"According to the laws of the Empire, anyone who kills a high-ranking noble without authorization will be sentenced to death! So... on behalf of the laws of the Empire, I now sentence Zhang Luan... to death!" Fitz's tone was full of confidence.
Chapter 143
Hold it with pride.
"Do you have any evidence?" Zhang Luan's hand was already holding the grenade, but his face remained calm.
The slaves around trembled, their ears and tails pressed tightly to their bodies, for fear of being involved in the dispute.
"What evidence?" Fitz raised his eyebrows slightly, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"You said I killed Lord Grum. Do you have any evidence?" Zhang Luan asked with a sneer, a cold glint in his eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, Kagu and other orc cavalrymen were all confused.
what's going on?
How can you not admit this?
Are we still willing to follow you?
Isn’t this a bit of a joke?
As expected, as soon as these words came out, Fitz couldn't help but laugh angrily. He patted the dust off his sleeves and asked, "If you hadn't killed Lord Grum, would these private soldiers follow you? Would these slaves obey you? What evidence do you need? All of this is the best evidence!"
"Lord Grum went to kill Cacubis, but unfortunately he was defeated. Before he died, he entrusted the slaves and the private soldiers involved to me. If you don't believe me, ask them!"
Zhang Luan turned around with a smile and looked at the private soldiers behind him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"I... I can prove that I was by Lord Grum's side before he died. That's what he said!"
"Yes, we are all witnesses!"
Kagu took the lead, and a group of orcs immediately nodded their heads like chickens eating rice.
"..."
Fitz looked at these guys and was silent for a while.
"It's all right now!"
Zhang Luan smiled pretending to be relaxed, but he did not relax the grenade in his hand at all.
"If Lord Grum went to kill Cachubis and you happened to be there, even a strong man like Lord Grum would be defeated. How did someone like you survive?"
Fitz smiled coldly, not hiding his inner contempt at all.
"It's simple. Kill Cachubis and I'll be out!"
Zhang Luan smiled slightly.
"What? You...you killed Cachubis!?"
Hearing this, Fitz's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He looked up and down at Zhang Luan carefully with his small eyes, somewhat unsure whether what he said was true.
Even a warrior as powerful as Deputy City Lord Grum was no match for Kachubis. How could this merchant from the Eastern Continent be so powerful?!
"Do you need me to show you? But let me tell you in advance, I can't control this power well. If anything goes wrong, all the responsibility is on you!" There was a hint of danger in Zhang Luan's voice, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, a biting chill suddenly emerged in the air.
The originally warm summer night suddenly became freezing cold, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Around Zhang Luan, glittering snowflakes formed from thin air and drifted slowly down. The light of the torches dimmed in the cold, their flames flickering restlessly.
Snowflakes fell on the ground, sparkling with a faint blue light under the firelight.
The slaves around them couldn't help but shiver, their ears and tails pressed tightly against their bodies. Even the fully armed soldiers couldn't help but step back, their armor making a subtle clinking sound.
Fitz stood on the ladder, feeling this supernatural power, his face turned pale. His body trembled slightly, and his previous arrogance was completely gone.
"No... no need! A hero who can defeat Cacubis deserves the trust of Deputy City Lord Grum. It seems I was wrong!" Fitz waved his hands repeatedly with a wry smile on his face.
His voice had changed in tone, and he no longer had the same momentum as when he questioned him just now.
There is no doubt that it was Zhang Luan who killed Deputy City Lord Grum.
The reason why he launched the attack was because he wanted to take advantage of Grum's death to seize Grum's property and slaves. He slandered Zhang Luan for killing Grum's deputy city lord, purely to eliminate a competitor who wanted to seize the property.
But no one expected that Zhang Luan actually killed Grum!
Then why would I bother to ask for culpability? !
Isn't that suicide?!
"Are you giving in so quickly?"
Zhang Luan couldn't help but be stunned.
I was still thinking about how to show my strength to scare away Fitz and so many soldiers.
If it comes to a head-on fight, Zhang Luan is certainly not afraid at all.
But once the fight breaks out, these hundreds of beast-eared female slaves and the mountains of treasure in Grum's mansion will be in trouble.
That's why Zhang Luan kept silent.
But now that Fitz had admitted his mistake, he couldn't help but put away his grenade, took a step forward, and said, "I'm going to give in now."
"Before his death, Deputy City Lord Grum entrusted all his property to me. Since Lord Fitz is Deputy City Lord Grum's eunuch, that's perfect. Please make a list of all of Grum's property for me. I want to inspect it one by one!"
Chapter 160 Kneel down and open your mouth
Fitz immediately put on a flattering smile, his small eyes narrowed into slits: "Okay, I'll do it right away. From now on, I'll be Knight Zhang Luan's man. If you have anything, you can come to me. I'm willing to serve you!" As he said that, he jumped off the orc's back nimbly and looked up at Zhang Luan.
Zhang Luan reached out and stroked Fitz's bald head like a pet: "Be good, hurry up, I want to see a list of all the properties tomorrow!" His actions seemed intimate, but in fact they were a bit contemptuous.
Fitz bent over, his neck almost shrinking into his chest: "I understand, I'll arrange it right away. Please rest assured, sir, no property will be left out!" His voice became more and more flattering, and the expensive rings sparkled on his fingers.
"Very good!" Zhang Luan was about to say something when suddenly, a silent black shadow passed by.
“Plop! Plop!”
More than a dozen dark figures appeared silently in the encirclement like ghosts. They were wearing tight black clothes and knelt on one knee in unison.
Each of them was holding an unconscious crossbowman, whose weapons were still in their hands. It was obvious that they had no time to react when they were attacked.
The leader was none other than the Night Walker Mira. Under the moonlight, her eyes behind the mask flashed with a cold light.
Her appearance made the soldiers present gasp, and even Fitz subconsciously shrank back.
"Master, do you need us to deal with them?"
Mira asked in a respectful voice.
It is obvious that the men in black who appeared here are only a part of them, and there are still a large number of men in black lurking in the dark.
Darkness is the best battlefield for the guardian, where people can be killed silently and invisibly.
"Ruins Guard?!"
Seeing this scene, Fitz couldn't help but shudder, and he had no doubt that Zhang Luan killed Grum.
He secretly thanked himself for his quick thinking. If he had discovered it later, he would have really started fighting with Zhang Luan.
I'm afraid these guards of the ruins can easily destroy me in the dark.
"No need, Master Fitz is my good friend. You escort these slaves and property to the village. I have other things to do. I'll leave this to you!"
Zhang Luan said.
"Understood. I promise to complete the task, Master!"
Mila bowed her head respectfully, leading the other black-clad cat-eared tribe to make way. Their elegant tails drooped slightly, showing respect for their master.
"Make way, everyone, and send off Knight Zhang Luan!"
Fitz also hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him, then bowed.
The soldiers didn't understand much, but when they heard Fitz ask them to make way, they all made way.
Zhang Luan was just like this, in front of everyone's shocked, surprised, or flattering eyes.
Chapter 144
In the light, he left Grum's mansion.
As for where Freya went, Zhang Luan suddenly thought of the lizardman who appeared at the slave auction house with Grum that day.
Maybe Freya was taken away by the lizardmen.
As the night deepened, Zhang Luan walked through the bustling downtown area. The shops on both sides of the street had closed one after another, and only the pubs and brothels were still brightly lit.
In the night, a quaint little wooden house stands quietly on the corner of the street, surrounded by luminous flowers that emit a faint fluorescent light.
This two-story wooden house is full of the natural atmosphere unique to elves, with vines entwined around the wooden walls and a layer of light green moss covering the roof.
The windows are inlaid with colored glass, which reflects a dreamy light in the moonlight.
Just as Zhang Luan raised his hand to knock on the door, the wooden door opened silently.
The tall elf girl Tiana appeared behind the door.
She was wearing a tight-fitting white silk blouse with silver vine patterns embroidered on the neckline, revealing her slender collarbone and a small area of fair skin.
She wore a pair of dark green tight leather pants, which outlined her slender and powerful legs.
There was a hint of arrogance on Tiana's young but cold face, and her pointed elf ears trembled slightly.
Her blue crystal eyes sparkled with a lively light, and her long silver ponytail was tied high, swaying gently with her movements.
Her bare feet rested on the wooden floor, and she wore a string of silver bells on her ankles.
"Come in, the master is waiting for you!" Tiana said calmly. When she turned around and led the way, her high silver ponytail swayed gently with her elegant steps.
Zhang Luan followed behind her, his eyes involuntarily falling on the girl's graceful figure.
The slender waist is faintly visible under the white silk short shirt, and the curvy figure is wrapped in dark green tight leather pants, swaying slightly with the walking steps.
Her long, straight legs seemed like the most perfect masterpiece of God. Her bare feet made light footsteps on the wooden floor, and silver bells jingled.
This time, Tiana did not take Zhang Luan to the pavilion in the garden, but went directly to the attic on the top floor.
The attic was filled with various metal and wooden magical instruments, and the air was filled with the mixed aroma of herbs and magic potions.
The plump Alia was standing in front of a large pot with colorful bubbles rising from it. She opened her red lips and chanted ancient spells. From time to time, her slender hands picked up a handful of mysterious powder from the porcelain jar next to her and sprinkled it into the pot.
"Lady Alia, your apprentice Zhang Luan is here!" Tiana reported softly, her voice clear and pleasant.
"Okay, got it. Let him wait a moment!" Alia said without turning her head, concentrating on the magic experiment in her hand.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll leave!" Tiana was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Tiana, I need your help to collect some energy liquid from the heroes!" Alia said calmly, as if it was just an ordinary task.
"Let me... collect it?" Tiana's amethyst eyes widened, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her voice was filled with excitement and a hint of disbelief.
"If I wasn't unable to get away now, I wouldn't have asked you to come. After all, the hero's energy liquid is very precious. You must absorb some of it, and don't waste it!" Alia instructed while preparing the potion.
"I understand, and I also hope to help you, Lady Alia, but... I'm not very good at collecting..." Tiana lowered her head, her slender fingers twisted together nervously, and a faint pink appeared on the tips of her ears.
"It's very simple. You just need to kneel in front of the brave, raise your head, open your mouth, and leave the rest to the brave! Right, Zhang Luan?" There was a hint of cunning in Alia's words.
"Ah, yes, I can teach her!" Zhang Luan's old face turned red, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Tiana's childish yet somewhat charming face.
When the girl heard this, her pointed elf ears twitched slightly and the blush on her face deepened.
Chapter 161 Is it full?
"Okay then! I will definitely try my best to complete the task assigned by Lady Alia!" Tiana said softly, her fair cheeks flushed, her long legs slowly bent, and she knelt in front of Zhang Luan.
She raised her innocent face, her delicate features as perfect as porcelain in the candlelight.
The little mouth is slightly open, revealing neat teeth and small tongue.
"Is that so?" she asked innocently, blinking her big amethyst eyes.
Elves are very long-lived. Although Tiana may be more than twice as old as Zhang Luan, she still maintains the youthful and innocent appearance of a girl.
There was a glimmer of ignorance in those clear eyes, and it was obvious that he knew nothing about such things.
"Yeah, almost!" Zhang Luan looked down at Tiana's innocent face, feeling his lower body tense up instantly. Her kneeling posture was unusual, her long thighs clinging to her dark green leather pants, her slender waist leaning slightly forward.
