Rows of three or five storey high, the top of the house is scattered on both sides of the river, and the flowers and vines are covered with pennant shop signs, which are still and moving, and have a unique style.

The width is different, the rivers that shuttle through the city are like boats, and the bridges of different sizes and unique styles fall in the middle of the stars, which are beautiful.

The widest of the criss-crossed rivers is a tributary of the famous Lone Star River, which is more than 100 meters wide, and the narrowest is less than half a meter, and children often jump around on both sides, pretending to be giants, and can cross the river in one step.

There are almost no other means of transportation, not to mention traveling on a boat, that is, fighting and making trouble, and it is more on board to do it.

It's just that although there are waterways and canals everywhere, the official prohibits swimming and playing in public, so if you don't see groups of men rowing in the water, it is most likely that they are ignorant people who "commit crimes against the wind", and this kind of people are called "stupid" or "brain-dead" by the locals.

This is one of the four above-ground urban areas of Iron and Stone City, and the Diyao District, which has the reputation of "Water Capital".

"Baker Street, ah, it's not far ahead, I didn't think it was so easy to find. ”

Paddled a rented blue boat with a slender body, the same head and tail and all rolled up. With a few children playing and the hawkers along the way, Lockell crossed a three-hole stone bridge and saw a striking sign with the name of the street written in the distance.

"I said Lockel, are you sure that the people who live here are just like you, and they all want to go to heaven?"

Sitting sideways at the bow of the boat, with her hands gently propped up on the edge of the boat, soaking in the cool and clear river water with her bare feet, as a few white doves flew overhead, Xiao Suzu liked it more and more.

"Of course, it is said that the river that flows from the Heavenly Palace is called the Tianhe, and it is full of wishing stars that can fulfill wishes, and any one can make your dreams come true, but there are no wishing stars here," Speaking of this, Locker seemed to have something to say, but unconsciously the starlight in his eyes dimmed, and he paused for a moment, looking a little nervous, "Ah, by the way, remember not to swim in the water, and absolutely never dive into the water." ”

Seeing Locker's sudden chatter and serious appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be careful with her liver trembling, her knees curled, and her little feet came out of the water, pretending to be scared: "It's okay to soak your feet in the river, right?"

"Hmph, boring. ”

The little dragon, sitting cross-legged in the stern of the boat, with lollipops in his mouth and arms crossed in front of his chest, had no interest in what Lockel said.

"Aha, you're talking about things here," he stretched out his hand and pointed to the water, and the inverted triangular screw-headed strong man flashed his invincible sunglasses, "The young man didn't say nonsense, you must not go into the water, otherwise the law enforcers in the water will make you regret coming here without even having a chance to regret coming here." ”

"Enforcer?" Xiao Ling looked carefully underwater, there were a few swimming fish passing by in the clear water, and his eyes returned to the strong man, "By the way, Brother Invincible, do you and the doctor live here?"

It's hard to remember the doubts, since they met on the train, the screw-headed strong man in a suit and leather shoes and the doctor have been following Xiaoling and them, and they are inseparable.

"Don't be afraid, we're not human traffickers, don't worry, we just happen to be on the way, we'll turn around the river ahead and go find the person who invited us. ”

"It's up ahead, ah, Baker Street!"

Xiao Ling looked ahead, and the guide board for the river in front of him clearly included Baker Street.

The ticket when he came was also a "ticket" for the aliens to enter Ironstone City, and at the same time, it was also a kind of identity document other than the Aix Star people, no wonder he was accompanied by the mayor's secretary Lena when he bought the ticket at Sukna Station, and both Suzu and Xiaolong did a lot of checks.

On this trip to the city, Lockell first had to finish the work given to him by Uncle Derek, hand-delivering a brown paper box that was no bigger than an adult's palm and covered with duct tape to the recipient.

The boat rocks gently and rows into a meandering waterway five meters wide. Growing between the small buildings on both sides, the trees stretch out and stretch their arms to the opposite side, and the two intersect to form a unique and rich tree-lined waterway.

Between the branches and leaves, there are bunches of snow-white small flowers, a gust of wind blows, faint and fragrant flowers, refreshing people's hearts.

Suddenly, several small boats sped past the two small boats, and soon disappeared between the tree-lined waterways.

"Eight Baker Street, this is it. ”

He parked the blue boat beside a bluestone staircase that plunged into the water, disembarked and came ashore, and came to the door of a small gray-brown three-story building with a sense of age, Locker held the box of express mail in one hand and gently knocked on the door knocker twice with the other.

After a few moments, no one answered.

As soon as Locker raised his hand again, Xiao Ling suddenly gently held the young man's wrist with one hand, and held a low-hanging hemp rope under the eaves of the porch with the other.

"Who's renting, find somewhere else, it's already full!"

"Is that Mr. Dalf? ”

"Courier?"

As soon as I heard that it was a courier, a rush of footsteps quickly came from top to bottom and came in front of the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that the person who came downstairs was an old man of sixty years old, medium build, and simple clothes with a beard and short hair. Judging from the words and footsteps just now, this old man has a good physique, and most of him is a practitioner.

"Are you Mr. Dalf?"

"That's right, is this my delivery?"

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, eight-five-two-six!"

"Hmph, three-nine-one-seven. ”

"Nebula Express, the mission must be achieved, serve you, please sign!"

Locker suddenly squeezed out a professional and enthusiastic smile, and handed the express mail in one hand and the signature pen in the other hand to the old Mr. Dalf as he spoke.

"Hmph, grandson, I finally sent it to your grandfather. "E-book house

As he spoke, he took the express mail, opened the small package and looked at it before starting to write, and took out a small cloth bag covered with bubble wrap from it, and opened it to see that it was a homemade badge.

"Hmph, stinky boy, it's a gentleman when he talks, it's all like this, there's no way, grandpa, I can't break my word. ”

The old man was talking to himself, and vaguely, a tear seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Ah, excuse me, are you Mr. Dalf?"

As soon as he put away his badge and signed his name on the waybill, the voice of the doctor suddenly came from the bluestone staircase connecting the waterway and the small building.

"That's right, you're also a courier, aren't you?"

"Ah, I'm here to give it to you. ”

As he spoke, he saw the white-haired old man with an old suitcase in his right hand come to the door, put his left cane under his right armpit, reached out and took out a business card from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Dalf.

"Ah, you're Dr. Eins!"

Darff looked at the business card and then at the white-haired old man in the suit and leather shoes, and then couldn't help but look at the invincible brother who was grinning behind him with a sunny smile, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Ah, no wonder it's always with us, I see. ”

Xiao Ling was relieved to see this, the unknown city has been followed by two unknown weirdos, and whoever is left feel comfortable.

When the old man saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he asked, "By the way, did you see a bald young man along the way?"

"Bald young man?"

"Yes, yes, he also came by train today, it should be the Lone Star River, I think it should be the same as your train. As he spoke, the old man quickly took out a photo from his pocket, "You see, this is this person." ”

The three children, as well as the invincible brother and the doctor, looked at it and said in unison: "Is it him?"

It turned out that the photo was none other than the arrogant and sturdy bald man who caused the train to be delayed, hit five at a time on the platform, and caused a big riot.

At first glance, he recognized the bald man, so Darf simply took the two groups of people into the third floor of the small building, in his own room.

It turned out that this old Mr. Darff turned out to be one of the candidates for the gubernatorial election. And it's not the first time, this is the third time that this old man has participated, and the first two times were the first round of the main competition, but he is determined to win this time.

Not only did he replace his left arm, which was severely hyperostosis, but he also replaced a set of electromechanical lungs, which can be described as a great increase in combat power. In addition, he also spent a lot of money to hire four top masters, one of whom was the man with inverted triangle screws and sunglasses, an invincible brother.

"I'm afraid that the bald brother won't be able to come, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, affecting traffic and openly arresting, no one will say anything for half a year. Taking a sip of freshly ground bitter coffee, Dr. Einz spoke.

"What if we can unblock it?"

"Dredging, hehe, how many red envelopes are stuffed at this juncture, don't think about it if you don't detain him for a week. ”

"A week, that's troublesome, the registration deadline is two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the main competition will start in three days. ”

"No, I have to hire another player, but at this juncture, I'm afraid it's hard to find a suitable one, right?"

"Well, may I ask a question?" interrupting the conversation between the two old men, Xiao Ling said respectfully and quietly.

"Ah, it's okay little sister, just say what's wrong. As he spoke, Darff placed a plate of three cups of freshly squeezed orange juice in front of the three children.

"Thank you, well, if I'm not mistaken, the election contest is a team of five, right?"

"yes, that's right, everybody knows that. ”

"And who are your team members?

"Originally, there was only one missing, and one of my team members had already gone to look for it, and now the Buddhist master who claimed to be from Lanxing was arrested and put into the bureau, and there were already two people missing. ”

"Okay, I know, the candidate must also be a contestant, so you are one, and the other is the invincible brother you hired from the doctor, except for the lesser two, who is the other?"

In the words, the girl who always smiled seemed to have a little more anticipation.

"Haha, that person is quite reliable and powerful, he killed me in one move in the first round of the last general election, and he was eliminated all the way to the semi-finals because his teammates were all defeated, and he has been standing and fighting until the end, a hot-blooded macho real man!"

The old man suddenly became excited when he talked about the other team member, and it was not only him, but also Locker, who had just picked up the fresh orange juice next to him and put it to his mouth, suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and then stared at the suddenly energetic Dalf with wide eyes, motionless.

"Wow, such a powerful man, what's her name?" When she asked this, it seemed that Suzu had already made up her mind.

"Hehe, he came out of a small place called Yongji Village, in this Iron Stone City, relying on a pair of iron fists and full of blood to make a prestige, once set a record of 99 consecutive victories in the dungeon black boxing competition, and was called 'Iron Fist Beast' by the fans, Arcadis!"

At the end, the old man screamed, as if the person he was talking about had some kind of burning magic.

"Impossible!"

As soon as the juice was put back on the table, Locker suddenly stood up and stared at Darf with a look of disbelief and fists clenched......
