Chapter 108: Harden your heart
"Of course, my lord, it is a capital offense to attack a nobleman for no reason. Butler Donald answered Meng Han's question very calmly as if nothing had happened. However, between the lines, all of them were in support of Meng Han.
In fact, Donald had already been shocked by the power that Meng Han had just shown. The so-called guards of the city lord are actually some relatively ordinary-looking guys, real masters, all by the city lord's side, how can they be brought by the tax officer. However, despite this, Meng Han's performance was enough to impress Donald Steward.
Originally, I thought that this little nobleman who had lost his power just relied on a little luck to find a rare stone, and then he took a relationship with the viscount and let his own young master take care of it. Later, I found out that this Lord Antonio seemed to be not only a little lucky, but also had a good brain, and even the Marquis attached great importance to it. But now the Donald steward has discovered something, this lord, is a terrible magician.
Although he didn't understand what Meng Han's mouth meant, Butler Donald was not a person who didn't know anything about magic, on the contrary, because Lord Marquis had attracted a lot of magicians, and Mr. Donald had a lot of contact with them, and his understanding of magic could even be said to exceed that of ordinary ordinary people.
It was already a miracle to send out magic so quickly, and coupled with the fact that Meng Han's magic almost never failed, Donald instantly discovered Meng Han's terrifyingness.
Even if it was a real magician, at Meng Han's age, it was impossible for him to have such terrifying attack power. Is this lord, really the magic waste wood he investigated before he left, and he didn't even pass the magic trial?
The surprise in his heart could not be concealed, but on the surface, Donald Butler still looked calm. Answering Meng Han's question, he stood in place, behaving in a proper manner, just like Meng Han's own butler, neither overstepping nor being presumptuous, waiting for Meng Han's orders.
"Since they are all capital crimes, then now that they are dead, they also deserve it, right? But if anyone asks?" Meng Han was very satisfied with Donald's attitude, and he really deserved to be a person from a big family, after experiencing the scene just now, his face did not change, and he was definitely a master. Thinking so in my heart, I still asked.
"Of course, sir. Even if someone investigates, I can testify for adults. Donald's butler seemed to have guessed the intention of Meng Han's question, and immediately answered the answer that Meng Han wanted.
"You are such a man of integrity. Meng Han praised with a smile, but it was a hypocritical face like an aristocracy, and even he felt uncomfortable.
"If nothing else, I'd like to take care of the business here. Donald bowed slightly, did his courtesy, and immediately found an excuse to leave. However, when he left, he still said a message as if talking to himself: "The city lord of Stormwind City is said to have taken in a master, and I heard that he is already a peak great sword master, and he will soon approach the point of a sword master, my lord, you have to be careful." ”
Meng Han naturally won't stop him, he still has a lot of things to do now, and some of them can't be seen by Donald yet. Donald left, right in the middle. Looking at the back of Donald leaving, Meng Han's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency. Grace couldn't help but scream as she watched Meng Han keep staring in that direction without speaking. There was a quick killing just now, Grace was not mentally prepared at all, she didn't know at all that before Meng Han came, he had already instructed Qiao and Zhu to kill directly if they wanted to do it.
"Grace, don't be afraid. Meng Han turned his head and saw Grace's slightly panicked expression, giving her a reassuring smile before turning to the corpse and the tax collector who was still alive but only breathing.
He had long known that one day, his wealth would be targeted, but Meng Han did not expect that this day would come so quickly. Fortunately, as early as the beginning, Meng Han was ready for this day. The tax collector ran headlong into himself and looked for his own death, but no one else was to blame. However, the peak great swordsman that Donald said when he left at the end sounded a little troublesome.
"Qiao, Zhu, do you estimate that your current level, what level should you be considered a great sword master?" Meng Han walked in front of the blackened tax officer, stretched out his foot and gently kicked the human body on the ground, and seemed to ask casually.
"My lord, I estimate that we already have the level of a junior great sword master now. Qiao is not very big, and seems to have a relatively clear understanding of his current strength.
Meng Han nodded, his expression not changing because he heard this judgment. Qiao was originally worried that he would be dissatisfied with the strength of the other party because they were peak great sword masters, but now he finally put his mind at ease. It's just that I have this storm city lord firmly in my mind, and he has a peak great sword master's subordinates.
Grace didn't have such a mind as Meng Han, and when she heard Qiao and Zhu only admit that they were junior great swordsmen, they immediately panicked, and shouted at Meng Han anxiously: "My lord!"
"Don't worry, Grace. Meng Han knew what Grace was thinking, and gently comforted: "You have to learn from Mr. Donald, he is not as calm as you." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Grace has already been a little blind to her lord, Meng Han wants her to rest assured, she will not show her unease in front of Meng Han. She didn't want to make the already hard-working lord even more tired because of herself.
"Oh!" the tax collector, who was pitch black on the ground, let out a faint groan, indicating that he was not completely dead.
Meng Han looked at the guy under his feet, suddenly thought about it, and ordered Qiao: "Qiao, ask someone to get him to the room over there, I have something to ask him." As he spoke, he stabbed his magic wand directly into the tax collector's body, causing him to snort in pain. However, because of the branches of the tree of life, the dying tax collector was a little more angry.
A cool sensation came from a painful spot on his body, and the tax collector finally regained his senses. When I woke up, I found that there was no place in my body that didn't hurt, and it was from the inside out, and there was that hot taste everywhere, and if it wasn't for the cool feeling coming from somewhere, the tax officer even doubted whether he could maintain a sober will. The tax collector didn't dare to move, and he couldn't even remember what was going on.
"If you wake up, Lord Tax Collector, I suggest you keep your eyes open, otherwise I don't know what will happen. With a familiar voice, something on his body immediately left his body, but the coolness also left, and his whole body immediately fell into the pain of burning fire.
"Ahh The whole body seemed to be convulsing because of pain, like a prawn that had just been fished out of the boiling water and was not yet dead.
"My throat hurts, I can't speak, is it?Lord Tax Officer?" Meng Han's voice came from above his head, although it was still so peaceful, but in the ears of Lord Tax Officer, it was like the voice of a demon.
Oh hehe, after a few consecutive moans that didn't look like moans, and after talking like a voice, the tax collector seemed to endure severe pain, and his body moved slightly, which brought about a painful convulsion.
It hurts to be slammed against something on the throat, but it brings a burst of coolness, and the throat that has just been burned seems to be irrigated by a clear spring, and it is recovering at a speed that is completely imaginable. After a while, the tax collector felt as if he could already speak.
"Can you speak, Mr. Tax Officer!" Meng Han's voice came again, making the tax officer on the ground excited, and hurriedly replied in his still hoarse voice, "Yes, my lord." ”
"I want to know everything that happened before the lord sent you over. Meng Han looked at the tax officer, paused slightly, and showed a gentle smile: "I think, Lord Tax Officer, you will definitely not refuse my little request, right?"
Meng Han said it easily, but the tax officer dared to hide anything. He had already seen clearly that it was the magic wand in Meng Han's hand that was against his neck, and once he left his body, he knew that he would fall into the same pain as he had just now. He didn't care much at the moment, and hurriedly poured out all the things that the city lord had ordered him.
Actually, there's nothing surprising about it, it's corny. The city lord found that Huangsha Town had now become a big source of wealth, so he immediately coveted it. On the one hand, he had already begun to experiment with taxes, and on the other hand, he had already begun to prepare to reclaim the ownership of the Dwarven Mountains. Of course, he didn't forget the last step, if these couldn't succeed, he planned to directly send someone to kill the twins in Huangsha Town, and then completely swallow Huangsha Town.
"Isn't the city lord afraid of the curse of the twins here?" Grace was also listening, and was taken aback by the city lord's vicious thoughts, and asked subconsciously.
"It's just those ordinary soldiers who did it, what's the matter with the city lord?" Meng Han explained to Grace with a smile, but he was planning in his heart, the other party is so vicious, should he strike first? It's just that the other party has a peak great sword master, but it is a troublesome thing.
