The northern army was coming much faster than expected. After Su Xiao realized this, he asked Eminem to dig a hole and bury Alexander's body, just like the city of Arans.
Xi was nearby, but she was traveling with the Northern Cavalry, so Su Xiao asked Bubuwang to monitor her so as not to lose traces of Xi.
Along the way, Su Xiao saw many fleeing civilians. Although they did not know the news from the Northern Alliance, the price of food in Arans City had skyrocketed, and the city gate had been sealed this morning.
In order to avoid unrest among the civilians, Mrs. Moon Wolf ordered that Arans City be allowed out but not entered, which prevented large-scale panic.
Serra is not the only place to stay. There are many small countries on the Eastern Continent. Although you will suffer if you go to a small country, you can avoid the disaster of war.
As soon as Su Xiao arrived in front of the city gate of Arans, she found that the place was already full of city guards, with more than a dozen ballistas placed side by side, and above the city wall, a city guard could be seen every half meter.
"stop!"
Several city guards armed with long weapons blocked the way. Su Xiao took out the Duke's Medal, and the city guards immediately let them go.
Su Xiao took Amu and Baha into the city gate. As soon as he walked into the city gate, a cold wind blew, and a few crumpled banknotes floated over. This is Serra's currency, the gold list. The workmanship is not excellent, but
It is quite difficult to imitate, and the seal on it is a special process.
Seeing these crumpled banknotes on the ground, Su Xiao knew that Serra's economic system had collapsed and the banknotes had become waste paper. Gold-plated or pure gold coins could continue to circulate.
The reason why Serra's economic system collapsed so quickly was that several neighboring large cities were captured, trade and transportation were interrupted, causing prices to skyrocket.
After prices skyrocketed, civilians would begin to hoard food, daily necessities, etc. If the Holy Court did not stop it, the supplies in Arans would be exhausted in a short period of time. After that, prices would continue to skyrocket and the currency would depreciate again.
When prices inflated to a limit, the empire's economic system exploded like a balloon, and the banknotes that 'represented value' were instantly worthless. The transaction method was hit by 'dimensionality reduction', from currency transactions to
Barter.
The streets of the city of Arans, which were usually clean and tidy, were now filled with domestic garbage. There was even a corpse hanging in front of a tailor shop.
There was a rotten wooden sign hanging on the foot of the corpse, which read 'Plunder'.
"This is... too fast. Yalansi City was normal yesterday, but food prices skyrocketed."
Baha sighed with emotion, it was the first time he saw an empire dying.
In fact, the situation in the Serra Empire is pretty good. The towering tree in Serra is indeed rotten, but the residents here are relatively happy. At most, the civilians criticize those in power after dinner instead of gathering together.
Carry out large-scale riots.
The only feeling on the streets at this time is that of depression, and that a new empire and a new order are coming.
Su Xiao arrived at the Holy Court District in less than half an hour's walk, walked around and came to a courtyard.
There were several carriages parked in front of the courtyard, with boxes of various sizes tied to them, some of which obviously contained valuables.
"Quick! The city gate will be completely sealed at 10 o'clock."
"Be careful, this is the king's property, don't you have any eyesight?"
Servants were busy coming in and out, loading goods onto the carriage. Not far away, a lady was waiting anxiously.
"Eminem, whoever stops me will be killed."
As Su Xiao spoke, she jumped onto a carriage and tore off the ropes binding the goods.
Opening a larger iron box, all kinds of jewelry and gold ornaments came into Su Xiao's eyes. He pushed the iron box directly out of the carriage, and the jewelry scattered everywhere with a crash.
This scene stunned the surrounding servants, and the lady was obviously stunned for a moment, ready to laugh in anger.
"Kill them, move faster, they will be delayed for too long..."
Before the noble lady finished speaking, Eminem grabbed her head and turned it backwards. For a saint, this was not fatal.
Click~
The lady's body straightened up, and the next moment she grabbed Eminem's arm.
"Hey~"
The lady screamed strangely and turned around.
Bang, bang, bang...
After being beaten by the violent wind and rain, the lady lay motionless in the pit. Amu patched it up with a war hammer, and the lady was completely cold.
Su Xiao's purpose is to either not make enemies, or once enemies are made, there will be no survivors. Some seemingly weak enemies will also grow up, and trouble will continue.
After rummaging through several carriages, Su Xiao found an epic bracelet called [Confused All Beings], a charm-type equipment that greatly increases the duration of the charm ability, and also increases the true charm attribute.
Su Xiao had no charm ability. As for the ability of this equipment to increase the charm attribute, Su Xiao simply ignored it. If it couldn't be worn, it would be meaningless to increase the charm attribute.
In addition to [Deluded Beings], Su Xiao also found 12 soul crystals (medium) and 5 soul crystals (large). Apart from these, there was no other gain.
Su Xiao walked through the stone road in the courtyard and entered a three-story building. This is the usual residence of Saint King Alexander.
There was no one in the small building. Su Xiao asked Baha to search the first and second floors. As for Eminem, he could just watch.
Su Xiao went straight to the third floor of the small building and searched all the rooms. After ten minutes, he determined that there was nothing of value here.
As soon as Su Xiao walked down the stairs, she saw Baha flying towards her.
"I found something good."
Baha grabbed a crimson scroll and placed it on Su Xiao's shoulder. Su Xiao's eyes lit up as soon as he took the scroll.

…
Seeing the attributes of [Blood Trial], Su Xiao immediately thought of using this thing to improve the sword master.
If you do nothing after using this thing, the improvement in your sword skills will be minimal, but if you are fighting a strong enemy... no, this is not feasible.
In Su Xiao's view, in a one-on-one situation with a strong person, using this thing is seeking death, but if you face a large number of enemies, this thing is very valuable. After all, it is an auxiliary scroll. How much it can be improved depends on
Depends on usage.
This is an unexpected gain, and Su Xiao has determined that the 'space-time hub device' is not in Alexander's hands, that is, it is not in the Serra Empire. The only remaining places are the Abyss and the Northern Alliance.
