Chapter 802: A Day Out of Control (5) (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
The wolf runs, the pig rushes, and the leopard man is speeding at full speed. Foolishness flew in mid-air, constantly correcting the course of travel. They were meticulous and incredibly efficient, and they quickly broke free from the layers of the King's Landing Security Squad encirclement.
The depot of deactivated whalebone artifacts was reduced to ruins the moment the spell's effect ended. The devastated bear head trampled on the masonry and rubble, and let out a long howl of indignation in the collapse, shocking Siyu.
The half-Goliath, half-mastodon, who was out of control, moved its hooves and rushed straight to the rows of warehouses belonging to the Trade Winds Chamber of Commerce. He wielded a steam hammer and transformed into a heavy bulldozer fueled by rage.
It took a while for the mighty warrior to calm down. At the cost of almost half of the buildings in the entire slaughterhouse in ruins, there is no point in trying to repair them.
When the heralds, armed with an electromagnetic communicator, reported to Fezak, Broken Bears, and Haske with the latest information from the Public Security Bureau, the other half of the buildings were quickly destroyed.
"Boom," said Haske, a pipe in his mouth, choking smoke swirling around him. Although he was not as direct as the Broken Bear Head, the green tendons on the gray dwarf overseer's head were already tense at this time.
Unfortunately, the banknote printing factory that had the accident was located within its administrative jurisdiction. According to the rules of the Scales of Eternal Order, he must be jointly and severally responsible for the time of fire, theft, and vandalism of the factory.
"Durag's scum!" Haske lamented inwardly. The treatment of the scales of eternal order is generous throughout the multiverse, but the various rules and regulations and punishment laws are also notoriously harsh.
As an old man who has experienced the frontline of bloody battles, the gray dwarf knows that it is useless to escape, and he doesn't even think about running away. The only thing he hopes for now is to punish his family and clansmen so as not to harm them.
After the battle, the wounded and the dead were sent to medical camps. The three grizzled captains lined up and walked into the office at the top of the Sheriff's Office, where Bradge waited for a summary of their operations.
"I'm sorry. ”
The Desert Elves have a voice spell enhancer on their faces, so their voices are always dull and hoarse. "From last night until this morning, we had an out-of-control day. ”
—————
The Broken Bear had reverted to Goliath's form, the brawny man leaning against his steam hammer, sullen, and Fezak crouching directly on top of the velvet carpet, staring at the ground, not saying a word.
As for Haske, this gray dwarf overseer who has lived for more than three hundred years is like a thirteen-year-old child waiting to be scolded by the division commander. He tucked his helmet under his armpit and waited for his hair to fall with his head bowed.
"Actually, this operation is terrible," Blatch said in a deep voice, "and we can say that nothing has been accomplished except to capture the agents of the Trade Winds Chamber of Commerce." Not only did he let go of the robber leopard man, but such an important place as the banknote printing factory was also attacked. And ......"
He paused, "...... According to the latest information, King's Landing also ran out of two monsters. They were all Leopard Man's accomplices, one was a weakened fool who sabotaged your operation at the last minute, and the other was suspected to be a soul searcher, and the Shadow Shrine where the creature's bones were stored in the Sacred Shrine was broken, and her remains were missing a part. ”
Hearing this, the three action captains raised their heads at the same time, their eyes widened. They already knew that the consequences of this failed operation would be serious, but they did not expect it to be so serious!
"But...... You are not entirely to blame for this failure. Blatche's words sounded like heaven in the ears of the three of them. For Haske, in particular, "Cheer me up now to keep order in King's Landing." If Xiao Xiao dares to try to take advantage of the fire, then let them know that our security department is ruthless!"
With that, the desert elf waved his hand. It means that the meeting is disbanded and the three of them can go out. "The rest of the things are not for you to be involved in," Blatch added inwardly, looking at the documents on the board.
......
Three days later, King's Landing Seaport Trade Zone.
Most of the businessmen who have finished their business from the morning and lunch markets, and don't want to go through the trouble of checking the authenticity of banknotes in the night market with their lights in hand, will choose to find a familiar place to take a break and have a drink.
Because of the location and the affordable food and drinks, Gris's "Devil's Stomach" tavern is bustling with people in the afternoon.
Travelers and businessmen from all over Ramsay, who enjoy food and wine here while bragging and farting. Inadvertently, they will confide in a lot of gossip that is circulating in the market.
"Have you heard," said one of the drinkers, who had drunk several times the mead, and boasted to his drinking friends with a red face, "The Mayor of Red Pine City has personally come to King's Landing in the past two days, and he has also found Grimm of Emerald City as a companion to rescue a knight in his own city. ”
"Which jazz lord has that big face?"
"Of course Lord Sir doesn't, but the only son is different," the drinker looked around, and whispered in what he thought was a very small voice, "Sir Aegon, who is said to have been arrested by the Sheriff's Office, is the illegitimate son of the mayor of Red Pines. ”
"It seems that there is such a rumor," someone responded, "that Hongsong City Mayor has three daughters, but no sons. He was very fond of Sir Aegon, but he did not promise him any daughters. ”
"That Aegon hugged the thigh of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce," another person joined the conversation: "He is a dignified aristocratic lord, and he has actually become the son-in-law of a merchant family like us." ”
Several people let out a disdainful sneer.
More than a decade ago, Ramsay's elite class did not look down on businessmen, let alone take the initiative to get close to merchant families. But when the emperor woke up and the monsters had sadistic years, the atmosphere of the Ramsay continent changed.
In the North, the construction of King's Landing led to a flourishing commercial trade. The Scales Chamber of Commerce of Eternal Order is the supreme authority here, and any wealthy nobles who dare to challenge it have been reduced to powder.
And in the southern region, during the years when the monsters were raging, many wealthy merchants moved their family businesses there. With the wealth in their hands, they monopolized the lifeblood industries of many cities and became the new aristocracy.
So, in the current Ramsay, the status of the businessman has greatly improved. Those nobles who originally occupied the land, in order to continue to maintain a life of fine clothes and food, also had to deal with merchants who they used to look down on.
And the most common way to deal with this is intermarriage. But like Sir Aegon, in order to hug the thigh of the Trade Wind Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed rare for a nobleman to directly become the son-in-law of a commercial family.
