City of Fortune.

The shadow of the chaos and carnage that took place some time ago has not yet dissipated, and the city is still a little deserted. There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and now a lot of trade has turned to the wreck bay. So much so that even the lives of the lower classes of the city of wealth have become difficult, and at this time of the year there were endless jobs to find on the docks, but now the work on the docks has to be picky. Many families who live by selling their coolies are now living in great poverty.

Especially since the arrival of the New Year, as well as the spread of chaos within the continent, the gradual increase in food prices has made them even more sad.

Many have already regretted it.

Many people lost family and friends that night, but after that night they realized that they had lost much more than that.

The paladins left.

They have succeeded in changing the place, making the evil less evil, but they have not given the poor people the life they want, because they are weak, and the weak are so vulnerable after the chaos. The gangs in the City of Fortune have become much less powerful, and many gangs have fallen that night, but the gangs that have fallen have left many voids, and there has been too much bloodshed to fight for these benefits. 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 was also a little silent.

They don't seem to have any plans to do anything about the city of wealth, which is gradually losing its former prosperity.

Maybe they've already done something, or they've made some other decision.

No one knew what the temple was going to do, and perhaps they didn't care about the temporary depression, but for the poor at the bottom, they only knew that life was getting harder. Food prices are still rising, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to work, the merchants who come to the country no longer provide economic consumption, and even the business with prostitutes and female warblers has begun to deteriorate a lot. In the past, two silver deleeks were quite beautiful at one time, but now they are all one silver delete can play twice, and let open their small mouths to taste the flute for a while.

A corner of the street.

Two shopkeepers with sad faces sat together, and one of the chubby shopkeepers raised his hand to wipe his sweat and complained, "I heard that there is going to be a war in the south!" Recently, the prices of goods have been 30% higher, and there are a lot less things to be shipped from the south, and I heard that some trade routes have been cut off. I also heard that there was a red dragon in White Horse City, and now people are panicking everywhere. ”

Another thinner shopkeeper also sighed when he heard this, and said slowly: "Those are okay, they could have taken the sea route." But now it's such a fuss. Many merchants were afraid to come. I heard that there is a pirate king named the Throatcutter who has risen on the other side of Tyro Harbor and Shipwreck Bay, and he is different from the previous pirate kings, he actually does not like to take his men to rob, and he also restricts others from messing around. ”

"Now a lot of merchants have run to these two places."

The chubby shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Don't rob?" So where did he get his money and food? There are a lot of pirates begging for a living on this sea, so if they don't rob, don't they all have to drink the northwest wind? ”

The skinny shopkeeper glanced outside and replied, "I don't know either. ”

"But there must be other ways to get money. I heard that some pirate leaders have changed careers, and some have started caravans. If you add to that the filial piety on the surface of the sea. It's definitely enough to feed a bunch of men. In addition, most of the trade on the south coast is supported by overseas islands. That's how much you earn, tsk, one vote will top us for two or three years. ”

"That's right."

"I've heard about it during this time. His Excellency, the Throat Slitter, was not a complete abstain from robbing merchants. Recently, I have heard that the port of Taylor and the wreck bay are selling the order flag, which is a big black flag, and it is said that pirates on the sea will not attack merchant ships, and those who do not have a flag are a little uncertain. I don't know much anyway. Recently, the world has become too fast, and something will happen every few days. ”

"I've been worried a lot lately."

"Thinking about whether to sell my shop, and then make some preparations to go back to the country manor."

The two of them kept chatting. Talking too much is a recent thing.

Suddenly!

They seemed to hear a scream, and then they were all full of wit, and there was a lot of chaos during this time, and the day before yesterday, someone was hacked to death at the door of their shop. The two of them didn't dare to go over when they heard the sound, but hurriedly called the patrol guard, and after the guard came over for about ten minutes, there was no movement in the alley where the sound came out. But it's okay this way, people who don't see anything, hear nothing, and don't know anything can live longer.

As soon as I entered the alley, even the patrol guards couldn't help but gasp!

There were a lot of corpses in there.

One of the guard captains with a beard and armor all over his body flipped over and looked at the corpse, and the expression on his face suddenly became stern, he looked at the left and right and his face was not very good, and said: "It's quite a powerful master!" ”

"These corpses are all killed in one hit, and the time before and after death will not exceed a minute, and such a powerful master is estimated to have crossed that hurdle."

"It's not something we can manage, so let's report it to the higher authorities and deal with it."

Twelve corpses on the ground.

All of them were one-hit kills, and the time of death was no more than a minute before and after, and the final screams seemed to be made because of something else, otherwise there was no movement at all.

This is already a legendary-level combat power!

Not to mention that the captain of the guard just now took a look and found that there were adventurers with similar skills to him in the corpse, and three of them were all third-order professionals.

The matter was quickly escalated, but it is difficult to say whether anyone will be in charge of the next step.

………………

The other side.

On a hidden beam, a young man in a cloak sat in the corner of the room, playing with a golden coin in his hand, his expression seemingly excited. The gold coin in his hand was quite special, not in the style of Kindler, and it was not engraved with the head of the Lady of Fortune, but with the appearance of another goddess. There are strange patterns on the front and back of the gold coin, many of which are simply incomprehensible, but this does not prevent those who see it at first sight from discovering its peculiarities.

The young man stood up, picked up the gold coin and pointed it in the direction of the sea, and smiled: "Good luck! ”

"This time, not only did I receive a big order, but I also happened to meet someone who found the legendary lucky gold coin from the underground ruins! Looks like Lady Luck is really on my hand this time! ”

"Throat cutter?"

"Kill you and I'll be a bumper harvest this time!"
