Chapter 257
"Okay, I'm a man who keeps his promises. I'll let you go this time. If I see you again next time, you'll be dead."
Just now, Cheng Yu promised Ryan to spare his life, so he let him go this time and left the room with Mina and Meiweier.
"Thank you, thank you."
Ryan knelt on the ground and thanked him.
After Cheng Yu and the other two left, Ryan relaxed and sat on the ground, his crotch wet.
He looked forward with lifeless eyes, his heart was dead, his money was gone, his daughter was dead, and his evil god mask was lost.
Today was really unlucky.
Buddhism has the theory of karma. If a person does too many bad things, he will definitely be punished.
However, there is no Buddhism in the Celsis continent, nor the theory of karma. Ryan attributed today's misfortune to bad luck.
The evil god mask is so important that it is lost. What should I say next time someone from the Hidden God Cult asks about it?
Thinking of those perverts in the Hidden God Sect, Ryan's scalp tingled. He and his daughter only ate human flesh and didn't do anything crazy. The Hidden God Sect was capable of anything.
Just as Ryan was thinking about this problem, footsteps were heard outside the room.
Ryan looked up and saw Cheng Yu and the other two coming back.
He was puzzled. Why did these three guys come back again?
Cheng Yu looked at Ryan who was sitting on the ground and smiled, "Friend, what a coincidence, we meet again."
"What are you doing?"
Ryan looked at Cheng Yu in a daze.
"Didn't I just say that you'll be dead the next time we meet? I've already given you a chance to escape, but I didn't expect you to still be sitting here stupidly."
? ? ?
Ryan was stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Yu to say next time so soon.
"This is a closed secret room with only one exit. Where can I escape to?"
"That's not my problem." Cheng Yu smiled crookedly, "Hehehe, die."
"You, you are the devil!"
Lian, with a horrified expression, suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was not much better than those people in the Shenyin Sect. It would be a waste of talent if he didn't join the Shenyin Sect.
Cheng Yu had already condensed a magic circle of fly slapping magic in his palm, and slapped Lian's head with a slap, and Lian's head exploded instantly.
"Human, you are so bad, this dragon likes you more and more."
The black dragon clan is evil by nature. Mei Weier likes Cheng Yu's operation very much and happily holds Cheng Yu's wrist.
"I gave him a chance to escape. If he doesn't run, I can't do anything."
Cheng Yu took Mei Weier and Mina to the other end of the underground passage. There was a heavy iron door in front of him. He punched the iron door open, left the underground passage, and came to the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
It is midnight now, the sky is still dark, and it is pitch black all around.
When eating last night, Cheng Yu saw a map of the Red Moon Empire on the wall of the living room.
Cheng Yu used the power of light to illuminate and went to the living room to get the map.
The dark living room was empty, and Cheng Yu took the map off the mountain.
It can be seen on the map that Black Sun City is located in the west of the Red Moon Empire. If you want to go to the Silver Moon Forest, you have to go southwest.
"We will set off for the Silver Moon Forest tomorrow." Cheng Yu said to Mina and Meiweier.
"Yeah."
Both of them nodded.
The three of them found a room in the city lord's mansion to sleep and slept until dawn.
The next morning, they left the city lord's mansion and came to the streets of Black Sun City.
There were several bodies lying on the bumpy street, and there were bloodstains on the ground and walls. Something bad might have happened on the street last night.
When passing by the corpses, Cheng Yu took a quick glance. Some green runes were carved on the limbs of the corpses. Their eyes were wide open like copper bells, and their mouths were wide open to an exaggerated degree, like a big hole, and something had crawled out of the dead body.
"Damn it, this place is too disgusting."
Cheng Yu frowned, and had a very bad impression of the Red Moon Empire.
The three walked along the street to the south of Black Sun City.
Dozens of armored soldiers stood at the door, using their spears to stop people who wanted to leave the city.
Many people lined up at the city gate.
"Friend, why are these people queuing?"
Cheng Yu walked to a ragged one-eyed man and asked him.
The one-eyed man looked at Cheng Yu, who was dressed gorgeously, and stretched out his hand, "One silver coin for one question."
"You charge money for asking a question?"
Cheng Yu had never met anyone who charged money when asking for directions in the Black Sun Empire before. This man must be crazy because of poverty.
"No comment without money."
The one-eyed man was arrogant and ignored Cheng Yu.
A silver coin was not expensive, so Cheng Yu took out a silver coin and gave it to the one-eyed man.
After receiving the money, the one-eyed man immediately changed his attitude and said happily, "This gentleman is coming to the Red Moon Empire for the first time, right? We have to collect a city tax when leaving the main city of the Red Moon Empire., there is a city entry tax, there is a breeding tax for having children, there is a chicken tax for raising chickens, and there is a road tax for walking on the street..."
"So many taxes? "
Cheng Yu was surprised.
The Red Moon Empire has many levies and taxes.
Thinking of Beverly, the lord of Shien City who was still working as a laborer on Bailu Island, Beverly levied 30% agricultural tax on the farmers in the territory, which was relatively high.
But if Beverly was placed in the Red Moon Empire as a lord, he would be a great philanthropist.
There was a sign at the gate of Black Sun City, and each person was charged 20 copper coins to leave the city.
Cheng Yu took out 60 copper coins and gave them to the soldiers.
Smoothly left the city.
Under the city wall was a large slum area, where the poor built shacks with rags and branches and barely lived.
As the main trading city, the Red Moon City of the Black Sun Empire was prosperous, while the Black Sun City of the Red Moon Empire was a scene of declining people's livelihood.
A stable social environment is very important for economic development.
Cheng Yu touched Meiweier's silver hair, "Meiweier, take off. "
Meiweier turned into a black dragon at the city gate, standing on the ground, taller than the city wall.
A black dragon appeared out of thin air, and ordinary civilians near the city gate fled and hid in fear.
Cheng Yu took Mina and jumped on top of Meiweier, and Meiweier flapped her wings and flew up.
"Human, which direction to fly?"
Meiweier asked Cheng Yu, opening and closing her dragon mouth.
Cheng Yu sat cross-legged on top of Meiweier's head, took out a compass and a map of the Red Moon Empire, and after determining the direction, he climbed onto the back of Meiweier's dragon claw and pointed to the direction slightly south of the west, "Fly over there. "
Meiweier looked down at the direction Cheng Yu pointed and began to accelerate.
Not long after flying, the ground below was filled with deafening sounds of fighting and the collision of weapons.
Cheng Yu walked to the edge of Meiweier's head and looked down at the ground below. On the vast plain, two human armies in armor were fighting.
The two armies clashed, some were beheaded by swords, some were pierced through the body by spears, some had their arms chopped off, and some had their legs chopped off...
Some soldiers had their weapons broken and could not fight with them, so they began to fight hand-to-hand, stabbing their eyes, biting their necks, kicking their crotches, and fighting desperately.
"It is common for the great lords of the Red Moon Empire to attack each other." Mina said.
"It's a pity not to use so many strong soldiers to farm."
Rulers wage wars to protect their own interests, but they ask civilians to pay the bill.
