Chapter 156: Brilliant City (2)
According to Warren's explanation, Ayton finally learned... The huge Huangyao City can roughly be divided into five areas, and in the middle is the Yaolan Palace, which covers an area of about one million square meters, which is equivalent to the size of 1.5 Forbidden City in his previous life.
The periphery can be divided into four areas about the size of the center.
To the north is the aristocratic district where the nobles gathered, to the east is the wealthy merchant district where the rich merchants gathered, and to the west is the imperial garrison and their families, the knights under the nobles, and the civilian area for handicraft occupations.
Finally, the area where Ayton is now... The South District, the slums and rat areas in the eyes of others, are the untouchables who live at the bottom of society.
The central palace is separated from the four areas by a more majestic wall, symbolizing the majesty of the royal family. There is also a clear dividing line between the four areas, which can be identified by outsiders, except that the demarcation line between the rat zone and the two adjacent areas is the most obvious.
Ayton sighed, it seems that some people, since birth, have been destined, if he is reborn in this place, whether he can reach the current status.
As Ayton was sorting out his newfound information, a row of ill-intentioned youths blocked Ayton's path.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment while I go talk to them. Warren's face was slightly gloomy, obviously knowing these young people in society.
Ayton nodded: "You go, remember we don't have time to waste"
Warren jumped out of the carriage and walked over, Ariel poked her head out of the carriage and said crisply: "Brother, no one cares about it here anyway, just dispose of it."
Ayton turned his head and looked at Ariel's pretty face helplessly: "Ariel, in the territory of human beings, don't be reckless, we are the rules of strength, but they have their rules, and intelligence is the first element"
"Oh, it's best to spy on the other party's information before assassinating, Mentor Shaperina has handed it over," Ariel nodded understandingly.
Ayton didn't know how she understood, anyway, let's see how Warren solves it first.
"What do you mean, Kenigh? they're my guests, and they're not your fish."
The leader of the gangsters, a tall and long-faced young man, Kenig stepped forward and whispered in a somewhat helpless tone: "It's not that we're going to fish, but... Black fingers. β
In the end, Kenig overpowered his voice very low, but it was still caught in the ears of the two Aytons' keen hearing.
"It's a black finger!" Warren was visibly afraid of the black finger in his mouth, took a step back, and looked back at Ayton nervously.
Ayton sighed deeply, how could he have so many things to do as soon as he entered the Yaolan Emperor Capital.
"Warren, for the sake of our friendship, get out of the way, we won't embarrass you. Kenig walked up to Warren and looked at him condescendingly. The young thugs behind him also surrounded Ayton's carriage.
Warren's expression changed, and in the end he moved away with difficulty, and the murderous reputation of the black finger was far from something that a basket-weaving teenager like him could resist.
"Do we just look like a bully, brother, do you want to do it or do it I?" Ariel had already poked her head out of the carriage, and her expression seemed to be unable to help but smile.
Ayton pressed her head back and said softly, "This kind of person doesn't need my Ariel's action, you can just watch the show inside." β
"Rob, hand over all your belongings" Kenig stood at the front, staring fiercely at Ayton.
Ayton smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Before the fight, can you tell me what Black Finger is, and why is it targeting us?"
Kenig was slightly stunned, and then there was a panic, what he just said was actually heard by him, if this temptation failed, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
"Oh, is Blackfinger a bunch of street rats with their heads and tails?" Ayton shouted, his expression full of disdain.
"Shut up, brothers," Kenig roared, drew a folding knife, and rushed forward first.
But this kind of ordinary person who doesn't even have fighting spirit, in Ayton's eyes, his attack is like a camera that has slowed down countless times, and he can avoid it at any time, and suddenly in the afterglow, a figure with a cloak is hiding in the corner, his eyes are secretly staring at him.
Really looking for death, Ayton sneered, bowed down and jumped out of the carriage, without pulling out the long sword on his back, and faced the ten ordinary thugs with his bare hands.
In an instant, fists smashed into the flesh, the sound of bones breaking sounded one after another, and the screams resounded through the sky.
By the time Warren reacted, Kenigh and his younger brothers had collapsed to the ground, their elbows, knees, or some vital joints had been cracked, and they had not recovered for days.
"Rao... Spare your life, my lord, let's get out of the way" Kenig clutched his aching arms, his long face full of fear, he never dreamed of what a terrifying existence he met with ordinary alien adventurers who did not wear logos.
Ayton ignored Kenig, who fell to the ground and begged for mercy, and in a few arrows, he reached the man in black hiding in the shadows, and slammed a heavy fist into his abdomen.
"Uh-uhhh
Ayton clapped his hands, "Now you can tell me what Black Finger is."
Ariel, bored in the carriage, jumped down and looked down at the group of people who had collapsed to the ground.
"You... Who are you?" the man in black took off his hood and looked at Ayton with a shudder.
Ayton tilted his head suddenly: "I'm asking you, you just have to answer, okay? I forgot to tell you, I'm in a bit of a bad mood today."
"Youβ" Kenig on the side saw that he was so ruthless, and looked at Warren with a pleading gaze.
"Don't look at him, he can't help you, let me ask you, it was Blackfinger who called you, how is Blackfinger's power?" Ayton slowly walked in front of Kenig and looked at him condescendingly.
Kenig's tongue twitched: "No... I don't know. β
Ayton glanced at the ordinary thug and ignored it, not because he was kind, but because he felt that the ordinary thug really didn't know about such a confidential matter.
Walking up to the man in black who was limp on the ground, with a bang, the long sword plunged deep into the gravel floor.
"Tell me, what is your purpose, don't tell me you don't know, or else..."
The man in black touched the filth on the corner of his mouth, stood up with difficulty, and looked at the black-haired boy with disdain: "You... Who is it? What family is it?"
Ayton tilted his head sideways and shook his head helplessly and laughed, then slammed into the black man in front of him, who flew out with a whoosh, a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Why do people always ask me which family is behind me? I tell you that the existence behind me is something you can never imagine. β
The man in black who flew out just wanted to be angry, but when he heard this, he finally held back.
"I'm sorry, it's the little one who has no eyes and no beads, and offended the two young masters"
Ayton snorted coldly: "Get out, don't let me see your Black Finger people again, otherwise I guarantee that your Black Finger will be removed from the imperial capital the next day." β
The man in black didn't leave immediately, he looked deeply at the two young men and girls on the spot, and then turned around and left with a few thugs.
"It's boring, what kind of garbage black finger white finger" Ariel muttered a sentence when she saw that there was no good show, and turned to get into the carriage.
Watching the group walk away, Ayton's gaze fell on the cowering Warren: "Let's go." β
Warren hesitated for a moment, and continued to lead the way, only this time he did not get into the carriage and led the two in the direction of the residence.
"What is Black Finger, and what is the power? Tell me everything you know," Ayton asked in a low voice as he asked what he wanted to know.
Warren turned his head and replied weakly, "The Black Fingers are the biggest gangster in the Southern Side, and it is said that the person behind them is a nobleman who lives in the Northern District."
"Their leader seems to be a fifth-order powerhouse, and there are ten fingers under him, all of them are fourth-order masters, and the person just now is just a third-order deacon, specializing in managing our group... People"
Ayton was a little sure in his heart, nodded and said, "Why do you think they came to trouble me?"
He wouldn't say this to the black-fingered deacon, and he didn't want to make a big fuss, so let's see if he could find out through the young man's mouth.
"Thisβ" Warren stole a glance at Ariel next to Ayton.
Ayton understood what he meant, but motioned for him to continue.
"With all due respect, it's very likely that Black Finger spied on your sister's posture before he moved his mind"
"Those people saw that you were weak, and it seemed that it was the first time they came to Huangyao, so they first asked Kenig to test your strength and identity, and if they had the chance, they created a case of disappearance at night."
Ayton was a little surprised, the security in the southern district of Huangyao City was so bad: "What's the situation? How can that 'black finger' be unscrupulous, don't you care about the security team in the southern district?"
Warren smiled bitterly: "Security team? Almost all of the security teams in the southern district are their people, except for people from other districts who intervene in it, otherwise the entire southern district, except for the 'demon', the 'black finger' is the only force that can cover the sky with one hand." β
"Demon?" When the two of them heard this word, their faces were very strange, could it be that there was still a demon hidden in the dignified Bright Blue Capital?
Warren reacted quickly and explained, "I'm sorry, I'm not talking about a demon from two thousand years ago, but a human being, just... How to say it... Anyway, the demon is a formidable presence in the entire Southern District, and it's best not to pray that you don't run into her... And even if she patronizes her, she can only swallow her anger, otherwise..."
"What would have happened otherwise?" Ayton heard of the woman, and his mind immediately made up the image of an old woman with a disheveled head, a fierce face, and a strong sense of revenge.
"You'll know then," Warren shook his head, not continuing on the subject.
