Chapter 157: The Blonde Knight
It's been a week since the change in Poch Castle, and the turmoil in Bay City has been going on for a week.
It started with the news that the Lord of Bay City, Alan Chrissy, had died in his castle by a servant.
Of course, there are also those who say that life and death are unknown, but as if only death can attract more people's attention, most people still think that the lord is dead, so during this time the bay is very unpeaceful, the civilians are talking about it, the gangs are active, and some ill-intentioned people have quietly raised all kinds of ill-intentioned thoughts......
This chaos is rare and does not include the mercenaries, who have gossiped and loved to have fun more than anyone else in the past, but this time, few mercenaries believe that Eren is dead, or they don't want to believe it.
"If he dies, will the Mercenary Guild and the next year's Mercenary King be in ruins?"
One of the mercenaries expressed the worries of many mercenaries while drinking, and Connor, the king of the Gulf mercenaries, even beat several of his peers who shouted that Alan was dead, and he looked like an old hen guarding her cubs, of course, it was a bit inappropriate to say that, he just became a staunch supporter of Allen because of this election, and he didn't want anything to happen to Allen, because it would involve whether he could get gold coins in the Bay in the future.
"If there are people who say this kind of thing again, Lao Tzu will fight one when he sees one!"
On one occasion, Connor even curled his tongue into such wild words after getting drunk, but this did not cause a backlash from the other mercenaries, who silently expressed their support.
The Mercenary Guild is a very good organization, not only can it provide a large number of tasks for mercenaries, but each mercenary can also get certain benefits from the union, which is not a one-time benefit, but every month.
It's not much, but who has too little to give?
Although it is not fully opened yet, the various rules of the mercenary union have been spread, and the rest is nothing, and one of them can enjoy a certain allowance after retirement, but the mercenaries have to be overjoyed.
Although there are all kinds of strict restrictions in this requirement, such as the number of tasks that must be undertaken, this is the first time that this kind of benefit has been seen in the stars, and even in the whole world.
It's not as much as the five gold coins of the king of the Gulf mercenaries, but it's not too little, and there is no need to compete with others for anything, as long as you complete the task silently, one day you can reach the conditions for retirement and receive this pension, and anyone has hope.
Therefore, the mercenaries, who have always watched the excitement and don't think much of it, rarely remained silent this time, unwilling to listen to those gossip, but kept waiting for the official news to appear.
It's a pity that a week has passed, and the official has not given any definite explanation, and it even seems to be in a state of chaos.
According to an internal official, not long after the disappearance of Alan Chrissy, the lord of Bay City, the acting lord of Fisher, also disappeared inexplicably, along with a prisoner of the castle, most likely a relative of Fisher.
Therefore, the news that Fisher gave up the position of city lord in order to save his relatives has spread all over the bay, although most of the people with brains will not believe it, but most people belong to the kind of brainless people, this kind of news is full of gossip, and many citizens will take it out after tea and dinner to discuss it.
There were those who resented Fisher for failing the trust of the lord, those who wondered where they had gone, and those who envied the prisoner for having such a good relative...... All these things made Fisher, who was not very famous before, known in the Gulf, but he did not know about such things now, or if he did, he would not like to hear about it.
Fisher's disappearance is not the main cause of the chaos in the city hall of the bay, in fact, the current situation of the city hall in the bay is not clearly understood by the citizens, they only feel that the current operation of the bay is a bit inefficient, coupled with all kinds of gossip circulation, it naturally feels very chaotic.
The bread gang, a dung transport organization in the city, has complained to people more than once that they used to receive wages from the municipal government, but no one paid attention to this kind of thing, and they were not in the mood to work.
In fact, the municipal government is not so chaotic at the moment, most of the chaos is caused by all kinds of news flying all over the sky, the lord has disappeared, but the personnel are still there. Luo Wen, who has gradually adapted to high-intensity work, is methodical in the operation and command of the city hall, but everyone is a little flustered about the disappearance of the lord.
Bay City is actually not so chaotic, although the lord is missing and the city lord has run away, but the bay is still the same, except for the smell is more, the gangs are more flamboyant, and the municipal work efficiency is lower, etc., there are no major fluctuations.
Of course, there are also people who claim that there have been a lot of supernatural incidents in the bay recently, in addition to the mysterious women's singing in the port area, there has been a legend of a grotesque old witch in the bay recently, it is said that the witch will keep an eye on them in front of the window of each girl, and the terrifying and inhuman appearance frightened several girls, and even a girl was frightened and fainted and died in a failed rescue.
This is actually a rumor, and some good people have inquired all over the bay and have not heard of any girl who was scared to death, but the panic caused by this news is really happening.
This is naturally classified as one of the chaos in the bay, and in addition to other things, the question of whether the bay is chaotic or not needs to be studied, but it is true that it is lively.
A week after Allen's disappearance, an abandoned church in the city, near the business district, has been converted into a regular open-air hall with the address of the mercenary union that will open.
The mercenaries also began to leave the bay one after another, not giving up hope, but going back to take care of the aftermath.
Most of them came from their respective cities in all directions, and they had originally come to the bay just to make extra money, but now that they were going to stay there for a long time, they still needed to go back and deal with all sorts of other things.
The mercenaries who brought huge profits to the Bay City tavern industry are gone, which makes many people disappointed, but it doesn't take long for another group to attract all their attention.
Reef City is here!
I didn't hear this news from anyone else, but I saw it with my own eyes!
Basically, everyone in the bay saw the people coming from Reef City, a blonde knight dressed in gorgeous armor, straddled a snow-white war horse, and led a team of cold soldiers to inspect Bay City from beginning to end!
The blonde knight looked very kind, and even smiled and greeted the citizens, but the group of soldiers behind him did not look so approachable, looking at the civilians with a cold and murderous gaze, as if silently intimidating them.
Or it wasn't just a simple intimidation, a drunken man peed in the corner in front of the soldiers, only to be punched and kicked by the soldiers in the corner, and then loudly taught him not to defecate in the open for nearly an hour.
You can't defecate anywhere, you can't take out garbage everywhere, you can't make loud noises, and you can't walk too publicly....
There were other inexplicable things that were once stopped by the soldiers by coercive means, and because of this, the gangsters who had been active in Bay City recently did not dare to take a breath at this time, for fear of attracting the attention of these soldiers.
After the knight and his soldiers arrived in the bay, they came out to patrol almost every day, in the name of stabilizing law and order, which was very effective, but it caused a lot of complaints.
These days, the citizens all miss their lord Allen, how could there be so many bullshit rules when the lord was there before?
But what they missed was a little early, and what they didn't know was that this bullshit rule was actually carried forward by Alan when he was on the reef......
Despite the great resentment, no one dared to protest against the blonde knight and his soldiers, because as they came into contact with him, the knight's identity became known to the public - Charles Chrissy, the eldest son of the Chrissy family, the true heir of Reef City, and the brother of Lord Ellen.
It seems that the appearance is also very similar, and after confirming his identity, some citizens feel so.
However, his kind and handsome countenance seemed so hateful to the townspeople, and there was no such intimacy as Alan.
"Is the lord alive or dead?"
This question has plagued countless people, and it has been frequently mentioned after being forced by the rules and regulations.
