"Master, why are we going to Chaos City? Is it just for Fat Head Fish? "Joey asked softly as he helped Master Rôme take off his thick coat.
Joss, who was making the bed at the side, also looked at Master Rôme. Although they set off more than a month later than the original plan, the news of Master Rôme leaving Issen Castle still caused quite a stir. Many people came to see them off on the day of their departure, including many visitors who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Master Rôme, who almost never left home, was leaving the workshop that he had been in for hundreds of years. This was very strange in itself.
And the fact that he chose Chaos City as his destination was even more surprising.
Master Rôme did not have any special experience there in his life.
Joey and Joss could roughly guess the reason. Ever since that Mr. Meg came, Master Rôme had been preparing to move.
"It was Fat Head Fish who made me think it through. I've been living for forging my entire life, and I've forged marvelous weapons one after another. I've gained some fame, but I've never received any substantial benefits except for the endless orders and requests.
While my mind is still clear, I want to move to a new place to live. I only want to make one more weapon in the remaining time, a weapon that is different from before, "Master Rôme said with a smile as he sat by the bed.
"Then those requests that we received previously …" Joey said softly.
"Reject them all. I don't have time to make those things for them anymore." Rôme shook his head with a smile, and said, "That's not what I want to do. They don't deserve this last weapon. It has to be left for the fated one."
"Yes." Joey nodded with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Joss also stood at the side silently, and did not know what to say.
"Dwarves have to die eventually. I have lived for more than 400 years. It's long enough." Rôme looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "Speaking of which, I have never taken in a proper disciple. The two of you have suffered a lot with me. Learn well in the coming days. How much you can learn will depend on your ability and endurance."
"Yes." Joey and Joss hurriedly replied, their eyes shining brightly.

"Master, there are too many of these bad guys. Why don't we kill some of them? Leaving them alive is just a waste of food and air." In the Bastie Prison, Connie was following behind Lex. Looking at the prison that was gradually filling up, he covered his nose but was unable to block out the stench.
"Killing a person is the most lenient punishment for his crimes." Rex said expressionlessly as he broke the hand of a prisoner who was trying to pick the lock and stuffed it back in.
"Then what's the point of keeping them here?" Connie didn't understand.
"Make sure they can't die a quick death," Lex answered calmly.
Connie glanced at the cell where the fight was going on. Seven or eight prisoners were crammed into a cell that could only fit two people. It was impossible for them to live comfortably.
"Master, I'm going home the day after tomorrow. Will you go back with me?" Connie quickened his pace to catch up with Lex. He asked softly as he looked at him expectantly.
"No." Lex's answer was simple as usual.
"Master, you might lose your disciple forever like this." Connie rolled his eyes.
"It's okay. I think that every time you go out."
"Goodbye!" Connie turned and left angrily.
Ten minutes later.
"Huh? Master, why are you in front of me? "
Twenty minutes later.
"Huh? Master, what a coincidence! "
Thirty minutes later.
"Huh? Master, are you lost too? "
Lex: "…"
…
In a magnificent hall in the Marquis Manor, Bowen was pacing back and forth in the hall. He was overjoyed as he muttered to himself, "Ha, this fellow has indeed dug his own grave."
"Master, Bennett is a member of the Marquis Family after all. Will this have a negative impact on us or even implicate us?" the old butler asked worriedly.
"He's a lowly illegitimate son of a prostitute. He's afraid that others won't know his identity, so he's proclaiming that he's a member of the Marquis Family. Isn't he just coveting my position as the head of the family? However, I already knew that his money came from illegal sources. I was afraid that he would implicate us one day, so I asked the family's businesses and people to draw a line with him. Even if he committed a grave crime, it has nothing to do with the Marquis Family, "Bowen said with a relaxed smile.
"Master, you have foresight." The old butler hurriedly flattered him. He thought for a while, and said, "Master, although Bennett's brothels and gambling dens have been sealed, he has cleaned up many businesses over the years. For example, that teahouse, a few gold shops, and medicine shops. Those are all valuable shops and businesses. Now that he's in jail, the gambling dens and brothels are definitely gone, but those shops and businesses, we …"
"Since he's already in jail and committed such a grave crime, he most likely won't be able to come out. Those businesses naturally belong to the Marquis Family." The smile on Bowen's face became even brighter. He stopped in his tracks, and said to the old butler, "Go and get the emergency accountant and the manpower now. We'll go and take over those shops and businesses tomorrow morning."
"Yes," the old butler replied, and turned to leave quickly.
"The heavens are really on my side. Not only did they get rid of this scourge, Bennett, they even gave me such a generous gift. Although that Meg from Mamy's isn't a good person, I really have to thank him properly for this." Bowen laughed heartily. After taking over Bennett's businesses, the Marquis Family's power would increase significantly, and the gap between the Moreton Family and the Buffett Family would be shortened.
"It's a pity about those gambling dens and brothels. Those are the real money trees," Bowen said regretfully. He knew very well how Bennett got rich.
…
In the city lord's castle, the lights were still on in the secret chamber.
Michael looked at Rolan with a serious expression, and said, "I'm not involved in the Gray Temple's internal affairs, but we still have to deal with Mamy's incident properly. Although the two of them seem to have become more good-tempered recently, and have started to keep people alive, they're about to set off for the Twilight Forest. That's something that concerns the situation on the Norland Continent. We have to ensure that their rear is safe."
"I will investigate the matter of the Inspection Division thoroughly. Although there's no evidence that Godala was involved at the moment, I still transferred him to the reserve department to take on an idle position. The inspection of the various departments will also be carried out very soon." Rolan drew circles on the table with his finger, and said self-reproachfully, "We spent too much energy on external matters. We thought that the system would allow everything to run perfectly, but we didn't see through people's hearts."
