Chapter 55. 55. The Twelve Kings of the North

The people of Beach Street cannot escape three things: birth, death and the Ballas.

Calvo, the leader of the Ballas gang, liked this sentence plagiarized from nowhere.Despite the fact that Beach Street was crowded with several gangs, the Baller gang only had the protection money of a casino and a few hundred yards of shops.

On this day, Calvo was wearing a lizard fur coat, staying in his room covered with lizard skin blankets, enjoying the service of a maid who was said to have lizard blood.

Not long after, someone below stood outside the door and told him that Randy wasn't here.

Calvo remembered Randy, who was a smart guy.Just like when he was young.So Calvo never gave him a chance—because of a secret hidden in his heart: the former boss of the Ballas Gang was strangled to death by himself.

"Didn't Big and Little Forries run with him all day?"

Then his subordinates told him nervously that Ferris was gone too.

What Calvo thought at this time was to let them see the torture of "Lizardman Calvo" when they came back.It's just that what he waited for was not the news of Randy's return, but the tragic death of Randy and five gang members outside the territory.

Calvo the Lizardman realizes they might be getting the Ballas in trouble.

Trouble soon came to visit.

……

"Do you want me to use arcane missiles to pierce through this wooden door and fly dozens of yards to pierce an unlucky guy, or let Andrew use the bewitching technique to make the rats in the nearby gutter crawl out and bite the person in the dream madly?"

Michael's words had the effect of opening the door. The closed door of the casino suddenly opened, and a fat man in lizard skin stepped out of the door with a flattering smile on his face: "Dear Mage..."

"Let's get straight to the point." Michael interrupted Calvo's nonsense, "I investigated the casino income of the Ballas Gang when I came here. To put it simply, your casino's net profit is about 70 silver coins per day, and the Ballas gang controls More than 50 shops collect more than three gold coins every month. According to the "Spellcaster Protection Act", when an impersonal force attacks a spellcaster, the party concerned can demand compensation from the attacker, usually 6% of the normal income of the force. %, for a period of 13 months. So from the next July to December, you need to pay Warlock Annan [-] kinnars every month."

"I... the Bala Gang..."

Frankly speaking, only Lengtouqing thinks that as long as he gathers a few people, dares to fight and kill, and recruits his subordinates, he can form a gang. From then on, he can live comfortably and squeeze civilians and businessmen. Black gloves, or covered by a big person.

The Ballas gang also has them, so if three fighters are found, Calvo will even ask his men to break their legs and sell them on the black market.

But two of the three people outside the door are spellcasters, and they are natural nobles.And the carriage parked by the side of the street was printed with the emblem of the Mage Tower that made him tremble...

The "lizard man" Calvo, who made the civilians afraid and stopped crying like a child, bowed his head and expressed his submission: "The Bala gang will send compensation on time."

"Send this month's compensation to the Morrowind Tavern within three days."

Michael Lisuo completed the claim and returned to the tavern in the carriage. At this time, he noticed Annan's worried look.

"You don't look very happy."

"Because you just killed someone?" Andrew Luna guessed. .

Annan shook his head. The death of some damned people didn't make him uncomfortable, especially the dragon claws of the blue dragon stretched out of the crack like playing with a toy. It was difficult for him to feel the weight of death, "I'm worried that they will pass the loss on to civilian."

"You will be a good lord, Annan." Andrew Luna said gratifiedly, "Don't worry, the Balla gang will only squeeze those damned gamblers and blackmail the rich people who run shops. They know that civilians can't squeeze out oil."

"Spellcaster Protection Act..." Annan remembered another thing, "Wouldn't the murderer who attacked Reeves' convoy face huge compensation?"

Michael and Andrew Luna each made different moves at this time.

Michael checked the defensive spells of the mage tower carriage, and Andrew Luna quietly diffused a warning halo.

Confirming that the carriage had not been bugged, they relaxed again.

"You finally admitted it?"

"I'm just asking."

Impersonating the only son of the Reeves family sounds pretty good...if you're lucky enough to enjoy it.Although Annan can happen to summon blue dragons, Annan who knows no other spells is no different from ordinary people.

One arrow, one cup of poison could kill him.

"The Spellcaster Protection Act was just something I made up to trick him," McColl said. "What does a gang leader who can't even read a word know? As long as you keep persecuting him so that he has no time to think, and then provide another way at this time, he will naturally think about this question."

"However, the Kingdom of the South does have a similar bill." Andrew Luna added.

The mage tower carriage with the constant light feather technique was quite stable. On the way, Andrew Luna used his aria-like singing tone with a certain purpose, telling Annan about the situation in Breeze City:

For example, after the new lord Levi's disappeared, Breeze City couldn't live without a lord.So under the impetus of some old nobles, a young man surnamed Olmedo took over as the city lord.

Seeing that Annan was still pretending to be confused, Andrew Luna had no choice but to speak more bluntly: "Because of historical reasons, the northern tradition never allows young people to become lords of important towns. But the Reeves family is an exception. One of the twelve kings in the northern region, the Reeves family is now in serious decline, and you are the only one left in this generation... cough, the only male left. So the families of the other eleven kings allow Levis to make an exception."

"Then Levi's was attacked, and his life and death were uncertain. The Olmedo family and the old nobles used the excuse that Breeze City needed a city lord to send Geoffrey Olmedo to the position of the city lord."

That Augusta Olmedo sounds suspicious.

The carriage stopped on the street, and Annan and the others went into the tavern.

"...she thought I wouldn't succeed, and I said, I'll prove it to you."

"Did you do it?"

"If I did, I wouldn't be sitting here bragging with you."

"Hahaha, honor our lost ideals."

"Cheers! Now I can only go home and inherit the property left by my father..."

"You fucking..."

The chat in the tavern quickly turned into a quarrel, and then into a fight, and there was a mess of shouting, booing and cheering.

Boss Andrew Luna took it for granted and didn't even bother to separate them.

"Would you like some drinks to calm down?" he asked.

"no need."

Annan hesitated and asked Michael if he could borrow the mage tower carriage.

"of course."

Michael and Andrew Luna looked at each other.

Looks like their little warlock friend wants to deal with some big secrets.
