Since Huang Cang and Kai Dun had eaten too much and were not hungry now, Huang Cang and Kai Dun found some dead leaves left over from the winter and piled them together as beds for the time being, ready to sleep.

Kai Dun said: "Brother Huangcang, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to find the elven clan this time. If you want to set foot in every corner of the Barron Empire, I'm afraid two years is not enough. What's more, it is not known if any other countries have been involved in those captive elves, and if there is, it will be even more troublesome. ”

Huang Cang thought for a while and said, "Brother Kaiton, we discussed last time, since those elven clansmen were taken away by the killers, they should be sold to the big nobles who can make the starting price, I think, since they are big nobles, they shouldn't be in some remote places." Although the Barron Empire is very large, there should not be too many cities inhabited by big nobles, as long as we take these big cities as the primary target to look for them first, there should be a certain harvest, as long as we can find the people of the elf race, from their mouths, we will inevitably learn some information, and then look for it, it will be much more convenient, what do you say?"

Kai Dun looked at Huang Cang with a smile, and only after a while did he react, and said with a smile: "Huang Cang, when did you become smart." That's a great way to do it!"

Huang Cang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I can't say that I'm not smart, I just said it when I suddenly had this idea, big brother, do you think it's feasible?"

Kai Dun laughed and said, "Of course it's possible, this may be the best way now, come, let me see, which is the nearest big city to us?" "Well, this is it, we're in the Dark City, the Dark City is the largest city here, and it's very close to here. Let's start here, and then let's search the capital of each province, and finally the capital of the Barron Empire. ”

Huang Cang nodded and said, "Okay, then let's hurry up tomorrow and go directly to the Dark City." Let's hope this first stop will be rewarding. With that, Caedon got up and left.

For a long time, bursts of crying kept coming from afar, "Let go of me, let me go, you let me die, let me die." What is the point of my life. ”。

Kaiton's body soared up, landed beside Huang Cang, let go of his hand, and threw the person he was caught on the ground, it was a middle-aged man, his clothes were torn in many places, his face was pale, and he looked embarrassed, he was thrown to the ground, he suddenly screamed in pain, got up, pointed at Kaiton's nose and scolded, "You dwarf winter melon, who uses you to meddle in things, don't I even have the right to die? He spoke fluent Barentian Chinese, and both of them could barely understand it.

His scolding can be regarded as touching Kaiton's scales, a black light flashed, a battle axe was already on his neck, and Kaiton said hatefully: "Who do you say is the dwarf winter melon?"

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Of course you mean you, you kill it, it's just right to kill me, I don't want to live for a long time." ”

Huang Cang looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and asked, "Brother Kaiton, what's going on, where did you find this person to come back?" ”

Kai Dun said angrily: "This guy is a bastard, I just saw him in the woods that he was about to hang himself, and kindly saved him, but he scolded me, I knew it would be better for him to die." ”

Huang Cang stood up, walked to the middle-aged man's side, tossed Kaiton's battle axe aside, and said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle, you can't think about anything, you have to die? ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Huang Cang, "Nonsense, since I want to die, I don't want to live again, what's the point of me living! I have nothing, nothing." As he spoke, his emotions stirred up again.

Huang Cang pressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, and injected a pure Xuantian True Qi into his body, the True Qi moistened the middle-aged man's body with vigorous vitality, his face was a little ruddy, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he sat on the ground with his ass, his eyes became dull.

Huang Cang glanced at Kai Dun, squatted beside the middle-aged man, and asked, "Uncle, what is forcing you to go to a dead end? ”

The middle-aged man looked at Huang Cang, only to find that he was dressed as a magician, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he muttered: "I was originally a rich merchant in the dark city, a year ago, I was still a group of wives and concubines, and my family was rich, but in this year's time, I actually lost everything! What do you mean by saying that I am alive, I am already in my forties, and it is impossible to make a comeback." ”

He told what had happened to him. It turned out that this person's name was Carl, who was originally in the dark city to sell medicinal materials, after more than ten years of hard work, he put down a huge family business, people reached middle age, the heart of struggle gradually decreased, and began to stick to what he did, bought a mansion and shop in the dark city, and still did a living of dealing in medicines, because the security of the dark city is not good, there are often fights, so the demand for drugs is great, his business is getting more and more prosperous, even people from other provinces and cities will come to buy, a few years later, in the dark city is also a little famous。 When people have money, they will gradually degenerate, and beauty and gambling have naturally become his hobbies, not only marrying more than a dozen wives and concubines, but also starting gambling at the instigation of several fox friends and dog friends. As soon as the gambling thing sticks to it, the addiction will soon become bigger and bigger, and at the beginning, he can still make small gambles, and losing some money is nothing to him? But with the encouragement of his friends, and his own gambling addiction is getting bigger and bigger, the bets will also be doubled, and soon, he will become a high-roller who spends a lot of money. The money kept disappearing like flowing water, and after a year, he not only lost his family property, but also owed a lot of gambling debts, and even his wives and concubines ran away and became a loner.

The day before yesterday, the people in the casino came to force the debt again, in order to escape for his life, he had to run out of the dark city, two days and two nights spent in fear, so that Carl was close to the verge of collapse, he felt that he had lost everything, and he was still being hunted down alive, it was better to end himself, so he untied his belt in the woods and prepared to hang himself, at this time he happened to meet the armor who went to pick up firewood, and saved him.

After listening to Carl's story, he couldn't help but gasp, because his father's discipline was very strict since he was a child, and he had never been exposed to such things as gambling at all, although he didn't quite understand what gambling was, but he was also deeply surprised by the harm it caused, "Uncle, is gambling so terrible? It can force you to a dead end." If only I didn't gamble. ”

Carl laughed, "You're talking about it easily. Gambling is more addictive than beautiful women, it can make you rich overnight, it can also make you poor, although there are few people who win, but most people are always happy to do it, they can't control themselves at all, as soon as they have money in their hands, they will feel itchy. The gambling industry in the Dark City is very developed, and almost everyone from eighty-year-olds to teenage children does not gamble. It's not just one or two people like me who are bankrupt. ”

Kai Dun snorted disdainfully, and said: "You are all self-inflicted, you have a comfortable life, but you want to plunge into the abyss of gambling, and you are the one who forced yourself to this desperate road." ”

Karl sighed and said bitterly, "Yes! I forced myself. But, little brother, you don't know, when a person has a lot of money to spend and not play, he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy. His soul was so empty, in order to find a spiritual comfort, I embarked on this road of no return. I regret it now, but what's the use of regretting? I've lost everything, it's irretrievable. Now for me, maybe death is the best relief. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not gamble anymore, you better let me die, I have no hope. ”

Huang Cang hurriedly said: "If you don't come to life, you are not very old now! There is still time for redevelopment, what is this, you have to cheer up, you can return to your old business, maybe you can restore the glory of the past!" Of course, he couldn't watch Carl commit suicide, so he could only try his best to comfort him.

Karl sighed and said, "It's impossible. I don't have the vigor of my youth now, and I don't have any children, so I can say that I don't have any worries now. Thank you for listening to me, and I'd better leave. Find a place to end yourself, save yourself from causing you trouble, death is my best relief. Perhaps, the casino debt chasers are almost here. ”

Huang Cang grabbed Carl, who wanted to stand up, and said, "Don't be like this, isn't it just some money?"

Karl glanced at Huang Cang and said, "Although you are a magician, what I owe is not a small amount, it is enough for tens of thousands of gold coins! Hey——, in the past, more than 10,000 gold coins was nothing to me, but now it's different, even if you sell me, I'm afraid it's not worth one percent. ”

Huang Cangleng paused for a moment and said, "Tens of thousands of gold coins?" This number reminded him of what Nar said to him when he was in the City of Light, as a mage of the Magician Guild, he could mobilize less than 10,000 gold coins in any branch, isn't it equivalent to having tens of thousands of gold coins? Since it is to save people, it is not a waste of money. Thinking of this, he resolutely said: "Isn't it just tens of thousands of gold coins?" Uncle, don't worry, I'll help you pay it back." Then you can get back on your life, and it's too late to start over!"

Karl's eyes lit up, grabbed Huang Cang's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, you, what did you say?"
