The rolling smoke surged straight into the sky, and the smell of blood did not dissipate for a long time.

The wailing of the injured had stopped. In the collapsed cement wall, workers had carried their injured companions to the infirmary. There were no injured outside the wall, only the dead.

The factory manager smiled and asked the hero who destroyed the enemy and said compliments when he smiled and broke the wall.

"I don't know what you call me?" asked the chief manager, "Then my master, Viscount Berardi, will thank you very much."

"Charles McGarden." Charles reported his name, "I met Viscount many years ago, and you greeted him on my behalf."

The manager was shocked when he heard someone's name. The compliments kept coming out, just like water coming out of the pipe dug by an excavator.

Charles said nothing, and turned around and left the textile factory along the main road.

After Linda left, he traveled in the Kingdom of Bischberg for a few days, and similar battles encountered several times. Every time those who attacked the factory were attacked by him from behind, he finally defeated him.

Not long after, Charles came to Messina City, the place he had been here many years ago.

This is the season when flowers bloom. Walking in the city, you are still full of blurry eyes, and your nose is also intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

Charles put on a little makeup, afraid that someone would recognize him.

"I am the Earl of Meccaden, you trash scums should die soon!"

A child's shout almost made someone hit the girl on the street.

He turned his head and saw a group of seven or eight-year-old children playing games in the alley across the street.

A boy wearing a white mask and a yellow hat stood on the steps, waving a wooden sword and slashing at the kids who should be playing the water thief.

However, this brother is not popular, so everyone doesn't want to play with him, just want to beat him up. "Count McGarden" was soon rushed up and pressed to the ground by the "water thieves", and the "water thieves" took off his shoes and scratched his feet.

The children had a fight for a while, and then they drew lots and selected the person who played the role of "Earl of McGarden".

Charles shook his head and smiled, then walked to a shop selling slime fudge on the roadside and threw a dinar silver coin to the clerk, asking the clerk to send a kilo of candy to each of the children.

In an inconspicuous tavern in the city, Charles found an empty table in the middle to sit down.

There were several empty cups upside down on the table and a kettle.

He picked up five cups, put four down, one upside down on two cups, and then picked up the kettle and poured water into the bottom of the cup.

Hot cold boiled water on the bottom of the cup and then flowed into the four cups below.

When the guests in the tavern saw Charles' style, they immediately reached out to hold the weapon, with a bad expression.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The tavern owner, who had one leg replaced by a wooden stick, walked over hunched over, and his hand randomly tidied up. The guests in the store immediately relaxed. Those who drank continued to drink, those who ate meat continued to eat meat, and those who teased the waiter continued to touch the waiter's thigh.

The owner of this tavern looked like a young old man in his twilight years, and his teeth were almost gone.

He sat opposite Charles, took out a pipe from his pocket, stuffed it in tobacco and took a few sips.

Charles doesn't smoke much in this world, but he can smell this tobacco is a high-end product.

"The cup is very clean," said the boss.

Charles placed the upside down cup in front of him, with only a little water at the bottom of the cup, but Charles' movements were still like to worship tea.

"My pocket is cleaner than it," Charles said.

The boss asked, “How much can you put in your pocket?”

Charles replied: "Two white flowers, round and bulging (⊙⊙)."

The boss looked at Charles carefully and asked again, "Who did you follow?"

Charles replied: "Red poisonous spider."

The boss's eyes suddenly glared, and the look of his eyes looking at Charles became sharp.

Charles' expression remained unchanged. He didn't know whether the other party was testing him or that there was a problem with his answer.

The boss took a few sips of the pipe, and the tobacco inside quickly burned out. He knocked the ashes to the ground and asked, "Murder or intelligence?"

Seeing that the other party started talking about business, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

This "Black Bat" organization that has survived in the shadow of the mainland for many years is difficult to find, and it took Charles a lot of effort to find it.

This is not the first time he has dealt with "Black Bat". He asked Ah Fu to contact them and paid them to destroy Allen's teammates.

But this time he did not follow Ah Fu's path, but instead contacted them with a friend.

When Charles helped Tarantula detoxify in Chapter 680, he never expected that this elusive pawn merchant on the continent had a connection with the "Black Bat".

"I have two businesses, one long and one short," Charles said.

"I want to work with you for a long time, and I need all the intelligence in the Bischberg Kingdom related to the 'Wool War'."

"A short business is to break the information of those people in the knowledge city not long ago."

The boss took out the tobacco and stuffed it into his pipe and started smoking. After smoking a pipe, he said, "We will take this order. She will go to you at that time. You can discuss the fees."

Charles was shocked. It seemed that she had been exposed. The biggest possibility was that there was a problem with the joint code given by Tarantula, and she probably had a good status in the "black bat".

After the matter was resolved, Charles left the tavern, took a few turns and threw away the stalkers, and then returned to the crowded street.

Compared with the place where the smoke began to spread, the city was still peaceful and stable on the surface.

It's just that no one knows how the situation will develop and when the battle will happen in the city.

The chaos brought about by war often means opportunity, especially for those who lick blood on the tip of a knife.

Charles went to the Adventurers Union's tavern and planned to hear what new news was here.

It was already dinner time, and he ordered a few special Messina flowers and dishes for dinner.

The flower tea made from fresh local flowers is fragrant and is a must-have drink for people here when eating.

The waiter recommended a new dish for him, cut the boiled pork belly into slices and put it on a dish, stir with garlic, shredded flower, sesame oil, sugar and a little salt, drizzle a spoonful of mixed oil, and pour it on the slices of meat.

Charles gave the girl a little tip, and the girl mysteriously told him that the dish was learned by adventurers from the south from the Principality of Andorra, and the chef of the tavern made some improvements.

Someone nodded. It seemed that the source of this dish was the white garlic meat made by his apprentices.

However, the local chef made some adjustments to make the dish smell like flowers and turn it into white meat.

There are also scrambled eggs with flowers, which probably evolved from fried eggs with chives, and he thought they tasted pretty good.

Then there is the tempura made of roses. This Japanese time traveler has a very historical recipe and tastes fragrant and crispy.

While someone was feasting, he didn't forget to find out the news. An interesting word appeared frequently during the conversation between everyone.

"Stock Cavalier", Charles didn't react for a while when he heard this word. After listening for a while, he understood what it meant.

Unlike the previous practice of giving land to knights, the factory owners came up with a way to enhance their strength. They took out part of the factory shares and gave them to the newly enthroned knights.

Charles had to admire the cleverness of these emerging capitalists, and that the shares of Rijin Doujin's textile factory can indeed attract strong civilian adventurers and mercenaries to join their ranks.

These new knights will inevitably defend their own shares as much as they defend their own land.

Charles couldn't help but think about what impact this "industrial aristocrat" would have on the world of swords and magic with extraordinary powers, and how far they could go.
