Chapter 274 Fraud
Sicily Castle, like all normal castles in other places, is luxurious and noble, and most importantly, it is very clean. Seeing such a castle is a little beautiful and rich Sicilian.
However, look at the NPC guards outside the castle. Although their clothes are cleaner than those on the wall outside, without exception, their faces are full of hippie smiles, and there is no seriousness of the guards.
When they saw Xin Yuntian coming, the guards had a strong sarcasm in their eyes: "Hey, foreigners, we advise you not to mind your own business."
I heard that you just saved Vic? Ha, that little son of a bitch is simply not a thing. He is not a good child.
"You saved the wrong person."
Xin Yuntian listened to their cynicism and did not argue with them, but frowned slightly. Soon, he came to the main hall of the castle. The masters of these city-states are not so much city lords as kings. They can do whatever they want in their castles and have great power. As long as they want, they can be kings at any time. In the hall, in addition to the nobles and officials of the city, a tall, dark-skinned man lay lazily on the throne of the city owner. He glanced at Xin Yuntian and sneered, "Are you a new stranger. Have you just saved a parable?"
Xin Yuntian smiled and said indifferently, "If they are parluts, aren't you a cheap king? Isn't the king of the ungruly king a cheap king?"
Unexpectedly, no one in the hall came out to stop Xin Yuntian. There were only a few chuckles. Only a few guards smiled strangely and said, "Be bold, don't be rude to the lord of the city."
The black man, Diogo, the lord of the city, said angrily, "Human, how dare you offend me? Shut up, you bastards, who dares to laugh again? I will cut you with a knife."
Xin Yuntian patted his forehead and sighed helplessly. What kind of strange person did the old man in this city find? This guy is completely a robber and hooligan. Can such a person become a son-in-law?
He looked at Diogo speechlessly. At this time, he arched his hand and said, "Lord Diogo, I heard that Sicily is a beautiful and rich city-state, but here, I see displaced residents, dirty streets, thieves and robbers all over the street."
"Shut up!" In the slant thorn, an old man with a white hair and a treacherous face rushed out and pointed to Xin Yuntian and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our people in Sicily live and work in peace and contentment. We have a lot of wealth. We live a happy life. There are no thieves and robbers."
"That's right, that's right."
"Don't slander our city lord, a stranger. Under his rule, the city of Sicily has been richer than ever before."
"We all feel extremely happy."
Xin Yuntian blinked his eyes and looked at this group of talkative guys. Is he dazzled by himself, or is this group of old guys dazzled? No, look at what they look like. They are defending their own interests. They weave a beautiful lie in front of the city owner, making everything look so beautiful, but in fact, this Sicilian city has decayed.
He looked at Diogo and thought that this guy was really pitiful. He did not refute the old people and said, "Lord Diogo, have you gone to your territory to see what kind of life your people live?"
Diogo grabbed a handful of grapes and threw them into his mouth, with a tired look on his face: "Of course, of course, of course, I have been there. As my subordinates said, this is a rich city-state, full of flowers everywhere, and there are people living a happy life."
"What the hell." Xin Yuntian said speechlessly, how could what he saw be different from his own?
I only heard Diogo say slowly, "At that time, I had just arrived in this city, probably ten years ago. I like the richness and beauty here, so I stayed..."
Xin Yuntian rolled his eyes, your sister, ten years ago? Listening to Diogo talking to himself, he was speechless. This guy is a fool. He has been blinded by the city's nobles and officials for ten years.
He sighed and said, "Dear... Mr. Diogo, haven't you gone out to inspect once in the past ten years?"
"Why do you want to go out for inspection?" Diogo tilted his head and said, "My subordinates told me that everything is very good. My people live a happy life. They helped me deal with all my business. I just... I just want..." Diogo's face turned red, and he laughed, "I don't have to do anything. My subordinates will Be responsible for everything for me."
"It's our honor, Lord." This group of shameless officials and nobles bent down to Diogo.
Xin Yuntian sighed helplessly and said, "Didn't you think that your subordinates would lie to you? Well, in fact, they have collected a lot of wealth in your name..."
"Shut up, stranger, you must be a spy sent by the enemy. Aha, I know. You are the robbers sent to sow discord in Twilight Ridge. Come on, arrest them.
A group of guards rushed out of other places fiercely and grabbed Xin Yuntian.
Xin Yuntian frowned and resisted, or did he not resist?
He looked up at Diogo, who was a little confused. He sighed slightly in his heart and shouted harshly, "Lord Diogo, go to your city and see what kind of life your people live!"
"I..." Diogo hesitated for a moment and did not immediately agree to Xin Yuntian.
The guards had already caught Xin Yuntian. The next moment, his eyes became blurred, and then it became clear again. There was no city owner, nobles, palaces, only a tattered cell in front of him.
He meows, the speed of catching people is a little fast.
Xin Yuntian was depressed for a moment and saw a figure sneaking in from the outside. It was Vic. As soon as he saw Xin Yuntian, he shouted, "Muchen, you are not dead yet."
"Of course I'm not dead!" Xin Yuntian wondered, how could this guy curse himself to die as soon as he met?
Vic laughed and said, "It's been three days. I thought you were starving to death."
Three days?
Xin Yuntian was stunned and immediately summoned the system prompt to have a look. There was a faint line of small words on it: Three days later...
Your sister, three days have passed so quickly.
Xin Yuntian muttered secretly, but he did not panic. This so-called three days is actually just set by the system. For him, it was only one day.
On this side, Vic has taken out a key from his pocket and said, "I'll let you out now, and then you can get out of here."
"No." Xin Yuntian said and frowned slightly, "I have seen Diogo. He is not a cruel city owner as you said. According to what he said, he was just blinded. His officials and nobles plundered property in his name, and Diogo thought the city was the same as ten years ago.
Vic was stunned and suddenly shouted, "No, it's impossible. How can those officials deceive people by doing this?"
Xin Yuntian said, "Do you know that Diogo has been in the city in the past ten years?"
Vic frowned and said, "This... I really haven't seen Diogo. At least I haven't seen him in the past few years. Before, I was young at that time, so I didn't know."
Xin Yuntian nodded and said, "That's right. Those officials and nobles weave a beautiful picture for Diogo, which makes him think that the city of Sicily is the same as ten years ago. In fact, the real city of Sicily is completely different. Now, we're going to let Diogo come out of his castle and go to the street to see what the city has become.
"What should we do?" Vic asked.
Xin Yuntian hesitated and let an NPC come out of the castle, either to persuade him to let him come out by himself or violent coercion. However, from what I have seen before, this Diogo is a guy with an unknown level, that is to say, he is a lord-level boss.
He thought for a moment and said, "I can't convince him alone. We must find more people to enter the castle together."
Vic frowned and said, "But the guards outside the castle won't let us in."
"So we need a lot of people. If they don't let us in, we will kill them."
"Ah?" Vic was dumbfounded. He looked at Xin Yuntian in a daze, "Kill, kill in? Do you want to kill Diogo?"
"Of course not. We just need to let Diogo see that the city is no longer what he imagined. Those nobles and officials have corrupted, and he will order the city to return to its original order."
Vick thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Muchen, I hope what you said will succeed. You go to meet someone with me."
"Ah?" Now it's Xin Yuntian's turn to be surprised. Go to meet someone? The teenager Vic in front of him no longer looks like an ordinary teenager in his teens. He has become a little extraordinary.
Vic smiled shyly and said, "Actually, it's like this. Because of Diogo's oppression of us, many people in the city can't stay. They became robbers in the Twilight Ridge area, specializing in robbing rich businessmen in the past. However, the city of Sicily is our hometown after all, and they still hope to return to their hometown one day. Therefore, they have been planning to kill Diogo and bring our city back to peace, but since you say that Diogo is innocent and the real culprit is those officials and nobles, you can go to their leader with me and tell him the truth.
