Chapter 301: The Fallen City of Ebbuston (2)

After listening to Ticialis's narration, Ryan and Faras glanced at each other, and saw the consternation in each other's eyes, living in the human countries of the land world, it was difficult for them to understand that the disregard for human life here had reached such a heinous level, if this happened in the human world, I was afraid that the city lord had become a heinous demon, but after looking at the people around them, Ryan and Faras wondered why the residents here did not live in fear as they imagined, at least from the faces of these residents, Ryan and Faras could not see any clues at all.

"Don't think that 10,000 gold coins is a small amount, even if ordinary people want to kill indiscriminately, they have to come up with so much money! As for those who are really rich, under normal circumstances, unless you provoke others, who would want to spend such a sum of money in vain? As for the waiter I just killed, she may not necessarily be very unlucky, and at least 5,000 of the 10,000 gold coins are given to her family as compensation. Looking at your expression, you probably don't know what 5,000 gold coins mean, and a family of ten in the underwater world, if you save a little, can probably use it for almost 10 years, which is enough time for the next generation to grow up and continue to support the operation of this family. As for human life, do you think that if there is no such rule, even if I kill her with my strength, the law enforcers of this city will turn against me because of a small waiter?" Tisilis said slowly.

"I see. Ryan nodded solemnly, although he was psychologically unwilling to accept such a rule of contempt for human life, but he also knew that the real beneficiaries of this rule were those who were weak, maybe it was such a human life, but it could make her family live a relatively happy life, and even let her family have enough money to learn magic that ordinary people had no economic strength to access, maybe a new strong man would be born in a few years.

Anyway, since he has come to such a world, his own strength is not strong enough to change the rules of the entire underwater world, so what Ryan has to do is to adapt to such rules and get familiar with the surrounding environment, anyway, the ultimate purpose of his coming here is not to let his hometown become such a world, when this bottom line is not touched, Ryan doesn't even care too much about what kind of method he uses, so he is just a little uncomfortable in his heart, that's all.

After digesting this fact, Ryan remembered another thing, and he opened his mouth to ask Ticilis: "Since it only costs 10,000 gold coins to kill a person, then why didn't you kill the male octopus man just now, but only kill this waiter? Is it just because the bodyguards around him are stronger, or do you have any other concerns?"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Ticilis glanced at Ryan, she realized that her movements and demeanor had been more or less affected by humans recently, at least after returning to the underwater world, Ticilis had rolled her eyes far more often than she had in those years. After realizing this, Tisilis said to Ryan even more angrily: "Of course, the death compensation is so much, but if the target I want to kill does not belong to this city, then I have to go through another process. In order to ensure the safety of the lives of the rich people who come here, when there is a conflict between the rich people who do not belong to each other in the city, they must enter the gladiatorial arena to understand. If I want to kill that octopus man fat man, I must choose a person to fight with his subordinates, and then press their own gambling funds, as for whether I can kill the opponent in addition to the result of the life and death fight, but also depends on the financial resources of both sides, if I can't use enough wealth to force the opponent to gamble with me, I can't help him!"

"If I succeed in forcing him to gamble with me, and then his subordinates lose in the gladiatorial arena, then I can deal with him at will, and Eboston will not interfere in any way, and of course I will have to pay an additional 10,000 gold coins for a life. But if the fat octopus man asks for a postponement of the game, won't we have to wait here for at least three months?, rather than remember him as he is, and settle the account when we meet later!" Ticylis explained clearly to Ryan, and finally she added: "So if the organization that stopped us at the cost of human lives along the way, if it wants to deal with us in this city, the best way is to provoke a private fight between the two sides, and then drag us to the gladiatorial arena for a duel." ”

"That's your real concern, right? So you suspect that the octopus man might have something to do with that organization?" Faras interjected.

"I have to be suspicious, because the timing of their appearance was so coincidental that they actually followed us into the city. In addition to this, they will provoke me as soon as they enter the city, and they will use the most intolerable means for women, if we have nothing else to do, I will definitely give him a gladiatorial fight on the spot, even if I can't kill him, I must make him lose a lot of money, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to get out of my heart!" said Ticilis.

"Well, I promise you, if you have the chance, I'll help you out of this breath. Ryan smiled faintly and made this promise very casually. Tisialis's heart swelled with emotion, she knew Ryan's strength very well, and she also knew very well that this legendary powerhouse had a peaceful personality, and it was almost difficult to make any promises to others, and now he was willing to stand up for himself, even if it was just a little expression, it was enough to move Ticilis.

"Let's find a place to eat first. Titiris was grateful, but not on the surface, and when she said this, she waved to the side of the street for a cart pulled by two giant crabs, and was the first to walk up. Ryan glanced at the vehicle called by Tisialis, and couldn't help but be a little amused in his heart, the crabs were walking sideways, so the two crabs pulling the cart were standing opposite each other, and their chelae were tied together, so that there was no need to worry about the guests being accidentally injured by the crab.

After everyone was seated in the car, Tixilith ordered, "Go to the Lizard Bar, we're going to enjoy the food!"

The octopus man in charge of the drive nodded, reached out and pulled the reins on the crabs, controlling them towards the destination that Ticilis had commanded. Ryan sat in the car and watched the giant pair walk quickly on eight legs sideways, without any bumps, and the car was moving at a fast pace, but in a few minutes it was out of the street and into another commercial district lined with shops.

The hundred-meter-wide street is lined with all kinds of shops, according to the explanation of the octopus man who drove it, this is the most prosperous business district in Ebosson, where caravans can buy and ship, and the types of goods are also varied, including precious metal ores, rare monster skins and magic cores, powerful magic items, exquisite magic scrolls, gorgeous armor and weapons, delicacies from all parts of the underwater world, and even strong slaves and beautiful and sexy slave girls, in short, as long as you can afford to spend money, almost everything that can be bought in the underwater world can appear here。

"A few distinguished guests, this is the War Lizard Bar. After more than twenty minutes of travel, the crab finally stopped in front of a ruggedly decorated building, and the octopus man who drove the car respectfully said to Ticilis: "Here you and your friends can enjoy the food to your heart's content, as long as you name and origin." Hope you and your friends have a great memory!"

Ticylius nodded, she looked at the familiar and unfamiliar sign of the "War Lizard Bar", and felt a little strange in her heart. In fact, she had never been to the city before, and everything about the fallen city came from information on paper, and the work began from the time she began to set up the teleportation magic array in Saluofin City, and everything was under the supervision of the strictest secrecy procedures: how to activate the teleportation magic array, how to leave Saluofin, what underwater caves to rest in on the way, what were the details of several important cities along the way, such as Ebosson, etc., these contents could be accurately depicted by Ticilis even if she closed her eyes。

The sign hanging at the door of the lizard bar with a trident and two fangs crossed together, Tisilis didn't know how many times she had seen it on paper, and she could even point out the origin of this signboard, and even the small details of the workmanship on the signboard, but today was the first time she had seen this thing that she had already memorized, which made her feel like she had a glimpse of the truth, but she was also a little frustrated, because from the moment she appeared in the underground teleportation magic circle of Saluofin, this journey that would never be started unless she had to, was still activated in the end。

Feeling a sigh in her heart, Tixilis grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed them to the octopus man who was driving, but the other party politely declined the considerable tip, and then explained to Ticilis respectfully: "You have a private account in our city, so all your expenses here will be deducted from that account and you no longer need to pay in cash, which also saves you the trouble of having to bring a bunch of gold coins every time you go out." It's my pleasure to serve you, and I'll get the reward I deserve for it, but driving isn't a profession where you can get tips, so I can only thank you for your kindness!"

Hearing the words of the octopus man, Faras had a question in her heart, and she asked, "I heard that it only costs 10,000 gold coins to kill a person here, so doesn't it mean that your life can be lost anytime and anywhere? In that case, why do you refuse to increase your income? And looking at you, you don't seem to care much about this?"
