Chapter I: Wanted Notices
Scarrid City is a small city in the Realm of Chaos near the Southern Cross Forest, and it has almost no permanent population except for the heads of large and small shops, but it is still quite a thriving city as one of the few small towns near the Southern Cross Forest that is fully equipped.
There is only one bar in the town, and it is a branch of the largest chain bar in mainland China. Only a wealthy goblin bar would dare to open a branch in such a chaotic place. A team of uniformed city guards lazily passed by and posted a half-person-tall notice on the notice board in front of the bar. Then he continued to walk lazily.
Although they are the guards of the Chaos Lord, everyone knows that they don't care about anything at all, and their only job is to put up notices and collect taxes. So all the people passing by paid no attention to them. This is the Realm of Chaos!
Most of the people who come to Scarrid City are adventurers and mercenaries, and the fairy bars in cities that don't have a dedicated mercenary union double as mercenary union offices, and Scarrid is like this. That's why the leprechaun bar is the most populated place in the city, and the town's bulletin board is also located here. Seeing that the new notice was posted, many people gathered around.
This is a wanted warrant, there is no such thing as a wanted warrant in the Realm of Chaos, and there is no law at all in other towns except for a limited number of large cities. And if you commit a crime in those big cities, you will basically be dead, and you will not have a chance to be on the wanted warrant again. The wanted warrant was issued by the Northeast Province of the Moyue Empire, and a young man named Filch was wanted.
The wanted warrant contains some information about the offender and a portrait. The portrait is distorted, and has no effect other than silver-gray hair and green eyes, which prove that he is a young Wolfe. However, the information below is somewhat useful.
Filch, male, Wolf Clan. At the age of nineteen, he was born in the military. Excellent magic martial arts, a warrior level martial artist, once won the top 16 in the mainland elite exchange competition, and his combat skills are extremely good. Nickname: Full Moon Scimitar. A bounty of up to 200,000 gold coins!
The specific criminal record is not written, only the crime, blasphemy!
The Moyue Empire is a **** country, and the status of the temple in the country is not inferior or even better than that of the royal family. Even the emperor had to be the first to salute when facing the Pope. The entire Bimeng clan is a fanatical believer in the God of War, even the Emperor himself, so blasphemy can be said to be the biggest crime of the Moyue Empire. It's better than killing the king
Seeing the reward of 200,000 yuan, many adventurers were very excited, but seeing the level of the earth fighter, most adventurers were not interested. Although adventurers are generally good, those with intermediate titles are already good, and those with senior titles are already outstanding. The Earth Fighter level is not something that ordinary adventurers can afford to provoke.
The adventurers and mercenaries dispersed, revealing a single figure. The whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and it was vaguely obvious that the figure was that of a man. The hood of the cloak obscured most of his face, revealing only a thin chin and a bit of grayish hair peeking out of the hood. Faintly visible under the cloak, he hung two strangely shaped scimitars like crescent moons around his waist.
"Filch......" the man muttered softly, his voice very young. He stood under the notice board for a moment, and then strode into the bar. The bar was noisy, with shouting and drinking, flirting with the nightingale, and a few playing cards. No one paid attention to the man coming in. Although the men's outfits are somewhat special, they are not uncommon in the Realm of Chaos.
The man found a seat, sat down at the counter, took out a copper and threw it to the bartender: "Ale!"
"Poor ghost!" the bartender, a Mauss rat Beamon, took the copper coin, and complained quietly, and obediently offered a large glass of ale, the cheapest one.
The black-robed man didn't know if he heard the bartender's taunt, but in short, he was indifferent, brought the ale, and half dried it in one gulp.
"Have you heard, this year's Elite Exchange Competition, the Elemental Queen is going to attend as a judge!" a mercenary and his companion argued: "Good girl, eighteen-year-old judge, unprecedented, right?"
"Alas, he was the champion of the last year, and he won all the way, and I don't know if he was promoted to the magician. Another mercenary interjected.
"What an elemental queen, it's an elemental demon girl!" Another young mercenary heard this, and scolded hatefully: "In the last exchange competition, I was ranked in the first round, otherwise it would definitely not be so miserable, maybe I will be one of the top thirty-two." ”
"It's you, it's still thirty-two!" the other mercenary pouted disdainfully.
"What's the matter, don't accept it, go out and practice!" the young mercenary said noisily, obviously drinking a lot of wine, blushing and arguing.
"Alright, don't be scared. An older mercenary waved his hand. He obviously had some status, and the mercenaries were all quiet, only the young mercenary was still scolding in a whisper. The older mercenary ignored him and said, "This time the Sunset Mercenary Group is leading, I don't know how many large and small teams have come in the Black Wind Valley, there are more than a dozen of them in the medium team alone, and the action is not small, what kind of task is it?"
The Valley of the Black Wind is a valley in the realm of Chaos, less than thirty kilometers from the city of Scarid. The valley is full of cloudy winds all year round, hence the name.
"It seems that there are demonic beasts from another world, right? I heard that a large group of people harassed a few towns nearby. The Lords of Chaos have officially placed a mission through the Mercenary Guild. It's S-class, and the bounty is hundreds of thousands!" the other mercenary was obviously more well-informed, and whispered.
"S-class, good girl, that's not for us to remember!" The older mercenary before said enviously: "The sunset is also quite hard, it is estimated that the pressure on them from the flying eagle is a bit great! ”
"Sunset, Flying Eagle!" at the counter, the black-robed young man's fingers tapped lightly on the counter, whispering softly. Sunset refers to the Sunset Mercenary Group, one of the oldest mercenary groups in the Aegean, and now the top ten mercenary groups in the Aegean are ranked fourth. The Flying Eagle is the Flying Eagle Knights, under the leadership of the Flying Eagle King White Emperor, the current Flying Eagle Knights have entered the top ten of the Aegean Mercenary Regiment, ranking sixth.
"One more drink!" said the young man took out another copper and threw it on the counter, and the bartender reluctantly filled it for him. Inadvertently, he swept a ring on the tail finger of the young man's exposed left hand. The ring was forged in jet-black metal, with a strange and beautiful floral pattern on it, which was very delicate.
As the bartender of the fairy bar, the people who come and go from the south to the north have seen a lot, and the knowledge is destined to be much stronger than the average person. The bartender could tell at a glance that the ring was cast from Aegean's very rare black gold. Black Epiphany is an otherworldly metal, and Aegean itself is not produced, so its value is very high, after all, rare things are expensive! And the bartender who knows a little magic can feel that the ring contains obscure elemental fluctuations, and it is a magic equipment of no low level!
A different light flashed in the bartender's eyes, and after filling the black-robed young man with ale, he said hello to his companion and left quietly.
A bartender leaves, no one notices at all, and continues to make noise. At this moment, the door of the bar opened again, and this time three people came in at once. At the front was a tall and burly Rhine warrior, more than two meters tall, with rock-like muscles all over his body, and a two-handed sword behind his back. The one behind him was much smaller. With a height of only about one meter six, she is obviously a woman, and a large black robe-colored cloak can't hide her delicate figure, and a fluffy red tail can be faintly seen behind the robe. From the moment she entered, a vague fragrance spread throughout the room. You don't have to lift her cloak to know that it must be a Fox Fox! At the end of the walk is a House centaur archer, with a long ponytail flung behind him.
The three of them found a table and sat down, and the fox girl took off her hat, revealing a very beautiful face, and the whole bar fell silent at the sight of this face. obviously looks sixteen or seventeen years old, and is a little childish, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of charming. Many mercenaries' pants changed the moment the fox girl took off her hat. But looking at the Rhine warriors beside her, who were a head taller than most, most of the mercenaries looked back with interest.
The black-robed young man at the counter glanced at the three of them with interest, smiled lightly, and whispered, "What a coincidence." ”
After a few moments, the bar was once again noisy, drinking what should be drinking, chatting what should be chatting, bragging about bragging.
The Rhine warrior gave the bartender a gold coin, and the bartender happily served drinks and some snacks.
"Lynch, you also saw the wanted notice just now, and even this place is already there, Filch ......" the fox girl sighed softly and whispered to the Rhine warrior in her companion.
"Alas, Filch is so reckless as to cause such a big disaster......" The Rhine knight also sighed, his tone full of helplessness.
"I don't think I can blame Filch for this!" said the House archer indignantly, "Since the Northeast Province took office, has the temple been like a word in the past few years?, especially the heresy Arbitrator, it has been completely rotten! It has been even more ...... in the past few years" The House young man gritted his teeth and poured a large sip of ale in hatred. Of course, the ale he drank was much stronger than the ale of the black-robed young man.
"But no matter what, he shouldn't be so brutal. The Rhine warrior shook his head: "Kamilya is a clergyman after all, and that matter has not yet been decided, Filch made a rash move, it was too reckless!"
"What do you want to say, dozens of lives!" the house archer, apparently not satisfied with the attitude of the Rhine warriors, asked loudly, "Do you still believe the nonsense of Chagusler?"
The Rhine warrior wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing, only a big sip of wine.
The volume of the three of them has not been kept very low, and the bar environment is extremely noisy, and basically no one notices what they are saying. But at the counter, the black-robed young man seemed to hear it, and the young man's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, muttering to himself: "It seems that there is a lot of information inside......
Just then, the door opened again, but this time it was kicked open from the outside.
Six or seven strong men broke in, and several big men were dressed as mercenaries, some wearing leather armor, some wearing samurai uniforms, and their weapons included long swords, battle axes, and war hammers. One of the leaders at the head looked like a hybrid of Terran and Beamon, nearly two meters tall, and the weapon turned out to be a mace forged from pure metal, and the weight would not be less than two hundred kilograms!
Several strong men swept their eyes twice, focusing on the black-robed young man at the counter. One of the big men glanced at the black-robed young man a few times, and whispered a few words in the ear of the big man who looked like the leader. The leader was slightly stunned, then glanced at the man appreciatively, nodded, and then strode behind the black-robed young man and shouted: "Filch, you are so bold, you dare to appear in the fairy bar, and you are interested in going with us obediently, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin!"
When they heard Filch's three words, many people looked over, many people saw the wanted notice at the door, and others also learned the content of the wanted notice from their companions. And the Rhine warrior and the fox girl suddenly turned their heads to look at this side, but when they saw the black-robed young man, they shook their heads and withdrew their gaze.
They retracted their gaze, but the others did not, although they couldn't see the face of the black-robed man, but they could see the two scimitars around his waist, remembering that the wanted notice said that Filch was nicknamed the Full Moon Scimitar, and many people believed it.
The black-robed young man put down the ale glass, raised his head to look at several big men, smiled lightly, and spit out one word: "Get out!"
