Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 340: A dispute

Views:

The person who spoke was a tall man. He approached the crowd quietly and was not noticed until he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he was a real master.

The man was about 27 or 28 years old, with a buzz cut. He was actually quite handsome, but his demeanor was full of toughness. In the middle of winter, he was only wearing a short shirt, and his arms, which were exposed, were covered with scars of varying sizes.

He was steaming with heat, and had an officer's uniform draped over his shoulders. It looked like he had just come back from a run.

"Master Delt, you are not on duty today, what are you doing here?" Bosk called him "Master" but his expression was not respectful at all. "What time have you been exercising? Go back and rest."

"Humph, if I hadn't come to see you, who would have known what tricks you would play? You actually secretly sold the slaves belonging to the City Guards, but this woman became the good guy, and the City Guards got a reputation for not caring about the lives of slaves!"

"Nonsense, I was upstairs when they were buried. When I came down, they had already been rescued. This can only be attributed to the fact that Lord Luo Ling acted in a timely manner." Bosk argued.

Luo Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Delt, but asked, "Who is this man?"

"He's new..." Bosque was about to answer, but was interrupted by Delt, "I am the captain of this team, and this guy is just my deputy. So I am the boss of this deal, and I will not sell these two slaves!"

"These two people are seriously injured. If the city guards take them away, they will be dead." Elena said while casting magic.

Luo Ling stopped Elena and said, "Sorry, we have just settled the payment. She is mine now."

"You don't have the final say. The slaves of the City Guards will naturally be treated by the City Guards. Even if they die, they must die in the City Guards' camp." Delt suddenly burst into fighting spirit, and he rushed forward and pounced on the two slaves on the ground.

Leo, Zhong Wei and Wu Tianqiang were all around Elena, and they all rushed forward to stop her, but Delt was like a bull charging forward, and he knocked all three of them away. However, just as he reached out to grab the two people on the ground, an ice shield appeared in front of them, blocking Delt's attack.

"Huh? It's actually a mid-level mage?" Delt chuckled, and with a flick of his body, he bypassed the ice shield and rushed over from the side, but the ice shield controlled by Luo Ling followed him like a shadow and changed direction with him. Delt's figure flashed several times, and his speed was close to the limit of a mid-level warrior, but he was stopped by Luo Ling every time.

Delt's bare-handed attack was fruitless, so he stopped wandering and put his hand on the sword at his waist.

"Woman, you are quite strong, but fists are not my strong point. Try my sword."

"Delt, what's wrong with you? Why are you picking on a great wizard?" Bosk said angrily.

"I'm different from you. I'm a man of honor and I must uphold the dignity of the city guards." Delt slowly drew out his sword.

"Is your dignity to kill two innocent slaves? If they are not saved in the end and still die, what dignity can you get?" Elena said while hiding behind the ice shield.

"What does the dignity of the city guard have to do with the life and death of these two bastards? Our dignity lies in our own rules. Things that cannot be sold cannot be sold. Things that cannot be interfered with by others must be left alone." Delt held the knife in his hand, "So now, if I want them to die, they must die."

"You, you are a lunatic." said Elena.

"Teacher Luo, there is something wrong with this person. This reason is too far-fetched." Liu Pengfei said in a low voice.

Luo Ling nodded slightly. She also realized that this person was here to cause trouble. But the problem was that they had just arrived and had not provoked anyone. Why did they attract such a guy and keep pestering them? Could it be that Xiao Chen had caused the trouble

But Luo Ling believed that if it was something that Xiao Chen had provoked, he would have warned her in advance or come here to help. Unless he himself was not aware of the trouble.

However, Luo Ling discovered that although this guy said harsh words, his actions were very rough, and he had fought in a very good manner, there seemed to be a hint of nervousness and a hint of... embarrassment hidden in his expression.

This kind of embarrassment... Luo Ling thought about it carefully, it was like a boy who didn't want to dance was forced to do a group dance. It was shameful, but he had to do it.

Luo Ling said in a mocking tone: "Captain Delt, seeing the scars on your body, I thought you were a real warrior. I didn't expect that your fists and knives were used to fight against people who had no power to resist."

Delt's expression became more and more embarrassed, almost to the point of being angry, "Woman, every scar on my body is from fighting with the Imperials. Each of my big wounds represents the killing of a master of the Empire. These damn slaves were originally Imperials, so it's not excessive to kill them!"

"But this doesn't change the fact that the person you want to kill won't even move a finger. This has no honor for a soldier." Luo Ling observed his expression and indeed discovered the reluctance shown by the other party in his demeanor and body language.

This is a very poor actor, but who is he performing this scene for

Wait, this guy arrived after they had been stuck here for nearly an hour, and it was almost ten o'clock when he arrived. Obviously, exercise was just an excuse, and the real situation was probably that he hurried over to tangle with us.

Fighting at the slightest disagreement is not very aggressive, but it really tests the skills of the defender. This kind of fight can help you understand the opponent's level without fighting desperately. The biggest possibility is that it is testing the opponent's strength.

Who will be affected by our strength? Who has obvious connections with these military forces and can insert these people into the city guards? A name emerged in Luo Ling's mind.

"Captain Delt, if you continue like this, you will really be our enemy. Do you know whose goods this convoy is carrying?" Luo Ling summoned several more ice shields.

"Ha, what does anyone's goods have to do with me!" When he saw Luo Ling's actions, he raised his knife and was about to chop at the ice shield.

"Most of the goods belong to Princess Laura." Luo Ling said.

"What? How is that possible?" At that moment, Delt showed a very surprised look, and then he said, "That's impossible!"

Luo Ling thought to herself, "As expected." Now that she knew who had extended the claw, the best way was to chop it off with a fierce blow, so that the other party would remember a lesson.

Delt revealed a flaw in the moment of surprise. Luo Ling mobilized her spiritual power that was close to a high level and immediately blew all the ice shields into sharp ice blades. The two ice spears arrived first, pierced through the ice blades and hit Delt.

Delt had never expected Luo Ling's counterattack to be so sharp. He was knocked away by the torrent of ice and snow and fell to the ground covered in ice debris.

“Mr. Luo Ling, this, this, this…” Bosque was stunned by the power that Luo Ling burst out.

"You should have seen that he was the one who started it, and I was just fighting back, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Luo Ling took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth with it, saying, "That's good to know. Didn't he say that the city guards are good at healing? You can send him there."
