Chapter 252: Teasing
Under the dazzling sun, the boy stood on a high place, where the wind was raging, and the water vapor with a strong fishy smell was blowing in his face.
As far as the eye can see, in the area where land and water meet, there are endless cargo ships docked in the water, and there are countless buildings on the shore. Under his sharpened eyesight, which had become more and more acute after advancing to the rank of Grand Knight, he could faintly distinguish the busy crowd on and off the shore, the cargo ships moving back and forth on the water, and the freight wagons moving back and forth on the shore.
From the memories of the Scarlet Priest, it is known that this is a trading port, its buyers are mainly powerful people from the interior, its sellers are mainly a shipwows of countless outlaws on the voyage of adventure, and the goods used to buy and sell are all kinds of deep-sea monsters.
These are just the things it shows on the bright side.
There are splendid opera halls, red light districts with singing and swallow dances, and slums infested with insects. As a result, there are parties of celebrities, gangs, and the wails of low-class refugees. All the scenes of human society, only the unexpected, the non-found, are gathered in this place. So, the people who live here call it Heaven, some call it the Golden Grotto, some call it the Land of Sin, and some call it Hell.
Here, at the western end of the continent, is an extended land shaped like a dagger that thrust into the depths of the ocean. In the past, whenever the two moons overlapped and the tide rose sharply, the deep-sea demonic beasts would use this land as a starting point to envelop the monstrous waves and invade the interior. When the Holy See was in power, it persecuted countless other forces and remnants of inhuman races to ignore it. Over the years, these persecuted people struggled to survive, and built a city of chaos here, a bridgehead against the monsters of the deep sea.
And the unfathomable commercial port in front of the boy was just a subsidiary town of the City of Chaos.
The real city of chaos is in the sea a few miles away from the shore, and at this time, a dark island can be faintly discerned from a distance.
From the priest's memory, the boy learned that it was not a simple island, and whenever the beast tide hit, it transformed into a titan giant standing in the water. It is said that this is one of the legacies of the wizarding forces, a half-finished giant god soldier with the ability to overwhelm mountains and seas, and once even resisted the king of the deep sea monsters, the giant Leviathan.
The city of chaos is built in the body of this giant god soldier, only part of it is exposed in peacetime, as a port for the return of long-distance hunting ships for repair, it is also the only place where outsiders can set foot in, and in wartime, all of them return to the inside of the giant god soldiers, and they are not visible.
That's all outsiders like the Crimson Church can know about the city of chaos. This shows the unfathomable extent of the chaotic city, and the commercial port in front of the boy is a small thing. It is precisely for this reason that since he traveled all the way to this place, relying on the priest's memory of the evaluation of this place, the young man was resolute and chose to settle in a safe trading port in the future.
It turns out that even a place outside the law has its rules.
Outside the port town, following the flow of people along the avenue, looking towards a gate under the far wall, you can see from afar that people enter the city with a coat of arms in their hands, which is lit up in front of the two guards at the gate.
This is a certificate to enter the city, with priestly memories, and the boy is not surprised by this. Therefore, when it was his turn to stand in front of the guards, he naturally spread his hands.
The guards, who were originally in a semi-empty state, suddenly lifted their spirits.
"Newcomer?"
"Newcomers. The boy nodded.
The guard pondered for a moment, looking at the boy's appearance.
The chicken's nest was like a messy beard and hair, and on the outside of the clothes that were rotten into strips of cloth was an unknown animal skin with decayed hair and poor condition, and there was a smell of earthy travel on his body, and a stone axe and a stone spear in his hand, a total of two tattered pieces. The only thing that can be seen is his sturdy physique. It seems that he is another unlucky guy who has fled to the wilderness in a hurry and has come here to seek refuge. It seems that he has two strengths, and he doesn't know who he provoked, so he had no way to come here to avoid trouble. It's a little lucky, just looking at the sound body and no scars, you know that he hasn't encountered any decent magical beasts along the way.
An ordinary person who says he is not very lucky, and he is not particularly unlucky when he says he is unlucky.
The guards thought about it in their hearts, so they put on a business-like posture.
"Turn around and head north, go to the place where the sailors are recruited, and join a fleet of sailing ships in exchange for the coat of arms. There was also a gate into the city. ”
The boy frowned.
This is to sell his life to the hunting fleet that licks blood at the knife every day.
In the priest's memory, there was more than one way to enter the city, and besides, under normal circumstances, the guards would not have made such a hasty decision on the life and death of others when they met for the first time.
He was being looked down upon, and he figured out the joints as soon as he figured it out, and his heart suddenly became angry.
"I've heard there's another way to get into town. His face was impassive.
When he first arrived, he didn't want to cause more trouble.
The guards laughed.
"I didn't expect that, you know a lot. That's right, another way, I'll take you to the Chamber of Commerce, and buy a coat of arms there, but ......," the guards glanced up and down, and sighed, "a rotten skin, two burning sticks, so be it, the city kids have a hand in imitating the coat of arms, I don't know if I can get a piece of your rags from them." ”
The crowd around laughed.
"Come on, Cardin. Take the children's graffiti toys to tease this guy, and if you want to change it, you have to change it. The man said and took out half a piece of bread full of tooth marks from his bosom, "My breakfast, there is still this left, it was originally used as a snack on the road, not to say a word, I will give it to you! After saying that, he squeezed his eyebrows.
"Poofhahahaha!"
"Kill me!"
The people around him laughed, and the stinking spittle splashed everywhere.
Looking at the people around him who were smiling wantonly, the boy knew that in front of this group of real outlaws, after all, his performance was too harmless to humans and animals.
In such a place full of male hormones, all the ugliness and all the desires are undisguised and violently released. In such a simple and straightforward place, strong is right and weak is wrong. Therefore, compared to the low-key style, wanton arrogance is the most suitable posture here. In such a place, it is you who needs to adjust your mentality.
At this moment, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
On the contrary, he laughed along.
The laughter could not be stopped, and the laughter grew louder and louder.
The people around him went from laughter to incomprehension, and from incomprehension to shock.
Soon, the crowd's loud laughter gradually stopped, until at last only the louder laughter of the teenager remained.
At this moment, most of the people tried to cover their ears, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at the young man.
But soon they didn't even have the strength to cover their ears, and one by one they were all weak and collapsed to the ground.
The young man's laughter was like a wave, and their hearts throbbed one after another, as if the laughter was beating their hearts, and it also drained their whole body of strength.
In their horrified eyes, wisps of blood-colored flames floated around the young man's body, the air shook, and his beard flew wildly, as if gods and demons had descended into the world, and they would turn their hands and destroy them at any time.
This terrifying sight was not brought to an end until the arrival of the captain of the guards.
The young man stopped laughing, and the pressure around him disappeared, and the crowd of people lying in the corpse suddenly got out of trouble, and immediately gasped for breath, and his whole body was sweating as if he had just been fished out of the water.
