V2.Chapter 73

City of Wealth.

The shadow of the chaos and killings that happened some time ago has not dissipated, and the city still looks a little deserted. There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and a lot of trade is now diverted to Shipwreck Bay. As a result, the life of even the lower-class poor in the city of wealth has become difficult. At this time in previous years, there were endless jobs to be found on the wharf, but now the work on the wharf has to be selective. Many families who live by selling their coolies are now very poor.

Especially since the new year is approaching and the chaos spreads within the continent, gradually increasing food prices make them even more sad.

Many have regretted it.

Many people lost their relatives and friends that night, but only after that night did they realize that they had lost far more than that.

The paladins left.

They actually succeeded in changing the place, reducing the evil here, but they did not allow the poor to live the life they wanted, because they are the weak, and the weak are so fragile after the chaos. The gangs in the City of Fortune have been reduced a lot. Many gangs were destroyed that night, but the destroyed gangs left many blanks. There have been too many bloodsheds for these interests. From that day until now, the curfew in the City of Fortune has not been lifted, and there are many guards patrolling every day.

The temple also seemed a little silent.

For the city of wealth that has gradually lost its prosperity, they seem to have no plans to do anything.

Maybe they have done something, or made some other decision.

No one knows what the temple's plans are, maybe they don't care about this temporary depression, but for the poor at the bottom, they only know that life is getting harder and harder. Food prices are still rising, and job opportunities are getting fewer and fewer. The merchants who come here no longer provide economic consumption, and even the business with prostitutes and female rogues has begun to deteriorate a lot. In the past, there were two silver dlers who were quite beautiful. Now, one Yindeler can play twice, and let him open his mouth to play the flute for a while.

corner of the street.

Two shopkeepers with a bit of a frown sat together. One of the chubby shop owners raised his hand to wipe his sweat and complained: "I heard that there is going to be a war in the south! Recently the price of purchased goods has increased by 30%, and the goods shipped from the south are much less. I heard that some trade routes are It was cut off. I also heard that there was a red dragon in the White Horse City, and now people are panicking everywhere."

The other thinner shop owner also sighed when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Those are all good, they could have gone by sea. But now with such a commotion, many businessmen dare not come here. I heard that Taylor A pirate king named Cutthroat has risen in the harbor and Shipwreck Bay. He is different from the previous pirate kings, and he doesn't like to take his men to loot, and he also restrains others from messing around."

"A lot of businessmen are going to these two places now."

The fat shop owner was stunned when he heard the words, and then asked: "Don't loot? Then how does he get his money? There are a lot of pirates on the sea seeking a living. If they don't loot, they don't all have to drink the northwest wind. ?"

The skinny shop owner glanced outside and replied, "I don't know very well either."

"But there must be other ways to get money. I heard that some pirate chiefs have changed careers, and some of them have started caravans. If you add the filial piety on the surface, it must be enough to support a group of men. Besides, most of the trade on the south coast is supported by the overseas archipelago. That's how much you earn. Tsk tsk, one vote will top us for two or three years."

"correct."

"I've heard during this time that the Lord Cutthroat is not completely non-robbing merchants. Recently, I heard that there is a sell order flag in the port of Taylor and Shipwreck Bay. It is a black flag. It is said that it hangs Pirates on the sea won't attack merchant ships, and those who don't have flags are a little uncertain. Anyway, I'm not too sure, the world has changed too fast recently, and something will happen every few days."

"I've been very worried recently."

"I'm thinking about selling my shop, and then make some preparations to go back to the manor in the countryside."

The two kept chatting, talking too much was a recent thing.

suddenly!

They seemed to have heard a scream, and then they were all smart, and there was a lot of chaos during this time. Someone was hacked to death in front of their shop the night before yesterday. The two did not dare to go over when they heard the sound, but hurried to call the patrol guard. It was about ten minutes after the guard came over, and there was no movement in the alley where the sound came from. But that's fine too. Those who see nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing can live longer.

As soon as we entered the alley, even the patrol guards could not help but gasp!

There are a lot of dead bodies in there.

One of the guard captains, with a beard and a full body of armor, turned over to look at the corpse, and his face suddenly became serious.

"These corpses are all killed in one blow, and the time of death will not exceed one minute. It is estimated that such a powerful master has already crossed that hurdle."

"It's not something we can manage, so let's report it to the top to handle it."

Twelve corpses on the ground.

All of them were one-shot kills, and the time of death did not exceed one minute. The last scream seemed to be caused by something else, otherwise there would be no movement at all.

This is already a legendary level of combat power!

Not to mention that the captain of the guard just glanced at it and found that there were adventurers with similar skills as him in the corpse, and three of them were conservatively Tier 3 professionals.

The matter was reported quickly, but it is difficult to say whether anyone will take care of it next.

the other side.

On a hidden beam, a young man in a cloak was sitting at the corner of the house. He was playing with a golden coin in his hand, and his expression seemed a little excited. The gold coin in his hand is quite special. It is not the style of Kindler, nor is it engraved with the head of the Lady of Fortune, but the appearance of another goddess. There are strange patterns on the front and back of the gold coin, many of which cannot be understood at all, but it does not affect the peculiarity of the person who sees it for the first time.

The young man stood up, picked up the gold coin and pointed in the direction of the sea, smiling: "It's really good luck!"

"Not only did I receive a big order this time, but I also happened to meet someone who discovered the legendary lucky gold coin from the underground ruins! It seems that the goddess of luck is really looking after me this time!"

"The Throat Cutters?"

"Kill you and I will have a great harvest this time!"
