Tonight, Hazlosa is unexpectedly bright... A sweltering heat emanates from the nameless alley, but no one intends to investigate. Even if someone unaware of the situation comes by, they will be persuaded not to get involved.
After all, everyone had seen Yinla and the others enter the alley, and the shout of "First Wing Pillar - Crimson Dragon - Wingspan" was enough for people outside the alley to hear.
Moreover, Yinla clearly controlled her power, and there was no sign of the surrounding walls melting... Since Yinla was being so accommodating, it would be unreasonable for the people of Hazlosa not to be accommodating.
What? You're saying Hazlosa shouldn't be allowed to kill?
Go tell that to Yinla. If you can stop Yinla, you too can become a legend.
"..."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure slowly emerged from the alley. Because the firelight behind him was too intense, the person's face appeared completely black.
However, there was no need to doubt his identity anymore... The crimson wings that quickly retracted behind him, and the scattered embers in the air, were enough to make anyone no longer doubt his identity.
"She's out. It looks like she's carrying something in her hand."
A passerby muttered...
Amidst the whispers of everyone, Yinla threw the head he was carrying to the ground. It belonged to the leader of those men... Everyone took a few steps back, wondering what he meant.
"you……"
Yin La was about to ask something, but before he could utter a sound...
"The Black Shackles Pirates".
A woman's voice interrupted his question. As Yinla looked over, everyone made way, revealing a Gorgon with her arms crossed, speaking casually: "The people you killed were from the Black Shackles Pirate Crew."
Having received the answer, Yinla sized up the Gorgon, who was dressed in typical pirate attire... even though she had recently wiped out all the Gorgons in the area controlled by the monsters.
However, Illa didn't need to harbor any ill will towards the Gorgon in front of her.
"Black shackles..."
Yinla gently raised his head and repeated, then looked at the others around him who had nothing to do with the Gorgon, and said, "Is she right?"
The other pirates carefully examined the head on the ground, then nodded and responded, "Hmm, it seems to be the helmsman and other sailors of the Black Shackles Pirate Crew. I recognize them."
Thank you.
Yinla responded, gently kicking the head on the ground into the alley behind her, sending it to reunite with its owner... In any case, it would be burned to ashes in no time.
Where are the Black Shackles Pirates...?
Yinla asked this question.
"On the ship?"
The other pirates responded.
"I mean...where's the ship?"
Regarding Illa's question, a Lothar soldier in military uniform recalled for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Illa... should be not far from your ship. His flag is a black iron chain wrapped around a skull, which is easy to recognize."
As he spoke, the Lothar soldier searched his person and found a piece of parchment. He tossed it to Inra, who had already spread her wings, and said, "This is their wanted poster, with a portrait on it! Lady Inra... you probably don't need the bounty, do you?"
At that moment, Yinla had already spread her wings and taken flight, her scarlet voice casting a huge shadow in the moonlight...
Yinla's voice also arrived late—
"The bounty? Here you go. If you collect the bounty, give twenty percent to that Gorgon."
"..."
"Hoo... Hahaha! Hahahahahaha!"
The Lothar soldier couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was sure he would receive the bounty, after all, it was money that Illa had promised him... No one dared to embezzle it. He laughed wildly, maniacally, until tears streamed down his face.
"Hahahaha! That's a lot of money! That's a huge bounty!"
!
The laughing soldier bent over with laughter, tears streaming down his face. He knelt down, looking towards the distant sky, sobbing between laughter and tears, "My wife and children... are saved."
The Gorgon captain glanced calmly at the Lothar soldier who remained unapproached, and asked softly, "What happened to your family? Are they sick? Or seriously injured?"
In response to her question, the Lothar soldier raised his head, calmed himself slightly, and replied in a hoarse voice, "He has contracted a serious illness. The alchemist said that it requires very expensive medicine to cure him... I will give you your share of the money after I receive my reward."
"..."
The Gorgon captain sized him up, noticing the bloodshot eyes. After confirming the authenticity, she said, "You don't need to give me my share. Keep it for yourself. Illa won't have any objections. I promise... I wish your family a speedy recovery."
"...Thank you. If you commit a crime in the future, I promise I won't arrest you."
I don't know how to thank the soldiers, so this is all I can say...
Perhaps this is the gratitude of an ordinary person. He cannot promise anything because he knows he cannot do it... Moreover, he really needs this money to help his family member recover after his illness is cured.
So the Gorgon captain said nothing and turned to leave.
"..."
"Captain, that's a huge sum of money..."
The Gorgon scoffed at the man beside her who was speaking to her, saying, "So, you're the sailor and I'm the captain... Fool! Don't just focus on the money! Give Illa a proper thank you!"
The man paused, then exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?" He hesitated before continuing to follow, asking, "But, when you kindly revealed the other person's identity, Captain, Yinla didn't trust you, right...? What if Black Shackles retaliates against us?"
The Gorgon looked at him like he was an idiot... Did she really think that if she just casually mentioned the name of a pirate fleet, Yinla would actually go and wipe them out?
"The Black Shackles Pirate Crew? Will they still exist tomorrow?"
As she spoke, the Gorgon quickened her pace. Looking at her companion, who had begun jogging to catch up, and amidst their puzzled gazes, she commanded, "Move fast! Devour the assets controlled by the Black Shackles as quickly as possible!"
Originally, Hazlosa was a cake worth having, but normally... this cake has already been divided up, and getting a piece of it requires a fight and intense clashes.
But things will soon be different...
"Faster! Hazlossa's interests have become entrenched! Starting tonight..."
"It's time to start shuffling the deck!"
