As the retreat of the main forces of the Mutual Aid Society gradually subsided, the Council was temporarily unable to restore order to the whole city, and could only use the bridge as the boundary to protect the administrative district, the temple area, and the city gate area.

The docks and slums were controlled by shadow thieves, rioting civilians and Robert's guilds, the shopping mall was occupied by united merchants, and the last cemetery was even more chaotic, with countless tombs being opened by tomb robbers, who looted the burial goods and discarded the remains of the deceased at will, completely desecrating the corpses naked.

In order to prevent the news from spreading to the interior and causing greater panic and riots, the Council of Six completely blocked the news leading to the interior, and at the same time actively mobilized troops in the surrounding cities, and the cities of Cremur and Psu received orders to send 1,500 men each to Askatla.

In addition to the deployment of troops, the Council is also actively negotiating with the Temple and the Knights, hoping that the other side can send forces to quell the riots, but except for the church of the god of guards, Haim, who gave a positive answer, the church of Loshanda, the Lord of Dawn, and Taros, the god of storms, all of them sternly refused.

The former, because it symbolizes goodness and hope, will never allow themselves to participate in the bloody suppression, while the latter prefers chaos and fear to spread everywhere+, and naturally cannot help quell the riots, and some priests even secretly join the rioters in an attempt to create more chaos.

Not to mention the Knights, who are either holy warriors who symbolize goodness and order, or priests and warriors of the good camp, and cannot touch such things. Otherwise, the utterly depraved Arnomen is the best example of this.

I don't see the support of the temple forces. The Council has turned to the Masked Mage's Guild for help. However, it is a pity that the Necromantic Emperor Shane VII is locking himself in a room on the top floor and trying to regain his strength, how can he have the time to take care of other things, not to mention that the senior members of the guild have reached an agreement that they will not interfere in Am's civil strife.

Magic was originally a sensitive issue in Am, and most ordinary people were quite disgusted with it, so they didn't want to continue to increase the people's hatred of themselves, and Constance, who was bewitched by Nessis, added to the situation. In the end, it is destined to get no response.

In addition, the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild, Renault. The blood head also did not contribute to the work, and only sent assassins to assassinate a few insignificant little people, and the real mob leader did not touch any of them.

He had betrayed the Shadow Council since the day he worked with Henry, so for him, the more chaotic the situation, the better it would be, and it would be better for the Council of Six to be overthrown, so that he could completely shake off the threat above his head and become a veritable overlord.

Chaos and turmoil destroy not only order, but also people's confidence. Overnight, a large number of merchants sold their properties at low prices and then left the once bustling commercial city by boat. A rush of brains rushed to the nearest Baldur's Gate to the north.

At this time, even a fool can see that whether or not the Council can quell the rebellion, Amm is completely finished, and the capital of the Kingdom of West Hartland, Baldur's Gate, is rising, and with the powerful deterrent power of the Floating City and the long lifespan of the legendary mage, this country will gradually replace Amm as a significant force on the West Coast.

Of course, it was not only the merchants who fled, but also a large number of middle class, scholars, aristocrats, in short, everyone with a little ability was running out, and the docks could see the crowd of people waiting to take the boat north, and all the shipowners saw the business opportunities born in the chaos, and raised the price of their tickets by more than twenty times.

However, as the saying goes, the market is made up of both supply and demand, when supply exceeds demand, the price will fall, and when demand exceeds supply, the price will increase exponentially, especially when you need to flee for your life, no one cares if the price of the ticket has risen.

You must know that crime occurs every moment in the city, burglary, murder, and forcible X, but no one in their right heart would want to live in such an environment, where the rich can buy expensive first class, while the poor can only huddle their families in cramped and dimly lit warehouses, which is comparable to the slave trade.

Fortunately, the distance from Ascatra to Baldur's Gate is not far, only a few days by sea, so the forbearance is over, otherwise the poor sanitary conditions alone would have killed the entire ship.

In just one day, nearly 10,000 people left Am's capital, dozens of large ships were crammed, and even formed a fleet to sail into the deep sea.

The exodus of people has made the situation worse, but it has also brought with it a lot of business opportunities, just as some capitalists like to buy at the bottom during the financial crisis, and those big businessmen also see such an opportunity.

While they were still estimating whether the Council of Six would be able to restore order in the city in a short period of time, Govilla took the lead in buying a large amount of stolen goods from the rioters, followed by a large number of shops and land at very low prices, and swept away all the most valuable real estate with a thunderous motion.

Such a bold adventure made the upper class of the whole city look sideways, especially the big businessmen who were still watching, and they were both envious and jealous, and they all secretly cursed her to accompany her.

The merchants are not stupid, they understand who is standing behind this young girl, let alone them, even the Council of Six is busy currying favor with Henry, no one dares to provoke Gervira at this time, the rioting people will take the initiative to get out of the way when they see the family crest carved with brown bears and Pikjin, and the anger of the legendary caster is not something ordinary people can afford to provoke.

The day passed quickly, and as the sun began to set, the people living in dire straits were about to usher in a chaotic night.

Although the horrific riots were yesterday, for most of the inhabitants, more terrible things awaited.

However, this qiē had nothing to do with Gevera, who did not care at all about the lives of the poor, and was sitting in the most luxurious room of the Garden Inn. Listen quietly to your subordinates' reports. At the same time, he secretly calculated how much money he could make from these stolen goods and real estate.

"Yesterday, we acquired more than 3,000 pieces of jewelry of various colors in one day. One hundred and fifty precious works of art, you can never imagine how cheap they are! Those poor devils don't even know their true value! A 600-year-old painting by the master artist Atlanta costs only 10 gold coins! Damn it! I can't believe it's true! We're going rich! That's not a multiplication of profits! But dozens of times! Hundreds of times the profit ......"

The old man who was in charge of reporting the progress of the work was dancing, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person had fallen into a state of excitement.

As the saying goes, businessmen dare to take risks when they have 50% of their profits; For the sake of 100 percent profits, they dare to trample on the laws of the world, and if they have 300 percent profits, they dare to commit any crimes, and even risk being hanged.

The profit of receiving the stolen goods from the robbery at a low price is not only 300%, so he has long forgotten the so-called Amm law. It's a big deal to make a lot of money, and after the rich dividends are in hand, go to live in other countries, anyway, there is no so-called extradition clause in the Pheren Continent, and when he goes out of the law enforcement area, he is completely innocent and good.

Of course, there is also a premise for this, that is, the dignity of nobles and rulers cannot be offended, if a nobleman is killed, then even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, as long as he is recognized, he will be sent to the gallows. Almost all the people in power in the country are consciously defending this article. Because they don't want to end up in the same situation one day.

"Well done! Immediately hid all the goods in the cellar, and now our fleet is transporting people who want to flee back and forth. After all, this is also a big profit, and after this period of time has passed, the things will be secretly shipped out. Remember, keep your mouth shut, and you should know what to do if someone leaks. As she spoke, a cold light flashed in Govira's eyes.

It was the first time she took the risk of doing such a big business, and it was false for her to say in her heart that she was not nervous, especially this stolen goods with immeasurable real value, as long as it changed hands, she could immediately earn terrifying profits, maybe the Chamber of Commerce would not be able to make so much money after ten or twenty years of normal operation, it was even faster than robbing money.

Most of the revolt were completely unaware of the price of jewellery and art, and basically sold it for money and then bought food, wine, weapons, and armor in response to the counterinsurgency forces that were about to arrive in Askatla, and in some places even built forts and walls.

The old man nodded viciously: "Please rest assured, if someone dares to have a crooked heart, I will let him regret coming to this world." In addition, most of the weapons and armor we have stockpiled have been sold, and the few plots of land and shops we have acquired are also very promising, and as soon as the city returns to order, it will double in value. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned in and asked in a low voice: "There is a leader of the mob who privately asked if he could help them get some large ballistas, and they are willing to pay ten times the price." I felt that this matter was a bit involved, and if it was found by the Council, it might have a bad impact, so I didn't answer immediately. ”

"Sell! Why not sell! We are businessmen and sell as long as it is profitable! What's more, it's still ten times the price! But be careful when selling and erase all the marks about our Chamber of Commerce on it. Remember, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and you must not accept credit at this time, otherwise you will probably lose all your money. ”

Gervera gave instructions without even thinking about it, she was like a big businessman who ignored the interests of the country, as long as she could make money, she didn't care about any laws. You must know that ballistas are a real contraband in Am, but she still got twenty from the mines of the Northern Cloak Forest, and she used to secretly sell two to the nobles, and now they are emptied at one time.

"Understood! I'm going to get it done right away. After saying that, the old man bowed deeply, turned around and left the room.

Dozens or hundreds of times the profits have long made him forget about the law and morality, and there are only shining gold coins in his eyes......
