Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Curtain Will Open
The sudden disappearances, the destruction of several pioneer camps, and the fog of the Black Forest made Sir Castle feel overwhelmed. On the one hand, the Holy Warriors said that the entire city could be destroyed, and on the other hand, he and Antoine smuggled all kinds of weapons and armor to sell to the orcs, if they were discovered by the Holy Warriors, I am afraid that not only the two of them, but all the members of the family will be hanged on the city tower! Moreover, once the paladins began to use the detection of evil on a large scale to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, the nobles in the city were afraid that they would be wiped out!
Not only will the Chaos Church be found out, but I'm afraid that Anthony Port will also be completely purged by the Church!
At that time, the power of the nobility will definitely be dealt a heavy blow, and the influence of the church on the city will increase significantly. When the colonies of the Far South were first developed, the first colonists of the Old World were led by a few great nobles. In order to prevent their rights from being balanced by the power of the Church like the Old World, the lords of Antonina Harbor tried their best to suppress the influence of the Church from the very beginning of the city's establishment. If the paladins are released, I am afraid that these people will completely destroy all the gray areas, and he will also offend the nobles of the whole city!
Relying on the transit of colonies in the Far South, countless fortunes flow between the New World and the Old World every year, relying on smuggling, slaves, the black market, those gangsters who hold gray interests, which one is not supported by the aristocracy!
"No way!" Ser Kasla gritted his teeth and said to the paladin, "I have almost ordered the pirate inspection team to be brought back!" Our strength is enough! I'll go back to the Earl in a moment, and get the highest right to search, and I'll be sure to find those abominable depraved!" β
The young knight looked at him deeply: "The church's patience is limited, if tomorrow before dark, I can't curb the chaos in the city, I will unite the church forces in the city to deal with it myself, if the disappearance of the population is really their doing, I'm afraid that the number of people you have concealed has already done enough for them to carry out the evil sacrifice ritual!" β

On the other hand, Xu Yichen, who went deep into the slum at this time, was very curious about the little secret about the slum in the mouth of the gangster in front of him.
"I was going to find someone to show me the way, but now I'm interested in your little secret." Xu Yichen took a high chair and sat in front of Mike, while the female warrior next to him continued to maintain a vigilant posture, intimidating the Polke and a few people: "Please tell your secret." β
Mike hated to slap himself, why couldn't he listen to other people's requests, why did he have to talk too much!
But under the urging of the eyes of the Seris in front of him, Mike still decided to tell the truth about the little secret he had accidentally discovered, and he subconsciously felt that the consequences of lying would be ugly.
"Well, I saw it by accident, and I didn't even tell Boss Polk." Mike looked at Pok next to him, and found that he was smiling at the samurai with a social face, and did not respond to his words, and Mike continued to breathe a sigh of relief: "There is a group of people in the slums, who operate here under the name of the Little Earl, we call them the Bloodroar Gang, and their main business is arms and corpses, as long as there are corpses, you can exchange money with them. β
Mike cautiously stared at the Seris on the other side, seeing that he did not say anything about the business scope of the Bloodroar Gang, and quietly ruled out in his heart that the other party was not the kind of adventurer of the "evil must die, I am a partner of justice", and felt that the possibility of his survival was greatly improved.
"Everyone knows that they are acting under the banner of a lord, but they are actually doing things for Lord Antoine... At this point, Mike was interrupted.
"Who is Antoine?" Xu Yichen felt that this Blood Roar Gang was related to Master Antoine behind him, and eighty percent of it was related to his mission, and the warehouse he came here to investigate was originally filled with weapons made by dwarves in three months.
When Mike heard Xu Yichen's question, he ruled out in his heart the possibility that these two people were spies hired by the nobles in the city, if it was their people, they wouldn't know Antoine's name, and even the poor class could see the ambition of this adult. Eighty percent of them came here for the disappearances in the ghetto.
"Mistress Antoine is the steward of the Antoine family, the de facto master of the Port of Antony, Your Excellency." Mike answered Xu Yichen's question, pondered for a moment and said, "But what I'm going to say next is a secret that only I know!" β
Oh? Even Boss Pock, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide and waited for this subordinate he didn't think much of before to tell him this secret that might be used to buy his life.
Seeing that everyone's appetite was satisfied, Mike said: "That's this Blood Roar Gang, which is actually really our little earl's force!" Antoine himself may not know that this gang is in league with Count Anthony! β
Mike's secret was so amazing that Boss Polk couldn't help but exclaim, "This can't be!" I've seen Master Antoine's agents deal with the aftermath of the Bloodcry Gang, and they even come to take Antoine's share of the dividends every month! β
Mike nodded and said to Xu Yichen: "Yes, my lord, on the surface, Antoine is the owner of the Bloodroar Gang, but once, I found a corpse in the river, and I originally planned to salvage him and send him to the territory of the Bloodroar Gang in exchange for some pocket money." Shortly after I got into the water, two people came to the shore and told me some secrets that I shouldn't have heard. Someone was talking to Mr. Colin, the leader of the Bloodroar Gang, by the river, but they didn't notice me, so I carefully hid in the mud on the bank of the river near them, breathing carefully to avoid being heard. β
As if thinking back to his memory, Mike was silent for a moment before he said, "I heard the voice of the Bloodcry boss Colin before, and I recognized his voice, he was reporting to one person about the recent gains of the Bloodcry Gang, and also mentioned that Antoine was completely still in the dark, reassuring the other. Then he said that the recent mission has not been going well, and he hopes to speed up the progress. The other man spoke in a very young voice, as if he didn't want Colin to do this, and warned him not to mess around, but for some reason, after a moment's hesitation, he told Colin that if he could move in the slums without alarming the nobles and church forces in the city, he could complete the task as soon as possible. β
Mike's voice trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Yichen's eyes: "My lord, I know that in your eyes I am just an idle thief and a gangster, but I grew up here, the slum is my home, and Boss Bock gave me a job when I was dying of starvation, so that I could continue to live, but I know him, and telling him this secret can only make this little gang disappear here completely, and now I want to tell you about it, please be sure to tell the church in the city about it!" β
Without waiting for the other people in the room to react, Mike said quickly: "Out of curiosity, after they left, I secretly probed and saw the back of another person, under the moonlight, that kind of white and blonde hair, only the Anthony family has here!" I didn't react at the time, but then I figured out what their mission was, the main business of the Bloodcry Gang was to buy corpses, no one knew what they were doing with corpses and who they were selling them to, but soon after they talked, the slums began to disappear, and about 400 people disappeared here in the past few months! I don't know what the mission they say is, but it's certainly not a good thing! β
