In Muhadi's imagination, Tyre was a splendid city, full of ornate and magnificent buildings. People walk on clean and tidy streets, all polite. Brave and selfless revolutionaries overthrew the Witch King, and now they are ruling the pearl of the desert in a just and strict manner.

However, the reality seemed to be very different, and when the two men came to the tall gates of Tyrna, instead of the courteous citizens and friendly guards, they were the rank and the fierce gatekeeper with spears in them.

The gates of Tyre were fifty feet tall and made of yellow clods of earth and rubble, and in the desert, large stone buildings required a lot of maintenance, otherwise the boulders would crumble apart due to the temperature difference between day and night.

Above the gates, hundreds of spears, each wearing a head, included humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings. Some of them are rotting to the bone, while others are still fresh, attracting many scavenging birds and flying insects to hover over them.

Merchants and travelers who wanted to enter Tyre lined up in long lines and were examined by the guards one by one. The soldiers seemed greedy and unreasonable, and the merchant's goods were thrown to the ground by them, and if they did not pay the exorbitant entrance fee, they would be charged with espionage and add a spear with a head to the city.

Even the lone travelers did not let go, and when the soldiers saw the well-dressed people, they immediately stepped forward to arrest them, and only after searching for valuable things did they refuse to let them go. Some of the fierce-tempered creatures tried to resist or leave, and were immediately killed by random arrows. Even those with backgrounds could not escape, and the guards just vulgarly shouted, "All the powerful people you know are dead! Now the ruling parliament is in power!"

When it was Muhadi and Aisha's turn, Muhadi introduced himself, "My name is Ajibai, and I come from a tribe near the distant Bedchi. He casually made up an identity for himself. Aisha is right, if there are really rumors about the artifacts of the Scorpion tribe, then someone will definitely chase them to the city, and even these soldiers will be greedy. What's more, the tokens of the tribe have all been lost in the camp, that is, he is a messenger of the elf tribe, and no one will believe it.

During the previous battle with the halfling, blood splattered Muhadi's body, and many parts of his robe were torn. There was no place to bathe in the desert, so now he looked dirty and smelly, and he didn't look like rich anyway.

"Who are you, that woman?" the soldier didn't think there was much oil and water, and he didn't deliberately check it.

"My wife ......," Muhadi said, Aisha in front of her smiling submissively, but her shoulders twitched slightly. In the eyes of the psychic man, this is the outward appearance of inner surprise. “...... 's sister. He continued.

The soldier's attention shifted to the girl, who had some of her ornaments that looked like valuable goods, such as a finger chain encrusted with crystals.

Muhadi bowed his head and said to the soldier in a seductive tone, "It's just a worthless fake." "He added the suggestion and threat techniques that Lyra had taught him, which had nothing to do with psionic powers, and were purely psychological techniques.

The soldiers were only slightly affected, but just now there was a burst of cheers in the procession, and a group of soldiers shouted "Rich!" and an unlucky fat man knelt on the sand beside him, shaking like a sieve.

There was a large pile of jewels on the ground, and it looked like another merchant had been raided. The soldier who was in front of Muhati and the two did not want to lose the opportunity to lose this wealth, so he waved his hand and let them go, running all the way to participate in the partition over there.

Thus entering the city gates, Muhathir said, "This is what the soldiers of Tyre are like? I thought they should have overthrown the witch king, and they must have ...... Well, heroic?"

"What did you just say about me?" Aisha asked.

"What, you're not happy?" Mouhati quipped, jumping off his horse and walking down the loess road.

The roads of Tyre are all paved with loess, and there is a lot of sand. Inside the city, instead of the prosperity and harmony that Muhadi imagined, it was full of dull-eyed homeless people. On every street corner, at every intersection, there is a large number of poor people who kneel down and beg. Many children also surrounded the people who entered the city begging or stealing, if they were not careful.

What's even more shocking is that there are still quite a few beautiful women and saliva addicts sitting on the street. The former tries to grab the corner of every passerby's robe and sell it for just a little bread. The latter usually gather in groups under the shadow of the wall to smoke an addictive plant called the Happy Herb.

The boy stopped arguing with Aisha and looked at Yiqi in front of him with a complicated expression, "I can't believe I thought this was the City of Hope in the desert a few days ago. ”

"How can this be the City of Hope?" Aisha asked curiously, "Don't you know that Tyr has just gone through the Revolution?"

"It was because of the revolution that I thought it was ...... Forget it," the boy shook his head and continued to walk forward. "Do you know a place called the Crystal Spider?"

"I don't know...... What's that, some kind of spellcasting material shop?"

Fahd's message didn't mention what the "crystal spider" was, and the two had no clue but to ask the residents around.

However, it didn't turn out very well, no one seemed to know what this place was, at least half of the residents didn't even want to pay attention to them, and a few people said they knew, and then led them into the alley and tried to rob them.

Finally repelling another wave of homeless people who tried to rob themselves, Muhathir came up with an idea, "It can't go on like this, I have a way, you come with me." ”

Aisha was a little confused, but finally nodded and followed.

Muhati walked into a clothing store that smelled of lavender and sweat, bought a robe of the finest and a felt hat, and paid six gold tiles, and the boss couldn't close his mouth with joy, and hurriedly ordered his men to help him change the blood-stained robes on his body, and presented a pile of silver coins with his own hands.

"It's time for you to buy a good outfit. Aisha watched as the boy took off his old robes, "But how can that help us find the place you said?"

"You'll know in a moment," Muhati said, taking the pile of silver coins that his boss had found. These silver coins were found from anywhere, and some of them were obviously marginal and insufficient. He himself was born in currency exchange and currency cutting, so he naturally understands what tricks are in these money. Ignoring the sweat and watermarks on it, I weighed them one by one with my hands and checked the color with my teeth, and then accepted it with peace of mind.

Aisha watched with some shock as the boy put each silver coin in his mouth to check the color, "Hey, you don't have to do this, these coins are so dirty." ”

"Don't you understand the pain when I squatted alone in the bazaar, saving money one pottery coin after another. Muhathir said.

Next, the two of them came to the largest square in Tyre, which was bustling with thieves and beggars outnumbering an entire tribe in the desert.

One hundred and sixty-eight flagpole-like iron pillars stand in the center of the square, and at the top of each pillar is a man, a woman, old and young, and this is the famous Punishment Square in Tyre.

Any slave who tried to escape, or who tried to rebel against his master, was sent here to be executed. One of their arms would be skinned intact as punishment for raising it up against its master. The skinned slaves were then tied to the top of the iron pillar and lamented a miserable death for days later.

After the Gladiators and Guardian Mages joined forces to revolutionize, there was no slavery left in Tyr. So now those tied to the top of the pole are former slave owners, or their families. They would also be stripped of the skin on their arms as punishment for their crimes of abusing slaves with whips.

Muhati watched as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl was escorted by soldiers to the Punishment Square, and the crowd around him cheered how they had caught "this bitch" from an abandoned wine cellar. The soldiers pushed the girl to the ground, stripped her of her scarce clothing, and sawed off the skin on both of her arms with a rusty iron knife.

She screamed and screamed in pain, but it only made the onlookers more human. She was then tied to an empty post, her hands tied above her head. The skinless arms are a dark red color with white veins, resembling lizard meat sold by butchers.

The scavenging birds and fly-like insects that hovered over the city forever immediately pounced on the new victims, and if she was lucky, the girl would die in a day, and if she was unlucky, she would die for weeks.

Even if you are well-informed, this kind of vision is quite impactful, but Muhadi now seems to have gradually reduced his emotional fluctuations since receiving psionic training, giving way to analysis and numbness.

Aisha watched expressionlessly as the vultures and other birds pounced on the girl's arm to peck at her, only her slightly trembling fingertips showed her inner excitement. "What's the use of us here? I don't want to look at this stuff. ”

"Of course it works," the boy explained, "and you see the usefulness is evident." ”

As they had changed into fine robes, a large crowd of beggars and children gathered around, each with their hands outstretched and shouting, "Mercy!"

Aisha hurriedly guarded her purse, while Muhati simply took out a handful of silver coins and gave them to the children without hesitation.

"Didn't you just say that I don't understand the pain of you squatting alone in the bazaar to save money?" Aisha asked unhappily, "Why have you become so generous now?"

"I'm a person who always shows some empathy. You'll understand after spending a lot of time with me. ”

After a while, al-Muhathir scattered a large amount of silver coins. Clapping his hands and saying to Aisha, "Alright, let's go find the Crystal Spider." ”

"Wait, you'll know where the 'Crystal Spider' is after walking around the square?"

"Of course I don't know, but they'll come to me. Muhadi took Aisha's hand and said as he wandered aimlessly into the sparsely populated alley.

"What does that mean?"

That's what it looks like. The boy explained, "You see those begging children, there are humans and elves. They can't have come to beg on their own, there must be someone behind them, or an elf covering them. This can also be illustrated by looking at the marked turbans they carry. It's like that in the tribe. ”

"That's it, there's someone behind them, and you can find the Crystal Spider?"

"Fahd has mentioned to me before that his friend in the city is very 'capable', so he is either one of the masterminds who organizes these elven children to beg, or he is a well-informed person who will definitely get the news. Muhadi turned a corner and walked onto a road with fewer pedestrians.

"What news to get. Aisha understood a little, but she hadn't grasped the point yet, "A stupid well-wisher who punished the handouts in the square?"

"Get the news that I want to see him. Muhadi said, "The silver coins I threw out were engraved on them." ”

"You are engraving on silver coins? How is that possible, where is the opportunity?"

"When I first bought a robe, I bit it with my teeth. But you're not right, the silver coin is so small that you can't bite the words. I just left the emblem of the Scorpio tribe. Muhadi then explained, "I thought they would notice it soon, so I deliberately went out to these sparsely populated roads to lure them out." ”

As soon as the words fell, two masked elves came out of the inconspicuous dark corner and walked towards the two of them with bad intentions.

"Look, here they are. Muhadi said in a tone of revealing the mystery.
