Vol 22 Chapter 370: 3 twists and turns

In this so-called homeless city, there is no trace of large-scale industrial production as I imagined. On the contrary, the first impression this place gives me is that it represents a dirty and shanty town, and this place and the modern city The shantytown where the poor class lives is not the same. Modern shantytowns have a house or building in it. This place is nothing more than rows of tents and temporary houses constructed of wooden planks.
"This place is a homeless city? Are you sure this is not a beggar den?"
"It does not look like it, but the technical strength of this place is still a little bit."
"Let's go and see first!"
Although the young lady said that she was very confident, but based on the first impression of this place, I really couldn't make a good impression of it. In such a dirty and messy environment, even if someone has this talent, it is impossible to invent something, because when the living needs of food and clothing cannot be solved, the first thing people think of is how to solve the problem of food and clothing, and then they can Strength to think about other things.
Although I don't have much hope for the existence of the researcher said by Miss, since I'm here, I still want to see the previous one.
Following the young lady from this place we walked down the stairs cut out from the rock wall to the bottom of the cave, and as soon as I landed on my feet, I found that the water was all under my feet. I looked down in surprise and found out that it wasn't that I felt wrong, but that the sewage under my feet really didn't pass the feet.
The young lady also found my gaze on the ground, and explained: "There is no sewage system in this place, so as long as it rains outside, water will start to accumulate after two days inside, but the ground will slowly penetrate itself, so Not always. "
I nodded and didn't delve into it. Anyway, I don't live here long. Follow the young lady all the way forward, and on both sides of the road are the gray tents that I saw above. These tents are not directly placed on the ground, but are raised to a certain height with gravel below. There was a layer of wood on it, and the tent was built on it. This design simply solves the problem of sewage. Because the tent is unlikely to have much waterproof effect, laying directly on the ground is equivalent to sleeping in the water. Of course, even if it is set up, it may not be as dry as possible. The underground cave itself cannot be well ventilated. With so many people, the ground is full of water, and the environment can be imagined.
After flowing water for about 500 meters, we finally saw a house called a mansion in the homeless city. The main reason for saying this mansion is that it is not made of wood or canvas, but a real cave.
Actually this is a huge stone pillar. It is one of the supporting points to support this huge cave, but its interior is not completely solid, but there are no small large hollows. Now this hollow room has been slightly decorated with wood, and then it has become several rooms of different sizes. Of course, these rooms are very simple, and there is no gate in this hole, only a layer of gray and damp cloth curtains almost mushroom-like covering the entrance.
Although the cave's decoration is terrible, this does not affect its luxury in this homeless city. After all, compared with those tents and wooden houses built in dirty water, this cave is more than one meter above the ground. The entrance that needs to be built by wooden steps can distinguish this room from many tents and board houses. At least this cave house is one of the few places that are not particularly wet here.
The young lady walked to the door of the cave first, and then went straight up, but something went wrong when it was my turn. I just walked two steps, and once I stepped on the third step, I heard a click as soon as I stepped hard. Then I felt my body started to fall, but fortunately, the three steps were not high, so I stood almost directly in the water.
The young lady in front of her was startled by the sound, and looked back at me in surprise as she stood in the water and laughed. "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to eat too!"
"This place really doesn't match my character!" I said as I stretched out my hands and pulled all the pieces of wood in front of me. Then he looked up at the young lady standing at the entrance and said, "Take a step back."
The young lady reacted and hurried back, but I jumped as soon as I pressed the hole. The inside of this cave looks much better than the outside, at least it is dry and bright, and it is two heavens and earth compared with the environment outside like a pile of dead people.
When I entered the room, there were already three people standing there. The two bodies apart from the young lady were in sharp contrast. One of them was obviously a dark elf. The dark elf is at least one meter nine or more, probably close to two meters, wearing a leather armor comparable to a bikini, but it seems that this thing is very old, how much defense is really unthinkable, at least I think this thing may not have a strong sackcloth suit, and it is a blessing to hang there without disintegrating yourself.
Of course, although the leather armor is a little bit worse, the owner of the leather armor is totally different from this thing. That dark elf had the standard character of an elf—beautiful. Most of the height of one meter and nine feet are the length of the legs, and considering that the leather covering area is so small, this ratio is definitely not caused by the visual error caused by the clothing, but the legs are really long and short.
In addition to these strong and strong long legs, this dark elf's figure is also standard. Compared to most white elves equipped with washboards, the body of the dark elves is basically inherited from the devil. The s-curve is definitely exaggerated to make you feel that this must be an artifact.
However, although the figure in front of her is very exaggerated and her skin is very firm, her face looks like she is 37 or 8 years old. Of course, it does n’t mean that she looks older, on the contrary, this one looks like the type whose actual age should be much older than the looks, although at first glance, it seems that this one should be thirty-seven or eighty close to forty Aged, but in fact everyone knows that she must be more than this age. In fact, based on my understanding of the Dark Elf race, his appearance looks like a dark elven, which is basically a super old man among the elves.
This big branch of elves is a long-lived species. Lifespan is much longer than humans. Generally speaking, even an elf who is seven or eight hundred years old seems to be about thirty years old, and seven hundred or eighty years is actually a middle-aged age for an elf, even if he is dead Elves, most of them seem to be in their early thirties. As for looking like it's almost forty years old. This kind of elves is like the centenarians among human beings, and belongs to the existence beyond the average range.
In addition to this tall dark elf, the other one at the scene was a dwarf. This is certainly not the kind of dwarf on the ground, because normal dwarves are born blacksmiths and warriors, and are regardless of gender. There are constant battles in the game. The industry of blacksmiths is quite popular. Warriors are also a very important profession, so dwarves are usually very good. Of course this guy can mix in living in the homeless city is certainly not an ordinary dwarf. In fact this is a grey dwarf, just like the fallen angel. The part of the dwarf abandoned by the light camp and called by the dark camp. Of course, the fact that these guys are not set in the game is an evil camp, because in the game, there is no distinction between righteousness and evil in the Dark Temple and the Light Temple, but the attributes are different.
Although this gray dwarf looked very fierce, in fact, this guy is similar to the average dwarf, at most it is a little bit more temperament, and his behavior is a bit harsh.
of course. Inheriting the common characteristics of a dwarf, this guy is only 1.2 meters tall. It feels like a wine barrel. But this one doesn't have a mallet now, and he doesn't seem to have a blacksmith's feeling on his body. I guess this is a professional soldier.
The two apparently knew the young lady, so there was no response before standing there, but the two did not hurriedly bow their salute until I appeared here.
"Dear sir, how can you show condescension in places like ours?" It was the dark elves who spoke. Dwarves are not good at talking.
"you know me?"
"No, I have never seen an adult, but there is a death mark on your equipment. This is something that the gods can accomplish. An existence that communicates with the protoss, for our existence, we can only look up Exists. So I'm curious about your purpose here. "
"You know the goods," I said, looking directly at the young lady.
The young lady felt as if she had reacted to this and said, "This is President Ziri, and President of the Frost Rose Alliance, should you have heard of it?"
"Frost Rose League?" Called this time to the gray dwarf. "Are you really the president of the Frost Rose Alliance?"
I nodded and asked, "Does anyone dare to impersonate me?"
"Unless he thinks he has enough." The dark elf next to him quickly answered, and then asked, "But since you are the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, your status should be more honorable than I think. You are like this Why does our existence come to places like ours? "
"He came for the drawing I took away."
As soon as I heard the explanation from the young lady, I immediately heard the sound of a heavy object falling from the room, followed by the sound of wooden board movement. Before I could figure out what was going on, the dwarf and the dark elf beside him were already kneeling on the ground and begging loudly for mercy.
"I said what are you doing?" I really don't know what the situation is, and I have nothing to do? Why do these two react when they mention drawings?
I was still wondering. The young lady reacted first and rushed to the room inside. I did n’t know what she was going to do, so I did n’t keep up, but soon I heard a cry, and then The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon I saw the young lady walking in with a small piece of green creature that was only one meter tall and shorter than the dwarf.
The creature brought back by the young lady should actually be a goblin, but he is not a normal goblin, but a big goblin. The height of an ordinary goblin cannot grow to one meter. Although this height is already very short for humans, it is actually one meter high for the Goblin race. The normal goblin height is actually only sixty to eighty centimeters. Those who can grow up to ninety centimeters are almost equal to those basketball players. They belong to super-level play, and this one meter is definitely a race problem. After all, I have n’t heard of anyone growing to three meters?
After slipping this goblin in, the young lady put it directly on the ground, and explained to him, "Don't run! We are not here to find your account."
"Don't you come to me for accounting?" After the goblin was put down, he immediately stopped when he heard such words, and then looked at the young lady uncertainly and confirmed.
After listening to the other party's words, the young lady directly said to me: "When he gave me that scroll, he said that this thing was something he had studied easily. As a result, you also know that it was actually a fake drawing. Yes, I guess he knew we were here and thought we had settled the bill, so he was ready to run away. "
After I heard it, I finally understood the reason why the chicken and dog jumped here a while ago. After engaging in a long time, the three were basically selling fakes, but the young lady suddenly came to the door. This is tantamount to the person who bought the fake. However, because the account character of the young lady in the game is an ordinary soldier, the level is not very high, and the strength is not particularly strong, so they are not afraid at all. However, when I heard that the chairman of the Frost Rose Alliance also came, the other party was frightened immediately.
Even if the liar finds the bitter master after he deceives the person, although there will be some guilty conscience, he may not be so scared, and some groups are even more arrogant than the bitter master. but. What if the scammer finds the person he cheated?
Just because I was worried about being killed, these guys were scared to death. The big goblin in the room did n’t come out, so after hearing my identity, I started preparing to run. As for the two people outside, I knew I could n’t run, of course I had to hurry up for mercy. .
After understanding the cause and effect, I explained with a smile: "Do n’t be afraid, I ’m not here to trouble you. Although the scroll you gave her is fake, it ca n’t be made at all. But there is still a certain thing in it Value, so it ca n’t be considered completely deceiving. "
"Oh. That's it!" The goblin patted his heart and got up from the ground. "So let me introduce, I'm the king of technology in this homeless city, all here ..." "
"Well, don't talk about your name." The lady interrupted the other party directly and said, "We are here to find you something, not to listen to your bragging. Now tell me, is that drawing your design? Yes, I can warn you. This is President Ziri of the Frost Rose Alliance, you know his strength. It costs you no more to crush an ant than to crush it. So if you dare to talk to us, you Know the consequences. "
The words of the young lady really are quite effective. After listening to the words of the other person, the goblin really changed her attitude and said seriously: "In fact, I stole that thing from someone else!"
"Sure enough!" The young lady asked after sighing, "Do you know where the owner of this thing is?"
"Of course." The goblin nodded and looked at me. Then he stretched out a paw and rubbed it. "Sir, wouldn't you let us be busy?"
I reached out and drew a money bag from my body and threw it. I have a lot of this one-hundred crystal coin purse, just to cope with this kind of time. "Either lead the way or die."
Under the dual role of the money bag and the trowel, the goblin began to cooperate very wisely with our actions. The other party directly asked the dark elf to show us the way, and then took us to a tent in the city. This place is in the opposite direction from where we first came, and the terrain is slightly higher, there is no water on the ground, but it is still very messy.
The outside of our tent here certainly attracted the attention of a lot of people, but just like I went to that goblin cave before, all the people living in the homeless city dare to watch from afar, at all He dared not approach us. Our existence here is too eye-catching, and of course, as a person here, we dare not approach indiscriminately.
When we stopped in front of that tent, a woman who looked busy among the crowd not far away suddenly changed her face, and then started desperately to squeeze here. Because everyone was watching from a distance, only she pushed forward, so I saw her at first sight, but I didn't say anything, but waited for her response.
The dark elf leading the way did not find the woman, but opened the curtain directly outside the tent. The inside of the tent is only five or six square meters, which is large for the tent, but it is quite narrow for the residential area. At the entrance of such a big tent, there were a pile of mess, and there was two floor tiles on both sides, and there was a low table nailed out of wood in the middle aisle. Obviously you did it yourself.
After opening the curtain, the dark elf glanced inside, and then saw two small children, a man and a woman, the boy was about eight years old, and the girl was only about six years old.
After seeing the child, the dark elf asked: "What about your parents?"
The two children had to answer after seeing the dark elves, but suddenly they cried when they saw me from the gap of the dark elves. Of course, tents cannot have any sound insulation effect. When the two children cried, the woman over there immediately rushed more desperately. She ran straight past us and rushed to the door of the tent, then she stopped at the door and watched us crying, "What are you doing? We don't owe you any money!"
"What's going on?" I asked, looking at the female elf.
The dark elf quickly explained: "The family owed us money before, and then the drawing was paid to us. The woman probably thought we were asking for money again." Then the dark elf turned to the woman and said, " Do n’t be nervous. Did n’t you pay off our debt with that thing? We even paid you back the debit. How can we ask for money from you? I ’m here to bring these two adults and I have something to ask you. a bit."
As soon as the woman heard that it was just asking about things, she immediately wiped away the tears on her face, and quickly turned to comfort the child. It took a few minutes for the child to stop crying before running out to apologize to us before saying: The family is too small. I won't invite a few adults into it. Well, I don't know if I can help? "
I didn't waste any time, I just asked: "Where did the scroll you used to pay off debts come from? If you can provide useful information, this is yours." I said one before Same bag.
The woman obviously hadn't seen such a large amount of money, and even her eyes were straight after seeing the crystal coins in this bag, but she quickly reacted, and then looked at me with a stun and said, "That ... Lord I'm really sorry. I really don't know where this thing came from. "I thought the clue was broken when I heard this. Unexpectedly, the other person suddenly continued: "When my husband and I got married, this thing was already with my husband, and I didn't ask how it came out. In fact, there was magic on that thing. My husband and I were simply Can't open, but we just think that since this thing has magic, it must be valuable, so it has been hidden in the house as emergency money, and the debt owed before is really not enough, so it will be used to pay the debt. "
"That is to say you don't know. But your husband probably knows the origin?"
"Yes," the woman nodded.
Immediately after receiving a positive answer, I said, "Where is your husband now?"
The woman's head dropped as soon as she said that, and then she paused a little before she said, "My husband has been dead for almost a year."
"What did you say?" The young lady next to her changed this time and couldn't help it. We heard that her husband knew that we all thought there was hope, but now there is such a turn, which really makes us somewhat unacceptable.
The woman continued after she said, "My husband borrowed money to buy medicine because of his illness. After that, his condition has been bad and getting worse. In the end, we really have no money and can only scroll It was used to repay the debt and changed a little more money, but in the end my husband's illness was not cured, and then my husband ... "The woman choked when she said that.
Seeing that the woman was about to cry, I quickly interrupted her emotional outburst. "Stop, don't cry."
The woman looked up at me suddenly, wondering what I meant.
I looked at the woman and asked, "When exactly did your husband die? Is it a year since then?"
"Specific ... what do you ask this for?"
"Just tell me if there will be a year."
Although very puzzled when I asked what this was about, the other person answered, "No."
"That's good." I said again and asked, "After your husband died, was the body buried or cremated?"
"Buried."
"Do you remember the location?"
"Of course, we will go to worship in the future!"
"Okay, you follow us." I said that I was about to take the woman away, but the other side froze. I suddenly reacted and threw the money bag directly at the other party. "Bring your children along. Go and help me with your work. I will give you a house in Essinger and arrange a job for you. This money is yours. Do n’t bring anything here, anyway. It won't be needed in the future. "
The woman's jaw stunned by my words fell off, and then she was completely dragged away by me and the dark elf, and her two children were taken out by the young lady in one hand.
Although I don't know what I'm going to do, the young lady knows to follow me, and the dark elf didn't dare to ask any questions. Anyway, she knew what I said and she would be right.
Taking this family of three out of the Homeless City, and then under the guidance of that woman we quickly found a mass grave post. Although this is also a mass grave post, it is much smaller than the one I went to with the Tsar guy last time, and there is not so much coldness in this place, which is obviously not a place where the undead crawled.
Although there is not so much coldness, but this is a mass grave after all. When we get here, it is already dusk, so it looks a bit gloomy. But I'm not afraid of it at all. The young lady seems a little scared, but she's always holding on.
The dark elves are obviously very adaptable to the night environment. The two children are most afraid. In the end, I had to use hypnosis to calm them down. The woman almost desperately tried to explain this.
Under that woman's identification we finally saw his husband's graveyard. This is actually a pile of loess with a wooden sign in front of it. What kind of cemetery do you expect to build in the Homeless City? It's good without throwing the body directly.
"Is this here?"
The woman looked a little mentally looking at the grave bag ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but still nodded.
After confirming by the other party, I directly summoned luck without saying a ring finger. The woman next to me fainted at first glance after seeing the luck. The dark elf also sat on the ground with one hip backward, but no halo. past.
I didn't care about these two NPCs at all, pointed directly at the grave and said to Lucky: "The whole was dug out, be careful not to hurt the corpses inside."
Fortunately, he nodded his head and shoveled the whole grave, then placed all the soil held in the paw on the ground next to it.
Seeing that the young lady next to me understood what I was going to do, she looked at me in surprise and asked, "Aren't you going to revive him?"
"It's not troublesome, why not?" (To be continued
