Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Display of Power

For the people at the bottom of Black City, filling their stomachs was already a luxury. Any consumption unrelated to food was a shameful waste.

However, human nature wouldn’t change because of this.

On the basis of being able to eat and drink well, everyone would have further demands.

Iron Fist Abe was no exception.

Alcohol!

Brewed from grain.

It was absolutely a luxury in Black City, but now jars of it were placed on the table, for him to drink to his heart’s content.

“Refreshing!”

The wine jar landed heavily on the table. Abe’s face was flushed, and he roared loudly:

“This batch of alcohol is strong!”

“Of course.” His deputy, Rice, holding roasted meat, said with a smile:

“This was specially bought by Little Hend from Viterli City. It’s good stuff even there.”

“Leader.” A person below raised his head and asked:

“I heard Hend is doing well?”

“Haha…” Abe laughed loudly at his words, his expression excited, even happier than when he had drunk good wine:

“That’s right.”

“He has taken a noble knight as his teacher. That old knight has no children and is raising him as his heir.”

“Good!” Deputy Rice shouted in approval:

“When Little Hend becomes a knight in the future, we will have a place to go after we leave Black City.”

“Yes.”

Abe nodded slowly.

These people were now his crew in Black City, and in the future, they could also become his son’s support outside.

His own people, trustworthy.

“Come!”

“Drink, eat meat!”

“Although the conditions in Black City are not good, as long as you work hard, you can get a lot of things that are not available outside.”

“Like exotic beast meat, weapons, armor, even Runes…”

“Yes.”

Abe took a sip of alcohol:

“Brothers, put in more effort these few years, get more exotic beast meat sent over, let my son be promoted to a knight early.”

“You will be rewarded when the time comes!”

This was also the reason he stayed in Black City.

For the people at the bottom of Black City, leaving here was almost hopeless.

But for people like Iron Fist Abe, leaving Black City was not difficult, but staying here could bring a lot of benefits.

“Haha…” Everyone laughed and said one after another:

“Definitely, definitely.”

“After I get out, I must find a soft bed and sleep for days and nights.”

“You have no ambition. What’s so good about a soft bed? If you want to find something, you should find a soft woman, right?”

“Haha…, if it’s a woman, do you think he can still get up after a few days and nights?”

“You underestimate me?”

The place was filled with laughter and chaos.

Iron Fist Abe, holding a wine jar, lay back drunkenly, his consciousness hazy, half asleep.

Suddenly.

“Thump…”

A muffled sound came from outside.

He blinked his eyes with effort. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw more than ten cold lights shooting in from outside the house.

Even more figures followed closely behind, rushing into the courtyard and starting a massacre.

In the blink of an eye, several companions who had been together for years and were like brothers lay in pools of blood.

Even Deputy Rice, under the siege of several people, was in a precarious situation.

Huh?

“Audacious!”

With a roar, Iron Fist Abe slammed the table and stood up.

Aya came prepared.

Perhaps she wanted to take this opportunity to let Karl get to know her again, she called more than ten helpers.

In addition to Eve Dorn from last time, she also called another black-haired man.

Plus Little Nan.

Just in terms of knight squires, there were three. Purely in terms of numbers, they were no less than Iron Fist Abe.

“Attack!”

Aya leaned forward, her eyes cold. She flashed into the manor, behind a patrolling person.

Her wrist flickered, a dagger shot out, slicing across the other person’s throat.

Anyone who could survive in Black City until now would not be a good person, and Aya was no exception. She killed without blinking, as if she was killing a chicken.

“Pfft!”

Blood splattered.

The others also took action, pouncing on their predetermined targets, quickly taking care of the peripheral personnel.

Eve held two short swords, while the black-haired man’s weapon was a scimitar. Both of them were extremely sharp when they fought.

Hmm…

Seeing this scene, Karl was lost in thought.

Compared to the knight squires of the Patrol Headquarters, the people who lived in Black City were more vicious when they fought.

✿✿✿

Not to mention one-on-one.

Even if it was one-on-two or one-on-three, those pampered colleagues from the Patrol Headquarters were probably not a match for the people here.

In the blink of an eye, the group had already rushed into the core of the manor. Aya waved her hand, and the people behind followed.

Immediately after.

A group of people raised their arms, revealing hidden arrows, short crossbows, and other weapons, carefully approaching the windows and aiming at their targets.

Then they pulled the triggers.

“Bang!”

“Whoosh whoosh…”

“Pfft!”

Instantly.

More than ten powerful arrows pierced into the room. Accompanied by a series of screams and the sounds of bodies falling, Aya’s group followed closely behind and rushed into the room.

“Kill!”

“Die!”

“Clang…”

One side was well-prepared and had the advantage of surprise, while the other side was caught off guard and unprepared. The close combat turned into a one-sided situation.

Little Nan held a wooden shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, roaring and attacking his opponent frantically.

He was born with superhuman strength.

Based on Karl’s estimation, Little Nan’s strength was probably no weaker than his own, comparable to many people who had been knight squires for many years.

After a charge, three people instantly fell at his feet, also attracting most of the attention in the field.

Eve and the black-haired man didn’t say a word. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, they joined forces to surround a knight squire.

They cooperated tacitly, obviously not something that could be achieved overnight. One person attacked fiercely from the front, while the other assisted from the side, each move aimed at vital points.

There were also archers to assist…

“Pfft!”

The scimitar pierced into the opponent’s heart.

Taken care of!

However, after a brief period of chaos, the others in the field had also come back to their senses, roaring and launching a counterattack.

The people of Black City were accustomed to killing, and they were extremely ferocious when they fought.

Even if they were stabbed several times, even in vital points, they would grab their opponents before dying, trying to perish together.

Not a single person chose to run away.

Unbelievable!

The people here were not so much humans as beasts dominated by their ferocious nature.

“Audacious!”

Amidst the roar, Iron Fist Abe slapped away the incoming arrow, grabbed a person, and slammed him hard on the ground.

His strength was extremely terrifying, the hundred-pound living person was literally smashed into a pulp.

“Leader!”

Deputy Rice, who was under siege, shouted when he saw this:

“It’s Aya!”

Aya?

Iron Fist Abe’s eyes were blank, then he remembered the name that had been frequently appearing in his ears recently.

That little girl?

How dare she?

“You’re courting death!”

With a roar, the ground beneath Iron Fist Abe’s feet shattered. His entire body shot out like a cannonball.

His target was Aya, who was on the outer edge of the crowd.

“Get out of the way!”

Little Nan wanted to intercept, but he was knocked away with his shield by a punch.

As for Eve and the black-haired man, they looked at each other and actually abandoned Iron Fist Abe to rush towards Deputy Rice.

As long as they killed Rice, and then joined forces with the others, even if Iron Fist Abe was strong, he would definitely not be able to win.

As for Aya…

They were only invited to deal with Iron Fist Abe, and they didn’t guarantee that Aya wouldn’t be injured.

“Get out of the way!”

“Stay here!”

Iron Fist Abe charged all the way, withstanding several sword strikes, chasing after Aya who was trying to escape.

His speed was astonishing. In a few breaths, he rushed out of the courtyard and saw Aya stop in front.

In addition to Aya, there was another person there.

“Iron Fist Abe?”

Karl looked at the other party, then raised his left hand.

Fire Rune!

“Boom!”

A ball of raging fire roared out.
