Lord Chronicle

Chapter 22 Whispering
"I'm Lord Ramo's captain Nori, why did you hurt my men?" A tall swordsman in his 40s said first.

"It was he who molested our female relatives first, so we had no choice but to defend ourselves," Sol said.

Nori frowned, turned to the team leader and said, "Shiga, is that so?"

The team leader named Shiga hurriedly said: "Captain Nori, don't listen to their nonsense. I admit that I was drunk, but it was just a slight offense in words, and they beat people without explaining it."

His words immediately caused a burst of booing from all the drinkers in the tavern, but this guy was quite sensible, and he didn't deny it completely, but just blurred the matter to give himself a chance to quibble.

Jessica was furious: "Nonsense, you shameless guy!"

Shiga is very good at acting, so he bowed his body at this time: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I admit that I was rude, but it was just an unintentional act. But your companion beat me and my subordinates like this because of the large number of people." , There are still a few people lying in bed and unable to get up, it is too much."

Looking at his "sorrowful and indignant" expression, he really seemed to have been wronged.Although Jessica was smart, she had never met such a cunning and shameless guy, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

Kress was furious: "Asshole, it seems that I haven't beaten you enough." He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.

Saul quickly stopped him, Kress is good at everything, but his brain is too single-minded.If he makes such a fuss, even if he is justified, he will lose three points.

"What happened, there were many guests around at the time, you can just ask them." Sol said to Nori calmly.

Shiga was in a hurry: "Captain, don't listen to them, these dirty drunks are all the same thing."

Nuoli said expressionlessly: "I will naturally ask you what the facts are. But I can't ignore the fact that you hurt my subordinates. I hope you will go back and explain clearly to me."

Sol didn't know what he wanted to do, he shook his head without thinking, "I'm not interested."

Nori's face sank instantly: "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

"Huh, when did the guards of Lamoling become Wright's security team, and they can arrest people here at will." Jessica suddenly sarcastically said.

Fights and fights are security incidents, and even if someone is to be arrested, Wright's security team should come forward. The actions of Nori, the soldiers of Lamo, have committed a big taboo.

Unexpectedly, Nori smiled slightly: "This lady is right, Mr. Congers, they will leave it to you."

Speaking of Nori, a man has turned out behind him.Wearing the clothes of the Wright City Guards, he said to Sol with a businesslike face: "I am Congers, the sheriff of Wright City, and I am arresting you on suspicion of violating public security regulations. Please follow me back to the security station." .”

Saul and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect that Nori came prepared. The sheriff of Wright City hooked up with them after only half a day. No wonder these guys are so confident.

Nori looked at the crowd proudly. It was obvious that if Saul and the others went back with Congers, they would become dough in his hands, and he could deal with them however he wanted.If they refused, they would be arrested, and I also had reasons to kill them on the spot.

"I'll say it again, you have violated the security regulations, so follow me immediately." Seeing that Saul didn't answer, Congus raised his voice and said again.

Glancing at Jessica, who was drawing her sword, and Marlene, whose face turned pale with fright, Sol secretly thought that they should not be allowed to go to prison no matter what.Gritting his teeth, he whispered to Kress and Chip: "Get ready to fight!"

The two nodded without saying a word, followed by a clanging sound of swords being drawn. All the guards held their swords in their hands, and a few even pointed their bows and arrows at Nori and the others.

Congers sneered, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of Wright soldiers rushed in from outside the tavern. For a moment, the two sides were at war with each other, and the tavern was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

At this moment, Congus noticed the unified Lowell family crest on the leather armor of Kress and the others. He was slightly startled, and quickly whispered a few words in Nori's ear, and Nori's face also changed slightly.

"Excuse me, are you the lord of Lovell?" Congers said in a deep voice.

Even under such circumstances, Saul was a little moved. It turns out that there are still people who recognize this family crest.

"That's right, I am Saul Lovell, the current Lord of Lovell." Sol nodded.

Congers' attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. He bowed his head deeply: "Please forgive my rudeness just now, the light here is dim, and I didn't notice your family emblem for a while."

Sol and Jessica looked at each other, both deeply surprised.Sol is well aware of the popularity and status of the Lovell Territory, and he doesn't seem to have such a big influence, so let the other party be condescending.

At this time, Congus said again: "When did the lord enter the city? Why didn't you inform me next time? When our lord set off for the capital a few days ago, he told us to treat all the lords who passed by Masdi well." .”

Sol was stunned and speechless, and thought to himself that you really know how to speak, if the town lords along the way didn't take me, the Lord of Lovell, seriously, how could I be so low-key.Is it still my fault now?
Jessica said coldly, "Say it straight, what exactly do you want to do?"

Congers laughed and said: "Please don't be angry, all this is a misunderstanding. I have already asked someone to notify the city owner."

What Sol and the others didn't know was that during the extraordinary period of the Royal Capital Celebration, he would not dare to do anything to Sol even if he borrowed ten guts from Congus.Otherwise, if the lord Sol was imprisoned in Masdi Land for such a trivial matter as violating the public security regulations and was unable to go to the capital, the consequences would definitely not be something he, a little sheriff, could bear.

Seeing that Congers didn't dare to do anything, Sol felt relieved, leaned back in his chair carelessly, pointed at the soldiers and said, "Masty's customs are really strange, are you using them to 'treat' me well?"

Embarrassed, Congers immediately yelled at the bewildered soldiers, "Go down quickly."

"By the way, there's you too. You must be tired from standing, right? Come on, sit down and have a rest. I'll buy you a drink." Sol said to Nori again.

Nori's face flushed red, but he didn't dare to do anything to Saul, so he said bluntly: "Thank you for your generosity, I'm not tired."

"Really?" Saul shrugged: "Looking at your pretense just now, I feel tired for you."

Nori was furious. Normally, he would never look down on a poor lord like Saul, but now that the situation is special, he dare not take the risk of committing the following offense.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, a haughty voice came from outside the door: "Nori, what did I teach you before going out? La Moling's face was completely humiliated by you."

While talking, two people walked into the tavern. The first one was a middle-aged fat man with a shiny face. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and a ring with the lark emblem on his hand. There is always a sense of condescension.

Seeing him, Nori and others bowed and saluted: "My lord."

There was also a man in official clothes who came in with Lord Lamo, who should be the Lord of Wright City.

Frowning and looking at the tavern, Lord Lamo took out a silk scarf and covered his nose: "It stinks, don't the Lovells have any sense of being nobles, and they actually stay in such an inferior place."

Sol really wants to say that I don't want to, boss, why don't you lend me some money to live in a high-end hotel.But of course he couldn't give in at this time, he said indifferently: "Really, I think this place is very good."

"Hehehehe..." Lord Lamo kept laughing like a frog with his neck puffed up. "I heard that Lowell is poor, but now I see that it is even poorer than I imagined."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Lovell had angry expressions on their faces, and Sol's teeth were itchy with hatred. I have to say that this guy is extremely inferior in both behavior and appearance.

Lord Ramo can laugh at Sol at will, but the city lord of Wright naturally cannot do so.He coughed dryly: "I heard that my sheriff had some misunderstandings with you. I'm really sorry. Recently, a very daring bandit group 'Go to Death' appeared in Masdi, robbing passers-by everywhere. Congers has been busy arresting them, so Nervous, he didn't mean to offend you."

"Go to the death group?" Sol was stunned, secretly thinking that the name of this bandit group is really post-modern.

Lord Lamo laughed unscrupulously again: "What are you going to kill the group? If I run into them, I will definitely make this group of untouchables die. Hahahaha..."

These words were undoubtedly referring to the incompetence of Wright City's security team, and both the city lord and Congers were embarrassing.Coughing twice to cover up the past, the city lord said to Sol: "It's my duty to let you stay in this kind of place. If you don't dislike it, please come to the city lord's mansion. I will treat you wholeheartedly during your stay in Wright."

Secretly, this city lord knows how to speak, but Sol was about to agree, but he saw Lord Lamo shaking his head like a wave drum: "No, no, I will never live with this poor man, otherwise I will be infected. How about this, I asked my subordinates to vacate two vacant rooms in the hotel, you can live there, anyway, it’s much cleaner than here.”

Jessica snorted: "We appreciate your kindness, but I think this place is very good, at least it is much cleaner than the place where you are here."

Marlene poked her head out from behind Jessica: "That's right, I smelled a bad smell as soon as you came."

I have to say, this remark was really heart-warming, and the defenders and drinkers immediately applauded loudly.

Lord Lamo couldn't help trembling with anger: "You... how dare you insult me ​​like this, don't the people in Lowell have no education at all?"

Reed stood up with a smile: "You are wrong, we Lovell are the most polite to 'people'." He especially emphasized the word "herringbone" in his tone. As expected of a businessman who relies on his mouth for food, he is indeed vicious.

Kress asked back with surprise: "Are we being rude to Lord Ramo? No, we have always been polite to 'people'?"

Sol was greatly moved. He really didn't expect that all of his subordinates were talented in this field, even Kress, who was so stubborn, almost passed out seeing Lord Lamo's appearance.

He didn't expect that Jessica and the others would be so bold, not all because of him as the lord.Originally, in this world, the concept of hierarchy was quite strong, and commoners would never dare to insult the nobles. It was because the lord Sol was too talkative, and Lovell had that kind of easy-going atmosphere. As a result, such a bunch of rebellious guys were raised.

Lord Ramo's face was almost liver-colored, he pointed at Thor tremblingly, "I'm not killing all your rude subordinates..."

"But what they said is not wrong. As for why they are rude to you when they are always polite to 'people', you have to ask your parents." Sol finally issued a "decisive skill", a gorgeous KO other side.

"You, you..." Lord Lamo, who was so angry to the extreme, finally went crazy, he yelled in disregard of his aristocratic demeanor: "You despicable guy!"

"Fat pig."

"You poor, uneducated wretch!"

"Dead fat pig."

"You criminal worthy of the gallows!"

"Dead fat pigs with overnutrition."

……

It's a pity that compared to cursing, the self-proclaimed aristocratic Lord Lamo is no match for Sol, who is deeply influenced by the profound language of his motherland. His words that he considers to be "extremely vicious" are not even the lowest level of harassment in Sol's eyes. .

Thor just put out a long list of metaphorical rhetoric and a classic combination of adjectives with no expression on his face, and easily suppressed Lord Ramo completely.

The Lord of Wright watched the two majestic kingdom lords scolding each other dumbfoundedly, and for a moment suspected that he was in a dream.But the drinkers were afraid that the world would not be chaotic and shouted loudly, cheering for both parties, the atmosphere was really warm.

After several confrontations, Sol was unscathed, and Lord Ramo's HP had bottomed out.With bloodshot eyes, he pushed away the city lord who wanted to persuade, and said sharply: "Bastard, I want to fight you!"

As soon as these words came out, the noisy tavern fell silent immediately, and everyone looked at the blushing Lord Lamo, and then at Sol.

Sol also groaned in his heart, looking at the tonnage of Lord Ramo, and then at his poor little body, he was really not sure that he could be cured.But how can we back down now?
He nodded with a tragic face: "I accept." At the same time, he made up his mind that if something really bad happens later, he will surrender. In short, he must not be crushed to death by this guy.

Seeing that the two sides were really going to fight, the city lord Wright quickly persuaded: "Please calm down." No matter who was injured on his ground, the city lord would not be able to afford it.

Hearing Sol's promise, Lord Ramo laughed wildly: "Hahaha, he asked for it."

Just when Thor rolled up his sleeves and was about to start the fight, Lord Ramo turned his head and said, "Nori, don't lose my face."

"What!?" Sol was shocked: "It's too stupid, tell me to fight this guy!?"

Everyone looked at him like a fool, Jessica whispered: "What are you talking about."

Kress stepped up: "My lord, please let me fight."

It turns out that in this world, as long as both parties agree to a duel between nobles, subordinates can take the place.After understanding, Sol cursed the nobles as cowards, and said simply: "Kress, go."

Lovell's garrison has never been in the habit of maintaining their equipment. In addition to being on the road these days, Kress's leather armor is old and dirty, and a sword also broke many gaps in the previous battle against monsters.Compared with Nori, who was in full body armor and holding a shining long sword, he was immediately compared.

Lord Ramo was very proud: "Hmph, it really is from a small place in the countryside. My Nori is a full-time knight of the kingdom's elite knights. You are doomed."

Hearing what he said, Jessica couldn't help showing worry: "Is the other party that powerful?"

Chip said: "I once fought against Dinar's Kingdom Elite Knights during the war. They are indeed very strong. But I can tell you that Kress' sword skills have far surpassed those guys."

The other guards also said: "Don't worry, Miss Jessica, although our captain is not very smart, he is very powerful, although we don't know how powerful he is."

While speaking, Kress and Nori performed a swordsman's salute far away, and each took a stance, and the duel finally began.

****************************************************************************************
"Drink!" With a yell, Kress held the sword in both hands and raised it above his head, attacking from the beginning.

In a swordsman's duel, if either party fails to keep calm, it is tantamount to losing.And Kress's move seemed impetuous no matter how he looked, and he acted rashly because he couldn't bear the pressure.

Nori showed a disdainful smile. It seems that the lord is right, and the countryside is only at this level.It is too wasteful to deal with such inferior swordsmanship by oneself.

He unhurriedly raised his sword and took a step back, completely following the orthodox style of play, and waited for Kress's sword power to be exhausted before looking for an opportunity to fight back.However, the moment his sword intersected Kress, Nori's smile disappeared completely.

With a choking sound that shocked the eardrums, Kress' giant sword slammed into Nori's sword, and Nori immediately felt a huge force coming from the opponent's sword, and his body retreated involuntarily.

Such a strong force, this is Nori's only thought.

But he is an experienced knight after all, although he was a little surprised but not flustered, he leaned forward to stop the retreat, and Nori was ready to fight back.He clearly knew that although Kress' giant sword was powerful, it must not have the flexibility of ordinary swords when wielding it. As long as he saw the opportunity, he could win with one blow.

However, something he couldn't believe happened. Kress, who was supposed to show his flaws due to the exhaustion of the sword, turned the huge heavy sword around his wrist like a wooden sword, and slashed at himself again. There was no stagnation in the transition, as easy as the sword was weightless.

choke!
There was another loud noise, and the muscles in Kress' hands swelled up, and his already thick arms almost swelled by half, and the force that followed was extremely astonishing.This time, it was impossible for Nori to even stand on the ground, so he was thrown into the air so abruptly.

Repelling the enemy with a sword, Kress stepped hard on the ground with his right foot, twisted following the male waist, and swung the sword with both hands with the strength of his waist!
Like a batter's home run, Kress's full-strength hit was completely absorbed by the volleying Nori.The steel sword he bore the brunt of was shattered in an instant, and the giant sword that followed Kress's castration slammed heavily on Nori's breastplate, cutting a shocking deep mark on the smooth surface of his armor.

boom!Nori flew across the entire tavern hall like a cannonball, and fell firmly into a pile of tables and chairs, splashing the broken table legs and chair backs all over the sky.

"Oh, my God!" Lord Ramo screamed exaggeratedly.Who would have thought that Nori, a member of the elite knights, would be defeated in three moves.

"Hey, our captain showed mercy, otherwise the guy with the final blow would definitely be cut in half." A defense member gloated.

With a painful groan, Nori stood up unsteadily. His face was pale, and he was holding a half sword hilt in his hand. His breastplate was almost split in two. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was no longer able to fight.

"Okay, Kress!" Saul shouted ecstatically, it turned out that his subordinates are so powerful.

"Trash!" In contrast, Lord Ramo's face was livid with anger.After leaving these words coldly, he left the tavern without looking back.

Li Nuo was also helped to leave soon, and all the people led by Lamo dispersed in a moment.I never thought that things would turn out like this. After a while, the Lord of Wright said: "Your Excellency's subordinates are really eye-opening, so please follow me to the residence."

Unexpectedly, Sol still shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, I think this place is very good, anyway, I will leave tomorrow."

Looking at him strangely, the city lord nodded, "In that case, I won't disturb your rest, goodbye." Immediately, everyone in Wright City also left.

"Well done, lad!" "You're awesome!" "I'm dumbfounded."…

At this time, all the drinkers raised their glasses to congratulate Kress, who laughed out loud, making the tavern extremely lively for a while.

The boss also took the opportunity to come over: "I really didn't expect that you are a dignified lord. My dilapidated tavern can welcome such a distinguished guest like you, it is really full of glory."

Sol smiled wryly: "Forget it, the lord who is so poor that he spends the night in such a place, I'm probably the only one in the whole Dinar."

"Where is it?" The boss said seriously: "I can see that you are completely different from that arrogant and rude Lord Lamo. I am very grateful that you can refuse the invitation of the city lord to stay here."

At this time, a drinker from the side also came over: "Those high-ranking lords never look down on us poor people. What you have done is really gratifying."

Saul looked at the young men of the garrison who were making trouble with the drinkers, shrugged and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Compared with those so-called nobles, I like the way they are now, so..."

Jessica, who had been watching him all the time, had a strange gleam in her eyes when she heard this.

The boss laughed: "To commemorate the honored customers of the shop, I will waive all your drinks, but..."

"But the tables and chairs broken by Kress will be compensated, right?" Saul took his words.

The boss felt embarrassed: "How do you know? I'm a small business, so..."

Saul sighed secretly, I don’t know how many times I have heard this from Elebena, so I don’t know what you are going to say next.Depressed is, how can I meet such a guy.

At the same time, in a certain room of Wright City Lord's Mansion, there were constant sounds of breaking things.

"Damn it, that country lord dares to insult me ​​like this, I must make him look good!" In the room, the furious Lord Lamo kept throwing things on the ground.

"It was my mistake not to go with you today, otherwise those untouchables will definitely be punished as they should be." said an old man wearing a mage robe with a gloomy face.

"I don't blame you, it's because Nori is too disappointing, he can't even defeat a country swordsman." Lord Ramo seemed to respect him, and gradually calmed down.

The old man pondered and said: "I am very aware of Nori's strength. It is definitely not easy for the opponent to defeat him with three swords. With such a subordinate, we cannot take that Lord Lowell lightly."

Lord Lamo was disappointed: "You mean, I can't take revenge anymore?"

The old man smiled darkly: "Don't worry, as the exclusive magician of the Lamo family, I will never ignore you being humiliated. I already have a plan for how to deal with them."

"Really? Fei Xia." Lord Lamo said in surprise, "What is the plan?"

"That's it..." Fei Xia whispered in Lord Lamo's ear.

After he finished speaking, Lord Lamo was horrified: "Is this really possible? If someone finds out, I'm afraid even my position as Lord will be lost."

Fei Xia said affirmatively: "Don't worry. I heard that there is a gang of bandits nearby, who specially fight against nobles. As long as we blame them, we will wipe out that gang of bandits afterwards. As long as there is no evidence to prove it, no one will notice. , and you can also get the honor of killing bandits."

"Ahaha, that's it. As expected of Fei Xia, it's such a perfect plan." Lord Lamo was very happy: "Hmph, lowlifes of Lowell, you will soon taste the consequences of offending me."
