Black Lake City is one of the three major cities of the Purple Tulip Principality, and belongs to the capital of Tempest County on the northern border of the Principality. Because it is adjacent to the Black Lake, which is almost like the sea, and there is a long river flowing through the wasteland by the city walls, it not only fertilizes a large amount of land, but also makes Black Lake City's trade and light industry one of the best among the nearby principalities.

There is a rich fishery in the Black Lake, and it is also due to the large inland lake, generally there will be no strong winds and waves on the lake, except for a large number of reefs and reefs in the area, and the bottom of the ship is easy to collide and silent, basically the entire Black Lake is a commercial hub that communicates the three principalities.

However, because of the development of the lake, there are also a large number of pirates living on the small islands shrouded by reefs and reefs in the Black Lake, but due to the historical grievances of the three principalities and the natural border boundary of the Black Lake, the degree of collection of the pirates in the Black Lake by the three principalities is also quite poor.

Of course, the Purple Tulip Principality is also directly close to the Great Northern Wilderness, and the threat from the alien race is directly facing the Tempest County, and the Black Lake City has a semi-military structure from the beginning of its construction, looking at the huge masonry city wall that is thirteen meters high and more than five meters wide, as well as the seventeen or eighteen-meter-high watchtower and arrow tower, you can understand that this city is not only regarded as an administrative capital, it is also built as a semi-permanent fortress.

In particular, the two huge King Kong City Gates are directly made of pig iron and cast iron blocks, and the heavy ones will even weigh more than ten tons, even if the seven or eight meter-high wasteland monsters bombard this King Kong City Gate with all their might, I am afraid it will have no effect, because just behind the Golden Harbor City Gate, it is not only the three steel main gates, but also the more than ten iron gates as support and fixation.

Even the top of the tower, which is built every eight meters, is not an ordinary archer station, but a small trebuchet is directly placed. At the edge of the city wall next to the trebuchet is a specially built landing machine, which can be used to quickly transport small and hard and heavy stone bullets at any time and place.

Even if it is a slightly protruding place on the city wall, there are bed crossbows for flat fire, and sharp spears two meters long, even if they are strong orc warriors, if they stand neatly, they will be instantly penetrated two, and even bed crossbows equipped with special spearheads, even some weaker bipedal wyverns will be directly pierced by the hard spearhead, and the body will be severely slammed to the ground and die miserably.

Even at night, the walls of the entire Black Lake City are still tightly protected, at least two city defense troops are carefully watching for any unexpected situation, and secretly there are three city defense troops on standby at any time, after all, the heart of the entire Tempest County is the city under their feet, if something happens, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Tempest County.

However, the night was so thick that even the moon in the sky was covered by some dark clouds, and the whole land instantly fell into a faint darkness, although there were still soldiers in Black Lake City holding torches and patrolling the curfew, but for them, they still had to be careful of any dark areas.

Even in Black Lake City, there are thieves' unions, especially this group of people who believe in the god of shadows, but not just for the little money in other people's homes and pockets, if there is a huge amount of money and the ideal number in their hearts, even the powerful magicians and knights, and even the supreme kings under the divine power, they will assassinate you part-time.

Especially Black Lake City, the capital of Northern Tempest County, is still quite important for this kind of thing at night. The guys in the Thieves Guild didn't accept the task of the human family, even if it was a hostile force such as an alien orc, as long as there were enough shiny gold coins, the outlaws in the Thieves' Guild didn't care who assassinated.

"It's going to rain, let's patrol quickly."

The soldiers who were patrolling looked up at the sky, but found that a wind that seemed to come from the sky was whistling and blowing in an instant, slapping Black Lake City, and a certain chill of autumn made them involuntarily wrap themselves in the iron-clad armor on their bodies, but this kind of armor is not as warm as their daily clothes, and they all walked quickly, expecting to quickly return to their warm barracks.

As for the curfew, it's not just them, in fact, there are sentry posts at all important regional intersections in Black Lake City, and there are one or two militiamen stationed in them, who will immediately shout loudly whenever there is a situation. Although the effect of fire prevention and the like is better, it still has a certain warning effect.

"Well, okay, let's go quickly."

The patrol captain squinted slightly, holding his one-handed sword in his hand, looked at a lane not far away suspiciously, but found nothing, or shook his head and walked forward with the team first, feeling the cold night, he spat and foamed at the distance not far away, and scolded in a low voice: "Why hasn't it been autumn this year, and it's starting to be so cold at night?" ”

His low scolding also caused the other soldiers to echo the voice, and they all walked up quickly, and they didn't pay much attention to the dark lanes on both sides of the road, in fact, it didn't make much difference to them even if they paid close attention, there were many dark places in the entire Black Lake City, if they really wanted to carry out a sweep, I was afraid that the city lord would be able to sweep out a large area of dirty elements with an order.

However, after the fact, some industries in the entire Black Lake City will be hit hard, and the survival of some dark sides is also related to the daily peaceful life, and it is quite important. At least this group of soldiers understands that if they really want to investigate certain places, even the usually high-ranking city lord must deal with these problems carefully.

"Hmm, are you going to kill them?"

In the dark alleyway, a voice suddenly appeared, and then a hazy figure appeared in the darkness, a pair of eyes opened immediately, it was a person wrapped in black clothes, and in his hand, I don't know when a dagger had appeared, jet black, and the surrounding darkness perfectly blended together.

But he didn't make much moves, just turned his head to look outside, the fast-moving patrol, with some disdain in his eyes, gently put away his dagger, with some jealousy in his eyes, turned his head and said: "They are far away, if we can, we can still catch up and kill them." ”

And just after he finished saying this, nine faint black figures also appeared behind him, standing straight with each other, with a certain coldness in their eyes, which was indifferent to life.

They are the kings of the darkness, professional assassins from the Thieves' Guild, who believe in the god of shadows, and they can feel the divine power from the god of shadows at night, fused in the darkness, and they will gain powerful and strange powers. However, these forces are not enough to make them arrogant.

"This time, you only need to obey me, a noble blood-red mage."

Gentle footsteps sounded in the alleyway, and then a ghostly light instantly lit up at the end of the alleyway, and a person shrouded in a robe held the ghostly light and walked gently, but the footsteps were not loud, but the rhythmic footsteps made the group of assassins dressed in black have even more jealousy in their eyes.

PS: Ahem, begging for tickets, begging for tickets, I didn't get up at five o'clock this morning, I heard the bell and turned it off directly, rub and rub, I'm angry, and it will definitely not be like this next time
