The sound of breaking through the air sounded suddenly, and the light of the knife pierced the young man's eyes through the reflection of the snowdrift, and the sharp blade easily sliced through his unprotected throat, and blood flowed silently.

Gray's tall figure was still sitting on his horse, holding the young man's head in his hands.

With a thud, the spear in the hand of the young man slammed into the ground with a dull sound.

The city gate suddenly became chaotic and tense, and the guards poured out of the nest, surrounding Xu Nan and Gray inside.

Angry and nervous, they pointed their spears at the two outsiders.

Gray, however, made a gesture, and he looked down on the guards proudly:

"No one can be disrespectful to the nobles of the kingdom."

"What's more, this person pointed his weapon at the lord of Wildfire City, you ...... The lord of the city! ”

His voice suddenly became high-pitched:

"Isn't Wildfire City the territory of the Eastern Kingdom?"

"Have the Iceborns forgotten their oath?"

"Or is it that someone has ulterior motives and is trying to hinder the new city lord from entering the city?!"

"Do you want war?"

This guy is obviously a big fool, this kind of mercenary who goes south and north has seen a lot of big scenes, and instantly grasped the hesitation and nervousness in the eyes of the guards, and made things a little out of control.

Xu Nan knew that only by doing this could Gray ensure the safety of himself and him as much as possible!

Wildfire City is chaotic, but nominally, it's still the territory of the Eastern Kingdoms!

The young man's behavior just now did constitute a provocation and threat, and as the city lord's bodyguard, he had the right to deal with it!

The people of the ice field near the city gate were very indignant.

This people, known for their blue eyes and brown beard, was already very xenophobic, and the death of young people instantly aroused the anger of the people!

Many people surrounded and tried to attack Xu Nan and the others, but they were stopped by the guards.

The guards are also very difficult.

They're also Iceborne, but they have a lot more to think about than ordinary civilians.

News about the Lord of Wildfire City has been circulating on the ice field for months.

This time, it is different from the castle lord forcibly appointed by the Eastern Kingdom, and it is said that this new city lord has a token!

The major families, gangs, and forces of Wildfire City have all sworn allegiance to the token.

The Icefield people are jerks, but they take oaths very seriously.

I heard that the largest family in the city, the Sebaron family, has been wandering scouts coming and going recently, which is enough to make the contradictions in the guards' hearts even more tangled.

They couldn't and didn't dare to make a move on Xu Nan and the others.

They are really nobles in the quicksand, and it will be a big trouble to kill them, and there may not be a war, but a few of them will definitely become scapegoats.

The guards looked at each other, at a loss, and just surrounded Xu Nan and Gray.

Gray cursed arrogantly, while Xu Nan pretended to disdain and talk nonsense with civilians, and his acting skills could only be supported by his fluttering eyes.

"The countrymen don't know much about it."

Seeing the guards at a loss, Xu Nan was a little distressed.

The situation at the city gate became more and more tense, and just when many civilians could not hold back and threatened to punish the murderer, someone suddenly shouted:

"Master Barnes has arrived."

Suddenly, everyone moved out of the way.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the young master's carriage!"

"Master Barnes must have taught these two strangers a hard lesson."

"Not necessarily, if this person really has a token......

There was a lot of talking.

Xu Nan's heart moved slightly.

A carriage came galloping and stopped at the inside of the gate, and a tall young man stepped down from the carriage.

Unlike the other Iceborns, he doesn't have beards, so he looks young.

His appearance is very square, his expression is gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and it can be seen that this Barnes has a high prestige in Wildfire City!

"This is Barnes. Cebaron......"

"The eldest son of the largest family in Wildfire City! The Cebaron family holds the recipe for Theron and is the Earth Emperor of Wildfire City. ”

"This man is said to be very popular in Wildfire City because he often helps the poor and is approachable. When you come into contact with him for a while, you'd better be careful not to show your feet. ”

Gray whispered a warning.

Barnes strode over with a gentle smile:

"I'm late."

"I have long heard that the second lady in the quicksand land has already set off for the ice field, but I didn't expect to arrive so early."

"You're as beautiful as you are in the picture."

He waved his hand and let the guards disperse, with a respectful attitude.

"On behalf of the Sebaron family and all the residents of Wildfire City, I would like to welcome Miss Su."

He bent over, all in the ceremonial posture of the Eastern Kingdom, without the slightest bit of the savagery of the Ice Plains.

Xu Nan was silent for a moment, pretending to be tsundere for a moment, before jumping rudely off the horse.

He didn't look at Barnes at all, but walked to the city gate on his own.

"It's Mr. Su!"

He corrected.

The whole action is done in one go, which perfectly matches the characteristics of the gender cognitive impairment of Miss Quicksand in the data.

Barnes was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and suddenly smiled all over his face, and accompanied Xu Nan inside.

"I've prepared a feast, please enjoy it."

"By the way, your servants?"

Xu Nan showed an angry expression: "It's all dead, a bunch of waste." ”

"We were attacked five times in the southern part of the Sumanda Wilderness and the Ghost Mother Forest."

Gray said with a gloomy expression, "I suspect that the attack has something to do with the people in Wildfire City, and I hope Mr. Barnes can help find out." ”

"Check!"

Barnes said righteously: "You must find out!" In the territory of Wildfire City, it is simply incomprehensible that someone dares to attack the distinguished guests of my Sebaron family! This sentence has some overtones, which means that Wildfire City is the territory of Sebaron, not the lord of the city.

"Mr. Su, don't worry, I will definitely find someone who tried to assassinate you!"

Barnes only called Mr. Su, did not mention the matter of the city lord, and looked like he was swearing.

It's too pompous.

Xu Nan sighed in his heart. This Barnes is estimated to be the top talent in Wildfire City.

The acting skills are okay, but the force is too much, and it is not as good as Gray, a high-level mercenary.

"Then please."

Xu Nan said coldly: "I'm hungry." ”

"Please come with me!"

Barnes led the way quite gentlemanly, and next to him, of course, there were servants of the Sebaron family who were responsible for pacifying the commoners.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the way.

When he arrived at the banquet venue, Gray made an excuse to slip away, saying that he was going to take care of the horses, but in fact he was looking for clues to the token.

Xu Nan wasn't worried that he would really escape, after all, he had just arrived in Wildfire City, and if something happened immediately, there would be a ghost if he could get his honorarium.

……

The food at the banquet was sumptuous.

It's just that the atmosphere is a little awkward.

Hearing that the "New City Lord" had arrived, in addition to the Sebaron family, the rest of the influential family representatives and gang leaders in Wildfire City arrived.

They had heard a little about the deeds of "Mr. Su" and felt that it was a little tricky.

First of all, this time is different.

In the past, the city lords appointed by the kingdom were basically unlucky people with no background, and when they died, they died, and there was no one to avenge them.

Su, as the pearl of the lord of the quicksand land, if it weren't for his maverick, he would be pampered; Even so, the Lord of the Quicksand Land would not completely ignore Sue's life or death.

The quicksand land is a fiefdom with real power, with its own army, and it is the place where the eastern kingdom and the Great Ice Fields are connected, once the lord of the quicksand land is really angry, it is not impossible to send troops to attack Wildfire City.

Secondly, there is the issue of tokens.

Even the guards and civilians knew the news, how could these people not know?

In recent months, there have been rumors in Wildfire City that someone has obtained a token and is about to rightfully ascend to the city lord of Wildfire City. They have been secretly investigating, including the Sebaron family.

When they found out that the token had fallen into the hands of the people in the quicksands, they were as uncomfortable as flies; And when the news of Sue's departure came, the high-ups of Wildfire City were even more fried.

The Ice Plains people made the most important promises and oaths, so they discussed for a long time, and finally agreed with each other: if the other party really has a token, why not let her be the lord of Wildfire City?

However, this is only a superficial statement. Who knows if there are a few people in the Ice Plains who go against their national instincts and act in secret?

Sue's assassination says it all, not to mention that Gray suspects that the enemy is from inside Wildfire City, and even the forces inside Wildfire City are suspicious of each other!

So the banquet presented two extremes.

On the one hand, it was Barnes who accompanied Xu Nan to eat, drink and chat, and more of it was Barnes who introduced the customs of the ice field.

On the other hand, it is the temptation of other bigwigs.

Xu Nan was cold on the surface, but in fact, he had a full view of everything.

"It seems that everyone could be an assassin, and the Sebaron family is the most suspected."

"This is a Hongmen feast, but fortunately, the teacher gave him a scroll, and he can summon his projection protection at any time."

Xu Nan thought so, and suddenly, a servant brought a pot of mellow wine.

Barnes smiled and said:

"This is Wildfire City's most famous Theron wine! In the south, it is hard to find a thousand dollars, but here we can drink as much as you want! ”

"Come on, come on, Mr. Su, please try it."

Xu Nan nodded.

Theron is one of the few popular alcoholic beverages among spellcasters, as it allows for concentration, greatly increases concentration levels during research, and also helps with intelligence improvement.

In the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom, there is indeed a market and no price.

He took the glass and sipped it rather rudely, just about to evaluate—

[You take Theron and your concentration improves]

[You have taken the emerald spirit, the gluttonous nature is automatically activated, and the emerald spirit has been decomposed and absorbed]

Xu Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The emerald spirit, but the wanderer's favorite poison!

It's a pity that Xu Nan has a gluttonous nature, except for the poison with the nature of magic or the nature of curse, he is basically invulnerable!

These people actually want to poison themselves at a banquet? It's hilarious, right?

Damn, it's too bullying, Xu Nan is ready to flip the table at any time - that is, the projection that summons Romang!

"Good wine!"

He suddenly said loudly.

"Drink together! Everybody has to do it with me! ”

"After drinking this cup, there are three more cups!"

He raised his glass and said to Barnes and the others.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
