Chapter 64 Chaos

Fresh milk!

Sweet and soft bread!

All kinds of sweet and juicy fruits!

……

As the de facto rulers of Black City, the city guards naturally wouldn't stoop to such a low standard.

The warehouse was piled high with food and drinks, and even the air was filled with a sweet and delicious aroma.

For the people of Heicheng, who have been suffering from hunger and not having enough to eat for years, this place is simply paradise!

Xiao Nan and Lyon had never seen such a scene before, and their eyes immediately lit up. If the timing hadn't been wrong, they probably would have already pounced on the pile of food and rolled around in it.

"Don't take any food."

Karl's voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, sobering them from their frenzy:

"Take what's truly valuable!"

"oh!"

The two came to their senses.

There are only two of them; even if each of them had eight hands, they couldn't possibly take even a tenth of what's here.

Especially food.

Although tempting, it is relatively the cheapest option.

The real treasures are the meat of exotic beasts, the seeds of magic signs, the potions of replenishment, and even the books in your collection.

Karl didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he quickly walked around the warehouse and finally found his target in an inconspicuous corner.

These are two sacks of grain, and the sacks are full of soul powder.

Soul Powder is the main ingredient in the sorcery potion Light of Wisdom, but here it only has the effect of boosting spirits.

The city guards never discovered its use, so they didn't care about the soul powder and just casually put it in a burlap sack.

Karl picked up the sack, his face beaming with elation.

The two bags of soul powder weighed over a hundred pounds, enough to make at least a thousand portions of the Light of Wisdom.

It's out!

There are so many Soul Powders, one person could never use them all in a lifetime!

Ok?

Looking back, I saw Xiao Nan and Leon holding cloth bags and frantically stuffing things into them.

Karl stroked his chin.

There are so many good things here that it would be a bit disappointing to only take Soul Powder, but if you take Soul Powder, you won't be able to take much else.

After thinking for a moment, he went to the warehouse where valuable items were stored, took out the ones that looked pleasing to the eye one by one, and put them in a separate package.

The Dharma Seal must be taken.

Although these are all low-quality magic seals, magic seals are a real form of hard currency in this world, and they can also be used to replicate zero-ring magic tricks.

There's also meat from exotic animals.

There are some high-quality exotic beast meat in the warehouse, I must take them with me.

Life-saving medicine!

He had been dreaming of this for a long time, and there were three copies of it hidden in a box. He decided to keep them for now.

also……

The city guards were also collecting all sorts of valuables, such as gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and ornaments. In particular, one of the small boxes contained several rare treasures that absolutely could not be left behind.

"alright."

Seeing that everything was almost packed, Karl waved to the two of them:

"You guys go first, I'll clean up this place. Even if we destroy things, we can't leave them to the city guards."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and unleashed a fire seal, the flames shooting towards the place where the food was placed, instantly igniting a raging fire.

"Burned?"

Xiao Nan looked pained, instinctively picked up the milk can next to her and took a swig, then grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it haphazardly into her mouth.

"Let's go."

Lyon, though small in stature, was carrying a bundle taller than himself, struggling to run outside.

"Let's talk outside."

After the two left, Karl picked up the things beside him and took a step directly to the fragment of the divine realm.

After putting down the items, return again.

"Um!"

The rapid journey to and from the Divine Realm Fragment left him momentarily dazed, his body swaying before he regained his senses. He then picked up the package at his feet and headed outside.

Simultaneously.

He waved his hand and threw out several fireballs, turning the warehouse into a sea of ​​fire.

"Uncle."

Xiao Nan, carrying a bundle, looked on in surprise:

"Is that all you've taken?"

"That's quite a lot."

Karl, carrying a package, strode forward:

"Walk."

With Jacqueline and the others leading the way, the three of them made no obstacles and arrived directly on the ground.

The ground was in complete chaos.

The miners who burst out of the ground clashed with the city guards, while many others chose to watch the spectacle.

"Gentlemen!"

Jacqueline stood on the high platform and roared:

"Don't trust the city guards. They say they're there to exchange supplies for you, but actually they'll lock you up underground in dug tunnels!"

"I am Jacqueline, the Whisperer of the Wind. Just because I discovered a forgotten city beneath the earth, they killed my commander, my comrades, my..."

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light from a blade fell.

"Get down here!"

A heavily armored city guard soldier charged toward Jacqueline, brandishing his longsword in rapid succession.

Although this person is not a knight, he is still quite remarkable, possessing the strength of a top-tier knight's squire.

These people are the elite of the city guard.

"And me!"

Dunplow leaped to the higher place in Jacqueline's place:

"Dunpro of the Shadow Alliance, there must be people here who recognize me. I hunted aliens originally to exchange for a sign."

"result……"

"They took me underground and made me dig a tunnel to find my way!"

"Think about it, haven't any people suddenly disappeared recently? It was all done by the city guards!"

Both Dunplow and Jacqueline were well-known figures in Black City, and their words caused a stir among the crowd.

"Bang!"

The shelves in the distance trembled, and a figure leaped over:

"How dare you disturb people's peace! You're courting death!"

While in mid-air, the newcomer stretched out his arm, and a long spear flashed out, stabbing towards Dunplow from a distance.

骑士!

Water, the captain of the fifth squad of the city guard!

"Bang!"

Dunpro parried with his sword, but he was no match for the immense force of the attack and was sent flying by the opponent's spear.

He coughed up blood after landing, and his weapon fell to the side.

"Kill them!"

Walter was a burly man with a face full of menacing features. He already had a fierce appearance, but now his eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"Kill them all!"

"Let's see who dares to spout nonsense now!"

"What arrogance!" Before he could finish speaking, a figure clad in black armor rushed forward.

"I'd like to see what you've got up your sleeve."

Gale Slash!

Eight sword lights converged into a sword curtain, pressing down on Walter with terrifying force, accompanied by howling winds.

"when……"

Walter parried with his spear, his expression changing involuntarily.

knight?

What incredible strength!

"Snapped!"

Before he could catch his breath, a sudden bright light appeared before his eyes, so bright that he instinctively closed them.

Light spell!

Oh no!

Walter's heart pounded, and he retreated rapidly.

"Trying to leave?"

Karl hummed softly:

"It's too late!"

Lesser Spell Field!

Eagle strike!

Gale Slash!

Although the Light spell was only a zero-level spell, he found it to be very useful in combat.

With a series of broadsword strikes, the immense force crushed the opponent, forcing Walter to retreat repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he showed signs of weakness.

"die!"

Karl roared.

Flames suddenly burst forth from the broadsword.

Fire Mark!

"boom!"

The fiery seal, carrying immense force, sent Walter flying, his armor plates flying everywhere, and countless ribs broken.

After landing, he tried to struggle to get up.

Carl stepped forward, placing one foot on Walter's chest, and simultaneously thrust his broadsword downwards.

"puff!"

The sword pierced his heart, extinguishing his life force.

"Konan!"

"what!"

Xiao Nan paused for a moment before rushing over.

Karl ripped the package off Xiao Nan's back and threw it into the air, simultaneously slashing with his broadsword.

"Splash..."

Numerous precious items, such as the meat of exotic beasts and seeds of magic seals, were scattered in all directions like rain.

"Gentlemen!"

Karl raised his hand and launched a fireball at a city guard soldier:

"Kill them!"

"All of these things are yours!"

"boom!"

Flames exploded, and soldiers screamed as they rushed into a house, which was then engulfed in flames.

This fire didn't just burn on him.

It ignited a passion in the hearts of many people present; those watching breathed heavily, and their eyes began to gleam with intense desire.

Karl raised his hand again.

Fireballs were thrown one after another, hitting the surrounding houses, tents, and city guards.

"The city guards are all exploring the Forgotten City. There aren't many people on the ground now, and I've already killed Walter."

"What are you afraid of?"

Karl raised his broadsword high and roared:

"Kill them!"

"Pick up the things on the ground, take the weapons in your hands, and steal what rightfully belongs to you. Let's see if you have the guts!"

"Ha ha..." the bard Mond laughed loudly.

"That's it!"

"kill!"

With that, he brandished his sword and charged towards the city guard.

"Clang..."

Someone slowly drew a long sword.

"That's right!"

Someone whispered, a flicker of fanaticism appearing in their deathly still eyes:

"It's time they paid the price!"

"Fuck it!"

One of them roared and charged at the beast meat on the ground:

"Mine, all of it is mine!"

"Whoosh..."

moment.

The people of Black City harbored a wild beast within them, which awakened under the influence of chaos and desire.

"boom!"

The crowd began to stir, and chaos began to emerge.

"Walk!"

Karl pulled Xiao Nan and Lyon aside and whispered:

"Go find Aya and the others."

"Uncle."

Xiao Nan was still heartbroken over the contents of her package when she heard this, she blinked and said:

"What do we do next?"

"Leave the city!"

Karl opened his mouth:

"Leave Black City!"

Carl never expected that his simple experiment would cause such a huge commotion.

In a short time, the Raqqa market was in complete chaos.

Moreover, the impact of the unrest is becoming increasingly widespread.

"The city guard knights have all been killed, what's there to be afraid of?"

"superior!"

"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let's grab it!"

"..."

The people of Black City had had enough of the city guards' exploitation, and now that they saw hope, they went completely mad.

They rushed towards the city guards, shouting and yelling for their lives.

more,

They took advantage of the situation, targeting the stalls and shops set up by the city guards.

The Black City people who have survived to this day are all cunning and cruel; once greed takes hold, chaos erupts instantly.

Gradually, they started robbing more than just the city guards.

They even robbed other people!

The unrest spread further and further, with flames raging in the heart of Black City and shouts of battle echoing everywhere.

The city guards not only failed to quell the unrest, but were also caught up in it, emboldening the others.

A certain outpost.

A group of people walked out of the room, looking in the direction of the Raqqa market, their eyes almost bursting with fervor.

"Commander!"

"After all these years, Black City is finally in chaos. Shall we make our move?"

"yes!"

The crowd began to shout.

"Then let's go."

The leader picked up a spiked stick, grinned, and pointed towards the market:

"Brothers, charge with me!"

"Kill them! Rob them!"

"Charge!"

A ruin.

A group of mercenaries stood up, exchanged glances, and a strange excitement filled the air.

Someone pulled out a dagger and licked it with their tongue:

"I love this atmosphere!"

"Let's make a mess of it!"

"The more chaotic, the better!"

The captain raised his spear and shook it:

"Let's call on the people nearby and go join in the fun. Someone will handle it afterwards anyway."

"yes!"

"That's how it should be!"

of course.

Some choose to join in, while others choose to escape the chaos and flee to the outskirts of the city.

and even……

Take the opportunity to leave Black City.

"Uncle!"

Aya quickly packed up the things in the stronghold, and at the same time, with a flick of her wrist, two daggers appeared in her palm:

"You were gone for so long, and you're only just coming back now. What happened?"

"This isn't the time to talk about this." Karl pulled over a piece of black cloth and swept the things inside:

"Let's leave first and talk about it later."

He had become much stronger, but he didn't think he could fight against the city guards, not to mention the mercenaries in the city.

There are at least ten knights alone.

And then there's Hal, the top-tier knight!

With the city guards and skilled mercenaries all underground and the city in chaos, this is the perfect opportunity to leave.

"..." Aya paused slightly in her tidying up, then nodded:

"good!"

"Oh, right, there are some things underground."

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so she naturally prepared more than just this one stronghold.

"No, thank you." Karl shook his head and strode towards the door.

Which direction is less defended?

"I know a secret path." Aya slung her pack over her shoulder, jogged to catch up, and pointed south:

"That's the same route Uncle Cologne took back then, but unfortunately he was still discovered by the city guards after leaving the city."

"There are few people there."

"Let's go then." Karl waved, signaling the others to follow.

The group of seven headed toward the secret passage Aya had mentioned, encountering people dressed similarly to them along the way.

The sounds of battle could even be faintly heard from the direction of the city gate.

Obviously,

Some people, like them, planned to escape the city in the chaos, but the city gates were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so how easy was it to force their way through?

"Over here!"

Aya waved and ran towards a pile of ruins, where she dug through a pile of wood with both hands.

Behind them was a narrow path overgrown with tall grass.

There were fresh footprints on the path.

"Um?"

Aya was startled for a moment, then came to her senses:

"The grass has fallen down, so someone must have taken this path."

If she knows this secret passage, others may also know it; there are no absolute secrets in the world.

"Um."

Karl nodded and took the lead.

The secret passage leads directly to the city wall, where there is a hole at the bottom, which should have been blocked with stones.

right now,

The hole was pushed open.

Passing through the hole, a dense jungle came into view.

Black City has no moat, and few people have entered or left for decades. The area outside the city has long been covered with various green plants.

"Are you out?"

Xiao Nan looked surprised and kept turning back to look at the location of the city wall, her voice filled with disbelief:

"We just came out like this?"

"yes."

Aya's voice was confused:

"We're out! We've left... Black City!"

For countless days and nights, they dreamed of leaving Black City, a place filled with nightmares and death.

But numerous obstacles prevented them from moving forward.

now,

Suddenly we were out of the city.

The process went more smoothly than expected.

Suddenly, their hearts were not filled with joy, but with a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

"not yet."

Carl shook his head:

"At least we need to get away from Black City and escape the city guards' pursuit before it counts."

He turned around and looked into the depths of the dense forest, where he could vaguely see figures moving back and forth.

Those who left Black City before them were clearly less fortunate and were being hunted down by the city guards.

"puff!"

"what!"

The flashing of swords and the clash of blades were followed by screams of agony.

The seven city guards cut down those who tried to escape the city and walked towards them, parting the vines.

"Anyone else wants to take this path?"

A soldier sneered:

"It seems that keeping this dog hole is still somewhat useful; at least it can give us some fun when we're bored."

Listen to the tone of voice.

They clearly knew about this passage all along, and the reason they didn't block it was simply to pass the time when they were bored.

Be careful.

The other person spoke up:

"There are quite a few people coming out this time."

"What are you afraid of?"

The soldier raised the crossbow in his hand:

"We have this!"

His crossbow could only fire three bolts at a time, yet it possessed a lethality capable of threatening a knight.

The men, each armed with four powerful crossbows, were not afraid of the knights.

"Oh……"

Karl shook his head and chuckled softly, while raising his left hand:

"Guna!"

"Whoosh!"

Armor materialized out of thin air, and after quickly donning it, a black-armored warrior exuding a chilling aura appeared before them.

The room fell silent.

Several city guards stood stiffly, their eyes filled with fear, and instinctively retreated.

What is this?

Not only them, but Aya and the others who were seeing this scene for the first time were also astonished, and then their faces lit up with joy.

"Whoosh!"

The figure moved.

The ground beneath Karl's feet exploded with a roar, propelling him instantly to one of the men.

Swing your sword!

Rage Strike!

hack!

"puff!"

The broadsword fell from below his forehead and between his legs, leaving a trail of blood as it sliced ​​the city guard in two.

"what!"

"Kill him!"

The remaining city guards looked terrified and frantically pulled the triggers, while some turned and ran without saying a word.

"when……"

The crossbow bolts struck the armor, only scattering a few sparks.

Karl was like the Grim Reaper, wielding his broadsword and charging into the crowd, each strike taking a life.

Seven people,

At least three of them were knights' squires, yet they were powerless against Karl alone.

In the blink of an eye, corpses littered the ground.

Karl sheathed his sword:

"Grab the crossbows from them, pack your things, and let's go."

"Ah..." Aya was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly:

"yes!"

They had thought the mission would be extremely dangerous, but to their surprise, Karl had already taken care of it without them even having to lift a finger.

On the contrary, Xiao Nan and Leon, who were somewhat aware of Karl's strength, were not surprised by this.

"Uncle."

Aya spoke:

"The city closest to Black City is Vitley, which is also known as the City of the Sun and the Port of Freedom."

"Old Lev said that Vitley City has no city guards, and even the city lord cannot arbitrarily oppress ordinary people."

"Let's go there!"

"Do you know the way?" Carl asked, turning his head.

"I don't know." Aya shook her head, then said:

"But I know the direction!"

"The Adli River should be ahead. Follow the river westward, and the city of Vitley will be where the river flows into the Endless Sea."

"It's easy to find." Carl nodded.

"You guys go first, I'll come find you in a while."

"..." Aya paused in her steps:

"Uncle."

Everyone else looked panicked as well.

To be honest, they were all quite young, and after leaving Black City, they were filled with uncertainty about their future.

Karl was the pillar of their group.

They panicked when they heard that Karl didn't intend to travel with them.

The group arrived at a high slope. Karl stood at the top of the slope, turned around, and looked towards the location of Black City:

"There might be pursuers. I can stay behind to help you intercept them, and I also have some things to take care of."

"Uncle..." Aya began to speak.

"No need to say more." Karl raised his hand, interrupting her.

"If you could survive in Black City, you'll definitely be able to live even better after leaving Black City."

"Besides, we're not really separated now, it's just temporary. I have a way to find you."

Let's go!

He waved his hand:

"Let's get out of here before the chaos in the city subsides and the city guards discover anyone escaping."

"..." Aya's expression changed, and after a long while, she slowly nodded:

"Yes."

The group looked at Karl, turning back every few steps as they walked towards the river, until their figures gradually disappeared after a long time.

"call……"

Karl exhaled a long, stale breath:

"Finally, I'm all alone."

next moment.

He stepped into the fragment of the divine realm.

Before he could even sort out his spoils, the bundle on his body suddenly trembled, and two items flew out on their own.

Ok?

Karl was taken aback.

He immediately broke into a look of ecstatic joy.
