After listening to Tisilis's narration, Ryan and Faras looked at each other, and saw the shock in their opponents' eyes. Living in a human country on the land world, it was difficult for them to understand that the disregard for human life here had actually reached this level. It's so outrageous. If this situation happened in the human world, I'm afraid the city lord would have turned into a heinous demon. However, after looking at the people coming and going around, Ryan and Faras were wondering why the residents here They did not live in fear as they imagined, at least from the faces of these residents, Ryan and Faras could not see any clues at all.
"Don't think that ten thousand gold coins is a small amount. Even if ordinary people want to kill people randomly, they have to spend so much money. As for the real rich, generally speaking, unless you provoke others, who would What a waste of money. As for the waiter I just killed, she may not necessarily be unlucky. At least 5,000 of the 10,000 gold coins were given to her family as compensation. You can tell by the look on your face. Most of them don’t know what 5,000 gold coins means. In the underwater world, a family of ten can probably use it for almost 10 years if they save some. Such a long time is enough for the next generation to grow up and continue to support the family. It's working. As for human life, do you think if there was no such rule, even if I killed her with my strength, the city's law enforcers would fall out with me because of a mere waiter." Tisiris said slowly,
"I understand." Ryan nodded solemnly. Although he was mentally unwilling to accept such a rule that despised human life, he also knew that the real beneficiaries of this rule were the weak. Maybe it was just such a life. The sacrifice can allow her family to live a relatively comfortable life, and even allow her family to have enough money to learn magic that ordinary people have no financial strength to access. Perhaps because of this, a new strong man will be born in a few years. I can't say for sure.
In any case, since he has come to such a world, his own power is not strong enough to change the rules of the entire underwater world, so all Ryan has to do is to adapt to such rules and become familiar with the surrounding environment. Anyway, he is here The ultimate goal is to prevent his hometown from becoming such a world. When this bottom line is not touched, Ryan doesn't even care much about what method he uses, so he only has a little bit of it in his heart. Uncomfortable, that's all,
After digesting this fact, Ryan remembered another thing. He asked Tisilis: "Since it only costs 10,000 gold coins to kill a person, why didn't you kill the male octopus just now, but just the waiter? Well, it's just because the bodyguards around him are relatively strong, or there are other concerns."
"Do you think I don't want to?" Tisilis rolled her eyes at Ryan. She found that her recent actions and demeanor had been more or less influenced by humans unknowingly. At least after returning to the underwater world, Tisilis Liz rolled her eyes far more times than she had in the past years. After realizing this, Tisilis said to Ryan angrily: "Of course the death compensation is so much, but if I want to kill If the target does not belong to this city, then another process must be carried out. In order to ensure the safety of the rich who come here, when there is a conflict between the rich who do not belong to this city, they must enter the arena to understand if If I want to kill the fat octopus man, I have to choose someone to bet with his subordinates, and then put up my own gambling money. As for whether I can kill my opponent, it depends not only on the outcome of the life-and-death struggle, but also on the financial resources of both parties. If I can’t use enough wealth to force my opponent to gamble with me, I can’t do anything to him.”
"If I succeed in forcing him to bet his life with me, and then his subordinate loses in the arena, then I can deal with him at will, and Ebston will not interfere in any way. Of course, a human life We still have to pay an additional 10,000 gold coins, but if the fat octopus man asks to postpone the game, wouldn't we have to wait here for at least three months? Instead of doing this, we might as well remember his appearance and wait until we meet him in the future. Let's settle the account." Tisilis explained clearly to Ryan, and finally she added: "So if the organization that stops us regardless of human life along the way wants to deal with us in this city, the best way is Provoke a private fight between the two sides, and then forcefully drag us into a fight in the arena."
"This is your real concern, so you suspect that the octopus man may be related to that organization." Farasi interjected,
"I have to suspect this, because the time of their appearance was too coincidental, and they actually followed us into the city. In addition to this, they actually provoked me just after entering the city, and they also used the most intolerable words for women. That kind of method, if we have nothing else to do, I will definitely challenge him to a fight on the spot. Even if I can't kill him, I will make him lose a lot of wealth, otherwise it will be difficult for me to say this." Ti Silis said harshly,
"Okay, I promise you, if there is a chance, I will help you say this." Ryan smiled faintly and made this promise casually, and waves of emotions surged in Tisilis's heart. She is well aware of Ryan's strength, and also knows that this legendary strong man has a peaceful personality and it is almost difficult to make any promises to others. Now that he is willing to stand up for herself, even a small gesture is enough to move Tisilis. Yes,
"Let's find a place to eat first." Tisilis was grateful in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. After saying this, she waved towards the street to hail a car pulled by two giant crabs. Ryan took a look at the vehicle called by Tisilis and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Crabs all walk sideways, so the two crabs pulling the cart stood face to face. Their claws are tied together so that guests don’t have to worry about being accidentally injured by the giant crab.
After everyone sat in the car, Tisilis ordered: "Go to the Troglodyte Bar, we want to enjoy the food."
The octopus man in charge of driving nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the reins that had been put on the giant crabs, and controlled them to move towards the destination ordered by Tisilis. Ryan sat in the car and watched the pair of giant crabs move sideways. The eight-legged man walked quickly without feeling any bumps, and the vehicle was moving very fast. Within a few minutes, he drove out of this street and turned into another commercial district with shops on both sides.
The hundred-meter-wide street is lined with various shops. According to the explanation of the octopus man driving the car, this is the most prosperous commercial district of Eberston. Caravans coming and going can purchase and ship goods here. The types of goods There are also many items, including precious metal ores, rare monster furs and magic cores, powerful magic items, exquisite magic scrolls, gorgeous armors and weapons, delicacies from various regions of the underwater world, and even There are also strong slaves and beautiful and sexy female slaves. In short, as long as you can afford the money, almost everything you can buy in the underwater world can be found here.
"Distinguished guests, this is the Troglodyte Bar." After traveling for more than twenty minutes, the giant crab pulling the cart finally stopped in front of a building with rough decoration. The octopus man driving the car greeted Ti respectfully. Silis said: "Here you and your friends can enjoy delicious food as long as you tell them the name and place of origin. I hope you and your friends will have a pleasant memory."
Tisilis nodded. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar signboard of "War Lizard Bar" and felt a little strange in her heart. In fact, she had never been to this city before, so she was not familiar with this fallen city. Everything is based on information on paper. This work has been carried out since she started setting up the teleportation magic circle in Saluofin City. Everything is under the supervision of the strictest confidentiality procedures: how Activate the teleportation magic circle, how to leave the Sarhelfin, which underwater caves you can rest in on the way, what are the details of several important cities along the way such as Eberston, etc., even if Tisilis closes these contents The eyes can also be accurately depicted,
Tisiris had seen the signboard with a trident and two fangs intertwined at the entrance of the Troglodyte Bar countless times. She could even point out the origin of this signboard. As for the small details of the workmanship on the sign, today was the first time she saw this thing that she had long known by heart. This made her feel like she had seen the real face, but she was also a little frustrated because she had never appeared before. From the moment the Sarlofin's underground teleportation magic circle was established, this journey that would never be started unless absolutely necessary was finally started.
Tisiris sighed secretly in her heart, grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed them to the octopus man driving the car. Unexpectedly, the other party politely declined the considerable tip, and then explained to Tisilis respectfully: "You are here Our city has a private account, so all your consumption here will be deducted from that account and you no longer need to pay in cash. This also saves you the trouble of having to bring a pile of gold coins with you every time you go out. It is an honor for you to serve me, and I will be duly rewarded for it, but driving is not an occupation that allows you to receive tips, so I can only thank you for your kindness."
After hearing what the octopus man said, Faras had a question in her mind, and she asked: "I heard that it only costs 10,000 gold coins to kill a person here. Doesn't that mean that your lives are at risk anytime, anywhere?" Is it possible to lose it? If so, why do you still refuse to increase your income, and judging from your appearance, you don’t seem to care about this very much.”
