Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 339: Accidental Harvest

With a bang, some fine objects landed on the table. Lucy, who was working, looked up and saw that they were all small personal items, such as pocket watches, knives, some exquisite tools, and a money bag.

"I thought that guy would have something valuable on him, but he didn't have anything," said Belmond, shaking his head.

These things were taken from Ollie, of course, before handing the thief over to Edward. Belmond selectively left something behind, such as a ring with the Storm City logo, in the hidden pocket of Ollie's jacket. It looked valuable, but it could prove Ollie's identity, so Belmond could only endure the pain and keep it.

As for the rest, they naturally went into his pocket.

He opened his purse and found a small pile of silver coins inside. Seemingly pretty and weighty, Belmond picked up one and tossed it upwards. "Sure enough, the money is real, no matter which planet it is on."

Seeing the silver coins tossing out a beautiful silver curve in space, Belmond felt extremely comfortable. Lucy smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to continue the deciphering work, the silver bracelet in her hand suddenly fluctuated violently. The silver-winged killer flashed through a silver trajectory and pounced towards the silver coin like a silver spider in midair. He pulled back his limbs and hugged the silver coin down tightly.

Belmond stared blankly at the sudden appearance of the silver spider before he reacted and shouted, "What is this? Hey, give me back my silver coins."

He reached out to grab the Silver Spider, and one of its segmental limbs slashed towards it like lightning. The small toothpick-like limbs drew out a sharp whistle of wind. Belmond let out a strange cry, and a short blade slid out of his sleeve, striking the joint with a tinkling sound. The silver spider was actually not as big as a slap, but the force coming from the dagger was not small. Belmond shouted and slid away.

The Silver Winged Killer ignored him. He opened his mouth and tore off the silver coins at an extremely fast speed before eating them. Belmond opened his mouth and pointed at the Silver Spider, "You actually ate the silver coin. You monster, give it back to me."

Unexpectedly, the Silver Spider was not satisfied after eating a silver coin. His knuckles moved and he quickly flew towards the money pouch. Belmond emitted a radiance of Origin Energy, his dagger trembling slightly, clearly desperate for his own property and the Silver Spider.

"Mr. Belmond!" Lucy hurriedly called him, "Please don't make a move. I will compensate you for all your losses."

Belmond was stunned and forced to laugh dryly, "That's not necessary. It's just a bag of silver coins. It can't be said to be a loss. But Miss Lucy, your pet's rations are a little too high."

Lucy laughed and said, "It's called No.7. It's an artificial intelligence machine, not a pet."

Without Belmond's obstruction, Number Seven had already eaten a bag of silver coins in the blink of an eye. Its body had obviously expanded a little, and there were flickering lines on its surface. Moments later, Number Seven spat out more scraps of iron. Seeing that a bag of silver coins had turned into scraps of iron, Belmond could only sigh dryly.

"Number seven, what are you doing?" Lucy waved her hand and asked.

The Silver Spider crawled back, its silhouette melting, turning into a silver liquid bullet in mid-air, which condensed into the shape of a bracelet on Lucy's wrist.

"It's Times silver, Master. I detected the composition of the silver coins and swallowed them. If I can get more of these coins, it will help me recover my body."

Lucy asked in surprise, "Times Silver?"

She looked at Belmond and said, "Where did these silver coins come from?"

"It came from an unlucky ghost." "That fellow is from Storm City," Belmond told the truth. "He has the Storm City logo on his silver coins. It should be their own silver coins. Miss Lucy, what is Temes silver?"

"It's a rare metal. It shouldn't be used only to make coins." Lucy's eyes were burning with jade-green flames, and the girl suddenly exuded a high aura. "What a waste! To actually use Temes silver to make coins, something even more precious than platinum!"

"However, this is truly an unexpected harvest!"

Belmond fled the hall in a sorry state as the girl let out a series of excited laughter.

A loud laugh rushed into Old Roark's ears, causing his hand to shake and he almost dropped the wine cup in his hand to the ground. He looked worriedly at the bar, which was full of people. After a portion of the adventurers left Sur City in the morning, the rest spontaneously gathered in the bar. They sat in twos and threes in every corner of the bar, occasionally laughing loudly.

Old Roark also heard about the corpse of the adventurer in front of the City Lord's Mansion. It was said that the reckless fellow wanted to steal something from the City Lord's Mansion, but was killed by the guards. Now, the owner of the corpse had already given him the name of a spy, and the details would be announced later.

Facing the high-profile and tough actions of the young City Lord, most of the adventurers chose to avoid them. Although the bounty was large, it still required a Fate Flower. However, more people read out the mission for which the bounty was offered, and it seemed that there was something else unusual about it. This smell was slowly fermenting with Edward's response. Almost everyone who was slightly more sensitive could already smell the smell of blood spreading between the two cities.

Most people guessed that Mo De's bounty was not simple, but the amount of money Mo De offered was more than a hundred thousand, yet it was enough to drive a true fugitive. They could even ignore Mo De's true intentions. Anyway, as long as they brought back what Mo De had designated, he would have to honestly pay the bounty for whatever the Baron of Storm City was planning. Otherwise, he would face the wrath of the adventurers.

However, there was another reason why this group of people from the bar stayed behind. That was because Sur City did not have any praiseworthy experts, or an army as powerful as Storm City. The lack of experts and armies made the adventurers think that if something could not be done, no one could stop them if they wanted to leave.

As for the corpse that was still hanging in the small square, the name of that unlucky fellow was unknown, so one could tell that his strength was not that good either.

As Ollie's temporary companion, Kiera was in a wonderful mood. She did not feel sorry for that fellow, nor did she feel that Ollie's death would cause any loss to her team. She stayed, of course, not to avenge Ollie, but to be lucky with the bounty that Maud was offered.

Another person entered through the door.

Kira's eyes lit up. It was Belmond.

Due to the silver coins being eaten by Number Seven, Belmond's mood was somewhat depressed. Originally, he had only planned to go to the bar, but he did not expect to receive many unclear gazes as soon as he entered. Belmond was in a bad mood as he secretly channeled his Origin Energy. His eyes immediately lit up and he returned the greeting with an incomparably sharp gaze. As a result, those who met his gaze couldn't help but lower their heads, unable to resist Belmond's murderous gaze. At the same time, they were secretly shocked by where this man had come from.

Belmond saw Kira from many different angles of view. The latter raised his arms and signaled. He put away his gaze and shrugged as he walked over.

Kira kicked away a man who was playing cards on the table and asked him to empty his chair. The man scolded a few times, but walked away tactfully. Belmond's hand was enough to win the chair just now.

"You were quite fierce just now." Kira poured Belmond a glass of wine.

Belmond gulped down, "That's to avoid unnecessary trouble. Hey, I thought you guys had left long ago."

"Since you dare to stay here, why do we have to leave Babadi? You know, we have a lot of people." Kira sat down beside him and said, "What do you think about that?"

"I think it's a good time to break up," Belmond said with a serious expression.

Kira frowned and wanted to say something. Belmond put his hand over her mouth and said, "Trust me, Kira. You're being used. My advice is to get out of here now and not step into this mess again."

The sound of footsteps rang out at this moment. Old Rock raised his head and saw that the captain of the city defense team, Matto, had entered first, followed by the soldiers with guns. There were about a dozen of them in total, and then another group of warriors rushed in. These warriors wore strange armor. These armors were very thin, and their materials did not resemble ordinary steel. The armor was covered with lines, and the guns in the hands of these soldiers were unexpectedly rough, causing Old Roark's heart to beat non-stop.

Finally, a tall man dragged a dark brown warhammer into the bar. The air in the bar suddenly became dry and irritable, making people suspicious of being in the desert.

Matto's gaze swept across the bar and after pausing for a moment on Belmore's body, he cleared his throat and said, "On behalf of Sir Edward, the City Lord, I extend a sincere invitation to you. Sir Edward is planning to meet you at Sabis Temple. Time is running out. Please come with me."

Matto said twice in a row, but no one was willing to stand up. "Well said, how do we know if this is a trap?" A big man who was obviously drunk clapped his hands.

He immediately got the support of his companions. Someone slapped the table and said, "Your City Lord will see us. Let him come to the bar. We won't go to the War God Temple."

Matto said coldly, "Listen, I don't want to use tough methods. But if you don't cooperate, I think you might use some force."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Everyone, don't be fooled. They just want to find an opportunity to catch us all."

Under this person's provocation, the adventurers were excited, and they all went forward to confront the city guards. Kira wanted to join them as well, not wanting to be pulled back by Belmore the moment she stood up. Belmond looked at her and smiled, "Sit down for your own good."
