The streets and alleys of the city were crowded with people, and the streets became noisy and noisy. All kinds of people with various expressions were rushing in the same direction. Ix City has rarely seen such a huge city.
Even in peacetime, such grand events can only be seen during major festivals - and today, the Lane family will follow the announcement they issued and publicly execute family traitors in the central square of Ix City.
Elita Lane.
If the execution was just an ordinary family rebel, or it might not be able to attract so many spectators, but now, the person who is about to be executed is the descendant of the mercenary king Amy Lane, who has left a strong mark in history.
And he is the descendant with the strongest bloodline since the death of the Mercenary King.
And the fools of the Lane family actually wanted to execute her. The onlookers thought it was like chopping off their own hands with their own knives.
"You actually want to execute the person with the strongest blood. Are the guys in the Lane family having water in their heads?"
In a terrace tavern not far from the central square, several drinkers were discussing. Although they lowered their voices, some interested people might as well hear their conversation.
"Tch, you don't know, right?"
Another drinker, whose face was flushed with alcohol, lowered his body and said to his companion: "This is the news I heard from the city defense army. The reason why this person with strong blood was convicted was because she joined the Hero King's Sons."
Mercenary group..."
"The son of the King of Heroes is the one who killed the son of the head of the Lane family a few years ago and was expelled from the Lane family?"
"Is there another son of the Hero King?"
The drinker's voice became louder and said: "Didn't you see that the city defense army has increased its patrols? Almost half of Dirna State's Lane Army has been transferred here... They said that the son of the Hero King must be
We won’t let our members be executed. There will probably be a big battle in the square later, so we’d better stay away.”
A voice asked: "The son of the King of Heroes and the one with the strongest bloodline of the Mercenary King, these two people are important figures in the Lane family, right? The Lane family wants to deal with them like this, what exactly are they planning to do?"
"fart!"
The drinker cursed and burped again before continuing: "The son of the King of Heroes took advantage of his status to casually kill the son of the current head of the family. He was clearly an arrogant and unreasonable person. I also heard that he was in Kaiyi State.
Massacre of enemy soldiers, it took three days just to bury the corpses! This man has no humanity at all, he has simply tarnished the reputation of the Hero King... And that person with strong blood from the Mercenary King lineage is actually with such a person
, I guess they are also colluding with each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of sighs around him.
At this time, a figure at the next table turned around. He was wearing a dark cloak and a hood on his head, making it difficult to see his face. However, on days like this, there were many people dressed the same as him walking through the crowd.
, so he was not noticeable or surprising. He said: "Well, this big brother, why did I hear that the son of the Hero King is a good person? He helped people rebuild the city in Kaiyi State and arranged jobs for refugees.
, allocate vacant rooms, and also give them food for the winter. Even the current head of the Lane family is not so magnanimous."
"fart!"
But the drinker yelled and cursed, saying: "Does he think that he can cover up the truth with some flattery to win people's hearts? As a strong man in the holy realm, he has no self-restraint and goes on a killing spree. He is simply a scumbag!"
His voice was so loud that people inside and outside the tavern cast strange looks.
"Well, it's really unreasonable."
Aranza chuckled under the cloak, but there was no anger at all. His soul sensing ability had told him that this drinker was probably someone hired by the Lane family to spread rumors.
"I think he is a good person..."
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded, but it was a little girl standing at the door of the tavern. She was wearing clothes that were obviously too baggy and old, and the dirty half piece of bread in her hand proved that she was a person who happened to be passing by.
The little beggar just heard the conversation in the tavern and timidly said: "The old beggar at the street said... You won't starve to death in the territory of the son of the Hero King. I want to go too..."
"fart!"
The drinker suddenly turned his inexplicable anger towards the little girl. Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol that made him violent. He stood up and walked over, and kicked the little girl's abdomen with his hard leather boots. He only heard a dull sound,
The little girl couldn't even cry out in pain, and her fragile body suddenly flew backwards and hit the ground in front of the tavern heavily.
"Who are you and what qualifications do you have to speak here!"
The drinker scolded with a sullen face, but then as if nothing happened, he sat back down, raised the bottle, took a sip, looked at his companions, and said: "Haha, don't worry about these dirty beggars.
, where did we just talk about..."
"Speaking of the cruel son of the King of Heroes..."
The tone of the drinker's companions suddenly became respectful and complimentary.
Aranza only glanced at the drinker and walked outside the tavern. The city of Ix is close to the headquarters of the Lane family. Since the Year of Disaster, the war has never been able to spread here, allowing this city to still retain its obvious class.
Division, and the war did not have an impact on this city. At least many refugees would wisely flee here, but they did not want to be beggars waiting for them. They were forced to stand at the lowest level of the class, even serving tea to the ordinary class.
The handyman pouring water didn't even bother to look at them.
So, when Aranza walked to the street, what he saw was the little girl lying unconscious on the ground. Her face was pale and the corners of her mouth were bloodshot. The passers-by didn't even bother to look at her, and even, finally
Someone who was impatient kicked her to the corner.
He was used to seeing flying blood and limbs, and he thought he was numb. But when his eyes fell on the little girl, he felt compassion.
Aranza decided to help her.
Maybe there are still many miserable lives in this world that can awaken his compassion, but he met this little girl.
It was also to save his dying heart.
Aranza sighed softly. He walked through the crowd, walked to the little girl and squatted down. He carefully lifted her up. The light weight of her body surprised him. On the other hand, Aranza took out a hand with her other hand.
He opened a magic scroll and tore it open into the little girl's body.
The fewer people who have experienced magical healing, the more obvious the effect of magical healing. The girl's pale face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although she was still a little hungry compared to people who had enough food and clothing, it was much better than before. Obviously, she
This is the first time I have received a treatment such as magical healing that I never expected.
As soon as the light of the magic faded, the girl woke up.
When she realized that Aranza was holding her, she was startled and opened her mouth, but did not dare to make a sound.
"Well, it's okay, I won't hurt you."
Aranza smiled at her. The hood covered part of his face, but it did not hinder the kindness in his smile. The girl hesitated for a moment, but when she realized that her body was fine, and the magic that Aranza had used
When she was reading the scroll, she suddenly realized something, and instantly tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "Brother... why do they all... bully me..."
Aranza patted her head with her hand and said, "Well, no one will dare to bully you again in the future, I promise."
He stood up, holding the little girl's hand with one hand, and walked back into the tavern.
"Well, apologize to her."
Aranza stood next to the drinker, his voice was low but his words were clear.
The drinker was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Aranza and the little girl hiding behind him.
"snort!"
The drinker's nose twitched and he let out a sound of disdain. He actually ignored Aranza's words and turned back to continue talking.
"Bang!"
The next moment, there was a sudden crash in the tavern, but it was Aranza who kicked the defiant drinker. The drinker's body flew backwards, and the broken chair was smashed heavily along with the pieces of it.
Suddenly there was another noise towards the empty table not far away. The crowd around them cast curious glances, but not much surprise.
Aranza didn't care about these looks. He walked over, stepped on the drinker's face with his foot, and said, "Apologise to her."
The drinker struggled to recover from the dizziness and pain. When he found that his head was being stepped on by someone, and then was forced to apologize to a beggar, his face immediately flashed an angry red, making him grit his teeth.
Said: "You... fart!"
"Bang!"
He kicked him in the lower abdomen again, the force was heavier and more vicious than before. The drinker's body flew out again. When he was in the air, his cramped stomach suddenly surged, but a pile of vomit came out of the drink.
Spewed out from the guest's mouth.
"Brother, don't be like this..."
The little girl tugged on the corner of Aranza's sleeve, and her eyes fell on the crowd around her. Those people's eyes made her feel uncomfortable, and she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"fine."
Aranza seemed to see what the little girl was thinking, and replied: "Well, when he apologizes, we will leave here. Look, he can't stand it anymore."
Sure enough, when Aranza stepped on the drinker's face again, he finally burst into tears and cried in embarrassment: "My lord! My lord! I was wrong, please let me go, please!"
Aranza raised the corner of her mouth, wiped the metal boots stained with vomit on the drinker's body, and then said: "Well, apologize."
"Yes, yes!"
The drinker hurriedly got up from the ground, knelt down in front of the little girl with his whole body trembling, and said: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
His voice was muffled due to panic and pain, but Aranza was very satisfied to see this arrogant drinker turned like this.
At this time, the owner of the tavern pretended to be calm and walked to the side and said to Aranza: "Sir, the city defense troops are already coming this way. You'd better leave here quickly."
"Well, thank you for reminding me."
Aranza smiled at him and left with the little girl.
He took the little girl for a walk on the street twice, bought her some food, and then took her into an inconspicuous small hotel.
When Hancock saw the poor little girl in the hotel, his face changed slightly. She didn't blame Aranza for all the unreasonable things, but said softly: "Where did you pick this up?"
"Well, I saw it on the street and brought it here."
