Chapter 497
"Who are you! Leave quickly!" The two sentinels on duty at the gate shouted loudly.

"We were sent by the Earl of Lulian City," Zhang Cheng said proactively. "Your illegal business has ended since today. Now you are given a chance to surrender immediately, otherwise you will die."

"Ha..." One of the two sentinels laughed.Here came two strangers, a man and a woman, and they were just talking nonsense like that. "Idiot, get out of here. What Earl of Lulian City! Get out of here when the Supreme Father comes!"

"Look." Zhang Cheng spread his hands, "I always give everyone a chance, but everyone has this attitude." The next moment, a silent pistol appeared in his hand.

Shooting at this distance, there is no possibility of shooting in the air.

"What is this?" Alicia was surprised.Although these two are not rivals at all.But it's still shocking to be shot down a few times.

"A new type of musket." Zhang Cheng gestured to the weapon in his hand, but put it back in his pocket without handing it to Alicia for a closer inspection. "Don't ask me, I didn't make this thing, it came from the hands of a real craftsman, I just use it."

"This thing should be very expensive, right?" Although Alicia didn't know much about firearms, she also knew that there were many types of firearms.In this era, it is not an exaggeration to call it a group of demons dancing wildly.Whatever musket appears is normal.All kinds of whimsical ideas, a hundred flowers bloom.

"It's okay..." Zhang Cheng's words were interrupted because someone came out of the house.

Although the gunshot just now was not loud, it also alarmed the people in the room.This new one was a big man, and he couldn't figure out what was going on at first, but the corpse of his companion on the ground itself was the best explanation.

"There are intruders!" The big man shouted, his voice echoing in the night sky of the silent city.While he was yelling, his hands were not idle, and he had already drawn out the big knife he was carrying.

Alicia drew her sword to meet her.In this case, she didn't hold back her hand. With the activation of the knight skill, a burst of light burst out from the sword instantly.

Her body is equivalent to being blessed by a bunch of magic such as blessing, acceleration, brute force, etc., and has strength, speed and control ability far exceeding normal human beings.

Although I know the essence of the matter, this scene is indeed quite gorgeous.

As far as the sword light came, the big man barely blocked the first blow and was defeated. He was chased while staggering back, and his throat was pierced with a sword.

The big man fell down screaming miserably, and another person came out of the room.This time it came out with a weapon.But this is completely useless. In a one-on-one situation, Alicia, who is a hero, is not something that ordinary people can stop.

In just a few seconds, Alicia easily defeated her opponent.Also using knight skills, he swung a heavy blow that didn't match his own body shape to defeat the opponent's posture, and then took the opportunity of the opponent's unstable figure to make up for the final blow.

These two screams may have served as a good warning, no one came out from the door.

But Alicia didn't dare to go in for a while.After all, no one knows what is inside, maybe an ambush is set up, maybe there are weapons such as crossbows or muskets, and such weapons are also a great threat to people of the hero rank.

She looked back at Zhang Cheng, but saw Zhang Cheng's indifferent smile. He waved a short stick in his hand to signal Alicia to step back.

"What is this?" Alicia noticed the short staff.It was a bony short staff studded with some sort of glowing little stones, in great numbers, which ended in a marvelous texture on the bony surface.

"A magic wand." Zhang Cheng replied.He aimed the head of his hypnotic wand at the crack of the door and fired a round through it.

The light on the surface of the wand was visibly dimmed.Even Alicia, who was completely ignorant of magic, could feel a part of the wand's power being released.

"What will happen to the people inside?" Now she found that Zhang Cheng had many secrets.It was like this last time, and it will be like this this time.

"It's nothing...just falling asleep. Of course, if their vitality and mental strength are strong enough, then they can resist their sleepiness, which means nothing will happen."

"Where did you get this...?"

"Don't ask me," Zhang Cheng shrugged. "I just paid for it. I don't understand how it's made, nor how it's made. We don't have to do anything now, just wait a few minutes."

In the past, Zhang Cheng killed hundreds of goblins at the cost of a hypnotic wand.

A few minutes later, Zhang Cheng pushed the door open and entered, and saw three people lying on the ground sleeping soundly, all of them were surrounded by strong crossbows with bowstrings.If Alicia had rushed in just now, she would have endured all this wave of warm greetings.Even though Alicia is a hero, she may not be able to accept such a warm greeting.

"What should I do?" Alicia asked.

"What to do. They just fell asleep," Zhang Cheng replied. "There are only two of us, and we don't have the energy to take care of the prisoners."

Alicia looked at several people, still hesitating.

"They are smugglers, and as you have seen, this is the type of resistance that will never repent." Zhang Cheng replied. "Look at their weapons, think about it, if we lose and fall into their hands, will we be let go? Besides, there may be other people below, and we don't have much space."

Alicia also knew that what Zhang Cheng said was right, so she made up her mind and took action directly.

It took Zhang Cheng a while to find the switch in the basement and open the door to the basement.

Below, as he knew, was a warehouse larger than expected, where various things were piled up in different categories.There are food, weapons, luxuries, potions... But there is a whole basket of clothes in a corner.

It's not a decoration like a clothing store, but piled up in a mess.The productivity of this world is backward - in this regard, even on the earth, before the development of the cotton and oil industries in modern times, clothes were actually quite valuable items.

Zhang Cheng casually picked up a piece of women's clothing. There was a spot of black around the neckline of the dress...he could recognize it as blood.

The clothes themselves were intact, but the blood stains indicated that the fate of the former owner might not be very good.

"This is..." Alicia was a little surprised, and she also noticed the blood.

"Haha, it's probably the relics of the last group of stowaways who asked them to sneak out of the city." Zhang Cheng said. "Well, they dug a tunnel? No, it can't be said that it was completely dug out. Maybe it's a natural tunnel. They rely on this thing to buy and sell various items in and out of the city. Especially contraband. The era of turmoil After that, according to the requirements of the church, many things were forbidden to be owned by the people, and even bought and sold. Of course, this kind of thing was very common even before the era of turmoil. For example, salt is a high-tax thing, but smuggling can be avoided."

"Generally speaking, people often make a mistake," Zhang Cheng continued, picking up a few clothes from the basket, and about half of them could find obvious bloodstains. "That is to think that smugglers are a group of merchants. Merchants, at worst, are hoarders, and at worst, usurers. But in fact, they are not. Smugglers are a group of desperadoes."

"This..." Alicia checked her clothes.Although I can't count for a while, the clothes belong to at least thirty or forty people.In other words, at least thirty or forty people had died at the hands of these smugglers.

"When the desperadoes faced a group of unarmed, unvigilant, but rich people," Zhang Cheng threw his clothes back. "It's hard not to be tempted. I told you the old man once gave me a bell to come here and find these smugglers."

"You mean..." Alicia immediately understood what Zhang Cheng meant. "He has bad intentions?"

"If everything goes as he expected." Zhang Cheng pointed to the basket of clothes. "I'm afraid there will be a few more clothes inside." He suddenly smiled. "It seems... a good show is coming!"

"A good show is coming?"

"Well, this is their warehouse, which can be regarded as their camp, but it's not all of them." Zhang Cheng said. "After all, we were delayed for a while when we came in just now. This time should be enough for them to spread the alarm."

As far as the old man knew, it was not for nothing that this group of smugglers had amassed so much wealth.They are powerful, in fact their leader is a warrior of hero rank.

"You mean...others already know?"

"I already know." Zhang Cheng said. "Besides, since there are only two of us and they don't know the details, it is estimated that all the rest of the smuggler group will come here."

"Then what should we do?" Alicia asked. "Wait here for them to come? Or go out to meet them?"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a group of smugglers." Zhang Cheng said indifferently. "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Alicia came to her senses, there was really nothing to worry about.Zhang Cheng is actually very skilled, not only that, he also has more weird equipment.She has never seen these equipments before, but the actual effect is very good.

This is true whether it is the explosive bomb made of gunpowder, or the wonderful short musket just now, and that magic wand.

"Search the warehouse here, be careful, there may be some kind of trap." Zhang Cheng said.He walked out of the basement. "Leave the outside to me."

After going out, Zhang Chengcheng saw five figures.

Although the five of them didn't have armor, they all had guys on them.Three long-barreled muskets with already lit matchlocks, a tall man with an ax and shield, and a sullen-faced chieftain.

Although they met each other for the first time, they knew that this was the leader just by looking at their posture.A warrior of heroic rank.

Seeing his target, Zhang Cheng couldn't help grinning.

This smuggling gang has almost the same number of people... After all, a city of the size of Lulian City cannot accommodate too many dark forces.There are more than a dozen core members and dozens of peripheral members... that's the number of people in this group.This is also very reasonable.

"Good morning." Zhang Cheng took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah?" Several people were stunned, and finally, the leader spoke. "Your boy, Shi Lezhi, right? It's still early in the daytime."

"Really? What a pity." Zhang Cheng said. "I thought you'd at least enjoy pretending to see the sun one last time."

"What are you talking about! Boy!" A strong man with a musket in his hand pointed it at Zhang Cheng. "go to hell!"

A black shadow rushed up from the slanting stab, blocking Zhang Cheng's front.

It was a masked man wearing a black cloak to hide his figure, but he held a long sword with a rather strange style in his hand.For some reason, when you see this figure, you instinctively feel a sense of pressure.

Under the action of the cicada's instinct before the autumn wind moved, the strong man lost control of himself and fired directly.

The power of muskets, even this kind of early matchlock guns, is also very powerful, especially the armor-piercing ability is better than bows and crossbows.But the long sword in the masked man's hand flicked lightly, turning into a gorgeous sword flower.The bullet was hit by the long sword, as if it was a flying insect caught by a spider web, it was actually lost and stuck to the tip of the sword.After sticking for a short time, the long sword vibrated slightly, and the lead bullet fell harmlessly to the ground.

After everything is over, your ears can only hear the sound of swords whistling like singing.It was produced by the long sword vibrating the air at high speed.

This unbelievable scene shocked people, and the smugglers all looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe what they saw.

"Oh, sorry, your opponent is not me." Zhang Cheng said. "It's him. Yanbi, just keep the head intact." The last sentence Zhang Cheng ordered to the masked man.

Yan Bi has not had time to answer.The leader of the smugglers on the other side had drawn his long sword.Forced by the instinctive sense of danger, he no longer cared about anything else, and wanted to fight his way out with his own strength.As soon as he came up, he shouted angrily and broke out his knight skills.Under the effect of the knight skill, his body instantly swelled a little, his beard and hair were stretched out, his aura was terrifying, and the long sword in his hand was surrounded by a faint light.

But all is meaningless.Seeing the enemies rushing up, only a trace of disdain flashed in Yan Bi's eyes.He didn't avoid the front for a while, but hedged it without avoiding it.Two figures passed by.At the juncture of life and death, the leader tried his best to swing his sharpest and fastest sword, but he didn't feel that he had hit anything.In fact, after passing by, the leader felt that his body became light.It seems to fly into the sky.

No, he really flew into the sky, because his vision was rising, and he actually saw the top of other people's heads.

Everyone else saw that the leader of the hero rank was decapitated in one stagger, his head flew into the sky, and blood gushed out of his neck.

This situation makes people frightened, how can anyone want to fight.The others turned and ran almost immediately.

But it was useless, because they didn't take two steps, and the masked man appeared in front of them.With a single point of the long sword, several people all knelt down, abandoning their troops and begging for mercy.The groveling is just an appearance, it is rooted in instinct, facing the panic of aliens far above themselves.

"Do you want to live?" Yan Bi looked up at Zhang Cheng.

The smile on the corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth grew stronger, but he shook his head lightly.
