The market in the royal capital is divided into front street, middle street and back street. Because the back streets are located deep in the streets, they serve more of a storage function.
Most of the goods shipped from all over the country and even from other countries to be sold in the market are piled here.
However, land in the royal capital is extremely expensive. For ordinary people, owning a warehouse here and living a life of collecting rent every month is already a dream and easy life.
Only the great nobles could buy the entire alley. For example, something like the Edgeworth family.
"There are a total of twenty-one alleys on the back street, and my family owns the seventh and eighth lanes among them." Geli introduced in a low voice,
"Some of the warehouses that are no longer in use will be sublet and rent will be charged."
"Alley 11 was originally supposed to be Earl Chapman's property."
"It's just that I don't know whether he sublet it." After taking the little boy home, Wayne, Song Li, and Tasia came to the place where Rock just said
"Backstreet Alley 11".
"Ah, is this the whole street? It's too rich..." Wayne exclaimed without knowledge.
Geli, who was holding his little hand, rolled her eyes at him with disdain.
"Humph". Earl Chapman's title alone is not too high, but his status is transcendent. He is a descendant of a certain princess two generations ago and has royal blood.
At the same time, he is also a close minister of His Majesty the King. He has been deeply trusted for many years and even serves as one of the directors of Qingxi Academy as a representative of the royal family.
Despite this, he has not been having a good time recently. Because he was implicated in Lord Alik's crimes, he was severely reprimanded by His Majesty the King.
After paying a large fine, the earl is now retreating to reflect on his past. Wayne thought thoughtfully as he thought about the information about him.
Tasia withdrew from the sensory state and said: "There seems to be no special magic fluctuation, but a large amount of weak energy reactions are coming from a certain warehouse."
"It's probably that room." Wayne warned the two people around him: "We focus on rescuing the children and not fighting with them. However, once a fight breaks out, make a louder noise. It is best to separate Zhongjie, and Everyone on the front street was attracted." As he said that, he looked at Ge Li again.
"Actually, the best plan is for Tasia and I to go first, and Songli will go back and bring the Edgeworth family to deal with the aftermath." Songli shook his head, refusing to let him go.
"No, that would be too dangerous for you."
"I'm much stronger than you think, have you forgotten?" He blinked and hinted.
Perhaps she also thought that Wayne dared to climb even the wall of the Edgeworth house, which was probably nothing to him, so her expression became slightly unnatural.
But - if it doesn't matter, why do you have to be with Tasia when you don't want to be with yourself?
Song Li became alert.
"...No matter what, I will be with you." She insisted and refused to let go. Seeing her resolute attitude, Wayne had no choice but to give in.
"Okay...be careful later. Anyone who dares to do such a thing is crazy." After he exchanged ideas with Song Li and Tasia on how to cooperate later, he carefully headed towards the location of the target warehouse. Touch it.
The lights are sparse, and only a few warehouse entrances can illuminate a small area. Today's moonlight is equally dim.
Thick clouds cover the entire sky. Only when the night wind blows and occasionally exposes a small flaw, can you be lucky enough to see the white corner of the crescent moon.
A certain gang member was guarding the gate with a long knife in his hand, kicking the stones on the ground in boredom.ぷ999小@said that in a short while, the higher-ups would send someone to count the first ΘmΘm, and his mission for today would be considered completed.
Thinking of this, he relaxed a little. This errand is both difficult and easy. He already felt that he was gradually becoming more proficient. He was looking forward to thinking about where he would go to have fun after his salary was paid, when he suddenly heard a rustling movement not far away.
He was startled, and subconsciously took out the long knife from its sheath, holding the handle in his hand. Did something finally happen today?
In the direction where the tip of the knife was pointed, nothing could be seen except darkness. The long street paved with blue bricks seems to lead to the mouth of a monster that wants to eat people.
There seemed to be something... moving in the darkness. Sweat slid down his cheeks, making his extremely nervous expression look even paler.
"Meow~" A black cat walked with graceful steps from the middle of the street. Seeing the black cat's slightly green eyes, he was slightly startled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, it turns out to be a cat." I really scared myself. Also... if you do this kind of shameful thing too much, you will always feel guilty.
He was about to take the knife back, but for some reason, his hand moved in another direction completely uncontrollably.
Just listen
There was a muffled "pop" sound, the sky and the earth were spinning in the field of vision, and the distance between the eyes and the ground was infinitely close. The last thing he saw was a standing headless figure, with blood splattering from his bowl-sized neck and covering the floor.
Eh? His eyes were blank. Why did my head fall off? There was no pain, just confusion.
However, this question is destined to remain unanswered. Darkness overtook him and he fell into eternal silence.
"Young man, at least think about the people who will be responsible for cleaning up later." A man stepped on the blood stains all over the floor, his tone was very disgusting.
"Sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future." Another slightly thinner figure said sorry, but his face showed a completely indifferent expression.
At this time, a ray of moonlight fell down and fell on the shoulders of the two people, illuminating their faces.
It turned out to be Darcy, the former president of the student union whom he hadn't seen for a long time. And Norman Laird, who has been away from the royal capital for some time.
"There are four magicians inside, one for you and three for me. Is that okay?" Norman Leder said.
"No problem." Darcy seemed to have become a lot more indifferent.
"These children of unknown origin are rare human resources for us. From now on, we will entrust you with such tasks." Norman Laird looked into the warehouse.
"Kill our guards if they see them. Forget those who don't see them. Let them go." He laughed.
"As for the people who died... if you want to blame them, just blame them for their bad luck~" I heard
Darcy twitched the corners of her lips at the word "fate" as if perfunctory. Yes...for some people, fate just favors them.
——As for those who are abandoned by fate, what can they do except return the same dislike to [fate]?
