Chapter 73 Sauron's Order Banner! (Third Change)

city ​​of fortune.

The shadow left by the chaos and killings that happened some time ago has not dissipated, and the city still looks a little deserted. There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and now a lot of trade has turned to Shipwreck Bay. So much so that even the life of the lower class poor in the city of wealth has become difficult. In previous years, there were endless jobs to be found on the docks at this time, but now the jobs on the docks have to be picked and picked. Many families who rely on selling coolies for a living are now living in very poor conditions.

Especially because of the arrival of the new year and the spread of chaos within the mainland, the gradually rising food prices made them even more sad.

Many have already regretted it.

Many people lost their relatives and friends that night, but after that night they realized that they lost far more than these.

The paladins left.

They actually succeeded in changing this place, reducing the evil here, but they did not allow the poor to live the life they wanted, because they were weak, and the weak were so vulnerable after the chaos. The gang power in the City of Fortune has decreased a lot. Many gangs were destroyed that night, but the destroyed gangs left many gaps. There have been too many bloody incidents in order to compete for these interests. From that day until now, the curfew in the City of Fortune has not been lifted, and many guards patrol every day.

The temple also seemed a little silent.

They don't seem to have any plans to do anything about the city of wealth that has gradually lost its former prosperity.

Maybe they've already done something, or made other decisions.

No one knew what the temple's plan was. Maybe they didn't care about the temporary depression, but for the poor at the bottom, they only knew that life was getting harder and harder. Food prices are still rising, and job opportunities are dwindling. The merchants who came over no longer provide economic consumption, and even the business of prostitutes and female wanderings has begun to deteriorate a lot. In the past, two Yindlers once had a pretty good-looking wandering, but now one Yindler can play twice. And let him open his small mouth to taste the flute for a while.

corner of the street.

Two shopkeepers with sad faces sat together, and one of the chubby shopkeepers raised his hand to wipe his sweat. Complained: "I heard that there is going to be a war in the south! Recently, the price of purchases has been increased by 30%, and the number of goods shipped from the south has decreased a lot. I heard that some trade routes have been cut off. There is also a red horse in Baima City. Long, now people are panicking everywhere."

Another thin shop owner also sighed when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Those are all good, they could have gone by sea. But now that there is such a commotion, many merchants dare not come here. I heard that Taylor A pirate king named Cutthroat has risen from the harbor and Shipwreck Bay. He is different from the previous pirate kings, he doesn’t like to lead his men to rob, and he also restrains others from messing around.”

"Many businessmen are now running to these two places."

The fat shop owner was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then asked: "No looting? Then how did he get his money and food? There are many pirates on the sea to make a living, so let them not rob. Don't they all have to drink the northwest wind?" ?”

The skinny store owner glanced outside and replied, "I don't know very well either."

"But there must be other ways to get money. I heard that some pirate leaders have changed their careers, and they have set up caravans. If you add the filial piety on the sea, it must be enough to support a group of men. Let’s talk about the trade on the south coast. Most of them are supported by the overseas islands. That’s the most profitable, tsk tsk. One vote can beat us for two or three years.”

"correct."

"I've heard during this time that the Lord Cutthroat is not completely free from robbing merchants. Recently, it has been heard that the order flag is being sold at Taylor Harbor and Shipwreck Bay, which is a large black flag. It is said that Pirates who are on the sea will not attack merchant ships. Those who do not fly the flag are somewhat uncertain. Anyway, I don’t know too well, the world has changed too fast recently, and something will happen every few days.”

"I've been worrying a lot lately."

"Thinking about whether to sell my shop, and then make some preparations to go back to the manor in the country."

The two chatted non-stop, talking too much is a recent thing.

suddenly!

They seemed to have heard a scream, and then they were full of wits. There was a lot of chaos during this period, and someone was hacked to death at the door of their shop the night before yesterday. The two of them didn't dare to go there when they heard the sound, but hurried to call the patrolling guards. After the guards came over ten minutes later, there was no movement in the alley where the sound came out. But this is also good, people who see nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing can live longer.

Once inside the alley, even the patrolling guard gasped!

There are a lot of dead bodies inside.

One of the guard captains with beards and full body armor turned over the corpse and looked at the corpse, his face suddenly became serious. He looked around and said with a bad expression: "He is a very powerful master!"

"These corpses were all killed in one blow, and the time of death did not exceed one minute. Such a powerful master must have already crossed that hurdle."

"Things are beyond our control, let's report it to the higher authorities for handling."

Twelve corpses on the ground.

All of them were killed by one blow, and the time of death did not exceed one minute. The last scream seemed to be caused by something else, otherwise there was no movement at all.

This is already a legendary combat power!

Not to mention that the captain of the guard just took a look and found that there were adventurers with similar skills as him in the corpse, and three of them were all third-tier professionals.

The matter was reported quickly, but it is hard to say whether anyone will take care of it.

the other side.

On a hidden beam, a young man in a cloak was sitting in the corner, playing with a golden gold coin in his hand, his expression seemed a little excited. The gold coin in his hand is quite special, it is not in the style of Kindler, and there is no portrait of Lady Fortune engraved on it, but the appearance of another goddess. There are strange patterns on the front and back of the gold coin, many of which are simply incomprehensible, but it does not affect people who see it for the first time to find its strangeness.

The young man stood up, picked up the gold coin and pointed it towards the sea, and said with a smile, "You're lucky!"

"Not only did I receive a big order this time, but I also just happened to meet someone who discovered the legendary lucky gold coin from the underground ruins! It seems that the goddess of luck is really looking after me this time!"

"The Throat Cutter?"

"If I kill you, I will have a good harvest this time!"
