Chapter 167: The Countless Souls Stepping Under the City of Decres (3)
PS: I smile, but I cry silently; It's not because I'm sad, it's because no matter how sad I am, I'm going to swallow tears in my stomach. - Crocoxib.
"Boss Glenn, please give me a lot of advice when we meet for the first time!" Ke Luo Kexi walked straight in front of a middle-aged man and said politely.
The man looked very calm, looked into Korocosi's eyes and said, "Don't tell me, that's what you guessed." (But Rocoxi: What I just said to the bartender, he can actually know, is his hearing so good?) Or is he using some kind of magic? )。
Roccoti covered her mouth and laughed, Glenn felt that this seemingly weak girl really had extraordinary wisdom, so she took a deep sip of wine and was about to listen to her wonderful reasoning, only to see Roccoti shrug her shoulders, sit down in front of her and say, "You don't need to find a bartender when you see a customer drinking." ”。
Glenn instantly remembered that he had just found a bottle of wine from the cabinet to drink, and smiled awkwardly and a little disappointed, and said, "It is worthy of Miss Korocoxi, this extraordinary eyesight and incomparable wisdom really amaze me!" Well, come with me, Lady Avri has been waiting for you for a long time! ”。 But Roccotie smiled helplessly, and followed Glenn into the storeroom.
The bar was very retro, the rough walls were unadorned, and even the utensils were full of signs of age, and Glenn turned the bronze statue of the villain in the hidden corner of the storeroom, and the stone slab on the floor of the storeroom rattled slightly, and then the middle stone slab opened wide, revealing the stone staircase that went down. "Miss Roccotie probably didn't expect that the city under Decres is actually hollow, and the underground world is the true face of Decres City!" Glenn said excitedly, but Locoxi nodded slightly, and followed Glenn.
Walking down, a cold and slightly foul smell came to my face, the ladder was very long, still circling, and there was an oil lamp next to the stone wall. But Roccotie agreed with Glenn, because all her doubts in Decres City must be found here. But Roccot's true reasoning was not usually spoken, and her mind was constantly reasoning, and from the beginning to now she was thinking: "This bar is so incompatible with the opulent city, and there must be a reason why it has not been banned!" Looking at the bar again, the other people looked like ordinary laborers, and although the Glenn guy was dressed in a similar way, the mismatched but valuable things on his body were worthy of my attention, most likely through bribery. I think only the boss here has the right to send the laborers below to drink the bar without permission! Coupled with that guy's unique temperament and smooth hands, I can determine the identity of that guy. I think the place he's taking me to now must be the real city of Decresse! ”。
Thinking of this, he had already reached the bottom, but Luo Kexi probably guessed what the underground looked like, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated! Because in front of her is a huge underground space!
Coal, ore, oil refining, a wave of industrial breath is coming! Layer by layer, circle by circle, countless ragged workers, pushing carts to carry heavy raw materials, soldiers with whips next to them whipping the workers who want to fall, the bottom layer is a fiery red flowing, bottomless, I don't know if it is hot magma, anyway, the heat is constantly coming out of the upper layer, but Luo Kexi's brows are tightly locked, she can be sure that this is indeed a country of sin, a country wearing an ugly mask.
In the face of everything in front of him, Korokoxi looked a little distracted, and Boss Glenn opened his arms and shouted excitedly: "Miss Korokoxi, this is the raw material area, and the inexhaustible raw materials in the Decres Mountains will be transported to the industrial area in large quantities from here, don't you feel the underworld under Decress City!" ”。
Korokosi stepped forward, and a column of workers carrying ore in bamboo baskets walked in an orderly manner to the gloomy cave in the distance, and the sound of forging and smelting could be heard, their steps were very heavy, not so much laborers, but slaves, their rags and clothes were full of patches, and they were not as clean as the rags of the nobles living on the ground, and the soldiers under supervision slaughtered mercilessly, using their lives to create worthless toys for the nobles on the ground. The smell of sweat from every worker who approached Korokoxi's side made her want to pinch her nose, and her head was a little dizzy from the sweltering underground swelling, more suffocating than the smell of the poorest slums on earth.
But Rocco didn't have time to sigh, Glenn led her to another place, Glenn said as he walked: "The nobles living on the ground only account for less than 10% of the population of DeCress City, so the underground is the core of DeCress City, and the underground world is also called the slave area, which is the place where money, weapons, goods and slaves are created for the entire DeCresse!" ”。
"Slave creation?" Arcotus asked, and Glenn replied mockingly, "In the slave quarter, slave-born children are born slaves, so this is where slaves were created!" However, if you want to turn over, the man is either too strong, and as long as he passes the exam, he can turn over and become a soldier; The woman is either beautiful, as long as she is willing to accept the destruction of the nobles, she can turn over to the ground and become a maid, if she does not have these two things, she can only live underground for the rest of her life, in order to eat, work hard until she dies of old age or is beaten to death. ”。
"Hahaha." Korokoxi laughed, and Glenn squinted at Korokoxi, looking a little unhappy, because his words did not frighten Korokoxi, and only heard Korokoxi say, "What an interesting system!" It seems that if I don't do good things for Miss Avri, I'll end up like them. The corners of Glenn's mouth rose slightly, and he muttered, "It seems that you are indeed very smart." ”。
After walking for a distance, I gradually moved away from the raw material area, this underground world is very spacious, and the street lamps made of kerosene are one after another, none of them are extinguished, and I don't know if it is "nuclear energy". It is also very lively along the way, there are many pedestrians, and there are even stalls on both sides, bustling and shouting, it is simply a big underground market! However, every shuttle slave is looking at Korokoxi, a neat, fair-skinned girl, with strange eyes, and the expression of every passerby is as if she has discovered an alien, which makes Korokoxi feel very numb, she understands that most of the slaves here have never seen light in their lives, and have never been to the aristocratic area, so a clean person like herself has naturally not seen it, which can't help but make Korokoxi sympathetic, she sighed how happy the earth she used to live on, And when he came into this world, he was just a cold bystander.
But Luo Kexi is also thinking about a lot of questions as he walks, this place is completely closed, and the slaves here must be completely unaware of their feat in the palace, plus the slaves here have been obedient for so long, and if they want to start a riot, they may be betrayed in exchange for rewards, if they don't use these people, I'm afraid they will really be left alone, and if they want to escape, I'm afraid they won't even have a response. Finally, why did Avri want me here? Crocosi kept watching, because any one detail could turn the tide.
Soon, Glenn descended the stairs with Korocosi to the business district of the Underworld.
