Old Tu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Lord City Lord, was it really Brook who attacked us?"
Jiang Jin was stunned. She didn't expect Old Tu to ask this question.
In fact, when you really think about it, Jiang Jin didn't have any definite evidence. It was just that Brook was hiding behind a pillar furtively, holding something in his arms, looking at the small compartment with a cold expression. His appearance was too terrifying. No one would believe anyone who said that this matter had nothing to do with Brook, right?
Jiang Jin didn't reply for a long time, and Old Tu had a clue in his mind. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't say anything.
"By the way, Lawson, do you know Brooke?" Jiang Jin suddenly remembered what she had read in the Alicante city yearbook. Although the records in it were not very detailed, Jiang Jin still had an old man who was old enough and had enough experience!
Maybe we can find out something about Brooke from Old Tu's mouth.
Sure enough, after hearing what Jiang Jin said, a look of reminiscence appeared on Old Tu's face. He looked at the back of his hand, which was as dry as bark, and sighed softly, "He wasn't like this before."
Jiang Jin suddenly became interested, so that afternoon, she listened to a long story from Old Tu.
It was about Brook who had just arrived in Alicante. No one remembered his original name. The old man only remembered that it was a beautiful spring day. Brook was not so majestic at that time. He was wearing tattered clothes, his body was covered with wounds, and his body looked like a wild boar that had rolled in the mud.
He stood and wandered at the city gate pitifully, his lips were cracked and bleeding, but he kept licking them.
Old Tu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he brought him a bowl of water. Brooke thanked him repeatedly with a humble attitude. When returning the bowl, he whispered to Old Tu, "May God bless you, kind old man."
"He also asked me a lot of questions about Alicante. I thought he was a slave who was driven out from another city. I thought it would be difficult for him to live alone out there, so I recommended him to Alicante."
Old Tu recalled what Brooke looked like back then, and his expression was quite sad.
"Lawson, how do you know he was a slave driven out from another city?" Jiang Jin asked curiously.
If possible, Jiang Jin wanted to follow the clues to find the place where Brooke used to live and investigate his background clearly.
"That was all a long time ago. Let me think about it, let me think about it." Old Tu touched his gray hair, frowning and thinking for a long time.
After a long while, he clapped his hands suddenly, as if he remembered something, "I remember now, it was because he asked me about the restrictions."
A restriction order means that whenever the city lord expels slaves or civilians in the surrounding towns, he will send a restriction order to each town, stating the information of the person he expelled and the reason for the expulsion, and can request that the town that is on good terms with the city lord refuse to accept this person.
What this means is that this person cannot be active in the surrounding area at all and can only leave his hometown and go to other places in order to survive.
This was the case with Tracy's father. He disappeared for several years and never came back. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
When Brook asked about restrictions, Old Tu knew that this person must have been expelled from another town, so Old Tu tried to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, our Alicante is remote, there aren't any good towns, and there's no such thing as restrictions."
After saying this, Brook followed the old man to the gate of Alicante.
He didn't bother Old Tu too much and left after thanking him. Old Tu had no idea where he went afterwards, but when he accidentally saw Brook with the city lord at that time, he realized that Brook had done so well since he fled.
But at that time, Old Tu was really happy for Brook, so he suppressed his miserable appearance when he first entered the city and never told anyone. No one knew that this famous knight of Alicante was actually a slave driven out from another town.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Jin nodded in understanding and asked Old Tu, "Are there any good towns near Alicante?"
"This..." Old Tu didn't know what to say. He looked carefully at Jiang Jin, who was asking seriously, and coughed before replying, "There's only one town within a few hundred miles of us, and that's Aberdovey."
"Generally speaking, the only friendly relations between towns are between their city lords. Our city of Alicante has been declining and has not had any contact with them, so there is no friendly relationship."
Old Tu stubbornly told Jiang Jin the truth, meaning that you have no personal relationship with other city lords, so there are no good towns nearby.
Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow. Even after becoming the city lord, she still couldn't escape the word "囌噷". She sighed and said to Old Tu, "After spring comes to Alicante, I should also pay a visit to the neighboring city of Aberdovi."
The two chatted about some other things, mostly Jiang Jin asking about the two former city lords of Alicante. When she had almost finished asking, and seeing that Old Tu looked drowsy, Jiang Jin got up and left.
The little guy in the study is still asleep. He sleeps when he's full and eats when he's full. I don't know who he looks like.
Jiang Jin sat beside Lucas and suddenly wanted to tease her. She reached out and pinched little Lucas's nose and whispered to her, "Little one, it's time to get up."
If you sleep like this in the afternoon, you might not be able to sleep at night. Otherwise, it will be Jiang Jin who will suffer.
Lucas couldn't breathe through his nose, so he opened his little mouth and used his chubby little hands to hit Jiang Jin's fingers, but he missed and instead slapped himself in the face, which made Jiang Jin laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
At that moment, Lucas suddenly opened his eyes, and his round and chubby body suddenly released a terrifying pressure. The smile on Jiang Jin's face suddenly froze, and her body also stopped in the previous action. Although her body could not move, her eyes saw Lucas's changes clearly.
Those golden eyes, which were usually moist and glistening, seemed to have become someone else's eyes at that moment. With a solemn and cold feeling, they looked Jiang Jin up and down, revealing some doubts in their eyes.
After a moment, the terrifying feeling receded like a tide. Lucas stood up shakily, stretched out his hand, and gave Jiang Jin a sweet smile. Then he shouted, "Hold me~"
