City of Wealth.

The shadows left by the chaos and killing that happened some time ago have not yet dissipated, and the city is still a bit deserted. There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and now many trades have turned to shipwreck bays. Even the lives of the poor in the lower class of the City of Wealth have become more difficult. In previous years, there were endless work to be done on the dock, but now the work on the dock has to be picked. Many families who rely on selling their labor have now lived a very difficult life.

Especially because of the arrival of the New Year and the spread of chaos within the mainland, the gradual increase in food prices made them even more sad.

Many people have already regretted it.

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

The paladins left.

They actually successfully changed the place and reduced the evil here, but did not allow the poor to live the life they wanted, because they were the weak, and the weak were so fragile after the chaos. The gang forces in the City of Fortune were much less powerful. Many gangs were destroyed that night, but many gaps were left behind. Too many bloodshed incidents had occurred in order to compete for these interests. From that day to now, the curfew in the City of Fortune has not been lifted, and there are many guards patrols every day.

The temple also seemed a little silent.

They seem to have no intention of doing anything about the city of wealth that has gradually lost its prosperous past.

Maybe they have done something, or made other decisions.

No one knows what the temple plans. Maybe they don’t care about the temporary depression, but for the poor at the bottom, they only know that life is getting harder and harder. The prices of food are still rising, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for work. The merchants who came here no longer provide economic consumption, and the business of prostitutes and female liuying has begun to get worse. In the past, two Yindlers were once quite beautiful. Now they can play with one Yindler twice, and they even open their mouths to enjoy the flute for a while.

A corner of the street.

Two shop owners with a little frowning face sat together. One of the chubby shop owners raised their hand to wipe their sweat and complained: "I heard that the south is going to fight! The purchase price has been 30% higher recently. There are a lot of things transported there in the south. I heard that some commercial routes have been cut off. There are also red dragons in Baima City, and now there are panic everywhere."

Another thinner shop owner sighed and said slowly: "Those are all okay. They could have been by sea. But now there is such a mess, many merchants dare not come. I heard that a pirate king named the Throat Cutler has emerged from the Port of Taylor and the Bay of Shipwrecks. He is different from the previous pirate kings. He doesn't like to take his men to rob, and he also restricts others from doing whatever he wants."

"Now many businessmen are running to these two places."

The fat shop owner was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Don't robbery? Then how can he get his money and food? There are many pirates on the sea to make a living. If they don't rob, they will have to drink the northwest wind?"

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

"But there must be other ways to make money. I heard that some pirate leaders have changed careers and have started caravans in a good manner. If we add the filial piety from Shanghai, it will definitely be enough to support our subordinates. Besides, most of the trade on the South Coast is supported by overseas archipelago. That's how much money you earn. Tsk, one vote will be worth two or three years."

“By the way.”

"I have heard during this period that the priest named the Throat Cutler is not completely robbing merchants. Recently, I heard that the order flags are being sold in the Port of Taylor and the Shipwreck Bay. It is a big black flag. It is said that if the pirates on the sea are hung on the sea, they will not attack merchant ships. Those who do not hang the flags are a little uncertain. Anyway, I don't know very well that the world has become too fast recently, and something will happen every few days."

"I've been worried recently."

"I wonder if I'll sell my store and then prepare to go back to the countryside manor."

The two of them kept chatting, and talking too much was the latest incident.

Suddenly!

They seemed to hear a scream, and then they were full of cleverness. There was a lot of chaos during this period. The day before yesterday, someone was hacked to death at the door of their shop at night. The two of them didn't dare to go over when they heard the sound, but hurried to call the patrol guards. After the guards came over for about ten minutes, there was no movement in the alley where the sound came out. But that's fine. Only those who saw nothing, heard nothing, and knew nothing could live longer.

As soon as I entered the alley, even the patrol guards couldn't help but gasp!

There are many corpses inside.

One of the bearded guard captains wearing armor turned on and looked at the corpse. The expression on his face suddenly became serious. He looked at his left and right and said, "He is a very powerful master!"

"These corpses were killed in one blow, and the death time would not exceed one minute. Such a powerful expert probably has overcome that hurdle."

"We can't manage the matter, so we'd better report it to the superiors to handle it."

Twelve corpses on the ground.

All were killed in one blow, and the death time was no more than a minute. The last scream seemed to be because of something else, otherwise there would be no movement at all.

This is already a legendary combat power!

Not to mention that the guard captain just took a look and found that there were adventurers in the corpse who were almost as good as him, three of whom were conservative professionals.

The matter was reported soon, but it is hard to say whether anyone will care about it next.

……………………

The other side.

On a hidden beam, a young man in a cloak sat at the corner of the house. He was playing with a golden gold coin in his hand, and his expression seemed to be a little excited. The gold coin in his hand was quite special, not in the style of Jindler, and there was no avatar of the lady of Wealth on it, but the appearance of another goddess. There were strange patterns on the front and back of the gold coin, which many of which could not be understood at all, but did not affect the strangeness of the person who saw it at first sight.

The young man stood up, picked up the gold coins and turned to the direction of the sea, and smiled and said, "I'm so lucky!"

"This time, not only did I receive a big order, but I also happened to encounter someone who discovered the legendary lucky gold coins from the underground ruins! It seems that the goddess of luck is really favoring me this time!"

"A throat cutter?"

"Kill you and I will be a great harvest this time!"
