Chapter 197:

These dark forces are so intricately intertwined that even those in power in the capital of Fira are among them.

Although most of these forces are made up of stronger ordinary humans or half-breeds with special abilities, according to Valen's description, Ron can also faintly see that a small number of them have the shadow of transcendents.

Moreover, from the information that Valen said, Ron could also feel that the other party was not just an ordinary businessman who introduced himself before.

At the very least, the other party is a high-level member of a certain chamber of commerce or an important member of a certain force.

“... So, as I said earlier, I thought Ron, if you don't have anywhere else to go for now, you might be able to stay with me for a while. Valen said sincerely. "I believe that your wife and daughter will be very welcome. ”

"Thank you for having Lord Valen, but I have my purpose. Ron politely refused.

"yes, that's a pity. There was a look of obvious disappointment in Valen's eyes.

Then the two casually talked about other topics.

Time passed slowly as the convoy moved.

About three hours later.

As the number of low-rise houses on both sides of the road gradually increased, at the end of the road, a number of majestic and solemn tall buildings gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Towering walls made of huge stones envelop the city in a ring.

The vast walls were lined with white tower-like bunkers at intervals, and a guard in armor and weapons patrolled the walls.

As we got closer to the capital of Fira, a lively noise gradually spread to the carriage.

Following the carriages coming and going, Valen's convoy also entered the city smoothly.

Through the window of the carriage, Ron could occasionally see ordinary people or half-breeds of different shapes walking by one after another.

Both sides of the street are full of bustling shops, looking like they are thriving.

If you throw away those things in the shadows, the entire capital of Fira can indeed be called a 'prosperous place'

After driving through the city for more than twenty minutes, at his request, Varen's motorcade slowly came to a halt in front of a lively neighborhood.

Ron, who had jumped out of the carriage, said a few more words to Valen, and the carriage began to move again.

Watching the carriage disappear around the corner, Ron glanced at the bag of gold coins hanging from his waist, and then turned and walked towards a bustling tavern called Black Spider not far away.

'Click!!'

As soon as the wooden door was opened, all kinds of noisy sounds and the strong smell of alcohol came to my nose.

This noisy atmosphere is also mixed with some cheerful music played on unknown instruments.

In addition to the drunken and braggart men, there are also many scantily clad women.

After a cursory glance at the men, Ron paused and walked straight to the bar in the tavern.

Behind the bar was a beautiful woman in a long red dress, and when she saw Ron approaching, she whistled and said in a lazy voice.

"Do you need anything, sir?"

Seeing that the other party showed extremely seductive movements, Ron took out a gold coin from his waist with an expressionless face.

"I'll look for Leonard, you should have this guy here. ”

Seeing the gold coins placed on the bar, the woman's eyes lit up slightly.

She silently put the gold coins away and smiled.

"Of course, you wait a minute. ”

Without speaking, Ron nodded slightly, and watched as the woman turned and walked through the secret door on the side of the bar.

After waiting at the bar for about two minutes, the woman walked out with a thin, short, man.

The man was dressed in a black robe, and his entire face was shrouded under a hood.

Although he is thin and small, he exudes a faint smell of blood on his body, and he is not the type to mess with at first glance.

Before the two of them could reach the bar, the thin man slowly raised his head and whispered directly to Ron.

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Leonard the janitor. Ron looked the man up and down, then raised the Raven's Eye on the back of his right hand in motion. "You should know this, I'll get something, something you've been guarding for a long time. ”

As if he didn't expect Ron to show the crow eyes on the back of his hand, the man named Leonard was slightly stunned.

There was a hint of unnaturalness on his face hidden under his hood, but his tone remained low.

"What is this? What janitor?"

"You don't know?"

Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, Ron frowned slightly, and he sniffed slightly.

"No, I can smell replicants on you..."

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Leonard interrupted him suddenly. "If nothing else, then I'll go back. ”

With that, he ignored Ron and turned around and walked briskly towards the side door.

Seeing this, a flash of red light suddenly flashed in Ron's eyes.

Just as he took a step forward and wanted to forcibly keep this person, the seemingly lazy woman behind the bar flashed in front of him as if she was teleporting, and said in a slightly cold voice.

"Sir, although I don't know what happened between you and Leonard, but Leonard is my man, and this is the 'Black Spider', you don't want to make trouble here, do you!?"

His eyes were cold staring at this beautiful woman who flashed suddenly, and through the dim vision of the bar, Ron could clearly see the fine stripes slowly emerging from the side of her face.

These stripes take on different shapes, giving the impression of psychedelic danger like an underwater creature.

"How dare you show ill will towards me!?"

Muttering softly, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Ron's mouth.

A trace of crazy blood-red aura gradually emanated from him.

And the woman who faced this ferocious aura seemed to see some terrifying creature, the lines on the side of her face seemed to change, and fine cold sweat flowed uncontrollably from her forehead.

It's just that this woman was about to be unable to bear this oppressive aura beyond the species, and couldn't help but want to take the lead.

Ron's furious aura suddenly subsided, and he jerked back to look outside the tavern door.

By this time, it was getting dark.

It's just because of the bustle of the capital of Fira that the streets outside are still lively.

Through the gap in the wooden door of the tavern, you can clearly see the distorted shadows of the shadows outside.

“......”

In silence, Ron slowly turned his head, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him again, and then turned away without saying a word.

When Ron's figure left the tavern completely, the woman gasped for air.

She stared fixedly at the swaying wooden door of the tavern, the pupils in her eyes constantly constricting and expanding, obviously terrified.

"This guy... What the hell is it!?"

When her mood stabilized a little, she quickly took out a small golden conch from her waist and put it to her mouth, and said quickly.

"Just now a man with yellowish hair and brown leather armor went out, he should not go far, send three men to keep an eye on him, and call Leonard over again, I have something to ask him. ”

"Understood, eldest sister. ”
