Episode 12 The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 1 Going to Sea Again 1
As the night gets darker, it seems that nothing has happened. The Black Market City has returned to its former peace and bustle, with noisy taverns and brothels filled with music and laughter. The Black Market City is worthy of the title of a man's paradise.
The people here will not feel the bloodshed that just happened, and they will enjoy themselves as much as they want.
The four streets have not changed much, and are still controlled by the four major thieves groups.
If there is any difference, it is that the main cadres of the four major thieves groups are gathered in the central store. Sitting on the high platform in the center is Corey, who covers his face with a cloak.
Mengka shows his true face.
On the left, Raymond puts his feet on the table as usual. The thieves are having a meeting here, not a meeting of nobles, so there is no need for so much etiquette. Feiyan is leaning against him. On the right, Jackson and Heihu are sitting together.
On the table, there is a wooden hammer in his hand.
"The Empire of Sibeihamo, the province of Lucky Kano. Whoever surrenders 2,000 magic crystal coins every quarter is willing to be the leader there." Black Tiger has a detailed list of the properties of the four groups in his hand, and it is exactly what will be auctioned.
The leaders of various provinces and districts in various countries can become the underworld leader in that area only by handing over a certain number of coins. This rule has been explained to everyone before they enter the auction house.
Everything seems to be going very smoothly. All the people sitting in this venue are cadres of the thieves group. At this time, they have the opportunity to improve their status. They can't even smell the bloody smell that still remains on the street. For Xueshan and Jianxiang,
He didn't care about the corpse of the group leader anymore.
"Thieves only recognize coins and not people. Who knows whether these people can be trusted in the future." Corey said to himself.
When Raymond heard this, he turned sideways and whispered: "One more thing, thieves like to follow the strong. As long as you don't fail, they will not betray you."
Corey nodded slightly: "Yes, if Jianxiang and Xueshan kill Black Tiger, then these people will fight to the death and show their merits to them. I think the world of thieves is simpler than politics."
Raymond smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, politicians are less human than thieves. If you fight to the death today, you might be able to give your concubine to the other party tomorrow. In short, the trust between politicians is measured in seconds.
degree.
Corey and Raymond chatted quietly. Everyone who signed the letter of responsibility and received the appointment certificate would come to the two of them and salute before retreating.
Suddenly, after receiving the appointment certificate, a cadre stopped in front of Corey and Raymond's table. He first bowed and saluted, and then asked: "When we go back and become kings on our own, aren't the two eldest brothers worried?" Hearing this?
When he said this, Corey was a little surprised. He raised his head and glanced at the cadre. He replied lightly: "It's up to you. If you want to rebel, make preparations in advance."
The question asked by this cadre was surprising, and Corey's answer was even more unexpected for everyone. The thieves cadres who were originally in high spirits in the venue suddenly fell silent and looked at the stage.
The cadre who asked the question was also a little stupid. He originally wanted to show his loyalty and remind him what to do if someone goes back and rebels again, but Corey's expression was indifferent, which made him not know what to say next.
What to order.
Corey laughed and pulled down his cloak, fearing that others would see his face. Then he stood up and walked a few steps to the edge of the stage: "Captain Jianxiang, he claims to be the best in the underworld in swordsmanship. That's amazing."
. But he died and the Jianxiang Thieves Group changed its leader. That’s because I am better than him. If any of you want to sit on this stage, then go back and prepare well, practice swordsmanship or magic diligently, kill me, and sit on your own.
On the stage, I will be the boss, but let me remind you, don’t risk your own death, I still need someone to help me guard my territory.”
After finishing speaking, Corey pulled his cloak lower, turned and left the stage.
Encouraging his subordinates to rebel was unheard of. When Black Tiger saw Corey preparing to leave, he immediately got up and knelt down on one knee: "Master, I have decided to follow you and I will swear allegiance to you to the death."
Corey nodded, reached out to help Heihu, and left the venue with a smile.
After returning to his room, Mengka asked in confusion: "Master, why do you encourage them to rebel?"
"Hehe." Corey sneered twice: "Thieves are different from the army. Even if I don't say anything, these guys are trying to be the boss every day. It's better if I explain it clearly. Besides, they are not strong enough.
People, I'm afraid, will put away their rebellious thoughts."
"That's good." Raymond opened the door and came in: "As long as they are strong enough, they can't change the world. Let them be hostile to each other before and be managed by the young master. This is the most brilliant way."
Corey nodded slightly: "I'm not afraid of them rebelling, I'm afraid that they will unite against me. No matter how powerful one or two people are, they dare to pour just a few drops of water on the fire. I have another worry. I feel that this time it will be too much.
It went well, I heard that these three thieves groups have contacts with many powerful people."
"This is nothing. It's nothing more than some exchanges between interests. How we did it in the past, now we can just keep it the same and there will be no problem. Black Tiger will naturally arrange this. The most fortunate thing is that the second group of the four thieves groups is intact, and the other two groups are intact.
The regiment did not lose any outstanding manpower. We continued to let the four regiments appear separately and become enemies of each other, and subdued the four thieves groups without anyone noticing." Raymond said with a smile.
"Then what's the point of staying here? If I had known it, I wouldn't have come out. It's not fun at all." Corey shook his head and sighed in disappointment.
Raymond smiled and made a gesture to Mengka. Mengka understood and immediately went out to arrange for people to leave. There was no value left in this black market city. After the arrangements were made, Mengka went to Keka specially.
Zen there, gave Kekaze a Thunder Eagle token, and secretly monitored the four thieves groups.
Jackson is in the light, Kekaze is in the dark, and the black city is considered one of Corey's territories.
Detailed plans were originally prepared, but after one lucky accident after another, they all failed. Corey took a large amount of coins and did nothing. Fortunately, he took over the Black Market City and returned home with a full load.
Corona City is the only way to connect Thunder Eagle City and the seaport to the outside world. Apart from the rolling mountains and virgin forests on both sides, there is only one normal official road that passes through Corona City to reach Thunder Eagle City, and passes through Thunder Eagle.
The city can reach the harbor.
At this time, Corona City is no longer the small town that Corey was messing around with many years ago. The city walls have been expanded three times, the streets have become wider, and the city is filled with taverns, hotels and other places. A large number of merchants come here to trade with their goods.
It is precisely because Thunder Eagle City does not produce any output, so everything must be purchased close to it.
There are countless beautiful manors around Thunder Eagle City, which can produce fruits, grains, etc. that even the manor itself cannot support, let alone the countless nobles in the city. Thunder Eagle City is not accessible to ordinary people. They can only reach
Corona City and Thunder Eagle City have countless nobles and soldiers who need a lot of supplies. This has led to the prosperity of Corona City's business.
Mancini, as Corey's eldest brother, is the city lord of Corona City. He is sitting in front of the high window of the city lord's mansion. He can see the prosperous street outside the window. He is holding a necklace in his hand. This is Corey's.
Second brother, the necklace left by his biological brother.
"Oh...why, how could this idiot..." Mancini muttered to himself, while picking up a letter from the table. This was written by his father. The letter asked about the real situation, that even he
The father did not believe that his brother would die for the kingdom.
