Chapter 11

2014-08-16

Black Rock City, one of the southern city-states of the Titus Kingdom, is backed by the Rhineau River known as the economic artery of Titus . With convenient water and land transportation and developed economy and trade, it is known as the Title of Little Pearl of the South.

A hundred miles to the west of Black Rock City is the original Little Stone Village. After Tang En left the woods, he devoted himself to the system training, and he didn't rush too much. Originally, Black Rock City, which was only half a day away, ended up floating in the wild after 5-6 days.

At this point, the system once again released Quest.

The Quest is to find the Assassins' Guild and join it.

This is a necessary Quest for Assassin, as well as the Mission Limit of seventy-two hours. If it fails, the experience will be reset to zero the first time, Blood Qi will be reset to zero the second time, and the life will be over the third time.

Because of the lack of various materials in Other World, Old Butler can't give any good advice for this Quest, he can only let him find the town early. Assassins' Guild is a trade that is closely related to money, so it is more likely to be found in the city.

Tang En walked along the road for two hours and saw a majestic city in the distance.

"Black Rock City?" When he walked to the bottom of the city, Tang En couldn't help but stare at the big characters on the city wall. Why is the name of this city a little familiar... By the way, York once said, that Sethman passed by here before he came to Little Stone Village.

"It seems that I and Sethman are at odds with each other. Well, it's important to improve his strength, so let him live for a few more days." Tang En said bitterly, touching the axe.

"What, the entrance fee for ten Copper Coins?" Tang En encountered a problem when he entered the city gate.

"No? Just stand by if you don't." The gun-toting guard was expressionless.

Tang En was dissatisfied: "Didn't that carriage just go directly?"

The guard gave him a contemptuous look: "They are nobles, why don't you put them on your waist? Can you compare to a country bumpkin with a rotten axe?"

"Fuck!" Tang En stepped aside dejectedly.

Having been in the Other World for more than ten days, Tang En is just in the wild, and he will only be able to get enough food and clothing. How can there be any money.

Come back at night and flip over the city wall? Tang En turned his head and came up with an idea. But looking at the towering city wall stacked with large azure black rocks, and the huge crossbow arrows showing cold glow side by side, he rationally dismissed this idea.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

Just as Tang En was thinking about how to enter the town, there was a commotion from the city gate. Looking up, it turned out that another luxury carriage was passing by, and the cavalry guards were expelling the people in line.

Hey, carriage...Tang En slapped his palm, quickly squeezed into the crowd, and approached the carriage.

To say this, you can see the results of the recent training. Although the crowd was crowded, Tang En was like a fish in the water, twisting and turning without stopping.

Tang En also discovered his abilities at this time, and he couldn't help but sighed with emotion: With this skill in his previous life, what kind of bus can't be crowded...

Avoided the front of the horse The screaming Knight, Tang En figure dipped, jumped from the backing crowd, and got into the bottom of the carriage in an instant.

Wait for a few seconds, nothing unusual. Take a breath, haha, done! You want to stop an Assassin by breaking the city gate, you are too naive...

"Joah, did you have a good time today?"

Uh, Tang En was stunned, a magnetic A male voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and it was the person in the car who was talking.

"Well, it's fine. Thank you for the invitation, Vincent." The female voice sounded a little cold: "However, please call me Joah, or Miss Chloe?"

The man said in a helpless tone: "Okay, Joah. You are still so sensitive."

"If it hurts you, I am sorry. I am sorry that I am not used to calling me that from people other than my family. "

"It's okay, I'll call you Joah one day."

"hehe, isn't it..."

Tang En in Curl one's lip under the car, give it up boy, the falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on.

But obviously the man didn't think so, he said confidently: "Well, yes, I will definitely work hard. I know you like autumn orchid and blue roses. autumn orchid we are today Look, the blue roses won't bloom until next season. But don't worry, I've ordered a farm to plant them."

There is no doubt that the owner of this carriage is also in Black Rock City some nobleman. Therefore, the carriage did not stop at the city gate, and went straight through the tunnel into the city.

"Vincent, I really appreciate your kindness. But the farm is used to produce food, not flowers."

"It's okay, I don't mind!"

"Uh...but the farmer would mind."

"They? Why would they mind?"

   …

Because they have to eat and pay rent, big brother...Tang En secretly sighed, taking advantage of the carriage pedestrians on the road in the city, turned over and got out of the car.

Tang En's Luckily, no one cares about the sudden appearance of passers-by on the street.

Tang En didn't take too much seriously about the conversation just now. Although he is saddened by what happened to those farmers, he is currently powerless to defend himself.

"Fuck, where can I find Assassins' Guild? You can't just ask anyone..." Tang En walked aimlessly along the side of the road.

Black Rock City is known as the Little Pearl of the South, and the construction in the city will naturally not lag behind. At least what Tang En saw in the city gate is very good. Compared with the modern city before the crossing, although there are fewer fashionable high-rise buildings, all kinds of buildings full of classical beauty make Tang En very comfortable to watch.

The road paved with green bricks stretches in all directions, and horses' hooves tick on it. There are also several unknown statues erected on both sides of the street from time to time, making Tang En stop from time to time. Well, don't get me wrong, Tang En isn't specifically looking at those open-minded female statues... Of course, even if you do, you're looking at it with an artistic eye. For example,

"tsk tsk, this is not bad, it really is the infinite scenery on the dangerous peak."

"Yo, this is realistic, that is, the flower is not placed in the location, alas, A piece of green grass, what is your whole flower? There is no beauty, and art is ruined..."

............

cough cough, it's important to get down to business. Business matters. Tang En touched his chin: "I can't tell, I have to find someone to ask..."

Assassin is a profession, no matter where it is, it is hidden, after all, it is to take people's money and people The act of life. It's really hard to find them. But the dragon has the way of the dragon, and the rat has the way of the rat. Those who have gone down the path of the nine streams and found favoritism are often very well-informed. Although sometimes the accuracy is not guaranteed, it is a clue anyway.

It's not easy to find Assassin, but it's not difficult to find a rogue. Tang En decided to start with these people.

Black Rock City South Port, because of the Rhineau River, is the most prosperous place in Black Rock City and the main source of city tax revenue.

Such an economical and geographically important port is naturally the focus of the work of Black Rock City officials. At least three-fifths of Black Rock City's guard force is stationed here all year round, and the sheriff of Black Rock City once declared that no matter where there is chaos in Southport, their cavalry will be within a half-bead hourglass (about five minutes). arrive on site.

But like a delicious cake, it attracts not only delicate knives and forks, but also flies.

Southport has some of the toughest security conditions in the city, but its darkest forces are also the most rampant. First of all, the sheriffs of Black Rock City didn't care about these "little fleas", they just waved their hands and sent elite cavalry to clear them up. In order to show their determination, the sheriffs did not stop at the hanging post in the central plaza of Black Rock City on Sundays during that period of time.

But then the dark forces counterattacked violently, and the city officials and cavalry were bloody revenge. In the homes of officials, in the streets patrolled by cavalry, death was staged every moment. At that time, it was the darkest time in Black Rock City. There were constant screams and screams in the streets and alleys, and the air was filled with blood-reeking qi. Residents of the city locked their doors, day and night, and dared not go out.

The chaos continued for a whole month, and in the end it was unknown what kind of agreement was reached, and the two sides finally ceased fire. Since then, Southport's law and order has been the most severe, but Southport's dark forces still exist, and both sides have maintained calm on the surface.

A middle-aged man in a three-cornered hat and a ragged sackcloth walks in a hurry at a loading dock in Southport, and people around him can't help but look contemptuous.

Some people knowingly asked and joked: "Damn gambler, work is going to start at noon, where are you going?"

The middle age person doesn't care about others either With a look of contempt, chuckled said: "I am very lucky today, I will go to gamble for ten minutes to try my luck." , making him lose his luck.

The person who asked couldn't help but look at the head: "This gambler, sooner or later, will be hacked to death on the street by the people who put money in the casino." Gambling nature, as long as he has a penny, he will go to the casino to try his luck. Throughout the year, he spends more time in the casino than at home. Even when his wife was sick, he was in the casino, and in the end his wife just let go.

Anyone with a bit of humanity must change after this, but not a bad gambler. After a few days of depression, he still ran to the casino. This kind of person looks down on him even if he is a black person.

However, today's bad gambler's "lucky luck" obviously can't last to the casino. While following the shortcut and crossing a deep alley, he was directly strangled by the neck and dragged into the corner.

Before the rotten gambler began to shout, a sharp axe was placed around his neck from behind.

"Don't, don't kill me, and have something to say. Is it the one-eyed boss? I have the money, and I will pay it back..."

"Shut up. I ask, you Answer. Do you understand?"

The rotten gambler's head lit up like garlic.

"Know where Assassins' Guild is?" Without a doubt, that person was Tang En. He wandered around town for a while before finally wandering to Southport to catch the despised rotten gambler.

"Uh, kill, Assassins' Guild? No, never heard of..."

"en?" The axe tightened again.

"Don't, I've heard of it, I've heard of...Assassin, Assassin...the one who chopped off the hand, I, I..."

The one who chopped off the hand? Tang En didn't know whether to cry or laugh, coldly said again: "Are you kidding me? Assassin kills."

"Murder? Killing organization...I know, I really know Now, it's Thief Guild!"

Uh, Tang En was stunned, and turned to slap himself. Come on, this is the Other World, there's no such thing as Assassin. The devil beast world has been playing for nothing in college for a few years, and Thief has forgotten...

"Address?" Tang En took back the axe.

“West City District Bluestone Avenue.”

“Thank you!”

“No, you’re welcome…do you have any questions?”

"Well...you said just now that you are rich?"

Well, now it's the turn of the rotten gambler who wants to slap himself: "Yes, a little..."

"How much is one point?"

"Five, six...seven Silver Coins."

...

Choking behind me There seemed to be silence, and the rotten gambler hurriedly said again: "Total eighteen."

"Lend me ten, and I will pay you back double this time tomorrow." Without a penny, there is an axe all over the body. No one wants this stuff even if it wants to be.

"Ah...this, this, look at what you said, isn't it ten or ten Silver Coins, you...are you really still?" The rotten gambler's heart is bleeding, damn it , 10 Silver Coins, just 25 for the month I just received. Double it? The devil doesn't believe it! Has anyone borrowed money with an axe around someone's neck?

But he doesn't have much choice right now. If the opponent wants to be strong, then the 25 Silver Coins on him will be gone. Thinking of this, the rotten gambler trembled and counted ten Silver Coins and handed them to his back.

"Of course! Well, this axe is very important to me. I'll put it on you as a mortgage first, and I'll take it in three days at the latest. However, you heard me clearly, if this If you lose the axe, I will kill you." Of course Tang En was really prepared to pay back the money.

"It's over." Hearing Tang En's this remark, the rotten gambler felt even colder. This guy is a veteran. If he mortgaged the axe to me, it would not be a robbery. Even if he was caught by the sheriff, he would have an excuse to say that it was sold to me.

"I remember what you looked like, remember, keep this axe."

The annoyed rotten gambler only felt his hand sink, and an axe was placed in his hand. in.

For a moment, the rotten gambler peeked back cautiously, and there was nothing behind him, and there was no trace of anyone in the long alley.

Bangdang——

The rotten gambler threw the axe on the wall: "I xx, the thief who killed a thousand knives, rob your uncle ten Silver Coins, ten Silver Coin ah...damn, I curse you for a hanging post tomorrow..." followed by a string of cursing slang.

It wasn't until the bad gambler had said all the slang words he could think of before pausing to take a deep breath.

"Huh... No, I have to go to the casino to make money back." Thinking of the casino, the bad gambler suddenly regained a lot of energy, and hurried out of the unfortunate alley and ran towards the casino.

After a while, the rotten gambler groped back and picked up the axe on the ground.

"Damn it, who knows if the stupid thief is telling the truth, let's take it first and throw it away after three days."
