quicksilver blood

Chapter 67 The Dark Crow
There is no order that cannot be destroyed.

There is nothing more stupid than to restrain a group of extremely chaotic beings into order.

These guys who crawled out of the gutter themselves have no desire for such things as rules.The reason why they follow the rules here is only because they want to be sheltered.

But conversely, they enjoy the rights of forming a group, but they don’t want to pay the obligations of forming a group—in other words, each of them wants to be the only one who is not bound by the rules here, and everyone wants to be a special minority. The presence.

Such ideas come from existing special cases.

The street managers who actually exist around them are special cases of not being restrained. They do not benefit from obeying the rules, but gain more benefits because of their privilege of disobeying the rules.

Because of these exceptions, this imperfect patchwork of rules is messed up and in jeopardy.

Everyone wants more benefits, even if they don't pay for it, even if they don't have the corresponding talents-but it doesn't matter.Anyway, there is already a special case, and it is possible to control the existence of a street with or without talent.

This special case is the poison that dissolves in blood, which gives them an excuse to disobey the rules, a reason for them to think that they are noble and go to death.

As long as a few people are poisoned like this, the inherent order will soon begin to collapse.

——People don't need anything.What they lack is just a leader, a sacrifice who will go to the front and open the door to a new era even though they know they will die.

It is ironic that this kind of sacrifice does not come from noble self-sacrifice more often, but from short-sightedness, stupid plans, and ambitions far beyond the limits of one's ability to bear.

Roland did almost nothing.After he came out from the professor, he found someone casually and told him the news that the Throat Smashing Rod was going to fight the Green Fruit Lock.

With the help of the dark crow, this rumor, which was correct but without evidence, began to spread in Broken Throat Avenue at an extremely fast speed.It even reached the ears of the Silent Wizard himself.

But it doesn't matter.

This is the fact, there is nothing to deny.

He thought like this without making any clarification on the rumors.

He thought that a non-fabricated rumor would not cause any negative effects, but in fact, most of the time, the destructiveness of a rumor was not in the content of the rumor, but in the rumor itself.

The rumor was just one in the beginning.

But when it began to proliferate exponentially, and the scope of transmission was limited to one area, everyone began to hear the plural, multiple versions of the first rumor in a short time, but the essence of the same "more internal information".

People who could still ignore it rationally at first began to realize the abnormality from the frequency of these rumors.

Even though there was nothing wrong with the news, he began to subconsciously search for—or guess at—what went wrong.

In everyone's mind, there is a subconscious belief that there is some deeper reason for all non-daily situations.It would be fine if there were investigation channels, but a larger number of ordinary people can only make up the reasons for various abnormalities by themselves, and then start to scare themselves.

In order to prevent themselves from being frightened, or to dilute their uneasiness, they will try their best to spread rumors with personal characteristics.

This situation is more obvious in the city of wealth where there is almost no restraint, and the crowd itself tends to be chaotic.

The silent wizard himself is an outsider, and he does not realize how powerful the unrestrained rumors are in an area that is maintained by extremely fragile rules; but the raven is keenly aware of this, and cuts the words into swords , pierced fiercely into the vital point of the Rod of Broken Throat.

Roland stood in the dark alley where no one was paying attention, showing a joyful smile that was almost mocking.

Indeed, under Roland's deliberate inducement, the Raven's people did realize the lethality of rumors, and began to prepare to use rumors as weapons to regain the territory of Broken Throat Avenue.But……

——Too petty.

No matter how fierce the internal strife in the city of fortune, no matter how terrifying the number of powerful people in the city of fortune, no matter how rich the city of wealth is, there is one thing that cannot be denied: it is just a city.And it's just a city in the Principality.

The reason it was not conquered was not because of its own strength, but because it involved too many relationships, which could not be cleared up for a while.

It's like two chess players who are proud of their status and don't bother to flip the table.But the chessboard thought that he had restrained the two people and couldn't move - this level of stupidity was beyond redemption.

Roland watched quietly for about two hours, and then found that the raven seemed to be just spreading rumors in various places, but did not leave himself even a way out.

If Roland remembers correctly, the Rod of Broken Throat—that is, the Rod of Silence at the beginning was able to crush Raven directly from the position of the street manager with the ability of almost all-round crushing, and it took no more than a day in total.Even the surrounding streets have been arranged in advance, and the road of the crow calling for help is also blocked.

Although the Raven was so weak that it was wiped out before calling for help, this backup was useless.

But it is such a weak organization that thinks that it can control the terrible rumors that can defeat the Throat Smashing Rod that defeated it.

Probably because he was confident that since he was the one who started the rumor, he would definitely be able to restrain it.

This stupid and cute move almost made Roland laugh.

It is indeed an organization composed of several assassins.In Roland's view, the assassin profession is no different from the berserker in a sense. Anyway, they are both violent professions that use all their brains to kill people.The only difference is whether the muscles filled in the brain are red or white.

If the leader of these assassins was a wizard, an alchemist or a priest - even a sly wizard, it would at least prevent their plan from being so stupid. They would take one step at a time without thinking about the next step.

It has to be said that Marcus is much better than them, at least under his brief rule, the people here can live in a relatively stable environment.And his plan is obviously linked together.

The reason why Marcus's status may be destroyed by such a simple means as rumors is just because his mission in the City of Fortune has failed and he was about to leave here, so naturally he no longer cares about the Broken Throat Avenue. That’s all.

The Raven's people took this as an opportunity, a fatal flaw that Marcus showed carelessly.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the life and death of these pig teammates. It is just in line with Roland's wishes to let them throw off the Throat Smashing Rod and die.Otherwise, Roland would really have a headache to death over how to move this group of scammers.

Then, I can't be idle anymore.

Roland subconsciously tightened his suitcase and walked to the next street.

Just like what Roland did before he went to find the professor - buying those ignorant vagrants with ghost coins to spread a few words for him, probably no problem, right?
Anyway, the chaotic storm has already rolled up, it is better to blow bigger.Spreading anxiety and uneasiness to the entire city of wealth will be of unimaginable help to Roland's next plan.

As for what the next step is...

The professor gave Roland a lot of good things, all of which are cute little things that can Boom.Roland wanted to find a few better places to place them.

——They are the protagonists of the first act of this drama.

Well, I went to the post bar today, and found that there are very few people in the post bar... (Yuanmu)

Although the post bar for this book is just a symbolic thing, why don’t you pay attention to it (thumping the ground)
...Okay, okay, we will post it when we find time.And more importantly, the book friend group number is in the last line of the introduction, remember to add it (tea)
Also, although we don't know when we will be on the shelves, we will open an investigation on the eve of the launch, and the content is about the emotional route of this book.It was originally planned to be ambiguous with a single heroine or no heroine, but recently, the god of crabs has been a little fierce, and I have already cut off the scenes of two female characters...

So, generally speaking, the candidate options should be four types: "firm single female protagonist", "ambiguous single female protagonist", "firm no female protagonist", and "ambiguous no female protagonist".Don't worry, this matter can't be rushed... (tea)
