Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Chapter 971: The Gangs of Waterdeep City Targeted by Dragon

In fact, Waterdeep City has been managed very strictly since it was tortured by the drow once.

However, the city guards have been corrupted for too long, making the seemingly tight defense almost useless... The only ones who can block it out are low-level adventurers who are reluctant to spend money to find a way out.

Neverwinter was bombed, Luskan was demanding, and Aglaia couldn't get in... These people could only try to come to Waterdeep City to find job opportunities.

Unfortunately, the price they need to pay to enter Waterdeep City is too high for them to bear.

Yes, for these Waterdeep City Guards who were used to having their palms turned upward, the result of the lords repeatedly asking them to strictly defend themselves was that the entry fee of 50 copper coins turned into 50 silver coins.

If it is a half-elf, it will cost 1 gold coin... They think that half-elves are spies of the drow.

Of course, this is a clear statement, even if everyone knows they are farting... but all they need is an excuse to collect money, right?

It is much easier for half-elves to make money than humans.

However, half-elves are not stupid.

If there is no problem with the camp, then naturally go to Aglaia and Luskan to make a living... There are indeed many merchant ships in Waterdeep City, but there are also many in Aglaia and Luskan!

Now that there are no magic ships flying in from the plane gate, Waterdeep City's largest piece of trade income has been cut off for a long time.

As for the assassins and thieves who were in the shadows, they didn't even plan to pay the 50 coppers.

With such a big city of Waterdeep and such a long port line, who can't find a space to get in?

There are no mythical locks in Waterdeep.

In the end, only the lowest level adventurers were stopped outside the city gate.

So when Edna brought her people and the tail behind her to the outskirts of Waterdeep City, what she saw was a dirty big market.

No matter how arrogant the guards of Waterdeep City are, they cannot ask their citizens not to leave the gate... If the city entry fee is paid to the people of the city, there is no possibility of keeping it secret.

Although in fact their bosses basically know.

But there are these high-level people who collect the money, and they still get the lion's share, but they won't take the blame.

Although the masked lords of Waterdeep City turn a blind eye to many things, as long as the citizens really use their own unique methods to report to these lords who hide their identities and secretly control Waterdeep City, they will have to come forward to solve the problem.

Then the adventurers outside found that it was okay not to enter the city. At most, food and accommodation would be troublesome, and they had to go to the wilderness to collect and hunt by themselves... But as the number of people increased, let alone those selling vegetables and firewood, There are even chefs and singers.

The singers at the bottom were very happy to discover a new market, so they quickly set up a big tent.

As their tents were set up, the people who depended on them for a living, making 1 or 2 copper coins, also appeared.

The people who came later gathered around the colorful tents and set up wooden sheds in a circle, and there were even a few mud houses... It is estimated that someone has already started collecting protection fees.

Only such people need a fixed place to live.

Apart from the unpleasant smell, this market is already quite large.

"Are you looking for shit in Waterdeep City?" the 'elderly Sanda King' who sat on Alvia with Edna blurted out.

As a boss who participated in the shit pit war, she really remembered this smell deeply and could never forget it... The smell here was almost the same as what she smelled when her sensory nerves were lowered back then.

Moreover, they were still standing on the road at a certain distance... You can imagine the smell in the market.

"They are still eating inside!" An undead couldn't help shouting... The management of Black Rose is indeed very sensitive to this matter.

It seems that even if there is a way to isolate the smell, they know where they have been.

Edna smiled slightly... Sanda King usually likes to carry snacks and drinks when going shopping, but yesterday he was empty-handed and had no interest in entering the snack bar.

"Toril people, can't you dig a hole far away? It has to be anywhere..." The 'Old Sanda King' couldn't help but said 'Evil~' in the middle of the sentence, "Forget it, let's leave quickly. !”

"Aren't the lords of Waterdeep City quite smart?" Leonard, who was following Bai Long, suddenly said, "No one noticed such an obvious shadow?"

Because he was squeezed out by his colleagues in Quesen Tower, Nasr had to walk alone next to the white dragon's tail and said with a smile: "They took care of it~ Without the support of Waterdeep City, who would dare to collect protection fees so blatantly? That's A house! Be it a tent or a wooden shed, something that can be given up at any time never counts.

But mud houses, for any city in Toril, are taxed. "

Edna glanced at the market coldly: "Let's go into the city! There is a lot of fun in Waterdeep City! If there is nothing important, let's stay in two days and then leave."

The 'Old Sanda King' raised his hand and patted Edna on the back: "If you really want to leave, don't say such unlucky words."

"Because I don't care~" Edna said with a smile, "It's good that something happened, it just opened our eyes.

Isn’t there the powerful Mystra elector Kelben? I really want to see what he is capable of!

It would be a shame if nothing happened~"

The 'senior Sanda King' watched his little friend shouting flags and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are really afraid that nothing will happen~

That’s right, it’s not Aglaia anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it explodes. "

Leonard said in a low voice: "It's better not to explode... That's a bit dangerous for us too! Huh? Why do you look at me like that?"

Edna's lips twitched slightly: "Because we never assume anything about ourselves, do you understand?"

The half-elf mage looked blankly at the group of people who looked at him dissatisfiedly... Even Nasr from the Shar family looked at him with a strange look... Why?

Qiaosani, who was squatting on top of Alvia's head, covered her eyes with her beautiful big butterfly wings. She really didn't want to see the innocent and stupid look of her friend... On the road related to destiny, she actually dared to treat her own... What if?

The last person like this was probably Kelanwo, right?

Their famous journey of collecting the Slates of Destiny led him to the road of destruction amid his constant what-ifs... To be honest, it was only then that Cyric could fall out with the male and female. The dragon is here to talk. When I got up, I admired the guy's endurance.

Not only do you have to sacrifice your own interests, but you also have to listen to the famous crow's mouth and hope for the future.

Sometimes it makes people wonder whether the stone of destiny is a roadblock set according to his ideas.

Therefore, none of the dragons find it strange that Kelemvor would be brought back to be the God of Death... This kind of guy who can cause heavy casualties with just a casual word is really very suitable!

Edna's team walked toward the gate of Waterdeep City in an eerie silence... without encountering any obstruction, and no one came forward to collect any entry fee.

Not to mention that the lords of Waterdeep City had given orders a few days ago not to make irresponsible remarks about such a large adventure team with mages. Even the tall White Dragon Queen was enough to make these guys stay away.

No matter how stupid Toril is, he will not reach out to the dragon to ask for entry fees.

Even if it can become the background of a famous dragon-slaying war, anyone who dares to accept money should die.

Alvia walked into the gate of Waterdeep City with her head held high... Of course she had wanted to come before, but with the nickname of 'Mage Killer', she would definitely have trouble entering a city controlled by a magic tower.

The White Dragon Queen possesses the cunning and rationality that is very rare for the white dragon race, and basically does not do anything to embarrass herself.

She never thought that one day she would be able to walk into this commercial capital with such swagger, Alvia was really proud of her.

However, when he walked onto the famous Sword Street, Bailong only felt disappointed: "Why is this... not as good as Aglaia?"

"Didn't it mean that it was invaded by the drow some time ago? How could it be rebuilt so quickly? There is no archmage in Waterdeep who can build a house with just a few words." Edna said nonchalantly, "However, if Looking at the number of various shops, Waterdeep definitely has more variety than Aglaia.

However, if you look at the exquisiteness of the architecture, how can this place compare to Aglaia?

Lord Hill has always been quite generous, and even the materials for residential buildings are normally only those that big businessmen would be willing to use.

Not to mention his own shopping street. If you go and take a look, you will know that the manors of the great nobles are not that good. "

Alvia flapped her wings, not caring about the frantic avoidance and angry and dissatisfied eyes of the people on both sides who saw her, and said a little depressed: "Then only the famous Waterdeep City gangsters are left. I hope they can let me Open your eyes."

Edna was stunned for a moment before saying: "You don't think that the kind of guy who specializes in blackmailing the lower class people and lording it over the slums is rich, do you?

It's estimated that if you get it all done, it won't be as much money as if you took on a hiring mission from the undead. "

Alvia would not give up like that, she had heard many legends and stories: "Maybe there is some treasure that these guys without eyes threw in the warehouse as rubbish!

Let's go try it out, shall we? "

Then she twisted her long neck behind her, her big eyes full of desire: "Sanda King, what do you think?"

"Although I don't think there is anything else." The 'Old Sanda King' said calmly, "It wasn't many years ago that the gangs in Waterdeep City were last wiped out by the undead!

However, it’s okay if you want to have fun, but according to our tradition, you must have a proper reason to take action against the forces in other cities. "

Alvia hesitated for a while, then turned around and looked at the leisurely white-clothed mage following behind: "Then... Mr. Xueyunfeng? Can you help me?

I really want to experience the adventure story for real! "

Of course, 'Xueyunfeng' could hear what the white dragon wanted to call him, but after looking at the Loli priest sitting on the dragon's back, he could only twitch the corner of his mouth and nod: "I will pay attention. I’ll call you when I get the chance.”
