Westflow City.

With the outbreak of armed disputes among the major countries on the Salt Coast, the center of gravity of commercial trade began to shift to inland riverside ports, and the city, which was already an important port, began to gradually become lively.

In the dock area, the number of pedestrians on the streets increased, and many merchants turned inland with a lot of trade to avoid the war, so that the flow of people in Xiliu City began to rise. Merchants brought in a lot of goods, many people from the slums flocked to the docks, and some families in need began to change in a better direction during this time.

Sometimes, however, as new interests multiply, so does the scramble.

In the past.

In the area of the dock, the aristocracy has always been only the ruler on the surface, and many private forces are the key to controlling the entire port, and at the same time, the power alternation in this dark place is also very frequent.

Due to the increase in the foreign population, there have been many vicious murders in the dock area recently, so the nobles are not allowed to send guards to strengthen patrols here.

The power of the aristocracy reached its peak in the docklands during this time.

For the increasingly prosperous Weststream City, the transfer of coastal trade brought them many business opportunities, some precious ores from the overseas archipelago, as well as many new weapons from the northern regions, and many craftsmen with precious skills.

The strength of Xiliu City is expanding dramatically.

Treant's dowry tavern.

There was no expression on the monkey's lean face, and he sat in the corner of the tavern, ordered a good wine, and tasted it slowly.

It was lively in the tavern.

The old one-eyed life is getting more and more nourishing, and the bustling port has brought a lot of bold men. These good men who make a living at sea don't care about a little money.

On top of that, Old One-Eye seems to have recruited two southern winemakers, and most of the southern wines are more popular.

After all, the climate in the south is docile, where the grain production is high, for the brewing industry, grain is the raw material, when there is more food, people will naturally study the winemaking technique more deeply.

These good wines attracted a lot of customers for the old one-eyed.

Even the business with the girl Liuying began to improve a lot, and the number of maids in the old one-eyed tavern doubled.

This damn old one-eyed! He can always do everything possible to squeeze the copper plate out of every hero.

The monkey appears to be drinking, but in fact, his ears and eyes have been collecting every piece of information throughout the tavern.

Don't look at the tavern is very lively.

In fact, I don't know how many eyes and ears from all sides are here.

On the left and right sides of the monkey, a dozen fierce men gathered together to drink, these people looked like a tiger's back, and the hair all over their bodies fully revealed the word thug.

They are the monkey's men.

"Boss!"

Suddenly, a young man dressed in black quietly walked up to the monkey and whispered to the monkey, "That group of men has been arranged to leave the city." ”

"Hmm."

The monkey nodded slightly.

This morning, he received a message from Seth Tower, telling him to immediately arrange for all of his newly recruited men to evacuate Weststream.

In fact.

With the increase in the flow of people in Xiliu City, many men from the sea also came. Monkey was a very clever man, and with enough money, he could easily recruit three hundred.

These 300 people are not the kind of street gangsters.

As for the dozen or so guys around the monkey, they have a strong smell of sea on their bodies, and they look like people who have been drifting on the sea all year round.

And when they drank, the inadvertent fierce light showed that they were real thugs who had seen blood.

The people that the monkey found, if he guessed correctly, should have been born as pirates before.

I heard that the recent battle for the hegemony of several One Piece Kings on the sea has reached the point of killing people, and many pirates have been forced to change careers and set foot on land.

After another moment.

A scantily clad maid in the tavern walked over to the monkey with a glass of wine, and the little girl had long blond hair and bright red lips that made her mouth dry.

A dozen big men around the monkey laughed and drank with each other, one or two men glanced at the little girl skin seemingly casually, and the other three or four also surrounded each other with squints.

A few people quietly completed a vigilant circle.

"Guest, the person you want to see has arrived, and he is waiting for you in the alley opposite." The maid smiled charmingly, the corners of her mouth hooked up a trace of ambiguous angle, gently put down a glass of wine, twisted her waist, and said softly in the monkey's ear.

The corners of the monkey's mouth twitched, and his left hand touched the maid's waist.

Bite!

I saw that he flipped his right hand, and very flexibly conjured a gold coin, and with a smile he stuffed the gold coin into the peak of the maid, and the monkey pinched it with his left hand, and then pushed the maid away.

He's not a stilted knight.

It's just that the monkey has more important things to do, and he knows the character of that Excellency very well, and if he delays that person's affairs, he will not be able to cut a few lives.

The maid glanced at the monkey with regret.

The maids who can work in this tavern, each of them is very shrewd, they see people very accurately, this monkey, with a group of good men faintly around, must be a rich master.

Get out of the tavern.

The monkey is light on his feet, he is a wanderer, and his skill and dexterous dagger skills are his strength.

Behind him.

A few strong men with tigers on their backs followed silently, like black bears walking in the dim alleys.

"Stop!"

A distinctly audible voice came from the male and female, and the monkey stopped.

On the other side of the alley.

A figure wrapped in a black cloak stood there.

"You're the guest?" The figure asked in a low voice.

"Not bad."

The monkey replied and said slowly, "What do I want?" ”

"Here it is! But you have to pay first! ”

The figure raised his left hand.

Bite!

Without saying a word, the monkey reached out and threw out a black money bag, which landed at the man's feet, revealing several golden coins.

Sou!

The man simply threw away the things in his hand, bent down to pick up the money bag, and didn't hide his head into the depths of the alley.

The monkey catches the thing, and inside is a note.

The contents of the note were surprising.

It's about the Iron Sword Regiment.

It recorded in detail the battle situation between the Iron Sword Regiment and the Skeleton Regiment, and even explained how the Iron Sword Regiment evacuated and where the members are hiding now.

"Let's go!"

The monkey raised an eyebrow and quickly turned away.

This information is the most authoritative underground channel in the docklands, and it is extremely credible, and he must bring this news to Rhodes.

…………

Out of the wilderness.

To the east from the Osm Watchtower camp, across the jungle hills, is the vast jungle west of the Seth Watchtower.

A knight who followed Icazar was weakened, his armor was already riddled with holes, he had just escaped the terrible hunter once again, and was fleeing into the depths of the forest.

The knight's appearance was very embarrassed, a refined steel sword was already chipped, and some wounds appeared on his body, blood continued to seep out, the shadows of the trees in the dense forest were mottled, and the knight's pale face was full of despair under the swaying sunlight.

That terrible hunter was very difficult.

It attacked their mounts, losing them, and the three knights trudged through the wilderness.

Along the way, that damn bug was even more stalking.

As a last resort, Icasa had no choice but to let a few people flee separately.

Clang!

Suddenly, a dark shadow struck, and the knight raised his sword to block, and the shadow and the sword made a metallic collision.

The knight's eyes froze, and he realized that the black shadow was actually somewhat familiar!

"It's Jiry's helmet!"

The Black Shadow turned out to be a military-standard helmet, and some of the marks on it indicated that it was the helmet of another knight.

Jiri is dead!

Otherwise, how could his helmet be here?

Multiply!

Just as the knight lost his mind, a dark purple figure came at him, and the hideous face and sharp claws made people shudder.

"Die!"

The knight roared suddenly, swinging his sword at the monster.

Laugh at!

It's just that his long sword is still raised high, and the sharp limbs of another slightly smaller dark purple biter have pierced his chest.

- "Ethereal Soul Companion Biting Worm!" ”

It seems that after the Ethereal Biter killed Jiri, the first companion Biter was born with the help of his body.

"Gollum...... I'm not reconciled! ”

The knight knelt on the ground with his sword in hand, blood gushing out, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness and deep despair.
