Chapter 1084 Economic Depression
Southern Continent, Abydos City.
Today is the day for the expedition team to set off.
This team is about to go to the back of the Star Plateau and go deep into the Southern Continent.
Led by the officer "Grey Wolf" who is already a "Magician", more than a hundred soldiers participated.
As for the Extraordinary, there are a dozen or so low- and middle-sequence demihumans, and their leader is Nefer the Demon Hunter.
Even the half-orcs were convinced by this tall but fierce girl.
Finally, there are three 'war priests' accompanying them, and these three priests will be responsible for spreading the faith of Sifa.
On the central square of Abydos, this exploration team is being inspected by Xifa.
Standing on the high platform, Xifa looked down at the team from a high position.
After some encouragement, Xifa raised a wine glass, filled it with wine, and threw it to the ground forcefully.
Others followed suit one after another, drinking up the wine and breaking the glass.
Finally, with the sound of horns, the expedition team set off, with a resident of Abydos as a guide, leading them to the relatively safe "Old Green Forest Road".
After watching the team leave, Xifa returned to the castellan's mansion, and Katerina told him that Ebrio was waiting in the study.
study.
Xifa saw the captain of 'Celeste', a tall man with brilliant blond hair standing at the window, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ebrio turned his head, put his hands on his chest, and bowed slightly to Xifa: "Your Highness, I'm here to say goodbye."
"Are you going back?" Xifa was not surprised.
Abrio nodded and said with a smile: "Celeste is getting impatient, he doesn't like land, it has always been like this from the past."
Xifa patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you very much for your assistance, my friend, if you need my help in the future, please be sure to tell me."
"I will."
Abrio glanced at the city outside the window again: "Actually, I like this place very much."
"Unfortunately, I can't stay on land for too long."
Xifa coughed lightly: "Do you need me to lift the 'curse' for you?"
Abrio laughed: "Thank you for your kindness, but no need, because there is no one waiting for me to come back on the land."
Although he laughed heartily, there was an imperceptible sadness in his eyes.
"Then, I'm leaving." Ebrio took a deep breath and said loudly.
After getting Sifa's permission, he left the study.
After he left.
Katerina came to Xifa: "Your Highness, do you need me to keep that man?"
Xifa shook his head: "No, let him go, he has his own battlefield to go to."
Katerina took a deep look at Xifa, and then said sincerely: "You are so kind."
Xifa waved his hand and said, "I'm going to be away for a while. During my absence, you need to share more with me about the Church of War."
Katerina said with a holy face: "Follow your wishes."
After making some preparations, Xifa took Sharon with him and asked Mr. X to use 'teleportation' to send them to Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis.
The purpose of going to Intis is to get close to the Jagged Cross, and to investigate whether this organization possesses the Extraordinary characteristics of the Hunter Sequence 1.
After arriving in Trier, he changed into Intis-style clothes early in the morning, and Xifa found a hotel in a low-key manner and stayed in it first.
As a defeated country, although Trier could not see the traces of the war, the war still had an impact on the city.
The number of unemployed and homeless people on the streets has increased significantly.
Almost everywhere on the way to the hotel.
If it weren't for the fact that there are gods in this world, and if it wasn't for Evernight's desire to make a smooth transition during this period, there would be more unemployed and homeless people in Trier.
So many people were bankrupted by the war that they had to take to the streets to find relief.
And this is a relatively good situation.
Next, the situation in Intis will get worse. If it is not handled well, the country may fall into civil strife for a long time.
Xifa thought to himself, if he were the King of Loen, he would definitely intervene secretly, expand the civil strife, make Intis's national strength retreat, and no longer pose a threat in the next few decades.
This gave Ruen time to breathe and recover.
certainly.
For the disputes in these countries, Western France is not very interested now.
Due to the recession, even though Xifa did not have a valid certificate, the boss gave Xifa the key to the best room with a smile on his face after giving him an extra 20% of the rent.
After closing the door, the figure of 'Puppet' Sharon appeared in the living room without a sound, appearing next to an easy chair.
She was still wearing a black soft hat and a gothic court dress, and she was as delicate as a beautiful doll with blond hair and blue eyes.
Sharon lifted her skirt and bowed to Sifa.
Xifa stretched out his palm, and pressed his palm down.
Sharon sat down in the easy chair.
Xifa released the projection of Triss, the Witch of Despair, and asked her to pour black tea for the two of them.
During this process, Sharon just glanced at Triss, but didn't express anything.
"How is your teacher doing now?" Xifa asked casually, and took the tea from Triss.
Sharon also got a cup. She didn't reach out to take it, and the tea cup flew to her mouth.
"Teacher is in good condition." Sharon replied, and took a sip of tea.
Xifa nodded: "Then you inform him, if I need help here, I hope he can help at any time."
Sharon nodded slightly.
After slowly drinking the black tea in the cup, Xifa stood up: "I'm going to the bar."
"You stay here."
Sharon didn't object.
Xifa came to the hotel lobby, found the boss, and asked with a smile: "Is there a bar near here? The one that is exciting enough?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Then you have to go to the 'Red Fox Bar' at No. 39 Wutong Street. There are many beautiful girls there at night."
"More recently."
"Also, there are black boxing competitions in the underground area of the bar, the kind without any rules."
Sifa nodded and left the hotel.
He called a taxi outside and soon came to Wutong Street.
This street is very spacious, with phoenix trees planted on both sides, and there are many shops on the street, which belongs to a relatively prosperous area.
The unemployed and homeless are almost invisible here, and the gentlemen coming and going are well-dressed, and the depression and dilapidation of other areas are completely absent.
The street girls here are well-dressed and elegant.
Of course, the price is also high.
Even because of the economic depression after the war, it is still expensive to buy them overnight.
However, their quality is also top-notch.
The men who strike up a conversation with them are all personable.
Sifa looked away.
Soon, the destination arrived.
