Chapter 326 - Blue Lawless City
Chapter 326 - Blue Lawless City
A few days ago, an unknown man arrived in this small village. That man was extremely powerful as his strength was at the peak of B-rank. Clearly, stronger than Juds who was an ordinary B-rank.
No one in the entire village knows that man except for him. That man was an executive of the Moon Tower of the Blue Lawless City.
At first, Juds was shocked to find a powerful B-rank at his door but was even more shocked to see the executive of Moon Tower have an injured body.
Who could injure an executive of Moon Tower in this place? There were only a few people that he knew that could injure such person.
The executive asked him to bring out his best health potion and he complied. He had no choice as the executive will kill him and his family. No, he would survive as the executive was injured but what about his family. If a fight between two B-rank occurred in his house then there’s no doubt this his daughter who was an ordinary child would die.
That’s why he followed the executive. He did everything that he could.
The executive stayed in his house for one night and he threatened him not to divulge any information about this or else Juds and his family would die.
The information about the little girl with green hair was top secret. If anyone knew about it, Juds would die.
The next morning, the executive left his house with the little girl. They consumed all of his health potions that Juds’ reserved for his family.
’Blue Lawless City... It feels familiar but...’ Souta rubbed his chin and he turned to Juds. He asked about the Moon Tower and the Blue Lawless City.
The Blue Lawless City was a large city in the middle of the Sky High Mountain Peaks. It wasn’t under the wing of any other country. In fact, the top management of this city wanted to make the Blue Lawless City a country of its own but it required five approval of small countries or one large country.
What’s scary in this city was the people that were living there? Most of the people in that city were bandits or criminals from other countries. This was the reason why no small countries acknowledge this city.
There were three powers that governed the entire Blue Lawless City. The Moon Tower, Cloud Tower, and the Sea Tower. These three towers were the dictator of the city and everyone feared the strength they possessed.
In this city where strength matters the most, the overlord could be changed easily if a powerful person arrived. That’s what always happened in the past but these three towers were ruling the city for almost five years and not once they haven’t lost to a challenger who wished to rule the city.
"The leader of the Moon Tower is a man called Curdova. He’s a brutal man that killed anyone who disobeyed him. Just a simple mistake, he will kill his subordinates." Juds slowly explained to him the Moon Tower.
Souta knew about this one. He learned it from interrogating the man who chasing Cl.u.s.ter in the Deeps Woods. Now that he thinks about it, he recalled that man saying that their base was in the mountain peaks between the Melosa Country and the Barbarian Kingdom.
A few months had passed so what happened there was already in the back of his mind. If not for this, he wouldn’t recall that information.
Curdova was the leader of the Moon Tower and he had seven executives that were helping him in ruling the tower. Bryan defeated one of them so there were six executives left.
Judging from the information, the minimum level of an executive was a high-level B-rank. So... with their current group, it will be hard to fight the Moon Tower head-on. They should expect that half of the executives were at the level of A-rank.
Lumilia, Lynn, Alice, Yujin, and Yuko would be enough to fight the Moon Tower? Well, his goal was to rescue Cl.u.s.ter first before he deals with those people. If the Deadly Sins didn’t attack today, Souta brought bring his entire legion to destroy the Moon Tower.
There was another reason why Juds was afraid of the Moon Tower. The Moon Tower has a total of twenty-one villages under its wing and Rensmaw was one of it.
The villages knew nothing about it. They were even oblivious to the existence of Blue Lawless City. Only the higher-ups knew that they were under the rule of Moon Tower.
So if the guild master objected the Moon Tower, they would have a reason to attack them and loot everything in the town.
Juds slowly told him everything that he knew about the seven executives and the leader of the Moon Tower.
Souta, Alice, and Yujin just listened to him without interrupting him.
"Are you sure that everything that you’ve said is true?" Souta asked Juds one more time.
"Yes, I’ve already told you everything. If you couldn’t defeat the Moon Tower, then our town is next as I’m the one who gives you their information." Juds said in a low tone.
"Don’t worry about the Moon Tower. As long as no one reached S-rank among them, then we had a chance to destroy them." Souta said as he placed his hand in his pocket and took out a platinum coin. "Here, use it to rebuild the things that I’ve destroyed."
...
On the next morning, Souta and the rest left the Rensmaw village. This time, they had a huge lead. A city in the middle of the Sky High Mountain Peaks, the Blue Lawless City.
The Rensmaw village was two days away from the Sky High Mountain Peaks so they had no choice but to camp.
If they went to the other villages, then it will take them three to four days.
Souta’s group did nothing but training while they were traveling. In a short amount of time, they managed to increase their strength by five percent.
The group arrived one kilometer away from the city. The city was surrounded by dozens of huge mountains. They were on the top of one of the mountains looking down at the city.
They could see that this city was larger than Ladros City and the population of the city surpassed fifty thousand.
The city was divided into three districts and each district had a huge eye-catching tower. These three towers must be the Moon Tower, Cloud Tower, and the Sea Tower. The three ruling forces of the Blue Lawless City.
"So that’s the Blue Lawless City...?" Souta muttered as he looked at the huge city in front of him.
"It’s quite huge... No wonder they wanted the other country to approve their proposal to become a country." Lumilia muttered while looking at the city.
"Their target is one of them. There’s a chance that we will fight the three of them as they are all residents of this city while we are just outsiders." Yujin said.
"Isn’t that bad?" Lynn asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, it’s bad. That’s why we’ll not rush ourselves. We’ll gather information first before we proceed to rescue Cl.u.s.ter." Souta replied to her.
"If that happens, we’ll have to fight the forces of the whole city with a few people," Alice said.
"Well, let’s go and enter the city."
Souta’s group went down the mountain. Entering the city wasn’t hard as there’s no need for an identification card as most of the people here were bandits, thieves, or fugitives.
In other words, anyone could enter the city. The only problem was that killing wasn’t prohibited in the city. People were fighting across the streets and there were even dead bodies in the corner of the city.
They entered the city without any problem. They were wearing a simple brown color cloak. It wasn’t suspicious as some of the people were wearing the same cloak.
"Let’s find an inn first." Souta suggested to his comrades and they agreed to him.
They walked around and saw a lot of people fighting in the streets. After a few minutes, they found a decent inn. The rent wasn’t high as it could only cost him ten bronze coins for one night.
"We don’t know where’s the Moon Tower so we had to gather information first. The structure of the tower and the staff inside are all the things that we needed to know."
Inside the room, Souta explained his plan. This city doesn’t have adventurers guild so they couldn’t gather information there. They had to find some people who sell information or ask some drunkard in the pub.
Souta divided his group into two teams. The team one was Souta and Lynn while the team two was Yujin and Lumilia. Alice decided to stay in the inn to observe the things that were happening here.
"Okay, we’ll go now. You have to be careful. Don’t engage in a battle if you’ve found Cl.u.s.ter’s whereabout." Souta said to them before he left the room with Lynn.
"I understand. We’ll go in the east tower to see which force ruled there." Yujin said.
