Chapter 683 Son of the Devil
In the spring of 1543, three years have passed since the third demon tide recovered, and it is also the third year after the end of the Ten Years of War in the Old Continent.
Return Island is an island located in the first half of the Golden Channel of the Old and New Continents. The Golden Channel starts with Black Fire Island close to the Old Continent. It goes through Storm Gorge, Giant Island, Gold Coast, Pearl Bay, and Twin Island. Return Island is adjacent to Storm Gorge and is a gathering place for merchant ships to and from the other side.
Although the Hammer Tavern is still during the day, the business here is already very hot. At this time, the storm in Storm Gorge has entered a period of decline. More and more merchant ships gathered here, preparing to pass through Storm Gorge and head to the New World.
"Hey, have you heard of the Comit City in the Kingdom of Seavers disappeared."
In a corner of the tavern, a strong man with a beard said in a mysterious tone.
Hearing this, some of his companions were attracted by interest.
"Really? Comite City is a relatively large city in Seavers. It has a population of hundreds of thousands alone. How could it disappear out of thin air?"
"This is indeed true, but no one knows why. Some people say that a cultist sacrificed the entire city to the evil god, and some people say that a monster Su Xing swallowed the city of Comite in one mouthful."
Before the bearded man could speak, someone answered the conversation at the table next to him.
"No, it's totally nonsense to swallow a city in one bite."
After a can of beer was eaten, someone refuted it, and the tavern became more and more lively for a while.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The Baron Fargas of the Kingdom of Sutilt gave birth to a demon. When he was born, he was accompanied by the flames of sin, which directly burned the entire Fargas territory to white land. In the end, it was the priests of the Storm Church who took action to stop the spread of the fire."
The quarrels came and disappeared quickly, and soon people changed the topic.
"I know, you are talking about the son of the demon, Soyri Fargas. A year ago, everyone was happy that the kind Baron Fargas finally had descendants, but no one expected that the one who was born was actually a demon."
As he spoke, the speaker was filled with sighs.
"Son of the Devil?"
"Yes, Son of Demon, Soyri Fargas disappeared after the rumored fire. The Storm Church and the Kingdom officials also issued a wanted warrant for him, codenamed Son of Demon, with a reward of 1,000 Jinjialong."
When it comes to this topic, more and more people are participating, especially after the bounty amount of 1,000 Jin Jialong appeared, which has triggered the whole audience. For everyone present, 1,000 Jin Jialong is not a small amount. If they can get it, then maybe they can retire earlier.
"Don't think about it. If the Devil's Son was so easy to capture, the people of the Kingdom and the Church would have succeeded long ago."
Looking at the greed in everyone's eyes, the person who had just spoken sneered. Hearing this, someone extinguished the greed in his eyes, but more people were still passionate in their hearts. After all, wealth is touching. If the kingdom and the church cannot be caught, it does not mean that I cannot be caught either.
"This is a good thing, but Mandaemon Son is just a one-year-old baby. Is he really still alive?"
"Tsk, ignorant, the Demon Son was born to manipulate flames, and obviously possessed extraordinary power. How could such a person be compared with an ordinary child?"
Before I knew it, the topic turned a corner.
"It's really nothing to be strange. The kingdom and the church will definitely not issue rewards at will. And have few strange things happened in the past years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded and expressed their agreement.
Since then, the whole world has changed after the gods returned three years ago. Originally, the ten-year war in the Old Continent ended, everyone thought life would get better, but they didn’t expect that the truth was not the case. All kinds of strange things emerged one after another, such as suddenly demonized pets, cannibal monsters wandering in the dark nights of the city, etc., and various cultists have also become rampant. The most important thing is that in recent years, the overall grain output of the Old Continent has dropped to a large level, and many countries with low grain output have become unfilled.
"In other words, compared to last year, the total grain output in the Kingdom of Seavers has dropped again this year."
"Sephus? So is Suthirt Kingdom."
At this moment, the tavern is like a pot of boiled water. Compared to those strange things that don’t know the truth or the falsehood, the grain output is more likely to resonate with everyone. After all, everyone has to eat.
"Hey, how can you live like this?"
Guru Guru drank a glass of beer, and someone sighed.
After hearing this, many people felt sad for a while, and of course, some people felt disdainful.
"What are you lamenting? Didn't you make a fortune by spending food between the new and old continents in the past two years?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at the person who had sighed before. At this time, the guy seemed to be drunk by a glass of beer and fell on the table, and booed for a moment.
"But to be honest, have you considered immigrating to the New World? Compared with the Old World, the New World seems to have not been affected in recent years, and it exports a large amount of food to the Old World every year."
"I thought about it, but that's so easy. All my foundations are in the old continent. If I can move, just move."
"Yes, the New World is a wild land after all, and there is prosperity for the old world."
"And it is not that the New World was unaffected, but the believer who mercifully in the Holy Oak Church gave him a sequence of potions called agriculture. I heard that the extraordinary people who walked on this path could solve the problem of the cursed land."
Speaking of this, the person who spoke lowered his voice, and the crowd was instead aroused a strong interest. For a moment, some secrets about the Holy Oak Church of the New World began to spread in this tavern.
"This is to be a superman with great effort to be a mud leg?"
"What is mud legs? It's new farmers. Moreover, this potion sequence is strictly controlled by the Green Field Leader and the Holy Oak Church. Except for their internal personnel, no one can get it. Even if you want to be such mud legs."
"Tsk, I think you have to be a knight if you become an extraordinary person."
As they were talking, the quarrels appeared again, and at this moment someone kicked open the door of the tavern.
"The Deer Antler Chamber of Commerce is about to set off. If you want to form a team, you should sign up quickly."
His eyes glanced around the tavern and the person who came said loudly.
Hearing this, many people stood up quickly. Over the years, Green Field Leader vigorously cleared the golden waterway and maintained the stability of the waterway, but various dangers are still emerging one after another. For small merchants, affiliation with a reputable chamber of commerce is a very good choice. Even if you need to pay a considerable fee, it is worth it. As an island adjacent to Storm Gorge, Return Island is a customary place, where many merchant ships will gather and set off together.
"I sign up, I sign up."
