clothes, but at this time he is gray-headed and bitter-faced, he is Jinman.
When Pete and Joseph arrived, it seemed that they had missed the highlights, and by this time the people in the square were already gritting their teeth and gearing up.
"That's right, the evidence is conclusive, the reason why the undead rushed through the defense line is he, the descendant of the Mandala family, Jinman, is the one who used a special magic potion, which attracted a large number of undead and caused this disaster. β
"My son died on the defensive line, and I want him to pay with blood. β
"My eldest brother and third brother are all dead, but poor my eldest nephew, who lost his father when he was only three years old, is all you bastard. β
"Kill him, kill this culprit. β
Someone below roared, and someone had already drawn his weapon with red eyes, eager to rush up and cut Kingman.
Even though the man was stopped by the Flame Mercenary Regiment, Kingman's face was so pale with fright that he almost fell to the ground.
"Quiet!" As an eighth-order warrior, the voice containing the fighting spirit echoed in the square, and it actually suppressed the anger of the entire people in the square.
"I know everyone is angry, and in fact I'm too, more than a dozen of my brothers in the Flame Mercenary Regiment have died in this man-made scourge, including myself. I hate this guy too, but please don't get carried away by the anger.
Everyone has also seen that with this guy's wretch, why does he have the courage to do such a thing, naturally because he has the support of the Mandala family, we should be angry, but we should know that we should vent the anger of this relative's suffering on the real culprit. β
"That's right, everything is a conspiracy of the Mandala family. β
"Ask Captain Horn to do justice for us and overthrow this tyrannical lord. β
"Ask Chief Horn to administer justice γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» for us. β
In the crowd, a few of the guys who were clearly Too shouted loudly, but they quickly got a reaction from the angry crowd.
"Horn, I think you have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you actually gathered a crowd here to make trouble, intending to rebel. At this moment, an angry man's voice came, and the majestic voice echoed in the square.
"The voice was γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Lord Sanman, and he was here too. On the platform of the square, Char looked up and saw dozens of guards in armor, surrounded by a sturdy middle-aged man in white linen.
Samman, the eldest brother of the previous lord, was unable to inherit the position of hereditary baron because he was an illegitimate child. Judging from the fighting spirit contained in this guy's voice, he himself is a seventh-order warrior, after the previous lord and his two younger brothers died on the defense line one after another, according to the information given by Horn, this guy should be the most capable existence of the Mandala family now.
And Horn is making such a big noise in Mercenary Square now, it is naturally impossible for Samman to sit still.
In the face of the crowd's anger and the people's eyes, who were already red-eyed, Samman looked very calm.
"Horn, don't think that you can deceive people with such clever tongues. Let me ask you, if this incident was done by the Mandala family, then why is it our Mandala family that has suffered the most casualties. Last year, the head of my mandala family died in the hunt of the undead in order to protect Yorktown, and this time the undead riot, my two younger brothers also died. Their bones are still alive now, and my Mandala family is still preparing for the funeral.
And some villains, even seeing that my Mandala family is weak, secretly stirring up waves, today, I Sangman is here, if you want to kill me, come on, I Sangman continues. Samman tore off his white sackcloth and yelled at the crowd, his piercing eyes scanning the angry crowd with all their momentum.
"Bang bang!" came the applause, and its source was Horn on the square stage.
"Say that I am clever, I think it is Lord Sangman, you are, but what's the use of letting you say it, the human and material evidence are here. Horn gestured to Kingman, who was kneeling on the ground.
Stared at by countless pairs of eyes with different meanings, Jin Man's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he had to pin his hopes on the man opposite the people, the uncle with a calm personality and unruly face. "Uncle Sanman, I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ». β
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry Sanman. "You bastard who betrayed the family, I really misjudged you, I didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing behind your family's back. β
Looking at the uncle who seemed to be extremely angry, Kingman was anxious, he wanted to explain, hoping that this uncle, who was known for his wisdom and stability, would understand him, and he did not think about betraying the family.
"Uncle Sanman, listen to my explanation, in fact, this is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ». β
"Don't explain, my Mandala family is a loyal martyr, and your father, third uncle, and fourth uncle are all heroes. If you really still have a little bit of shame, just cut yourself, don't make excuses. Sang Man said solemnly.
"Uncle Sangmanγ»γ»γ»γ»γ» why?" Looking at Sangman, whose eyes were cold, Jinman's heart also became cold.
