Roy had been to Downtown a few times, and he had an impression of the streets, and after a while, he found a fireworks shop, and sure enough, there were some large-sized salutes with dozens of shots.

The location of this fireworks shop is good, the avenue in front of the store leads directly to the city gate, adjacent to the mercenary guild, the flow of people is very large, and the business is also very prosperous.

Roy instructed the coachman to pull the carriage aside and put the New Year's goods on the cart, then took Arya's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

This fireworks shop sells a very complete range of fireworks, large and small, but there is only one little girl busy in the store, and I don't know if it is the clerk or the proprietress .

After a while, Arya chose the fireworks salute, some of which were inconvenient to bring over because of their large size, so Roy walked up to the little girl, pointed in Arya's direction, and asked, "How much is it?" ”

"Ah, please wait."

The girl was giving change to the other guests, she replied politely, then looked at Arya, and then confirmed with some embarrassment: "Is the salute you want to buy a red or a gold one?" ”

Roy was slightly stunned, then turned his head to reconfirm.

The salute is wrapped in striking gold paper, is there any need to reconfirm?

"Golden."

Roy said, looking at her carefully.

It was a girl of his age, with beautiful long blue hair and large gray eyes, but if you looked closely, you would see that although these eyes were looking in his direction, there was no focus in their eyes.

It's a delicate but lifeless, doll-like pair of eyes.

Blindman? No, but she does see things again, otherwise how could she take on the job of cashier in the store?

Or is she colorblind?

"Ah, that's a total of one hundred and seven soles, I'll wipe one zero for you, just one hundred soles!"

The girl responded briskly and familiarly.

"It's pretty cheap...... Roy raised his eyebrows, put what he was thinking behind him, and paid happily.

The prices in the lower city are indeed much cheaper than in the upper city, and if it were placed in the upper city, I am afraid that this golden salute alone would be more than that.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Luo?"

A rough voice suddenly came from behind him, and a tall figure walked over.

Roy looked up and couldn't help but smile: "What a coincidence, Bob, I can meet you here." ”

"Isn't it? It's really rare for the lord of the upper city to come to the lower city. ”

Bob patted him on the shoulder, "Come buy fireworks?" ”

Roy nodded, "What about you?" ”

"Haha, this store is opened by our Black Flag, and we will come over to help when we are fine."

Bob smiled heartily and beckoned to the blue-haired girl: "Nightingale, it's time for a shift change, you can go to dinner!" ”

The girl called Nightingale also smiled back: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bob, by the way, what about Brother Wolf, isn't he with you?" ”

"Bite the wolf? He said he hadn't had enough for lunch, so he probably went to a roadside stall to buy pancakes......" Bob muttered as he glanced back at the crowd.

"Hey, no matter him, anyway, the head of our family has come back, and she really wants to see you, but it's almost the New Year, and I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to find a chance.

"That guy Gawain has also joined our group, isn't he your friend? Recently, you made an appointment to get together together. ”

"Okay." Roy nodded.

He was thinking about the time he had to come, now that he had come to the lower city, why not stop by to visit Gawain and the mysterious leader of the Black Flag mercenary group.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

As if someone was arguing, and the sound was getting louder and louder, Bob suddenly raised his eyebrows, pushed through the crowd, and strode out.

"Who dares to make trouble on our turf?"

His eyes widened, and then he saw one of the parties.

"Bite the wolf?" Bob was stunned for a moment, "Something happened." ”

At a food stall near the fireworks shop, the wolf was grabbing a young man by the collar with an angry look.

He was dressed in mercenary leather armor and carried a machete on his back, and the scar on his cheek that extended to his neck looked horrible at this time.

", say it again." The wolf stared at the young man and said word by word, "Everyone eats here, why can't I sit next to you?" ”

The young man was well-dressed, and seemed to be from a good city area, although he was grabbed by the collar by the biting wolf, his face turned red, but his mouth did not show weakness, and he scolded while struggling:

"I just don't like you, a dungeon pariah still wants to sit next to me? I'm afraid I don't want to steal money! What can you untouchables do but sin? Now you're going to hit someone in broad daylight! ”

"What the!"

The wolf biting eyes widened in anger and raised a fist the size of a sandbag.

As an active mercenary in the prime of life, if he smashes an ordinary person's head with all his strength, even if he does not die, it is estimated that he will leave very serious sequelae.

Placed in urban areas, it is naturally a criminal act without question.

"Bite the wolf, what's going on?"

Bob rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the wolf's wrist, and shouted, "It's an extraordinary time, don't be impulsive." ”

It's almost the day of the Apocalypse, and the crime storm in the dungeon has just passed, and now I'm afraid that beating people will cause a lot of trouble.

The wolf gasped, but he finally lowered his fist, and the hand that grabbed the young man's collar loosened.

The young man had been struggling to shake off the hand that had bitten the wolf, when he suddenly felt the pressure on his collar loosen, and without thinking about it, he touched a bowl with noodle soup in his left hand and slapped the bowl on the wolf's face.

"Smack!"

The bowl made a red mark on the wolf's cheekbone, and the noodle soup in the bowl not only spilled on his face, but also wet Bob's clothes behind the wolf.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young man finally shook off the hand that bit the wolf, got up and retreated into the crowd, and then shouted angrily:

"Even the nobles of the upper city dare to kill, what else do you thugs dare not do now?

"Savage dungeon pariahs, get out of the city for us!"

After this angry shout, the crowd was a little quieter, and then there was a sound of response.

"That's right, the dungeon pariahs are out of the city!"

"Get out of town! This is our home! ”

"Get out of town!"

"Get out of town!"

The wolf was burned by the sudden noodle soup, he wiped the stains on his face, stood up angrily, and touched the machete behind his back: "You looking for death!" ”

"Murder, the gangsters in the dungeon are going to kill people in the city!"

The young man shouted hoarsely from the crowd.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?"

"What's going on?"

The food stall is only a few steps away from the mercenary guild next to it, and now the noise is getting louder and louder, and finally attracts all kinds of mercenaries who are drinking and laughing in the mercenary guild.

Eighty percent of the mercenaries were from the dungeon, and when they went out, they heard someone in the crowd shouting "dungeon pariahs" and "dungeon gangsters", and they immediately became angry.

Some of the hot-tempered people even directly pulled out their weapons.

"City guys, are you finding fault!"

"I've put up with you for a long time!"

At this moment, I don't know who lit fireworks in the crowd and threw them at the mercenaries, mixed with ugly curses.

"Get out of town! Dungeon pariahs! ”

"It's because of you that the crime rate in the city is so high, a bunch of uncivilized barbarians!"

"You should stay underground forever, and don't be embarrassed in the city!"

The crackling explosion of fireworks and the curses of the crowd were the last threads that ignited the mercenary's anger, and they angrily rushed into the crowd and scuffled with the city's people.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Bob shouted with his hands in the air, but was quickly drowned out in the chaotic crowd.

Until someone let out a terrible scream, a mercenary with a colorful face obviously came up, and actually pulled out the scimitar at his waist and directly cut off the hands of the city residents who were entangled with him!

The severed hand flew in the air, the man fell to the ground, bleeding from the wound, and the crowd was silent for a moment, followed by even greater madness and chaos.

"The mercenaries have killed someone!"

"We're fighting them!"

"Protect our homes and drive them back underground!"

When someone's knife is dyed red first, the scene is unstoppable.

"It's over." Bob closed his eyes in despair.

The smell of gunpowder from fireworks explosions and rust from blood splattering floated in the air, and Roy stood in the doorway, stunned at the chaotic scene of brawl in front of him, muttering, "How can ......this be?"

He didn't know if it was a premeditated terrorist attack, but he could see it clearly, and even the ordinary passers-by, who seemed to have no combat training at all, joined the brawl with indignation and fanatical expression.

They seem to really think that the mercenary on the other side is their enemy, a heinous gangster, and they are the warriors guarding the city.

"Big Brother Bob, Big Brother Biting Wolf!"

The maiden, named Nightingale, also crowded to the door, and cried out eagerly, "Are you all right? ”

However, what she was waiting for was the incomprehensible look in everyone's eyes.

"This shop also seems to have a dungeon background."

"No, this is the mercenary's territory."

"Hmph, we have occupied the best part of the city, our business will not be able to continue, and the untouchables in the dungeon are parasites that will only suck the blood of our city!"

"Smash it!"

“……”

Under the coercion of extreme emotions, a group of people brazenly rushed into the fireworks shop and began to smash it unreasonably.

"Young Master!"

Arya exclaimed in the crowd, surrounded by people, and she cut off contact with Roy.

At that moment, a strong hand reached out from the crowd and pulled her over.
