This night.
On a deserted street in the west of Riley City, in front of a building that looked like a brewery, Benjamin and Will, wrapped in dark robes, quietly stopped.
"Is this it?"
Benjamin raised his head and looked at the ghost-like quiet brewery in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"This is it." Will peeked out his eyes from the slit in his cloak, looked at it carefully twice, and said, "Torre Brewery is an ordinary workshop during the day. At night, everyone has left. This is a paradise for the innocent. .”
Paradise for the sinless…
This group of illegal organizations has so many names and little phrases.
"Then how do we get in?"
Will replied: "Go around to the left, there is a side door over there. Go to the door, lean on it and knock seven times, and someone will come to guide you."
When Benjamin heard this, he nodded and said happily: "Okay, then you can knock on the door."
Will made a sad face: "Can I not go in?"
Benjamin smiled: "No."
“…”
In this way, no matter how reluctant Will was, but under Benjamin's coercion and inducement, he still walked ahead and took Benjamin to the side entrance of the brewery.
He took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the door seven times.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
After knocking, as if there was something opening the door to kill him, he took a few steps back with a nervous expression and hid behind Benjamin.
Seeing this, Benjamin could only shake his head helplessly.
He looked forward and saw that the originally closed door had been opened a crack. After thinking about it, he used the water element induction method to detect inside, only to find a burly man behind the crack of the door, his hand stretched out by the crack of the door, with an impatient expression on his face.
"Sir, give him the badge." Will reminded him softly from behind.
After hearing this, Benjamin took out the unique badge and handed it to the burly man through the crack in the door.
The sturdy man took the badge and opened the side door after a moment.
"follow me."
The big man still had an impatient expression on his face, snorted like a cow, threw the badge at Benjamin's feet, turned around, and walked into the entire workshop.
Benjamin was not surprised, picked up the badge, grabbed Will, and followed the burly man inside.
He was curious about what mechanisms were in this brewery.
Behind the side door is a long corridor. After walking through the corridor, half a minute later, Benjamin and the others came to a place similar to an abandoned warehouse. The big man walked over, moved some empty barrels away, and knocked twice on a floor tile. The floor tiles opened slowly from the edge like an automatic door.
Then, a dark entrance appeared in front of them. Not only that, but there was also a faint noise coming from the other side of the entrance.
Benjamin nodded.
This mechanism is quite interesting, and the sound insulation effect is also good.
And it sounds like... it seems to be quite lively down there.
After the big man brought them here, he went back without saying a word. When Benjamin saw this, he pulled Will with him and got into the not-so-wide entrance.
With the feeling of falling rapidly, Benjamin's eyes blurred, and then he arrived at the event venue.
The noise was like the buzzing of a train, worse than the wet market, making the scalp of those who had just entered go numb. Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
I saw a vast underground square in front of me, with various mercenaries wearing armor coming and going. They all wore strange masks on their faces, and many of them had injuries that were not bandaged. Blood seeped out from their fresh wounds, as if they had just suffered the injury.
The smell in the air was a bit unpleasant, and the ground under their feet was also covered with traces of blood or something, and it looked very dirty.
Benjamin looked deeper and saw a large group of people gathered somewhere, seemingly forming a large circle. There were shouts of anger or excitement, and the crowd was as noisy as boiling water.
"Come on! Come on!"
"Son of a bitch, chop me until you die!"
"Fuck...all lost."
Benjamin frowned when he saw this. The water element penetrated the barriers of the crowd and fed back the scene surrounding the crowd.
I saw an existence similar to an arena surrounded by the boiling crowd. Two mercenaries who looked very strong were slashing at each other with swords in the ring.
Their faces were covered with strange paint, and they wore totem-like masks. Their faces were invisible, but their resolute murderous intent was extremely clear. They seemed to have been fighting for a long time, and the leather armor on their bodies was scarred. Their bloody footprints were all over the stage.
Suddenly, the mercenary on the left drew his sword, and the sword penetrated the chest of the mercenary on the right. After a while of trembling, the mercenary on the right fell down weakly. The crowd of people watching also roared with excitement or annoyance at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Benjamin suddenly realized.
What did he think it was...
It turns out that the daily activities of this illegal mercenary organization are black boxing.
I didn’t expect that such a thing existed in this world.
Two mercenaries fought to the death on the stage, and the enthusiastic audience placed bets on the side. Through this violent gambling, countless wealth quietly circulated in this unknown underground square, and eventually flowed into the pockets of the big shots sitting behind it.
Although I felt a little disappointed, if I think about it carefully, this kind of thing is quite normal.
After all, what's more exciting than watching someone else risk their lives? Of course, the fact that you get money quickly is completely unmatched by anything else.
"To put it bluntly, it's just a casino, why are you afraid of this?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked Will.
"Shh... keep your voice down." Will tugged on his cloak again and said tremblingly, "Those people over there are all having a hard time with me. Don't let them find me, otherwise I will be torn into pieces by them. Blocky."
I see.
Benjamin nodded and said, "Then... how much money can you make by playing a game here?"
He did not forget the purpose of this trip.
If you want to make money in a place like this, it will definitely not work if you place bets with shady schemes, bookmakers... all kinds of tricks. Therefore, Benjamin felt that he could just play and make money, so he quickly left this place.
He also saw with his own eyes that those who participated in the life and death battle used various means to hide themselves. The same goes for him. As long as he doesn't be too high-profile, his identity will definitely not be known.
"S-Sir, are you planning to go into battle in person?" Will was a little stunned.
"Otherwise? Do you want to have sex?"
Will immediately shook his head in horror.
"Well... if you want to try it, sir, then go ahead and try it." He huddled in his cloak and said, "As for the bounty, this is my first time here. I really don't know the relevant details. You can Let’s ask the people here.”
All right…
When Benjamin heard this, he no longer counted on Will. He looked around himself and found a guy who looked like a staff member.
Without hesitation, he dragged Will over and started asking about the situation. However, half a minute later, after the inquiry was completed, his face, which was hidden under the cloak, couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.
A fight only costs one hundred and fifty gold coins.
how to say? This price is actually very good, and it is definitely an astonishing figure for those mercenaries who participated. However, there is no way Benjamin can play twenty games in this place.
The rule is that you win if you kill someone, and you die if you lose once. To put it bluntly, winning twenty games in a row is already an incredible record for this place. If Benjamin dares to do this, he should do it within a month. Without anyone else investigating his identity, the organizer will have to kill him first.
Therefore, he can play five or six games here at most and earn less than a thousand gold coins.
But so what
disappointment…
Thinking like this, Benjamin even planned to leave.
However, he suddenly thought of what Will said before. Therefore, he spoke again and asked the staff: "Then... Regarding the 'Seven Days of Hell' activity, what is the bounty like?"
