Chapter 8: The City of the Four Seas, the City of Pirates
As the holy city of pirates, the city of chaos has witnessed the rise of pirates and the covenant of pirates from all over the world.
At the same time, as a place that all lawbreakers yearn for, nature is very different from other cities.
The city is divided into eight pieces, like seven petals surrounding the heart of the flower, and the "heart of the flower" is the bloody arena for which the Chaos Lords are famous.
Since the Chaos Collar gathers most of the thugs in the Asan world, the races are mixed, there are often conflicts between different races, and the same race also likes to live together, so since the Selvid family controls the Chaos Territory, the Chaos Collar is divided into six areas for people of different races to live.
It is divided into six areas: swamps, humans, dark elves, demons, undead, barbarians, and orcs.
Because the barbarians and orcs are the farthest away from the Chaos Realm, they have the least number of people but have similar personalities and temperaments, so they are divided into one area.
Of course, the last of the seven regions is naturally the "Black Power Castle" where the Selvid family is located.
The seven areas, as well as the places between the bloody gladiatorial arenas, were made up of seawater that had been brought in. This was to facilitate the entry of the pirates' ships into the harbor.
Of course, you don't need to be afraid that someone will detain your ship, because the city is flaunted as chaotic, but since the Selved family took control of the Chaos Lord, and the bloody gladiatorial arena was built to represent the interests of the vast majority of the Chaos Lord, the rules of the Chaos Realm have become clearer.
Of course, this is also the eternal rule of the world: "A big fist is the truth". In the past, it was a fight when it was encountered, but now it must be fought in the bloody gladiatorial arena, of course, the fight does not need to be ended by the death of one party, as long as one party admits defeat. Bloody gladiatorial fights are only for those who are warmongers for fame or money.
As long as you have a reputation in the gladiatorial arena, most of them don't need to compete to measure their strength, and the weak ones are naturally obedient, otherwise the beating is only light, and death may not be the worst result. Having rules does not mean that the chaos leader is free from chaos, everything still relies on its own strength to speak.
Of course, the rules do not mean that they are useless, because a momentary dispute may be dissolved on the way to the gladiatorial arena. At the same time, assassinations and poisoning are also banned, assassinations are unsettling, and at the same time, it is easy to plunge the people in the city into a chaotic situation where everyone is at risk, after all, it will seriously hinder the development of the city, and it is more terrible than the violent conflict in the streets, and it is disgusted by the big powers.
Of course, this does not mean that the big forces will not use assassination, but they hope that their opponents will not use it, but only themselves.
Under the control of Selved, the entire Chaos Territory has become more and more prosperous, and at the same time, many nobles can be seen in the Chaos Territory to travel to the Chaos Territory, of course, they are going to the bloody gladiatorial arena in the center of the Chaos Territory to watch a rare gladiatorial performance, after all, the bloody battle accompanied by the frenzied atmosphere can retrieve the most primitive ** of the intelligent race.
In addition, the Chaos Realm is also home to the "Crystal Key Auction House", one of the five well-known auction houses in the world. You must know that the Chaos Territory controls the busiest and most prosperous four seas, and some of the stolen goods looted by the pirates will be sold to familiar sellers, and more will be sold to the Chaos Territory or directly to the Chaos Territory for sale, so the Chaos Territory is the first of the five major auction houses.
And to the north of the Chaos Territory is the Silver City-State of the Mage Country, although the Silver City-State itself also has one of the five major auction houses, the "Alchemy Hand Auction House", but there are also a lot of disgraceful good things for the Chaos Territory in private.
Especially because of some previous filth, the silver city-state and the only and strongest empire on the mainland, the Holy Griffin Empire, became at odds with each other and fell into a cold war, so the Jinbei Principality sandwiched between the two naturally became a private communication bridge, after all, the magic props of the silver city-state are excellent things.
The vast resources and market of the Holy Griffin Empire are also something that stubborn mages are unwilling to give up, after all, most mages need a lot of gold to buy magic books or materials to do magic experiments.
Even high-level mages are very fond of gold, and it is important to know that the greatest wish of every high-level mage is probably to build a magic tower of his own. However, the price of a magic tower is very valuable, and even if the high-level mages are amazingly powerful and have an advantage over most professions, only a small number of mages still have their own magic towers. One can imagine how many magical alchemy items flow out of the silver city-state every year.
To the east is the Hell in the middle of the sea, where the demons are located, and the demons are notorious for their strength and evil, as well as their despicable personalities. They love destruction, they are truly hated, and even the outlaws of the Chaos Realm don't like demons.
Because they're a bunch of bastards, moody and treacherous.
However, the Hell in the Sea has a lot of sulfur and mercury, and of course, many other minerals, which are good raw materials for making alchemy equipment.
This is also the idea that led the silver city-state to be crazy for a period of time and wanted to enter the Hell in the Heart of the Sea, of course, this is also just imagination, because when the demons were crisscrossing the continent, they destroyed the former Seven Cities Alliance, which was the predecessor of the Silver City-State, so the mages of the academy really didn't dare to attack the Hell in the Heart of the Sea, or the demons were eager to cause a big war, and when the seal was broken, the demons would jump out and destroy the world again.
And at this time, the Chaos Realm played an important role, and the Chaos Realm merchants, who were not afraid of death, went to hell for their business, after all, the seal of hell was for demons and not humans.
Therefore, a large number of hellish products were smuggled to other parts of the world through the Chaos Realm, of course, most of the things were bought at a high price by the silver city-state, after all, although the silver city-state has a prosperous magical civilization, but the resource consumption is particularly large, but its own land area is not large, the resources are poor, and a large number of materials have to be imported from other places, if it were not for the alchemy equipment of the mages is really high-end items, very valuable, the silver city-state may be a country that is directly bankrupt.
Therefore, the demon's move may have indirectly helped the silver city-state, and I really don't know which side of the two sides took advantage. However, as a middleman, the Chaos Collar and the Principality of Jinbei naturally made a lot of transfer fees from it.
Not to mention the south, where the Great Swamp of Tataria is controlled by the Chaos Lord, and most of the things produced by the Swamp Clan have to be contributed to the Chaos Lord. And as one of the rulers of the swamp, the Nine Snake Tribe did not dare to resist, after all, the strength of the entire Chaos Territory was much stronger than that of the Nine Snake Tribe.
Moreover, as a member of the Selved family, the Nine Snakes tribe handed over the least offerings, and most of them were passed on to the rebels, and the Nine Snakes tribe profited from it and grew stronger.
It's just that as the tribe gets bigger and bigger, the benefits of the Nine Snakes tribe naturally decrease, and they even have to hand over more offerings, because most of the tribes have become members of the Nine Snakes, so they naturally can't be squeezed anymore.
And those who did not belong to the Nine Snakes tribe were either wiped out or hid in the depths of the swamp. It is said that a United Council of Tartaglia was formed there, ready to rebel against the oppression of the Nine Serpents.
With so many resources provided, the auction of the "Crystal Key Auction House" has a wide variety of auctions, and there are many special commodities that are not available in other places, so there are many sacred griffin empires, the principality of Jinbei, the silver city-states and even the Naga clan in the West Sea, the evil wolf and bull principality in the center of the continent, and the falcon principality in the westernmost part of the continent are all thousands of miles away to participate in the auction.
Of course, the "Crystal Key Auction House" sells high-end auction items, so you can also buy items in the free market of the six race regions, and it is also a good experience to shop there, because there are many strange items there, but the price is not high, maybe you can buy an old treasure at a low price.
For example, the No. 1 area where humans are located, which is called "Paradise", is usually used to satirize the Church of Light, which occupies most of the beliefs of human beings, and it can be said that most of the guys who wander to the City of Chaos are all arrested by the church, and it is not a day or two for the church to be in cahoots with the nobles.
In the Chaos Realm, humans occupy most of the foreign trade, and the One Piece of the Sea, the largest queen of the four seas, is the Terrans, the White Knight Addams, known as the Enemy of Light. It is said that he actually molested the Holy Maiden of Light, and as a result, he was hunted down by four of the twelve cardinals of the Church of Light and did not die.
Of course, it is rumored that he himself is also the son of a cardinal of the Church of Light, so he was not killed, anyway, as the second-ranked person on the hunt and kill order of the Church of Light, he can be regarded as a well-deserved awesome figure.
Area 2 is a "terrifying relief" composed of swamp people, and the Nine Snakes tribe has basically occupied all places. However, there is also the House of Witches, the Cursed Dolls, where you can buy a lot of practical cursed items, even if they are expensive, they are very popular with the nobles, and these "cute little things" are indispensable in the power struggle in the family.
Area 3 is a "totem enclosure" where barbarians and orcs mingle, and it is inhabited by bold and simple orcs, although your tongue may be more powerful, but the orcs' fists are not easy to mess with. Maybe you can try to be bold, and the same bold orcs might invite you for a drink and do business with you next time.
On the opposite side of the orcs are the demons of chaos and evil, although hell is sealed, there are always some demons who come to the main world from other places, and there are many demons left in the world when the demons invade, so most of the remaining demons have come to the realm of chaos.
Demons are always very wealthy, who calls the abyss a large number of rare minerals. You know, it's like the coal bosses somewhere on the planet, they're all local tyrants.
So you can earn a lot of tips for running errands for the demons or something. Of course, you don't want to slaughter simple orcs like that, because although the lower demons are as stupid as pigs, the higher demons are more cunning than human merchants, so I advise you not to mess with demons.
And the "Doomsday Paradise" where the demons are located is the only place in the entire chaotic city that has not been controlled by the Selved family, because of the chaotic and evil nature of the demons, it is impossible for you to expect them to obey the order, killing and destruction are what they want, so if you want to enter the "Doomsday Paradise", I am afraid that the slightest strength will be torn to pieces by the demons.
Fortunately, the high-level demons still have some wisdom, as long as they don't have a brain pump, they basically won't go crazy outside the chaotic city, but once they start a rush, the damage caused is much more terrifying, so the Selvid family has to send a large number of people to guard outside the "Doomsday Paradise".
Sectors 5 and 6 are actually connected together, as the Dark Elves and the Undead all hate the sun, and the demons' flames are so dazzling that the Dark Elves' "Temple of Fall" is far away from the "Doomsday Paradise" where the demons are.
Luckily, the undead's high-level magical dark canopy can block out the sun. So you can see a large area of black clouds in the sky northwest of the City of Chaos.
The "Hall of the Fallen" is actually a good place to shop, the Dark Elves have artistic abilities that are not inferior to the Nature's Elves, and the special style of the Evil is highly sought after by the Chaos Lords. At the same time, the dark elves of the silver chaos can also satisfy your physical **.
Finally, the "Lost Cemetery" where the most mysterious undead clan is located, the undead as a race that everyone shouts and fights on the road, the war to destroy the country 10,000 years ago, and the Church of Light became the state religion of the Holy Griffin Empire, the heresy crusade issued against the undead, coupled with the pursuit of the old rival silver city-state of the necromancers, gradually disappeared from the continent.
The only place to be able to find it is in the Chaos Realm, where the thugs gather. However, the evil undead have also promoted a major rebellion, wanting to overthrow the rule of the Selved family, known as the "Lich Revolt", it is said that the undead lich, hunted by the Church of Light, fled to the Chaos Realm, and was dissatisfied with the rule of Selved, and wanted to fight against the Selved family.
However, the rebellion was quickly put down when a leader of House Selved slain the lich on his own. Although the undead usually do not operate in other vibrant areas, the undead have a pirate king of the Sea of Chaos, and the undead pirate ship is also a world-famous horror existence, especially the establishment of the Chaos Sea, and the undead fleet guarding the Chaos Territory has become a nightmare for all opponents of the Selvid family.
The undead are not so difficult to reach, necromancers are usually obsessed with spell research, so they often send out quests to collect materials, and the alchemy products of the undead are also surprisingly effective in battles, so although the undead sound terrible, they seem to be peaceful in the realm of chaos.
The City of Chaos is such a city full of wealth and blood, but it is also full of exotic charm and entertainment with all kinds of entertainment.
And our protagonist Xiao Shumad is about to set foot in this city, and he will become the heir of the Selved family, who control the city, what will this city bring him to feel like amazingly?
