Chapter 625:

The city of Carlworth has indeed developed rapidly in the past two years, but even the bustling city will inevitably be exposed to the sun.
For example, slums.
It gathers more than 90% of the poor in Karlworth.
But speaking, because of the rapid development of Carlworth City in recent years, most of the local residents have received the dividends brought by urban development. Even if they did not get rich overnight, they would not worry about food and clothing.
Today's slums are more like a crowd of laborers from other places.
These people came from all directions to hear the prosperity of Carlworth, and wanted to find a job on the ground in Carlworth.
Because of the skyrocketing number of people in the city and the rising value of real estate such as houses, these outsiders can only live in slums with the cheapest housing prices until they find a suitable job.
This has also led to a mix of fish and dragons in the slums, and public security cannot be adequately guaranteed.
Of course, the so-called poor public order is relative.
Although it is impossible to get much attention here like other bustling places, with the efforts of the police, although the slums have frequent cases, they have not caused much trouble, and these people dare not mess around outside the slums. Come.
Because these people understand that they are all outsiders, and they have no right to speak in the city of Carlworth. Once they provoke locals, they are likely to be kicked out of Carlworth. This is, for them, unacceptable.
However, this situation has quietly changed in recent years.
It all started with a rumor that Karl Waltz seems to be expanding!
The news came from the city's main mansion and involved the largest chamber of commerce in Carlworth.
According to rumors, because the size of the city has not kept pace with development, in order to get rid of the restrictions, the master of the city intends to cooperate with the Klein Chamber of Commerce to replan and rebuild Carlworth City.
Expansion of Carlworth City to two or three times its original size makes the plan sound strange.
But what the people in the slums are not concerned about is that this plan includes the reconstruction of the slums.
For the locals of the broken jade city of Carlworth, rebuilding slums is naturally good, especially for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Once the slums are pushed to rebuild, the value of the surrounding land will rise with the water, but it is not the same for the outsiders who live here today.
Because it foreshadows that they will lose this cheap place to live!
No one wants to take the money out of their pockets, especially since it is very likely that they will be completely powerless to survive in Carlworth.
Therefore, after the news came out, although these outsiders were calm on the surface, they were anxious in their hearts, and many people even started talking privately.
But still, they know their weight in this city, so even if they worry again, they also understand that they cannot stop the expansion of the city.
To do this, they must find a way to make a living.
So from the moment the news spread, the slums surged.
Some people stepped up looking for work. To this end, they even lowered their own requirements, and a considerable number of these people successfully found work and then moved out of the slums.
But not all people are so far away, especially some people who are originally foolish and do not want to get paid by their own labor at all.
Although poor, these people always think of getting rich overnight, for this they go to extremes to blackmail neighbors who also live in slums.
But these people have changed recently.
Of course, they are not regretful and rehabilitated, nor is it because the police have strengthened their management of the slums.
In the final analysis, this is because of a reward notice.
The loss of the corpses of the two guards by the police force has been raging, and notices of rewards have been posted around the city a few days ago.
In order to retrieve the two bodies, the security forces offered a startling price.
Anyone who can retrieve the body, or provide clues, can receive this sky-high bounty from the police.
As long as this money is available, not only can you buy a decent house in Carlworth, the remaining money can even be more than a dozen!
As soon as the reward was given, countless people's eyes became red, let alone the slums in the slums.
For them, this reward is the opportunity they have been waiting for!
So, in order to get this reward, these have no mood to run around the neighborhood, extortion of a small amount of money, they walked the streets and alleys, inquiring the news, so that they can be the first to find a clue, and then become a lucky person to get a reward.
With a reward, the security of the slums has improved a lot. This is a very unexpected thing for many people.
Tavern owner Leicester, instead of staying in the pub and bragging about adventurers today, walked alone to the slum.
As for the reason why he came, it is very simple, because there are many of his informants here.
Leicester promised Wang Jun to help him find the whereabouts of the corpse. Although apparently careless, Leicester was very concerned. To this end, he specially visited an old friend in the slum.
Speaking of this old friend, he was also an adventurer.
This person had a similar experience with Leicester, who had injured his body in an adventure, so he retreated from the front line.
However, unlike Leicester, the latter became the owner of a pub after retirement, drinking and bragging all day long, but this old friend of Leicester is different. Although he retired from the front line of adventure Next, they lived incognito lives directly.
"Old blind man, open the door, I'll bring you wine!"
Alas.
The door slowly opened and a man with a cane walked out.
The man looks very old and has grey hair, but his actual age is almost the same as Leicester.
The reason why so aging is because of the hardships of life in these years.
"Fake wine mixed with water again?" Although the old blind man said so, but after smelling the fragrance of the wine, the throat knot still rolled.
Lester saw the other person's appearance and did not click, and threw the jug filled with wine directly.
It's strange to say, even if the old blind man's eyes can't see the object, he catches the hip flask thrown up in the air.
I saw him groping for the cork which opened the bottle mouth, suddenly took a sip, and then spit out the atmosphere comfortably.
"I didn't expect you old man to be so kind today, but he didn't add water to the wine."
The old blind man plugged the cork again, then closed the jug, and put Leicester in.
After the door was closed, the old blind asked Leicester: "Today is so generous, you must have something to ask me if you want to come?"
The two sides have been dealing with each other for more than ten years, and they have a good understanding of their own nature, so Leicester did not hide it and directly explained the intention.
"You want the news of the two dead bodies of the guard?" The old blind man smiled with a sarcasm, then said, "I don't know the news about this matter, but the guard sent a hundred thousand. The sky-high price of gold coins, you just pass me a pot of unmixed wine, like sending me away? I don't remember, the friendship between the two of us is so good. "
The two have friendships, and they are more than ten years old.
But there wasn't much friendship at this point, at least not to the point where the old blind man gave up 100,000 gold coins.
Lester seemed to have guessed that the other party would have responded in this way, and was not in a hurry.
"Everyone understands, old blind man, I really can't give you 100,000 gold coins, but do you dare to take it from the guard?"
There is a reason why the old blind man has lived in the slums for so many years. For this reason, his identity is not even dared to be revealed, so his name, except for a few old friends who know it, is called him.
This also destined him to miss the reward from the guard, unless he dared to risk the identity of the guard.
The old blind man was pointed out of the pain in his heart, and his face was very ugly.
His family knew his family, so he knew it, and Lester was right.
Although there are many 100,000 gold coins, he dare not touch them, but even so, he is not willing to hand over such valuable news easily, unless Leicester can really give him the reward of his heart.
In fact, Leicester did not want the white wolf with empty gloves. In addition to a pot of wine, Leicester prepared other exchange terms.
"Give me the news, and I can help you smooth out your previous troubles, and let you live in the sun."
The old blinder froze, apparently Leicester's condition was beyond his expectation.
It is undeniable that Leicester's conditions are very attractive.
No one wants to live an incognito life, always beware of his identity exposure, and the old blind naturally wants to live in the sun, but the question is, what does Lester do to ensure that he can fulfill his promise?
"You're just the owner of a tavern. How could it be fair to me?" The old blind man's tone was agitated, and he seemed to be angry with Leicester for joking, "Don't forget, what's offending me Man, how blind my eyes are, it's up to you! "
Later, the old blind man's tone began to become bitter and mean, showing how his heart was shaken.
For the excitement of the old blind, Leicester is not surprised. In fact, if the other party believes at once, Leicester feels that there is something wrong with the other's brain.
As the old blind said, Leicester himself is just the owner of a tavern. Although he has a certain influence in some small circles, if he wants to provoke the existence of the old blind, he is undoubtedly trying to die.
But Leicester wasn't kidding, because he was dependent.
"You should know the name of Wang Jun? If it is him, do you think he can help you out?"
"The first king in a century, now the first person on the mainland, this adult is willing to take a shot, naturally there is no problem, but Lester, I still say that, you are just the owner of a tavern, even if the former I have been to your tavern a few times while in Carlsworth, but why did you move the other side? "
Although the old blind man can't stay behind closed doors on weekdays, it doesn't mean he knows nothing about the outside world.
He knew that Wang Jun and Leicester might have some relationship, but the difference in identity made him unable to believe that Leicester could really tell Wang Jun to help.
"Speaking of which you may not believe, Wang Jun is my old man. We once smashed the quasi-king Warcraft outside the city of Carlworth, and the relationship is too good."
The old blind man sneered and sneered a few times, apparently taking Leicester's words as the other's habitual arrogance.
There is no way, who made Lester like bragging has become popular, and this thing sounds unreliable in itself.
"If you want to use a lie to seduce me, you can roll away and remember to bring the door." The old blind apparently lost interest in this topic and wanted to catch someone.
But Leicester failed to achieve their goals, how could they leave?
Although the blind man was blind in front of him and his strength was not high, he had a unique ability to track everything he wanted to track.
At the very beginning, it was precisely because of this ability that he caused him to be in a state that he could not afford, causing his eyes to be blind, and he ended his adventurer career early.
Lester's investigations in the past few days have been fruitless. In desperation, he can only put hope on the old blind man. He is very confident that as long as the old blind man takes the shot, he can find two missing bodies.
"Old blind man, if you knew why I was looking for two bodies, you wouldn't think I was joking."
"Can it be done, or is that adult asking you?" The old blind man's tone was still sharp.
Lester didn't care, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's Wang Jun. He asked me to inquire. It can be said that as long as you find the two bodies, even if it helps him, you know, this But it's a king's favor. "
The old blind man's face changed obviously, but he still didn't fully believe what Leicester said.
After all, all this is too counterintuitive.
One is the owner of the tavern ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The bottom of the society, the other is the king who is superior and has the highest strength in the entire continent. The status of the two is so different that even if they meet, there is no real possibility friendship.
Besides, in the eyes of the old blind man, even if Wang Jun really wanted to find the two missing bodies, there seemed to be a lot of them.
For example, the guard team, such as the Academy League, which is even more powerful. How could it be possible to ask an inadequate tavern owner?
But Lester's rhetoric gave the old blind a little hesitation.
Although he thinks that the other party is lying, he also hopes that what he said is true.
After all, if it was Wang Jun's request, he only needed to find the two bodies that had disappeared from the security team, and since then he would not have to worry about living all day. This is an opportunity for him to change the luck in the second half of his life.
