Chapter 18 The Emperor’s Stuff

Emperor.

For the gang scum living in Xia'an, this is not a name that is often mentioned.

Although the priests of the local state church would from time to time spread the emperor's faith to the bottom of the hive city under the escort of the female warriors of the Sisters and law enforcers, in the eyes of most of them, the so-called emperor was just a mere It's just an illusory thing that exists in legends.

On the other hand, workers who work in scrapyards and sewage treatment plants often talk about this name, as if it has a reassuring effect on them.

But if he is really as great as the priests say, why is this ghost place such a devastated scene full of suffering?

Staring at Mardo's pale and thin but smiling face, the fat man named Kaido snorted rather disdainfully, obviously full of disdain for the young man in front of him.

"snort"

"Bullshit."

After spitting thick yellow phlegm towards Mardo's feet, he took back the huge revolver, then turned around and winked at the tavern owner who was leaning against the wine cabinet.

The man who understood this clearly first drove away the remaining drinkers at the scene with his voice, and then asked people to close the surrounding windows and lock the door with a heavy iron chain. In this way, the originally lively pub It has officially become a private space.

And this is another function of this pub, it becomes a temporary meeting place for the Bad Dog Gang at critical moments.

"Boy, you paid a lot of money to send the letter to the lady. She has already read it. I don't know what you wrote in it, but our leader is indeed very interested in you. He said you are An interesting lunatic."

As he spoke, Kaido's vigilant eyes kept scanning Mardo's body. According to the contact person who sent the letter, the strange young man in front of him even sold his most valuable possessions in order to be able to contact the Vicious Dog Gang. family heirloom, and stayed alone in the nest for a long time.

"But that doesn't mean you've crossed the threshold. If you want to really meet the lady, you still have to pass me."

"You just said you could help the Vicious Dog Gang fight against heretics?"

Kaido's tone sounded so incredible, because he had heard from the priests of the national church that the so-called heretics refer to people who do not believe in the emperor. If this is true, wouldn't it mean that the entire Xia nest and the bottom Are there traces of heretics everywhere in the nest?

In fact, including Kaido and the members of the Evil Dog Gang, at most they only regularly send people to wipe the statues and stone monuments of the state religion in the territory controlled by the gang, but in the final analysis, few people will actually do it. Don't care what the Emperor is.

With a hint of curiosity, Kaido ordered another glass of "Second Best" from the tavern owner, and then handed it to Mardo.

"Tell me, who are the heretics you are referring to?"

After taking the dirty wine glass and looking at the turbid reflection full of impurities in the glass, Mardo just replied calmly.

"It's a group called the Rust Gang."

However, as soon as he said his words, he was laughed at, including the tavern owner.

"Boy, we have been fighting against each other for more than ten years with those rotten gangsters from the Rust Gang. During this period, no one could do anything to the other. But now a skinny dog ​​like you comes out and says he can help us kill Rust. help?"

"This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life."

However, after the laughter, the man named Kaido quickly changed the subject and his eyes became fierce.

"So you are making fun of us?"

Facing the man's threatening eyes, Mardo just slowly put the wine glass in his hand back on the bar, and then let out a short sigh.

"If they are still citizens of the empire under the light of the emperor, then I do not have enough power to do anything to them, but now the people of the Rust Gang have turned to another force, and heretical beliefs are changing They breed within the gang, and if they are not stopped in time, it will cause a huge disaster to Haiwen sooner or later. "

Mardo's words caused a slight change in the man's face, as if it made him think of something, but soon he looked at the man again with a serious look.

"Speak clearly to me. If you talk to me this way again, I will kill you with one shot."

"You said they fell to another force? What kind of force?"

Looking at the expression on the man's face, Mardo was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to answer this question.

"Some kind of heretical and evil sect. Those people gave their gang members abnormal powers by sacrificing sacrifices to evil gods."

As soon as these words came out, he could clearly see a brief shock flashing in the eyes of the fat man in front of him.

"If that's the case, then why don't you go to the state priests in the hive, or the battle sisters of the Silver Shroud Order, but instead go to the lower hive to look for the gang members?"

To this question, Mardo simply responded.

"Those people can't be of much help, and they have their own things to do."

Soon, under the gaze of several people, the young man continued.

"In short, I can assist you in fighting against this heretical force, thereby helping the Vicious Dog Gang achieve the final victory in this gang war."

"interesting."

"Even if what you say is true, what good will this do to you? What do you plan to get from the Vicious Dog Gang?"

As a gang member who lives in the lower nest all year round, Kaido never believes that there are fools in the world who do not ask for anything in return.

"If the situation of the lower nest can be stabilized, then I hope that your people can maintain the order of the lower nest and at the same time carry out a cleanup operation on the lower nest of Feilun. There is something I want there."

Hearing this, Kaido frowned, and even the tavern owner who was listening could not help but stop what he was doing and began to look at Mardo with a strange look.

If there are rules set by gangs in Xiachao, then Xiachao is a truly unowned land, a place where even Xiachao people are unwilling to set foot too much.

According to legend, there was once a team of law enforcers who entered the lower nest for the first time because they were not familiar with the roads in the nest. Later, when people discovered them again, there were only a dozen mutilated corpses left on the scene.

It is said that there were traces of fierce fighting at the scene, and the laser rifles in the hands of the law enforcement officers were all depleted of ammunition, but there were no clues related to the attackers left around.

It is often said that the underhives of Faerûn are inhabited by evil necromancers, and even more horrific legends abound.

In the end, after a period of thinking, Kaido, who was playing with his revolver, finally made his decision.

"I can take you to see our lady early tomorrow morning, but whether she is willing to agree to your requests is beyond my control."

However, Mardo was somewhat dissatisfied with this answer.

"Tomorrow morning? Can't we leave now? We don't have enough time."

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

Before Mardo could continue to say something, the tavern owner who had been silent for a long time spoke unhurriedly.

"The lady's residence is still some distance away from here. Traveling so far away at such a late hour is just seeking death."

"Why?"

"It is said that a man-eating monster is hiding near the lower nest."

"So far, eighteen people have died at the hands of that thing."
