Wolf King

In addition to the main ring road planned in the early stage of urban expansion, other areas in Xiacheng District are quite inadequate. Basically, the landlord who rented the land wanted to cover it as much as possible; this resulted in other streets and alleys in the whole Xiacheng District except the main road As complicated as a labyrinth, and as chaotic as a spider web layered together.

Several men left the site of the Snow Wolf Clan Recruitment Office and walked around the winding alley for ten minutes before drilling into a wooden house using shabby canvas as a curtain.

This kind of wooden house that also closed the curtain in the daytime is mostly a low-end prostitute. After entering the door, you can see a dozen prostitutes of different ages, numb expressions, and thin cheeks sitting on the bench placed in the corridor; a few The men looked at them without looking at them, and hurried across them.

"Master Barrett." The middle-aged man sitting in the first room at the door saw the men rush in and hurriedly got up and bowed, nodding and bowing.

"Huh." The headed man nodded perfunctoryly and led the person into the room straight into the back inner room.

The owner of the prostitute has been bending down respectfully, waiting for the door of the inner room to be closed again, and straightened up. "Boo" spit, and went to the corridor to scream at the women: "Look at you Like what, the dead fish just picked up looks better than you! What are you doing sitting here, get out and solicit!"

Barrett got into the tunnel from the secret door in the interior of the prostitute, and after a few minutes of trotting in the dripping tunnel, he finally arrived at his destination...a basement that somebody dug into the tunnel.

"How?" The man waiting inside seemed to be quite impatient, and Barrett asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door.

Barrett quickly bent down: "Master, those Snow Werewolves don't sell anything. I only saw them talking to the poor ghosts in Nancheng, it seems to be..."

"What does it seem to be?" The young master dissatisfied, "Don't sell Guanzi, just say it!"

"Yes... they seem to want to recruit those poor ghosts as workers." Barrett looked up, puzzled. "When we returned, they had recruited more than three hundred people."

"Recruiting workers?" The young master was startled, and immediately appeared unhappy. "The Snow Wolf clan came to Valentin to recruit workers? Barrett, you are not kidding me again?!"

"Of course I dare not, Master." Barrett lowered his head again. "They did say so. They hired workers to work across the Inland Sea. The five-coin salary will bring them back in winter."

"Valentine came here specifically to recruit workers?" The young master sneered. "Huh... Are the goods they unloaded from the Adventurer's Association ship ready to rot in the warehouse? Barrett, your ability to retreat or look down on me ?Do you think this kind of reply can fool Master Ben?"

"Dare not, young master." Barrett's waist bent a little more.

"Then roll over and follow!" The young master was furious, and the exquisite glass with half a glass of wine in his hand suddenly hit Barrett's head. "I want to know who they intend to contact and sell to! Ferdinand's family Did the **** do anything good with those Snow Werewolf goods? Don’t you know? How could Lamia feed you such a fool!!!"

Barrett didn't dare to raise his head, and retreated from the basement backwards.

"It's all waste!" The master swept the bottle on the table scoldingly, stood up, and then pumped up the maid who was escorting carefully beside him. Then, after a little breath, he turned to the stairs.

Connected to this basement is a house close to the midtown area. After waiting for hours, the young master has no interest in continuing to stay in the poorly aired downtown area. The maid puts on his cloak and pulls off his hood to cover him Face, went out on the carriage, went straight to Shangcheng.

The Lamia Chamber of Commerce has an independent hall in the upper city, and the hall is not as luxurious as some noble houses. Stepping into his familiar residence, reaching out and embracing the beautiful lover who was greeted with a smile, the master's anger completely dissipated.

The lover snuggled in the arms of the young master and the young master acted coquettishly until the young master agreed to invite the Hai princess to sing at the birthday party for her, and remembered the business: "Oh, Eddie, two hours ago by Marcus Philip Been here once, and waited for you for half an hour before leaving."

"Why didn't you say that early?!" Master Eddie rubbed and stood up.

"Isn't this what I told you~"

Master Eddie was not in a mood to ignore her lover's coquettishness, and hurried out of the room: "Butler!"

"Master." The white-haired man in the deacon greeted him immediately.

"Preparing the carriage, I'm going to the main palace."

A few minutes later, Master Eddie’s carriage drove out of the Valentin branch of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce again and drove to the Philip Mansion, the city’s main palace.

The son of Philip the City Lord, Markus, who was still intoxicated with flowers in his forties, happily greeted the door and took Master Eddie to visit his collection. The two were as close as brothers.

On the street opposite the Philip Mansion, a figure hidden in the shadows of the landscape trees appeared.

"Lamiya really stared at the Snow Werewolf...not easy to deal with, how can Philip's son be so close to the people in the Chamber of Commerce, Philip's old man is faint, and he doesn't care about his son?" Primo in stealth There was nothing to squat by the root of the tree, scratching his head.

Downtown area.

Grassroot Patriarch, Isaac, Hannah, Knight Brothers and others, after twenty minutes of walking through the streets...unexpectedly lost their way.

In a narrow alley that can only accommodate two people, the self-built dilapidated wooden shacks are tightly covered, and the residents are still quite unfriendly, saying nothing, opening the door, and shouting to them completely Ignore it.

"I smell the smell of someone in it, why don't we break in?" A group of people took a picture of the gate for a long time without any movement, the grassroot patriarch suggested.

"Uh...not very good." Isaac didn't dare to let the grass roots mess up, and continued to work **** the door. "I'm disturbed. Is anyone in there? Can you ask the way, we are willing to pay."

"Squeak", the knocking door didn't open, and a crooked wooden door at the side and back opened a slit, and a thin, skull-like face appeared in the door, looking at the outside with horror. Outlander.

"Hello..." Hannah turned around immediately, and the result was "Boom", and the wooden door closed again.

Hannah: "..."

"I'll do it." Edward Knight, the shield knight, squeezed over from the grassroots patriarch and leaned over to the door. "Hello, ma'am, we're lost. We want to find the way back to the street. We will pay, can we?"

The closed door opened again, and the thin, panicked face appeared again: "How much do you pay?"

Edward took a coin out of his pocket and said softly: "Madam, if you have time to take us for a ride, this silver coin will be used as a gift."

The shiny silver coins undoubtedly have a strong temptation to the residents living in this shack. The people in the door swallowed a spit and stared straight at the coins in Edward's hands. They hesitated a little and pulled the door open. half.

Seeing the image of this resident, even the knightly brothers who are accustomed to the poor can't help but breathe a sigh of relief-this is how a skinny body, ragged cloth barely covers the shame, chest, arms , Thighs, and the bones under the crumpled skin are clearly visible, as if nothing except bones and skin.

"I thought that the previous Ayun was thin enough. Why is it so thin?!"

The grassroot patriarch was very intolerant. The slap pushed Edward away and took out a piece of candy to try to stuff it with each other. But look at the other person's arm with three fingers at most. A little sugar, Ayun said that there is strength in sugar."

This female resident was completely frightened by the grass root patriarch who was taller than her house. When she saw the sugar that the grass root patriarch took out, she instantly threw her fear behind her head and reached out fiercely to grab the sugar. , Rushed into the mouth.

The entrance to the sugar cubes and the sweetness spread through the tip of the tongue. The female resident swayed slightly and squatted slowly.

Grassroot patriarch: "?" Looking at Isaac for help.

"Should—it's okay?" Isaac couldn't understand the reaction.

"... She probably ate sugar for the first time." Hannah sighed.

"That's it." The grassroot patriarch scratched his scalp. "I thought that only our snow wolf tribe had a bad life." The sugar on the grassland was precious. Ayun took everyone to farm and hadn't eaten it a few times. .

Several people waited patiently for the only resident who was willing to take care of them to eat the candy. The petite one of the female adventurers squeezed over to lift her up, and saw that the rags on her body were really rotten. He took off his coat and put it on her.

"Thank you...Thank you... My name is Mary, and I will show you the masters..." Mary was flattered and bowed, almost falling to the ground.

"Don't worry, go slowly." Isaac was a little afraid of the man's swaying gait, and greeted Hannah leaning back, giving way, and glancing at her residence again, "Is there anyone in your family, It’s okay to let your family show us the way, you... maybe need to take a break."

Mary shook her head quickly and begged, "They are not at home... I can, my lords, I really can." It is rare to earn silver coins, and she really does not want to give up.

Isaac glanced at the others in embarrassment: "Otherwise, please take a break, don't be so excited, Alyssa, help her sit down first."

The petite female adventurer persuaded the female resident to sit on the threshold of her home and took out a small bag of meat floss for her to give her more energy. The most popular snack among the Snow Werewolves is meat floss. She also saved herself.

"Huh?" The grassroot patriarch's ear moved and turned his head, and found that the family who had not taken the picture for a long time opened the door, revealing two similarly thin faces, and the four longing eyes were staring closely at the meat floss. Female resident.

"I just said someone was there!" The grassroot patriarch pointed frankly.

The two faces shrank back, and within a few seconds they couldn't help showing it, staring at the stranger in the alley with fear and longing.

"Hmm..." The younger brother of the Cavaliers looked at Wynn and whispered something with his brother Edward. Edward nodded repeatedly, sideways through the grassroots patriarch, and whispered with Isaac and Hanna .

"It should be done!" Hannah clapped her hands.

"But the alleys in this place are too dense to open," Isaac frowned.

"Isn't it over to borrow her house? After tearing down the broken shed, there will be a place. Looking back, we will make a good room for her house. For this shed, I found the materials for half an hour." Hannah went to Mary's house Finger of the house.

"...Yeah." Isaac's eyes lit up.

Just do it, the ranger girl Alyssa took Mary to show the way, took Hannah and the cavalier brothers out, and others demolished the house on the spot...

The neighbor at the door also envied Mary's food, and immediately saw that Mary's house had been demolished. She was so scared that she closed the door and went back to sleep and starved.

About an hour later, the family who was lying down to reduce their body consumption suddenly smelled the smell of food that made their souls tremble...

"The five silver coins salary recruits workers, both men and women, to control food and give food to their families!"

"There is something to eat when you sign up, hurry up!"

This family is home to two sisters. The father who runs errands in Beicheng can only guarantee that the sisters can eat half a meal a day. In addition to the necessary housework, they must rely on sleeping to fight hunger. Listening to the noise outside and smelling the aroma of food, the sisters couldn't hold back, and they climbed out of the haystack on the ground as a bed, carefully slitting the door and peeking out sideways .

The house on the opposite side of Mary's house was demolished cleanly, and the cleared space was laid with a stove iron pot and a table Maza. The aroma of the food came from the boiling iron pot.

The Cavaliers shouted in each of the four directions, and they saw that every door and door of the house was moving. Some opened the door, some pushed the window, and countless pairs of eyes came from all corners.

Edward sighed and said: "The poor in Valentin live and work on the docks. The food they earn must be given to men at home. In this low season of sea trade, unless a woman goes to "do business", she will not be able to eat anything, of course, nothing. People can walk home with great strength... and can't go far if they can."

Isaac, who came from a good family, looked awkward...

The bitter days of the adventurers include Hannah Qiqi nodding, they really ignored this.

The grassroot patriarch was shocked: "Ah? Why not feed yourself?!"

"Uh..." a group of humans didn't know how to answer.

"If you don't have enough food, how can you work hard, then don't you need someone else to feed?" The grassroot patriarch really didn't understand.

A group of humans silently looked at the grass-root clan's body as strong as a bear, and it was very difficult... Fortunately, local residents who could not bear the temptation walked out of the house and walked toward this side with hobbled, cowering, Alleviated human embarrassment.

I have to say, I really saw these human women lying at home starving, this group of people who have at least been struggling from the food and clothing line feel shocked... The female resident named Mary, who is struggling to stand still is not at all In one case, her neighbors were not much better than hers.

The first to be brave was a woman described as aging, gaunt, skinny, and she couldn't help swallowing, spitting, looking eagerly at the adventurers: "Masters, you need to hire workers, can I do this? "

"Well..." Isaac looked at the grassroots chief embarrassedly. Even if she was younger than Mary, raising one can restore her health. This is really...

"It doesn't take much effort to spin the thread. You can do it with cubs. It should be no problem." The grassroot patriarch was very impatient, and of course he would not refuse.

Edward listened to the instructions given by the grassroots patriarch, and took the initiative to meet him: "Madam, for us to work, we need to take a boat to the west coast of the northern mainland. Is there anything wrong with your family? Are there any children who need to be taken care of?

The woman said eagerly: "Master Knight, my child is 14 years old, can she and she go?"

Edward turned again to look at the grassroots patriarch.

"A ten-year-old hawk cub can spin a thread, and a 14-year-old human race should have no problem." The grassroot patriarch nodded vigorously.

Edward gently said: "Madam, if you want, you and your children can work for us..."

"I am willing, I am willing!" The woman was grateful for not knowing what to say, "My daughter is still working, I can call her back, can I?"

"Of course, we will continue to recruit people here today, and we will leave when we are full of talent."

With this woman taking the lead, residents who lived nearby came to sign up one after another, and the flow of people continued gradually; people who lived on the street and had the power to walk to the street had hesitant capital, and people who were hungry to the point that it was difficult to go out could be said to be except There is nothing in one life. What is the risk of working abroad compared to starving to death?

The earliest women who signed the employment contract had a beautifully cooked meal of fans (Xiao Yun, after seeing the physical condition of resident Mary, only asked Hannah to bring their fans over and told each People should not eat too much, let the oil be less, to avoid stomach problems), so they went to her daughter busy.

The locals would not get lost in the labyrinthine alleys. The woman skillfully crossed the cobweb-like path and came to the street. After anxiously waiting for a while, she finally saw the wandering spirits from the street. The daughter who came over.

"Mom?" Seeing the woman, the girl looked back nervously, making sure that no one from the prostitute followed and ran to her mother, pulling her into the alley.

Before the woman opened her mouth, the girl stooped and took out a few coins from her shoes and stuffed them into her hands: "I searched very tightly recently, I really can't hide the money... Mom, please buy some bread with the money. Don't come to me, they won't let you off if they are seen."

"Baby, listen to me, you don’t have to go to the prostitute anymore. Let’s go together and work in the Inner Sea. If we go far, no one can find us anymore." The woman held the girl tightly Hand.

"Mom? What are you talking about?"

The woman lowered her voice and quickly and hurriedly: "There is a group of lords who come to our house to recruit workers. I can see clearly. There are three knights among them. Those knight lords also listened to the words of a very strong interracial lord. Very well, it was a kind of cloth produced by elves that I had seen when I was young... We followed them, and the brothers did not dare to treat us!"

"Really?" the girl was surprised.

"Quick, sign up with me, and we will follow them after signing up." The woman took the daughter's hand and was about to leave.

"Wait... Mom, I want to inform Winnie of them." The girl followed two steps and stopped again, "If Winnie and they are willing, take them with them?"

The woman hesitated and gritted her teeth: "Okay!"

The girl asked the woman to wait in the alley and ran out to find a companion who was also forced by the Brotherhood.

For the poor at the bottom, self-esteem and chastity are a luxury. No one would be ashamed to betray the body in exchange for a chance to survive when they are about to survive.

But in Nancheng, it’s not easy to betray yourself...People who have a relationship with the union can get the union’s blessing, can “open” in their own home, and every copper plate they earn can be replaced with food and fall into themselves or their family members. in stomach.

If those disadvantaged people and women are not aging or ugly or weakened like Mary, letting men see their appetite, then you can't help yourself if you don't do the skin business.

The sky gradually darkened, and with the efforts of Thrall's mouth attack and the efforts of the Cavaliers, Xiao Yun received a total of more than 560 male worker contracts and clapped his hands with satisfaction: "OK, almost, everyone is working hard! Come personally Go and inform Isaac and Hannah that they are ready to return to work."

"Ayun, they are back!" The head of the Li family is not bad, pointing to the other side of the street, "A lot of people!"

"Huh? Lying!"

Isn't it? When I went, a dozen people came back, followed by a large group of Wutuo...

When he came out of the job site, Xiao Yun saw that the people behind them were human women, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Isaac, you didn't tell them clearly that we will pick someone up in a few days?"

"I said it, but..." Isaac was very tangled.

"Let me say it." Hannah now feels that Isaac's young master is ill, and squeezes him forward. "That's the case, we signed a total of 617 female workers, of which more than 30 They are prostitutes controlled by the Brotherhood of Thieves. They want to go with us and don’t want to sell their skins, but if they are not taken away now, it is estimated that the Brothers of Thieves will let them go."

"How much?" Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly glared big and bright.

Hannah is not stupid, and I still don’t know where Xiao Yun’s itch is: “We signed 617 female workers. In the future, the contract was not enough. Several people signed one together. Many people didn’t force to sign. The contract is to take the Anjia vermicelli, saying that we will give it when we come to pick them up."

"Drift~bright!!!" Xiao Yunmei smiled and slapped heavily on Hannah's shoulder. "Good job, everyone is great! Tonight, everyone who makes delicious food!"

"Um..." Isaac looked constipated.

Xiao Yun ignored the young master, and looked at the group of reserved female workers who shrank from the back, showing a particularly warm smile: "Don’t be afraid, everyone who signed the employment contract is our Snow Wolf... the worker, who I can’t take it away!"

The grassroot patriarch turned his head and said, "Hear it, our Ayun has a very good way. If he says he is not afraid, he need not be afraid."

I don’t know if I’ve been in a special industry and I know how to look and feel. These women workers who are going to work are not afraid of the grass-rooted patriarch who is as strong as a bear. They trust her and nod.

More than 30 people are not settled down, Xiao Yun immediately commanded the guys to pack things on the road, and later they could not get out of the city-the hotel accommodation in the city was expensive!

Xiaoyun just found the jars and jars, and suddenly found no one on the street.

"Huh?" Xiao Yun frowned, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, is it...

I was looking around to see if Primo was hiding nearby. Over a hundred strong men suddenly came out of the alleys.

"Leave the woman!" The head was a grumpy middle-aged man, "Where's the emaciated, who will rob your courage and brothers?!"

"Fuck convex! Frighten the labor and capital! Let me think that Lamia doesn't talk about the Basic Law!" Xiao Yun's face was all black. "A group of pimps jumped into this virtue, Valentine pills!" "

In the city's palace, Philip the city suddenly shivered.

"Huh?" Sean looked at his old friend strangely.

"It's weird... I always feel the chills today." Lord Philip grabbed the back of his neck suspiciously. "Is someone cursing me all day?"
