Chapter 11: Back to Chuck Street
When Damian walked out of the Sorbis auction house, it felt like a dream.
Due to Loren's madness and Eduardo's "co-performance", Bernoulli's staff was auctioned for an unimaginably high price, and after deducting 5% of the auction house's commission, Damian received 6,650 gold, and he didn't have to worry about money in a short time.
Of course, most of the more than 6,000 gold coins were temporarily stored in the auction house, and he wanted to use the contract teleportation to move directly to the dragon's lair, but he found that he could only carry limited things when teleporting, and according to his current magic level, he could only use teleportation magic once a week.
"Looks like raising the magic level has to be put on the agenda. Sitting in a luxurious carriage, Damien pondered as he admired the bustling streets of Lorraine.
The carriage passed through most of Lorraine, and the more he walked, the more dilapidated the scenery became, and finally stopped at a street, where he had lived for more than ten years, Chuck Street.
Don't forget each other.
Damian is back.
In his previous life, every time Damian paid his salary, the first thing he thought of was to pay back last month's Huabei first, and he was debt-free.
This fine habit has been maintained to another world, and although he is already a "multi-millionaire", he still does not forget that he still owes Shark Gazo hundreds of gold coins.
"Why is it so lively today?" said Damian, stepping out of the carriage and seeing the usual deserted Chuck Street buzzing with people.
"Is Tony's Blackstone Tavern on sale?" Damian thought as he walked down the street, but upon closer inspection, he saw that something was wrong, as it was clear that there were two groups of people facing each other.
On the outskirts of the street was a circle of soldiers in soft armor and spears, and on the outermost side were several horsemen on war horses, covered in armor, and their clothes were decorated with bauhinia patterns of the Duchy of Lorraine.
It's the law enforcement team, the city management of Lorraine, no, it should be the police.
On the other side, the situation was even more intense, the streets were crowded with thugs armed with greatswords, crossbows, and staffs, and the distant rooftops were full of elven archers in ambush. They all covered their faces with a square scarf painted with a blue sailboat, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes, staring closely at the law enforcement team opposite.
It is the Sea Serpent Party, the most powerful society in the lower city.
"Why did these two groups of people fight?" Dami was puzzled, and suddenly thought of a possibility uneasily.
"It can't be because of me, is it?"
"Shark Gazo, are you bent on violently disobeying the law enforcement team?" shouted an officer in a law enforcement uniform.
This man is Sir Juan, Tony's backer in the law enforcement team. Some time ago, Tony approached him and said that he was willing to give up Blackstone's shares, and at the same time mentioned the expansion plan of the tavern, Juan hit it off with him, finalized the investment amount on the spot, and officially became one of the shareholders of the Blackstone Tavern.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Tony came to him with a swollen eye and cried, saying that something was wrong with the expansion. He had already hired craftsmen to renovate the site, but the Sea Serpents suddenly came to the door and said that the shop he had expanded had been mortgaged to them. Tony explained to them that he had bought the shop and took out the deed. But the Sea Serpent didn't listen at all, and took the deed without saying anything, and beat him up and drove him out of the door.
When Juan heard this, he was furious that his property had been encroached upon, and he immediately asked his men to bring people over and take the shop back.
In less than half a day, the subordinates came back to restore their lives, the Sea Snake Party had a very tough attitude, the store did not come back, and it also injured more than a dozen of our brothers.
Juan was really angry this time, ordered all the people in the team, brought all the equipment, and slaughtered Chuck Street with great vigour, vowing to give the Sea Serpent a little color.
But when he got here, it seemed that the Sea Serpent Party was much stronger than he thought.
"Hehe......" There was a burst of disdainful laughter among the people of the Sea Serpent Party, and a burly figure walked out, it was Shark Gazo.
Damian was in the crowd and could see more clearly than he had been in the tavern that day, the shark Gazo was 2 meters tall, muscular enough to rival an orc, with a bald head and a heavy hammer used by dwarven warriors.
"The image of the shark boss, he is not a big brother, who can be a big brother. Damian praised in his heart.
"Juan, you are just a squadron leader of the law enforcement team, you are usually like a dog in front of the noble lord, and you will come to show off your power when you arrive in our lower city. Shark Gazzo slammed the hammer on the ground, and the entire street seemed to shake.
"I have an IOU to prove it, and it is clearly written that the mortgage was given to me Shark Gazo, and even in front of the Duke of Lorraine, I am also in charge. ”
"Be reasonable, you can't talk about me, you have to come hard," Gazo raised his hand and pointed to his subordinates behind him, "I'm not afraid of you." ”
"If you want to compare the background, you can ask what is the relationship between General Capone and me?" said Shark Gazo, looking fearless.
Sir Juan let out a sneer, "What can General Capone have to do with you, if he has anything to do with you, Lord Merlin is still my father!"
"What's the matter with this old man Merlin, how can he be everywhere?" Damian suddenly had a plan when he heard Merlin's words.
"You'll pay for what you say!" Shark Gazo seemed enraged, and he gestured to his men, and the members of the Sea Serpent Party moved and drew their weapons, and the elven archers on the roof also showed their bodies, drew their bows, and aimed them at Sir Juan in the center.
It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable.
Sir Juan didn't know what to do, and while he was hesitating, a man rushed out of the crowd and shouted, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, everyone lay down their weapons first, and have something to say!"
"That's him, Sir Juan. Tony, who was hiding behind Juan, saw the figure and said loudly, "The apprentice who sold me the shop, he must be in the middle!"
Juan was worried that he could not find the bottom of the steps, so he drove his horse to Damian and asked in a fierce tone, "Who are you, and why do you obstruct the law enforcement team in carrying out their official duties?"
Damian leaned in and said to Sir Juan with a smile on his face: "My name is Damian, the former owner of that shop, and I am still ......."
Tamian quietly casts a mana sigil, and a three-headed dragon's emblem floats in midair.
He pulled out the tiger skin of "Arcane Tyrant" Merlin, and in his mind, this symbol of his teacher was already a universal magic weapon that was better than Doraemon's pocket.
Sir Juan thought the mark was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but Gazo, the shark in the distance, also saw it, and his face showed a look of shock.
Juan felt that the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with the schoolboy, "What do you mean?!" he asked Damian very unceremoniously.
"You want to say that you are still a magician, right, magicians are useless, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with you, come back to the team with us!" he beckoned to his men, "take him down for me." Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward, ready to capture Damian.
"Protect Damian!" a roar came from behind, and everyone felt a huge black shadow appear above their heads, and it was Shark Gazo rising into the air.
It happened so fast that even the people of the Sea Serpent Party were confused, not understanding what this order meant, but the shark Gazo had already landed, stirring up a huge amount of dust. The moment he landed, he pushed a soldier five meters away with a wave of his left hand, and with a flick of the war hammer in his right hand, another soldier who was about to grab Damian's shoulder was instantly knocked away and smashed into the store on the side of the street.
Sir Juan was so frightened that he jerked the reins, and his horse retreated several steps, and the soldiers of the law enforcement team tried to step forward, but a row of crossbows stared at the ground in front of them with the sound of breaking wind, and the weapons they drew were also knocked out by the arrows fired from above.
Damian was held behind him by the giant-like body of the shark, his eyes burning with rage, and he pointed at Sir Juan.
"You dare to touch him, the Sea Serpent and you will not die. ”
Sir Juan's face was grim, and he raised his hand, but he could not give the order to attack, and at last he had to put it down, yelled at us, and fled without looking back.
Seeing the law enforcement team gone, Shark Gazzo turned around, looked at Damian with kind eyes, and asked in a tone that he felt was kind but terrifying to Damian, "You're not hurt, are you?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Damian was so frightened that he didn't realize what was going on, and he asked frantically in his heart:
"What's wrong with this world, the creditor has changed careers to become a bodyguard?!"
