The people of Beach Street can't escape three things: birth, death and the Baal.

Calvo, the boss of the Bales, liked this quote that he had stolen from somewhere. Despite the fact that Beach Street is crowded with several gangs, the Bale gang only has a casino and a few hundred yards of shops for protection.

On this day, Calvo wore a lizardskin coat and stayed in his room covered with a lizardskin blanket, enjoying the service of a maid who was said to have lizardman blood.

Soon after, the men below stand outside the door and tell him that Randy didn't come.

Calvo remembers Randy, who was a very shrewd fellow. Just like he did when he was younger. So Calvo never gave him a chance - because of a secret hidden in his heart: the former boss of the Bales gang was strangled by his own hands.

"Didn't Big Frest and Little Frest run after him all day?"

Then his men nervously told him that the big and small Frés were gone.

Calvo was thinking that when they returned, he would let them see the torture of Calvo the Lizardman. It's just that what he's waiting for is not the news of Randy's return, but that Randy and the five gang members have died tragically outside the territory.

Calvo the lizardman realizes that they may be in trouble for the Balaks.

And trouble soon came to the door.

……

"Do you want me to use an arcane missile to pierce this wooden door and fly dozens of yards through an unlucky person, or do you want Andrew to use demagogy to make a rat in the nearby gutter crawl out and frantically bite the person in the dream?"

Michael had the effect of opening the door, and the closed door of the casino suddenly opened, and a fat man in a lizard skin stepped out of the door with a flattering smile on his face: "Honorable Master Mage......"

"Let's get straight to the point." Michael interrupted Calvo's nonsense, "I looked into the Bale Gang's casino revenues when I came. To put it simply, your casino's net profit is about 70 silver coins per day, and the 30 or so stores controlled by the Bale Gang collect more than 3 gold coins a month. According to the Spellcaster Protection Act, when an attack is carried out by a non-individual force against the caster, the person concerned can claim compensation from the attacker, usually 50% of the normal revenue of the force for a period of 6 months. So from July to December, you will have to pay 13 gold narls to the Warlock Annan every month. ”

"I ...... Bale Gang ......"

Frankly speaking, only stunned Qing felt that as long as he gathered a few people, and then dared to fight and kill, he could form a gang by recruiting his subordinates, and from then on he would have no worries about food and clothing, and squeeze civilians and businessmen - in fact, behind the real gang was either the black gloves of the nobles or the big people covered them.

The Bales also have them, so if they find three fighters, Calvo will even ask his men to break their legs and sell them on the black market.

But two of the three people outside the door are spellcasters, and they are natural nobles. And the carriage parked on the side of the street had the emblem of the Mage Tower that made him tremble......

Calvo, the "lizardman" who frightened the civilians and stopped the children, bowed his head and gave in: "The Bale gang hinted at sending reparations. ”

"Send this month's compensation to the Morrowind Tavern in three days."

Michael Lisso, who had completed the claim, got into the carriage and returned to the tavern, where he noticed Annan's worried look.

"You don't look very happy."

"Because you just killed someone?" Andrew Luna guessed.

Annan shook his head, some damned people didn't make him uncomfortable when they died, especially the blue dragon's dragon claws that stretched out the rift like a toy, it was difficult for him to feel the weight of death, "I'm afraid that they will pass on the loss to civilians." ”

"You'll be a good lord, Annan." Andrew Luna said with relief, "Don't worry, the Bales will only squeeze the damn gamblers and blackmail the rich people who open shops." They know that civilians can't squeeze oil and water. ”

"Spellcaster Protection Act......" Annan remembered another thing, "Wouldn't the murderer of the attack on Reeves' convoy face huge compensation?" ”

Michael and Andrew Luna each made a different move at this point.

Michael examines the mage's defensive spells, and Andrew Luna quietly diffuses his aura of alarm.

Confirming that the carriage had not been bugged, they rerelaxed.

"You're finally admitting?"

"I'm just asking."

Pretending to be the only son of the Reeves family sounds wonderful...... The premise is that there is life to enjoy. Although Annan can happen to summon the Blue Dragon, Annan, who does not know other spells, is no different from ordinary people.

An arrow, a cup of poison can kill him.

"The Spellcaster Protection Act was just made up by me to deceive him." Michael said. "What does a gang leader who doesn't even know a word know? As long as he keeps persecuting him and doesn't have time to think, then provide a solution, and he will naturally think about it. ”

"But there is a similar bill in the south of the kingdom." Andrew Luna added.

The mage carriage with the constant light feather technique was quite steady, and on the way, Andrew Luna, in his aria-like chant tone, told Annan about the state of Breeze City:

For example, after the disappearance of the new lord Levi, Breeze City cannot live without the lord. So under the impetus of some old nobles, a young man with the surname Olmedo took over as lord of the city.

Seeing that Annan was still pretending to be confused, Andrew Luna had no choice but to put it more bluntly: "For historical reasons, the tradition in the North is that young people are never allowed to become lords of important towns. But the Reeves family is an exception, as one of the twelve kings of the North, the Reeves family is now in serious decay, and you are the only one left in this generation...... Ahem, only the only male is left. So the families of the remaining eleven kings allowed Levi to make an exception. ”

"Then Levi was attacked, and his fate was uncertain, and the Olmedo family and the old nobles used the excuse that Breeze City needed the city lord as an excuse to send Jeffrey Olmedo to the position of city lord."

That Augusta Olmedo sounded suspicious.

The carriage stopped on the street, and Annan they walked into the tavern.

“…… She didn't think I was going to make it, and then I said, I'll prove it to you. ”

"Did you do it?"

"If I did, I wouldn't sit here and brag to you."

"Hahaha, respect our departed ideals."

"Cheers! Now I can only go home and inherit my father's inheritance......"

"...... the"

The chatter in the tavern quickly turned into a quarrel and then into a brawl, with shouting and cheering.

Owner Andrew Luna is so used to it that he doesn't even bother to part with them.

"Do you want some wine to cool down?" He asked.

"No need."

Hesitant, Annan asked Michael if he could borrow the mage cart.

"Of course."

Michael and Andrew Luna looked at each other.

It seems that their little warlock friend wants to deal with some big secrets.
