Chapter 352

Today's imperial city seems to have some anomalies. The originally hot weather suddenly cools down, but the sky is very clear and the air is very dry. It doesn't look like a sign of rainstorm.

The streets are also bustling up, everywhere are the civilians who come out to go shopping in the cool weather. Many street vendors also set up their own stalls, shouting and selling their own goods.

However, the nobility did not come out much. They had enough financial resources to arrange a cooling water magic array at home. They did not have to endure the hot weather at all. Moreover, the physical fitness of professionals also greatly enhanced their heat resistance and cold resistance.

The patrolling city guards are a bit distressed. With their number of hands, they obviously have no time to manage so many vendors. Now the imperial city is in a mess, which makes them feel that something will happen.

In the slum, Kent walked out of the city with a body on his back.

Since Xiaguang city was attacked, the refugees were blocked outside the east gate and attacked by orcs and imperial soldiers. As a lucky man, Kent was found out of the corpses by the soldiers. After some examination, he was free again and obtained the permanent residence permit of Xiaguang city.

Kent did not seek work in Xiaguang city. Instead, he used several gold coins to compensate him. He went to the imperial city through the transmission array and took root in the famous imperial city slums.

Because the imperial city is much safer than Xiaguang City, and he has always heard that the favela of the imperial city is the fastest place for people to change their fate. There are many miracles here. You can find gold or silver coins lying on the ground. Some poor people are attracted by big people and get the opportunity to become professionals. Finally, they gradually join the upper class.

This kind of inspirational story is often heard in the Bard's mouth. Kent's favorite is to go to the pub to drink a cup of inferior malt wine, and then listen to the Bard's telling these stories, which will make him full of motivation for life.

However, after coming to the favela of the Imperial City, Kent found the gap between ideal and reality. As a carpenter, he couldn't find a suitable job here because his craft was relatively immature. He didn't have a permanent residence permit in the Imperial City, and ordinary shops didn't want him.

So he quickly joined the begging team, hoping to find a few gold or silver coins every day.

Before he could beg for a copper coin, he was surrounded by several colleagues around him. Kent realized that the vagabonds in the slums had already formed a huge force. Each member had a strict regional division, and the income from begging had to be submitted and summarized, and then distributed level by level.

It's not to say that anyone who comes here and sits on the ground with a broken bowl and a broken jar can make money.

Moreover, these vagabonds are not just beggars. They are also versatile and master the skills of theft or intelligence analysis. None of them can be obtained without work.

Finally, Kent, who had been hungry for a few days, regretted that he could have settled down in Xiaguang city with several gold coins given by the government, but now he has no money and no money to sit in the transmission array again. He can only live here in the imperial city.

The time limit of his temporary residence permit has passed, and he has no choice but to stay in the slums and leave the imperial city.

Finally, Kent found a temporary job as a corpse collector to collect the bodies of the slums.

This job can maintain his food and clothing, and because of its special nature, the threshold for taking up a job is relatively low. Many unemployed people are not willing to do this job because they are afraid of being infected by the disease carried by the corpse. Therefore, this is the only job Kent can find in a short time.

If it was a month ago, Kent would not have been looking for this job even if he had starved to death. But after the last disaster, he had climbed out of the corpse heap, so he was reborn again. So his resistance to the body was much less, and he didn't feel uncomfortable carrying the body.

"Today, this is the sixth one. Each corpse has five copper coins. If you work harder, you can get enough ten to rest." Muttered Kent.

This is a small goal he set for himself. He collects ten corpses every day. In addition to his daily expenses, he can save a lot of money. After he has a certain capital, he can do some small business.

Corpses can be seen everywhere in slums, but their collectors have to move them to designated places outside the city gate. Some of them are far and near, which is very exhausting, especially for ordinary people like him.

"It's cool today. I'm not tired at all." Kent was in a slightly happy mood. The experience of walking out of the city with his body on his back a few days ago was really unforgettable. He almost fainted in the middle of the road due to heatstroke. However, the weather suddenly cooled down this afternoon, and there was no trend of rain, which would not affect his next work. This made his strength recover a lot.

He handed the body over to the designated place, took five copper coins from a middle-aged man's hand, and Kent whistled toward the gate.

But before he had gone a few steps, he heard the shrill alarm coming from the direction of the imperial city.

"What's the situation?" Kent was shivering, and he remembered hearing similar sirens in chuyang, when the orcs were invading.But not long after, Chu Yang City was attacked by the orcs. He will never forget the tragic scene of the orcs slaughtering at will.

When he fled to Xiaguang City, he had heard such a warning. It was also an orc invasion. Although it didn't end like Chuyang City, the refugees were still slaughtered. He was one of them, but he was lucky to be buried under the body.

And this time, the sound of the alarm aroused deep fear in his heart.

How could it be? This is the imperial city!

A large translucent light shield rises from the wall, covering the whole Imperial City, like an inverted bowl.

Kent looked at it blankly. He had seen it several times. It was only the main city's defense shield. It would only be used at the last moment when the main city was about to be broken, because the consumption was too high and the maintenance time was limited.

He met once in chuyang city.

After the mask was raised, it lasted for more than half an hour, giving many people in the city a chance to escape.

And what happened this time? He just left the imperial city not long ago, how did this happen? Is the guardian not careful?

It wasn't long before the light shield disappeared. Kent breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the shield must have been activated by mistake.

But the next moment, a bright column of light fell from the sky and fell into the imperial city.
