Volume Three: The Frozen Throne Chapter Three: Captain of the Guard

Lin Tian walked to the window and looked down, the dense crowd held up banners, shouting unified slogans, which can be described as huge, he shook his head, thinking that this move would not solve any problems at all, just now he checked the local network, and found that recently, there have been no reports in this regard, and the official is still advocating a harmony, which can be imagined.

It's only a matter of time before something happens to these marchers.

After eating the big meal, Lin Tian discussed with the three of them, and decided to let Bai Zhe and Yang Guangyu escort the supplies back first, while Lin Tian and Ah Lian followed the crowd of parades to take a look.

After separating from Bai Zhe and Yang Guangyu, Lin Tian and Ah Lian mixed into the procession and marched towards the City Lord's Mansion with the procession.

Lin Tian looked at the person beside him, slightly surprised.

I originally thought it was just the same enemy in the front row, but I didn't expect that the people in the back were also angry, obviously, the city lord had already driven everyone to a dead end, so it would be like this.

What's even more strange is that the road is unimpeded, and no one stops, Lin Tian grabbed a middle-aged man in the workplace and asked, "Uncle, everyone is making such a fuss, does the city lord care?"

The middle-aged man scratched the few hairs on the top of his head, and angrily aimed at Lin Tian and scolded, "Who do you call uncle, I'm only twenty-one years old this year!"

「……」

Ah Lian covered her mouth and snickered, the corners of Lin Tian's mouth twitched, and he looked like a middle-aged man at twenty-one, which was really unbelievable.

At this time, a real middle-aged uncle in the crowd came over and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't mind, I know him, he works in a large company, he used to be a handsome guy, but since the city lord increased taxes, he has been so anxious that he has lost his hair like this, haha!"

"Oh, that's right." Lin Tian nodded sympathetically.

The middle-aged uncle said, "Little brother, you don't look like locals, why do you join the parade?"

Lin Tian smiled, "We are from...... Well, I came from far away, and when I saw so many people gathered here, I was curious, so I followed."

"Oh, that's right." The middle-aged uncle kindly reminded: "Since you are not a local, I advise you to leave, it is estimated that after a while, there will be another death." After saying that, he sighed.

Lin Tian was stunned, "Is it so serious?"

"This is a definite result, to this point, it is already the arrangement of fate, the forces of evil are bound to collide with justice, but these children are pitied, and some of them will fall victim to the outbreak of war." The middle-aged uncle shook his head helplessly as he looked at the people who were in high spirits: "In the past, when the old city lord was still there, the evil power was still somewhat restrained, and after the old city lord died, his son became the leader of the demons, forcing people into the abyss step by step, and had to raise their weapons to the point of rebellion."

The words of the middle-aged uncle echoed in Lin Tian's mind, and he suddenly felt that these people chose to resist, it was a helpless thing, and each of them was full of resentment written on their faces, but out of helplessness, if the people in power had considered them a little, they would not have gone to the point of demonstrations, once the demonstrations had bloodshed, they would inevitably be used by some extreme people or forces, causing armed conflicts, and reaching a situation of endless death.

Lin Tian looked at the crowd and shouted, "Ah Lian."

Ah Lian, who had been following him, replied, "Hmm."

Lin Tiandao: "We can't just walk away, can we?"

Ah Lian shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever you say, I'll do it."

Lin Tian continued: "There are too many unreasonable things in this world, I can't treat it as not seeing, or not caring about it, only caring about my own gains and losses, grandpa once asked me, when you have the power to change the world, what will I do, at that time, I was still young, I don't know how to answer, now I want to say that I am willing to contribute my own strength, because, I am also a royal family, I have been taught since I was a child to love my own people, although they abandoned us and resented me, but I know, It wasn't out of their intention, they were innocent, they didn't know the truth, and I don't blame them."

A smile welled up at the corner of Ah Lian's mouth, clenched her fists, and said, "What do you want to do, I'll accompany you."

Lin Tian turned his head and smiled, "Thank you, Ah Lian, but it's not that far, let's observe it again, we always feel that there is something strange here, wait."

Ah Lian nodded, and the two followed the crowd of marchers to the city lord's mansion.

A fortress-like mansion with heavy guards.

The crowd of demonstrators was stopped when they arrived, they waved banners in their hands, loudly vented their frustrations, a large number of heavily armed guards stopped the door, and ordered the demonstrators to retreat with loudspeakers, and the atmosphere on both sides was tense, as if it only took a fuse to turn into a war.

Lin Tian frowned slightly, the actions of some people around him were very strange, as if they were waiting for something.

The gates of the castle lord's fortress were closed, and there was no room for negotiation.

Gradually, the demonstrator lost patience, some people scolded and threw stones at the guards, the attacked guards used tear gas, and batons, the attacked crowd fled in all directions, just like that, the arms fight between the guards and civilians happened, as if it was a script that had been arranged, in the smoke, Lin Tian was startled, it was too late to stop it, someone took out the guns that had been prepared, chanted the slogan for freedom and equality, aimed at the guards is crazy shooting, for a while, blood splashed, the demonstrator crowd was completely panicked, This scene was not expected at all.

The guards were attacked, put down their batons, took out their weapons and shot at the crowd in panic, and for a while, screams were heard again and again.

Lin Tian shouted, "Ah Lian!"

"Howler!" Ah Lian responded, and as Lin Tian jumped out from behind the crowd and blocked in front of the civilians, the barrier formed by the thunder flower blooming separated the bullets that came from each other on both sides.

Lin Tian snatched the guard's megaphone with a single arrow step, and said loudly, "Everyone, stop, listen to me!"

The sound coming from the loudspeaker was very loud, and everyone was stunned, put down the mutual attack, and looked at the two people in the middle of the two groups in a daze, and the most surprised was the middle-aged uncle who talked to Lin Tian before.

Lin Tian glanced at both sides and said, "No matter what, I hope everyone can sit down and talk calmly."

Among the guards, a middle-aged man who was heavily armed but did not carry any guns and wore only a tomahawk walked out. Hedi, when the demonstrators saw the comers, they all looked frightened and took several steps back.

Chabus. Herdy glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency!?"

Lin Tian smiled, "Passers-by."

Chabus. Hedi was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Since you are a passerby, you still dare to meddle in things, is it because you have been idle for a long time?"

Lin Tian walked up to Chabus, looked up at this tall and mighty figure, smiled faintly, and said, "You should be the captain of the guard here, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to meet the city lord and see if we can talk peacefully to avoid bloodshed."

Chabus. Hedy clasped his hands and said condescendingly and contemptuously, "Lord of the City is very busy, and I don't have time to play a game of justice with you."

Chabus. Hedi leaned down and whispered in Lin Tian's ear, "Boy, I don't care where you come from, anyway, don't meddle in your business, otherwise, you will lose your life here, go home and drink milk."

His words were heard by the guards around him, and immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Lin Tian's eyes flashed with a faint glint of understanding, and he guessed in his heart that this scene should be just a play directed and acted by the city lord's side, the purpose was to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and let everyone know that the end of the resistance, if he and Ah Lian didn't stop it, those innocent people would fall in pieces.

Lin Tian glanced at the guards who were laughing, and said without mind, "I seem to remember that there is a law in the lighthouse world that when the people are dissatisfied with the city lord and the procession reaches more than a hundred people, then as the city lord, it is necessary to listen to the wishes of the people." Looking around, Lin Tian added, "Isn't what I said wrong?"

As soon as Lin Tian said this, the guard's laughter became louder, as if he had heard some great joke.

Most of the demonstrators looked at each other, and as soon as they were hovering on the subsistence line, how could they have time to understand these laws, and only those who had been educated would know about these legal provisions, and even if they did, what could they do?

For ordinary people, the city lord is a mountain that can never be crossed, let alone the Holy House behind the mountain.

The quality of the city lord, sometimes, directly determines the quality of the city, and what is even more odious is that the city lord is still hereditary, and a city lord like the Shining City is already very good.

Lin Tian sighed in his heart, sure enough, the culprit of all this is still the rules customized by the Holy Council, the most unforgivable thing is that the inaction of the royal family, the three royal families will only care about their own interests, they have never done anything for the people, they have always been high and detached.

The royal family has not been out and around for many years, and has been hiding in the luxurious palace, living a luxurious life, and their tool for collecting money is the Holy House, these are all things that Ah Lian told Lin Tian, she is helpless to ignore the royal family.

If it weren't for Mu Xue. Duster came out to brush a wave of existence, people almost forgot that there was still a royal family, although the three royal families were supreme, and no one dared to challenge their authority, but what was even more terrifying was that the Holy Council was in a state of covering the sky with one hand, and the people living in dire straits dared not speak out.

The Holy House under the royal family has been decayed, and the Inspectorate set up in every lighthouse city has become an ornament, and this demonstration has been going on for so long that even the representatives of the Inspectorate of the Holy House have not come to stop it, it is conceivable how rotten the Inspectorate of the Holy House has become.
