Chapter 5 Deadwood City
Due to the increasing frequency of cult activities in recent times, the [Supreme Council] has issued a strict order to enter the city to all cities-
All residents entering and leaving need to use the monitoring crystal delegated by the Supreme Council to identify whether they are cultists.
Yoshu is [Shadow Thorn]. This profession is not strictly considered an evil profession, so there was no reaction when the crystal light shines, and the process went smoothly.
But that fanatical second-level priest is different. As a dark priest, he can't pass the supervision of the city gate.
Just in case, I asked Xiu to let the swordsman stay with him.
Both of them are believers with extreme beliefs, firmly believing that Joshua is the seventh apostle, even though he later said something suspected to be a service to the gods.
If you don’t have the front, it doesn’t mean that you can’t let them enter the city.
The Dead Wood City is a border city, and it is not very wealthy compared to those mainland cities. It is quite famous in the nearby areas.
The name of Dead Wood City has two origins. One is that it is surrounded by a large number of dead trees, and the other is a local specialty. It is made of these withered black mantong through special channels, Dead Wood wine.
However, there is also a legend in Kumu City, which is said to be a legendary strong man from the wilderness who lived here.
He missed the dead wood wine in his hometown and specially used great magic to transform the environment, allowing Hei Mantong to grow up here, and the brewing method was also passed on to the local chamber of commerce.
This chamber of commerce has made a lot of money because of this, growing from the small chamber of commerce back then, and now it has its branches nearby.
Now there are city guards wandering everywhere in the city because there have been many cult incidents recently, which have caused panic and unstable security.
As a result, these city guards could only work hard but not much benefit and often had a bad face.
After taking most of the money from the two of them, Yue Xiu first used 50 silver coins to ask the priest to relieve his weakness, and then spent 30 silver coins to allow a street tramp to find a female branch.
This female branch tempted a child to help him buy a black fox mask through Xiao Xu's price.
He put on the black fox mask and asked Xiu to go to the weapon store to buy three whiteboard daggers, which cost him a total of 300 silver coins.
At the same time, he went to the equipment store to buy some items he thought he needed. Now he has no money, about four or five hundred silver coins, and I don’t know if he can buy the remaining things.
After almost the preparation, I made an appointment to bypass the lively urban area and come to the slums.
Unlike in the city, slums are thriving on the surface, but they are filled with a corruption and depravity, which is the unique atmosphere of every gutter.
As I walked along the way, I had been entangled by many street ladies and had also knocked off my claws that had sneaked into my wallet several times.
You can see many homeless people on both sides of the street. These are driven out by homeless people in the city. If you ask for money for a month here, it may not be as good as going to the city for one day.
Every industry, no matter how humble and lowly it is, it has their class precepts, and it is not easy for the poor to survive.
This is also the reason why more than 40 people took the bait when they heard Yoshu say that it might be a surprise to get rid of the status of a poor man.
According to memories of his previous life, Yoshu came to a tavern in a slum. As soon as he entered, a strong smell of mold stimulated Yoshu's nerves and subconsciously wrinkled his nose.
In the continent of Chiron, taverns in slums are often places where these poor people vent their stress in life, so they are very noisy.
"Ponby, I heard you are quite promising recently? Follow Boss Franken, I guess you will be able to get out of the slums in a few years."
"Duozha, what are you talking about? I just do some hard work under the boss, just a change of head."
"Tsk tsk, Boss Fyken is a professional. Compared to the stingy sting before, isn't he just a little foreman on the dock? That's called showing off."
"Yes, I'll be with the boss. Although I can't make a few gold coins a year, it's much better than following the one to take a skin."
"Several gold coins..."
The speaker's tone was so sour. People in slums may not be able to own a gold coin in their entire lives, but the other party just talked casually for a year.
After changing his mind, can he also get on the line for professionals? At this time, he saw the Qaishou, and his mind became flexible. Should he...
“Huh?”
After seeing that Yoshu came in, everyone stopped moving and whispered for a moment. Some people seemed to notice Yoshu's youth and began to tease.
"Oh, boy, your mask is pretty good, I'll lend it to the uncle."
A big man laughed, drunk, and reached out to take off the mask of You Xiu.
In a tavern in a slum, similar daily life is their lack of fun, and many people make a fuss when they see this scene.
For those who pretend to be a ghost like Yoshu, they have brought joy to the tavern people.
Duozha was about to whistle, but suddenly Ponby covered his mouth, and Duozha subconsciously resisted.
Pombie said coldly: "Look, let's talk about it."
You Xiu snorted coldly, and a white light flashed by, and the big man's hand that was stretched out was cut off by You Xiu with a dagger!
"|Professional!"
Everyone in the tavern exclaimed, that for those of them at the bottom, no professional can be provoked.
For a moment, they immediately fell silent, lowered their heads, and never dared to look at Xiu again.
Yue Xiu looked around, came to the front desk and sat down, and said coldly: "Four bottles of white wine, one bottle of dead wood wine!"
After the boss knew that Yoshu was a professional, he asked the servants to bring these five bottles of wine as quickly as possible.
They are taverns in slums, but as the boss, they are still somewhat privately hidden.
After getting what he wanted, he asked Xiu to turn around and leave. As for the money for the wine, the poor people present would pay for it on their behalf. This is an unwritten rule and as the price of offending professionals!
These five bottles of wine are very expensive for them, but it is already good to save their lives.
Duoza looked at Ponby with gratitude. If it weren't for the other party's reminder, his savings in the next year might have been wasted.
Yo Xiu was in a good mood because he didn't have much money now, so it was a bit reluctant to buy those bottles of wine, and he might even have to put aside his pride and let the boss give him a discount.
The appearance of that man made him not too surprised. You should know that the price of these five bottles of wine is about 500 silver coins, which is almost up to the weapon he bought.
After wandering around several streets in the slums, this way of walking is also of certain importance.
According to the strategy of a player in his previous life, he came to a dead end, arranged them in the shape of five-pointed stars, and placed dead wood wine at the top.
After doing this, Ye Xiu left. About three hours later, he came to the alley again, and the five bottles of wine had disappeared.
In the direction where the wine was previously placed, about three steps back, and Suo peeled off a note from the corner of the wall with an address written on it.
I asked Xiu to smile. He had only heard of it before, but now he tried it, it was true.
This is the secret contact method of the Dead Wood Chamber of Commerce that sells Dead Wood Wine. When using this method to contact, they all do underground activities.
It is said that you can also get membership-level treatment using this method, and you can get a 10% discount on any transaction.
With this line, the matter of asking the two followers to enter the city was solved.
Next...
"Kulle, I hope you don't let her be hurt, otherwise, I will let you know that death is actually the most kind gift of the gods."
[Fraudster] is a very special profession, not a specialty for combat, at least it seems like this in the early stage.
However, Yoshu, who had advanced to the end of the profession of [Fraud Master], knew that the profession of [Fraud Master] was very powerful, almost as strong as a bug.
Even if it is a second-level advanced profession, even if there are not many combat skills, it is so weird that it is even more unimaginable than the warlock of [Shadow Thorn], a sorcerer known as a thief.
Whether it is upgrade or skills, it is extremely special.
Nights on the Qilun Continent are often the most active time for shadows.
Especially the recent heresy incidents have been very popular. Even in border cities like [Duck Wood City], patrols at night have been unprecedentedly strengthened, which is even more stringent than during the day.
Many wandering vagabonds are detained and investigated once they are discovered. No matter how cautious the people are, most of them are arrested. The night when the catastrophe is coming, it is no longer a paradise for thieves.
However, for the Yoshu who is the secondary profession [Shadow Sect], this is nothing.
The ghost step of up to 40 points allows Yoshu to avoid supervision with the search for crystal balls with fixed wizard mage [Amaterasu's Eye].
The garrison in Fumin District is much stricter than in other places, so it is not easy to avoid the repairs.
After using a few small stones to make several colleagues suffer, Yoshu still successfully touched Kule's house.
"Lei!" Thinking of this girl who was dependent on her for life, Yo Xiu couldn't help but step up a little.
