Xiulant's scolding was not loud. With his background of sixteen famous families, his reputation as Dragon Vein Venerable, and the aura of 150 dragoons, all the half-elves around him who were watching the excitement were shocked. The streets that were bustling before became dead silent, except for the snorting sounds of dragon beasts and elands puffing out white mist.
The half-elf followed Hulant's riding crop with stunned eyes, and Vertok, who stood out from the crowd, suddenly became the focus of the street.
Wiltok's heart was filled with rage, but his mind was extremely calm. He gently put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and then slowly raised his left hand to pull off the mask that would affect the fighting breathing method, revealing a face as handsome as a god, amber. The eyes are deep and cold. The half-elf who stared at him felt a cold anger brewing and spreading in his chest.
Vertok is angry!
These dragoon masters actually want to arrest Wiltok in front of so many of us?
What did Vertok commit? Why should he arrest whomever he wants?
What a bully!
Vice President Berg of the Fallen Leaf City Adventure Guild saw Wiltok's appearance clearly and was distracted for a moment, but the Dragon Veined Half-Elf remained unmoved. The two dragoons jumped off their Oryx mounts, each holding a pair of shackles and approaching Wiltok. The dragoons, whose whole bodies were wrapped in heavy armor, felt extremely oppressive. Their metal boots made a squeaky sound when they stepped on the dirty snow and mud on the street. Their heavy footsteps were like stepping on the hearts of half-elves, making their chests feel tight. It was difficult to breathe, and he couldn't help but duck to both sides.
Only Wiltok refused to take a step back. He was immediately exposed in the open space and faced two dragoons who were armed to the teeth and whose facial expressions could not be seen clearly.
The ferocious dragoon is bullying a weak and handsome half-elf... He doesn't even have a beard and is still a teenager.
Vice President Berg's mind became hot and he blurted out without even thinking: "Stop!"
Within the Adventurers' Guild, various forces are intertwined. Trade union leaders not only hold high positions of power, but also have strong backgrounds. As soon as Berg spoke, the two dragoons stopped and looked back.
Hulant looked down sideways and asked calmly: "Vice President Berg, what's your problem?"
Berg had just finished shouting, and he regretted it at the time. After regaining his composure, he wanted to slap himself twice.
In such a cold weather, he didn't stay well in Luoye City and accompanied Hulant to the remote town of Braun to hunt shadow lurkers. It was not because his backer was from the famous Golden Oak family. It's just that his backstage boss is not the patriarch of the famous Golden Oak family, but another elder. As for Xiulant, although he is not a blood descendant of the famous Golden Oak family, he is still a servant of the clan leader. In terms of ability, status, reputation, and real power, most of the blood descendants of the famous Golden Oak family are far inferior to him.
The dragon-veined half-elf always had the aura of a ferocious beast, and the aura of the dragon-veined venerable was evident. Berg was looked down and interrogated by Hurant. He was under heavy pressure in his heart and almost shed a cold sweat. And now he has become the focus of everyone's attention. The half-elves in Braun Town look at him with hidden expectations, which makes Vice President Berg complain endlessly. However, after all, he was the vice president of the Adventure Union who could gain a foothold in Luoye City. He thought quickly and said sincerely to Hulant: "General Hulant, the Adventure Union manages many adventurers in the alliance and has its own rules. Adventure. If someone commits a crime in Braun Town, the branch president of the local trade union will, as usual, ask him to intervene. You see, the president of the branch, Bottom, is here, and we shouldn't make things difficult for him."
As he said that, he winked quietly at Hulant again, just like he had done the same body language to Bottom before. He seemed to be hinting to Hulant that Braun Town was not Fallen Leaf City. Boss Bottom was the person in power here, and it was never a good idea to offend Bottom.
It doesn't matter whether Hulant understood what he meant. Berg has always been accustomed to being a good person on both sides, which is also a common problem in the main city's Adventurer's Guild.
Berg was right. The adventurers were all men with strength, courage, and property. How could they allow the noble families of the highlands to convict and plunder at will?
Protecting the rights and interests of adventurers is an important cornerstone for the adventurer union to maintain its authority. If an adventurer commits a crime, the public security department in the main city must first report it to the person in charge of the adventure union, who will then make an announcement to the adventurers.
The Adventurer's Guild involves too many issues. The most direct problem is that if the Adventurer's Union collapses, the Disa Alliance will have no adventurers, but a group of armed desperadoes. The city-state council cannot properly accommodate these people, and they will become lawless bandits.
The city-state parliament is composed of the speaker, deputy speaker, legion generals, and members. They all have to maintain the normal operation of the adventurer's union. Besides, Hulant was not yet a general with a seat in parliament. When he first came to Braun Town, he wanted to capture an adventurer. In fact, he had broken the rules of the game and offended the public.
However, Hulant didn't seem to care about this. He pointed at Wiltok and said: "I suspect that he is related to the female gangster Wolf Girl wanted by the alliance. I will arrest him now."
"General, please wait a moment."
Vice President Berg shouted first, pulled the hotel owner aside, and whispered: "Bartom, the union has informed you about the information about the Wolf Shepherd Girl before. What you don't know is that, just two months ago, Before, the shepherd girl sneaked into Luoye City and killed several famous disciples, including the nephew of the leader of the Golden Oak clan... The giant horn guard regiment that rounded up her suffered heavy casualties. All members of two squads were killed, and one squadron was maimed. , even the deputy leader of the giant horn, the great Venerable Dict, was seriously injured. I am afraid that he will have to turn to the dragon vein route in the future. By the time more than a dozen Venerables rushed over to support, the shepherd girl had escaped. By the way, the union now knows that the shepherd girl The name of the wolf girl, she calls herself Miracle Queen Bertina, and she even makes wild promises to capture the Dragon King as a pet, and then make the clan leaders of all the famous clans kneel down and lick her footprints."
Bottom frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Wiltok?"
Vice President Berg feigned anger and said: "You still don't understand? This matter is too big, you must not get involved... General Hurant wants to arrest Wiltok, it will be good for everyone if you take the initiative to cooperate. .”
Hulant had no intention of giving Berg more time. He nodded slightly at his two subordinates, and the two dragoons rushed towards Wiltok.
Vertok took a deep breath, letting the cold air flow into his hot chest, just as he was about to draw his sword to fight back. Bottom's stocky figure flashed in front of him, and without hesitation, he slashed out two sharp blades, forcing the two heavily armored dragoons back. He pulled out two sharp scimitars, pointed at the cross opening on the front of the dragoon's horned helmet, and said in an imposing manner: "Get out!"
The previous two blade lights cut into the cross opening of the horned helmet, and the two dragoons thought they were dead. They were caught by Bottom's superb sword skills and bone-chilling killing intent, and they were stunned in place and did not dare to move.
Bottom has always had prestige among adventurers. He had already drawn his sword and pointed it at the dragoons in Highland City. The professionals and awakened people in the Adventurer's House drew their weapons one after another. The other adventurers also drew their swords, stretched their bows, and raised their crossbows, all aiming at the dragoons on the street.
In fact, most adventurers didn't understand the situation, but these days, they were inspired by the war atmosphere in Braun Town, and they still had expectations for the arrival of the dragoons. As a result, Hurant directly cut through the city gate. Then he said coldly that the orc invaders had nothing to do with them. The adventurers will inevitably have resentment in their hearts.
Whether it's out of jealousy or fear, adventurers from the bottom cannot stand the highland half-elves. What's more, they mainly live in Braun Town, relying entirely on the Adventurer's Home to provide logistical support and maintain order. Based on practical needs and emotions, they all agreed that Boss Bottom was the leader of the adventurers in Braun Town. Even if they are unfortunately injured and disabled during adventure activities, Bottom will find a way to arrange a way for them to survive.
Will the famous Dragon Vein Venerable Xiulant still care about the life and death of adventurers?
If Hulant wanted to capture someone else, the adventurers might not come forward yet. But he captured Vertok, so that won’t work!
No one can explain the truth clearly. In short, Wiltok stayed in Braun Town for a year. He talked and chatted with almost every adventurer. His charming qualities silently affected every half-elf. The arrest of Wiltok by dragoons from a prominent highland family aroused strong empathy in the half-elves.
They were ashamed and uneasy about their escape. Now that Boss Bottom was taking the lead, they immediately became angry.
Combining various factors, the emotional resonance, contrast, and heightening formed an invisible force. Even the Qin and Whistle Adventure took out weapons and stood on the side of the Braun Town adventurers.
The adventurers drew their swords, and the well-trained dragoons immediately jumped off their mounts and silently formed a battle formation. The clanging sound of heavy swords being unsheathed was heard in unison, and the fierce and powerful aura spread freely, forcing the adventurers to involuntarily He retreated and spread out, trying to use his best fighting tactics.
This is of course the instinctive reaction when the adventure group encounters a strong enemy. However, the two sides faced off on the street, with strong and weak sides clearly distinguishable. The adventurers' morale dropped and they were just gritting their teeth.
Countless snowflakes were swirling and falling in the gray sky, and Vice President Berg was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know how the dragoons and adventurers were so tense. The smell of blood that was about to explode made him want to find a hole and hide it.
At this time, no one cared how much the vice president of the trade union, who was neither on either side, was feeling tortured.
Hurant and his three capable men jumped off the Oryx mount, took out their heavy horse-killing swords, and walked straight in front of Bottom, not caring about the spears and daggers on the opposite side.
Dragon Vein Venerable Xiulant's face was hidden under his helmet, but everyone seemed to be able to see his cold smile. He pushed away the two dragoons, letting Bottom's heavy scimitar point at his breastplate, and said: "Botom, an elite noncommissioned officer who survived the February War, killed continuously during the breakout battle in the Dark Land. Dozens of orcs and alien orcs, covered in blood, were awarded the title of Red Lion Batom. Unfortunately, your chief officer died in the battle, and you and your men should have been tortured after the war. Ofilok of the Rock Giant Legion Your Excellency, however, is lenient to you and allows you and your men to retire from the legion."
"Bartom the Red Lion...Humph, he really deserves his reputation."
The higher Hurant promoted Bottom's reputation, the more Bottom's heart sank. Now that both parties have reached this point, it is no longer possible to retreat. Bottom took back his scimitar and asked simply: "Lord Hurant, how do you plan to end this?"
"I just saw you draw the sword. You should have mastered the secret of the mirror heart." Hulant nodded slightly and said calmly: "The reputation and fighting skills of the Red Lion Bottom are qualified to be my opponent. We have a real sword duel, and you die. , I captured Wiltok; if you win, my men will leave Braun Town."
The Dragon-blooded Half-Elf Lord invited an old fourth-level swordsman to fight, but Bottom had to admit that this was indeed a way to avoid large-scale bloodshed. Verbal arguments and fear of fighting were meaningless at this time. Just when he was about to agree, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed came from behind.
Vertok was slowly drawing his sword, and the fighting breathing method was inflating his energy, filling every muscle and conjunctiva in his body. The surging sense of power made him high-spirited and confident.
Hurant stood there stupidly, not even taking a position to prepare for a sneak attack. I only needed to stab at an angle, and the long sword could penetrate the opening of his helmet and kill him... Weir Tok didn't care about the rules of real sword duels or the consequences of bloody conflicts. He just wanted to kill this annoying Hurant.
No one would ignore Vertok, and Hurant and his men were certainly no exception. They all looked at the ridiculously beautiful half-elf boy with interest.
Wiltok's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he predicted that his lightning-fast thrust would hit the target, but at least seven hands stretched out from around him to pull him back.
"Wil, get behind quickly."
"Don't worry, we will protect you."
"..." When Wiltok was running the combat breathing method, he really couldn't speak. Otherwise, he would curse others.
Hurant's female animal trainer companion saw Wiltok being carried to the back with all hands and feet, and she let out a series of clear laughter.
No one noticed that Wiltok's amber eyes had just cracked a tiny gap, and dark golden light was flowing inside.
"Vell, Bottom, it's time for you to come back for dinner." A loud voice came from the hotel on the street, drawing everyone's attention.
The fat cook of the Adventurer's House walked out of the hotel door. Her tall and plump figure was like a giant bear standing upright. Her fat hand held a rolling pin made of stone, but the size of the rolling pin was exaggerated to scare people. .
Hurant's body was naturally tense and his pupils were constricted. Even though he was more than 20 meters away from the fat cook, he still felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
The dragon-veined half-elf venerable finally smiled, and a terrifying aura that was as real as the essence overflowed from the silver armor, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth:
"Unstoppable Sarah!"
