Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 92: Human Skin Kite
Half a day later in Tornado Harbor, the scorching sun shone on the sea, and everything seemed so hot and painful.
Marvin and his group entered the city and were subjected to strict inspection. If Marvin had not shown his Lord's Medal issued by the Southern Wizard Union, it would have been impossible for him to enter the city in such chaos!
Tornado Harbor was in chaos, people were trying to save collapsed houses, parents were looking for lost children, and the guards were silently receiving treatment.
After this dragon disaster, many people lost their relatives, brothers and friends; some people lost their arms or calves.
For these injured soldiers, being able to lie here and receive treatment is much better than their comrades who died under the evil dragon fire.
At least, they still have life and time to be sentimental.
Disasters are so cruel.
Marvin walked on the street, silently watching the children running past him, their faces full of fear.
This disaster may be recorded in history, but it will remain more deeply rooted in the hearts of the civilians of Tornado Harbor.
Especially for children, experiencing such trauma at a young age is unimaginable for people who have always lived in peacetime.
Marvin heard someone praying to the gods - it was a priest of the Silver God - he was praying for the gods' protection and to keep disaster away from this land.
Unfortunately, this low-level priest did not know that the gods he believed in would not protect him.
It is true that the Silver God is a third-generation ancient god and did not participate in the attack on the Cosmic Magic Pool, but he had no way to stop it.
For the East Coast, and even the entire Fenan, the dragon disaster is just the beginning.
The real disaster and pain are far from coming!
…
Marvin and Ibrahimovic break up in Cyclone Harbor.
The Elf Prince firmly believed in himself and vowed to find the hiding place of the ancient red dragon Earl and complete his mission of slaying the dragon.
Marvin knew very well that the lair of the ancient red dragon was actually in a strange cave on the seabed. It was very difficult to find there, and without the coordinates, it would be impossible to find it in the vast ocean.
The seawater will not seep back there, and it is a very dry and warm place. Because it is very close to the underground, lava erupts frequently.
The ancient red dragon fought twice on the east coast. The first time was to attack Whirlwind Harbor; the second time was a world-shaking battle with Professor Copper Dragon. After the second time, both sides were seriously injured. Earl fled back to his underwater nest, but a tracking master discovered the location of the nest and spread the news.
This immediately attracted countless adventurers, and dragon slayers who were trying to make a name for themselves flocked to the place.
This is the origin of the first legendary copy opened in "Fenan Continent" - [Lava Palace].
These were all plots that Marvin was very familiar with from the games in his previous life. He even knew how to find the lava palace hidden deep under the sea.
But he did not tell Ibrahimovic the location of the palace, because he knew that the current Ibrahimovic was far from being a match for the Red Dragon.
Even though he fought with the Red Dragon with a punch, that punch was completely unexpected.
If the ancient red dragon is prepared, after a few dragon language magic spells, unless the Great Elf King solidifies the forbidden spell of resurrection on Eevee, Eevee will be reduced to ashes!
Even if Earl is scared away by the Dragon Slayer Sword, a restraining spell, he is still not something that the current Eevee can deal with.
Marvin knew that dragons were full of treasures, but he knew to act within his ability. To kill the ancient red dragon, at least the Great Elf King, Anthony who had never fallen, Professor Red Copper Dragon, or Inheim who wore the Void Boots would have to take action.
With my weight, even if the ancient dragon was lying in front of me, I would not be able to pry off a single dragon scale from it even if I tried my best!
This is the absolute crushing of strength.
Skills and experience have become vain.
Marvin watched Ibrahimovic board a boat and go out to sea, then began to implement his plan.
He hadn't forgotten why he came here. He had gone through the spider dungeons with great difficulty, just to buy enough food.
Cyclone Port is a major grain port.
…
"What!?"
"Because of the dragon disaster, all trade in Whirlwind Port has been suspended?"
Marvin frowned.
Laura also showed a helpless look.
It turned out that she had come to Gem Bay to discuss cooperation with the head of a chamber of commerce called Taurus in Cyclone Harbor.
With her eloquent mouth, Laura managed to describe the poor and backward Baihe Valley into a territory with great development potential!
After Laura's negotiation (bluffing?), the person in charge finally agreed to sell a certain amount of wheat to the White River Valley at a price 30% lower than the market price.
The prerequisite is that, for at least the next three years, the Taurus Chamber of Commerce will become the first priority supplier of food to the White River Valley, and requires Marvin to grant the Taurus Chamber of Commerce the right to open a series of affiliated industries in the White River Valley, while demanding lower taxes.
For Marvin, the business in the White River Valley was almost zero, and the taxes were not high, so he could completely accept the conditions of the Taurus Chamber of Commerce.
So if what Laura said was true, he agreed.
However, this morning, when he asked Laura to find the person in charge first, he got this news:
Trade was strictly prohibited throughout the city, everyone was rescuing dilapidated buildings, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the commercial district, aristocratic district and dock area.
The ban is said to last at least a week.
In other words, for at least a week, Marvin would not be able to buy food from the Taurus Chamber of Commerce!
Marvin quickly went to verify the news.
Laura wasn't lying.
The notice board in Cyclone Harbor explicitly prohibits trade, especially food and daily necessities.
"This is a bit troublesome."
"In six days at most, the territory will run out of food. If Madeline asks her to get some food over here, she will have to give away the Holy Grail. It's such a loss!"
"If we go north, the other five ports of the Pearl Harbor were not affected by the dragon disaster, but they were also affected by the tsunami. They might have implemented similar policies, which would delay our progress and make things even worse."
Marvin frowned, thought for a while, and finally made a decision.
There is only one way.
Trojan Town Black Market.
…
Half an hour later, Marvin bought a healthy horse at a high price from a merchant who was about to leave Whirlwind Harbor.
He rode his horse, taking Laura with him, and sped away to the west.
Laura didn't know how to ride a horse, so Marvin could only let her sit in front of him to prevent her from falling off the horse.
But God knows what this girl, whose thinking and eloquence are always working at a high speed, is thinking.
The reason why Marvin brought Laura with him was simple.
Laura is very good at speaking, which means she has the potential to become a super businessman. Her accounting and bargaining skills are very high, which are very important in negotiations.
Of course, among all her skills, the most powerful one should still be [Bluff].
Although Marvin now trusts her, he does not completely leave everything to her.
If Anna had such eloquence, he would have let the half-elf butler handle it with confidence. Why would he have to do it himself?
…
On the official road at noon, the scattered people and the scorching sun are all very disturbing.
After a while, Marvin left the official road and stepped onto a plain.
Going further west, you will reach Trojan Town.
The Trojan Town was closer to the entrance of the Spider Cave, so Old Halfling and Little Took went directly to the Trojan Town. They didn't buy much, so they could be satisfied here.
Marvin knew that there was an underground black market in Trojan Town where many things could be bought, and food was of course one of them.
But the price will be very expensive and there is a possibility of robbery.
So he initially planned to go through formal channels.
Who would have thought that the ancient red dragon would raid the six Pearl Harbors on the east coast at this time - even if it was a few days later!
When Marvin was thinking this in his heart, Laura suddenly exclaimed: “What a strange shadow!”
She pointed to the sky in the distance. That was the direction of Trojan Town.
Marvin was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, the sunlight was so blinding that he could only see a dark shadow.
The next second, his expression suddenly changed!
That's a human skin kite!
"The Twin Snakes Cult... Not good! Trojan Town!"
This thought suddenly flashed through Marvin's mind, and he suddenly swung his whip and sped up.
Laura didn't understand what was going on, and looking at the extremely serious Marvin, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
…
Ten minutes later, outside Trojan Town.
Wow!
Laura vomited.
What unfolded before her was such a tragic scene!
A rope was hung on a pillar piled with human flesh, and at the top of the rope was a kite made of human skin!
All of these human flesh were from Mu Ma Town when they were alive. They were skinned and made into human skin kites.
Needless to say, this must be the work of the Twin Snakes Cult.
In the entire Trojan Town, there were no living people except for the dead bodies.
The strong smell of blood was nauseating. This time, the scene Marvin encountered was even more tragic than the last time in the Chiba Forest!
Last time it was a small elf village.
This time, the entire Trojan Town has about six or seven hundred residents!
They all died in such an extremely cruel way.
"Twin Snakes Cult!"
Marvin uttered this terrifying term through gritted teeth.
These damn beasts!
Before the dragon disaster came, the Southern Wizard Alliance must have dispatched the guards of the nearby towns to Pearl Harbor Six, leaving the town's defenses unattended, so they attacked the elderly, the weak, women and children!
He had no idea how shocked and painful it would be for the soldiers guarding the east coast to return to their town and see their loved ones killed and made into human skin kites!
"Oh shit……"
"I will tear these scum into pieces!"
Ma Wen suppressed the bloody smell and dragged Laura into Trojan Town.
Since the human skin kite is hanging here, it proves that the people from the Twin Snakes Cult have left.
But there should be something they left behind in the town, and he can track them at night and find these bastards!
The situation inside the town was particularly dire, and Laura vomited even more.
Marvin looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, he heard a low sound of footsteps!
On the left!
whoosh!
He threw a dart without hesitation.
