341 Evil thoughts
In the cold wind, the city of Caronte is still the same cold appearance, most of the people hide in their homes, the poor people snuggle up to each other to keep warm, and the rich gather around the warm fireplace, talking indifferently and pointing the country. The servants of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info behind them, bringing cold fruit wine, because the fire of the fireplace was so hot that the room they were in even had a summer feeling.
Beta walked down the street, and saw that every now and then a curled emaciated corpse would be covered in frost on both sides of the road, and he sighed slightly, and then pretended to turn a blind eye.
The world is too dangerous, especially for ordinary people. Not to mention that the demonic beasts in the suburbs can kill them, and the hunger and cold alone will follow them...... Whether the lords of a region are doing well or not depends to a large extent on whether the lord is merciful or not.
Now it is clear that the lord of Caronte City is not such a benevolent person.
When Beta was a lord in the game, because of the extremely low agricultural tax and good citizen welfare, almost no one in his territory died of hunger and cold every winter, and if there was, it was an accident, not a wanderer, or a beggar.
Shirley and Emma followed him, and the two women were not surprised by the beggars or the corpses of wanderers on both sides of the street.
Shirley is a divine creature, born to be high, and is not interested in mundane things at all, except for Beta, whether everyone else is dead or alive, she doesn't care at all. Emma, on the other hand, was born and raised in this world, and although she was only fifteen years old, she was used to seeing people die in winter, and in her common sense, it was normal for people to die in winter.
Beta is once again in the slave market...... Because the place smelled so bad and dirty, Shirley and Emma waited outside.
When Beta walked into the market, and before he had officially started buying slaves, a fat official approached him with a few of his subordinates.
"I haven't seen you for a while, but Your Excellency the Red Priest is still the same."
Looking at the happy fat nobleman in front of him, Beta remembered his name and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a while, Your Excellency Francis." I'm here to buy slaves again, you see, is there any good introduction? ”
Francis's fat face was slightly stunned, and then he smiled: "I don't know how much ...... Your Excellency needs"
"The more the merrier." Beta looked at the entire slave market: "You have about 2,000 people here, how about giving me all permission?" ”
Francis took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, what an appetite. ”
"My city is short of labor." Beta said in an indifferent tone.
Francis closed his eyes and thought for a while: "I can only allow 1,500 people to you, and the other 500 people, I have to keep them, otherwise I will be short of manpower." ”
"Okay. No problem. Beta nodded: "I'll leave the specific matters to you, give me an exact number,"
"Two hundred and fifty gold coins." The fat man thought for a moment, and then continued: "But it will take me time to transfer so many slaves at once, at least five days...... If you want to be pleasing to me, you can come and stay at my estate for a few days, and let me be hospitable. ”
"You're so polite." Although Beta doesn't have much affection for the slave owners, after all, he has to rely on these slave owners to bring people to his own city: "But I have other things to deal with, and I'll come back in five days, so I won't bother for the time being." ”
"You're so polite." Francis shook his head, a look of regret.
Beta smiled and turned to leave.
Francis looked at the back of Beta leaving, and after a while, he said to himself left and right: "Help me find out, what has the Red Priest done during this time, why did he suddenly want so many slaves, plus more than seven hundred slaves some time ago, even if it is used to build a city, the number of this slave is too much." ”
The two servants took the order and departed.
Unbeknownst to Beta, who was investigating him, he went outside and took Shirley and Emma out into the street.
Because of the winter, there is nothing to buy in the city of Caronte, and there is no place to visit.
But even so, Emma and Beta still feel quite happy walking together. I haven't seen her for more than a year, and during this time, she has been missing the man next to her all the time, and she has even reached the point where she can't sleep on her side.
Many times, women can be with the person they like, and just by staying together, they will be satisfied.
Beta took two women to move on the street, although there were not many pedestrians on the road, but almost everyone would look at Emma and Shirley twice.
The three of them have long been accustomed to the existence of such a line of sight, but sometimes, there is a kind of sight that cannot be ignored.
Malicious.
Full of malice flashes away...... Although it was only a short moment, the three of them all felt it.
The three Beta are all master-level powerhouses, and they are quite sensitive to things like evil thoughts and killing intent. Generally speaking, if you want to hide and shield your killing intent, or evil thoughts, only a professional like an assassin can do it, and the other party's powerful evil thoughts are fleeting, which shows that the other party is not extremely strong in concealing kung fu, but it will not be bad.
However, the other party is definitely not a specialized assassin, otherwise Beta and the others would not have felt such evil thoughts at all.
"Looks like you have a lot of enemies." Emma looked at the direction of the evil thoughts that erupted just now, her eyes lit up slightly, she didn't like Beta to be hurt, but if Beta had enemies, then she would have more reason to stay by Beta's side, and the excuse was very simple, just say that she was helping her friend.
Beta felt that such evil thoughts were somewhat familiar, and as he walked, he thought for a while, and suddenly said to Shirley: "Remember some time ago, when we were led by a small group of Yorkers, we encountered a small group of attacks, and after we were wiped out, we killed a vampire?" ”
When Shirley heard this, she immediately came over as appropriate: "It's really similar." ”
Emma glared from the side and asked, "Vampires?" What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it? ”
Beta gave a general account of what had happened.
After Emma listened, she walked with a beautiful little face full of evil: "Vampire...... This evil creature still dares to appear in front of the world, not afraid of another great purge? ”
Vampires because of the ability to turn humans into dependents, into vampires, if not contained, it will not be long before the human world will become a world of vampires, so it is deeply feared by all countries in the human world, hundreds of years ago, most of the countries united and carried out a great purge of vampires, when nine out of nine vampires were eliminated, only a small part escaped, and hidden.
And since then, vampires have rarely appeared in the human world.
This incident was recorded by the major temples, and Emma, as a holy woman, also studied it.
Moreover, the major temples have issued orders that if you encounter a vampire, you can kill them on the spot, regardless of whether their camp is good or evil.
Emma is a saint, although she is not as extreme as the holy warriors of the Temple of Light for evil creatures, but she is more annoying for creatures like vampires, and in the books, it is narrated how vampires are evil and how they turn young and pure women into sluts.
"Beta, let's find a way to kill this vampire." Emma looked expectantly at the man beside her.
Beta shook her head, "We just suspect, we haven't confirmed that the evil thoughts just now were sent by vampires." ”
"Even if it's not a vampire, he has such a killing intent for you, we have to find out who he is."
Beta nodded, "That's right." ”
No matter who it is, it will feel uncomfortable to be targeted by someone with such a strong killing intent. Beta has a lot of enemies, and he can't be sure who is going to deal with him, but no matter what, it's still the vampire who is the most suspicious, so he still uses vampires as the premise to find enemies.
As long as it is the activity of intelligent creatures, there will always be some traces.
Vampires also have many characteristics, such as their love of blood, and if they don't convert blood slaves to their own kind, it won't be long before blood slaves are sucked into dried corpses.
And vampires don't like to come out during the day, they are pale and only like to act at night.
Beta decided to start with both of these things...... If you want to say that the most well-informed people in a city are, after all, the gangsters of the city, and if you want to support these gangsters, you must find their boss.
Bush Sr. is the boss of the gangsters in Caronte City, he is over 70 years old, and if you want to talk about combat effectiveness, it is absolutely bad, but the gangsters do not dare to 'overthrow' his rule, the reason is very simple, Bush Sr. is not only ruthless enough, but also knows how to buy people, and even more knows how to look at people.
His henchmen are all loyal to him, and these henchmen are also provoking a lot of manpower.
The thugs had no choice but to reluctantly accept Bush Sr.'s orders.
After beating up seven thugs, Beta finally found where Bush Sr. lived.
It was a small wooden house hidden in the woods behind the rich area, and when Beta found it, he saw an old man with silver white hair, carving a wooden carving of a woman with a knife.
He heard the voice, raised his head, glanced at Beta with cloudy and speckled pupils, and then said slowly, "This is not the place where noble lords should come. ”
"I'm here to ask you to do something for me."
The elder Bush clapped his hands, and about 20 strong-looking men flashed around, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and were slowly approaching.
Beta came alone this time, he looked around, and said with a smile: "If I were you, I wouldn't let them come closer, no matter how ordinary people pretend, they can't pretend to be professionals." ”
Bush Sr. smiled and didn't speak.
The dozen or so big men carried their weapons and shouted at the same time, and rushed towards the beta.
A ring of fire shook away from Beta, and when the big men touched the ring of fire, they all flew back upside down and fell to the ground, screaming for a moment.
Beta looked at Bush Sr. and said, "Now we can talk quietly." (To be continued.) )
