Spellcasting Heavens

In the continent of Faerûn, which is filled with all kinds of robbers, gangsters, thieves, monsters, evil gods, dragons, demons and devils, death is never something worth making a fuss about.

Especially in a place like Beggar's Nest, which is full of poverty, chaos and crime, the death of two gang leaders is simply a normal thing.

The guards responsible for maintaining order didn't even bother to ask, allowing the gang to dispose of the bodies on their own, as long as they didn't make too much noise.

As a result, the poor orc warrior's head was chopped off and sent to the city hall in exchange for a bounty of three hundred gold coins.

As for the other unlucky guy and the remaining parts of the body, they were thrown directly into the sewer to feed the rats.

Sitting in the cleaned house, Zhang Cheng stared expressionlessly at the beggars, thieves, and thugs standing nervously in front of him. After a full minute, he asked: Tell me, how much money can these people turn in every day? How much?

It depends on the market! Especially for pickpockets, if you are lucky, you can steal hundreds of gold coins, but if you are unlucky, you won't even get a single gold coin. But in general, you can still get three to four hundred gold coins every month. He claimed. Jesse's tiefling rushed to give the answer.

People who don't know may think that a thirteen-year-old kid knows nothing about running a gang.

But having seen the scene of devouring souls with her own eyes, she knew very well that inside this seemingly thin body was not the soul of a boy at all, but a monster with power that she could not imagine.

Three to four hundred gold coins a month? Too little! Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously.

Ben...Benny! Three or four hundred gold coins is the limit of what we can do! If there are any more, we will probably starve to death. A fifteen or sixteen year old boy finally couldn't help but beg. road.

You don't need to ask to know that he knew the original boy, so he mustered up the courage to try to bargain. If it were the former orc warrior, he wouldn't even dare to raise his head.

Shut up! Boss, do you have the right to interrupt what you are saying? If you don't accept it, I don't mind giving you an impressive lesson. Without saying anything, Jesse picked up the whip and drew a bloody mark on the other party's body.

Ah! The boy couldn't help but let out a scream, his whole body was shaking violently, and he didn't know whether it was pain or fear.

Just when the tiefling was about to whip him for the second time, Zhang Cheng suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, That's enough! Stealing, begging, and collecting protection fees are all too low-level. No matter how much you increase the whipping, you won't be able to make much money. .We have to change our way of thinking,

Break out of the traditional gangster realm.

What do you mean... Jesse's eyes lit up and he probed cautiously.

Use the gold coins in stock to purchase some materials. I can teach you how to prepare several potions and then sell them to adventurers, mercenaries and pirates. Zhang Cheng pursed his lips and revealed a meaningful smile.

As a master alchemist, he holds thousands of formulas in his mind, most of which require the power of alchemy stones and magic, but there are always a few low-level potions that can be produced without complex spellcasting. .

What's more, strictly speaking, the continent of Faerûn has quite abundant magical energy and has many special materials that can be utilized.

Understood! Please give me a list and I will personally purchase it. Jesse agreed directly without any nonsense, without even asking why.

Similarly, the boy who was whipped for talking too much secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the payment ratio would not be increased.

Living in a place like Beggars Nest is never easy.

As for what life is precious and life is priceless, it is a complete joke.

Any gang leader can easily decide a person's life or death in his own territory.

This is why the residents of Beggar's Nest would rather succumb to the gangs than listen to the nonsense of the guards and temple paladins who claim to be just and kind.

The reason is simple. Guards and temple paladins are not encountered every day, but gang members are rooted here and can be seen almost every day.

If anyone dares to call the guards and paladins to seek justice for the sake of temporary pleasure, then after these guys leave, the rest of the gang members will go out collectively and kidnap the informer's family.

Men would cut off their tongues, gouge out their eyes, and throw them into the sewers to be eaten by rats to death;

Women are even worse. Not only will they be raped, but they will also be sold into special service places. They will not be able to find relief until they become old and lose their lust, or they cannot bear the humiliation and commit suicide.

Life is so cheap here, and most people are destined to suffer from the moment they are born.

Feeling the aura of despair emanating from the entire beggar's nest, Zhang Cheng immediately narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself: Countless numb souls! Struggling souls! This is simply my most ideal testing ground! Now, let me see Let’s see what the difference is between gods and titans…”

The words just fell!

He went directly back to his room on the second floor, closed the door, took a quill, and began to write on the parchment one after another the names of materials that even the most knowledgeable mage probably didn't know the use of.

Jesse was waving his whip downstairs, shouting threats and intimidating the thieves, beggars and thugs who were summoned, warning everyone not to have evil intentions.

Unfortunately, greed and desire will always make people lose their reason and calmness.

…

After the group was disbanded, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties quickly sneaked through the dirty alleys and came to the dilapidated house at the other end of the Beggar's Nest.

As soon as he entered, the one-eyed man sitting on the chair immediately asked: How is it! Have you found out everything? Is Okocha dead? Who killed him? Who controls the territory in the northwest corner now?

Boss Angus, let me find out clearly. It was Benny who killed Okocha, and the devil Jesse is helping him take over the territory. The young man gave the answer quickly.

Benny? That little pickpocket! How is this possible! The one-eyed man called Angus stood up suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

I also think there is a problem! But since Okocha is dead, we can take this opportunity to cooperate inside and outside and launch a surprise attack. As long as Benny dies, according to the character of the devil Jesse, he will definitely choose to surrender instead of resisting. . The young man suggested with excitement.

Raid? Sounds like a good choice. When do you think the time is right? Angus's only intact eye flashed with the burning fire of ambition.

Tonight is the best opportunity! Don't forget, Benny is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he is a pickpocket. Most people don't think he can be a good gang leader. You just need to do something. With the money, I can collect some people and let them stay at home honestly at night.

Okay! Here are two hundred gold coins. You can use it to do some activities. After tonight, I will become the largest gang boss in the entire Beggar's Nest.
