Chapter 878: The First Decree
On the long street, as the parade progressed, the atmosphere began to gradually become hot!
"Now Downton's subordinates who can fight are not around, and only one of the maids who can summon Di Maria, Juliet, is more troublesome, do you still do it?"
In a small two-story building, through the hidden glass window, the killers of the Brotherhood are staring at Downton as he slowly walks by.
"Please, if you want to die, don't drag us along, although the assassination opportunity is good, but Downton's twin angels have not shown up, if they are summoned, we will die." â
"They all say that Downton is seriously injured, but why can't I see it? Don't forget, this guy is a scepter under twenty years old, and his combat effectiveness is off the charts. â
The other killers have shrunk their eggs, although the Dark Brotherhood is lawless and often does things that kill people, but they also watch people put dishes on the plate, to be honest, enemies like Downton, they don't want to provoke, so they complain in their hearts about the boss who takes over this bounty task.
The boss's face was ugly, and just as he was about to say something to boost morale, he saw hundreds of one-meter-two long crossbow guns fired at Downton.
These crossbow spears had thick mouths and were covered with spiral-shaped magic patterns, slicing through the air, and in addition to compressing the air on the spear head and forming a conical state because of their rapid flight, they also brought out a dragon roar.
"Enemy attack?haha, Downton is over, this sneak attack is obviously premeditated!"
The Boss laughed heartily, if someone else killed Downton, it would save him trouble.
These ballistas are all fired from ballistas, ten rounds at a time, and to achieve this kind of covering strike, it must be prepared in advance.
The security of the Downton Legion was too poor to be helped, he had not been a superior and had not been assassinated. And he has strong strength, so he doesn't care about these.
"Be careful!"
Knightley was startled when he saw those crossbow guns, they were demon-breaking ballistas, and the price of one was as high as tens of thousands of gold coins, and this round of salvo shots. It was millions of gold coins that were spilled, and the enemy paid such a big price, obviously determined to get the results.
At the moment when the female mage gave a warning, many assassins in veils sprang out from the houses and crowds on both sides, some of them created chaos and delayed the arrival of rescue, and some of them attacked and killed Downton, and the tacit understanding was incomparable.
The long street was in chaos in an instant.
Downton snorted coldly. The two hands drew an arc circle, and the ballista launched, and those crossbow guns stopped in front of him as if they were grabbed by an invisible big hand, and then they were pinched and exploded by him, and exploded into powder.
Whoa!
The enemies were seasoned veterans, and Downton had just picked up the first salvo, and they had already replaced the magazines for their crossbow guns. A second wave of attacks was fired.
The Assassins also killed him, taking off the crossbow that hung from his waist. Sniping Downton, they chose the right time, even if Downton blocked the second wave of crossbows, they would be injured by their crossbow arrows because of distraction, of course. It's better to be dead.
Sky Hammer Turtle!
Downton swung his fists in unison, and one after another heavy punches of magic energy fell from the sky, but instead of intercepting the crossbow guns and arrows, they hit the assassins.
Bang! Bang!
All the Assassins below the Judgment Rank were killed. The dragon slayer ranks were also wounded, and the attack was blocked.
The Body of the Overlord!
Downton turned on the absolute defense, and those crossbow guns hit his body, not even his skin was scratched, all of them were shattered.
Swish!
Taking advantage of the others' attention, an Assassin managed to sneak up behind him and stab a dagger full of poison into his vest.
"That huge bounty is mine!"
As soon as the assassin finished his happiness, he noticed that his wrist had been grabbed, and then there was a click, and the stinging pain in his heart swept through his nerves.
"Trash fish!"
Tang Zheng grabbed the assassin's head, exerted force with his five fingers, and directly pinched and exploded.
Bang!
The headless body fell to the ground.
"Withdraw!"
The assassins were shocked, knowing that the best opportunity had been lost, and began to evacuate, in Downton's eyes it was a miscellaneous fish, but for them, it was a hole card, but in front of Downton, it was useless at all.
"Did you run?"
Downton waved his arms continuously, and one after another magic locks stretched out, and after approaching the assassins dozens of meters away, he directly turned into dragon claws, grabbed them, and then poured them fiercely on the ground.
"Kill them all, and leave not one behind!"
A team of dark rangers arrived first, and when they saw that someone had assassinated the servant, they instantly became furious, and they showed their skills one by one, chasing and killing those who escaped.
Burst!
The farthest one thought he had escaped, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was impaled in the chest by a platinum dragon spear and fell from the roof.
"In the future, can you not call me out for such a small scene?"
Edith frowned and complained.
"I think it's good!"
Fiona drew her sword and brandished her aura of contemplation, and the panicked feelings of the crowd quickly calmed down, and when they saw the angel with white wings appear, they all knelt down and prayed.
Fiona enjoyed the worship!
In less than five minutes, all of the Assassins involved in the assassination were killed, and the Dark Ranger dragged their bodies to Downton.
"Find out who they are, then capture their families and reduce them to slavery, and I'm going to let the guys of Assassin's Creed know that if you want to oppose me, you are ready to die!"
Looking at the Assassins' equipment, Downton exhaled and gave orders.
Ordinary citizens listened to Downton's cold orders, and their hearts sank, knowing that this was not a benevolent king, but it seemed that it was not too much to kill a member of Assassin's Creed?
For the Magician, this was a big deal, and Downton's orders meant that he would never die with Assassin's Creed.
Even those wealthy families, although they are not afraid of Assassin's Creed, they will not offend them, after all, they are one of the three mysterious organizations in the mainland, and if they don't do it, they will have business contacts, but Downton is good, he doesn't care at all.
"See, it's a good thing we didn't make a move, otherwise we would be the ones lying on the street now!"
A group of fraternity members had palpitations, and secretly looked at the boss, and found that his face was pale, all of them were frightened, and he no longer had the conceit just now.
"But then again, Downton is too domineering, isn't he? He declared war on Assassin's Creed?
"Hush. He can't help it, Assassin's Creed is different from ours, people eat the bowl of rice of killers, and failure is absolutely not allowed, otherwise it will affect the reputation, so Downton must die. Since he is sure to become a mortal enemy, he naturally can't show mercy. â
"No matter what, I think Downton is very domineering, this kind of person is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of the Western Earth Continent, and I don't want to be a footnote to other people's achievements. â
After seeing Downton's strength, some Brotherhood killers were afraid that the boss would be stubborn, so they went straight to the showdown.
Although there were no fatalities in the riot just now, many people were still injured by the stampede. At this time, one by one fell to the ground with a wilted expression.
"Anyone who is injured can go to the town hall and receive a hundred gold coins!"
Downton never hesitated to show his generosity, and instead of moving forward, he reflexively dismounted and walked towards the wounded.
"Does it still hurt?"
Downton pressed the calf of a middle-aged woman and cast a healing wind.
"Did you say he did it intentionally, or unintentionally?"
Knightley stared at Downton and asked the priestess. If this is a show, then all she can say is. This kid is too scheming.
"He's very simple, okay!"
Andrea rolled her eyes, blaming her friend for her sinister intentions.
"Can you prove it? I think you've been deceived. â
The female mage lamented.
The female priestess originally wanted to say that Downton was an innocent little virgin, and he was so shy that he even saw a woman's naked~ body, what scheming could he have? But thinking that these words would cause a greater misunderstanding, she wisely closed her mouth.
The parade was temporarily suspended. As the main priest, Andrea naturally took on the duty of treating the wounded.
Wow wow!
A little girl sat on the ground, crying hoarsely, her left calf twisting irregularly, and the entire ball of her foot deformed.
"Don't cry, baby. It doesn't hurt!"
A young woman with her daughter in her arms, tears in her eyes, was dressed in a washed white linen robe, rough and patched.
One hundred gold coins is half a year's salary for the young woman, but she is not happy, because according to the previous habit, it would be good to get a few gold coins in the end, and those government officials are masters of plucking the feathers of geese, besides, even if they get a hundred gold coins, what if they get it? The woman's leg is so badly injured that it is not enough for medical expenses, and if the treatment is late, she will definitely be disabled.
"Mom, I hurt!"
The little girl's crying pear blossoms bring rain, which makes people feel distressed.
"Little sister doesn't cry, she has to be strong, and she can't let her mother worry!"
Downton crouched beside him, and with a smile that looked like the warm sunshine of spring, he gently enchanted the little girl's forehead.
"Well, babies don't cry!"
The little girl was very sensible, and reached out to wipe the young woman's tears, but her little mouth was pouting, and the soybean-sized tears were rolling down, no way, this kind of injury, even an adult man can't bear it.
"Baby!"
When the young woman heard this, she also began to cry, but when she saw that the person who answered next to her was Lord Downton, she was startled, and immediately knelt down and confessed her mistake.
"Are you resenting me?"
Downton casts the wind of healing to alleviate the pain of the little girl.
"Don't dare!"
The young woman's eyes wandered.
"I hate it when people lie!"
Downton's eyes were already sharp, overflowing with killing intent, with the coercion of his current soul, how could he bear it as a young woman who was just a commoner, and the blood on his face instantly faded.
"Girl stay, you have to atone for your sins as a slave!" Downton waved his hand, and immediately a dark ranger rushed up to take the little girl away.
"Huh?"
The onlookers were dumbfounded, they thought that a pro-people drama would be staged, but how did it turn into evil on the street?
Andrea frowned, but did not stop it, Knightley was interested, as for Celes and Juliet, he firmly believed that Downton had his troubles even if he did bad things.
"Mom!"
The little girl cried and stretched out her hands to grab her mother, "You let go of me, I want my mother!"
"Don't, don't take my baby!"
The young woman cried and went to chase her daughter, but was pushed away by Downton.
Although Downton didn't use much force, everyone was shocked.
"Yes, I lied, you might as well kill me. I've had enough of this life!" The young woman finally broke down when she saw that her daughter was about to leave, staring at Downton with resentment in her eyes, "Do you know?" I work fourteen hours a day, but I can only earn 30 copper plates, that is, two pounds of black bread, and I have a family to support, do you know, this half day of my delay, our family will be hungry for three days. â
The young woman's words made some of the civilians living in the slums bow their heads, and they were all struggling at the bottom haha. The boss doesn't care why the workers are late, they only care, and they have an excuse to deduct their wages.
"I was so tired that I couldn't even buy half a pound of white bread for a month, and my daughter passed by the bakery and drooled over the cake, but she told me that she didn't like it. Brown bread is the best, you know how I felt?"
The young woman yelled at Downton. "Surely a big man like you doesn't know how it feels when I bring back those cake crumbs from the bakery every month that people are ready to throw away, and watch my daughter gobble them up?"
The long street was completely silent, all the young women's roars, and the resentment of years of poverty finally broke out at this moment.
"If I'm lazy. Then I suffered, I confessed, but why did I do more than anyone else, but I still can't support my family, and I can't even afford a piece of cake?"
The young woman asked.
Downton was silent. Not to mention that the kings have slums, even the capitals of the nine empires, in this world, as long as there is a zĂ i class, there will be no shortage of poor people.
"I'll go with you, don't bully my mother!"
The little girl's cry added a touch of pathos to the young woman's suffering, and the citizens, who had no sense of identification with Downton, although they didn't say anything, looked at him with a gaze that was still unfriendly.
"I know Downton is trying to gain prestige, but it's self-defeating, isn't it?"
Knightley stood beside the female priestess, complaining angrily, she had no doubts about Downton's character, but she was too eager for quick success.
The female priestess was about to come forward and use her status as a priest to clean up the mess for Downton, but this kid suddenly broke out.
When the townspeople saw Downton draw his dagger, they thought he was angry, and when they wanted to kill the young woman, they found that he had stuck the dagger in his thigh.
Hiss!
A large gasp sounded, and at this point, no one knew what Downton wanted to do?
"I swear by my blood that I will make Frankfurt prosperous, make the people happy, and become a second-rate power!"
This pain, with Downton's will, can be completely endured.
No one spoke, the atmosphere was terrible, and no one would take this kind of empty promise.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to get you to believe me and say my heart, so that's the only way to do it!" Downton smiled at the young woman, then his eyes swept around, and he spoke again, "The first thing I did when I became the Hand of the King was to raze the slums!"
Wow!
There was a loud noise, especially among the poor people who lived there, and it was completely boiling, and once the slums were bulldozed, they would not even have a place to live.
"Please, my lord, will you spare us?"
"We've never underpaid a single copper plate in taxes, so why are you treating us like this?"
"My lord, you're going to force us to die!"
Listening to the petitions and cries, Downton pressed his hands down and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"No, you misunderstood, I'm not trying to get rid of you, but I'm going to build you a free house for you, and as long as you meet the conditions, you can apply to move in. â
After Downton finished speaking, the onlookers looked at them as idiots, in addition to disbelief.
The aristocrats in this world, except for desperately trying to make money in their own pockets, who cares about others?
"Downton is crazy, isn't it? How much does this cost?"
Knightley was dumbfounded.
"What might he think?"
The female priestess is also uncertain.
"Hey, the slums are the biggest headache for every person in power, if it were really that easy to solve, the Nine Great Empires would not have those stains. â
Knightley didn't believe it, "Doesn't Downton just want some people?
"Believe me, the first paupers will be ready to move in in three months at the latest, and if I lose my word, I will give up the hand of the king and leave Frankfurt!"
Downton raised his hand and swore to the Flame Goddess that this time no one would take him as a joke again, after all, he was a priest, and if he lied, he would be punished.
"Fortunately, I had already planned for the slums, otherwise I would have lost a lot of gold. â
Listening to Downton's first declaration of office, Abagun was glad that he was prepared.
In fact, Downton is also prepared, the world in the dream world, given him too many ways to deal with it, if it is in other cities, the slums are really difficult to solve, but in the royal capital it is different, the commoners in the countryside, who doesn't want to live in the royal capital, to be a royal capital?
Why is life in the royal capital so hard, these poor people are not willing to leave, at least they return to their hometown every year to visit relatives, it can be said that they are a royal capital people, so it is said that the royal capital will always be prosperous, and its land will always be valuable.
Downton was ready to build tall buildings, so the vacated land would be of great use, and he believed that the big merchants would not skimp on gold coins in order to buy them.
As soon as Downton took office, he solved the problem of the slums, erased the stain of the royal capital, and received more taxes from the merchants, and over time, the royal capital will become more prosperous, plus the prestige among the poor, it is simply a benefit to kill one stone.
"This guy is so cunning!"
Dumbfounded by Downton's explanation of his plan, Cheap asked Homer, "You taught him this?"
"It's not!"
Homer was also surprised, but he didn't see that Downton was still a talent with more than 90 points of talent in internal affairs.
"Wow, little girl is so cute!"
Hu Tao floated over on the air ray and touched the little girl's head, and the dark ranger was not stupid and didn't really take her away.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you get more job opportunities, and I will also order a minimum salary, if you can't get it, you can report your respective bosses!"
Downton pinched the little girl's cheek, looking at her lying in her mother's arms, although the leg injury was not healed, but he couldn't help but feel at ease, this kind of kind person is the object ......of his help!
