Chapter 61: Chapter 61, Freedom City

Such an attitude made everyone’s heart pound and they felt uneasy.

The leader was a wealthy merchant.

He did not kneel on the ground. At this moment, he was standing at the very front and facing the long-bearded man with great pressure.

Faced with such a threat, he had no choice but to put in a good word.

“Sir, you are right. This surname Yu was indeed thoughtless and offended you.”

!!

“Since this is your first offense, I won’t hold it against you.”

The long-bearded man frowned, “Leave quickly! If you come to cause trouble again, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

The wealthy merchant looked at the long saber at his waist and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. However, he still braced himself and said, “Your Lordship, it’s not that I don’t trust the soldiers and His Highness the Eighteenth Prince.”

“It’s just that I’m a merchant, I rely on the few goods at home to support my family. Now, I can’t even sell them in Glory City, I can’t even exchange a bag of food for them…”

“The beast tide can last for a few months at least or half a year at most. If it continues like this, even if our entire family doesn’t die in the mouths of mutated beasts, I’m afraid we’ll starve to death at home…”

The long-bearded man was calm and collected.

“Don’t worry, I’ve long given the order to prepare and store food for the citizens of the city.”

“When the time comes, we’ll naturally not forget your portion.”

“Although the quota is a little low and the ingredients aren’t that exquisite, it’s enough for your daily needs, you won’t starve to death.”

As he spoke, the man went up and patted the rich merchant’s shoulder. He smiled faintly and said, “Glory City is the place where you were born and raised, your ancestors have lived here for generations.”

“If you leave this place when it needs you the most, even if you can live a rich life in the future, can you sleep peacefully at night?”

The rich merchant’s expression froze. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

When He Chuan heard this, the inference system actually automatically activated and paired with the Heavenlyly BUFF, it give him two results.

[Let the people leave: The law of karma can be activated, ‘all the gold is gone’. The reward received for distributing wealth: Rich merchant’s reward!]

[Do not let the people leave: No reward, waiting for the next opportunity to be triggered.]

He Chuan’s eyes lit up slightly.

It was really like giving a pillow when one was dozing off, giving him whatever he wanted!

He did not expect that this would trigger the effect of the law of Karma.

As expected of the heavenly law!

It seemed like everything in the city was determined to be his wealth.

As long as there were expenses, there would be compensation!

Although after these merchants left, it would be difficult to open up the trade routes in the city, perhaps the lives of the people would be even more difficult.

But there were more urgent matters at hand, and he had to distinguish between priorities.

If the business collapsed, it could still be rebuilt, but if all the people died, then the city would have no value.

Thus, He Chuan immediately went forward.

He said lightly.

“Let them go.”

The long-bearded man was first enraged when he heard the voice.

Who the f*ck would be so blind at this time to dare to challenge him?

In the end, he turned his head to look.

He saw a handsome youth slowly walking over.

His expression instantly changed, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.

“Your Highness! Your subordinate did not welcome you at such a distance. Please atone for my sins!”

When the surrounding commoners heard this form of address, they were all shocked. Their bodies, which were already kneeling, buried their heads down, almost prostrating themselves on the ground.

The wealthy merchant who was not kneeling was also shocked.

He looked around, and then without hesitation, he imitated the commoners and made the same gesture, showing respect and submission.

He Chuan saw this.

Hmm…

It seemed like the old feudal dynasty had not changed.

“All of you, get up, there’s no need to kneel. All of you are born equal. No matter who you are facing, you should maintain your dignity.”

He Chuan waved his hand, “Go back to what you were doing. If you want to leave, go ahead. Survival is the most important thing.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Your Highness, what are you talking about?

Equality? Dignity?

These words made the beggars even more convincing.

In front of you, how could we dare to have dignity…

Do we want to die?

Wait…

I think they were even allowed to leave.

Is this for real?

It can’t be, right?

He didn’t even mention a single request, and he was so straightforward?

At this moment, both sides fell silent.

The commoners felt that He Chuan was fishing for a way to enforce the law. After they left, they would let the long-bearded man lead the troops and use the excuse of running away.

But they didn’t dare to ask.

As commoners, they were still unspeakably reserved and uncomfortable when facing the nobles.

As for the long-bearded man, he wasn’t sure what to do.

They didn’t know if the prince was sending him a message or if he really thought so.

Sigh!

Annoying!

As expected of a man who had once been the Crown Prince!

His words and actions were so hard to understand!

Just when everyone couldn’t figure it out, He Chuan spoke again.

This time, he directly made it clear.

He told everyone that he couldn’t resist the beast tide.

This prince’s identity was in name only. He didn’t have any power or influence.

Coming here was actually no different from waiting for death.

If everyone wanted to live, they had to leave this place and find a way to Freedom City which was close to the border of the country. Only then would there be a chance of survival.

These words were very sincere, and many people were moved.

Because it was just as He Chuan had said.

The size of Freedom City was much larger than Glory City.

Moreover, its geographical location was very special. It was close to three countries.

It became a necessary place for merchant caravans to pass through.

Because the sky was high and the Emperor was far away, even the central officials could not get information about Freedom City in real-time.

So the local people were allowed to govern themselves.

Over time, it formed a very free business atmosphere.

No matter who it was, they could live in Freedomcity.

They did not need identification.

They would not ask you where you came from.

As long as you had money, you could have a warm little nest there!

Because of this, Freedom City became a sacred place where all the countries put out bounties on criminals.

Any country in the world would reject a wanted criminal?

It didn’t matter!

Just came to Freedom City!

However, Freedom City was a mix of fish and dragons, it had all kinds of people.

However, this wasn’t a bad thing. What came with it was extremely strong strength.

In the past, when the beast tide had invaded, all the citizens of Freedom City had become soldiers.

In order to protect the only pure land that could survive, the wanted criminals had all stepped onto the battlefield.

That reckless fighting style had caused heavy losses to the strange beasts that had come to invade.

Later on, the trading firm had invested in upgrading the defensive equipment in the city, turning Freedom City into an iron wall.

Other than the birds and beasts that could fly into the city, the other strange beasts were completely helpless.

Such a powerful city defense could be said to be the best of the few kingdoms!

If they could get there before the beast tide arrived, it would definitely be much safer than staying in Glory City!

Unfortunately…

They had to pass through many mountains and hills along the way.

They would definitely encounter many strange beasts.

These existences could only be dealt with by awakened ones. As long as they were unlucky enough to encounter one in the wild, even ten burly men wouldn’t be enough to defeat it.

This was everyone’s concern.

The wealthy merchant also brought it up at the right time.

To show the difficulties of their group.

He Chuan immediately waved his hand.

“No worries.”

“I have a way to avoid the strange beasts, just do as I say.”

“Now, call those who are qualified to live in the Freedom City over.”

The wealthy merchant hesitated, he still didn’t feel safe.

He Chuan chuckled, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in using you or finding trouble with you. To take a step back, with my status, is there a need to take so many detours when I want to do something?”

The rich businessman thought so.

Without hesitation, he immediately asked his subordinates to inform the others in the city to come over.
