Chapter 111: Charlotte's Surrender and the Gray Region Candle Snake!

Kate leaped up again and slashed at the woman, but this time Gonzalez did not attack.

The eyes of the goddess turned into dazzling silver, and she suddenly let out a sharp roar at Kate.

An invisible soul shock blasted towards him!
Kate let out a scream and fell from mid-air.

He was bleeding from all seven orifices and waving his sword around wildly, but he didn't know where the enemy was.

A ball of silver flame popped out from the woman's hand and landed on Kate, turning this heavenly-level warrior into a pile of ashes.

"Uncle Kate!"

Charlotte let out a cry of grief. She didn't expect this woman to be so terrifying that she killed Kate at first sight.

"Catch him alive." The woman pointed at Charlotte.

Saints from all directions came flooding in.

Charlotte was horrified to find that these believers were extremely strong, not ordinary people at all, and were not afraid of pain or death.

Some believers didn't even utter a sound until they were chopped into pieces.

This made her feel cold all over.

The battle didn't last long before it was over.

Charlotte and Vega were captured, more than half of William's soldiers were killed, and the rest were captured.

The woman looked down at Charlotte and said coldly:
"I'll give you one last chance, surrender, or die."

Charlotte struggled, finally threw away her staff, and said dejectedly:

"Let my sister go, and I'll promise you."

"No, the holy body will be of great use to me." The woman shook her head.

“I’m more useful to you.

At my call, all of William's people will become your followers.

Then it won’t be long before the light of dawn spreads to every inch of land.”

The woman stared at her for a long time and nodded:
“I can leave her alone, but it depends on your performance.

Remember, the growth rate of the Holy People must satisfy me, otherwise you know the consequences. "

"As you wish."

Charlotte lowered her head and two lines of tears rolled down her face.

At night, Bosana knelt behind the goddess, her head almost touching the ground, and said:
“Lord God’s Messenger, why don’t you convert Charlotte into a saint as well?

This way, she will be completely obedient to you."

"Too pure faith will lead to the disappearance of wisdom. I need a sober person to lead the holy people."

"As you command, Lord Messenger of God."

The city of Weina is located in the eastern part of Lennon Territory. It is a medium-sized city, about 100 kilometers away from Lentini.

Raven and Lanster were walking around the city.

The two men came to buy food and weapons.

Unfortunately, they searched all over the city but found nothing.

Because of the war, food has become a strategic material.

Those grain stores were basically requisitioned by the Grand Duke, and the remaining grain was sold out, leaving almost no surplus grain.

As for the armor, it was also sold out and the waiting time for reservation is two months later.

"Raven, what should we do?" Lanster said helplessly.

Raven thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I have no choice but to try the Gray Region."

"Gray Domain? What is that?"

"An underground organization."

"The name doesn't sound like a serious organization."

“It’s really not decent.

This is an alliance of organizations between black and white, consisting of hundreds of small organizations.

They are spread all over Qinglan, running a huge and secretive underground industry, and doing almost everything.

Such as resource trading, slave trade, murder and robbery, information espionage, and even waging war.

You can say that as long as you have money, you can get everything from them.”

"so smart?"

Lanster was surprised.

"Will the major countries tolerate the existence of such an organization?"

You know, such huge and secretive forces are extremely feared by the rulers and are often the main targets of attack.

“Of course not, but they can’t help it.

The Gray Domain is very strong, so strong that they dare not act rashly, because its ruling family includes a giant of Apocalypse."

"The Giant of Apocalypse!" Lanster gasped.

This makes sense.

Dante's entire country had only one Apocalypse.

"But where can we find the Gray Region?"

"I have a solution."

Raven brought Lanster to the Mercenary Alliance’s headquarters.

He gave the staff a gold coin and soon got the information he wanted. As professionals, these people were well-informed.

This is a lively bar, chaotic and noisy, with an intoxicating atmosphere everywhere.

Raven and Lanster walked down the bar stairs to the basement.

The place was empty except for an old round table with a young girl sitting behind it.

The youthful aura in her is obvious.

Seeing someone coming, the girl waved her hand and said lightly:
"This is a private space, please leave if you have nothing to do."

Raven stared at her and smiled, "I want to experience the dark style."

The girl's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth curved up:

"That's a bit dangerous, especially since you two are still rookies."

"Young meat is always better than old meat."

Raven smiled, pulling out a gold coin and throwing it to her.

"Give me some instructions. I want to buy food and armor."

The girl blew on the gold coin.

"You can go straight to Candle Snake. They have the best reputation."

Raven threw another gold coin to her: "This is my first time here, please take me there."

"You're very good at being a human being," the girl chuckled, pulling out two masks and throwing them to Raven, "Put them on."

The girl came to a wall, touched it, and pressed it with her hand.

The wall split apart, revealing a tunnel.

"Come with your sister, two young girls, and enjoy the gray world."

The door closed behind them and the three of them walked down the tunnel.

Soon, an underground hall appeared ahead.

The dazzling fuel lamps illuminated the hall as bright as day.

The hall was divided into more than a dozen areas, each with a room where a mysterious man in a gray robe sat.

Without exception, they all wore half-face masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly, and they could only be distinguished by the signs on the tables.

Many people wearing masks like himself were entering and leaving the room, and occasionally someone would look up at Raven.

The girl brought Raven to a gray-robed man.

"Candle Snake, here comes the business."

The gray-robed man looked up at Raven and Lanster and laughed in a low voice:

“Tell me what you want.”

"I want to buy some armor and food."

"How much do you want?"

"I want to hear the quote first."

“Hey, as for armor, it depends on the level.

A set of elite armor costs fifty gold coins, a set of heritage-level armor costs two hundred gold coins, and a set of glory-level armor costs double that.

As for food, two silver coins per pound."

"Two silver coins!" Raven shouted, "Are you robbing?"

"You can buy it outside." said the man in gray robe happily.

Raven slammed his fist on the table, staring at the old man with sharp eyes, and then -

smile apologetically.

"Can it be cheaper? I bought a lot, so give me a discount."

"Sorry, I can't!"

The gray-robed man waved his hand and smiled even more sinisterly.

"Oops, I forgot to mention that there is a 5% handling fee for every kilogram of grain."

Fuck you, you old jerk! Raven was furious, but he suppressed his anger:

"It's a pity that you are not a robber."

"Hey, let me tell you straight, there's no food out there right now. If it weren't for Linda's sake, I wouldn't sell it."

Raven suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, I agree."

"You're smart, how much do you want?"

"Sixty thousand pounds."

Raven calculated that there were three to four thousand refugees from Lentini. Assuming there were four thousand, and each person only ate half a pound of food a day, the daily consumption would be two thousand pounds.

Six kilograms is only enough for these people to eat for one month.

If I cut my food intake by half, I can only eat this for two months at most, which is the bottom line.

"Sixty thousand jin, plus the handling fee, a total of 12600 gold coins."

hiss!
Raven's heart ached when he heard this number!

He wanted to explode, but he held it back.

"Hmph, let's talk about armor. I want thirty sets of elite armor."

The gray-robed man looked him up and down. "Tsk, tsk, it seems you have a lot of soldiers under your command. I guess you should be a viscount, right?"
