Evening is Bray Foster's favorite time.

The sky was dark at this time. There was no glaring sunlight during the day, but it was not as pitch dark as at night.

The night is hazy and most comfortable.

The same is true for women.

A woman who wraps herself tightly will spoil the fun; but a woman without any clothes covering herself will be too direct and lack temptation.

It is most appropriate only when wearing tulle.

The second floor of the pub.

Several dancers danced gracefully in gauze, their graceful figures and fair and delicate skin were faintly visible, making the viewers unable to look away.

"Dennis."

Bray turned sideways to look at the young man sitting not far away and said with a smile, "The gauze clothes worn by these dancers are the products of the Lapu Textile Factory. The quality may not be as good as those of skilled weavers, but the price is cheap and the quantity is large. I believe they will sell well in the Sak Kingdom."

"Um."

Dennis is a nobleman from the Kingdom of Sark, and this time he accompanied Princess Duna to the Kingdom of Gondor.

He showed great interest in the emerging textile factories.

"I heard that..."

Dennis pursed his lips, and a slight blush appeared on his face:

"Many of these clothes are designed by Mrs. Anne, and she has tried them on herself."

"Haha..." Bray laughed when he heard this:

"good!"

"It is because of Lady Anne's promotion that the textile factory's clothes were accepted by the nobility so quickly."

"Of course, I see that what you are really interested in, Denis, is not the textile factory, but Lady Anne?"

Dennis picked up the drink in a panic:

"No, no."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Bray shook his head. "My friend, what's wrong with liking beautiful women? Even God cannot stop the union of a man and a woman."

"but……"

He frowned slightly, "Mrs. Anne is different from other women. She only chooses to meet men she likes, and doesn't care about status or position. Otherwise, with your status, Dennis, which woman can't meet you?"

"Really?" Dennis looked stunned.

It was obvious that this young man had not experienced much sex and had no idea how to get to know women.

"Don't worry."

Bray leaned forward and said, "No one dares to question your handsomeness. Perhaps Lady Anne is talking about you to others right now."

"and……"

"Women all have a common weakness, which is that they cannot resist shiny things."

He waved back, and Gary immediately stepped forward and placed a few ornaments he had recently received on the table.

Bray picked up a pearl necklace and put it in a box: "Take it. There's no reason why we can't meet. This is our first meeting, so consider it a gift to you."

Dennis took the box and was stunned when he saw the pearl necklace inside. He hesitated:

"This...seems too expensive."

Being able to accompany his country's princess on a trip to another country, Dennis is definitely a superior person in the Kingdom of Sak.

The value of a pearl necklace can be seen at a glance.

Money was of no importance to him, but accepting things from others without permission was not in keeping with his aristocratic upbringing.

"It doesn't matter."

Bray waved his hand:

"Take it. How can the friendship between us be measured by such a small string of ornaments?"

Dennis thought about it, but didn't refuse. He put the box in front of him:

"Thank you very much."

This meant that he was willing to treat the other person as a friend. Bray couldn't help but laugh and invited him to drink.

"Bree!"

Just then, a man rushed towards the second floor, yelling, "Where did you hide my Maggie?"

The man came with great momentum, but was stopped by the guards on the second floor and pressed to the ground.

"Who is this person?"

Bray frowned, looking unhappy: "How do the people below do their work!"

The good mood was completely ruined by the visitor, and Dennis also gave me an ambiguous look.

"Master."

Gary leaned over and whispered:

"It seems to be Kaili from the Ministry of Public Security, the unfavored son of a baron. As for Maggie he mentioned..."

"It should be the woman that Kun sent a few days ago."

"Oh!" Bray understood. He knew that woman was there. He waved his hand and said, "Get rid of her!"

"If he continues to make trouble, take him to the back alley and deal with him. I have something else to do here."

"Yes." Gary responded: "I will never let him disturb you."

As soon as the words came out, someone suddenly shouted.

"careful!"

“Wow…”

The window at the back suddenly broke open, and a figure rushed over at an astonishing speed, heading straight for Bray.

One step ahead of the human figure was a flash of sword light.

"when……"

The guard who had been standing behind Bray and had never spoken a word suddenly drew his sword and stopped the man.

knight!

The guard looked solemn:

"Master, be careful!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and drew his sword. A cold light flashed on the sword and a cross of sword light appeared on the spot.

Cross Slash! This is a sword technique passed down to the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Gondor, and was improved by the Knights of the Church and finally formed.

It is a knight-level sword technique that combines both offensive and defensive capabilities.

"bite……"

Taro Dao Daigo swung his sword to meet the attack.

The two men fought quickly in the small space, with flashes of swords and sabers, and the floor was shattered.

"drink!"

Daou let out a low roar, his eyes suddenly widened, and a fierce aura surged from him.

Fighting spirit!

"interesting."

Bray was surrounded by several guards. He was not moved by the fighting in front of him. Instead, he asked curiously: "How can an unpopular waste command such a master?"

"Ayu!"

"exist."

A petite woman walked out from the crowd.

The woman had an ordinary look, like a girl who had not fully developed, and the waiter's dress was even more ordinary.

"Take him."

"yes."

The woman responded and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

knight!

This plain-looking woman is actually an official knight, and is also able to inspire fighting spirit.

However, unlike Daogu, her fighting spirit is more restrained, and even more fierce and fierce when it explodes.

Like an assassin in the night.

A Yu's weapon is a dagger, and his movements are strange and changeable, with a cold light flashing. He cooperates with his companions to maintain the upper hand.

“Ding ding…”

"puff!"

With the joint efforts of the two knights, Daogu was careless and got a bloody cut on his leg by the dagger.

His expression changed drastically.

The wound wasn't big, but the strange thing was that even with a knight's strong body, he still couldn't stop the bleeding.

In the blink of an eye, the entire trouser leg was stained with blood.

As the blood in his body was lost, his strength was weakened, and it became increasingly difficult to resist.

"Leave him alive."

Bray sneered:

"If a knight could carry out the assassination, there might be someone behind it. We need to interrogate him carefully after we capture him."

"yes."

Ayu should be.

His hands kept moving while he answered, and it was obvious that he still had some strength left.

"ah!"

Daou roared wildly, and his sword suddenly changed from its initial defensive posture to a wide swing, as if he was determined to fight to the death with the two men.

"Don't panic."

Ah Yu's expression was calm, and she stared at Daogu intently:

"He wants to escape."

She had seen too many tactics of using bluffing to force the opponent to retreat and give the opponent a chance to escape.

Seeing this,

Not only did Ayu not retreat, but his offensive became even more rapid.

Daou danced wildly with his sword, despair revealed in his eyes, and he secretly regretted his impulsiveness in his heart.

Just at this moment.

An invisible pressure suddenly appeared in the whole place.

Not only the three people who were fighting, but the faces of the others also changed drastically, as if a natural disaster was about to strike.

"careful!"

The middle-aged guard next to Dennis had a serious look in his eyes. He pulled Dennis over and led him back repeatedly.

The next moment.

"boom!"

The roof of the tavern collapsed and shattered.

A metal giant over three meters tall fell heavily along with broken bricks and wood.

The entire second floor trembled.

The giant was wrapped in iron armor from head to toe, with only a pair of cold and murderous brown eyes exposed.

"Bree!"

The metal giant spoke in a muffled voice, the sound was like thunder rolling in the clouds, and the invisible pressure made people's hearts beat wildly.

Even Daogu and his companions subconsciously stopped fighting, and everyone tensed up and looked at the newcomer.

"Bryan Foster!"

Carl moved his gaze to Bray, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's you?"

"Who are you?"

Bray's throat rolled and he stepped back subconsciously:

"I...I haven't offended you, have I?"

"Humph!" Carl snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Gary again, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly became stronger: "Die!"

His feet shook, and countless floors shattered on the spot. His huge figure rushed towards Gary like a small mountain.

He waved his big hand forward, and a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground.

"Bang!"

Gary didn't even have time to scream before he was slapped away. He died in mid-air with countless broken bones.

The corpse crashed into the thick wall of the tavern, creating cracks as dense as a spider web.

Then it slowly slid to the ground.

"Master!"

Ayu screamed:

“Get out of the way!”

But after killing Gary with one blow, Carl turned around and rushed straight towards Bray.

The guards in front of him turned pale and tried to charge forward, but it was of no use at all.

In the face of the terrifying power of the metal giant, the few people were like playthings that overestimated their own capabilities and were vulnerable.

"boom!"

The terrifying force directly blasted through the second floor, and several figures were thrown high into the air.

However, as the most favored youngest son of the Foster family, he is always protected by a knight.

While Carl was knocking the others away, a sharp sword light suddenly appeared and stabbed at the giant's throat.

at the same time.

Ayu and another knight also left Taidaolang Daigu and rushed towards where Carl was.

Three knights, attack together.

And do it with all your strength!

Facing the three attacking people, Carl's expression remained unchanged. He just squatted slightly, and the life force in his body burned like a furnace.

Ring of protection!

Fighting Skills - Bloom! "Boom!"

A shock wave visible to the naked eye bloomed with Carl as the center, and everything around him was repelled.

The invisible force swept in all directions in an instant.

It went off like a high explosive bomb.

The entire tavern was intact except for its exterior, but everything inside was blown to pieces by the shock wave.

Second floor,

It is completely gone.

"puff!"

The three knights vomited blood and retreated at the same time. Their spirits instantly weakened and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands.

“Go!”

The guards around Dennis were horrified and pulled him backwards frantically, then jumped out of the tavern in a few flashes.

"Uncle Fred."

Dennis took a deep breath and asked, "What was that just now?"

People? How can there be such a tall person?

I have heard that there is a giant kingdom west of Cologne, but I have only heard of it and have never seen it.

"It's a person."

Fred said in a muffled voice:

"He must have used some secret technique to make his body gigantic. If we only talk about strength, he can probably be compared to an ordinary great knight."

"Hiss..." Dennis took a breath, "Even you are no match for me?"

"I definitely can't." Fred smiled bitterly:

"Even when I was young and at the peak of my powers, I would never have been his match."

"Not just power..."

"The martial arts that person just displayed were also very impressive, at least inherited from a great knight, or even..."

"Maybe legendary level!"

Even when the three knights joined forces, they were no match for each other. This level of strength was already top-notch at the knight stage.

The power behind the legendary inheritance is even more terrifying.

"Master."

Fred whispered, "You'd better not contact the Foster family. If you want to do business, you can find other ways."

"If you want to see Lady Anne..."

He stroked his forehead and sighed:

"We can also think of another way."

No one can resist the charm of Mrs. Anne. Not to mention his own young master, even he was moved after just one look at her.

"Um."

Dennis nodded and said:

"Bree, I'm afraid I can't find it even if I want to."

…………

Inside the pub.

"puff!"

"Bang!"

Carl waved his hands and slapped the guards with a cold look in his eyes, killing them one after another.

Until the others completely collapsed.

He stepped in front of Bray Foster and was about to clap his hands as usual.

"Wait a moment!"

Kaili suddenly said, "Can you wait a moment?"

"Wait for me to ask him one thing, and then you kill him?"

"Alas!" Tai Daolang was speechless. He pulled him back again and again, and even scolded him in a low voice: "Are you going to die?"

The black-armored giant killed people as if he was mowing grass. There was no emotion in his eyes. He was just a killing machine.

Since the others had already fled the pub, you were the only one who rushed forward.

In case you annoy the other person...

"interesting."

Carl turned his head and looked at Kairi.

This friend of mine has always been timid and fearful, but what happened today? He is so bold, which is uncharacteristically true.

Although he was obviously nervous and afraid, he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"OK!"

He grabbed the bray and threw it to the other party:

"hurry up."

As he spoke, he pulled out a tablecloth from the ruins and began to lightly sweep the field for things that could be exchanged for money.

The purse and weapons are the key points.

"Thanks!"

Kaili was delighted:

"Thanks!"

"explain!"

He held Bray down and asked loudly:

"Where did you put my Maggie?"

"snort!"

Bray's face turned pale and he groaned through gritted teeth.

Although he knew that he might not be able to escape today, the look he gave Kairi was still full of disdain.

"you……"

"Will you tell me?"

Kairi was furious and punched the opponent in the abdomen:

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"Tell me, where is my Maggie?"

“Ahem…” Daogu coughed twice, and after being surprised that Karl really handed the person over to Kaili to deal with, he whispered: “That’s not how you ask people.”

"Do you need help?"

"Ah!" Kaili was stunned, then nodded heavily:

"good."

Daogu smiled softly, took out a sharp dagger from his body, and slowly approached Bray.

He clearly didn't say anything, but the fear in Bray's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

sometimes.

Silent oppression can destroy a person's spirit far more than beatings.

…………

Not long after.

A group of uniformed police officers and inspectors arrived at the scene, led by Chief Inspector Gove.

Dina and a few others accompanied him.

Looking around the entire court, Goff's expression turned extremely ugly.

The tavern was reduced to ruins, with corpses being carried out and placed on the open space outside.

None of the corpses were intact. Most of them looked like they had been hit by a huge hammer, with the flesh and blood at the fatal parts turning to powder.

"General Manager."

Dinah whispered, "A total of eleven people died, all from the Foster family, including Bray Foster."

"Um."

Goff took a deep breath and advised the man who was kneeling and crying in front of Bray's body:

"Xize, my friend, please accept my condolences."

"We will definitely find the murderer and bring him to justice. Little Bray's death will not be in vain."

"Goff." Caesar Foster, the head of the Foster family, looked up with red eyes:

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course!" Goff's face was solemn. "The murderer was so brutal. Whether it's for you or the people in the city, there needs to be an explanation."

He also emphasized:

"Even if the murderer is powerful, he cannot escape the punishment of the law!"

"It's better this way." Caesar lowered his head, clenched his hands, and choked up:

"I want to take the body away."

"Of course." Goff took a step back and gestured with his hand:

“It’s your right.”

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

Kairi separated himself from the others and hurried towards Dinah.

"What are you doing?"

Dinah pulled him aside and scolded him in a low voice:

"Do you know that this matter may affect your family? The chief will question you later."

Carey was present when the incident occurred, and there were even witnesses who said he had communicated with Bray before his death.

All these events indicate that Kaili is highly suspicious.

certainly.

Dina knew the personalities of her subordinates and knew that it was impossible and incapable for them to accomplish such a big thing.

"Sir."

Kaili did not explain and said anxiously:

"Brey was secretly engaged in the human trafficking business, and one of my... friends was arrested by him."

"Now he is locked up in a warehouse in the north city."

"Oh!" Dina raised her eyebrows, looked back at the corpse in the field, and waved her hand, "Let's talk about it later."

"We can't wait!" Kaili was anxious: "They may send people away at any time. I don't know what they are doing with them, but no one captured by Bray has ever come back alive."

"Sir..."

"You must help me."

"Got it." With human life at stake, Dina couldn't help but look solemn:

"I'll take a few people over to take a look."

The other side.

Caesar held his son's body and walked towards the carriage. As he moved away from the crowd, the grief on his face gradually disappeared.

There is only coldness.

"master."

The butler whispered, "Please accept my condolences."

"I just want to know." Caesar said in a deep voice, "Did Bray die because someone discovered something?"

"No." The butler shook his head hurriedly:

"The young master is only responsible for a few minor matters. If someone really finds out, it won't just target him. Our entire family will be affected."

"It's probably a personal vendetta."

"Personal vendetta?" Caesar narrowed his eyes, his sight falling on Kairi and Dinah who were talking not far away: "Notify those spiders to transport the people away quickly. Someone may go to investigate."

"in addition……"

"By the way, tell them that Archbishop Antonio has probably quietly left Signo City. Now is a good opportunity to take action."

"Yes." The butler replied.

* * * the next day.

The murder in the bar yesterday has long been known to the whole city, and the story about Carey has been widely circulated among colleagues, and even Carl has heard of it.

"So, you really have a first love? You're borrowing money from colleagues just to save her?"

Looking at Kairi with a cowardly face, it is hard to imagine that such a love story would happen to him.

"It's my fiancée!"

Kaili emphasized, and covered his head with his hands again, looking frustrated:

"Where the hell is she now?"

"Didn't you find it?" Carl was stunned: "Didn't Bray tell you the location?"

"Yes." Kaili nodded. "It was a warehouse of the North City Textile Factory, but we only found some spider webs there."

"There's no one at all!"

Spider web? Carl frowned, subconsciously thinking of the followers of the spider goddess Iris, who seemed to have some connection with the fire thieves of Cologne.

"Kerry!"

Then Dinah came over:

"The chief is looking for you."

"yes."

Kairi stood up dejectedly.

"Have you heard that the murderer is a giant over three meters tall, wearing a set of armor that covers his body tightly."

"Where can someone be so tall?"

"Yeah! If the murderer was really that tall, he would have been discovered long ago. It must be a rumor."

Everyone murmured quietly.

Compared to the gossip about Carey, there are more rumors about the murderer.

It was normal at first.

Gradually.

He is several meters tall, covered with hair, and his weapon is a large wooden stick. One hit from him can cause a house to collapse.

I don't know whether it is referring to savages or giants.

Carl shook his head, put away his distracting thoughts and continued reading the book.

To him, these were trivialities of daily life, and it didn't matter even if Bray Foster had followers of evil gods behind him.

He was about to leave Signo City, and everything that happened here had nothing to do with him, so he naturally didn't need to pay attention to it.

However, there has been progress in the free port.

…………

"Dried fallen leaves and flowers, rotten oil, dried fruits..."

Aya added the ingredients into the medicine pot one by one in order, stirring them orderly and checking the heat from time to time.

"The paralysis potion takes effect very slowly, but it has a great inhibitory effect on giant creatures, and can also be used to heal people."

Carl put his hands behind his back and explained: "Some people are injured and need to have their skin and flesh cut open or bones scraped. At this time, they need to take paralytic drugs to relieve the pain."

"Uncle." Aya said, "I think even if someone bought the paralysis drug, it would be used to hunt the giant sea beasts. The possibility of saving people is not high."

There are many huge sea beasts in the Endless Sea, and it is often very troublesome to hunt them.

Taking medicine is also inconvenient.

But paralytic drugs at least offer another idea.

"Um."

Carl nodded and did not reject it: "You only need to know what the potion can be used for. As for what someone buys it for, you don't need to care."

"Yes." Aya replied, and then said:

"Sister Susan from the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce came yesterday and she invited you to join the Chamber of Commerce."

"The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce can provide a shop in the Herb Market for free. Later, their shop can also sell the potions we refine. The requirement is that our potions must be supplied to their Chamber of Commerce first."

That makes sense.

Carl nodded slowly.

He now refines more than a dozen kinds of potions, most of which are healing potions, and some have special properties.

Such as refractory.

Paralysis Potion.

Aromatic medicines that can slightly increase the body's defenses, etc.

"People from the Sea God Society are here too. They are quite overbearing and demand that the potions we refine must be sold to them, but they will give us a portion of the profits."

Aya said: "But they can provide uncle with a swimming seal, and of course they can also exchange it for other seals of the same level."

Carl's eyes lit up.

“Boom boom!”

There was a knock on the door.

"Uncle."

Xiaonan's voice came from outside:

"Someone from the Scythe Brotherhood wants to see you."

The Scythe Brotherhood, the Poseidon Society, and the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce are the three largest forces in Freeport.

The latter two have already happened, and the former is no exception.

Please add to collection! (End of this chapter)
