The immortal body is called Teevat
Chapter 99: Gray River of Fontaine
Wu Cheng has already planned what to do next in this business with a 100% profit margin, but Wu Cheng believes that the most important thing first is to get all the Mora he can get.
Because of Mora, he said to Myles politely: "Mr. Myles, I'm new to Fontaine and I don't know where to exchange the bounty for these people. If it's not too much trouble, could you please take me there?"
Wu Cheng's tone was quite sincere when he spoke, without a trace of hypocrisy. Because what he said was the truth, how could it be false? But he really didn't know where the exchange place that Miles mentioned was?
Wu Cheng is not a person with poor sense of direction. As long as Miles takes him through a specific route, he will be able to remember the route clearly. This can be regarded as Wu Cheng's advantage over others.
Miles couldn't help but feel more favorable towards the polite Wu Cheng as he looked at him. Moreover, as a swordsman, he could sense that Wu Cheng's murderous intent and strength were not simple.
For the above reasons, Miles naturally said enthusiastically: "Of course, this young and polite gentleman, the purpose of our Rose Thorn Society is to help everyone in need."
"And you have helped our Thorn Rose Association to eradicate these scum who are involved in Les trafficking. We should guide you and provide you with some help within our capacity."
After having a pleasant conversation with Wu Cheng, Miles turned around and looked at the volunteers who came to help the Rose Thorn Society. Those volunteers who came to help the Rose Thorn Society were still looking at Wu Cheng's nervous and frightened expression. After all, how could a guy who had killed so many people not be afraid?
Myles tried to calm them down and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not worry about what this young gentleman will do to you. It turns out that this is just a misunderstanding."
Then someone in the crowd questioned: "Mr. Myles! He just killed more than a dozen people. The murderous aura on his body was almost materialized. Can you be sure that he..."
Myles could naturally understand what he meant. Wasn't it that he was still afraid of Wu Cheng who had just exuded murderous aura? Then he could just explain it clearly.
So Myles interrupted him before he finished speaking and explained: "This young gentleman is not a trafficker of the Les Organization, so there is no need for everyone to be so nervous."
"Relax, it was just a small misunderstanding, and now the misunderstanding has been resolved. Put down your weapons. After all, if you are not an enemy, why do you still need to draw swords against each other?"
It was obvious that Myles had a lot of say in their group. After hearing Myles' endorsement of Wu Cheng, everyone looked at Wu Cheng with a less fearful and dreadful look, and everyone's hands that were tightly gripping their weapons gradually loosened until they put down their guard and put away their weapons.
Then, after giving them a few more instructions, Myles said that there was nothing else to do now and that those who had things to do should go back first.
After that, most of the volunteers dispersed and returned home to continue their work to earn a meager morra to support their families.
After all, if he didn't work, where would Mora come from to support the family? And after that, only Myles and a few other scattered men were left.
The remaining men who were observed for free were dressed in the same simple manner as the volunteers just now, but they were obviously more neat and tidy, and their hands were subconsciously placed next to their weapons. It was obvious at first glance that they were definitely not simple volunteers.
Then Miles politely introduced Wu Cheng, "These people are all members of our Thorn Rose Society. Young gentleman, there is no need to worry. Since you are not familiar with the specific geographical conditions of Fontaine City, please follow us."
Wu Cheng then readily agreed and walked side by side with Myles, preparing to go to the place where he could collect the bounty to receive his share of Mora.
On the way to the bounty location, Miles also negotiated a lot with Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng also reported the name of Hogman, the man who threatened him before he died, and wanted to ask Miles about this guy's origins?
The guy who could make that group of scum try to threaten him to save his life before he died must not be a simple person in Fontaine. Then his bounty should be higher than these meaningless minions.
Wu Cheng was not afraid of the so-called guy behind the scenes, he just wanted to know more about his background. If he had time, he wouldn't mind killing the guy behind the scenes. After all, it was not a good habit to leave hidden dangers for himself.
Although Wu Cheng didn't think that Mr. Hogman, who was behind the Les trafficking organization, could pose any threat to him, Wu Cheng didn't like uncertain things.
Besides, he is also a scum who has committed heinous crimes, so it is better to let him go to hell as soon as possible. By the way, I can take his bounty in Fontaine Court and enrich my wallet.
Miles, who was walking next to him, heard Wu Cheng mention the name of Hogman, and Miles was also very surprised when he heard this name.
Then Myles asked how he knew the name of Mr. Hogman. Wu Cheng did not hide the need for Myles, after all, judging from Myles' reaction, he seemed to know where Mr. Hogman came from.
But Wu Cheng himself didn't even need to think about the fact that those people from the Les trafficking organization dared to use this name to threaten him before they died. He must have thought that this guy named Mr. Hogman in Fontaine was not a simple character.
Of course, it was only in terms of status. As for his strength, Wu Cheng still thought that Hogman and his ilk were just ants who didn't know their own strength. They were not good enough in front of him.
Then Myles introduced him to the notorious Mr. Hogman, who turned out to be a representative figure of the dark forces in Fontaine.
He was not only involved in human trafficking, but also gambling and smuggling. Most importantly, he was also involved in the Lesbian trafficking trade.
Although the Thorn Rose Society knew all these things, they did not dare to touch this giant who sold Les, because Mr. Hogman's human trade and Les trafficking were supported by the nobles, and his backing was very strong.
Not to mention that Hogman himself is well-connected in both the black and white worlds, and he even has his people in the Fontaine Guard, so it is difficult for the people in the Fontaine Court to control his handle. As a result, although Fontaine advocates justice and law, there are still many dirty and despicable scums like Hogman hidden behind it.
As for how many connections he has in the Fontaine Guard, or how many backers he has in the official power of Fontaine, it is unknown. Perhaps only Mr. Hogman himself knows.
After introducing the notorious Mr. Hogman, Myles kindly reminded Wu Cheng: "Don't worry, sir. The dozens of guys you killed today won't cause Hogman to start a war."
"But the total value of those goods is enough to make that Hogman guy feel a little painful, but we still have to be on guard."
"If you don't mind, after we collect the bounty, I sincerely invite you to visit our Thorn Rose Club. After all, you are a hero for dealing with those people from the Les Trafficking Organization. We in the Thorn Rose Club should not let heroes fall into the revenge of evil organizations."
"When the time comes, even Mr. Hogman won't dare to raise his hand to the Thorn Rose Club. Wait for a few days until the storm has passed. Then it won't be too late for you to leave the Thorn Rose Club."
Although Wu Cheng knew in his heart that Hogman and his ilk were just gangster bosses with a slight status in Fontaine, the problem was that in the face of absolute strength, no matter how powerful the status was, it was nothing but a mirror in the water and a flower in the moon, which would be reduced to ashes at the slightest breeze.
However, Myles's behavior did win Wu Cheng's favor. After all, who doesn't want to help more of their friends? So Wu Cheng happily nodded and agreed to Myles' invitation.
He stated that after receiving the bounty, he would follow Miles to the Thorn Rose Society to visit the current president of the Thorn Rose Society, Mr. Cares.
In fact, on the one hand, Miles was protective of the righteous hero, and on the other hand, he had his own considerations. Since Wu Cheng had just arrived, he must have no one to rely on.
It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to help him and improve his favorability, and get a strong fighter for the Thorn Rose Society. At the very least, it will definitely do no harm to make friends with him.
And Miles had also seen the battle records of those desperate criminals. Most of them had some martial arts skills and were not ordinary people. For example, the brown-haired man in the lead had 16 lives to his credit.
Miles had just observed how these people died, and many of them died with just one knife, so it can be seen that Wu Cheng's fighting power was directly overwhelming them. His strength was not simple.
Then, Myles introduced the background and origin of the Thorn Rose Society as they walked. Although Wu Cheng found it a bit boring, Myles was very eloquent and could make even such a boring introduction interesting. So it wasn't too boring.
Afterwards, Wu Cheng followed Miles, turning left and right, and finally walked out of the densely packed alleys of Fontaine and returned to the bustling main street of Fontaine.
The sun has not yet set, and there are still many people strolling in Fontaine. The pace of life in Fontaine is less lively than that in Liyue, but it is also more peaceful and beautiful. In short, each has its own merits. Liyue has more fireworks, while Fontaine has a more peaceful feeling.
Soon after, Miles brought Wu Cheng to the place where the bounty was offered and collected. After that, Wu Cheng didn't even have to do anything. Miles quickly negotiated with the official personnel and quickly collected the bounty.
After that, after the bounty was paid, Myles still began to count the number of Moras to see if there were enough, and then gave them all to Wu Cheng without a single cent less, without taking any of them himself.
Wu Cheng wanted to give some of the Mora in his arms to Myles, but Myles could not accept it anyway. He kept shaking his head and finally said to Wu Cheng: "Young gentleman, our Thorn Rose Society only helped you a small favor, so you don't have to thank us so much. After all, you think you have made a contribution to the illegal trade of percussion, don't you?"
"If I have to say, it is our Thorn Rose Association that should thank you. And you dealt with the more than ten people from the Les trafficking organization. You have also saved many families that might have been destroyed because of Les' death."
Afterwards, Wu Cheng felt embarrassed to accept the more than 100 million Moras, and he was unwilling to count the exact amount.
Anyway, just put it in your God's Eye space and use it whenever you want. You will know when it is gone. Then, seeing that the sun was about to set, Myles said to Wu Cheng, "Young gentleman, it is getting late now, so come with me to the Thorn Rose Society headquarters to meet Mr. Carres."
"If the timing is right, you might be able to catch the Thorn Rose Society's dinner time. Then we will definitely entertain you with the highest etiquette."
Wu Cheng had no objection to this. After all, Mr. Cares's appearance was not obvious in the original plot. It was only through reasoning that he could be seen as a blond man, nothing else.
Wu Cheng was also very curious about what Navia looked like now. According to the time, Navia should have been born a long time ago and should be about eight or nine years old.
Of course, there is another person named Silver who will be there to prepare various materials and tools for cooking macarons.
After another round of twists and turns, Wu Cheng, under the guidance of Miles, came from the prosperous and tidy main street of Fontaine to the crowded and complex alleys of Fontaine.
Finally, they stopped in front of an inconspicuous open sewer entrance. Myles said to Wu Cheng in a rather apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, young sir. We'll have to trouble you to condescend and walk down the ladder with us."
"But please rest assured, this entrance is cleaned every day, so please rest assured that it is absolutely clean."
Wu Chang had no objection to this, after all, Wu Cheng vaguely remembered it. The headquarters of the Thorn Rose Society in the original plot is indeed in the world under the sewer. Perhaps it has a more well-known name---Gray River.
It was a place called Grey River. Compared to the prosperity and comfort of the upper Fontaine, this place was filled with darkness and desolation.
The so-called law and order in Fontaine is extremely weak here. Almost all crimes are concentrated in this place, because the people here are either prisoners released from Melro Petersburg or homeless wanderers.
The people here have almost no expectations for the future every day. They just hope to do their job well today and earn a little more Mora to sustain their lives.
After all, a day's hard work has already consumed all their energy. How could they have any energy left to plan for the future?
Most people here are engaged in the lowest level of hard labor, earning meager wages but doing the most tiring work, but no one complains, after all, being alive is a kind of happiness. What reason and qualifications do we have to ask for better?
