Chapter 111: Into the Slums

With three women, the demon hunter silently headed in the direction of the ghetto, the shadow assassin was so injured that he couldn't move, the warrior monk Tang Sanzang stayed behind to take care of him, and the female warrior Vittoria was responsible for protecting them from accidentally injuring the nuns and pirates who were fighting in the port area.

The Witches Federation still doesn't know why Mama broke the appointment, but in the current situation, as the head of the Federation in the local area, the witch Altoya obviously doesn't have the time or strength to confront Mama, and the trouble in front of her is obviously more serious.

Even outside the slums, you can see a large area of slums, with black smoke rising from the inside and shouts of killing all over the city, so that ordinary people who have experienced a war do not need warning, and stay at home honestly, waiting for the situation to calm down.

Bands of city guards were panicking and barricades around the port area, blocking the streets, and it was clear that the city lord Antoine had made up his mind not to help each other, pretending not to know about the battle that was taking place between the two sides of the port area.

The Demon Hunter admired Antoine in this regard, this villain knew very well the power in his hands, what he could manage, and what he should pretend to be deaf and dumb. Sisters, Antoine can't afford to mess with her, and Mama, who dares to do something to the nuns, Antoine also understands that the other party must have something to rely on, and she can't afford to mess with her either. It is estimated that at this time, anything that can prove that he and Mama have cooperated has been destroyed.

Blessed by the witch Altoya, the soldiers of the city guard who met along the way all seemed to have not seen the demon hunters, and the four of them successfully arrived near the slum blockade blocked by the church.

The whole slum is a low-rise shantytown built outside the port of Antonio, along the eastern side of the city wall, in the direction of the Black Forest, without any municipal planning, and the twisted streets reflect the imagination of every builder in building his own dwelling.

This is part of the city, which depends on the city to survive, but has its own system of order, most of whom are poor people who cannot afford the cost of living in the city, or colonists who have failed to reclaim in the wilderness and have nothing, slowly gathering together, relying on the income of the gray zone such as smuggling, showing a deformed prosperity.

Even the harshest tax officials could not collect a single dinar here, and in fact, after four successive tax collectors and their retinue had their throats cut and thrown in the stinking gutters, a new profession, the tax collector, was active in the ghetto.

These people pay a fixed amount of taxes to the lord every year, and the lord doesn't care how much they will receive. Most of them are merchants who do illegal trading, and behind them stand the local nobles, who will not go to the slums to find trouble because of that little tax money, but only set aside a small part of their huge profits and hand it over to the lord as a tax, in exchange for the common people in the slums, voluntarily help them, cover up some secrets, or personally participate in it, earn some money to support their families.

As a result, the Church rarely set foot in the ghetto, except that the previous lord did not allow them to expand their territory, and more so that the paladins and priests had no place here, and the notion of the ghetto as a place of sin was taken as a dogma by every clergyman of Antony Grand Port.

Therefore, when such a big accident happened in the slum, in order to ensure the safety of the city, the city guard immediately closed the gate from the slum to the city under the order of the lord.

Subsequently, the armed forces of the Church, armed with Antoine's edict, took over the defense of the entire city wall. The priests teamed up to find out the location of the Chaos Gate that erupted in the ghetto, but the two young priests mutated on the spot, and the extra limbs began to appear on their bodies, and then the paladins completely purified them with holy light.

On the way, the Demon Hunter informs the Afrikan player who has been indulging in ironsmithing with the dwarves in the blacksmith shop, Angus? Carpenter. As a technical nerd, he has not yet reached the third level, but Xu Yichen doesn't need him to fight, he just needs him to bring enough supplies.

The mission of the Demon Hunter is not only to destroy the Chaos Demons in the slums, but also to reduce the losses of the poor.

"Tell the dwarf to transport all the weapons and armor suitable for human use to the gates of the ghetto, and I'll go back and receive them." The demon hunter added a sentence on the text message: "Don't forget to remind him that the price has increased by 20 percent, and a big customer will pay the bill." ”

Since the Witches' Federation can't produce more people for the time being, it's better to pay for it.

In the distance, three sentry paladins with a group of city guards blocked the intersection leading to the city gate, and seeing the approaching four people, the paladins were ready for battle, and the leader walked in the direction of the demon hunter with a few soldiers.

"Stop!" The paladin's weapon was not unsheathed, but it was ready to attack at any time, and under the leadership of the paladin, several soldiers looked a little nervous: "The road to the lower city has been blocked, this is an order issued jointly by the lord and the church!" ”

The official word for the lower city, the ghetto. Catwoman was already asleep on Raphael's back, and the two Awoken had just drunk the blood of the Demon Hunter again.

"I'm a demon hunter, Xu Yichen!" The demon hunter stretched out his hands to show that there was no hostility, because a few archers in the distance were a little nervous, Xu Yichen didn't want to cause an unnecessary fight because of someone's soft hands: "The Richard priest of the Temple of Kampas is not nearby!" I want to see him! ”

The leading holy warrior had obviously heard of Xu Yichen's name, and looked at Xu Yichen's face carefully, the rumored demon hunter was a Seris, and it seemed that he could match the guy in front of him: "Saiwen!" Come here! ”

With his shout, the younger one of the two paladins behind him hurriedly ran over: "Your Excellency Linton, is there something wrong?" ”

"Didn't you go with that white-haired demon hunter before? Is this Seris his apprentice? The paladin, known as Linton, whispered to Severn, "The one you often talk about?" ”

The young holy warrior secretly looked at Xu Yichen and replied, "Your Excellency Linton, it's just him!" ”

"Your Excellency, it's an honor to meet you!" Paladin Linton said to the demon hunter very formally: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the whole city would have suffered misfortune!" ”

"No need to be polite!" The Demon Hunter replied in the same way, "These are my companions, and I need to see Richard as soon as possible and enter the lower town." ”

Although he had some doubts about the three female companions of the Demon Hunter, but with Xu Yichen's local reputation, the Holy Warrior didn't think much about it: "Saiwen, you are responsible for taking His Excellency the Demon Hunter to see Pastor Richard!" ”

"Come with me, Your Excellency, Pastor Richard is in charge of checking the refugees at the city gate ahead!" The young paladin looked at the demon hunter with awe.
