Just before everyone woke up, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the tavern. It was Sheriff Yogana-sama and his patrolmen who rushed in.
Seeing them coming in, Trinville couldn't help but curled his lips again.
These guys have never been so quick and timely when they should appear!
Master Yogana looked at the mess in the tavern, with a stern expression on his face, but he could not hide a hint of uncontrollable joy. He was not very happy today.
All because of that Trinville!
This time, he once again caught the Stosey brothers who his entire patrol had not caught, and once again made him embarrassed in front of the king and the whole city. To be fair, Master Yogana had spent many days chasing the Stosei Bandits. But in the end, Trinville was still one step ahead. This is so unfair!
What made him blush even more was that it was said that His Majesty the King had chosen Lord Yogana's name, and he had to come in person to read out the King's order of commendation. And that arrogant guy only glanced at him sideways. He was so angry that he was shaking all over just thinking about it.
He had just come out of the dirty and noisy Blueberry Tavern. Before he had gone far, someone reported to him that there was an armed fight in the tavern. One of them is the hunter Trinville who has always despised him, known as "Big Vika".
That guy is bullying a foreigner!
"Finally, I caught you." He was elated after hearing this. "I don't care about foreigners! I just want that arrogant guy to know that breaking the law should be punished."
How impatient the Lord Sheriff is! But when he arrived with the patrol, the legendary battle seemed to be over. If it weren't for the mess all over the place, just looking at their expressions, it would be as if nothing had happened at all. The people in the tavern were still drinking wine leisurely as he had just seen. Some people looked at him and his soldiers with strange eyes, as if a monster with a tail and a "goo" sound suddenly broke in. This made him very angry.
However, Master Yogana is like a persistent hound, he will never give up the long-awaited opportunity easily. He walked forward and said arrogantly to the old man Blueberry: "I received the report, so I came. Old man, I will bring justice to you for what happened here."
But Old Man Blueberry said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, dear Sheriff. But nothing happened here? I'm sorry to make your trip in vain. Alas, I really can't think of anything worth asking for. You did justice for me." His tone was humble and ungrateful.
But Lord Yogana was not satisfied with this answer at all. He sneered: "Humph! Then how do you explain the things you smashed on the ground? Could it be that the devil has come to visit? If there is really a devil among your guests, it seems that he must be very fond of you. Not satisfied. Otherwise, he is just a boring guy who likes to break other people's pots and jars. Come on, listen to me - if you cover those guys who disturb the peace, then you have to be careful. My duty does not allow it. Our capital city is plagued by bandits and thugs."
At this time, Trinville said lazily: "Diligent and amiable Sheriff, Lord Yogana who always upholds justice, I don't know who the robbers and thugs you mentioned are? I thought there were only those in shining clothes. Jinyi, only the guy with glittering gems on his body deserves this title. Am I the only one who has thought this way? Then, if I am right, you come to our tavern filled with the smell of wine and sweat to find the so-called thugs, I don’t think you will find them.
All of you here are honest and kind-hearted people. Their moral character is like the fine wine here, clear and honest. Even if they accidentally get drunk, you won't find more decent drunks anywhere. I dare to say this even after leaving this tavern. "He said, not forgetting to pour the wine in the glass into his mouth.
Even though he heard everyone's laughter, Lord Yogana remained unmoved. He sneered: "If a person's sword is used to kill chickens and sheep for the tavern in order to add one or two side dishes to this shabby wine table, then there is nothing I can do. Because you are legal. However, if all his energy is used to deal with the tables, chairs and benches that are supposed to be sitting under his buttocks, that is another matter. Yes, I suspect that you are fighting with weapons and damaging the property of the Blueberry Tavern, no matter how small it is. It's insignificant, but it is absolutely not allowed!
I am the peace officer of the kingdom, the enforcer of the law, and I cannot turn a blind eye. This is the power given to me by the king and the citizens. Now, I am doing my duty to stop such atrocities. I will throw thugs into jail, no matter how eloquent they are, they will only be left trembling in the cell. However, since someone has done something bad and is punished, it is a matter of course. No one can do anything illegal under my watch. "
"But there is really no one fighting here." Trinville said calmly.
"Yes, yes. Didn't you hear what Daddy Blueberry said? We can all testify that we didn't see anyone fighting." Everyone saw that Trinville's expression remained unchanged, and the worries in everyone's hearts gradually disappeared. Moreover, they were also happy to see their big man Vika embarrassing Lord Yogana again. They couldn't help but become bolder, echoed, and imitated Trinville's behavior, winking and laughing.
Yogana wanted to catch Trinville, but the current scene made him a little frustrated. The ground was in a mess, but no one came out to identify the criminal. He felt that this time was no different from before, and the criminal was slowly slipping out of his hands again. He should have expected this to be the case. Now that things have come to a point, he is a bit unable to get off the stage. But he also knew that Trinville was loved by everyone in this tavern. He couldn't do it rashly.
He thought he might start with the victims of the brawl. And this seemingly lonely foreigner will definitely bring him what he wants. At this time, he represents the law!
So, he said loudly: "Foreigners, don't be afraid. I guarantee you that Apodoli follows the law. No matter where you come from, as long as you set foot on the land of Apodoli, your footprints will remain in the royal city." Even the most remote and deserted alleys are protected by the law. I am the peace officer of the kingdom, and I received the power to punish thugs from the wise King Orzin. So, believe me - if you are bullied, you will Speak up."
Yogana was no fool, and he could certainly guess where this dispute came from. As long as a stranger points his finger and accuses him of being unfairly treated, he will immediately wave his hand, and Trinville, who has always been arrogant, will know how terrible the consequences of offending his authority, the Sheriff. In this world, only gods and laws cannot be blasphemed!
And, of course, His Majesty the King, and so on!
The stranger said politely: "I have no doubt that in the country of the great His Majesty Savo Orzin, everyone will be treated justly and kindly. But unfortunately, my dear Lord Sheriff, not only do I I have not been bullied as you just claimed. On the contrary, I am drinking delicious beer with my old friends. However, I am afraid someone broke in and disturbed our drinking fun. "
Trinville was even more triumphant. Blueberry Daddy and others were even more confused.
Yogana sneered: "Are you treating me as a fool? If you lie in front of the enforcers of the law again, I will put you in jail."
"What crime?" The stranger still smiled.
"Certainly perjury and flouting the law."
"How do you know he is lying, my lord?" Trinville asked with a smile.
"Of course I know! Will I, the police officer, be idle all day long like you? My duty requires me to make accurate judgments on what happens every day in this city and the people coming and going from all over the place. My soldiers We can testify that this stranger came to the royal city just this morning. Because he also asked the soldiers guarding the city gate, this shows that he has never been to Babuklei City before. How could he have old friends? ?”
"Haha." Trinville laughed.
Yogana couldn't help but became angry. He jumped on his feet and roared: "What's so funny? If you don't stop your hateful laughter, I guarantee you, you will regret it."
Trinville no longer wanted to joke with Yogana. He said in a triumphant and sympathetic voice: "Dear Lord Sheriff, you will soon know that we are not lying - we are true friends. And maybe you know him too. Oh. , No—you must know him. It’s just that your duties didn’t allow you to recognize him.”
Yogana saw nothing about the stranger that seemed familiar at all, and he had completely lost his patience. He said impatiently: "Well, it seems that I can only take you all to the official office. I think you will tell the truth. But even in prison, I will not know anyone who has just stepped into the royal city and comes from the east. Foreigner.”
Under the worried eyes of everyone, Trinville said slowly: "Lord Yogana, please wait a moment. Before taking us to your formidable government office, I want to introduce someone to you. But. Don’t you really recognize it yet? I’m really ashamed of you. Open your eyes and look carefully. He is Bodie Gennall’s son, little Glenn. Take a good look!”
Everyone was frightened by this name. Bodie Gennall's son, Glenn Jr., disappeared seventeen years ago and was never seen again. The year old Genard died, his son did not come back either. Almost everyone thought that little Glenn had died in a foreign country long ago. Perhaps except for his mother, Aunt Lei Sirui, no one still remembers him. Now Trinville suddenly said that the elegant foreigner was little Glenn, how could he not be shocked. Several people completely forgot about being rude and ran up to the stranger, looking him up and down.
Trinville laughed when he saw that everyone was dubious. He was the only one who recognized Glenn at a glance and made a little joke with him, keeping everyone else in the dark.
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became: "Grain, can you tell everyone? No matter what enters my hunter's eyes, I will never forget it. The reason why I can recognize you is because we hugged each other when we were children." The brotherhood fostered by being together and rolling in the dirt."
Grein bowed slightly and said to everyone: "Although I don't know everyone here, please forgive me. I am Gnar's son, Ed Grein. It's me, and I'm back."
So everyone suddenly began to believe it. Some people also said that when they think about it, little Glenn still looks like he does now, and he hasn't changed at all. They gathered around him and greeted him warmly. Glenn greeted everyone politely, and of course Trinville would tell him who was welcoming him. No one paid attention to the young woman, and no one paid attention to Yogana.
The Chief Sheriff of the Capital stood aside blankly, his face turning red and white, but there was nothing he could do. It didn't matter that he didn't recognize the stranger as Glenn, but fortunately he still remembered the special relationship between the Ed Glenn family and the distinguished royal family. He had seen him more than once many years ago. At that time, Lord Yogana was still a loyal guard in the palace guard. In this way, he can really be regarded as an old friend.
Today's idea of throwing them all into a cell cannot be realized at any cost. He glared at Grayne and Trinville fiercely, and was so angry that he could only lead his soldiers away in despair.
The atmosphere in the tavern was even more lively than before. There were several people who had briefly been Grain's neighbors before. You know, the mysterious disappearance of little Glenn caused a lot of trouble at the time, so that many years later, it is still a topic of conversation among many people. They kept asking questions, eager to know now how he left Barbuckle and how he suddenly returned to Apodoli seventeen years later.
Glenn smiled slightly and said to everyone: "I am very grateful for everyone's kindness, and I am happy to be with you. But please forgive me, I have stayed outside long enough, and now I just want to return to my home. My My mother must be the person who wants to see me the most."
"Yes, yes." Everyone said, "You should go home early. Poor Aunt Lei Sirui, she has been waiting for this day. But she will definitely pass out with joy."
After finally getting out of the enthusiastic crowd, Trinville volunteered to go with him. He said without hesitation: "If I don't show you the way, you will definitely not be able to find your home."
