Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 116
The two families of White River Town were holding their weddings at the same time because Anna's sister and brother-in-law had brought news from Neil City five or six days ago. It was said that the only son of Neil City's city lord had reached the age of marriage and was going to hold a beauty contest to find a wife. Not only were the ladies of Neil City on the shortlist, but the unmarried young ladies of the surrounding towns were also going to participate.
Neil City's city lord's actions had been rather absurd in recent years. He came from the Norby Family, one of the top families in the Empire, and had high attainments in business.
He had made Neil City extremely wealthy, and the city's reserves were extremely abundant. However, the gap between the rich and the poor was also very large. At the very least, it was one of the poorer cities in the Golden Banner.
Of course, compared to the smaller cities in the outskirts, Neil City was much better.
Compared to the Golden Fruit Village that Xu Jun had visited before, White River Town was even richer. Thus, although the people here had some complaints, they weren't dissatisfied with the current situation.
Most people felt that it was fine as long as they could survive.
For example, this time, the city lord's son was just going to get married, and he was going to hold a 'beauty contest' with great fanfare … Let's not talk about the authenticity of this matter. On the surface, this world worshipped monogamy, and those in power wouldn't have a bunch of concubines. At most, they would frequently have affairs with those who could help them.
If the city lord of Neil City, who came from the Norby Family, wanted to pick a commoner as a wife for his son, he was probably crazy.
Thus, from Xu Jun's point of view, the people of Neil City could have banded together to spread the news.
A city lord wasn't an emperor, and yet he was actually doing such a thing in the country. His ambition was obvious. Once the higher-ups knew about this, they would definitely investigate the city lord and even the Norby Family. At that time, everything would be easy to deal with.
As long as the Norby Family's intelligence was still online, they wouldn't want to take the blame themselves. They would probably find someone to take the blame for some organization. What city lord didn't know about this? The city lord was innocent, and it was his subordinates who used his name to do bad things. Everyone would be happy.
However, that was what he thought. These commoners … didn't think so. _ (: 3/∠) _
This world was different from Xu Jun's original world.
There was very little education for commoners, not to mention nine years of compulsory education, five years of college entrance exams, and three years of mock exams. Most commoners had a very simple understanding of the world. Those who had a little bit of knowledge were merchants, low-level and mid-level combat jobs, but they also had their own social class and were not on the same side as commoners.
To put it simply, fighters had their own associations, castles, mage towers, mercenary guilds, adventurers guilds, and even assassin guilds. All of these had a certain degree of unity.
Merchants had their own associations, but commoners … they had nothing.
They had a power that they could not grasp, and it was difficult for a hero to appear among them to lead everyone.
Therefore, it was really difficult for the commoners in this world to make a name for themselves.
It was said that there was a city in the north where a particularly violent city lord appeared 300 years ago. That city lord had a paranoid and perverted pursuit of art.
He ordered his guards to kill virgins and extract their blood to draw. This matter caused great indignation and resentment. In the end, a young adventurer whose fiancée had been harmed assassinated the city lord, bringing light to their city.
What about the others?
What about the parents and siblings whose daughters had been tragically killed?
They were like a flock of lambs. They knew that the world was unfair and that evil people were bullying them, but other than crying out a few times, they could not do anything.
The only unmarried girls in White River Town who had reached the age of sixteen were Anna and Jess. They had already been engaged before, but they hadn't decided on an official wedding date. Now that something like this had happened in Neil City … … it had instead promoted their marriages. _ (: 3/∠) _
Xu Jun felt very tired, especially when he entered the town and was surrounded by many young ladies, young men, and old men. He felt that his balls were so f * cking easy to touch.
"Garr, are you married?"
Xu Jun bought a low-quality cigarette wrapped in grass from the town's department store. He lit it up but did not smoke. Instead, he held it between his fingers and acted pretentious. He and Master Sergeant Garr sat together on the ridge of the field. The two looked at the jubilant crowd of White River Town and could not help but feel melancholy.
… What was even more melancholy was that the other young knights had no professional ethics at all. They did not have the awareness that "the Illuminati advocates abstinence, as believers, we must respond to the call". This group of little bastards actually went to the tavern to drink.
The wedding was tomorrow, but the people here were more forthright. They would drink for a few days before and after the wedding. Xu Jun felt that this was just an excuse for the uncles and aunties to drink.
At first, the uncles and aunties did invite them, but they didn't dare to invite those sanctimonious little Holy Knights. But in the end, Xu Jun, being a single dog, didn't go because of his complicated feelings. On the other hand, the Holy Knights all went.
… Not only that, it seemed that even the Silver-ranked knights under the Seventh Elder could not hold back and joined in.
The Seventh Elder, Lykin Zhu Ke, was probably the one whose heart was broken the most.
Master Sergeant Garr was affected by the environment. He could not help but remember that before he became a Knight Commander, he had a wife who came from a second-rate family.
Later, because he had not been promoted for a long time, his wife did not like him and the two of them divorced.
"Marriage and love are completely different," Master Sergeant Garr's expression at this moment was similar to any man with low EQ in the world. "We met in the church. She was also a believer and wanted to become a nun. At that time, I was only a Silver-ranked knight. I was not very smart and did not know how to find connections. At that time, she did not dislike me."
After saying that, he could only laugh bitterly.
Xu Jun also sympathized with him. Although he had been a single dog since young and had never had a girlfriend, sometimes … it was better to be single than to have a partner who broke up because of various reasons.
At least for the former, he had gotten used to it after a long time.
"But when the God of Light closes a door, he will open a window," Knight Commander Gale said, "But when the God of Light closes a door, a window opens.
Three years later, I was injured in the Orc battlefield in the North. I met a local female medical officer. She was mainly responsible for taking care of me. After that, we developed a deep relationship … "
"Two years ago, I proposed to her. Now, she is studying at a medical school in the Sacred City. She should graduate next year."
Xu Jun was speechless.
He looked at Knight Commander Gale, who was about to show the happy expression of Little Flower, and suddenly felt that he was a big idiot, a big idiot, a big idiot!
— Does he need your sympathy?
I've been in two relationships before!
He is an experienced driver!!!
The frustrated hero clicked his tongue, put out the cigarette, and turned to leave. Master Sergeant Garr did not understand and waved behind him. "Don't go!
Let's call Bottle of Wine and continue talking! "
Xu Jun did not even turn his head. "I don't want to talk anymore!
You're cheating on my feelings! "
He walked to a secluded place in the village and raised his head to look in the direction of the bone bird. In his heart, he thought that the only person in the world who was more miserable than him was Prince Leon.
He had only been single for more than 20 years. Prince Leon, who was handsome and elegant, should have been a winner in life from the moment he was born. However, he had been single for 40 to 50 years!
For the first twenty years, he had been running around for the Radiant God Cult and had no time to fall in love. But after his real identity was exposed, he was beaten from a white lotus to a mafia boss. The contrast was so big that no human girl would like him.
After that, when he ascended the throne of the Demon King again, he would be pacing back and forth between revenge and tidying up his subordinates. How would he have the time to date?
With this awareness and quality, he was much better than the top student in the high school where Xu Jun had forbidden puppy love in his previous life.
But on second thought … Leon had not been in a relationship after his rebirth. Perhaps he had rich experience in relationships tens of thousands of years ago?
Instantly, he felt even more stifled.
At the same time, Luoxienke also saw Xu Jun's bitter expression through the crystal ball. In the beginning, he still felt happy. He thought to himself, Brat, none of the girls in White River Town that you talked so much about like you now.
But then he frowned. Xu Jun was actually so sad because of the marriage of the two girls in White River Town?
So how deep were their feelings from before?
Fortunately, things could not be undone …
If it were not for the distance and identity, Roschinke would have asked the Lord Of The Deep to give the two girls some monetary gifts.
Thank you very much!
The wedding was welcomed with laughter and joy. The next day, the two couples changed into formal attire and walked through the door made of flower garlands.
The villagers, Illuminati Knights and Xu Jun's party were also very happy. Rance was arranged to be the flower boy because of his good looks. Although he was a little older, he was still very handsome. It was good for him to appear in this kind of occasion.
There were also young villagers who cried. Anna and Jess were goddesses in White River Town, but they were married to other men just like that.
The wails of the bachelors shook the heavens and earth.
Xu Jun couldn't be bothered to go to the tavern to drink alone wine with these guys. He only asked for another cigarette, but he didn't smoke it. He just put it between his fingers and lit it up. He gave up on himself and thought that maybe this was the end. Maybe he wouldn't be able to find a partner in this lifetime.
— Roshyank The Devil suddenly sneezed.
The little Holy Knight who went to Neil City to scout for information rushed back the next night. Under the unconcealable horror of the Seventh Elder and his Guardian Knight, he reported to Master Sergeant Garr what he had seen and heard. "There are rumors in Neil City about the mayor's son participating in a beauty pageant. Following the rumors, we can find out that this rumor is related to a small Dark Shadow Cult base in the city."
Master Sergeant Garr: "What is the mayor's attitude?"
The little Holy Knight: "The mayor is old. His control over Neil City is not as strict as it was a few years ago. Perhaps he is not clear."
Although these words were tactful, the main point was clear.
To say that the mayor of Neil City was old and could not even deal with a small Dark Shadow Cult base was bullshit. Even the most evil demon would blush if he said such a lie.
The mayor of Neil City was only forty-five years old this year. Last year, he was evaluated in the Empire Debriefing Meeting as being "strict, thrifty and capable."
"That Dark Shadow Cult only preaches the teachings of the Dark Shadow Cult?
Do they have any other activities? "Master Sergeant Garr asked.
The little Holy Knight's eyes were filled with admiration, thinking that he was indeed the boss. "It is said that human trafficking and the opening of casinos in the city … are also related to them. But I did not find any direct evidence."
No evidence, but there were 'rumors'.
Master Sergeant Garr knew his subordinates very well. These children were all brought up by him. There were no problems with their morals, and they would definitely not talk nonsense for the sake of glory.
Since there was such a rumor, then there was a sixty percent chance that it was true.
The Dark Shadow Cult did not focus on spreading their cult. Instead, they engaged in dirty business, which generated profits.
If this Dark Shadow Cult leader was a little smarter, he would know that he needed a backer.
In Neil City, who else would be more suited to be a backer than the city lord?
Especially human trafficking. Combined with the rumors of the mayor's son participating in a beauty pageant, it was impossible not to think about it.
"Lord Seventh Elder, you passed by Neil City on your way from the Holy City to Mundama City, right?
Did you notice anything strange at that time? "Master Sergeant Garr asked casually.
The Seventh Elder's mouth was dry. He … couldn't speak anymore.
With his acting skills and mental fortitude, wouldn't it be better not to do bad things and just be a salted fish?
— Xu Jun had watched the whole process. He was speechless.
In the end, they only attended the wedding in White River Town. On the morning of the third day, they set off for the Holy City.
Neil City was only a five-day journey from the Holy City.
Master Sergeant Garr led his men into Neil City in a very low-key manner. After that, he took care of the Dark Shadow Cult's lair in a very low-key manner. The 'higher-ups' inside were escorted to the Holy City. The other small fries were not touched. Firstly, it was because they could not make a splash. Secondly, it was because he could still use the small fries to catch the big fish.
The Illuminati was about to welcome a big change of personnel.
None of this had anything to do with Xu Jun. After entering the Holy City of Randal, he learned that his deeds in Mundama City had somehow been publicized to everyone. In order to commend his heroic deeds, the Church of Light was going to award him with an "Honorary Golden Knight" medal, and the Empire of Golden Flag was going to reward him with a small villa in the center of Randal.
Therefore, after working hard for so many years without settling down, Xu Jun somehow … got a house in the capital's second ring?
What the f * ck?!
He met Deinister that day. The Holy Son was the same as before. He was dignified, steady, and generous in public. When he was alone with Xu Jun, he was like a child.
"QAQ Xu Jun, don't worry. I won't let you be tied down in Randal like this …" Deinister was sobbing.
Xu Jun was surprised. "Wait … Why are you crying?
Am I not wronged?
This is a house in the Holy City's second ring!
Do you think I should invest in real estate in the future? Hahahahaha! "
After a while, Deinister became even sadder.
Ah, in order to not make him sad, Xu Jun even said something like, "Is it better for me to invest in real estate or just invest in real estate?"
Why is this?!
This is a forced smile!
Boss Xu Jun is such a brave and upright person, yet he was forced to say something like this!
The Illuminati has let him down!
Xu Jun thought of some economic knowledge he learned in high school politics class in his previous life. There were many people who saw an opportunity, but few people who grasped it.
He knew that in his original world, there was a real estate boom a long time ago!
Even the broken-down place in their orphanage once had a high price of ten thousand yuan per square meter!
My house is now within the Holy City of Randal's second ring!
Within the second ring!
It's only three thousand meters from the palace and two thousand meters from the Radiant Church!
My life!
It's worth it!!!
The author has something to say: Yay!
Today's update volume is also 4000!
Junjun the Brave has arrived in the Holy City!
Xixi the Demon King is also coming!
It's either the end of this month or the beginning of next month!
The two of them are going to meet!
Everyone read with me: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder!!!"
Africa's Clear Bright Fearless chapter is almost finished.
Tomorrow will be the last chapter.
What should I put next? _ (: 3,∠) _
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
