"The city lord is here! The city lord is here!" Noah rushed into the mission hall holding the dead tree and yelling. Before he could catch his breath, he saw that the thirteen people except himself were already standing in a neat row.
Noah's mind was slow to react, and he stood there stupidly for a long time without moving. But Trem couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and kicked him in the butt.
"Put down the things in your arms quickly. How are you going to explain to the city lord if you carry all these things with you?" Trem growled.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Noah finally reacted and hurriedly stuffed the things under the counter. He patted the dust and dirt off his body and stood happily at the back of the line.
The moment Noah stood firm, the door of the mission hall was pushed open.
Fourteen people were looking forward to it, their eyes fixed on the person who came in. Balke was even ready to lead everyone in shouting "City Lord", but when he saw the person who walked in against the light, the word "City Lord" was choked in his throat.
Daisy pushed open the door and was startled by the group of stunned men in the room. She patted her chest and whispered, "Really? Their eyes are so wide open, it's scary."
These words happened to be heard clearly by Jiang Jin and Bella who were following closely behind. Jiang Jin found it a little funny. She associated a picture with Daisy's words and couldn't help laughing.
Everyone in the mission hall saw from afar a graceful figure walking in from the backlit gate. Not knowing what she saw or what she thought of, she laughed softly, like a small brush, easily stirring ripples in everyone's hearts.
As Jiang Jin approached, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of light-soled orange boots, followed by a lace hem that was faintly visible under the hem of her skirt.
Jiang Jin was wearing a light golden winter plush long skirt today, paired with a pair of white gloves. Her long black hair was casually tied up with a headband, making her look less fragile and more neat.
Jiang Jin approached from the backlight, and the light from the glazed surface above the mission hall happened to shine on her. Jiang Jin raised her eyes, and her eyes were shining. At that moment, she was like a god in everyone's heart.
At least Balk and the others were stunned by what they saw. An extremely bold and rude idea flashed through Trem's mind. The wife he wanted to marry in the future must be as beautiful as the city lord. If she could be half as beautiful and intelligent as the city lord, it would be worth it.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Jiang Jin was the first to speak with a smile, which immediately caught Balke and others' attention. They all hurriedly greeted Jiang Jin at the same time.
When he saw Bella standing next to Jiang Jin with a basket in her hand, Trem boldly added, "Good afternoon, young master. May the God of Light bless you."
Little Lucas rummaged through the basket and looked outside. He shook his head and gave Triumph a big smile. He liked the man who was talking to him!
The door of the mission hall closed again. This time, Daisy did not follow in. She stood guard by the door loyally, her eyes constantly scanning the fields not far away.
"I'm here this time because I want to ask for your opinions on something." Jiang Jin sat on the soft chair that Balke brought to her. She placed her hands on her knees and sat quietly. When she looked at the fourteen standing young men, she did not feel at a disadvantage at all.
"I accept everything the city lord said!" As soon as Jiang Jin finished speaking, Noah immediately raised his hands and shouted.
In the huge mission hall, only Noah's voice was heard. No one reacted, which made Noah feel awkward. He seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and chuckled twice, which made Jiang Jin laugh again.
"I haven't even told you what it is, and you accepted it so hastily. If I asked you to do something extremely dangerous, would you agree?" Jiang Jin asked him deliberately.
It wasn't a test, it was mainly because Jiang Jin felt that Noah had a talent for comedy.
No matter what he did or said, even just standing there, it made Jiang Jin want to laugh.
When Noah heard this, he scratched his head again in embarrassment and said softly, "Of course I did it. It's just that it would be best if the Lord City Lord didn't let me do anything too dangerous. I'm not very smart."
"You're not stupid at all." Jiang Jin's face was almost frozen with laughter.
Why didn’t she realize earlier that there was such a happy person here!
Jiang Jin laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She said so many words to this guy Noah alone, which immediately made the people around Noah feel a little jealous.
Barton also wanted to gain the Lord City Lord's favor, so he rolled his eyes, instantly found the key point, raised his hand and asked, "Lord City Lord, what does you want us to do? As long as it's your order, no matter if it means mountains of fire or seas of water, I will go for you!"
After all, everyone was nominally a resident of Alicante, but in reality, they were only slaves raised by Jiang Jin outside the City Lord's Mansion. This kind-hearted City Lord even wanted to ask for the opinions of these slaves, which was something Patton had never dared to think about before.
He was indeed willing to give up everything he had for this good city lord who gave him food.
Barton's words made Jiang Jin look at him twice more, causing Barton to subconsciously puff out his proud chest, feeling quite smug.
If there is one, there will be three. The example is already in front of everyone. Suddenly, the mission hall was filled with the sound of loyalty and flattery, making a lot of noise.
In the end, in order to stand out more, everyone shouted to each other, "I will shed blood and sweat for the mayor!"
"The words of the Lord City Lord are the direction for me to move forward!"
"I'll do anything for you! You, the City Lord, are the goddess of light in my heart!"
"Lord City Lord! Lord City Lord! If I can die for you, then it will be a worthy death for me!"
The noise inside the mission hall was exceptionally loud, and even Daisy, who was standing outside, could hear it clearly. Curious, she pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop. "What are they talking about? Why are they so loud? Could it be that the city lord is giving them food again?"
Jiang Jin felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"No wonder other bosses like to hear flattery. It really makes one's heart rate soar and blood flow faster." Jiang Jin thought silently in his heart.
No, no! As a city lord with great ambitions, how can I lose myself in the flattery of others?
We must resolutely stop this kind of flattery!
When Jiang Jin thought of this, her mind slowly calmed down. She clapped her hands, and the crisp applause slowly silenced the voices of the crowd. Finally, the mission hall became quiet, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Jiang Jin.
"Hey, everyone calm down." Jiang Jin stood up gracefully and walked slowly past the fourteen young men, making every man she passed by nervous and stiff. Finally, Jiang Jin stood in the middle of the hall and smiled gently.
"In half a month, I want you to have a fight to the death with the City Lord's Palace Knights."
