Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The City of Wealth.

The looming aftermath of the chaos and massacres happening during this period had yet to disperse. The entire city was still a little deserted. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and now, a lot of the trade had turned to the Shipwreck Bay. Even the lives of the lower class people in the City of Wealth grew harder. In the past, there were endless jobs on the wharf, but now, the work on the wharf had to be picky. Many families who lived by selling workers for a living were now living in a tight spot.

Especially because of the arrival of the new year, as well as the chaos, spreading within the mainland, the gradually increasing food prices made their lives harder.

Many people have already regretted it.

Many people lost their relatives and friends that night, but they didn’t realize the lost more than that until after the night was over.

The paladins left.

They had successfully changed this place. They reduced the amount of evil but had not let the poor live the life they wanted. Because they were weak, and the weak were so vulnerable after the chaos. The power of the gangs in the City of Wealth decreased. Many gangs were destroyed that night, but there were many gaps left behind by the destroyed gangs. To fight for these interests, there had been too much bloodshed. From that day until now, the curfew on the City of Wealth had not been lifted. There were still many guards on patrols every day.

The temple had also seemed a little silent.

Towards the City of Wealth, which was gradually losing its former prosperity, they did not seem to be doing anything.

Maybe they had already done something or had even decided on something else.

No one knew what the temple was going to do. Maybe they did not care about the temporary recession, but for the poor at the bottom, they only knew that the days were getting worse. Food prices were still rising, and there were fewer and fewer opportunities to work. The businessmen who came here no longer provide economic consumption and the businesses with prostitutes and hookers were starting to get worse too. In the past, two Silver Derahls was enough for one good time with a pretty hooker. But now, they could play twice with one Silver Derahl. They even let them have a little blowjob for a while.

At a corner of the street, two shopkeepers sat miserably together. One of them—a fat shopkeeper, raised his hand to wipe away his sweat and complained: “I heard there is going to be a war in the south! Recently, the purchase price of imports was 30% higher. There are a lot fewer goods shipped from the south. I heard that some business routes have been cut off. It’s also said that there was even a Red Dragon in Whiteruns, making everyone live in fear now. ”

The other skinner shopkeeper also sighed and slowly said: “Those are all still okay. At first, they could have still gone by sea. But now with this commotion, many businessmen don’t dare come here. I’ve heard that there is a pirate king named Throat Cutter rising in Port Tylon and the Shipwreck Bay. He is different from the former pirate king. He doesn’t like to rob with his subordinates, and he even restricts the rest from doing as they please.”

“Now many businessmen have gone to these two places.”

The fat shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, then asked, “He doesn’t rob? Then, how would does he get his money and food? There are quite a lot of pirates on the sea trying for a living. If they don’t rob, wouldn’t they be eating air?”

The skinny shopkeeper took a look outside and replied: “I’m not too sure either.”

“But what is for sure is that he must have other ways to get money right. It’s said that some pirate leaders have changed their paths. They have seemingly set up caravans. If we added the bribes on the seas, it would be enough to support their group of subordinates. Besides, most of the trade on the south coast is supported by the Outer Islands. That must earn a lot. Tsk tsk. One bet on us lasting two to three years. ”

“Right.”

“I have heard during this period that the Throat Cutter did not completely stop robbing merchants. Recently, I heard that there are people selling flags in Port Tylon and Shipwreck Bay. It’s a big black flag. It’s said that pirates hanging these flags on the sea won’t attack merchant ships. As for those who don’t hang these flags, it’s more ambiguous. Anyway, I’m not too sure. The world is changing too fast recently with something happening every few days. ”

“I’ve been very worried lately.”

“I wonder if I should sell my shop, and then make some preparations to go back to my villa in my hometown.”

Two people kept chatting, much of it was on the latest issues.

Suddenly!

They seemed to have heard a scream. They were all quick-witted. There has been a lot of chaos going on during this period. The night before yesterday, some people were chopped to death just outside their shop’s doorstep. When both of them heard the voice, they did not dare to go over. Instead, they hurriedly called for the patrolling guards. When the guards reached, it had already been more than ten minutes later. There were no movements in the lane where the voice was heard. But it was better like that. Only people who did not see, hear, or know anything were able to live longer.

Once in the alley, even the patrolling guards unwillingly gasped!

There were a lot of corpses there.

One of the guard captains with a beard and full body armor looked at the corpses, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious. He looked at the unpleasant faces on his left and right and said, “He’s quite a master!”

“All these corpses were all killed with a single blow... and quickly too. By estimation, such a powerful expert has already crossed the threshold.”

“This isn’t something we can manage. We’d better report it to the higher-ups for them to handle.”

Twelve corpses were on the ground.

All of them were killed by a single blow, and their deaths were no more than one minute apart. The last scream seemed to have been because of something else. Otherwise, there was no movement at all.

This was already a legendary level of combat power!

Not to mention that the guard captain just took a look and found that there were Adventurers who were almost as skilled as him among the bodies. Three of them were all grade three professions by conservative estimates.

Things were soon reported upwards, but it was hard to say if anyone was going to be in charge next.

The other side.

On a hidden beam, a young man in a cloak sat at the corner of the room, playing with a shiny golden gold coin in his hand. His expression seemed to be a little excited. The gold coin in his hand was quite special. It was not in the style of a Derahl, and there was no picture of the Riches Lady on it, but the shape of another goddess was engraved. There were strange patterns on the obverse and reverse sides of the gold coin, many of which could not be understood at all. But that did not affect the people who saw it at first sight to realize its uniqueness.

The young man stood up, picked up the gold coin and faced the sea, and smilingly said: “My luck’s not bad!”

“This time, I not only received a large order but also happened to meet someone who found the legendary lucky gold coin from the underground ruins! It looks like Lady Luck is looking after me this time! ”

“Throat Cutter eh?”

“If I kill you, I will be having a big harvest!”
