391 Emergencies
A search in the wind area did not find Alston and caused some minor troubles.
In this regard, Al and Caius are not surprised, after all, the Wind Zone is the default "rich area" in Snow City, and there will be guards on duty at the entrance of the residential area at night, and ordinary people and mercenaries and the like will also be able to enter a limited number of places such as Golden Tree Square and Moon Vasca Hall.
Moreover, there is no place to stay in the Genting District, and Auston certainly can't afford to buy a house in the Wind District, unless he wants to bring the girl to the Golden Tree Plaza to spend the first month and the next month, he basically won't come to the Wind District.
As for the trouble......
Those who can settle in the Wind Zone, whether it is a wealthy merchant, a nobleman, or a large family with a long heritage, are a bit arrogant, and there must be some secrets hidden in the mansion, so when facing the search of El and the Shadow Blades, there will naturally be some verbal and physical conflicts.
But these are all minor troubles, and they come and go quickly, and when Al burns down the strange building of the Gray Sideburns house, and a Shadow Blade team kidnaps a certain baron's family, these objections completely disappear in the wind zone.
As for whether they will complain to Barguf tomorrow morning, that's not something Al needs to worry about.
The search for the Wind Zone lasted just over an hour, after which the City Guards blocked several entrances to the Ventilation Zone and the Plains Zone, and El and the Shadow Blades entered the Plains to begin their search.
Compared with the wind area, although there are not so many "big people" in the plain area, the difficulty of searching is not reduced at all, not to mention that the number and area of houses in the plain area are several times more than that of the wind area, and a mare banner alone is enough for Al to have a headache.
As the largest and best-served inn in Snowman, the mare banner alone has more than 700 rooms and suites, as well as a hall, two dining rooms, a kitchen, and a large basement and cellar.
Compounding the search was the structure of the mare's banner, with eight stairs connecting the different rooms alone, not to mention the cobweb-like corridors on each floor.
However, with the large number of city guards, these problems are relatively easy to solve, and the most troublesome thing for Al is the residents of the mare banner.
The rich merchants and caravan leaders who live in the mare banner are not all from other places, but also a large number of caravan guards and mid-level and low-level mercenaries, if the rich merchants and caravan leaders and the like are reasonable, then these low-level mercenaries are completely a "do it if you don't accept it" attitude, even if the shadow blades concentrate on dealing with a lot of thorns, there are still troublesome guys jumping out, repeatedly delaying the progress of the search.
Had it not been for the guards guarding the key passage, Al would have even wondered if Auston had infiltrated the mare banner, started a fight, and then secretly left.
After focusing on completing the search of the mare banner, whether it is El or a vote of city guards, there is a feeling of exhaustion, the shadow blades are in good condition, as the high-level elite of the Silent City intelligence system, the search of the mare banner is just a small scene for them, but the restriction that they can't kill people makes them a little constrained.
A single mare banner alone took Al more than an hour, and it was already midnight when the search of the Plains was halfway through.
Looking at the city guards who were in low spirits, Al had to give them a little stimulation: "Everyone, everyone! Everyone cheered up, and after the search was completed, I will give everyone a day off, so that everyone can have a good rest, and if everyone is still in spirit tomorrow, I will invite everyone to drink at the mare banner! ”
Seeing that everyone was still lacking in interest, Al had to release a big move: "If the murderer is caught, each person will be rewarded with a gold coin!" ”
"Wow!"
The city guards were boiling in an instant, you know, their monthly allowance is only two gold coins, for bachelors, this money is definitely enough for them to live a very nourishing life, but for those who have already started a family, it is only barely enough for their wives and children to live, and they can't save much money at all.
And now as soon as Al speaks, it is half a month's allowance, how can this not make them excited, this extra gold coin is enough for them to improve the living conditions of their family, as for the bachelors in the city guard, even if they don't plan to save up to marry a daughter-in-law, they can take this gold coin and go to the mare banner to spend the night with the girl they like.
Just as Shadow Blade and the city guards set out to search again, Caius quietly found El and said, "This reward ......"
"Don't worry, it's on me, after all, you're assisting me in my actions."
Al smiled, he naturally understood Caius's concerns, there were three people on top, Balguf, Hognard and Irelais were pressing, the city guards in Snow City didn't have much oil and water, if Caius was asked to give out more than a thousand gold coins, maybe the allowance of the city guards would have to be halved this month.
However, for El, this thousand gold coins is nothing, not to mention Silent City, just the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce, the daily profit is more than this, take it out to reward these city guards, and by the way, you can speed up the progress, why not?
As Al thought, under the stimulation of the gold coins, the progress of the search has also been accelerated again and again, originally after the Shadow Blades completed the search, they had to wait for the city guards to shrink the encirclement before they could continue to search for the next house, but now it happened to be reversed, after the shadow blade searched, the city guards had already shrunk the encirclement, and the efficiency was almost doubled, just in the middle of the night, Al and the others searched the plain area, and there were more than a dozen households near the city gate, including the war girl, who were not searched.
Just as Al and the others were about to complete their search for the plain area in one go, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the city gate, and it didn't take long for a guard of the city guard to run over in a panic.
"Oh no! The mercenaries and caravan guards from the outer city have gathered together and are storming the encirclement of the army! ”
"What!"
Al and Caius were both stunned, this group of mercenaries and caravan guards were not out of their minds, how could they make such a crazy move?
"What the hell is going on?"
Caius hurriedly asked, he had just given a speech in the evening, and now no matter what happened, even if the plan was proposed by Al, he would not escape punishment.
There was a burst of realization in the heart of the El next to him, and when this situation occurred, it was probably because Auston noticed their actions and was ready to incite those mercenaries and guards to rush out of the snowy city together!
As for how Auston did it......
You must know that among the three major rules that Mephala has mastered, there are "lies", and if they are applied well, it is not difficult to incite a group of reckless people.
Now, the only question is, how grim is the form of the outer city?
