I really can't control myself

It was obvious that there was a sudden fight. Linton looked to his right. The person who had been knocked onto his desk was a young man, probably about the same age as him. He was still struggling on the ground. On the other side, Linton saw a dozen people dressed as mercenaries wearing various armors. Their faces did not look like good people.

"Oh? Hodra? Are you here too?" At this time, one of the dozen or so people across from him, who seemed to be the leader, suddenly recognized Hodra. This was a one-eyed orc with only a tuft of hair on his head. Although he was an orc, But his tone of voice sounded arrogant and unflattering.

"Know?" Linton asked.

"We know each other, maybe." Hodra said, "I met him when I took on a job before."

"Hey, we can be considered friends." The one-eyed dragon here said, and after speaking, he looked at Linton, "Oh? A nobleman, is your employer?"

"You said before that you do all the work in the city, right?" Linton said suddenly, "His voice is so disgusting. I don't want to hear it anymore. I'll kill him."

"Boy, are you looking for death?" Hearing Linton's words, the one-eyed dragon here became furious, "Do you know who I am?"

"Is your IQ so low that you don't even know who you are?" Linton spread his hands, "Why don't you ask your dad?"

"Pfft..." A younger brother behind the one-eyed dragon couldn't help but laugh out loud. Of course, it was his boss who was being humiliated after all, so he quickly covered his mouth.

"You TN..." The other person cursed directly and pulled out his sword, slashing towards Linton. The movement was so slow that Linton didn't even bother to pay attention. However, at this moment, a figure next to him took a step to the left and stood directly in front of Linton. With a "ding" sound, the two swords collided directly. The person who stopped him was naturally Hodra.

"Hodra, do you dare to stop me?" the one-eyed dragon here roared angrily, "Don't you want to hang out here anymore?"

"After collecting the money, I have to do something." Hodra looked quite relaxed. It seemed that the one-eyed dragon did not pose any threat to Hodra. "Give me some face and take the people away."

"I want to give you face?" the one-eyed dragon roared, "What are you? Do you really think that the name of Brother Epee is useful? Do you think you can be ranked high in this city?"

"Oh, what kind of nickname do you have for the heavy sword brother?" Linton looked at Hodra and Sion, and it was true that both brothers were carrying two-handed swords that looked very heavy.

Hodra didn't answer, and of course he had no intention of retreating. The younger brother Sion next to him was staring at the dozen or so younger brothers behind him, but these younger brothers didn't seem to have any intention of coming up for the time being.

Seeing that Hodra didn't answer, the one-eyed dragon here said directly to Linton: "Kid, do you think your noble status is useful in this city? You don't really think that no one would dare to touch the nobles in this city, do you? , this is not the realm of the human race, tomorrow morning you will appear on the street corner of the city with your stomach broken, do you believe it?"

"Why don't you kill him?" Linton ignored the one-eyed dragon here and said to Hodra, because he saw that Hodra was much stronger than the one-eyed dragon in front of him. If he wanted to take action, he would probably kill the one-eyed dragon in front of him. The one-eyed dragon was already dead, but he only blocked the opponent's sword and did not take the initiative to fight back.

"Cut him and you'll get into trouble," Hodra said simply.

Of course Linton understood. It was obvious that there was someone behind the one-eyed dragon. Linton looked at Sion next to him and asked, "What about you, do you dare to chop him?"

"I...I listen to my brother." Sean here is obviously a bit naive and rarely spoke before. He just smiled and listened while Linton and Hodra chatted without interrupting.

"What about you?" Linton suddenly turned his head and looked at the young man on the ground. Yes, he was the one who had just been knocked over.

"I dare." As expected, young people are more energetic. The young man here stood up and said.

"Then let's do it." Linton made a gesture of invitation. This young man was not polite. He picked up the sword on the ground next to him and rushed directly towards the one-eyed dragon. Not to mention that this movement seemed to have been practiced, but it was actually pretty good.

Facing the young man who suddenly rushed up, the one-eyed dragon on the opposite side was a little panicked. He immediately stepped back and distanced himself from Hodra, and then shouted in a panic toward the back: "Give me..."

"Pfft", before he finished shouting, a sword was thrust into his throat. The young man who rushed forward seemed to have used some kind of sword skill. When he closed the distance, he suddenly increased his speed. Of course, Linton also felt that the guy opposite was really not very smart. He still had time to greet the people behind him during the duel. Don’t you want to die?

With a "plop", the one-eyed dragon fell to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground. At this time, the younger brothers at the back panicked when they saw that the boss was dead, but the onlookers just screamed in surprise and did not see any intention of killing people and running away. Obviously, this situation is not something special here. .

"Alas..." Hodra sighed directly and looked at Linton. It was obvious that this matter could not be settled casually. Turning his head, Hodra said to his brother: "Kill them. Before they can react, we can find an opportunity to run away."

"No, call someone, let them call." Linton waved his hand and said, "You can get out, I will wait here and call the people behind you."

Naturally, these dozen young men ran away immediately. Linton and the others didn't know each other, but the Epee Brothers and the others still knew each other. They were also relatively well-known mercenaries in the city. They couldn't beat them, so they quickly went back to call for help. .

"This..." Hodra was speechless, but she still didn't catch up after all.

"Why did these people chop you?" Linton turned to the boy next to him and asked.

"I don't know." The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know them at all."

"I know that." Hodra said next to him, "Your name is Matthew, right."

"It's me." The boy replied.

"Your name is quite popular in the city recently." Hodra said simply.

"I understand." Hearing this, Linton already understood, "So some people are worried that after a while, the saint-level disciples will come and take a fancy to this young man who has been very popular recently, and hire a bunch of guys to destroy him, right? "

"That's probably what I mean." Hodra nodded, "These people often do these dirty things."

"What?" The young man named Matthew was stunned for a moment, and then angrily said, "Damn it! Despicable guy!"

"With your situation, a saint-level disciple has humbled you like this." Linton spread his hands and said.

"What should we do now?" Hodra said to Linton, "Are you really waiting here?"

"If you are afraid of death, you can leave." Linton waved his hand.

Next to him, Sion looked at his brother nervously, while Hodra thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "I have already collected your money, and I will not leave. Sure enough, these three gold coins are really worth it." It’s not easy to make money.”

"You are quite ethical," Linton said.

"This is the code of mercenaries." Hodra said, "With so many people watching, if I leave, I won't be able to take on jobs in the future."

"What about you?" Linton looked at Matthew, "Although you caused this incident, I am the one who provokes them now. If you don't want to be affected, you can leave first."

"I'll stay." Matthew here said directly without much thought, "This happened because of me, and I will never leave at this time."

"Oh? Your state of mind is really suitable for sword practice." Linton said, "These two foresighted uncles here are obviously not good at it."

"Hey..." Hodra held up his forehead, "What are you going to do? First, let me tell you, one thing he said is true. Your noble status is really of no use here. This is not any place. The king’s domain.”

This city does not belong to the jurisdiction of any country. In such a dangerous place, the kingdom feels uncomfortable and insists on occupying it. Besides, the Holy Association said it will protect this place. Do you dare to rob it? Everyone in the mainland agrees that this place is a free zone, and naturally aristocrat status is of no use.

Linton ignored the anxious Hodra and said directly to Matthew next to him: "Come on, I'll give you a chance to become my disciple."

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned.

"Forgive me for refusing." After being stunned for a while, Matthew here said, "I came here to become a saint-level teacher, and I cannot be your disciple."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Linton smiled, "Although I have good energy, but my vision is a little too bad? It's rare for me to be in a good mood to accept a disciple. You refuse?"

"Are you a saint?" Matthew asked. After he asked Hodra, who was standing next to him, he shook his head and thought Matthew was a bit stupid. Do you think Linton might be a saint? Apart from anything else, at this age, have you ever seen a twenty-year-old saint? So it's a bit funny for you to ask this question, but Matthew asked it quite seriously, not in a joking tone.

"Saint level is nothing, my disciples are all saint level." Linton told the truth, there is indeed a saint level disciple, begging him to be his teacher.

"Hey..." Hodra couldn't hold it any longer. She had never seen someone like Linton who was so good at bragging, and he didn't make any drafts at all. Is your apprentice returning to the Saint level? Why don't you go to heaven?

"Really?" Matthew asked.

"You won't really believe it," Hodra said in surprise. This was too simple.

"Liar?" Matthew asked again.

"It's true." Linton told the truth, "It's just one chance, you can decide whether to do it or not. There is no such store after this village."

"I...can't be sure." Matthew here said, "I must worship the Sword Master as my teacher."

"Hey, you can't lie to him like this." Hodra quickly said to Linton. This young man is very serious and has good talent. Hodra is afraid that Linton will really delay him.

"I..." Linton was about to continue, when suddenly a group of people nearby pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and crowded around him.
