Noble Emblem

The city of Caronte still looks cold in the cold wind. Most people are hiding at home. The poor cling to each other to keep warm, while the rich gather around the warm fireplace, chatting and giving advice. country. The servant was behind them, bringing cold fruit wine, because the fire in the fireplace was so hot that the room they were in even felt like summer.

Beta walked on the street and saw from time to time a huddled and thin body covered in frost on both sides of the road. He sighed slightly in his heart, and then pretended to turn a blind eye.

This world is too dangerous, especially for ordinary people. Not to mention that the monsters in the suburbs can kill them. Hunger and cold alone will follow them like a shadow. The quality of the people living in a region depends largely on whether the lord is kind or not.

Now it is obvious that the lord of Caronte City is not a kind person.

When Beta was a lord in the game, because of the extremely low agricultural taxes and good citizen welfare, almost no one died from hunger and cold in his territory every winter. If so, it was an accident. , not a tramp, or a beggar.

Shirley and Emma followed him. These two women were not surprised by the beggars or the corpses of homeless people on both sides of the street.

Shirley is a divine creature, born to be aloof, and is not interested in mundane things at all. Except for Beta, she doesn't care whether others are dead or alive. Emma is a native of this world. Although she is only fifteen years old, she has long been accustomed to seeing people die in winter. In her common sense, it is normal for people to die in winter.

Beta came to the slave market again because the smell of the place was too unpleasant and dirty, so Shirley and Emma waited outside.

When Beta walked into the market and before he officially started buying slaves, a fat official and several subordinates came towards him.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Your Excellency, Red Priest, is still as charming as ever."

Looking at the cheerful fat noble in front of her, Beta remembered his name and smiled: "It's been a while since I last saw you, Your Excellency Frances. I'm here to buy slaves again. Take a look and see what's good. An introduction?”

Francis' fat face was slightly startled, and then he smiled and said, "I don't know how much you need."

"The more, the merrier." Beta looked at the entire slave market: "You have about two thousand people here, how about you give them all to me?"

Francis took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, you have a good appetite."

"My city is short of labor." Beta said calmly.

Francis closed his eyes and thought for a while: "I can only allow 1,500 people to give you, and I have to keep the other 500 people, otherwise I will also 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 while, and then continued: "But I need time to mobilize so many slaves at once. At least five days. If you show favor, you can come to my manor to stay for a few days. , let me do my best to serve the guests.”

"You are too polite." Although Beta does not have much favorable impressions of slave owners, after all, he has to rely on these slave owners to attract residents to his city: "But I have other things to deal with. I will come back in five days, I won’t bother you for now.”

"You are so polite." Francis shook his head with regret on his face.

Beta smiled, turned and left.

Francis looked at Beta's leaving figure. After a while, he said to himself: "Help me check what the Red Priest has done during this time, why he suddenly wants so many slaves, and what's more, There were more than 700 slaves some time ago, even if they are used to build the city, this number of slaves is too many."

The two servants took the order and left.

Beta didn't know that someone was investigating him. He went outside and took Shirley and Emma to the street.

Because it is winter, there is nothing to buy in Caronte City, and there is no place to go shopping.

But even so, Emma and Beta still felt quite happy walking together. She hadn't seen him for more than a year. During this period, she missed the man next to her all the time, to the point where she could hardly sleep.

Many times, a woman will be satisfied if she can stay with the person she likes, just by being together.

Beta led the two women on the street. Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, almost everyone looked at Emma and Shirley.

The three of them have long been accustomed to this kind of sight, but sometimes, there is a kind of sight that cannot be ignored.

Malice.

The full malice flashed away even though it was only a short moment, but all three people felt it.

The three Betas are all master-level experts and are quite sensitive to evil thoughts and murderous intentions. Generally speaking, if you want to hide and shield your own murderous intention or evil thoughts, only professionals like assassins can do it. The fact that the opponent's evil thoughts are so powerful is fleeting, which shows that the opponent is not very strong in concealment skills. , but it won’t be much worse.

However, the other party must not be a professional assassin, otherwise Beta and others would not feel such evil thoughts at all.

"It seems that you have a lot of enemies." Emma looked at the direction where the evil thoughts broke out just now, her eyes brightened slightly. She didn't like Beta to be harmed, but if Beta had enemies, then she would have more reason to treat him. When it comes to Beta, the excuse is very simple, as long as it is to help one's friends.

Beta felt that such evil thoughts were familiar. As he walked, he thought for a while and suddenly said to Shirley: "I still remember that some time ago, we took the York tribe and encountered a small group of attacks. They were wiped out to the rear. , we killed another vampire?"

When Shirley heard this, she immediately came over and said, "It's indeed very similar."

Emma stared at the side and asked: "What is the vampire thing? Can you tell me about it?"

Beta then told the general story of what happened.

After listening to this, Emma walked with her pretty little face full of evil spirits: "How dare such evil creatures like vampires appear in front of the world, not afraid of another big purge?"

Vampires have the ability to turn humans into familiars and vampires. If left unchecked, the human world will soon turn into a world of vampires. Therefore, they are deeply feared by all countries in the human world. Hundreds of years ago, most of the The country united and carried out a large-scale purge of vampires. At that time, 99% of the vampires were eliminated, and only a small number escaped and hid.

And since then, vampires have rarely appeared in the human world.

This incident has been recorded in various major temples, and Emma, ​​as a saint, has also studied it.

Moreover, all major temples have issued instructions that if you encounter a vampire, you can kill it on the spot, regardless of whether its alignment is good or evil.

Emma is a saint. Although she is not as extreme about evil creatures as the Paladins of the Temple of Light, she hates vampires. Moreover, the book describes how evil vampires are and how they turn young and pure women into Slut.

"Beta, let's find a way to kill this vampire." Emma looked at the man beside her expectantly.

Beta shook his head: "We just suspect, but we haven't confirmed that the evil thoughts just now were caused by vampires."

"Even if it's not a vampire, he has such a murderous intention towards you, we have to find out who he is no matter what."

Beta nodded: "That's true."

No matter who it was, they would feel uncomfortable being targeted by someone with such strong murderous intent. Beta has many enemies, and he has no way to determine who is going to deal with him, but no matter what, vampires are still the most suspected, so he still uses vampires as the premise to find enemies.

As long as there are intelligent biological activities, there will always be some traces left behind.

Vampires also have many characteristics. For example, they love to suck blood. If the blood slaves are not transformed into the same race, the blood slaves will be sucked into mummies in a short time.

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 from these two aspects and say that the most knowledgeable people in a city are, after all, the gangsters in the city, and if you want to control these gangsters, you must find their boss.

Bush Sr. is the boss of the gangsters in Caronte City. He is over 70 years old. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is absolutely terrible, but the gangsters dare not overthrow his rule. The reason is very simple. Bush Sr. is not only ruthless enough , is also good enough at buying people, and even better at understanding people.

His confidants are all loyal to him, and these confidants also mobilize a large number of people.

The gangsters had no choice but to accept Bush's orders.

After beating up seven gangsters, Beta finally found the place where Bush Sr. lived.

This was a small wooden house hidden in the woods behind the wealthy area. When Beta found it, he saw an old man with silver-white hair carving a wooden sculpture of a woman with a knife.

When he heard the voice, he raised his head, glanced at Beta with his cloudy and spotted eyes, and then said slowly: "This is not a place where noble men should come."

"I came to ask you to help me with something."

Bush clapped his hands, and about twenty strong-looking men appeared around him. They were slowly approaching with sharp weapons in their hands.

Beta came alone this time. He looked around and said with a smile: "If I were you, I would never let them get closer. Ordinary people can't pretend to be professionals no matter how much they pretend."

Bush smiled and said nothing.

These dozen big men raised their weapons, shouted at the same time, and rushed towards Beta.

A ring of fire shook away from Beta's body. When the big men touched the ring of fire, they all flew back and fell to the ground. For a while, they screamed again and again.

Beta looked at Bush Sr. and said, "Now we can chat quietly." To be continued. ..Tang Family Third Young Master’s Douluo Dalu 2 Peerless Tang Sect mobile game has been released.
