Blood of Mercury

The city of wealth, the city of sin.

No one remembers the name of the city, they only know that this is a place beyond the reach of the law.

That's not to say they don't follow any laws - on the contrary, people who live here need to memorize all kinds of complicated rules and integrate them into every detail of their lives.

Because in this city, the laws of Caral and Fararu are void. Correspondingly, each area and even each street in the city has its own independent prohibition.

The more impossible the place is, the more authoritative the few remaining prohibitions are.

If anyone doesn't understand why the city of wealth can maintain an ingenious equilibrium in such a chaotic state that it has survived for decades or even a hundred years without being destroyed, he better listen to the city of wealth first. The three first and last laws at the time of creation:

If not found, it is not a crime;

If you are not prosecuted, you cannot be traced;

If you cannot prove yourself innocent, you are automatically considered guilty.

Basically, anyone in the City of Wealth can find a reason for his guilt and treat him as innocent. There is even a saying that "the devil will be arrested when he comes here".

Of course, this kind of law, which can be called a disease of the brain, also has a basis for its birth.

At that time, Caral had just become independent from Banza, and his background was as thin as paper. It is a principality in name, but it has no arable land, no citizens, no laws, and an empty treasury. There is only one armed force that can be called an army, and even the officials have several positions.

Even with those druids protecting him, Caral's independence is still not viewed favorably by others, and is not even recognized by other countries. Because Caral is a vassal of Banza, if Banza suddenly refuses to recognize Caral's independent status one day, he can directly send troops to attack Caral - it is almost certain that Banza will turn his face sooner or later. And Banza really wants to turn his face, even if Kalar is protected by a Druid, he is powerless to resist.

In fact, as early as during the war of the gods, the defeated Druid was expelled by the allied army of the gods, and was forced to make an oath that he would fail if he confronted the army of the gods head-on.

Generally speaking, the intelligence ministries of various countries believe that the reason why Druids can participate in the war is mainly because Banza did not send the Templars to the front line at all. After all, no one would have thought that a Druid who had been expelled for more than a hundred years would suddenly appear.

Because the profession of Templars is very hypocritical, they must fight near the temple of their gods to have the most powerful combat power, and they can communicate with their gods anytime, anywhere, unlike priests, they only have slightly poor perception attributes. At a certain time every day, you can contact the gods and restore the divine power. Moreover, the perception moments of different gods are different, which is extremely inconvenient when marching.

So if it's not until the last minute, they are all responsible for defensive tasks, especially the defense of important areas such as the national capital.

It is precisely because the druids cannot face the established temple army, so Caral must expel all the priests, so that the druids can protect the country normally; it is precisely because the druids cannot face the temple army, so in the It was only after the army of ordinary people was destroyed that Caral was so easily destroyed by the Lord of Violence.

Everyone, even Kalal's own citizens, believed that the establishment of Kalal's state was just Bansa's tactic to delay his troops. Once Banza's intelligence organization learned that Caral's only garrison was a group of Druids, as long as Banza sent the Templars out, the newly established Caral would be torn to shreds like paper.

To put it in a bad way, those whose passionate brains were cooled down by the fire of war resolutely chose to stay in Caral, and the rest except for the opportunists were true love.

But when it comes to opportunists, we have to say such a group of people.

At a time when everyone was not optimistic about Caral's independence, a strange brigade saw a wonderful opportunity from the crumbling Caral.

This brigade consists of a liar, a murderer, a trafficker, a thief, a cult and a lunatic. They donated a large sum of money to Caral, buying permanent control of Caral's most marginal and barren lands for nearly three times the normal price.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Su Ze declared war on Banza. In this war, Banza consumed a lot of power, so that for a long period of time he did not have time to take care of Caral, who had been silent and looked good. But when Banza regained his strength, Caral survived the most difficult period and got on the right track - so Banza still couldn't attack Caral.

And that land would later become the famous—or notorious—city of wealth. Attracted by those three laws, conspirators from countless other countries, wanted criminals, cultists enough to be sentenced to death ten times, and aristocrats who have temporarily lost political battles have joined here. On the contrary, the first six people died in the laws they made themselves.

Since then, this place has become a complete no-man's land.

Because of the entanglement of various forces - even involving members of the ruler's family of many countries, Caral was afraid to take back the land easily.

This is a liar's paradise, a hunting ground for murderers, and a holy place for cultists to preach. Thieves and gun dealers are as cute and harmless as sheep here.

As long as you have the money, a time spent here will be the most luxurious and at the same time the most dangerous experience of your life.

Generally speaking, some big powers give their heirs a sum of money, and then send them to the City of Wealth to stay for a period of time when they become adults.

During these days, they did not have any protection from the family, nor would they enjoy any support from the family. Those who couldn't resist the temptation, spent their money early, or were cheated or robbed -- in short, those who couldn't live to a given day, basically, even if they were able to go out alive, they would have no chance of succession. Those who can't stand the temptation, or who don't have enough intelligence and force to protect themselves, even if they get the right of inheritance by luck, they will only ruin their family property.

And those who not only did not spend all the money they brought, but can actually make money from the city of wealth are undoubtedly powerful. This means that they already have the ability to survive in the city of wealth, and even if there is a difference in the ability of their parents, there will not be a big difference——

"I really don't know why Uncle Marcus suddenly asked us to come here."

A loud complaint came from the front.

"Look at it, Sister Nya, Uncle Marcus won't hurt us," followed by a vigorous voice, "At least there are a lot of fun here, isn't it?"

"Don't compare me to you brainless stinky men," the first voice snarled, "I asked Uncle Marcus, and he said it's very dangerous here, so we need to be careful. It's better to go in. The city will find him immediately."

"No matter how dangerous it is, can you cross the battlefield dangerously?" The energetic voice clearly disagreed, "The Titans' heavy cavalry squad did not kill me, so I don't believe what these scumbags can do to me."

Attracted by these two voices, the eyes of all the people around turned to him.

It was undisguised malicious intent. If the maliciousness in their eyes had temperature, the two of them would not even have one ashes left at the moment.

"...Anyway, it's better to be careful."

Probably felt some bad atmosphere, he hesitated for a while, and the mean voice weakened.

"Coward," the energetic voice snorted disdainfully, "I'm going out tonight to have a good time. Sister, you can say whether you will come or not."

"Who's a coward? I'm just worried that you don't have enough money to pay for my share, and then someone detains you and chops your fingers off!"

The sharp female voice responded immediately, not to be outdone.

"Oh, two chicks."

Kluveen and Roland sat in the carriage face to face. Hearing the undisguised loud noise coming from behind him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

The City of Wealth is a place where personal force is of little use, unless you can reach the golden tier. What's more, just listening to the voice of Kluveen can tell that the two people behind him are definitely no more than twenty years old.

It is not bad for a person of this age to have the strength of the black iron rank. A certain elder of their family seems to have no good intentions and did not tell them the particularity of this place...

It was probably a struggle for power.

Kluveen was almost certain that the two little guys behind him would definitely not survive tonight.

The group of people who stared at the two children with vulture-like eyes were doing exactly the same thing as vultures.

But when he turned his attention back, he suddenly found that his "girlfriend" was taking out a letter of faith and looking at the light with his head.

"Herland, what are you doing?"

he asked inexplicably.

The black-haired girl turned her head and showed an incomparably innocent smile, but the voice that came out of her mouth was hoarse and very magnetic: "Some preliminary preparations, that's all."

"Is that the letter of introduction that Farina prepared for you?"

Kluveen frowned: "I said something bad, that woman's stuff..."

"It's best not to touch, right." Roland interrupted him unceremoniously, "Of course I know about it. So I took out this letter to do another thing."

"Another thing?"

"That's right. I just wanted to see if the letter mentioned whether it was one person or two people who sent the letter." Roland focused the letter at the light and looked at it carefully, "Falina must have set it up after opening the envelope. There is no doubt about the magic circle that will automatically burn after reading it. More importantly, in order to ensure that the spontaneous combustion of this letter will not be stopped by others, and then trace her through the wreckage of the letter, Farina Only use oil-impregnated paper, which will burn out instantly, as a medium."

"However, she obviously ignored that the oil-impregnated paper would transmit light - no, it's not so much that she ignored it, it was better that she was confident that through the encryption of the code words she wrote, even if I could think of it and then use a bundle of Just after reading the whole letter, you won't find the trap she hid with secret words. You will only see her sincerity and kindness."

"In this case, as long as I can't get into the city and hand this letter to the guards, or go to her property to deliver this letter as she said~www.NovelMTL.com~ I will die without knowing who I am. How to die - oh yes, it is more likely that life is better than death."

Having said that, Roland sneered and put down the letter.

"But she doesn't know that not only do I know the people in the city of wealth who can bring me into the city, but I also know the secret language she designed," Roland put on a black trench coat, put the letter in his arms, and then Wei Wei straightens up and prepares to get off the carriage, "Let me tell her that the camouflage assassination is fine, and the plan is thousands of miles away—she's really not that material."

"Wait! Hurland! Where are you going?!"

Kluveen subconsciously clenched the door handle: "It's easy to cause trouble when you appear outside like this!"

Roland turned around and showed a malicious smile. But that smile became sweet and flowery in an instant, and there was not even a trace of haze: "I'm just going to send someone's letter of introduction to those who need it more."

... Besides, I'm really here to cause trouble.

Roland silently added a sentence in his heart.
