Chapter 320 The Merciful City Master
Compared with Anqi City, its floor area is similar. As night fell, the city was quiet, and there seemed to be many people fighting in only two places.
"That's where the biggest house is my home!" Diana happily pointed to a white complex with her slender fingers and shouted happily.
Ling Lan took her to the door of the largest house, and she excitedly pulled Ling Lan into it. This big house is similar to the hall of the church, and the door made of ten-meter-high white jade is full of awesome majesty.
As soon as they entered, a nervous patrol followed shouting.
Ling Lan and the two ran to the brightly lit hall, where six guards stood close to both sides of the wall and stood quietly like statues. A friendly middle-aged man stared at them in surprise and shouted excitedly, "You are the little princess Diana!" Oh, this is true! You are really alive!"
The middle-aged man was very excited with tears in his eyes and came to give Diana a warm hug. When Ling Lan saw this warm scene, she knew that Diana was indeed the daughter of the city owner.
"Buncle Ford, I want to see my father. Take me to see him!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Let's go, your father's hair is much grayer when he misses you. Alas!"
Ling Lan followed them out into a deep corridor, and only their loud footsteps could be heard around the silence. A moment later, they turned a corner and saw a gray-haired old man sitting in the open door.
"Father!" Diana ran in excitedly. As soon as the old man inside reacted, she saw a figure rushing into his arms and hugging him tightly.
When he saw that the man was the daughter he hadn't seen for more than a year, he couldn't help but cry with joy.
Ford closed the door, turned his back silently, and was moved to tears.
After a while, Ford asked about Ling Lan's identity.
Ling Lan told Ford his identity as the bishop, but he lied about where Diana was found. At this time, he thought whether it was irrational to bring Diana back.
"Brother Ling Lan! Come in!"
Ling Lan stood outside for more than ten minutes and saw Diana open the door and asked him to come in. After he walked in, he met the owner of Kuer City, who was very amiable and respected in her portrayal father.
"Oh, young man, thank you for helping me find my daughter. I heard that you saved her and saved millions of people?" The city owner said with great feeling that the clear eyes and kind face were indeed as Diana said, which made people unconsciously feel a sense of trust and respect from their hearts just by looking at a glance.
"Lord, this is what I should do. As a bishop, I should serve the people. Ling Lan emphasized his identity. He didn't know if Diana had told all the things he didn't want to reveal.
"You are lying! You are obviously a very kind demon!" Diana pointed at him with a very serious look.
"Ha ha, the kind devil..." Ling Lan smiled awkwardly, "Have you told the city owner everything about Anqi City?"
"Yes, you have saved so many people, but you are much greater than my father. Why can't you tell him?" Diana complained puzzledly and didn't understand what Ling Lan meant.
The city owner saw that Ling Lan didn't want Diana to reveal this news to him. He has been the city owner for decades and has read countless people. He can see what other people think at a glance.
"Ling Lan, you not only saved my beloved daughter, but also saved millions of suffering people. Although I don't know why you are a bishop of light and magical. However, I deeply admire your merits, hehe.
"This matter cannot be disclosed to people on the mainland, otherwise someone will definitely use it to achieve their purpose. I have always heard that the city lord is a good city lord who loves the people and is considerate of the people, so I hope you must tell this to the third person again. Ling Lan valued Anqi City and millions of people in Lincheng, and asked the city owner with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I know the suffering of the people. Anna said that although the people you saved were demons, they were all good people. No matter what race and animals are, there will be kindness. You are a deeply popular bishop. There is a few people like you in the city of Kur to maintain a church that is about to support. Can you do me this favor? As the city owner spoke, he couldn't help thinking about the things in the city and quickly asked.
"This, of course."
"City lord, there is a large group of people outside who want to see you. Please come out and have a look first!"
Suddenly, Ford's hurried voice came from outside the door. Ling Lan opened the door and saw him blushing and panting and very tired. In the distance, the vague noise became clearer and clearer to Ling Lan's ears.
"Who is it? Do you still want to see me so late?" The city owner wanted to get the crutches against the wall, but the careful Diana grabbed his arm faster and looked at him with a smile on his face.
The city owner suddenly felt warm in his heart and showed a happy and satisfied smile to her. Ford walked at the front, and Ling Lan slowly walked forward with them on the right side of the city owner.
A few minutes later, outside the hall, a group of people with cold swords and blades around their waists held a young man and an elderly woman, shouting loudly to the guards, full of dirty words.
When they saw that the city owner finally came out slowly, they all closed their mouths, as if they had just heard hallucinations.
"Are you?" The city owner was very strange to these strong men full of bandits and inevitably asked doubtfully.
"City lord, I heard that you have always been honest and loving the people and deeply won the hearts of the people. I caught a demon for you today and want to deal with you." The leading strong man held the thin young man with his hands tied, and his voice made everyone hear him clearly.
"Demons? Where did you catch it? The expression on the city owner's face was very nervous and scared. He suddenly took a step back and stared at the young man who lowered his head and said nothing.
Those strong men couldn't help laughing together when they saw that he was so timid.
"Old city owner, it's nothing to catch him alone. I know where their nest is. I told you that you have to give me some benefits. What do you think?"
"I promise you, you say it." Ling Lan was already very suspicious when he heard this. He made a decision on behalf of the city owner and stared at the dozen strong men.
Those people were still very annoyan with Ling Lan, but when the city owner promised to give them 100 gold coins, they told the city owner the nest of the demon clan. The leader spoke loudly. The old nest of the demon clan was at the foot of the mountain at the southern end of the city, and there were at least one or two hundred people.
When Ling Lan and the city owner heard his words, they were suddenly shocked and had their own inner thoughts.
"Dozens of people have disappeared in the city recently. What does this have to do with these two things? Can you tell us who you are?" The city owner asked curiously.
"We are the rangers representing justice. The main reason is that the city is not strong enough. More than a dozen of our brothers are willing to join you to end the nest of the demon clan! By the way, I heard that the missing people in the city have a lot to do with the torch mercenary regiment. The city owner might as well go to investigate, haha... Goodbye!"
After saying that, these dozen strong men left the young men and old men they had captured and left excitedly.
Ling Lan knew that the missing people were the people who had found their relatives in Anqi City, and the reason why they disappeared was that they lived with their relatives at the foot of the southernmost mountain outside the city and never came back. That's why people think they are missing.
"Ouch! Lord of the city! Those people are all beasts! My son is not a demon. He just lives in the eastern continent. It's not easy for us to meet. I didn't expect to be caught by those people as demons. You must not believe what they say! Alas..." When those people left without a trace, the old man suddenly cried loudly and knelt down to kowtow to the city owner.
Ling Lan and the young man quickly helped her up. He injected a faint light power into the old man's body, and then asked, "Are you from Anqi City? How did they find you?"
"You! Aren't you Lord Ling Lan? Great! Seeing you and my mother, we will be fine, woo..." The young man also shed a few tears excitedly.
He told Ling Lan what had happened, and the city owner and Diana were also listening.
The young man's mother heard that York's stores in the city have free services for finding relatives. As long as they can recognize the portraits of the missing people posted in the store, the people in the store will look for them for free.
York's stores are already good, cheap, thoughtful and very popular in the hearts of the city. And it is said that some people really found their relatives through the store, and countless people squeezed their heads to browse portraits in the store.
The young man's mother was one of the people who found her relatives. On that day, she recognized her son's portrait and met her son under the escort of the carriage sent by the store. She saw her son in an uninhabited place on the grassland outside the city, but she didn't know where to kill hundreds of people and killed those who escorted her and those around her son. The dozen strong men holding them are some of them.
Has this been discovered? Ling Lan listened and unconsciously had countless thoughts in her heart, guessing.
"Lord, I hope you can take care of their mother and son first. This matter has something to do with me. I'll deal with it right away. Diana, do you believe that I am a good person? Ling Lan looked at Diana and asked sincerely.
"Of course, if you are a bad person, those people are not as good as pigs and dogs just now, hehe..." Diana couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing when she saw that Ling Lan was so serious.
