Chapter 165:

Asoli city-state is the largest city-state in Mincerton.
It is the most prosperous and degenerate.
In the city of Asori, there is the most prosperous Eastern District. The streets of the Eastern District have the most perfect sewers. The roads are always clean and tidy. Sometimes, nobles wearing bright silks pass by in horse-drawn carriages.
The West Side is the opposite.
It is full of sin and depravity, and it has the largest slum in Minsterton. Walking on the road, not only have to beware of pickpockets everywhere, but also have to be alert to the domestic sewage spilled from the street at any time.
The entire street was filled with a pungent smell.
Manure and sewage are not cleaned up by anyone.
On this day, the Western District, where few nobles are willing to set foot, welcomed a pair of strange guests-
One man and one woman.
The man wrapped himself in the cloak, the was mysterious, but the girl didn't hide. She generously showed everyone her outstanding beauty, her long curly hair like gold, her skin was whiter and more delicate than milk, and she also had a pair of mysterious and cold blue eyes.
When that blue eye looked at you, everyone's heart could not help shaking and palpitation
It seemed that at that moment, all the secrets in my heart were invisible.
They strolled leisurely in the chaotic West End, inadvertently exposing aristocratic elegance, and wearing silk clothes that civilians discouraged: every place was incompatible with this messy place.
People in the West End looked at them curiously.
They discussed with excitement in the dark and made up one story after another of blood and exaggeration.
"Oh shit, how could these noble masters come to the Western District? Don't the Eastern District still hold their noble bodies?"
"No, no, you see, the clothes on them must be the most noble Grand Duke to enjoy... I used to work for a while in the Earl’s House in the Eastern District, and the lady of the Earl did not have such decent and beautiful clothes, It’s like a cloud in the sky..."
"Sunny, you see that they don't have thick pearl powder on their faces, nor wear noble wigs...maybe, it's just that the young master of a noble family ran away with her female companion and hid in our Eastern District for a while?"
"I like them!" Some people claim, "Unlike those nobles with eyes above their heads, and they didn't pinch their noses, scolding'oh these dirty sewer bugs'..."
"Hush, that's a nobleman."
The secret conversation was interrupted.
"You said..." For a long time, someone asked gently, "Will they come for that..."
"That? You mean the rift that appeared near the Dark Apostle's house?... There have been a few waves of people in the Eastern District... I remember the earliest people of the Temple of Light. They lost a whole Cavaliers... recently. How many aristocrats? Their abilities are greater, but there seem to be two aristocrats who have been sucked into the crack... It’s terrible..."
"I hope they are not, I heard that it was a conspiracy of the dark believers..."
Thinking of a month ago, the light disappeared from the earth, and the world was covered with darkness, and everyone was silent.
Liu Yu, who is the center of the topic, carefully lifted the skirt and bypassed a suspicious sewage road.
Of course, she was not as calm as people discussed. When she first stepped into this street, she was almost suffocated by the various smells in the air.
It feels like being put into a stinky fish tank-
But all the discomfort was swept away when Gaia fell to her.
She seemed to be raised from a stinky fish tank and put into a world of birds and flowers.
The tip of the nose is wrapped in the clear smell of youth like pine and snow.
But the dull feeling did not disappear.
The west side seems to be covered with a dull ash in the sky. Most of the pedestrians on the road are wearing coarse linen, patches and patches, and even their faces are dull. They seemed to be tormented by their lives, and when they saw her, they either evaded from a distance, or they thought about knocking on their "fat fish".
She looked aside.
The whole body of the young man was covered in a gorgeous black silk cape, and he could only vaguely see a white and delicate chin, and a strand of black hair drifted out--
When he came to the world of Minseton, he changed back.
"Mr. Leslie, I thought there would be no such place in a world ruled by light."
"There is light and shadow."
The young man turned his head, and the green eyes of the lake met her in an instant—
Liu Yu was speechless.
He is really beautiful.
Especially close so close, Namei unscathed, rushed towards her more
Obviously, he knew this well.
Liu Yu looked away, but he could wait for his eyes to fall into the dark places of the streets--
A girl standing on the street was just pressed against the wall by a rude man, her skirt tilted high, and she could clearly see the transaction over there.
And this way, she has seen many similar scenes.
After negotiating the price, you can easily find one in a dark place. In the Western District, it seems that even shame is a luxury.
Liu Yu even fantasized that if she wore not Bellia Fergus, not a Viscount daughter, but a female daughter in the West End, she was extravagant even if she was full-what should she do?
"Sir, as long as one rupee and one rupee, you can do anything to me."
At this moment, a girl standing on the street reached out to stop them—
To be precise, Gaia was stopped.
She looks very good, but her skin is rough because of the wind and sun all year round, and she has gray eyes.
When the eyes squinted at people, there was a special style and charming.
It was probably quite self-confident, but when the eyes touched the face under the cloak, there was a trace of confusion.
The young man's cold eyes smoothed over her, and took the girl past her.
The girl standing on the street reacted and quickly picked up the skirt to catch up:
"Wait! Wait! Sir—"
Suddenly, a wind blew over.
The girl standing on the street was fascinated by the sand, and when she opened her eyes, she still saw the shadow of the pair.
"Rotie, stop dreaming! How can the nobleman in this world look at you as a street girl?"
The street girl said viciously:
"Bah! There will always be a noble person, willing to take me out of this West End! Oh, there are bugs everywhere... If I don’t plan for myself, I will die here because of illness, or I will be old one day. The guests are starving..."
After talking, the person already greeted a regular customer with a smile:
"Ten rupees once, sir..."
She touched each other's chest impliedly, and the two pulled into the dark alley.
When that murky gasp sounded, Liu Yu had already moved to another street.
The further in the street, the closer to the slums.
And her mood is more depressed, as if covered with a layer of dust that cannot be wiped off.
Liu Yu found that the world was not as beautiful as she saw when she first traversed it, nor was it as bragging about the light of the Holy See...
The poorer the more sinful.
And the sin here cannot be concealed by light.
She saw a woman with her legs spread apart, giving birth to a thin, skinny, baby in the middle of the road.
The woman left after giving birth, and the baby was directly abandoned on the side of the road, crying with his legs.
Pedestrians come and go as if they were commonplace.
In the end, she took out a piece of bright saint crystal and asked someone to send him to the nearby orphanage—
"Orphanage? Where is that?"
The passerby asked her strangely.
He was worn out, so thin that his cheeks were hollowed out.
"That's where abandoned children can be raised."
"There is no such place... However, there is a shelter in the Eastern District, which is run by the temple. The shelters are all widows working. Those nobles make jokes, and the children who don’t want are thrown into the shelter... Hundred rupees, babies are more expensive, one hundred and fifty... As for us, if we can meet good people and give them something to eat, we can live slowly... Otherwise, after a few days, it smells like that. The fish were thrown into the river together..."
His face was numb.
"This is abandoned."
"Abandoned?" The passer-by shook his head. "This is still good. Maybe a kind person will pass by and hug him back... but some baby girls are strangled to death after birth."
"why?"
Liu Yu's throat seemed to be blocked with a stone.
She remembered the tutu girl in Nathaniel's tavern.
"Girls are in trouble, and when they grow up, they have to prepare a dowry...they can't get married if they don't.
Liu Yu couldn't help looking at the low and narrow eaves, the ruined house...
What kind of world is this?
Tang Ying has always lived...is this a place?
But in his diary, life is full of sunshine.
"Send him to the shelter."
Suddenly, a beautiful voice rang, and the slender fingers under the young black robe twisted the bright Shengjing in her palm, and threw it into the hands of the passer-by, "Stay full of support for ten years."
The Holy Crystal of Light is the most expensive and rarest currency in the world.
It cannot be measured in rupees-
Even if ten years of support payments are to be left, there is still a large sum left.
A happy passerby:
"When, of course, respected adult, I will send it here."
As if afraid of their repentance, he ran out of the West End with his baby.
Liu Yu watched him run out of the West End all the way, and then he took back his sight.
This man did not dare to deceive a nobleman.
"Belle..."
At this time, a fluffy, cotton candy-like thing was in front of her.
"cotton candy?"
Liu Yu found out that Gaia had stood before her sometime, holding a big pink marshmallow in her hand.
The gorgeous and rich gold silk cloak is commensurate with the other party's gorgeous and exquisite face, especially the black hair is still flowing like satin-
But such a person, holding up a thing that looks like a kid.
"...You can give it this name."
He said.
I don't know why, Liu Yu heard a jump from the calm tone of the person in front of him.
But looking up, the pale and beautiful face of the youth, the green eyes are a calm lake, and the wind passes without any ripples.
He looked at her quietly.
"...Oh." Liu Yu took the bamboo stick and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Go."
Marshmallow bite into his mouth and turn into sugar water.
Sweet.
She remembered Gaia’s declaration when she was in the misty land. He said to be her mother, her father, friends, husband...
So, is this using cotton candy to coax her?
Liu Yu took a bite of cotton candy and looked at Gaia again. He was staring at her without blinking, his green eyes deep.
Faced with that look, her heart was bitten by an ant, itchy, numb, and... trembling.
"I want to kiss you."
He said suddenly.
Liu Yu put the cotton candy in his mouth directly, clapping his hands:
"Come on, dear--"
She lengthened her voice: "Leigh, Sri Lanka, Lee, Mom, Mom."
