Chapter 27: Everyone has a little secret

The road is muddy, and the impact of the heavy rain not long ago on this place has not ended. The city itself is relatively humid, as a slum here, crushed grass blades, excrement, and unknown strange objects. , Being stirred by carriages and pedestrians coming and going, the color looks disgusting.
　　 There is also an unbearable fishy smell in the air. The fishmongers on both sides deal with their harvest in this environment, and use these picked stinky fish and rotten shrimp to exchange dinar here. As a new colonial city, there shouldn't be such a large-scale slum area. Most of the people who come here are the leaders of the nobility and have a stable income.
Other free people who come here on the initiative have the courage beyond ordinary people to pursue wealth. They are just peaceful colonies for decades. In the past ten years orc invasions have not occurred here, or underground creatures of unknown origin, war refugees have been found there. A large number of them gathered in various large cities, creating the scar of this huge city.
When Xu Yichen and Vittoriya in cloaks appeared here, no matter the numb poor or the gang members on the road, they avoided them from a distance. Vittoria, like the good kind, seems to be easy to provoke, and strangers who are easy to provoke are synonymous with trouble here.
"Vittoriya, we need to find a local guide." Xu Yichen looked at the twists and turns here, and countless temporary constructions made it completely different from the map, but I don’t know if it’s too Vittoriya. With deterrence, everyone is far away from them.
"We should come again at night. Our goal is too obvious. It will startle the snake." Vittoria is familiar with this kind of reconnaissance mission. In this kind of slum, the enemy is hidden in the dark, and our side is as conspicuous as a light bulb. This situation reminded her of her days when she patrolled the Arab erosion zone.
　　 Xu Yichen shrugged helplessly: "No way, I'm not sure against the assassin who attacked me last time in the dark. My teacher said they are good at using the power of shadows. Forget it, use the dumbest way to find a snake."
　　 Xu Yichen found one of the people in the crowd who he most looked down upon. The skin on the outside of his clothes was covered with fancy patterns, and his frivolous expression made him different from ordinary poor people around him. He found that he was being spotted by a strange warrior not far away. The tattooed man turned around and had to rely on the crowd. Cover and leave.
　　 Vittoriya squeezed the crowd easily, Xu Yichen and the two followed the tattooed man so unhurriedly, and they chased him closer when they found him running slowly. In less than five minutes, the hapless guy ran into a building that looked better than the surrounding chaotic houses.
　　 Mike is a small person who lives in the slums. As a member of the indigenous gang here, his job besides guarding the door is to collect protection fees in the gang area and squeeze the last bit of oil stars from the poor ghosts. His most recent job is to collect business tax like those on the dark street—the official name of Boss Polk, by the way, warn them that the slums are not very peaceful recently, and people are often missing. If you find something wrong, you can use the news for some pocket money. .
At this moment, Mike’s heart was full of regret. He saw two foreign visitors on the street who looked uncomfortable. Thinking about the task that Boss confided, he paid more attention to the abnormal situation on the street and took a few more glances. , I did not expect to be chased all the way to the nest! Looking at the momentum of those two people, I wonder if Boss Polk can keep himself?
Xu Yichen looked at Vittoriya and signaled the lady to give priority. The heroine took the lead and pushed open the door of the dead room. With a force of 19 points, the door lock was stretched to its limit as if it were made of plasticine. Then it collapsed and flew. Vittoria bent over and walked into the room sideways under the horrified gaze of the people in the room, as if opening her bedroom door with ease.
　　 Xu Yichen followed closely and walked into the room. There were seven men in the room including the tattooed man who led the way before. The leading bald man raised his hands very consciously, and kicked a few younger brothers who subconsciously picked up daggers and sticks with their feet.
　　 "Two adults! If Mike does something to provoke you, please do what you want! I have no idea at all!" Bald sold his subordinates without hesitation.
　　 The tattooed man collapsed immediately and turned to face Xu Yichen with a grieved expression: "Two adults, I didn't do anything... Are you adventurers who came to investigate the little secrets of the slum?"
　　 Mike came up with a reason in a hurry, a pair of wretched little eyes innocently looked at the two outside guests.
----------------Dividing line----------------
　　 Anthony Dagang, garrison.
　　 A warrior covered in armor hurriedly walked into the room and said to the two people who were arguing: "My lord, UU reading www.uukānshu.com is not good!"
　　 too late to breathe, the soldier then reported: "Received a report this morning. The guards on patrol found that 14 more people were missing in the port area!"
　　 The original argument in the room ceased in summer.
Among the two arguing, the gorgeously dressed Sir Kasla of Port Anthony, this is a man in his early fifties who once followed the old earl to build the city. He raised his head and his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. .
Sir Casla said angrily: "Didn't the port area be on guard? How come someone has disappeared? You trash, when are you waiting for someone to take action against the city guard? You don't know who made it! What's the use of the investment of so much money from the City Guard!"
Opposite him was a young knight with a solemn face. After hearing this, he soothed Sir Casra and said in a deep voice: "Sir, it's time to give permission to the temple. I have real information that shows that he is a fallen chaos believer. Hidden in the city and making waves! This is not something that secular forces can handle. You don’t understand what the white fog that appears in the Black Forest means! Now is the time to give up the old prejudices! I must report to the church and send paladins to the city Conduct a large-scale investigation! Otherwise the city will be dangerous!"
　　Does it really need to use church power?
　　 Sir Casla showed a struggling hesitation on his face. In fact, he believed 70% to 80% of what the paladin said in front of him! Because what the paladins don’t know is that disappearances have started in the slums since last month. From the first few people disappeared, afterwards, every morning people will find that the entire street and the entire street are missing, even The gangs in the slums where life was the least valuable have begun to take the initiative to report the crime to the city guard.
　　 But what about the little secret between yourself and Antoine?
