The buzzer river split in two, wrapped around the land in the middle and merged again and flowed into the sea. Lloyd Beck was a city built in the middle of it.
A short walk down the combined Buzzer River led to the sea through the deepest recesses of Lloyd's Bay.
Along the natural sea, the Buzzer River and the river, I thought the city was too topographical to settle in. It's a long way from the Eastern Continent, so it's smaller than the famous cities of the South.
The total area was slightly larger than that of Yeouido and much smaller than that of Calteren. However, the densely populated buildings were unmatched by Calteren territory.
The buildings were flat on the second or third floor and the roof was sharp. Even the first floor showed a lot of brick buildings. The city is surrounded by walls of stone walls, high enough to reach the waist.
When the sun went down, not many people came to the city gate.
The group heads into the city and sees two soldiers. In this world, he was rarely dressed in uniform, armed with spears and shields. The inspection wasn't that intense in the first place, but the soldiers pretended they knew him. They were talking to Benzel, and they were looking at Albrecht.
“Is he a vertical cutter? ”
‘Fuck.’
Then, Dong Benchel asked if the rumors were true, asking for details about what happened that night.
Benchel said with a sales smile.
“I'll do that later. Since the sun is setting, I want to go to the Oyster and unwind. ”
Originally, inspections were about examining the contents of wagons, identifying them, or doing things like that, but they didn't care about that at all.
As the city itself was fraternized with gangsters in the first place, they might as well have made a fuss.
Benzel asked you to go to his‘ den ’rather than catch the inn.‘ Oysters’ were also their openly exposed sites. Its full name was "wolf's den," and it was some kind of comprehensive playground.
Albrecht's group said they had decided to meet with Rutger anyway.
As I circled the southern edge of the city and went inward, fewer and fewer beautiful buildings appeared, I saw the slums' filthy houses. A little farther, you see a three-story building the size of the modern department store on Earth.
The first floor was made of bricks and mixed with wood from the second floor. The whole wall was polished by a professional beautician. It was an enormous and magnificent building that was hard to see in this era. However, I was extremely prepared with the surrounding slums.
It was dark one night, but the bright light from the window lit up the surroundings like daylight. Albrecht and even the largest city on the North continent, Diego and women were overwhelmed in this huge and spectacular building.
Benchel's staff leads Albrecht's horse to the stable in the building. With Albrecht's axe, shield, and helmet in his saddle, Benzel enters first, while Diego's group pack up the rest of the supplies.
As Benzel enters, a distinctive chest sounds before entering, like a modern club on Earth, and then a wacky rumble pops out of the door.
“Wow, look who it is. It's Benzel!”
“Son of a bitch came back alive! Khh.”
“You didn't come back here looking for anything good. Idiot!”
“How's the bottom guard doing? Haha!”
They hear their own rough but welcoming greeting.
“Shut up, you idiots. ”
Benchel was also violently rewarded.
Albrecht opens the door.
Except for a few rooms, the entire first floor was being used as a barrel, with countless lanterns, candles and a long central furnace fully illuminating the interior.
And there was a mess in front of me that I could not even imagine what I would see in this age.
There were people who poured their primal desires without subtraction, such as vomiting, fighting, sleeping on the ground, sitting on their knees, sucking and rubbing their women, and even having sex with women, gambling, and drinking-out to prostitutes who were doing strip shows on long tables. The noise this frenzied Harmony makes seems to belong to nothing but hell.
Albrecht's group is stunned by this sinful, vulgar and overwhelming sight. Diego and the women had seen some strange sights in Lucretia, but it was the first time they were all jumbled in one room.
The door that Benchel entered was a sort of executive entrance, so there was a long bar right in front of him, where the lower ranking members of the stolen guild were relatively polite (?) It was a playground.
As Albrecht enters the wolf den, the glances of those who welcomed him come together to Albrecht.
Albrecht stares at them expressionlessly.
One small question asked Benchell.
“Do you?”
Benzel nods without answering.
Unlike the people I've met on the road so far, they didn't avoid the eyes in fear. He looks up and down at Albrecht, a little nervous.
Benzel expressed his deepest apologies to Albrecht.
“Sir, I'm so sorry. Our Vigilante Leader will go up and tell him to get the knight. May I?”
It was rude to keep the nobleman waiting without letting him greet you, so Benzel asked very politely.
Albrecht nods as if it was nothing.
Benchel said to the bartender,
“Hey. Bring the knight a glass of the finest Southern wine. ”
“There's no such thing on the first floor. ”
The bartender said bluntly.
Benzel was embarrassed and said, noticing Albrecht.
“Damn it. Bring me the most expensive one. ”
The bartender still filled the glass with beer with a blunt expression.
Benzel makes room with an exaggerated gesture and seats Albrecht.
“Come on, sit over here. I'll be right back. ”
Then I climbed up the burinake stairs.
Albrecht sits down, sipping a pint of beer. I was drinking. Diego's group stands at the back of Albrecht.
The former junior executives at the bar turned off this side for a moment and talked amongst themselves.
Benzel didn't come down for a long time until Albrecht drank half a cup of invisible beer. Nevertheless, Albrecht stared at me and saw a pretty big guy staring at him in the middle of the subordinate executives.
Albrecht also glanced at him fearlessly. But he didn't think to look away. There was an unnecessary eye fight. Albrecht gets up and walks toward you.
The junior executives who were talking stopped talking and watched the situation.
“Why? Do you have something to say? ”
He glances down at the junior executive, whom Albrecht is sitting on.
I grew a beard that looked just like a bandit. He was taller than Albrecht. He looks down at Albrecht and says,
“Nothing to say? ”
As soon as the heavy horse dropped, Albrecht grabbed his lower jaw. Then the junior executives pulled the dagger together.
“You won't be needing this unless you have something to say. ”
He tries to shake Albrecht's arm with both hands, but he doesn't move.
Albrecht squeezes the hand that was holding his chin and breaks it.
“Shut up......”
The poor man sat down and complained of the pain.
Albrecht looks at the junior executives and says,
“If you pulled out your knife, you should use it. What are you guys doing? ”
No one just stumbled.
At that moment, Hefty pulls the dagger from his waist and stabs Albrecht.
Albrecht simply grabs the hand holding this long dagger. Then I broke his knee with my foot against the kick.
“Ahhhh!”
I tried to sit still, but my knees turned the other way.
Albrecht empowers the hand that was holding the heavy hand to stab himself in the eye.
I stabbed him slowly on purpose. Heavy shouted when he was stabbed in the eye with his own hand by an irresistible force. You swing your other arm to punch Albrecht in the face, but the arm is also caught in a block.
As the dagger draws closer to its eye, Hegeman glances at Albrecht and the dagger alternately, howling like crazy.
A desperate cry echoes through my chin.
“Ahh! Ahh! Aaaah!"
“Why? You said you had nothing to say? ”
Albrecht did not stop. The dagger touches the heavy eye. A thick scream erupts. But Albrecht didn't stop. His body fluttered like a fish coming out of the water. You stab the dagger slowly until it reaches the handle. When it reached the brain, the heavy body caused a bizarre convulsion and began to shrink.
Subordinate executives are overwhelmed and frozen.
What was tragic for Heghan was that the frenzy of the wolf den feast was escalating even after a miserable scene unfolded on one side.
Albrecht stands, looking back, and Benzel comes down. You stare at this side, frozen with your mouth just wide open. After that, you see a man with a longitudinal scar around his left eye. The big, sharp eyes and the dazzling blue eyes seemed to see a ferocious wolf. He smiled with a satisfied smile.
“Sir, I'm sorry I'm late. Welcome to Wolf Den. ”
