15. Bordeaux Brotherhood (Part I)
The destruction of the Council of the Nine Towers changed a lot of things, and in the feast of the redivision of forces in the middle of the continent later, the Holy Del Empire and the Church of Waujin became the biggest winners, and the Nine Guilds also reaped the "justice" they had always wanted to get back, but in addition to these big forces, there were also some small forces that also got a lot of things, such as Bordeaux City.

The commercial city of the Principality of House was originally only a regional commercial hub, but after the destruction of Sam City, it gradually assumed the responsibility of connecting the southern part of the continent and most of the goods in the northern Xinjiang, and more and more caravans abandoned the increasingly chaotic trade line of the Kingdom of Bled, and instead took the waterway to reach the port city of Sastan of the Union of the Marlborough Strait, and then went around a semicircle that was not too far away through the city of Bordeaux into the hinterland of the Duchy of House, and then returned to the original trade line, so that the city of Bordeaux became more prosperous during this period of time, and more and more merchants and mercenaries passed every day, but under this rapid prosperitySome of the problems that were not too serious soon came to the fore.
"Last night the Pig & Whistle bar in the Old Town was attacked by a group of masked bandits, who slashed seven people in the street and burned down three stalls, but fortunately a squad of the city guard was holding a sorority there at the time, which avoided more serious consequences, and some of the regulars of the gilded roses began to ask the director of the casino to have a guard, according to them, who were often blackmailed and beaten by gangsters they had never seen before shortly after leaving the casino. ”
Pars sat behind the desk, his hands together and listened carefully to the report of his well-built lover and secretary, although the weather was not cold at this time, he was still wearing a heavy fluffy jacket, and even so, his pale face and the hot water cup that had been kept at hand also showed the current state of this guy, but compared to when he left Sam City, the original always frizzy teenager has matured a lot, and after experiencing the experience between life and death, Pars's actions during this period of time have completely won the recognition of many seniors in the Chamber of Commerce, including Old Hall, who is recuperating from injuries, there was only one step left before he officially became the successor of the Chamber of Commerce, but at this critical time, the drastic change in the form of Bordeaux City made him somewhat irritable.
"Anything else?"
Pars frowned and asked, and the secretary, who had beautiful black hair and a pair of watery soft eyes, immediately rummaged through the file bag in his hand before saying,
"There was only one case last night, but within this month, the industries belonging to the Chamber of Commerce have been attacked by unknown bandits to a greater or lesser extent, but the losses are very small, and the Chamber of Commerce has focused more energy on opening up the markets in the south and north, and all the senior executives are not interested in taking care of these small things, so the president means that it will be left to you to deal with it. ”
After hearing this answer, Pars's sword-shaped eyebrows raised, and it was easy to hear another layer of his father's implication, but Pars, who was always used to fighting back and forth with his opponents on the field, didn't know much about the style of this underground force, so he felt like he had nowhere to start for a while.
At this moment, the door of his office suddenly opened, and a tall and cool beauty walked in with a young man wearing a red painted plaid shirt and black breeches.
The secretary, who had never seen them, was about to stand up and stop the two impolite intruders, but before the beautiful woman could say anything, Pars, who had been sitting in the chair, immediately stood up with a smile, walked quickly to the two of them, and in the frightened eyes of the secretary, he held the other arm of the young man in an unusually flattering manner, and cried sweetly,
"Good day, Brother Elivan, and Second Sister, what kind of wind is blowing you to me?"
Looking at Pars's pretentious expression, Elivan snorted coldly, and sat on the sofa with both hands on the cane, while Wendy, like a hostess, walked to the bookcase full of books, bent down and buckled a hidden button, and then gently pulled, a small dark compartment was revealed from the side of the bookcase, she took out two goblets and a bottle of Pars's treasured moon crown wine, and in the latter's distressed gaze, twisted the cork, gently poured half a glass for Eleven, and then poured half a glass for herself, and sat down next to Elevenn with her legs crossed。
"Well~~ The fragrance is in the nose, the wine is clear and slightly yellow, and there is a faint smell of ice, it is really the Wood Elf Moon Crown Wine made in the snowstorm that swept half of the continent thirty-seven years ago, I have to say, you will really enjoy it. ”
"Hehe, this is what I got from the old man!
Pars triumphantly brought another wine glass, poured himself a full glass, and while gulping down, he unbuttoned his fluffy jacket, this guy was wearing a turtleneck sweater inside, this dress made Elevenn a little crying and laughing, he pointed at Pars with the wine glass,
"Why? Hasn't the cold completely dissipated?"
"Nope!"
Pars patted his chest indifferently, and then in Eleven's surprised gaze, a white mist suddenly appeared on the hand where he was holding the wine glass, and in a few seconds, the liquid mooncrown wine turned into a mixture of wine and ice, this guy obviously thought it was cool, so he seemed to shake the ice wine in front of the eyes of the two of them, and then sat back in his chair, opened his hand, and let the white mist wrap around his arm like a long dragon, and then said with a nonchalant face,
"Originally, after coming back and recuperating for half a month, the cold disappeared, I was very happy at the time, but since then I have been particularly afraid of cold, Uncle Hall said that it was just a sequelae, and I didn't pay attention to it, but one night, when I woke up from my sleep, I saw the familiar mist floating next to my bed, but this time it was no longer deadly, it was like a weapon guarding me, hidden deep in my body, it would naturally appear when I needed it, and over time, I got used to it, and it was cool, wasn't it?”
Elivan tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then nodded clearly, probably because after the remnants of the ancient water elemental god Stisia were killed by himself, these misty water elements that were weakly deified found Pars as a new host, which is not a good thing or a bad thing, because of the deep elements in the body, Pars's future personality will be more and more towards the characteristics of elemental creatures, such as maybe a little withdrawn, maybe a long period of sleepiness, and may be quite irritable after being provoked, but that's all, after all, it's just a small piece of water element without its own consciousness, and it can't turn over any big waves。
"Since it chose you and you accepted it, then use it well, after all, it is a trace of power from the ancient gods, not to mention how powerful, it is enough for you to protect yourself, okay, don't bother you, see you're busy, I'm just coming to see, let's go!"
Saying that Elivan was about to stand up, Wendy hurriedly supported him, but when the two of them reached the door, Pars still stopped them, his face was somewhat unwilling, but he was quickly relieved.
"Well, actually, I still have some things that I need your help with, you know, since I was a child, I haven't been very good at fighting and killing. ”
Elivan took the document handed over by Pars with some confusion, flipped through a few pages, and then frowned tightly, he closed the file, turned his head and asked Wendy,
"How did Khufu do things, how did he make the situation so bad?"
Wendy whispered in embarrassment,
"This actually has nothing to do with Khufu, after you left, the Chamber of Commerce transferred Khufu to the newly established caravan, and now it is mainly responsible for the task of opening up markets to the southern hills, when I chatted with the directors of the gold-encrusted roses in private, they were all complaining, saying that the order on this side of Bordeaux City has not been in charge for a long time, and there are many senior executives in the Chamber of Commerce, and it is difficult to communicate with them. ”
Eleven's face changed suddenly, he turned his head, and Pars couldn't help but shrink his head with a cold gaze, he knew that every time Eleven's expression showed such an expression, there would always be some unlucky people who would suffer, and he didn't want that unlucky ghost to be himself.
"What do Uncle Vince and Old Hall say?"
Hearing Elivan's question, Pars hurriedly replied,
"Father meant to let me take full responsibility, Grandpa Hall said that he was recuperating from his injuries, and everything had nothing to do with him, but the family guards could be at my disposal. ”
Hearing this, Eleven's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, he thought about it, and then asked,
"And who is the senior director in charge of the area around Bordeaux now?"
Pars scratched his head, then looked at the beautiful secretary behind him as if asking for help, who quickly rummaged through the papers in his hand before replying,
"It's Lord Arno, the nephew of the Lord of Bordeaux, who has been seeking a place in the Senate since he joined the Chamber of Commerce three years ago, but has never been able to do so. ”
Now the thread in Eleven's mind finally joined, and he smiled and patted Pars on the shoulder, whispering in his ear,
"Send me an invitation to Lord Arnault, and invite him to a banquet tomorrow evening at nine o'clock in the guest room with gold roses, and you will come too, not that I said you, others have bullied you, how long are you ready to endure? ”
After saying that, Eliven looked at the secretary who was standing with a graceful demeanor and smiled at her, and in the angle that Pars couldn't see, Wendy, who was standing behind Elivan, sneered and made a strange gesture to her, and the secretary's face, which was also smiling, immediately turned pale.
After Elavian and Wendy helped each other to leave, Pars immediately hummed happily as if he had let go of all his worries, and sat back in his chair, when he realized that something was wrong with the secretary, so he smiled and patted her on the waist,
"My dear Julia, why do you look so bad, do you need me to give you a vacation?"
"No... Well, I do need to rest for a few days, so I'll be back home and wait for me here, my little Pals!"
Julia, the beautiful secretary, leaned down and kissed Pars on the face with his eyes closed, and then chuckled and left the office, leaving Pars, who knew nothing, sitting there smiling and tasting the rest of the wine, ah, everything was so beautiful.
But later today, more than a dozen invitations with different signatures came out of the gilded roses at the same time, and after a few tosses and turns, they were sent to the principals hidden in various corners of Bordeaux City, and most of the bigwigs just glanced at it, and then threw it into the horn Gala who did not know which one, in their opinion, this so-called old dish was just a rookie who had just come to Bordeaux City like them, and wanted to use this method to get a piece of territory, in the current Bordeaux City, there are so many such whimsical fools, and they don't pay attention to it at all。
And there are only a few bigwigs who were born and raised in Bordeaux, and they have almost completely experienced the terrifying years of Lao Cai's rise for the underground forces, although they have also established their own power in the period of time when Lao Cai has disappeared and searched for traces, and they have also tasted the majesty and power of being the boss, although they have told themselves countless times that Lao Cai will never come back, but when they saw the signature of the letter, the fear of being dominated by Lao Cai still irresistibly occupied their hearts, so on the second night, a total of nine bigwigs rushed from all directions to the gold-encrusted roses, they were dressed in their best clothes, but only one or two of the most loyal subordinates were followed behind him, and he completely lost his usual majesty and arrogance, and his demeanor was so peaceful that he was almost humble.
Nine bigwigs walked silently on the specially arranged road, at the end of the road is the end of the trip, the bald guards standing at the door wearing slim black uniforms and peculiar magic crystal glasses opened the door for them, nine mermaids entered, the VIP room was decorated with golden brilliance, all kinds of strange and precious decorations were placed on both sides, and what was even more peculiar was that the center of the surrounding walls was decorated with a circular fish tank composed of giant magic glass like the main room inlaid with gold roses, and under the blue light, a series of hideous Depp sharks were swimming around, and from time to time they would stare at those people in the house with cold eyes, It's like seeing the most delicious food, and these guys seem to have a hunch that there will be a sumptuous meal tonight, but this bizarre everything can't hide the momentum of the guy with a silver mask sitting on the main seat, which is cold and tyrannical, which is impressive.
"Old Vegetables..."
The big guys looked at the figure with complicated expressions, but at the moment when he disappeared for several months and suddenly reappeared, they had to admit that the person in front of them would always be an unavoidable mountain on the road where they tried to completely control Bordeaux, but these guys are definitely much smarter than ordinary people, since Lao Cai dared to show himself openly in such a chaotic situation, it has already explained a lot of things, as for the fate of those guys who came from outside and tried to bite a bite of meat on them, it is estimated that it will not be any better。
"Come, guys, take a seat, we have a few more guests. ”
Elivan made a gesture, and the nine bigwigs took their seats one after another, and he himself picked up the cane placed on the edge of the seat, and gently knocked on the ground, and soon, a group of scantily clad dancers came to the stage and began to play some sacred dances that were said to come from the elves, but under the dance of these bewitching women, the originally noble and sacred dance also became extremely tempting, but there was no way, humans like this tune, don't they?
And just as Elavin and several bigwigs were enjoying the song and dance while waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive, in a warehouse not far from the entrance of the hidden underground black market of the newly emerged Beast Gang in the old town of Bordeaux City, more than fifty guys wearing standard leather armor and black clothes and black hats were nervously sorting out their equipment, and at the front of them, an old guy with gray hair was playing with two second-generation small magic crystal bombs newly issued by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, while staring at the entrance of the underground black market with dark eyes, watching those little ruffians show off their might, the old guy spat disdainfully, then turned around and shouted loudly to the mercenaries who had already prepared,
"In the name of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, there are no other underground trading grounds in this city except for gold-studded roses, and raze there, for the sake of the goddess of the sea, not a single one will be left!"
After saying that, the old guy twisted the egg-sized magic crystal bomb in his hand, and then threw it towards the place where the little ruffians gathered, and the other one was rewarded to the owner of the small shop who had just been vicious to him, and then he took a breath, and the moonlight hidden by the clouds shone on his face, and it was a very familiar old face, it was Daddy Home, one of the four bosses of the first layer of the black prison before.
And on the other side of the old city, the bloodied barbarian Scar is holding two steel knives, frantically slashing and slashing the little thugs who are wailing and running around in this huge dilapidated house, behind him are also dozens of mercenaries in black clothes and black armor, compared to Scar's madness, they are calmer, but when combined, the efficient way of killing is also more cold-blooded, Scar This guy happily cut a little gangster who tried to sneak attack him into three parts, while shouting at those mercenaries,
"Brothers, hurry up! Damn the old dish is half-past nine, and we've only cleaned the third, and there are two more to wait! I don't want to see Old Holm's smug old face, so come on!"
Let's turn our gaze to the third avenue in the business district, here is the underground gang lair of a gang of roving bandits from the kingdom of Bled, but it is always a lively place on weekdays, but now it is like a ghost, and the majestic thugs on weekdays hold knives in their hands, frantically stabbing the body of the person who was close to him before, everyone's eyes are full of extreme fear, but they can't control their bodies, they can only watch their companions stab the knife into their hearts at the same time, watching the dagger in their hands pierce his abdomen.
The worst guy was the boss of the gang, who was holding a bone chopping axe and frantically chopping the corpse of his brother under him, crying out loudly, "No, Charlie, no, my brother! You devil! I curse you!"
And it all came from the two guys sitting cross-legged on a broken chair in the doorway, dressed in black robes and hoods, but from the slender fingers and hoarse voices, it was clear that these two guys were two young girls, but after a lowly guy picked the hood of the tall one, the hellish fight began.
"Sister, let them stop, that's enough!"
The short one suggested to the tall one, but it was ruthlessly rejected,
"No, Lao Cai has already said that he wants our "Black Prison Four" to kill this night to make Bordeaux City stable for at least twenty years, so this level is far from enough!"
"But sister, we have more important things to do, where is the time to help that old vegetable do these things that people do!"
"Shut up! Cliff, it's just that others don't know what Lao Cai has done, don't we "Black Prison Four" know either? No, even if he wanted to live in peace, damn fate would force him to join in those turbulent events, Cliff, my sister, throughout history, there has not been a single such person in hundreds of years, as my father once told us, to hold the opportunity firmly in our own hands, so not to say to be a servant, even if... I do!"
The younger sister was silent, but after a few minutes she stood up and said to her sister, who had been looking at her,
"Let's go, sister, there's only one left, and it's said to be a lord!"
"Call me Dax, my sister. ”
The two sisters walked hand in hand into the darkness, leaving only a silent killing field, until the blood of the last person was almost dry, he leaned helplessly against the wall, looking at the scene like Shura's hell, crying weakly,
"Oh my God, what kind of people did we mess with... Devil!Devil!!"
The night in Bordeaux was quiet, except for some drunkards wandering the streets, who were paralyzed on the ground and witnessed all the blood and fire of the night, everything was covered up intentionally or unintentionally, except for those who were alive, only the "burning fire" recorded in the large library of Bordeaux was left It is said to be the worst accident in the history of Bordeaux, when a fire caused by an alcoholic accident destroyed a number of houses in the small part of the old town and the business district, including the old house of a lord, killing and wounding more than 300 people and missing countless people.
