Chapter 155: The Slums
(Friends, monthly pass!) Book friends who read stolen stickers, come to the starting point to shop if you have time! )
Morel Manor, in the Château of Madame Winley.
Today's Mrs. Wen Li is wearing a short black skirt, a tulle cape, under the thin gauze, snow-white breasts and smooth long legs looming, sitting on a soft chair, pinning her legs, the shadow of the spring light, makes people's hearts beat faster.
"I really didn't expect that in just a few days, Passas would fall into your hands." Mrs. Wen Li said, "At the moment, we are actively taking action, collecting a lot of small tricks of family council members, but it doesn't play a big role after all, and now that Passas is missing, maybe we can force some people to make mistakes in their busyness, this is the opportunity you said!" ”
Listening to Mrs. Wen Li's gentle words, Alan nodded seriously, this countess really has her own ideas.
"Madame doesn't think I'm doing something wrong, after all, I have secretly detained a nobleman, which is a felony." Alan asked tentatively.
Who knew that Mrs. Wen Li smiled: "I think when you decided to detain him, you knew that I would definitely support you." ”
Hearing this, Alan was grateful, and with a smile, he bowed.
Madame Wen Li said: "Passas is a nobleman, even an important member of my Morel family, but he went out without reporting it, and was finally arrested by the circus and the masked man, I don't know about it. Wen Li squinted her eyes and smiled very goodly, saying this, it can be regarded as a complete acquiescence to Allen's imprisonment of Passas, and she secretly had the intention of helping Allen shirk it.
"If Mrs. Wen Li has such an attitude, I am relieved, then in the next few days, I will collect evidence as soon as possible to expose the evil side of Passas."
"Okay." Mrs. Wen Li said. "Report anything in time, and if you need me, just ask."
Alan thanked him and said, "Circus party, I have a key piece of evidence that can identify most of Victor's minions in the Golden City. If the opportunity is right, I'm going to wipe out all of them. ”
Wen Liyiqi: "Have you changed your mind?" The result of our previous deliberations. Isn't it a temporary avoidance? ”
Madame Winley's questioning of this shows two things: first, the countess was not angry at Allen's private change of plans; Second, Wen Li is willing to let Allen take the lead in many things. Every spellcaster is a wise person, not to mention Wen Li's trust and love for this child.
Since the attack on Lady Winley, Alan has experienced something more. Compared to before, Allendo has been helped by the two strong men of Sochi and Parr, and the circus is now basically on the opposite side of the abyss, and Mr. Ryan has returned to the city. Do the math, the strength that Eren can borrow in this city is not necessarily weaker than Victor.
The individual is weak, but the situation can be controlled. Here is the difference between going it alone and taking advantage of the situation.
In addition, judging from the attack on the Knight of Cayton and the curse of Lady Winry. Nowadays, the forces in the Golden City have great characteristics, and they lack the ability to do things. anticlimactic; Second, the scheduling ability is insufficient, and it is difficult to form a sustained strike, otherwise Alan would not be so idle these days; Thirdly, the organization is loose, and the quality of many adventurers who carry out tasks on the front line is extremely low.
At the same time, these characteristics of the abyss forces explain several other things.
First things first. Most of Victor's mental strength was indeed not in the Golden City, and according to the experience of his previous life, his abacus was indeed still north of the Skader Mountains. Otherwise, with this guy's true strength, I'm afraid many things won't give up. The second thing is that the abyssal minions in the Golden City are not centripetal enough. There are doubts about Victor's true heritage, and he only cares about obtaining immediate vested interests, and his loyalty to Victor is very average.
Since this is the case, Alan wants to give it a try, and strive to eliminate or expel all of them.
Conservative first, then proactive, this is the sense of smell on the battlefield. Take a step forward, if it's not right, and then go back, you won't lose too much. But if the strategic goal is really achieved, then the market left by Victor is also a generous gift.
……
At the same time that Alan and Mrs. Wen Li discussed the future situation.
A crowded, damp slum in the Golden City. Dirty streets, smelly air, foul domestic water, and narrow alleys make up a scene of hardship.
There are 20 million people living in the Golden City, but there is no place for the poor, and in a low-lying area that is not very vast, hundreds of thousands of low houses are close together, feeding countless people.
It's like a scar in the Golden City, the slightest movement will be lifted, and it will be full of rotten flesh and pus.
Extortion, fraud, theft, and all sorts of flesh deals pervade this almost endless shack area. It was nearly dusk, the busiest time of the day in the Golden City, but here, apart from the gray sky, the rest was all kinds of absurd things.
And in this poor and congested place, a group of gangsters and ruffians who usually seem to be flying and domineering are running.
Some had long clubs in their hands, others had hammers in their hands, but without exception, their faces were terrified.
"Ghosts! Possessed by a ghost! ”
"Oh my God, run, don't let him catch up!"
A group of people crawled and rolled, even if they fell below their knees, bruised their foreheads, and ran like crazy with their hands and feet. Everyone did not dare to stay for a moment, and the adrenaline stimulated them to run wild in the narrow slums.
And just as everyone was about to run through an intersection, suddenly, a pair of red and dirty hands suddenly burst out of the thin door panel of a house, and immediately grabbed the last young man in the team, and the hand pierced into the back of the ruffian's heart with unmistakable accuracy, and when he landed, a beating heart was forcibly withdrawn.
"Demons! It's the devil! The rest of the ruffians continued to shout frantically, not caring for their companions, and six or seven of them continued to run. But at this moment, a wisp of blue and black smoke came out of the door panel, and the six or seven people were about to be enveloped, and the ruffians couldn't run anymore if they wanted to run.
Inside the door, a young man with blond hair and wearing a magic swordsman's costume. His eyes were gray, and there were streams of black blood flowing from his mouth, and he was coldly gnawing on a heart. Beside him, lying a woman and two small children, were the owners of the house. It's long gone.
The ghost possessed swordsman was none other than Jin Wei, a swordsman who appeared in the circus last night. At this time, his body is being occupied by Victor's general, the 10,000-year-old ghost "Stirling". When Sterling first came to Divine Grace last night, he didn't expect that as soon as Fang appeared, he was besieged and killed by a clown and a young man dressed as a demon.
It only took two rounds to lose the battle and flee the scene in a frenzy.
After leaving the forest, Sterling felt the strong aura of life in the south and flew down. Settle in a slum. In order to repair the damage caused by the storm that crossed the plane, Sterling walked more than a dozen kilometers overnight, and at least 3,000 people were killed along the way.
Panic is spreading dramatically.
At this time, Sterling did not realize what earth-shattering changes his crazy actions had brought to the City of Gold. Even forgot about Victor's commands. Be sure to keep a low profile!
An unexpected change!
The plane turmoil seems to have changed Sterling's heart!
This 10,000-year-old ghost is like an ownerless demon. Raging everywhere.
In troubled times, the demise of 3,000 people may cause anger and cause sorrow. Many people will only say that the war is relentless, pitiful.
In the heyday. The demise of 3,000 people is a provocation, a massacre, and a declaration of war!
This, means war!
Even in the slums. Three thousand people are also very precious.
What's more, this is a city of gold known for its prosperity! It is one of the six cities that the human race in the Divine Grace Continent is most proud of! Prosperity and stability are the main tones here.
In one day, countless news was spread to the city defense team, and even the Grand Duke Enriquez, the city lord's mansion, was also alarmed. Just when Sterling was regaining his strength at a cost, a group of Xiao Yong's capable guards were pouring into this place!
At the same time, the members of the Round Table received an angry order from Victor.
Victor issued his highest ****** and asked all his men in the Golden City to go out and find the circus, find Passas, and reclaim the Eye of Scouting. And look for a magic swordsman with a ghostly aura.
It turned out that Victor had lost contact with Sterling......
At this moment, the death knight did not realize that a storm was coming.
……
In Morrell's manor, Alan had a detailed conversation with Lady Winley, and was equally unaware of what was happening in the slums.
"Madam, it's not too early, I think I should also take my leave." Alan Dao.
"Oh? Are you going to the Hunter's Bar meet-and-greet you just mentioned? Mrs. Wen Li said.
"Yes!" Alan said as he took out a map from the ring, as well as a gray-black irregular rune stone weighing about 1 kilogram, "This is a spatial teleportation stone, fixed in many remote locations in the Golden City. If Mrs. Winley is attacked, she can leave through this stone. At these points, I have arranged for people I can trust to guard them, and someone will take them. ”
"Okay." Wen Li accepted the rune stone, put it in her arms and touched it, "I am waiting for the news of your victory." One more thing, your canonization ceremony is ready. The enclosed specifications, territories, and participants are all ready. For your consecration ceremony, I intend to invite the Grand Knights of the Grand Duke's Mansion of Enriquez and the dignitaries of Berkeley Mansion, both of whom will be invited by Avalo and you at that time. ”
"Right now, you've been knighted as a Guardian Knight. The Earl's Patron Knight, whose status is equivalent to that of a baron, and you are a spellcaster yourself, I believe that in the near future, you will get a new promotion. ”
Alan nodded in gratitude.
On the Divine Grace Continent, the aristocratic system is extremely strict. If a new nobleman wants to obtain a knighthood, he must not only have the support of his own feudal lord, but also the approval of all the influential noble forces around him. Otherwise, not only will there be nowhere to expand the territory, but even if you travel, you will be ridiculed by others, and there will be no aristocratic spirit at all.
Of course, in the past history of divine grace, there is no shortage of adventurers who have proclaimed themselves nobles and built their own fiefs. But these feudal lords generally have no supporting forces, nor do they have the support of the principality, and most of them end badly, and can only end up gloomily under the rejection of the nobles and the invasion of the orcs. However, if such a wild lord can persevere, it will generally be recognized by the third generation, and some principalities will even take the initiative to come to the door to accept the feud in order to expand their territory.
It can be seen that even among powerful adventurers, the aristocratic tradition is still very marketable.
In this land, the aristocratic ideology has a far-reaching influence, and everyone has a very deep-rooted heart, and it may be difficult to change it in a short period of time.
After Alan said goodbye to Mrs. Wen Li, he met with Avalo's butler again and told him about the teleportation circle again. When Avalo heard this, he was happy in his heart, and said: "Okay, good, with this set of things, the contact between us is much easier." ”
Alan smiled when he heard this: "There is something I want to trouble the housekeeper. ”
"These days, I've got an extra bunch of stalkers behind me. I'm now followed by a group of Assassins, and I suspect they all have a lot of crimes on their backs. Therefore, it is hoped that Mr. Avalo will be able to use some strength to wipe them out. In addition to a few people around me, near the mage manor in the south of the city, there may be stalkers, please also ask the housekeeper to help solve it! Alan said seriously.
In Allen's view, a reshuffle between the nobles is about to begin, and at the moment, any person's mistake can be fatal. Alan has one and one, starting from the stalkers around him, and he is not clearly aimed at the abyss, as for the follow-up, he can only wait for development.
Avalo listened attentively, shocked and readily agreed to Alan's request.
In order to paralyze the tracker, Alan did not leave the gate, activated the spatial teleportation, and in an instant, jumped dozens of kilometers.
And tonight, Viscount Clément received news that after the target entered the city lord's mansion of Morel, he did not come out all night, and was suspected of spending the night in the castle. (To be continued.) )
