Chapter 14: The Young City Lord
After Barrett escaped from the window with Tachibana Sakyo and Piggyo Porro,
Taking advantage of the night, I quickly shuttled between the alleys of the house.
After escaping his pursuers, Barrett led the two to the backyard of a spacious palace.
Barrett dialed the intercom on the wall, and after confirming his identity, the other party opened the door to the backyard.
At Barrett's signal, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Poro followed him and continued inside.
When he entered the room, he was greeted by a tall, thin middle-aged man.
After seeing this person, Barrett took the initiative to come forward to say hello:
"Second uncle, these two are the life-savers I mentioned just now.
Just now, when we were eating at a restaurant in the city,
The guys from the Antlers Guild have their eyes on Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig,
The two of them probably had a holiday with the Antlers Guild, so I brought them back directly. ”
The middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be Barrett's second uncle,
After listening to Barrett's story, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig:
"Thank you so much, thank you for saving Barrett. ”
Tachibana Sakyo: "You're too polite, it's just a gesture~"
Second uncle: "The two of you, please." ”
Piggy: "Sorry to bother you so late." ”
At this time, Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig were very surprised!
Because they didn't expect that Barrett, this kid is a broad young master~
After the four introduced themselves to each other, Barrett's second uncle broke the guards in the palace,
Then he led the three of them to the door of Barrett's room, and after telling Barrett a word, he left.
Barrett led Tachibana Sakyo and Piggyo into the room.
The whole room is very luxuriously furnished,
Palatial decoration,
Exquisite seats,
Every place reveals the atmosphere of wealth!
Barrett invites Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Hello to take a seat,
Then while making tea for them, I asked about the hotel just now:
"How did you have a holiday with the Antlers Guild?
And from their position, it's not a trivial matter for you to provoke, right?"
Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Poro looked at each other for a moment, and began to tell Barrett about what had happened in the town earlier:
"The man we met at the hotel was the little leader of the bandit group we had met in the town before.
It's only because I was soft-hearted at the time and let him go, so that he now has the opportunity to come back and report the news. ”
Barrett pondered for a moment after listening to Tachibana Sakyo's story......
Then he began to tell the origin of this group of people, and the dilemma they are facing now:
"The people we met at the hotel today were tour groups that visited our city a few years ago.
They came with a lot of treasures, so that they could do business with our merchants here.
They also paid a large amount of treasures to the lord of this city, which is my father!"
......
Barrett: "My father immediately granted them the right to do business freely in this city.
The treasures they brought were greatly loved by the nobles and nobles in the city.
In order to get more treasures, my father specially arranged land for them.
In the end, these people simply settled in, and also established the current Antler Guild. ”
Barrett took a sip of tea:
"After the establishment of this antler guild, there were often some very rare treasures, so it soon became the darling of the dignitaries and nobles.
In order to get the treasures they cherished, the nobles went to woo the Antler Guild. ”
Piggy: "What a bunch of greedy guys!"
Barrett: "It didn't take long for the Antlers Guild's network to spread throughout the city.
After that, they began to recruit members everywhere, and the scale also grew.
With the passage of time, this so-called antler guild has also revealed its true face. ”
Tachibana Sakyo: "The real face?"
Barrett: "This so-called guild is actually a gang of thieves.
They are openly buying and selling treasures, but secretly they send people to do theft and robbery.
In particular, the villages and towns around the city are often robbed by bandits, and life is miserable. ”
Hearing this, Tachibana Zuojing suddenly realized,
also understood the mysterious high-level that the little bandit who was beaten away at that time,
It turned out to be the Antlers Guild!
Immediately afterwards, Tachibana Zuojing asked with a little doubt:
"Since they are so blatant, why didn't your father sanction them?"
Barrett sighed helplessly in the face of Tachibana Sakyo's question:
"My father and those dignitaries and nobles have long known what the Antler Guild is secretly doing.
But they are all blinded by immediate interests and collude with each other.
As a result, the Antlers Guild has become more and more lawless, violently intimidating and threatening, and doing everything they can!"
Tachibana Sakyo: "If it's so corrupt, doesn't anyone dare to resist!"
Barrett: "The sovereignty of the city is in the hands of my father and the nobles,
For their own interests, they all choose to turn a blind eye and completely let the Antlers Guild do evil.
As a result, the people are now miserable!"
After speaking, Barrett slammed the ground with his fist and said angrily:
"I want to change this situation, drive out the Antler Guild, and restore peace to the people in the city.
The person just now is my second uncle, who is the current minister of the board of directors and assists my father.
However, he also hated the collusion between the city's high-ranking officials and the Antler Guild!
So determined to help me expel the Antlers Guild together!"
Piggy: "If that's the case, then you still have hope!"
Barrett: "Well, with the help of my second uncle, I really saw the dawn of hope!"
Through his prestige, he condensed the power of the people at the bottom little by little.
And I'm raising money from the outside.
Help us by offering bounties to find people with lofty ideals!"
After Barrett finished speaking impassionedly, he looked at Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig:
"Since you are also targeted by the Antler Guild, it is definitely impossible to slip through the city without knowing it now!
I hope you can help me defeat our enemies together!"
After listening to Barrett's words, Tachibana Zuojing was angry to death~ scolded:
"You didn't bring us back yet!
I rubbed you a meal, and now I want us to help you fight the world!"
Barrett looked at the angry Tachibana Zuojing and immediately patted his ass:
"This is really unintentional, I really want to thank you for inviting you to dinner.
But it's come to this~ Why don't we work together to destroy the enemy!
And I'm still the future city lord, help me now, and you will definitely benefit from you in the future!"
Tachibana Sakyo thought about it, but this is indeed the case~
If you don't destroy the Antlers Guild, you'll always be a potential threat to him and Piggy.
And Barrett doesn't make sense,
Help him drive out the Antlers Guild, and the people at the bottom will definitely support him unconditionally,
Then he is definitely the best choice for the future city lord!
If that's the case, of course you won't suffer if you recognize such a good brother!.
If you want to say that this orange Zuojing is really a dog's face, it will change when you say it,
One second he was still angry, and the next second he went up to shake hands with a smile.
After a solemn handshake, the three teenagers officially reached an agreement!
The rebels were born!
