… …
Ma Wen had no idea what was happening in the Forest of Thousand Leaves.
He went all the way south and arrived at Riverbeach City.
Along the way, he found that there were more people walking on the main road.
These people seemed to be leaving Riverbeach City.
They looked panicked, and some were even dressed quite luxuriously, but they could only walk.
Among these people, there were even some officials from the City Hall. When Ma Wen first asked for help from the City Hall of Riverbeach City, he was often looked down upon by them.
"So it really happened … the purge of the higher-ups of Riverbeach City."
Ma Wen thought to himself as he walked.
The great change in Riverbeach City seemed to be a little earlier than in history, and it could also be due to his influence.
This had something to do with the early appearance of the City Lord of Riverbeach City.
She was also a quasi-legendary sorceress on the same level as Hathaway — a peak level-four professional.
However, she wasn't as lucky as Hathaway, who was a Heavenly Awakened. On the eve of her advancement to legendary, the Magic Pool of the Universe collapsed. Although she withstood the waves of Will checks caused by the chaotic magic that was injected into her body, her strength was forever stuck at level-20, and she could no longer advance.
If it weren't for the fact that Riverbeach City was the birthplace of a large number of players, with countless players who were called "Golden Sons" as heroes, Riverbeach City might have been destroyed in a monster riot.
…
Ma Wen entered Riverbeach City and found that it was much more deserted than when he left. There weren't many people on the street, and the empty road gave people a sense of depression.
But in fact, the previous prosperity of Riverbeach City was a false prosperity.
A lot of dirty trade existed, and the officials of the City Hall colluded with various low-level nobles and merchants to exploit the civilians.
Huge amounts of wealth circulated in the hands of a few people, and all kinds of unreasonable systems ran rampant. Gang fights were frequent, and people died in the slums every day.
Many teenagers, because they didn't have a job to make a living, could only choose to join the gangs and become the lowest level of cannon fodder.
These dark corners, hidden under the prosperous appearance, could only be felt when one went deep into the night of the city to understand the disgusting smell of blood.
However, the situation had taken a huge turn for the better.
Because the acting city lord had been removed, the real owner of River Beach City had walked out of her wizard tower and ended her three-year-long retreat.
She consolidated her strength at the level of 20 quasi-Legendary-realm and began to manage her territory. In the Southern Wizard Alliance, her noble title was on the lower side, only a viscount.
However, this had nothing to do with her strength. It was just that the area controlled by River Beach City was too small. If she was willing to open up the wilderness for the Alliance, the title of Earl was more than enough.
In short, after the Castellan reappeared in the public eye, the atmosphere in River Beach City improved for a long time.
Even the Black Ganoderma Poison incident that had caused a lot of panic a while ago seemed to have been controlled by the chief wizards and the knights of the Silver Church.
The people on the streets were discussing the source of the plague. Guderian, the Silver Knight, was mentioned the most frequently.
It seemed that Guderian had contributed the most to the arrest of the Disciples of the Plague who had spread the Black Poison!
The name "Dual-bladed Mask" was also mentioned repeatedly.
When Ma Wen heard this, he could not help but smile.
In his reply to Anna, he mentioned that he had Agate and Amber disguise themselves as Dual-bladed Mask and kill a few evil people in River Beach City, then deliberately spread the news.
Anna must have carried out Ma Wen's reply. Otherwise, there would not be so many rumors about Dual-bladed Mask in River Beach City.
His legend in the relevant areas had increased a little.
Moreover, these legends tended to be positive. People's evaluation of Dual-bladed Mask was no longer the cold killer who single-handedly wiped out the Akron Mafia, nor was it the cruel criminal who killed the Miller family alone. More often than not, he was a warm-hearted man who did chivalry everywhere.
This made Ma Wen very satisfied.
…
"So, you're saying that most of the public opinion was spread by you? To describe Miller as a rich and heartless businessman or even a member of a heretic cult? Portraying Dual-bladed Mask as a hero. "
Ma Wen asked.
In a quiet alley, Phantom Assassin Kyle Amber met up with Ma Wen again.
Ma Wen had left him in River Beach City to keep an eye on Dosiloya, a nobleman from a city in the north. He seemed to have been coveting the White River Valley for a long time.
Information was always the most important. Sometimes, knowing a little more about the enemy would increase your chances of winning many times!
Amber shook his head. "I found a poor bard. This guy has a dirty mouth, but he's good with words.
The most important thing is that this person has no limits. As long as you give him money, he's willing to do anything.
Moreover, what I told him to spread was the truth. "
Ma Wen nodded. In this matter, Phantom Assassin did a great job.
But he was more concerned about another matter.
"How's Dosiloya? And the Bobcat Squad. "
Ma Wen asked.
He didn't forget that when he was recovering the White River Valley, the Bobcat Squad had repeatedly tried to harm him!
Cat Head Verne even tried to get the Punishment Knights of River Beach City to kill him after he conquered the White River Valley!
As for Dosiloya, this guy and Miller obviously had the same idea. He was probably involved in getting the Gnolls.
No matter where he came from, there was only one way for Ma Wen to deal with someone who dared to harm the thing he was protecting!
That was to kill!
He had tolerated it before because he wanted to find out who the person behind the Bobcat Squad was.
Now, it was time to act.
…
Amber's intelligence work in River Beach City was very competent.
He immediately told Ma Wen everything he knew.
Sure enough, River Beach City had undergone earth-shattering changes while Ma Wen was away!
The real mayor replaced the acting mayor and began to implement a series of purges.
More than half of the officials in the city hall were fired and one-third were expelled!
Moreover, all of these people's assets were confiscated!
For the first time, the Chief Wizard Group was mobilized. They cooperated with the guards of River Beach City and Punishment Knights, with the full support of the Silver Church.
Everything was done in a hurry.
The toughness of the mayor was evident.
The nobles and City Hall officials that Marvin had seen on the official road were the ones who had been expelled. They were expelled from River Beach City and could only find ways to make a living elsewhere.
Then, there was a large-scale law to kill the Plague Followers. This played a great role in stopping the spread of the Black Ganoderma.
Just as the Black Ganoderma started to stir up trouble, it was strangled in the cradle. Of course, Ma Wen had a part to play in this. If he hadn't killed the Plague Messenger who was the mastermind, the officials of River Beach City wouldn't have it so easy.
During this period, a strict curfew and interrogation system was implemented. The whole of River Beach City was shrouded in a strong pressure.
This was the deterrence of a top wizard. Even if he wasn't a Legendary, it was enough to intimidate all the forces in River Beach City.
At times like this, the poorer the people were, the more at ease they felt. Their lives were finally partially guaranteed.
And in this purge operation, Dosiroja was also involved.
Due to his background, the mayor of River Beach City didn't confiscate his assets, but only banished him.
However, as far as Hu Po knew, this guy didn't leave River Beach City immediately after being banished!
He seemed to have set up a temporary camp in the wilderness near River Beach City, secretly planning something.
Because Dosiloya's entourage had an anti-stealth expert, Hu Po didn't dare to get too close, so he didn't get any information about what Dosiloya was planning.
He only knew that the location of the camp was in a small col between River Beach City and the White River Valley!
...
"It's near the White River Valley."
"This guy really doesn't know when to stop."
A murderous look flashed in Ma Wen's eyes, "Then, what about the Lynx Squad?"
"The Lynx Squad seems to have been arrested by the mayor because they colluded with many high-ranking officials in the City Hall."
"Now, all six of them are locked up in a jail cell in the north of the city."
Hu Po answered quickly.
"Jail cell?" Ma Wen frowned.
Dosiloya's actions gave him a bad premonition.
However, it was impossible for him to find the other party on his own.
He needed an entry point to figure out what this guy was trying to do!
...
North of River Beach City, Black Water Prison.
Two guards were holding a skinny young man as they walked inside.
The sky was too dark to see the young man's face clearly.
"What's this guy doing?" The person in charge of registration asked.
"Breaking the curfew and running around in the dark. Does he really think that the city's martial law is fake?"
The guard's tone was a little helpless.
The young man looked a little scared, probably not knowing what was going on.
"At least a week. Lock him up in Number 7. "The person in charge of registration looked at the young man and felt that he was not a threat, so he let him go.
Ten minutes later, the cell was locked with a creak. Ma Wen and a few strong men were locked up in a small cell.
"Yo, newcomer …" A man with a naked upper body covered in tattoos revealed an ugly smile, "You're quite handsome."
From the other corners of the cell, there was a burst of perverted laughter.
A sharp voice said, "Mending, don't use too much strength. The last one was killed by you on the second day."
"We didn't even have the chance to have a taste."
"Go easy this time, let this kid live a few more days."
The tattooed man laughed and said, "What a f * cking load of nonsense."
"Hey, kid, come and lick …"
He hadn't even finished speaking when a heavy fist smashed onto his face, and then the sound of teeth breaking resounded!
The cell suddenly fell silent!
