The city of wealth, the capital of sin.

No one remembers what the name of the city was, they only knew that it was a place beyond the reach of the law.

That's not to say they don't follow any laws – on the contrary, people who live here need to memorize the rules and incorporate them into every detail of their lives.

Because in this city, the laws of both Caral and Farajo are null and void. Correspondingly, each district and even each street of the city has its own separate prohibitions.

The more lawless it is, the more authoritative the few prohibitions that remain.

If anyone does not understand why the City of Fortune can maintain such an ingenious equilibrium in such a chaotic state that it has not been destroyed for decades or even nearly a hundred years, then he would do well to listen to the three first and final laws of the City of Fortune when it was founded:

If it is not discovered, it is not a crime;

If you are not prosecuted, you are not allowed to pursue it;

If you cannot prove yourself innocent, you are automatically considered guilty.

Basically, anyone in the City of Wealth can find a reason for his guilt and can also see him as innocent. There is even a saying that "the devil will be arrested when he comes here".

Of course, this kind of law, which can be called a sick brain, also has a basis for its birth.

At that time, Caral had just become independent from Bansa, and his background was as thin as paper. It is nominally a principality, but it has no arable land, no citizens, no laws, and an empty treasury, and there is only one armed force that can be called an army, and even the officials are one person who holds several positions.

Even with the protection of those druids, Caral's independence is still not favored by others, and is not even recognized by other countries. Because Caral is a vassal state of Bansar, if Bansar suddenly does not recognize Khal's independent status one day, he can directly send troops to attack Karal - it is almost certain that Bansar will turn his face sooner or later. And Bansa is really going to turn his face, and Karaal is powerless to resist even if he is protected by a druid.

In fact, as early as the War of the Gods, the Druid, as the defeated party, was expelled by the alliance of the gods and forced to swear that if he clashed head-on with the army of the gods, he would definitely lose.

In general, the intelligence ministries of various countries believe that the reason why the druids were able to go to war was mainly because Bansa did not send the Templar army to the front line at all. After all, no one could have imagined that the druids, who had been expelled for more than a hundred years, would suddenly appear.

Because the Templars are very pretentious, they must fight near their god's temple to have the most powerful combat power, and unlike the priest who can communicate with his god anytime and anywhere, they can only contact the god at a fixed time every day and restore their god power when their perception attribute is slightly worse. Moreover, different gods have different moments of perception, which is extremely inconvenient when marching.

So if it doesn't come to the last minute, they are all responsible for the defense task, especially the defense of important areas such as the national capital.

It is precisely because the druids cannot face the formed temple army head-on that Caral must expel all the priests so that the druids can protect the country normally; It was precisely because the druids could not face the temple army that after the army of ordinary people was destroyed, Karaal was so easily destroyed by the Lord of Violence.

Everyone, even Carraar's own people, believed that making Caral a state was just a delaying ploy by Bansa. Once Bansar's intelligence learned that the only garrison in Khalar was a group of druids, Bansar would simply send the Templars out on the expedition, and the newly established Khalar would be shredded like papier-mâché.

To put it mildly, those passionate brains that were roasted by the flames of war cooled down but still resolutely chose to stay in Carral, and the rest of them except for the opportunists were true love.

But when it comes to opportunists, one has to say about such a group of people.

At a time when everyone is not optimistic about Carlar's independence, a strange brigade sees a wonderful opportunity in the crumbling Carral.

The brigade consisted of a liar, a murderer, a trafficker, a bandit, a cultist, and a madman. They donated a large sum of money to Carral, buying permanent control of the most marginal and barren land in Carral for nearly three times the normal price.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Suze declared war on Bansa. In this war, Bansa has expended so much of his strength that he has not had time to take care of Karar, who has been silent and seems to be well-behaved for a long time. But when Bansar regained his strength, Caral survived the most difficult period and got on the right track - so Bansar still couldn't do anything to Carral.

And that land later became famous—or notorious—the City of Wealth. Attracted by those three laws, countless conspirators from other countries, wanted criminals, cultists with ten death sentences, and aristocrats who had temporarily lost their political struggles joined here. Rather, the first six died in the laws they had set themselves.

Since then, it's completely borderland.

Because of the intertwining of various forces, even involving members of the ruling families of several countries, Caral is afraid to take back the land easily.

It is a paradise for liars, a hunting ground for murderers, and a missionary sanctuary for cultists. Thieves and arms dealers are as cute and harmless as sheep here.

As long as you have the money, spending time here will be the most luxurious and at the same time the most dangerous experience of your life.

Generally speaking, some of the great powers give their heirs a sum of money, and then distribute them to the city of wealth for a period of time when they reach adulthood.

During this time, they do not have any protection from the family, nor do they enjoy any support from the family. Anyone who can't help but be tempted. Confused, spend all the money early, or be cheated or robbed - in short, those who can't live to the appointed day, even if they can get out alive, basically have no chance of inheritance. Those who cannot resist the temptation, or who do not have enough intelligence and force to protect themselves, will only lose their family property even if they are lucky enough to get the inheritance.

And those who not only do not spend all the money they have brought, but can earn money from the city of wealth are undoubtedly powerful. This means that they already have the ability to survive in the city of wealth, and even if there is a difference between them and their fathers' abilities, it will not be very different-

"I don't know why Uncle Marcus suddenly wanted us here."

Loud complaints came from the front.

"Look away, Sister Nia, Uncle Marcus won't hurt us," followed by an energetic voice, "at least there's a lot of fun here, isn't it?" ”

"Don't compare me to you brainless stinky men," the first voice rebuked harshly, "I've asked Uncle Marcus, and he says it's very dangerous here, and we need to be careful. It is better to go to him as soon as you enter the city. ”

"No matter how dangerous it is, can you cross the battlefield dangerously?" The energetic voice was visibly disapproving, "I don't believe what this scum can do to me until the heavy cavalry of the Titans has killed me. ”

Attracted by these two voices, the eyes of everyone around them turned to them.

That was undisguised ill-will. If the malice in his eyes had temperature, these two people would not even have a single ash left at this moment.

“…… In short, it's better to be careful. ”

I probably felt something bad about it, and after a little hesitation, the caustic voice weakened.

"Coward," the energetic voice snorted disdainfully, "I'm going out for a good time tonight, sister, just say you won't come." ”

"Who are the cowards? I'm just worried that you won't have enough money to pay my share and then someone will deduct your fingers! ”

Not to be outdone, the sharp female voice immediately responded.

"Heh, two chicks."

Cruvien and Roland sat face to face in the carriage. Hearing the undisguised noise coming from behind him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

The City of Fortune is a place where individual force is of little use unless you reach the Golden Tier. What's more, just by listening to the voice, Kruvien could conclude that the two people behind him were definitely no more than twenty years old.

It's already good for a person of this age to have the strength of the Black Iron Rank. One of the elders of their family didn't seem to have the good intentions to tell them about the peculiarity of this place......

It's about a struggle for power.

Kruvine could almost be sure that the two little ones behind him would not survive tonight.

The group of people who stared at the two children with vulture-like eyes had to do exactly what they did like vultures.

But when he turned his attention back, he suddenly found that his "female companion" was taking out a letter of faith and looking at the light.

"Herlan, what are you doing?"

He asked, puzzled.

The black-haired girl looked back and showed an incomparably innocent smile, but the voice that came out of her mouth was hoarse and magnetic: "Some preliminary preparations, that's it." ”

"That's the letter of introduction that Falina prepared for you?"

Kruvine frowned, "I said something unpleasant, that woman's thing ......"

"It's better not to touch it, right?" Roland interrupted him unceremoniously, "Of course I know about this. So I took out this letter to do something else. ”

"One more thing?"

"That's right. I'm just going to see if there's any mention of one person or two people in this letter," Roland pointed the letter at the light and looked at it carefully, "There's no doubt that Farina must have set up a magic circle that will automatically burn when you open the envelope." What's more, in order to ensure that the spontaneous combustion of the letter would not be intercepted by others, and then traced back to her through the remains of the letter, Falina could only use oil-soaked paper as a medium, which would be burned out instantly. ”

However, she apparently ignored that the oil-soaked paper would transmit light—no, not so much that she ignored it, but that she was confident, and through the encryption of the code words she wrote, even if I could think of it and read the whole letter with a beam of light, I wouldn't find the trap she hid in the codeword. Only her sincerity and kindness will be seen. ”

"In that case, if I had given this letter to the guards when I could not enter the city, or had delivered it to her property, as she had said, I would not have known how I had died until I died—oh yes, it is more likely that life would be worse than death."

Speaking of this, Roland sneered and put the letter down.

"But she didn't know that not only did I know the people of the City of Fortune who could take me into the city, but I also knew the code words she had devoted," Roland put on a black trench coat and put the letter in his bosom, then straightened up slightly to get out of the carriage, "Let me tell her that it's okay to disguise the assassination, and to plan thousands of miles away—she's really not this material." ”

"Wait! Herland! Where are you going?! ”

Kruvien subconsciously clenched the doorknob: "It's easy for you to cause trouble when you appear outside!" ”

Roland looked back and smiled maliciously. But the smile became sweet as a flower in an instant, and there was not even a trace of gloom: "I'm just going to give someone's letter of introduction to someone who needs it more." ”

…… Besides, I'm really here to cause trouble.

Roland silently added a sentence in his heart.
