The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 73: Viscount Barbour’s response

The rain is getting lighter.

And the wind is strong——

After Gerald's body turned into a nightmare, an inexplicable strong wind blew by, blowing Annan's rain-wet hair a little messy.

He squinted his eyes and reached out to slowly push his hair back down.

Although Annan felt that it might be cool for him to suddenly slick back his hair into a slicked back at this time... but obviously it was not the time to "let me stand at the top" yet.

"What's wrong?"

His movements suddenly paused, and he vaguely heard noises coming from outside the human wall.

Annan raised his voice and asked: "Who is coming for such a heavy rain?"

At the same time, he gently patted Salvatore's shoulder and signaled him with his eyes.

Salvatore is obviously no fool either.

The young wizard with short brown hair and heavy bags under his eyes reacted quickly, took two steps forward, picked up the ordinary-looking hammer, and quietly put it in his pocket.

Noisy sounds soon came from outside the crowd, accompanied by chaotic footsteps and bright yellow lights, gathering from all directions.

"Is Lord Geraint still in there?"

Someone shouted outside: "Is he trapped?"

It was a man wearing leather armor, standing tall and with several medals hanging on his chest. He looks to be in his forties, his temples are still a little gray, and some wrinkles can be seen at the corners of his eyes, but he is still in good spirits.

On his waist was a seemingly huge pistol, and on the other side was a fine steel sword - this strange weapon configuration obviously attracted the players' attention.

Behind him was a row of young people dressed as security guards. They were holding strange-shaped oil lamps in their hands, which looked like vertical barrel-shaped lanterns, but the flames in them were green, and when the firelight reflected through the thin oil paper, it turned into a warm yellow.

"No, we are..."

"Yes, we..."

"Hello, here..."

The players didn't know how to respond. Several people spoke to the man at the same time, but instead they became a mess. But more people were subconsciously unwilling to let go of the door, so when they squeezed in, they pushed back without fear. Suddenly, the narrow doorway was in chaos.

At this moment, Annan’s voice came from inside, clear, tender but majestic:

"I am Don Juan Geraint. Who are you?"

Annan added: "Let them in."

The human wall formed by the players did not hesitate to disperse to both sides until this moment. Several players who had previously talked to the middle-aged man also left his side without hesitation.

These orders and prohibitions obviously made the middle-aged men and the police officers behind him stunned for a moment.

The moment he saw Annan’s face, he couldn’t help but be shocked for a moment——

Just because Annan's eyelashes that were wet from the rain, combined with his ice blue pupils, made him feel closer to inorganic. Just like a doll with two jewel eyes... It gives people the illusion of being cold, distant and dull.

But this is obviously an illusion.

Middle-aged men can roughly judge from Annan's subtle expressions, eyes and body language that he is a strong yet gentle person who abides by order but is not timid and fearful of trouble.

This is his many years of experience in solving cases.

He reacted quickly, gave Annan a standard salute, and said respectfully:

"Hello, distinguished lord. My name is Ferdinand, and I am the deputy police chief of Roseburg."

"You know now that I am your lord?"

Annan chuckled: "But that's not what you said when I entered the city before."

When he entered Rossburg before, he also tried to show his noble token to prove that this was the lord's motorcade. But the young guards guarding the city gate only admitted the first half - they indeed respectfully escorted Annan and his party to the street in accordance with the standard of entertaining nobles, but they did not recognize Annan as their lord.

I asked about the internal situation of Roseburg and refused to answer. I even levied entry fees from Annan according to ordinary noble standards.

When Salvatore scolded him, the man was confused but said with certainty, "I've never heard of any lord coming," "No one knows about this," and the like. .

After that, Annan quickly stopped Salvatore who wanted to get angry, paid the money and entered the city with a gentle attitude.

Of course, the gentle attitude of Annan, who was denied his identity... does not conflict with Salvatore's desire to get angry despite seemingly having nothing to do with it.

After all, Kaizi Sa paid the entrance fee.

And Annan could see that that person really didn't know about it.

He should be a target pushed out by the Viscount. Annan would be fooled if he got mad at him.

Deputy Police Commissioner Ferdinand was not surprised when Annan held him to account.

Obviously, he came prepared.

As soon as Annan finished speaking, Police Chief Ferdinand immediately responded: "I am very sorry, Lord. The person guarding the city gate today is a new person..."

For some reason, after hearing what he said, several players around him couldn't help laughing. This made Chief Ferdinand's heart sink.

But he quickly adjusted back and added without changing his expression:

"...The child's father died in the war before, so everyone was too accommodating to him and developed his lazy habits. But sir, I assure you, his heart must be good. ...I definitely didn’t mean to embarrass you. And I also brought all the entry fees you paid. If you want it now, we can pay it back to you right away——"

It's interesting.

Annan raised his eyebrows slightly.

If the uncle came up and threw the blame on the young guard, Annan would have the opportunity to get angry and blame them instead. But Ferdinand played the emotional card when he came up, and also hinted at Viscount Barbour's battlefield background, and the unity, stability and harmony within Roseburg. On the contrary, Annan was left with nowhere to start.

However, if this was Viscount Barbour's plan, then he would not underestimate Annan. ~IndoMTL.com~ At least he treats him as an adult noble who can understand human speech... Judging from his level of pride, this is already a sign of respect for Annan.

So Annan was smart enough not to continue.

He just asked with a half-smile: "I think you are here to put out the fire, right?

"I didn't expect that the Roseburg Public Security Guard's firefighting efficiency was so timely - then go in and put out the fire quickly, it will be bad if the fire spreads."

Annan put his hands behind his back and made a clear and melodious voice.

Seeing Annan so calm, Ferdinand also had a headache.

The person who was promised to be more troublesome was Salvatore...

This little lord is in so much trouble. How shrewd that Salvatore is...should he be called the son of the Black Tower?

Ferdinand thought for a long time, and decided to be on the safe side, not to follow Annan’s rhythm, but to act according to the script he got at the beginning:

"Go in and help put out the fire!"

Deputy Sheriff Ferdinand raised his voice and ordered.

The police officers behind him responded, rushed in... and began to tentatively put out the fire.

Where is the black fire that water can extinguish? But when they come here, they can't do nothing.

Even if you are busy, it is good to be a background board. It's better than following Ferdinand and standing there as a street light...

After the police officers left, the lights near the door dimmed quickly.

In the darkness, the middle-aged deputy police chief leaned into Annan's ear and whispered to him: "Master Viscount, you want me to thank you."

"He said...thanks to you, he was freed from the mind control of that despicable dark wizard."

Ferdinand said without changing his expression.
