Chapter One Hundred and Three: Things in the Tavern

Rumors have always been like autumn leaves, flying all over the sky at the slightest hint of wind and grass.

I don't know when these two rumors began to circulate in the imperial capital.

"Have you heard?" said a businessman-looking fellow to his companion, "The Imperial Capital has not been peaceful lately, and I heard that there is a dark magic appearance, and many people have died. ”

"Who's to say no? I heard that a lot of people were killed in the slums last night, and there are still people from the military there to clean up the bodies. His peers apparently got the news as well, even in a little more detail.

What just happened last night, coupled with the deliberate blockade of the military department, can still spread to the ears of all kinds of people in the imperial capital so quickly.

It would be absolutely impossible to say that no one is contributing to this.

At the same time, another, even more exciting news quietly circulated among the various groups.

"Sisconnor is back!"

Burst!

The crowd in the bar couldn't help but squirt out the drink in their mouths, but even the unlucky man who was sprayed by them didn't care about anger, but looked at the person who spoke in shock.

"Who did you just say? Siscona!?"

He shared his doubts with the others in the tavern, all of whom pricked up their ears as the familiar name rang out in their ears.

Many people may have forgotten the name, but in the slums, the name is a symbol of hope.

Sisconnor was born in the slums, but was the son of a down-and-out aristocracy. However, his father's family soon perished, and his mother gradually weakened under the toil of the day and night, and soon died, leaving Sisconnor as an orphan.

From an early age, Sisconnor saw the darkest side of the imperial capital in the slums, fraud, robbery, and vendettas, all of which planted the seeds in his young heart to change everything here.

The aristocratic blood flowing in his body did not make him grow arrogant, but made him more sympathetic to the people at the bottom of the slums.

Sisconnor always hated the dirty things done by the upper nobles, and even felt ashamed of the noble blood that flowed in his body at one point.

And he also showed a clever side since he was a child, working for a hotel, and then got to know all kinds of characters.

Taking the opportunity to feed the horses, he overheard a merchant planning to buy a large amount of Mithril on the market, wait until the price has risen, and then sell it.

So he took all his savings and borrowed money to buy a piece of Mithril and sold it when the market price was at its highest.

Net 16 gold coins!

Then he took the money and bought a cultivation secret.

I didn't expect him to be in the divine power

He showed an amazing talent in cultivation, and was then appreciated by the dean of a civilian academy, and then began his journey of cultivation step by step.

Originally, his life might have gone on like this, graduating, becoming a knight, joining a family, and owning his own fiefdom.

But all this was ruthlessly erased.

When the nobleman who destroyed his father's family learned of his origins, he was afraid that he would retaliate against him when he grew up to a certain extent, so he ruthlessly suppressed him.

Friends abandoned him one by one, the division commander was imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and even his lover died in front of him because of the assassination of the great nobleman.

All the blows were concentrated on Siscona, and the fiercest side of his heart was brought to life.

Siscona, who was already a six-star knight at the time, was already a member of the Imperial Capital's city defenses, and he took advantage of his position to escape from the Imperial Capital overnight, causing those who wanted to assassinate him to the ground.

Just when everyone thought that he would spend his life in some remote place, living in fear of being hunted down and killed all his life, he actually returned!

He quietly infiltrated the slums and found the largest mafia organization at the time to negotiate.

No one knew the details of the negotiations, but that night, the nobleman's residence in the imperial capital was devastated.

More than a hundred people in the entire manor, from the great nobles to the servants who washed and cooked, were all burned to charcoal. All the contents of the manor were looted overnight.

On the contrary, it was a slum, and I don't know who first discovered that there was an extra cloth bag under the eaves of his house, and there were either a few gold coins or a beautiful gold-plated teacup.

Such a big thing happened in the imperial capital, and naturally there were voices in the palace.

The military headquarters immediately intervened and sent a large number of high-ranking knights to hunt down Siscona. It's just that Sisconnor has long since left the imperial capital at this time.

But instead of giving up, they hunted Sisconnor empire-wide and sent more men to hunt him down.

As a result, Sisconnor was forced deep into a forest between the Empire and the southern seas.

But it's not a good place, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's a forbidden place.

It was full of poisonous barriers, and even an eight-star knight couldn't stay there for long. And there are poisonous insects that cover the sky and the sun, and even poisonous insects can eat the hard alchemy material of secret gold!

So when the military men had been guarding the entrance to the forest for a week, they decided that Sisconnor was dead.

So, when the people in the tavern heard the name "Sisconnor" again, they could imagine how surprised they were.

And the person who first spread the news was a white man whose teeth were about to be exposed

The old man, looking at everyone's surprised appearance, showed a mysterious smile.

"Why don't you say it?" the Acute Guy was already yelling, for the name Sisconnor had a different meaning to them who were born in the slums. Many people had the opportunity to cultivate because of the extra belongings outside the door that day, and this opportunity directly changed their lives!

Especially the young people who grew up listening to the legend of Siscona, although they were living an unsatisfactory life at this time, they still licked blood from the knife every day, just for a simple three meals a day.

But that didn't detract from Siscona's unique position in their minds.

The heroes of his slums are the characters they have admired since childhood.

One day standing side by side with him is their lifelong wish!

At this time, someone who knew the old guy who had a terrible appetite took a hard sip and turned to shout towards the bar.

"Special mother, give this old thing a beer, I don't think he gets drunk or lets go!"

Several people in the tavern immediately laughed, and exchanged some news for wine money, which is an unwritten rule and a rule that many people know.

The white-haired old man burst out laughing, revealing his half-lost teeth, and a hint of flushing immediately appeared on his face as the yellow ale wine poured into his throat.

"Hiccup!"

The old man was slightly drunk, and his eyes were a little foggy, but he still remembered what he was doing.

"Siscona...... Someone saw that he had seen him on the Yunting Mountain to the east, and at the same time found a treasure!" The white-haired old man's words directly caused an uproar.

"What!?treasure?"

When the names Sisconnor and the Treasure were juxtaposed, everyone smelled a breath.

It's a sense of smell that only lasts all year round, and they smell nothing else, but ......

The breath of wealth!

Even those who were not interested in Sisconnor were deeply attracted by the old man's words, staring at him intimately for what he said next.

"But Sisconnor seemed to be guarding the place, saying that it was a treasure and a strange thing about the Devil's Cave. It seems to be ...... The recent black magic incident in the imperial capital is because something has escaped from inside, and he wants to make sure that things don't get worse or something......"

After the old man barely said this, he collapsed on the table in full view of everyone, and after a while, he snored like thunder.

Several people tried to get him to tell more, but they couldn't wake him up.

"Treasure...... Monster ......"

Everyone in the tavern had their own agendas, and only a few of them simply wanted to meet the legendary side in order to fulfill their childhood wishes.
