It may not be true that a fist can solve all problems, but if it is big enough, it can make many things easier.

Xiuge's trip to Iris Street was not smooth, but it was not bumpy.

As Hugg said to General Butz, he didn't expect Iris Street to be ready and transformed in a day or two, but at least, he needed a clear attitude from these people on Iris Street.

If the group led by General Butz turned a blind eye to the real situation in the city of Salem and were determined to continue to carry out their own methods, Xiuge would not mind using the most violent "communication methods" against them.

Hugg thought about it carefully, and he found that he seemed to have to thank the member of the Black Sun Society who had lurked beside General Butz.

The Judicial Committee's blockade of the city of Salem has obviously succeeded in cutting off the communication and communication between these members of the Black Sun Society who remain in the city and the outside world, so it is very likely that they are now continuing to carry out the task they have accepted in the past, that is, to do their best to disturb and disrupt the order in the city.

As a veteran of the independent government for a long time, General Butz did not hesitate to pull down his face after seeing the terrible infiltration of his "territory" by the Black Sun Society.

He immediately grabbed Shuge and asked, wondering if he had any methods or magic that could identify members of the Black Sun Society.

Naturally, Shuge would not reveal the existence of the Black Sun Scepter, and he only lightly told Butz that he had "studied" some of the magical rituals within the Black Sun Society, so he was able to sense the magic level of the Black Sun Society members who had also been exposed to such rituals.

After receiving this answer, General Butz immediately made his own request, he hoped that with Xiuge's assistance, he could completely clean up the hidden dangers in Iris Street, and for this reason, he was willing to provide Xiuge with a large number of magic crystals, potions, or other alchemical materials that the mage needed.

And this request is exactly what Xiuge wants.

From the moment he stepped into Iris Street, he had already wanted to do something to these hidden members of the association, and after witnessing the *** of the Black Sun Association, Xiuge's tolerance for these people was infinitely close to zero.

And Xiuge didn't expect that he would be able to get such an open and honest meeting.

It's even paid!

In a silent tacit understanding, Xiuge and the others sat down in the meeting room again, and this time, the atmosphere of the conversation had changed subtly but importantly, although the two sides still retained a considerable degree of caution and vigilance, but the discussion was already about those specific methods and measures.

Iris Street is at its busiest at noon, when the neighborhood can even revert to its pre-disaster appearance.

At the warmest and brightest moment of the sun, a large number of shops and warehouses in Iris Street will be opened for a short time, and all the residents who live here will gather here, for them, now is not only the time to collect supplies from Iris Street, but also an important time for all the survivors to gather and "trade".

It's just that now the trade of all the survivors in Salem City has completely returned to the most primitive state of barter, as for the coins...... In this apocalyptic scenario, a low-quality crystalline bullet would be worth more than ten generic gold coins.

All kinds of canned food, magic crystals of different qualities, thin and thick clothes, and various magical alchemy objects that can still be used are the most valuable "currency" in the city now.

As for the exchange and trade of weapons such as crystalline guns, they must be witnessed and registered by the clerk of Iris Street.

The location of such transactions was also set in a larger shop, which was once the largest royal souvenir shop in Iris Street, but has now been transformed into a regular warehouse.

Following the "guidance" of the Black Sun Scepter, Xiug came to the door of the shop.

He listened to the voices coming from the store, looked at the swaying figures, and couldn't help but open to one of the Iris Street officers who followed him

"I thought you would put an end to the trade in weapons, and even take away the weapons of the survivors......

"We've thought about it, but we can't."

The officer shrugged, "Not everyone trusts us, and now is the time when there is a shortage of people, if someone spreads the news, I'm afraid no one will dare to come."

"That's ......."

Hug read softly, and then his gaze fell to the side of the store's door, where he saw a strange pattern painted in magical oil paint, looking like a sneaky, big-eared goblin dressed as a thief.

Due to the artist's terrible skills, the big-eared goblin is not only distorted but also very obscene, and no longer looks like a goblin thief, but like a goblin robber.

"Your Excellency, is the target in it? Do we need to go in with you?"

"No, lock down the store, don't let anyone else in, and detain everyone who leaves halfway...... Reason for yourselves."

Shuge replied, and he headed for the store.

As soon as he stepped through the door, his attention was drawn to the sound of an argument coming from the depths of the store.

Shug easily discognised a somewhat familiar voice from the brawling, and he smiled, letting go of a survivor who had walked out of the store with a crystallized bullet bag, and walked inward against the edge of the shop.

Soon, Shuge saw a familiar figure of an extremely burly, tall man, sitting in an exaggerated chair, but even so, he was still a lot taller than the average person.

At this moment, this incomparably large figure was propping up the top of a long table with his hands, and opposite him, a man with messy hair was roaring angrily. Chinese Net

"Is that how you deceived us? Look at these bullets, which of them can be used? The crystals inside have no magic at all...... Do you want us to use such bullets against monsters and then be swallowed by them?"

As he spoke, he slapped a bag of bullets the long table, and a large number of crystallized bullets scattered out of the bag and spilled on the table with a fragmentary sound.

Many of the people present couldn't help but let out a low cry, because they all knew that most of these crystalline bullets were very dim, which meant that the magic crystals that filled and embedded inside the bullets were actually no longer magical.

Crystalline bullets that have lost their mana will be difficult to fire through the crystallizer, and even if its mana stock can still support firing, there is probably no way to produce a normal mana explosion when it hits the target.

This is indeed an extremely bad and serious accident.

Anyone who has survived the battle in Salem until now knows that a small explosion of magic caused by crystallized bullets is enough to injure and repel a certain size of "Silt" monsters, but if there are serious mistakes and mistakes when shooting, then these shooters are also doomed to pay a huge price.

"Guys, you'd better open your bullet pouches and check them out!"

Under the influence of the excitement, the man's face began to turn red, and he shouted excitedly, "I have counted, forty crystalline bullets, and twenty-eight of them have no magic at all! The rest are defective products with only a little bit of magic!"

He looked up and looked viciously at the massive figure sitting behind the long table, "I knew you damn ogres couldn't change your nature! Even when the time comes, are you going to squeeze oil and water out of us humans?"

Behind the long table, the huge figure reached out his hand, and he delicately picked up a crystalline bullet from the table, lifted it to his eyes, and observed it carefully.

This person with an unusual body and who has just been reviled as an "ogre" is naturally the owner of the "Alchemy Thief" shop in Salem City, Gerald.

It was also this alchemy shop owner who claimed to have a certain "ogre bloodline" who provided Xiuge with some extremely important magic materials, and the magical abilities exchanged from this helped Xiuge get through the most difficult time

That period.

Although he had already heard about Gerald from the members of the Tricolor Brotherhood, he was still genuinely happy to see such an old acquaintance on Iris Street.

Gerald didn't notice Shogg's arrival, and his attention was all focused on the crystallized bullet in front of him.

He gently shook his thick fingers, causing the bullet to slowly spin between his fingers, and at this moment, Gerald showed an astonishing concentration that was completely different from his own appearance and body shape, and this attitude of concentration was so extreme that even some of the people who were making noise couldn't help but close their mouths.

After about ten seconds, Gerald lowered his hand, and he casually threw the bullet away, causing it to remingle with his own kind.

Instead of getting angry or explaining, he scratched his head in some confusion and furrowed his eyebrows.

Then, in his deep voice, Gerald asked, "How did you do that?"

"What?"

The man, who had been busy venting his anger, was a little confused by Gerald's calm question, but before he could make the next move, Gerald had already asked his second question slowly.

He spoke slowly, sounding like he was worried that the other person wouldn't be able to hear him.

"I mean, what exactly did you do to drain the mana inside without damaging the crystallized bullets? You don't look like a mage, do you?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere in the entire store became a little strange, and a few of the survivors who reacted quickly did not hesitate to walk outside the store in a cautious manner.

The man with messy hair scowled slightly, but then he raised his hand and slapped the table hard, and roared again, "Okay...... I knew that not only were you not going to be responsible for this, but you were even going to put the problem and the responsibility on me?"

Before he could finish speaking, an astonishing loud bang echoed through the shop.

The strength of a person with ogre blood is naturally much greater than that of ordinary people, and Gerald's speed is extremely amazing, with Xiuge's current reaction speed, he almost couldn't see Gerald's movements when he raised his hand.

As for the man who had used the crystallized bullet to find fault, he was now stunned by the loud bang and the wind that Gerald's palm set off as he shook.

Gerald slowly raised his hand, only to see that a crystallized bullet on the table had fallen directly into the table under his fierce smash.

"A lot of people in Salem know me...... Even the most trouble-loving person must admit that I am one of the best alchemists in the city...... You can't hide this little trick from me."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up from his wide chair, his intimidating figure standing in the sunlight, and the deterrent power brought by him was needless to say.

Many of the people present laughed at this moment, Gerald was not lying, and they really didn't get anything problematic here, so in an instant, these people all chose to be on Gerald's side.

Seeing that the conflict was likely to escalate further, a rather gentle voice came from the side.

"General Boots doesn't want anything to go wrong in Iris Street...... Any kind of deception is not allowed here."

People turned their heads to look, only to see a young mage slowly walking out of the way while using the mage's hand to push away the people who were standing in front of him.

The young mage, who had managed to attract everyone's attention, came to the edge of the long table, and the mage's hand picked up a crystallized bullet that had tumbled to the ground for him, and hovered it directly in front of his eyes.

Shug simply glanced at the bullet twice, and then laughed at Gerald's extremely surprised gaze, "It's actually very simple to do this, if a mage directly uses these crystallized bullets as magic crystals to replenish his mana, then he can easily drain the mana from these bullets......

He paused, then turned his gaze to the man whose expression began to change rapidly: "

However, this method itself does not have any real efficiency or significance, after all, the crystals used in this type of bullet have not been purified at all, and the magic power drawn from them is too messy to effectively replenish the magic power."

After saying that, Xiuge threw away the bullet with his hand, and slowly took two steps, directly blocking the man's retreat.

In the man's slightly frightened gaze, Xiu Ge seduced, "Well, I know it's not your problem, it's not your idea...... After all, you're not a mage at all, and naturally there's no way to exhaust the magic power in those bullets."

"So, who is the person doing this? Can you tell me?"
