Chapter 341: 　 fig leaf

A series of gunshots sounded in the bar, and the dense, rain-like gunshots choked people with high intelligence.
They have never heard such gunfire. Violent and fierce.
Under Mato's nod, a flame soldier who swept across the ground with a gun retreated. A gap was torn in the floor of Old Rock's bar. Looking at the jagged edges, many people felt cold behind their backs. They looked at the fiery rifle in the soldier's hand. Then he swept over a dozen soldiers armed with synchronized guns, and everyone looked bitter.
The power that the raging fire rifle has just shown clearly tells these adventurers that if those powerful bullets hit them, it will be enough to bury most of the adventurers who have an average level of only seven or eight in this border city.
"You waste too much time." A rough voice rang.
Only then did people notice that the tower-like man with a warhammer stood out from the crowd. The warhammer gave a light meal on the floor of the bar, but everyone felt a sense of movement. It is not the ground that shakes, but their senses. The man continuously released his own terrifying murderous aura, and that kind of aura can only be condensed by a person who has come out of the sea of ​​the corpse mountain to condense such a real murderous intent.
Looking across the audience, the big man said solemnly: "Follow me."
Looking at Kira and his party again, he squinted his eyes and said, "And you, Belmode. You caught that guy, right?"
Belmode said in a huff: "Have you seen me picking up girls?"
"Talk to Edward about that kind of thing."
"Damn it!" Belmode caught his hair.
Kira looked at him in surprise: "Do you know that person?"
"how?"
"He's very strong, there are fourteen and five levels, right?" Kira said.
Belmode stood up and said: "That guy is called Bloy, my boss's original team. It's really amazing, but it's not the strongest one."
"Your boss..." Kira laughed bitterly: "So you have such a powerful companion, no wonder you haven't agreed to my invitation."
"I have promised you another vital invitation." Belmode blinked.
Kira's breathing was a little short: "Perhaps I can invite you again tonight."
"It's a pleasure." Belmode put his hand on his left chest and bowed.
The adventurers left the bar one after another, and when they were all gone, Old Rock was relieved. He sat down and realized that his feet were too soft to stand up.
In Storm City, when Maude had just completed a set of fencing practice, Joey hurriedly slammed into the door. Maude frowned and said, "Joy, when can you keep your focus?"
"This is not the time to talk about these things, father. There is an emergency."
"Why, did your people get that spinning machine back?"
"No, father. He killed it." Joey smiled bitterly. "The news just got that Ollie was captured last night and executed by the new city lord. Now in the city of Suer, all the adventurers have gathered. , The new city lord Edward announced to them that all this is your conspiracy. Damn, Ollie has some items on his body, they do have the logo of our Storm City, and now even the old guys in the Adventurer Association in the city are asking us to give an explanation ."
Maude shook his head and said, "Trash, Joey, remember that in the future, you should raise less trash like this."
"I know, father. What should I do now, do I need to show a statement?"
"Statement?" Maude laughed. He put the fencing sword on the weapon rack by the wall and shook his head: "It seems that I still underestimated the city of Suer. What is the name of the new city lord?"
"Edward."
"Edward, yes. Unexpectedly, he handled it so high-profile. If we produce a statement at this time, it will only make people feel wrong." Maude's smile gradually became colder: "Since Sul City is so ignorant, then Let’s start a war at all. It’s just for your subordinates to steal things. Cute Dehua shouldn’t point the finger at me. If we don’t respond, how would others think of us.
"I can't just declare war just because of this..." Qiao Yi said.
"That's right, even if there is a war, I have to find a reason. Then, now I will chase Ollie as a knight." Maude sneered: "Knight who killed my Storm City, if there is no suitable compensation, I will use it. The army has stepped down on the walls of Suhl. It’s hard for others to say, right?"
Ollie is just a subordinate of Joey, and it is logically impossible to be named a knight. But now, Maude has directly chased him. Of course, this detail does not need to be explained to outsiders, and in this way, if the knight of Storm City is executed privately, Maude can use this to pursue Suhl City. Wars between nobles have become the norm, but when they start a war, they will find some fig leafs to prevent themselves from falling into the moral strait.
Such an approach like Maud is an extraordinary method.
Soon, Storm City issued a statement. The statement severely condemned Sul City for using lynching and executed Knight Ollie. In the name of Maude himself, Suhl City is required to pay a lot of compensation for this, and City Lord Edward needs to apologize publicly for this. The harshness of the statement and the harshness of the demand for compensation did not put Edward, who is also a knight, in his eyes.
More importantly, at the end of the statement, there was no mention of why the banned knight of Storm City would appear in the city lord's mansion in Sul City. Maude shunned the most important things and laid the groundwork for dispatching troops to attack Suer City.
Suer City quickly responded, naturally rejecting Storm City's demanding requirements, so a storm of war was brewing between the two cities.
After a heavy rain, the air was exceptionally fresh. Rainwater desperately burrows down to the surface, it will be stored, and after natural filtration, it will merge with the rivers flowing underground, and the endless supply will provide the Violet Harbor with clean drinking water.
At noon on this day, after rain and clear weather, when a rainbow crossed the sky, a caravan was welcomed in Violet Harbor. In this regard, the guards of the city did not care. There are always one or two caravans like this every day. But the caravan came from the direction of the blood rock wasteland, which is quite surprising. Especially this caravan is obviously not from Storm City, which makes people even more concerned.
The guards ignored this, they only cared about whether the caravan’s tariffs were sufficient.
Violet Port is built on the edge of the Silver Gull Strait and is a typical seaside city. Passing from the entrance facing the blood rock wasteland, passing through an arched city gate, before the caravan is a ramp that winds down. The left side of the ramp is the mountain wall, and the right side is the cliff. You can see a golden sandy beach extending forward, gradually sinking into the shiny sapphire sea.
The caravan drove down gradually along the ramp, and Allen, who was on his horse, saw the city built on the strait. Due to the strong sea breeze, the buildings in the city are dominated by bungalows. From a distance, the houses with civil structures look like square chess pieces falling on the base of the city. A lot of rich greenery is interspersed between the cities with earthy yellow as the main color.
There are many bazaars and three piers here. Every day, hundreds of sailing ships send special products or commodities from several nearby cities to the inland. Inland merchants will also transport some unique commodities to Violet Port, and then send them to other cities through the hands of local merchants, thus forming a prosperous business chain.
"The barbecue here is a must, and another cold beer, the taste is really unforgettable." Sean also rode a war horse. Although the war horse seized from the band of bandits of Daddy Dick is strong, it can afford Sean. This big fat man also made this warhorse a little strenuous.
Allen walked side by side with the fat man and said with a smile, "I will trouble Mr. Sean to make arrangements that night."
"Master Ellen is polite, let's stay at the Oasis Hotel first. Then we sell these treasures first, and I will arrange for everyone to have a nice meal in the evening." Sean said, patting his chest like the host, but the fact is He didn't come to this Violet Harbor just a few times.
Allen nodded in agreement, and then said, "So, shall the goods we have on hand be shipped to the market or sold in a larger chamber of commerce?"
"About this, I have already thought about it. After selling those horses, I will meet someone. His name is Roger, one of the chambers of commerce here, and one of the members of Violet Harbor. I worked with him before. After a few times, I believe he can give us a good price."
"That's good."
Oasis Hotel is one of the several big hotels in Violet Harbor~EbookFREE.me~ Two tall coconut trees are planted in front of the hotel, and there is a small artificially excavated lake and a greenery behind. This is usually a place for holding parties, but it is also quite an oasis. After Shaun led the caravan to check in in the hotel, he took Allen to find some horse dealers.
Horses are very good for sale, especially war horses. In view of the fact that there was no such means of transportation in this world, the mobile forces used by the nobles were almost mainly war horses. Even in several cities in the empire, some families have lived by raising horses for generations. Therefore, it is not difficult to sell the ten horses in Allen's hand, the only difference lies in the price.
In the end, the two negotiated the price with one of the horse dealers and took the people back to the hotel when they were ready to pick up the horses. But when I saw a group of people watching something at the stable, suddenly a person jumped out and fell to the ground. The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a sturdy face, stood up again, and was about to get into the crowd. Allen saw him, stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?"
It turned out that this person was a member of the mountain king's army. He should have been assigned to guard the horses, so he didn't know who had the conflict with. Seeing Alan, the soldier snorted: "My lord, someone wants to grab our horse!"
