Chương 279: A lot of commissions, so little time.

Although other adventurers were not allowed to take commissions that led to going out of the city walls, it didn't mean they had no jobs left for them. The entire chain of events had caused a surge in the number of both good and bad activities going on in the city.

It wasn't that they were bad at their jobs, it was just that during periods of the beast tide, crime rates in the city soared because many saw it as an opportunity to become wealthy in the midst of the chaos.
