The road is muddy. The impact of the heavy rain not long ago has not ended. The city near the sea is relatively humid. As a slum here, crushed grass leaves, excrement, and unknown strange objects are mixed together by carriages and pedestrians. The color looks disgusting.
The air is also filled with an intolerable smell of fishmongers on both sides of the environment to deal with their harvest, with these picked up fish rotten shrimp in exchange for dinars. As a new colonial city, there should not have been such a large-scale slum. Most of the people who came here were aristocratic leaders with stable income.
However, most of the other free people who come here voluntarily have extraordinary courage to pursue wealth. They are just colonies that have been peaceful for decades. In recent years, either orcs have invaded here, or underground creatures of unknown origin have been found there. A large number of war refugees have gathered in large cities, creating the scar of this huge city.
When the cloaked Xu Yichen and Vitoria appeared here, the numb paupers and gang members on the road were far away from them. The celis with double swords on their waists and Vitoria, who were not like good people, were not easy to be provoked. Strangers who were not easy to provoke were synonymous with trouble here.
"Vitoria, we need to find a local guide." Xu Yichen looks at the winding paths and numerous temporary simple buildings here, which makes this place completely different from that on the map. She just doesn't know whether Vitoria is too deterrent and everyone is far away from them.
"We should come back in the evening. Our goal is so obvious that it will scare the snake." Vitoria is familiar with such reconnaissance missions, in which the enemy is hidden in the dark and her side is as conspicuous as a light bulb, which reminds her of her days of patrolling the Arab erosions.
Xu Yichen shrugged helplessly: "no way, I'm not sure to fight the assassin who attacked me last time in the dark. My teacher said that they are good at using the power of shadow. Come on, use the most stupid way to find a local villain. "
Xu Yichen in the crowd to find one of their most despised one. His naked skin is covered with colorful patterns. His frivolous expression makes his every move different from that of the ordinary people around him. He finds that he is watched by a strange warrior nearby. The tattooed man turns around and leaves under the cover of the crowd.
Vitoria easily squeezed away the crowd. Xu Yichen and Xu Yichen followed the tattooed man in such a leisurely way that they found that he ran slowly and then ran closer. In less than five minutes, the hapless fellow panted into a building that looked better than the surrounding mess.
As one of the members of the aboriginal Gang here, Mike's job is to collect protection fees in the Gang area and squeeze the last oil star out of the gang. His recent job is to collect business tax like those gangsters on the black street, which is the official name of boss pork. By the way, he warns them that the slums are not peaceful recently, and people often disappear. If something is wrong, he can exchange the news for pocket money.
At this time, Mike's heart was full of remorse. He saw two foreigners who didn't look easy to offend on the street. He thought about the task of boss pork and paid more attention to the abnormal situation in the street, so he looked at it more. Unexpectedly, he was chased to his old nest all the way! Look at the momentum of those two people. I wonder if boss pork can keep himself?
Xu Yichen looks at Vitoria and signals that the lady should take the lead. The woman takes the lead and pushes open the door which is dead. Under the action of 19 points of force, the door lock is stretched to the limit as if it were made of plasticine, and then it collapses and flies. Vitoria stooped down and sidled into the room, as if opening her own bedroom door.
Xu Yichen followed and walked into the room. There were seven men in the room, including the tattooed men who had led the way before. The bald man in the lead will hold up his hands very wisely, and kick a few children who subconsciously pick up daggers and sticks with their feet.
"Two adults! If Mike did something to provoke you, please do as you please! I have no idea at all The bald man did not hesitate to sell his men.
The tattooed man immediately collapsed and turned to face Xu Yichen and his face was aggrieved: "two adults, I didn't do anything... Are you adventurers to investigate the little secrets of the slums? "
Mike came up with a reason, a pair of small eyes innocently looking at two foreigners.
Porto Anthony, police force.
A soldier, covered in armor, hurried into the room and said to the two men in dispute, "my Lord, it's not good."
There was no time to get rid of the asthma. The soldier then reported: "I received a report this morning. The patrol guard found another 14 people missing in the port area."
The original argument in the room ended in summer.
One of the two men in dispute was Sir CASLA of port Antony, a man in his early fifties who had followed the old count in building the city. He looked up with blood in his eyes.Sir casra said angrily, "haven't the port area been on alert? Why is someone missing again? You are a bunch of rubbish. When people do something to the city guard, you don't know who did it! What's the use of spending so much money on the city guard every year? "
Facing him was a young knight with a solemn face. After hearing this, he comforted Sir kasla and said in a deep voice: "Sir, it's time to give the temple authority. I have real information that it is the fallen chaotic believers who hide in the city and make waves! It's not something that secular forces can handle. You don't understand what the white fog in the black forest means! It's time to let go of stereotypes! I have to report to the church and send paladins to the city for a large-scale investigation! Or the city will be in danger
Is it really necessary to use church power?
Sir kasla's face showed a struggle of hesitation. In fact, he believed 70% of what the paladin said in front of him! What the paladins don't know is that the slums have been missing since last month. The first few people disappeared. Then, every morning, people will find that the whole street is missing. Even the gangsters in the slums who think human life is the least valuable begin to report to the city guard.
But what about the little secret between yourself and Antoine?
