Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 52: Surviving the catastrophe and arriving safely in Shadowmoon City

It is safe here. Let's rest in the dense forest first. Grandpa fought a bloody battle all night yesterday and hasn't slept well yet. He looks much more haggard.

"Grandpa, they have retreated and will definitely not continue searching. You should get some sleep first and we will continue our journey at night to avoid unnecessary fighting."

The old man was confused and thought that the mission had failed. Did the employer die? He felt so sad...

Giving Tan Aili's letter to grandpa connected the dots. He persuaded the lord of Yinpan Town to escort her, and they would take the post road. In this way, the mission was actually completed, and she could successfully enter the Mercenary Association.

"Okay, grandpa, take a nap. Tan Aili is not bad, she is fierce and definitely not ugly. If you like her, grandpa has no objection. She is a powerful character, well-educated, and definitely not a girl from an ordinary family..."

"Grandpa, let's not talk about this. There are many suspicious points about her. We can't get involved in it. If we get the bounty, we won't have to do missions all day long. We can find a place to hide and practice martial arts! We have seized the basic secrets. It turns out that there are breathing methods for training arm strength..."

"Haha, we will have so many gold coins in the future, why do we need to do any missions? We will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, living in a comfortable city. Even practicing will be unnecessary. We are rich men, little brat, there is no need for us to fight and kill."

After surviving the catastrophe, the two of them wanted to live an ordinary life, no longer lacking gold coins in this life, so they didn't need to touch any martial arts. Tan Aili was too dangerous, and she almost lost her life this time. Only by staying away from her can they stay safe...

Shadowmoon City

This ancient and mysterious city, after thousands of years of development, is now an ancient city of unparalleled culture.

The city's narrow and winding streets are lined with tall buildings, with walls decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures. The canal runs through the entire city, with the buildings and lights on the shore reflected on the water, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

At night, the streets and canals of Shadowmoon City are illuminated by lights, presenting a prosperous scene. People dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing jewelry shuttle through the streets and alleys. Music and singing come from taverns and theaters, making people intoxicated.

In the square in the city center, people gathered to enjoy the performances of street performers. Acrobats tumbled in the air, dancers danced on the stage, and the audience burst into applause and cheers from time to time.

Shadowmoon City is also reflected in its architecture and art. The churches and palaces have unique architectural styles and are decorated with gorgeous murals and sculptures. Artists have created many outstanding works here, as well as religious culture and artistic heritage.

In short, a luxurious and romantic city must have developed commerce. Its beauty and unique culture attract countless adventurers and merchants to come and visit and explore.

The poetic name of the city is still in use today. The eight branches of the Church of Light are located here. Therefore, the world's largest cathedral took two hundred years to complete, using countless gold coins and manpower. Its luxury is no less than the paradise imagined by believers.

It took four days to reach Shadowmoon City via the post road. The journey was very safe and no one dared to attack the Buick family's heavy cavalry regiment.

Lord Lin Xi was very proud of himself. This time he brought all the transport vehicles with him. He could earn 30,000 gold coins by traveling around. When he returned, he would load these vehicles with goods and it would not cause any delay.

The previous lord went bankrupt due to poor management, so there is nothing in the lord's mansion, and all the valuables have been sold. For a noble like me, life is too hard, this is undoubtedly the rhythm of exile.

But he was lucky. He saved the civilian Tan Aili as soon as he took office and earned gold coins easily, which indicated that Yinpan Town was his blessed land.

The escort team entered the Mercenary Association without any danger. Even the two civilians who exchanged their belief in certain death for fifty gold coins were unharmed and were taken away by the staff to rest. Miss Tan Aili would give out rewards later, so the two civilians made a small fortune.

Tan Aili took out a check and handed it respectfully to Lord Lin Xi: "My dear Lord, I am very grateful for your kindness. This is a reward of 30,000 gold coins. Please accept it. Lord, please lead these knights to stay in the water hotel and enjoy a few days. I will pay all the expenses and reward your thirty brave warriors."

Lin Xi had seen the world and knew what Shadow Moon City was like. The Floating Hotel had been very famous three hundred years ago. The wealthy people in novels could only be considered country bumpkins if they had never stayed in a Floating Hotel.

Although he had no chance to come to the northwest, he would definitely try to imitate the rich people in the novels and experience roulette, floating restaurants, bunny girls, and jewelry auctions...

"Hahaha, girl, you are on the right track. It seems that you are quite wealthy. You are trying to trick me into thinking I am a commoner, right? Am I asking too little?" He said, putting the check in his pocket...

Tan Aili took out her identity card and showed it to the lord: "Sir, I don't even have a surname. I'm just a lowly singing and dancing prostitute. Alas, I have spent money and money to survive, but people should know how to repay kindness. Thirty knights, fully armed, escorted me all the way in the hot summer. This great favor must be repaid. Letting them stay in the water hotel for a few days is also a thoughtful gesture."

"Well, that's a good point. It would be disrespectful to refuse it."

"The lord is happily taking the knights to the hotel first. I still have some things to take care of at the Mercenary Association. After I'm done I'll go to visit the lord..."

After Lord Lin Xi took his men away, Tan Aili and Feng Kaxi reported the situation separately.

What Tan Aili discussed with the top management was to attack the Shi Le family's facilities in various places. This operation was to be carried out jointly by the masters of the two major mercenary branches, Shadow Moon and Delburg. All business channels must belong to Tan Aili.

Von Cassi handed in the mercenary log and attached the employer's comments. Dickens, Malone and Dusen were confirmed killed in this battle.

Nick and Kashin's lives and deaths are uncertain, but their combat performances were unrivaled and received the highest praise, so the mission was deemed accomplished and the Mercenary Association's reputation was successfully restored, so we can breathe a sigh of relief.

Feng Kaxi had his meal at the Mercenary Association and then checked into an internal hotel. He was not allowed to show up in public for the time being.

At ten o'clock that night, all the Shi Le family's business strongholds in the city were attacked.

Although the Shi Le family was prepared, they did not expect such a fierce attack. All the warriors were killed and the unarmed employees were controlled by the association.

At this time, many of Shi Le's manors were massacred and all the owners were killed.

Shile Castle had long been under secret surveillance, so it was quickly taken over by the Mercenary Association, and all the family members were gathered in the hall...

Stid Schiller was pale at the moment, feeling that his luck had come to an end, but he was unwilling to accept it, wondering why it had come to this...

Tan Aili walked in, and Steed felt dizzy and almost fainted. He struggled and asked, "Why is it you?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm not dead! Just ask one question, where is my mother?"

Stide lowered his head in shame: "Five days ago, she...she died of a sudden serious illness."

"Haha! My mother has loved you all her life, and you have used me and devoted my entire youth to me. You have only said sweet words to me from beginning to end, and you have never treated us as human beings at all. And in the end you want to kill us all. Well, the Shi Le family must be wiped out, you old beast, go away!"

At a command, the knights of the mercenary association took all the people away, beheaded them in the open space behind the castle, and then buried them on the spot.

The City Hall and the Mercenary Association reached a consensus that Tan Aili would inherit the family business. These things were indeed negotiated by the Mercenary Association. Tan Aili would inherit all the Shi Le family's property.

All officials in the city hall will be given 200,000 gold coins, but the prerequisite is that they must quickly settle the family business and not delay paying taxes...

The Mercenary Association received 500 million gold coins, the Shadowmoon City Mercenary Association guaranteed its safety for life, and recruited a group of scholars to manage the industry.

Five hundred million gold coins are just a drop in the bucket. The Shi Le family's business channels are the real wealth, which were all robbed by Steed from other families.

The big families in the city were either wiped out or forced to flee far away. The powerless Steed was good at conspiracy and intrigue. He transformed from a salt merchant into a super-rich man. It was a dark epic that was too painful to look back on.
