"Okay, Your Excellency."
"Yeah, okay."
The man on the seat carefully looked at his polished shoes, which were as good as new. He nodded with satisfaction, then took out a few copper coins and put them in the hands of the shoe shiner.
The latter smiled happily and thanked him profusely.
Seeing an empty seat, the man in black who was queuing planned to sit on it.
But at this moment, a well-dressed businessman walked up quickly from the side.
He pushed the man in black aside and sat on him unceremoniously.
The man in black stared at the businessman with an angry face.
"What are you looking at? I'm different from a country bumpkin like you. I have to go to the city hall for a meeting soon. Can you afford it if it delays my work?"
The people queuing up behind the man in black instinctively ducked aside.
Even the shoe shiner was stunned and at a loss.
The man in black looked at the businessman and then at the shoe shiner.
I finally endured it.
But just as he turned to leave, he heard another sarcastic words coming from behind:
"The clay legs are just the clay legs. They have no eyesight at all."
The man in black had veins popping out on his forehead.
But before he could get angry, a young demon hunter with two swords on his back walked out from the crowd.
He threw the arrogant businessman to the ground in one fell swoop.
"Get off here!"
Amidst the roars of laughter from the crowd of onlookers, the businessman was beaten to the ground.
The businessman looked down at the mud on his clothes, and the expression on his face instantly turned into anger.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me? Believe it or not, I will call Ducal Guard and arrest you?"
"Guards! Guards! Come here! Over here!"
The merchant rushed not far away, and the patrolling guards carrying halberds shouted and shouted.
The two guards looked at each other and walked over.
At this time, a kind person in the crowd hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"Young man, please leave quickly. If you wait for Ducal Guard to come over, you will be in trouble."
In the eyes of the onlookers, on one side was a well-dressed businessman who claimed to be going to the city hall for a meeting and at the same time took the initiative to call the guards;
On the other side are young people who are struggling to survive at the bottom by selling their swordsmanship...
Although Toussaint is often hailed as Land of a Thousand Fables, reality is reality after all, and there is no real Land of a Thousand Fables in reality.
In addition, it was indeed the young man who made the first move, so he was being unreasonable after all.
As a result, the businessman heard what he said. Before Lynn could say anything, the businessman jumped up and blocked Lynn's way.
"You are not allowed to leave! Do you want to run away now? Are you scared? I tell you, it's too late!"
Lynn crossed his arms and looked at the businessman jumping up and down with a calm expression.
"Who said I was leaving?"
The two guards finally came in front of everyone. "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
The businessman told what had just happened, adding exaggeration, confusing right and wrong, and making a complete mistake.
"Anyway, catch him quickly!"
The next moment.
The proud expression on the businessman's face froze.
Not only him, but the crowd of onlookers were also stunned as the two guards carrying halberds bowed respectfully towards the young man they thought was in trouble.
"Master Lynn."
Crowd commotion.
"Master Lynn? Wait, is the demon hunter who brought back Holy Grail for Her Highness the Duchess also called Lynn?"
"So young?"
"What a handsome man."
"I heard that the witcher plows the ground more powerfully and lasts longer. I really want to try it if I have the chance."
Lynn also bowed in return.
"I'm sorry to bother you with this little thing, but since you're here, I'd like you to comment on it."
"It was supposed to be the turn of the gentleman in black to clean his shoes, but this unreasonable businessman decided to cut in line. He didn't care about cutting in line, but he still insisted on ridiculing others."
"I simply can't believe that something like this could happen to Beauclair, where the glorious Duchess lives. Is this still the hometown of knights who admire Five Chivalric Virtues?"
Lynn's words made everyone present couldn't help but lower their heads in shame.
I think back then, the first Duke "Lance Duke" Ludovic established Toussaint, and he made the decision Five Chivalric Virtues that future generations should abide by.
Although Ludovic himself doesn't have much chivalry.
All along, this Five Chivalric Virtues is the same as the famous Toussaint fine wine Est Est, which is a national treasure of Toussaint.
However, I don't know when people stopped obeying Five Chivalric Virtues and turned to worshiping money and authority.
Even knights errant regard the oath of knighthood as a means of promotion and promotion, rather than just a virtue.
The businessman suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Especially when the guards looked at him with unkind eyes, his legs and feet immediately began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I... my Lords, no... I was in a hurry to go to the city hall for a meeting... I didn't mean to..."
I don't know why, but this tongue that can usually bring the dead back to life is now incoherent and stammering.
"Let's meet in the city hall. I don't care what important matters you have. Don't worry. Come on and come with us to the prison to relearn the virtues of Toussaint."
The businessman was dragged away by two guards like a dead dog.
"Please take a seat, Your Excellency, it's your turn."
Lynn made a gesture to invite you to take a seat.
The man in black looked at Lynn deeply.
After hesitating for a moment, he still sat on it.
Wait until his shoes are polished clean by the shoe shiner.
The people in line at the back asked Lynn to wipe first.
Since everyone is so polite, Lynn is not polite either.
In fact, his shoes are not dirty, but since he has come...
When Lynn walked out of the alley, he saw a man in black with his back leaning against the wall and his arms folded across his chest.
"Why are you helping me?"
The tone of the man in black was filled with gratitude and a hint of vigilance.
"Do you need a reason to help others? Besides, I'm not helping you. I just can't stand those beasts who like to bully others."
"However, if you insist on expressing your gratitude, I will be happy to accept it."
The man in black turned around, leaving his back to the demon hunter.
"Come with me, I have a shop in the city, we can come to my shop to talk."
The shop of the man in black is not far from the shoe shine alley.
It didn't take much time to walk there.
It was a house with red paint on the exterior, and the wooden signboard was carved into a pony stepping on a seesaw.
Lynn followed the man in black and walked in.
The room itself is not that big, but there are many cabinets placed there.
There are various toys on it.
Stepping on the creaking wooden stairs, the two arrived at the attic.
It's even smaller and gloomier here.
There is a window in the attic, but the light that shines in is not enough to illuminate the entire attic.
There are also some candles placed in the corner of the attic.
