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!”
