No one remembers the name of this city, they only know that it is a place beyond the reach of the law.
This is not to say that they do not follow any laws - on the contrary, people living here need to memorize various complicated rules and integrate them into every detail of their lives.
Because in this city, the laws of Carral and Farajo are invalid. Correspondingly, each area and even each street of this city has its own independent prohibitions.
The more lawless the place, the more authoritative the few remaining prohibitions become.
If someone doesn’t understand why the City of Fortune can maintain a clever balance in such a chaotic state, so that it has not been destroyed for decades or even a hundred years, then he had better listen to the City of Fortune first
The three first and final laws at the founding:
If it is not discovered, it is not a crime;
Without prosecution, no investigation is allowed;
If you cannot prove your innocence, you are automatically considered guilty.
Basically, anyone in the City of Fortune can find a reason for his guilt or consider him innocent. There is even a saying that "the devil will be arrested when he comes here."
Of course, this kind of law that can be called mentally ill also has a basis for its birth.
At that time, Carral had just become independent from the Bantha, and its background was as thin as paper. It was a principality in name, but it had no farmland, no citizens, and no laws. The treasury was empty, and there was only one armed force that could be called an army.
Even officials have to wear several hats.
Even with the protection of the group of druids, Kalar's independence is still not favored by others, and is not even recognized by other countries. Because Kalar is a subordinate state of Bantha, if Bantha suddenly does not recognize Kalar's independence one day,
With its independent status, it is possible to directly send troops to attack Kalal - it is almost certain that Bantha will fall out sooner or later. And if Bantha really wants to rebel, Kalal will not be able to resist even if he is protected by a druid.
In fact, as early as the War of the Gods, the defeated Druids were expelled by the Allied Forces of the Gods and were forced to swear an oath that they would fail if they clashed head-on with the armies of the Gods.
Generally speaking, the intelligence departments of various countries believe that the reason why druids can participate in the war is mainly because Bantha did not send the Templar Army to the front line. After all, no one would have thought that druids who had been expelled for more than a hundred years would suddenly appear.
come out.
Because the profession of Templars is very pretentious, they must fight near the temple of their god to have the most powerful combat effectiveness, and unlike priests who can communicate with their gods anytime and anywhere, they only have slightly worse perception attributes.
Only at a certain fixed time every day can you contact the gods and restore your divine power. Moreover, different gods have different perception times, which is extremely inconvenient when marching.
Therefore, until the last moment, they are responsible for defense tasks, especially the defense of important areas such as the capital.
It is precisely because the druids cannot face the established temple army head-on that Kalal must expel all priests so that the druids can protect the country normally; it is also because the druids cannot face the temple army directly, so in
After the army of ordinary people was destroyed, Kalal was so easily destroyed by the Lord of Violence.
Everyone, even Kalal's own citizens, believe that allowing Kalal to establish a state is just a delaying tactic for Bantha. Once Bantha's intelligence organization learns that Kalal's only defense force is a group of druids, Bantha only needs to let the Saints
When the Templar Knights go to war, the newly established Karal will be torn to pieces like paper.
To put it bluntly, those who resolutely chose to stay in Karar after their passionate brains roasted by the flames of war cooled down, and those who left the country besides being speculators were all true love.
But when it comes to opportunists, we have to talk about this group of people.
When everyone was not optimistic about Kalal's independence, a strange brigade saw a great opportunity in the crumbling Kalal.
This brigade was composed of a liar, a murderer, a human trafficker, a gangster, a cultist and a lunatic. They donated a large sum of money to Kalal and bought Kalal's most beautiful car at nearly three times the normal price. Permanent control of the margins, the poorest lands.
Then, to everyone's surprise, Su Ze declared war on Bansa. In this war, Bansa consumed so much power that he had no time to worry about remaining silent and looking good for a long time. Kalal. But when Bansa regained his strength, Kalal also survived the most difficult period and got on the right track - so Bansa still couldn't attack Kalal.
And that land later became a famous - or rather infamous - city of wealth. Attracted by those three laws, countless conspirators from other countries, wanted criminals, and cultists were sentenced to death ten times. The nobles who had temporarily failed in the political struggle joined here one after another. On the contrary, the first six people died under the laws they set.
Since then, this place has become a completely deserted land.
Because of the entanglement of various forces - even involving members of the ruling families of multiple countries, Karar was afraid to easily take back this land.
This is a paradise for liars, a hunting ground for murderers, and a holy place for cultists to preach. Thieves and arms dealers are as cute and harmless as sheep here.
As long as you have money, spending a period of time here will be the most luxurious and dangerous experience in your life.
Generally speaking, some big forces give their heirs a sum of money, and then send them to the City of Wealth for a period of time to gain experience when they reach adulthood.
During this period, they will not have any protection from the family, nor will they enjoy any support from the family. Anyone who cannot resist temptation will spend all their money early or be cheated or robbed - in short Those who cannot live to the appointed day basically have no chance of inheriting even if they can survive. Those who cannot bear temptation, or are useless people who do not have enough intelligence and force to protect themselves, even if they are lucky enough to get the inheritance, they will only Ruined all the family property.
And those who not only did not spend all the money they brought, but were able to make money from the City of Wealth, are undoubtedly powerful. This means that they already have the ability to survive in the City of Wealth, even if they have the ability of their parents. There is a difference, but it won’t be too big——
"I don't know why Uncle Marcus wants us to come here all of a sudden."
Loud complaints came from the front.
"Look away, Sister Niya, Uncle Marcus won't harm us," followed by an energetic voice, "At least there are a lot of tricks here, right?"
"Don't compare me to you brainless men," the first voice scolded harshly, "I asked Uncle Marcus and he said it's very dangerous here and he asked us to be careful. It's best to go in. The city will look for him immediately."
"No matter how dangerous it is, can we survive the battlefield dangerously?" The energetic voice clearly disapproved, "The Titans' heavy cavalry formation didn't kill me, so I don't believe what these scum can do to me."
Attracted by these two voices, everyone around them turned their attention.
That was unconcealed malicious intent. If the malice in their eyes had warmth, not even a single ashes of these two people would be left at this moment.
"...Anyway, it's better to be careful."
Perhaps he sensed some bad atmosphere, he hesitated for a moment, and the mean voice weakened.
"Coward," the energetic voice snorted disdainfully, "I'm going out to have a good time tonight, sister, just tell me whether you can come or not."
"Who is a coward? I'm just worried that you don't bring enough money to pay my share and then someone will take your fingers and chop them off!"
The sharp female voice immediately responded not to be outdone.
"Oh, two chicks."
Kruveen and Roland were sitting face to face in the carriage. Hearing the undisguised noise coming from behind them, they couldn't help but chuckle.
The City of Wealth is a place where personal force has almost no effect. Unless you can reach the golden level, it will be slightly useful. What's more, just by listening to the voice, Kruveen can tell that the two people behind him are definitely not more than
Twenty years old.
It is already good for a person of this age to have the strength of the Black Iron level. A certain elder in their family seemed to have no good intentions and did not tell them about the special nature of this place...
It's probably a struggle for power.
Kruveen could almost conclude that the two little guys behind him would never survive tonight.
Those people who stared at the two children with vulture-like eyes wanted to do exactly the same thing as vultures.
But when he turned his attention back, he suddenly found that his "female companion" was holding out a letter and looking at the light with her head in faith.
"Helllan, what are you doing?"
he asked puzzledly.
The black-haired girl looked back, showing an extremely innocent smile, but the voice that came out of her mouth was hoarse and very magnetic: "It's just some preliminary preparations."
"Is that the letter of introduction Farina prepared for you?"
Kruveen frowned: "Let me put it bluntly, that woman's things..."
"It's best not to touch it, right?" Roland interrupted him rudely, "Of course I know about it. So I took out this letter to do another thing."
"Another thing?"
"That's right. I just want to see if there is any mention in this letter whether the person who sent the letter is one person or two people." Roland pointed the letter at the light and looked at it carefully. "Farina must have set the settings after opening the envelope.
There is no need to doubt that the magic circle will automatically burn after reading it once. More importantly, in order to ensure that the spontaneous combustion of this letter will not be intercepted by others, and then trace her through the remains of this letter, Falina
Only oil-impregnated paper, which will burn instantly, should be used as a medium."
"However, she obviously ignored that the oil-soaked paper is transparent - no, it is not so much that she ignored it, it is better to say that she is confident that through the encryption of the code she wrote, even if I can think of this and then use the beam
Just by reading the whole letter, you won’t find the trap she hid in code words. You will only see her sincerity and kindness.”
"In this case, as long as I hand this letter to the guard when I can't enter the city, or go to her property to deliver this letter as she said, I will die without knowing how I died - oh
Yes, the greater possibility is that life is worse than death."
Having said this, Roland sneered and put down the letter.
"But she doesn't know that not only do I know people from the City of Fortune who can take me into the city, but I also know the code words she designed," Roland put on a black windbreaker, put the letter in his arms, and then
He straightened up slightly and prepared to get off the carriage, "Let me tell her that pretending to be an assassination is okay, and the planning is thousands of miles away - she is really not this material."
"Wait! Hellan! Where are you going?!"
Kruveen subconsciously tightened his grip on the door handle: "You can easily cause trouble when you appear outside like this!"
Roland turned around and showed a malicious smile. But that smile became as sweet as a flower in an instant, and there was no trace of haze: "I'm just going to give someone's letter of introduction to someone who needs it more."
."
…Besides, I’m really just here to cause trouble.
Roland added in a hurry and silently in his heart.

First, I’m asking for recommendations on Monday…
Also, the achievement to a higher level has finally been completed... This way we don't have to worry about how to cut the plot every day to make up 3,000 words. It only costs 2k or more every day, and you can do as much as you want. It's really happy!
...Ahem, don't we want to be lazy? We are going to start working on the second achievement...the achievement of ten thousand-word explosions. Time is conserved, and the least update is for the next explosion...
If nothing else happens, there will be two 10,000-word explosions in October. Stay tuned. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
