Legendary Hero

At the pier in Vendôme, Homlin looked at the tax official sitting on the ground clutching his chest and screaming. He was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. This damn guy, is he still trying to blackmail him?

However, when things got to this point, he also knew that he could never do anything again. In fact, he also regretted his impulsiveness just now.

Anyway, this Eitrigg is also an official. If this guy is determined to say that he was injured, especially when there are so many people around him, it will be a troublesome thing. He might even go to jail .

"Stand up, stop pretending." Holmlin yelled angrily in a low voice, and stepped forward, trying to pull Eitrigger up from the ground. He knew that this kid was definitely faking it.

Eitrigger seemed to have never heard of it, and still held his chest and shouted in pain: "My heart hurts, ah, I feel so bad, I'm going to die. Ah, Huo Mlin, you are so ruthless!"

More and more people came around to watch. The people who came behind didn't know what was going on. Just based on the scene they saw now, it was easy to draw the conclusion that Huo Mlin was arrogant and domineering. Many people began to support tax collector.

"That's Huo Mlin, he is really arrogant."

"Yes, Homelin the Miser, this fellow is extremely stingy. I heard that his dining table is as bright as a mirror, and his servants must pick up the crumbs on the dining table and eat them clean."

"Look at him, he doesn't regret beating someone, but he still wants to continue beating!" Someone looked at Huo Mlin and Eitrigera, and came to such a conclusion.

In short, Homelin's reputation at the pier is really not very good. In fact, the reputation of all wealthy businessmen in the docks is not very good. The dock workers always hate the businessmen with their eyes above the top, so when this kind of thing happens, everyone completely ignores the truth of the matter, and instinctively tends to favor Condemnation and anger.

Seeing that the crowd was already excited, Huo Mlin was also a little flustered, and shouted: "What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Get out! Get out! Morrie, Perot, let them get out!"

Homelin's two servants are both tall and burly. Although they felt a little guilty in their hearts, they still pushed and pushed the people who kept pushing forward, and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I don't want to get punched!" Yes, back off! It's none of your business here, let's go, let's go!"

The two servants pushed a little too hard, and an old man was accidentally pushed to the ground, crying out in pain.

Someone in the crowd yelled: "Kill this miser, doesn't he just have gold coins! Kill him!"

This sentence is like sparks hidden in a powder keg, detonating the explosives in the hearts of the audience.

"Boom~~" There was a sound, something exploded.

The crowd suddenly became agitated and rushed forward, wanting to vent their hatred for these rich merchants on the docks. These damned guys, who usually try their best to deduct their wages, are now so domineering, they even dare to hit the tax official of the lord. Take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Huo Mlin's complexion changed drastically. He finally realized that something bad happened. In this chaotic situation, as the target of public criticism, he was very likely to be beaten to death by these dock workers, and no one would sympathize with him.

In the chaos, he saw several city guards standing outside the crowd, and these people were just watching from a distance, with no intention of stopping them at all.

This discovery chilled Huo Mlin's heart. He knew that he had fallen into a well-designed trap, and he might die today!

"Hit, kill this bastard!"

"Take his clothes off and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"

At this moment, Huo Mlin felt that he was the enemy of the whole world, with malice from all directions, and there was no way to escape.

"It's over. I'm being plotted against this time. I think I'm going to die for no reason." He knew the current situation very well in his heart. If he was beaten to death in today's situation, no one would sympathize with him, even if the lord knew about it. In order to appease everyone's emotions, he will also be pointed out as the chief culprit, and he will be charged with causing the riot this time.

In short, he is estimated to be finished this time.

"Go away!!!!!!"

Just when Huo Mlin was terrified, a deafening thunder suddenly exploded around the crowd. The sound was so loud that the substantial sound wave was crushed like a huge stone mill, shaking the ears of everyone present. There was a buzzing sound, and a few timid ones even peed on their pants, their legs softened, and they fell to the ground.

"....."

"....."

After a loud shout, the crowd fell silent, and the enthusiasm that had just risen was suppressed by the roar, just like a large basin of ice water was poured on the stove, and the flame was extinguished at once.

Outside the crowd, Luo Lin, who was wearing a magic steel suit and fully armed, stood quietly.

He walked all the way just now, and the situation got a little out of control when he walked halfway. Someone was deliberately inciting the emotions of the onlookers, so he used a combat technique: war roar.

This combat technique is a killer move in bloody fights on the battlefield, and now it is used on these ordinary people who have never seen blood, and the effect is naturally extremely violent.

He turned his head and looked around, his eyes shone coldly. Wherever his eyes saw, the people there immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

The crowd was silent, no one dared to say anything.

Only then did Luo Lin stride towards the entrance of the tax office. Everyone he met along the way unconsciously backed away to make way.

Walking all the way in front of the tax officer Eitrigg, Rowling slightly bent down and stretched out his hand to him, his voice was cold and without any warmth: "What are you doing sitting on the ground, get up."

"I... I suffer... suffer..." Eitrigger instinctively clutched his chest, wanting to continue acting, but for some reason, facing this warrior, his heart felt as heavy as a huge stone, and his throat felt even worse. I was caught by something, and I couldn't speak.

"Huh?" The thick voice rolled in Luo Lin's throat, hiding an unspeakable threat. To Eitrigg's ears, it was like the low growl of a beast before it attacked. He had an illusion, as if the next second , the other party would draw his sword and kill him, he couldn't resist, his courage was vented, he didn't dare to hold on anymore, he got up from the ground, wiped his face, and shrank to the side with his head drooping, not daring to make a sound.

Luo Lin chuckled a few times, then turned his head and said to the audience: "Okay, this guy is in good health and not injured. It's fine here, you all go away."

His voice is not heavy, but his voice is as thick as a bell and drum, extremely oppressive, with an indescribable majesty, which makes people unable to resist. Especially since he was wearing a suit of fine battle armor, one could tell that he was a powerful warrior with extraordinary status.

Facing Huo Mlin, a businessman with only two entourages, of course everyone dared to bully him, because Huo Mlin didn't have much resistance at all, but in the face of this terrifying warrior, the dock workers dared not say a word, let alone People dare to stand out, otherwise, if they are not careful, they will be killed by this warrior with a sword, and they will die in vain.

Everyone went through such an instinctive balance in their hearts, and then they all chose to retreat, and quickly dispersed.

A crisis disappears invisible.

Huo Mlin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. After what happened just now, he only had one feeling in his heart, no wonder his daughter fell in love with this young man, he is indeed extraordinary. For a moment, more than half of his resistance to Luo Lin disappeared in his heart, leaving only a little resentment.

He was also a smart man, and said loudly to Luo Lin: "Lord Luo Lin, didn't you go to your territory? Why did you come back?"

This is to show Luo Lin's identity to the people around him. Look, this is a lord with a territory, and he is also my acquaintance. If you are sensible, don't mess with me, let alone the lord.

These words were very effective. Sure enough, when the people around heard Luo Lin's identity, they were suddenly surprised. No wonder he was so majestic. He turned out to be a lord.

All of a sudden, the somewhat unwilling onlookers also dispersed. This matter involved a powerful noble lord, and ordinary people like them could no longer intervene. It deserves it, no one dares to take the risk.

To Huo Mlin's question, Luo Lin replied with a smile: "I recently exterminated a gang of thieves in the team leader, and got a good income. I came back to ask you to deal with it. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing here. I was far away just now. Listen, your ship seems to be detained, what's going on?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Huo Mlin became angry again, and said angrily: "The materials I bought on board are the basic materials needed by your territory. I guess you will definitely need them, so prepare to ship them by sea." I went to Gaoshan Town, but I didn't expect this dog to arrest the boat and not let me leave the port."

"Oh, so it's my supplies." Luo Lin didn't expect that Huo Mlin's efficiency was so high, and he was quite satisfied, and asked, "What's there?"

"Most of the ship's grain, as well as wood and 3,000 kilograms of steel ingots. These steel ingots were transported to Vendome by southerners for sale. The price is very cheap and the quality is good. I think you will definitely need them, so I bought them by the way. .”

"Well, very good, I do need steel ingots." After finishing speaking, Rollin turned to Eitrigg: "Okay, now things are clear, as a lord, I have the right to purchase an appropriate amount of steel ingots to make farm tools, so you Let it go."

"But..." Eitrigger remembered the order he received from a certain important person last night, and instinctively wanted to object.

"But what?" Luo Lin narrowed his eyes, and put his hand on the hilt of his waist.

Cold sweat dripped down Eitrigg's forehead. He knew that the other party would not dare to kill him because he was a tax collector appointed by the lord. Individuals can let him, a tax official, step down, and when he loses his position... the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, the aura of this lord is really terrifying. Faintly, his nose seems to smell a stench mixed with blood and steel. He knows very well that this smell is emanating from the opponent's armor, which shows that the opponent has experienced a lot. In a life-and-death battle, his sword must be haunted by many dead souls, and he certainly wouldn't mind adding one more.

He can't afford to mess with this kind of person.

"No...it's nothing, you can let it go, you can let it go. Just make things clear, haha."

"Well, very good, today's matter troubles you." Luo Lin patted Eitrigger's shoulder lightly and staggered the latter, but he didn't dare to get angry, and he had to keep his face still. Smile like crying.

"The matter here is settled. Holmlin, Miss Dai Wei is also back this time, and she is in the carriage over there. Let's go there. I have something to talk to you about."

When Huo Mlin heard that his daughter had also come, he was very happy. He remembered that Luo Lin had said that he got a good income. He reckoned that this income should be handed over to him, and he was also looking forward to it. He first ordered two servants Going to sail out of the port, he nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, let's go."

The two walked towards the carriage, got into the carriage together, and then the carriage started and drove to a residence of Homelin in the dock area.

It was only after the carriage disappeared around the corner that the tax officer Eitrigg returned to the tax office. He was extremely depressed thinking about how to explain to the lord last night.

Not to mention the unlucky tax officer, on the top floor of a hotel not far from the pier, two people have been standing by the window, watching what happened in the pier.

"Master, the plan has failed." One of them was wearing a short black robe, and bowed respectfully to the other middle-aged man in a navy blue robe. .

"Well, I saw it. But it's not your fault. Your plan this time was perfect, and the failure was just an accident." The middle-aged man said lightly.

The man in black immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

"However, withholding materials and dealing with Huomlin is too petty and cannot be put on the table. So, now you take this prescription to collect materials, and then hide the medicine on the ship where Huomlin transports the supplies."

The man in black took the prescription from the middle-aged man, looked at it, and was surprised: "Master... these materials are very precious, at least five thousand gold coins."

The middle-aged man smiled lightly, as if five thousand gold coins were not worth mentioning to him: "Remember, the more you pay, the more you will gain. Without the support of that green dragon, this Luo Lin would be nothing. neither!"
