Chapter 601 Investigation of Kent City
Kashin came to the foot of Kent City, looking at the tall and slightly weathered city walls, feeling filled with emotion.
This city carries too many memories for him, and every brick and stone seems to be telling stories of the past. Back then, he was in extreme danger, and it was Crow who brought a group of assassins to save him from the hands of the white-robed priest.
At that time, he was dying and his consciousness was blurred. He only remembered that he was carefully carried into Kent City through this city gate by everyone.
That was the turning point of his destiny. The city of Kent was like a warm harbor, providing him with shelter and allowing him to survive in this world full of dangers and challenges.
Today, he stood in front of the city again, but his mood was completely different. He came to the city to eliminate the traitors and to remove the evil forces hiding in the dark, like a cancer.
For him, this is not just a task, but also a way to repay the city with gratitude. Kent City once saved his life, and now he wants to use his own strength to protect the peace and justice of the city.
Kashin changed into a viscount's dress at the city gate. It was a blue military dress, and every detail of the dress showed refinement and majesty. The blue fabric was like the deep ocean, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
The lines of the clothes are straight, without a single wrinkle, and every stitch and thread seems to speak of the glory and dignity of the nobility.
Senior Crow stood aside as a guard, his posture erect, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. The two looked at each other, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding and determination, and then they entered the city in a grand manner.
The guards at the city gate saw Kashin's viscount's dress and his extraordinary demeanor, as well as Crow's majestic guard appearance, and dared not question him. Instead, they saluted and welcomed Kashin into the city.
Afterwards, Angel floated in the air on time, slowly landed in front of Kashen, and then took Kashen to the local mercenary branch.
After meeting up with Stephen Lee, Stephen Lee saw Kashen wearing the robes of a nobleman and immediately understood that Kashen was going to handle the case here.
After all, he was a day late, which meant he might have accomplished a lot.
During this day, colleagues were anxiously investigating the case, but they seemed to have no clue.
Stephen Lee frowned and said, "Kashen, you are finally here. My colleagues are investigating the case, but there seems to be no clues. Moduo is guarding the port with his men. If they encounter any suspicious persons, they will definitely take action."
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, and the pressure of investigating the case made him look a little haggard.
After hearing this, Kashin's eyes became firm, and he said methodically:
"Senior, please send someone to the palace to report the news. I hope the palace will send someone to manage this place. The current situation in Kent City is not optimistic. It has become a place where filth and dirt are hidden. If it is not rectified, it will become a huge hidden danger to the safety of the empire.
We must immediately take control of the City Lord's Mansion, arrest the people inside, and torture them immediately to see if they have accomplices.
Then let someone inform Senior Moduo to take control of Oscar Trading Company and all merchant ships. This family has been entrenched here for many years, and their power is intertwined and has penetrated into every corner of the city.
Confiscate their family and all their property. Then let the new city lord take over Oscar Trading Company. This is equivalent to giving the city lord a fortune, while also ensuring that the business is not affected. "
Kashin's words were powerful, and every word was full of decisiveness and determination. He had already made a clear judgment of the entire situation and knew that he had to take tough measures to rectify the chaos in Kent City.
Stephen Lee certainly knew that Cashen had already found out everything, and he had complete faith in Cashen's judgment.
So, he said without hesitation: "Okay, announce the start of the work. Kashin, take a break, and let them do these things. Today, the magician will enforce the law, and those who resist will die!"
His voice echoed in the mercenary branch, full of unquestionable majesty. Then, he frowned and asked:
"I wonder if there are any dark priests in the city?"
This question made the atmosphere even more solemn. The existence of the shadow priest was like a hidden bomb that could trigger a greater crisis at any time.
Kashin replied: "Angel has not found any relevant situation, so let her go out to sea immediately to investigate the case and confirm the location. After we control Oscar Trading Company, we still have a tough battle to fight."
There was a sense of caution in Kashen's eyes. He knew that although there was no trace of the Dark Priests at present, it did not mean that they did not exist.
"Kashin, can you tell me what the so-called tough battle means?"
Stephen Lee looked at Kashen with burning eyes. He knew that since Kashen said that, there must be an extremely difficult challenge waiting for them ahead.
"Senior, take the city lord and his family to the mercenary prison. I will interrogate him later. Please prepare a feast. Senior Crow and I will have a drink and relax."
Cashen did not directly answer Stephen Lee's question, but first arranged the things at hand.
He knew very well that the city lord and his family were the key figures in the whole incident, and he might be able to obtain a lot of important information from them, which would be of immeasurable value for subsequent actions.
"Haha! Kashin, go to the guest room and take a rest! The Mercenary Tavern is now working day and night to make delicious food, which can be enjoyed at any time. We will take care of the rest. We will borrow the troops from the Mercenary Association this time." Stephen Lee responded with a smile.
He understood that Kashin had just been through a lot and needed to rest and recover his energy. The mercenary tavern was open day and night because the magician had given them a lot of gold coins to improve the food standards and ensure the magician's appetite.
Kashin turned to Crow and said, "Let our people deliver your battle report to Dunzhu City! Anyway, let all the magicians left in Dunzhu City come to Kent City and wait for orders..."
Kashin's voice was steady and firm. The transmission of battle reports was particularly important at this time. It was not only a summary of the previous battle situation, but also a basis for the deployment of subsequent actions.
Asking all the magicians in Donzhu City to come to Kent City and stand by means that Kashin is making full preparations for the upcoming tough battle.
The so-called tough battle needs to be discussed after interrogating the city lord Suleiman. More than sixty battle mages are on the battlefield, which can be said to be a strong force and fearless.
Crow decisively handed the battle report to Stephen Lee. He was also thinking about the guild's funeral arrangements for the assassin code-named Coffin Nail who died in battle, as well as the merit that Kashen tacitly promised him this time, and he also reported it in time.
If the assassin kills the Dark Priest, the reward will be no less than 150,000, which is the reward given by the Lord of Dunzhu City.
Viscount Kashin will also give him a reward. In this world where interests and dangers coexist, bounties have become an important factor in motivating the assassins to act.
Crow had never taken on such a big job in his life, and he was filled with emotion. The bounty for this mission was larger than anything he had ever experienced before.
In fact, he also knew that this was Kashin's way of repaying his life-saving favor and was trying to promote him.
Crow knew that Kashin was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. He still remembered the time when he saved Kashin, and now Kashin was repaying him in this way, which touched him and made him feel ashamed.
He knew that he did not play a big role in the capture of the Dark Priest, but Kashen gave him the credit, which was a great favor.
