Book of Gods and Demons

October twenty six, afternoon.

Lan Mujin led the way, perhaps because of the strange mentality between the twin brothers?

In short, Joe went out smoothly with the orchid flower that hadnt returned overnight.

An abandoned pier on the southern outskirts of Hyderabad, next to the Lanin River.

The dilapidated warehouses are huge in scale, with iron tracks criss-crossed and covered with rust. The trestle bridges extend into the Lanyin River. The longest trestle bridge is half a mile long. , Enough to accommodate Level 1 battleship docking.

From the scale, we can see that this pier used to be booming.

The prosperity of the past has long gone with the wind and rain, and now this abandoned wharf, which is several miles away, has become a camp for the Portusse.

The core area of the wharf, hundreds of large and small warehouses, some windows are sealed by wooden boards, and some windows are floating with multi-colored curtains. Large groups of unclothed children are like stray rats, screaming with weird noises, running around the camp, rushing in and out of windows.

The camp is full of various and weird utensils, or simply rubbish.

There are broken marble statues, there are plaster statues without heads, there are various tables and chairs with arms and legs, bed cabinets, more bottles and cans, I dont know what it is. Just piled up in the open space between the warehouses.

Among these mess of’trash’, a few pieces of coarse cloth can enclose a small space that blocks the line of sight.

One by one Portusse men with red cheeks came in and out of these small spaces, and womens sharp, exaggerated calls came out of these small spaces, coming far, far away _

From time to time, there are scurrying children sneaking up near these small spaces, raising the coarse cloth curtains and peeking in…

Far away, there will be several faces The ferocious Old Lady yelled a few words, but no one really came to stop these children.

Joe stood on the roof of a warehouse in the distance, concealing his figure with a pile of broken bricks, and squinted his eyes to look out at the chaotic, messy, and smoky Portusse camp.

MiddleLand The countries of the mainland are entangled in grievances with each other, countries are friends with each other, countries are enemies with each other, and between ethnic groups and ethnic groups, there are also various “historical grudges” with a long history. Love and hate entangled.

There is only one ethnic group that has been despised and hostile by all the countries and ethnic groups on the MiddleLand continent.

The Portusians…

No one is friends with them in the entire MiddleLand. They are like foreign objects emitting a rotten smell from the sewer, and everyone is afraid of them.

No territory, no history, no culture, no faith.

No one knows how many people they have, no one cares how they survive.

They are like duckweeds, floating around, wind and rain drifting, humble but stubbornly alive… At all costs, they live humble but repulsive.

Some people say-“The Portusians are a plague. As long as there is one Bose in any place, 3-5 years later, there will be thousands of Portuses.”

Some people say-“Portusians are born sinners, stealing, robbery, blackmail, fornication, they have committed all the sins that humans can imagine.”

Some people say-“Portusians are natural disasters. Wherever they appear, the prices of nearby housing prices and other fixed assets will continue to fall at a rate of more than 10% per year. ‘.

Joe looked at the chaotic camp.

Lan Kikyo is beside him, whispering what he has seen and heard from yesterday to now.

After King Stuart IX blackmailed a large sum of money from Joe, he took people out of Hyderabad city as quickly as possible. He took out a gold mark from his small vault and asked his confidant to purchase a large amount of cheap wine and meat, which he distributed to his tribal people.

There are close to 30,000 Potuses in this campsite.

After receiving the meat and wine distributed by King Stuart IX, 99% of the Portusians were drunk, and many of them are still not sober.

In the early hours of today, Stuart once brought dozens of confidants and wanted to leave the camp secretly, but was stopped by the four Elders and their confidants who had been sober in the camp. .

Joe stared wide-eyed: “This guy, he wants to abscond with money?”

Lan Kikyo showed a subtle smile, and he nodded hard: “Joe, you give His two travelers cheques were enough for him to go anywhere on the mainland to be a happy rich man and live a life in comfort.”

Qiao pursed his lips: “He failed to make… that Four Elders……”

Lan Platycodon shook the head: “Its not the problem of the four Elders now. Uh, there are more than a dozen large and small Potusa tribes in the suburbs of Hyderabad. ……”

Lan Kikyo showed a very strange smile.

Qiao was nodded looking thoughtful and touched the chin looked towards a well-preserved three-story building at the core of the camp.

This three-story building was once the office of the management committee of this dock area. It was carefully constructed with a lot of financial and material resources. The building body is very strong and the materials used for interior decoration Also very solid.

After being abandoned for many years, the ceiling, wallpaper, and floor in the small building have remained 70-80% new. The clansman of King Stuart IX sorted out this place and filled it with a large amount of barely usable discarded furniture from various places, and the small building had 60-70% of its heyday.

In the reception hall on the first floor, King Stuart IX, who claims to be’King Your Majesty’, is looking gloomy face, looking at a group of’honourable guests’ sitting next to him.

Dozens of people wore strange robes of various colors, and their heads were made of messy materials such as copper, iron, tin, and wood. The crowns were extremely rough in appearance, or hideous, or wretched, or shabby. Evil, or treacherous, in short, there was not a man and woman who looked like a good person, staring at Stuart IX with red eyes.

Among these people, there are two emperors, three kings, seven or eight dukes, and the others have noble titles. The worst one also claims to be Earl…Well, the more amazing thing is , There are two Archbishops, one man and one woman!

The two Archbishops were also the two most willing to spend on clothing and accessories among the people present.

The man, he really wore a patched, authentic bishop gown of the Golden Oak Church, and even on his chest, he also hung a palm-size, using pure Golden oak icon badge made of gold.

And that woman, she also wore a robe of the great cultivator woman of the silver laurel church, and a silver laurel crown made of pure silver on her head.

Everyone stared at Stuart IX with piercing eyes. They…have been in this living room, enthusiastically’discussing’ for several hours. The stingy King Stuart IX didn’t even send a glass of water. Everyone had dry mouths and red cheeks.

With a heavy cough, a tall and sturdy man who was wearing a big red expensive patriarch robe with a gold belt tied around his waist, stomped his feet heavily: “The tall and sturdy man who claimed to be the emperor Your Majesty” Stuart, speaking of it, I am your cousin… Your father owes me the money. As his heir, you should pay me back.”

“Back then, your father wore a lion tail He crossed the Lawrence mountain range and migrated from the middle of MiddleLand to the Durham Empire. He was too poor at that time. If I hadn’t loaned him 200,000 gold marks, he and the lion tail would have starved to death halfway.”

“30 years, 30 years!” The burly emperor Your Majesty threw a snot on the ground: “According to the Borrowing rules of our Portusese, the interest for a year is at least 20 points. “

“We are relatives, so we are not good at calculating compound interest. The interest of 40,000 gold marks a year, 30 years is 1.2 million, plus 200,000 principal, you give me 100 400,000 gold marks!”

The burly emperor Your Majesty looked deeply at Stuart IX: “We are relatives. Don’t hurt our previous family relationship for a little money.”

Stuart IX gritted his teeth: “I have never heard of this.”

tall and sturdy man slightly smiled: “I have witnesses, my In the Lion Head Tribe, at least ten thousand people know this. Ten thousand people can be witnesses.”

Stuart IX spread his hands and sneered: “But my lion tail tribe Here, no one knows about this.”

Next to King Stuart IX, Elder, a lion-tail tribe, slowly stood up: “Stuart, this matter, Cadillac Your Majesty Thats right…you were young then, you dont remember anything, but I remember clearly.”

Beside Stuart IX, another Elder stood up suddenly with a cane. Blasted on the shoulder of this Elder: “Fart, why don’t I remember this? Our Lion Tail is indeed in debt, but the creditor is Chrysler Your Majesty of Lion Tooth.”

Two Elder suddenly became a ball.

Outside the small building, hundreds of people gathered at the front and back doors to keep the small building impenetrable. The hideous guys suddenly screamed and roared hysterically, waving the messy weapons in their hands, threatening Anyone around you.

In the chaos, Qiao, accompanied by Lan Mujin and Lan Kikyo, has sneaked into the small building and reached a higher-level directly to the third floor of the small building.

In the original archives of the Wharf Management Committee, Lan Mujin knocked out a dozen henchmen who were guarding here, Stuart IX and four Elders respectively.

Qiao pushed open a row of bookshelves in accordance with Lan Kikyo’s instructions, revealing a heavy mountain shield safe at the back.

Raplahi is empathetic, he directly said the password of the safe.

In the horrified gaze of Lan Mujin and Lan Kikyos “Like Seeing Heaven and Human”, Qiao skillfully entered the password once, opened the safe with ease, and took the two trips he had blackmailed yesterday. Get the check back.

In the safe, there are more than one hundred thousand gold marks in cash, as well as hundreds of jewels such as necklaces, rings, bracelets and so on shining with jewels… Joe unceremoniously took out a large cloth bag. Swept away these treasures, not even a broken diamond is left.

“Unexpectedly, they all look like a bunch of poor ghosts, their boss is so rich?” Joe carefully looked up and down in the safe, and found that there was indeed no secret compartment in the safe and so on, quietly, as he did when he sneaked in, and left quietly.
