On the long street, as the parade progressed, the atmosphere gradually became heated!
"Now that Downton's direct subordinates who can fight are not around, there is only one maid Juliet who can summon Dimaria, which is more troublesome. Do you still want to take action?"
In a two-story building, through the partially hidden glass windows, the assassins of the Brotherhood were staring at Downton who was walking slowly by.
"Please, if you want to die, don't drag us with you. Although the assassination opportunity is good, Downton's twin angels have never shown up. If they are summoned, we will be dead."
"It's said that Downton was seriously injured, but why can't I see it? Don't forget, this guy is less than twenty years old and his combat prowess is off the charts."
The other killers have shrunk their eggs. Although the Dark Brotherhood is lawless and often kills people, they are just looking at what others are doing. To be honest, they are not willing to provoke enemies like Downton, so they are not willing to accept this bounty.
The boss of the task was complaining in his heart.
The boss's expression was ugly. Just as he was about to say something to boost his morale, he saw hundreds of one-meter-and-two-meter crossbows fired at Downton.
These crossbow guns have thick mouths and are covered with spiral magic patterns. They streak through the air. In addition to compressing the air on the gun heads due to their rapid flight, forming a cone shape, they also bring out roars of giant dragons.
.
"Enemy attack? Haha, Downton is finished. This sneak attack was obviously planned in advance!"
The boss laughed heartily. If someone else had killed Downton, it would have saved him the trouble.
These crossbows are fired from crossbows, ten rounds at a time. To achieve such a covering strike, one must prepare in advance.
The security work of the Downton Legion is so bad that there is nothing we can do about it. He has never been a leader or experienced an assassination. Moreover, he has strong strength, which makes him not care about these.
"careful!"
Knightley was shocked when he saw those crossbows. They were magic-breaking crossbows. The price of each one was as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. In this round of volleys, millions of gold coins were spilled out, and the enemy paid such a high price.
, obviously determined to get results.
At the moment when the female mage gave the warning, many masked assassins sprang out from the houses and crowds on both sides. Some of them caused chaos and delayed the arrival of rescue, while others attacked Downton. Their tacit cooperation was beyond comprehension.
The long street suddenly became chaotic.
Downton remained calm in the face of danger and snorted coldly. He drew an arc with his hands and launched the ball. The crossbows seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand. They all stopped in front of him and were crushed by him.
It exploded into powder all over the sky.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The enemies were all experienced veterans. Downton had just received the first salvo, and they had already replaced the quiver of the crossbow and fired the second wave of attacks.
The assassins also came over and took off the crossbows hanging from their waists. They chose the right time to kill Downton. Even if Downton blocked the second wave of crossbows, he would still be injured by their crossbows because he was distracted.
Of course, it would be better to die.
Dominate the sky and beat the turtle!
Downton waved his fists continuously, and heavy punches of magic energy fell from the sky. However, instead of intercepting the crossbows and crossbow arrows, they hit the assassins.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the assassins below the Judgment level were killed. All the assassins at the Dragon Slaying level were also injured, and the offensive was blocked.
The body of the overlord!
Downton activated absolute defense, and when those crossbows hit his body, his skin was not even scratched, but was completely shattered.
Whoosh!
An assassin took advantage of others to attract Downton's attention, successfully sneaked up behind him, and stabbed a dagger filled with poison into his vest.
"That huge bounty is mine!"
As soon as the assassin finished having fun, he found that his wrist was grabbed. Then there was a click, and a heartbreaking pain swept through his nerves.
"Trash fish!"
Tang Zheng grabbed the assassin's head, used his five fingers to squeeze it and exploded it.
boom!
The headless body fell to the ground.
"withdraw!"
The assassins were shocked, knowing that their best opportunity had been lost, and began to retreat. In Downton's eyes, they were just a piece of shit, but to them, it was just a trump card, but in front of Downton, it was of no use at all.
"Did you run away?"
Downton waved his arms continuously, stretching out magic energy locks. After approaching the assassins who were dozens of meters away, he directly transformed into dragon claws, grabbed them, and then slammed them to the ground.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
A team of dark rangers arrived first. When they saw someone actually assassinating the servant of the god, they became furious. They showed off their skills one by one and hunted down the escapees.
puff!
The one who ran farthest thought he had escaped, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was pierced through the chest by a platinum dragon spear and fell from the roof.
"Can you not call me out on small scenes like this in the future?"
Edith frowned and complained.
"I think it's pretty good!"
Fiona pulled out her long sword and swung it to spread a halo of concentration. The panic of the crowd quickly calmed down. Seeing the angel with white wings appearing, they all knelt down to pray.
Fiona enjoys this pilgrimage!
In less than five minutes, all the assassins involved in the assassination were killed, and the Dark Ranger dragged their bodies in front of Downton.
"Find out their identities, capture their families, and demote them as slaves. I want the Assassin's Creed guys to know that if they want to go against me, be prepared to die!"
Looking at the equipment of the assassins, Downton exhaled and raised his voice and gave the order.
Ordinary citizens listened to Downton's cold orders, and their hearts trembled, knowing that this was not a benevolent king, but he was killing members of Assassin's Creed. It seemed that nothing could be done too much?
For the Magicians, this is a big event. Downton's order means that he will fight to the death with Assassin's Creed.
Even those wealthy families, although not afraid of Assassin's Creed, will not offend them. After all, they are one of the three major mysterious organizations in the mainland, and they may have business contacts, but Downton doesn't care at all.
"Did you see that? Fortunately we didn't take action, otherwise we would be the ones lying dead on the street now!"
A group of fraternity members had lingering fears and secretly looked at the boss and found that his face was pale and frightened, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just now.
"But having said that, isn't Downton too domineering? He actually declared war on Assassin's Creed? Is he tired of living?"
"Hey. There's nothing he can do about it. Assassin's Creed is different from us. Everyone eats the killer job. Failure is absolutely not allowed, otherwise it will affect the reputation. So Downton must die. Since he must become a mortal enemy,
Naturally, there can be no mercy."
"No matter what, I think Downton is very domineering. This kind of person is destined to leave a mark in the history of the Western Continent. I don't want to become a footnote to others' achievements."
After seeing the power of Downton, some Brotherhood killers were afraid that the boss would be stubborn, so they directly showed their cards.
Although no one died in the commotion just now, many people were trampled and injured. At this time, each one fell to the ground with a depressed expression.
"Anyone who is injured can go to the city hall to receive one hundred gold coins!"
Downton never hesitated to show his generosity. Instead of moving forward, he dismounted and walked towards the injured.
"Does it still hurt?"
Downton pressed the calf of a middle-aged woman and cast the healing wind.
"Do you think he did it on purpose or unintentionally?"
Knightley stared at Downton and asked the officiant. If this was a show, then she could only say: This guy is too scheming.
"He is very simple, okay!"
Andrea rolled her eyes and blamed her friend for her sinister thoughts.
"Can you prove it? I think you have been deceived."
The female mage lamented.
The female officiant originally wanted to say that Downton was an innocent little virgin who was so shy even when he saw a woman's naked body. What could she possibly have planned? However, thinking that these words would cause even greater misunderstandings, it was wise to keep her mouth shut.
Mouth.
The parade was temporarily suspended. As the chief priest, Andrea naturally shouldered the responsibility of treating the injured.
Wow wow wow!
A little girl was sitting on the ground, crying hoarsely. Her left calf was irregularly twisted, and the entire sole of her foot was deformed.
"Baby, don't cry. It doesn't hurt!"
A young woman was holding her daughter, shedding tears of distress. She was wearing a washed white linen robe, which was rough in texture and patched.
One hundred gold coins was the young woman's salary for half a year, but she was not happy, because according to previous habits, it would be nice to have a few gold coins in the end. Those government officials were experts at plucking feathers. Besides,
So what if I get a hundred gold coins? The woman's leg was so badly injured that there is no medical expenses, and if the treatment is delayed, she will definitely become disabled.
"Mom, it hurts!"
The little girl cried so hard that it made people feel sad.
"Little sister, don't cry. Be strong and don't make your mother worry!"
Downton squatted beside him, with a smile that looked like the warm sunshine of spring, and gently enchanted the little girl's forehead.
"Well, the baby doesn't cry!"
The little girl was very sensible and reached out to wipe the young woman's tears, but her little mouth curled up and down, and tears as big as soybeans rolled down. There was nothing she could do. Even an adult man couldn't bear this kind of injury.
"Baby!"
When the young woman heard this, she also started to cry, but when she saw that the person next to her who answered was Lord Downton, she was startled and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.
"Are you resenting me?"
Downton cast the healing wind to relieve the little girl's pain.
"Don't dare!"
The young woman's eyes wandered.
"I hate people lying the most!"
Downton's eyes had become sharp and overflowing with murderous intent. With his current soul pressure, a young woman who was just a commoner could not bear it, and the blood on his face instantly faded.
"If the girl stays, you must atone for your sins as a slave!" Downton waved his hand, and immediately a dark ranger rushed up to take the little girl away.
"Um?"
The onlookers were dumbfounded. They originally thought it would be a drama that was close to the people, but why did it turn into something evil on the street?
Andrea frowned, but did not stop him, while Knightley was very interested. As for Celeste and Juliet, they firmly believed that even if Downton did bad things, he had his reasons.
"Mother!"
The little girl cried and stretched out her hands to grab her mother, "Let me go, I want my mother!"
"No, don't take my child away!"
The young woman cried and ran after her daughter, but Downton pushed her away.
Even though Downton didn't use much force, everyone was shocked.
"Yes, I lied. You might as well kill me. I've had enough of this kind of life!" Seeing that her daughter was about to leave, the young woman finally collapsed and stared at Downton with resentment in her eyes, "Do you know
.I work fourteen hours a day, but I can only earn 30 copper coins, which is two pounds of black bread. I have a family to support. Do you know that the half day I wasted, our family
I'll be hungry for three days."
The young woman's words made some common people living in the slums lower their heads. They are all struggling at the bottom. The bosses don't care why the workers are late, they only care about it, so that they have another excuse to withhold their wages.
"I worked so hard for a month that I couldn't even buy half a pound of white bread. My daughter passed by the bakery and was drooling looking at the cakes, but she told me that she didn't like cakes. Black bread is the best.
Delicious, do you know how I felt at that time?"
The young woman screamed at Downton. "Surely a big shot like you doesn't know how I feel when I bring back those cake crumbs that others are going to throw away from the bakery every month and watch my daughter devour them?"
The long street was completely silent, filled with the roars of young women. The resentment of many years of poor life finally broke out at this moment.
"If I am lazy, then I will suffer. I admit it, but why can't I still feed my family even though I do more than anyone else? I can't even afford a piece of cake?"
the young woman questioned.
Downton was silent. Let alone the kings, there were slums in all the capitals of the nine empires. In this world, as long as classes exist, there will be no shortage of poor people.
"I'm going with you, don't bully my mother!"
The little girl's cries added a touch of sadness to the young woman's suffering. The citizens who had no sympathy for Downton originally, although they didn't say anything, still looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
"I know Downton is trying to build up his reputation, but is it self-defeating now?"
Knightley stood next to the female officiant and complained angrily. She had no doubts about Downton's character, but he was too eager for quick success.
The female officiant was about to step forward and use her status as a priest to clean up the mess for Downton, but this guy suddenly exploded.
When the citizens saw Downton pull out the dagger, they thought he was angry and wanted to kill the young woman, but they found that he had stuck the dagger in his thigh.
hiss!
A lot of gasping sounds were heard. At this point, no one knew what Downton wanted to do?
"I swear on my blood that I will make Frankfurt prosperous, let the people live happily, and become a second-rate power!"
With Downton's willpower, he could completely bear this pain.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily silent. No one would take such empty promises seriously.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to make you believe me and speak my mind, so I can only use this method!" Downton smiled at the young woman, then glanced around and spoke again, "I became
The first thing the king does is to eradicate the slums!"
Wow!
There was a huge noise everywhere, especially the poor people living there, who were completely boiling. Once the slums were demolished, they would not even have a place to stay.
"Please, sir, let us go?"
"We have never paid a copper penny less in taxes. Why are we treated like this?"
"Sir, you are forcing us to die!"
Listening to the petitions and cries, Downton pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"No, you misunderstood. I am not trying to drive you away, but I want to build free housing for you. As long as you meet the conditions, you can apply to move in."
After Downton finished speaking, the onlookers looked at him with disbelief and looked at him like idiots.
Among the nobles in this world, except for desperately trying to make money in their own pockets, who would care about others?
"Is Downton crazy? How much does this cost?"
Knightley was dumbfounded.
"What might he have in mind?"
The female officiant was not sure either.
"Hey, slums are the most troublesome problem for every high-ranking person. If it were so easy to solve, the nine empires would not have those stains."
Knightley didn't believe it, "Don't Downton just want some popularity? There really is no need to do this!"
"Believe me, the first batch of poor people will be able to move in within three months at the latest. If I make a mistake, I will give up the King's Hand and leave Delankfurt!"
Downton raised his hand and swore to the Goddess of Flame that no one would think he was joking this time. After all, he was a priest and would be punished if he told lies.
"Fortunately, I have already made plans for the slums, otherwise I would have lost a lot of gold coins."
Listening to Downton's first announcement on taking office, Abagon felt very happy that he was well prepared.
In fact, Downton was also prepared. The world in the dream gave him too many solutions. If it were in other cities, it would be really difficult to solve the slums, but it was different in the royal capital. The common people in the countryside, who
Don’t you want to live in the royal capital and be a royal capital citizen?
Why are life in the Royal Capital so bitter, and these poor people are unwilling to leave. At least they return to their hometown to visit relatives every year. They can say that they are from the Royal Capital, so the Royal Capital will always be prosperous, and its land will always be valuable.
Downton is already preparing to build high-rise buildings, so the freed land will have many uses. He believes that those big businessmen will not be stingy with gold coins to buy them.
Downton solved the problem of slums as soon as he took office, eradicated the stain of the royal capital, and received more taxes from businessmen. Over time, the royal capital will become more prosperous, and it has also improved the reputation among the poor.
Reputation is simply a benefit that comes with one stone.
"This guy is so cunning!"
When Downton explained his plan, Cheap God was stunned and asked Homer, "Is this what you taught him?"
"no!"
Homer was also surprised. He didn't realize that Downton was still a talented person with an internal affairs talent of over 90 points.
"Wow, the little girl is so cute!"
Hutao floated over on a flying skate and touched the little girl's head. The Dark Ranger was not stupid and didn't really take her away.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you get more job opportunities, and I will also order to limit the minimum salary. If you can't get it, you can report it to your respective bosses!"
Downton pinched the little girl's cheek and looked at her lying in her mother's arms. Although her leg injury was not healed yet, she endured not saying a word and couldn't help but feel reassured. Such kind people were the ones he wanted to help.
