Along the way, there are low, simple wooden houses, or mud houses made of loess and bellflower mixed together.

The old and frail old men sat in the doorway with empty eyes, and some of the thin, age-revealing children ran barefoot and frolicked in the muddy alleys.

The children looked malnourished, and their happy eyes mingled with the empty gaze of the old men, which was a little uncomfortable to watch.

Following the address, Cheekbone finds the place where Big Brother Quinn once lived.

Since the uniform color of the history department is gray, there are several pieces of skull.

Chi Gu was wearing a gray samurai uniform, which stood out in this group of unclothed people, so that the old people and children on the left and right couldn't help but look at it.

Although it does not have the elaborate and gorgeous costumes of the aristocracy, these commoners know at a glance that this is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Chi Gu politely asked a few old people who were sitting at the door to spend time, and the old people just shook their heads numbly.

Chi Gu was not discouraged, and continued to ask as he walked. Fortunately, not much has changed here, and even the names of the streets are the same as they were more than a decade ago.

Just then, an old woman replied to Chibone's words.

"This young man, if no one knows about it, don't look for it again. Occasionally, new people move in and people leave.

Maybe they can't find a way to live, so they go somewhere else to earn a living. Maybe he starved to death, or he went to become a soldier and died on the battlefield.

Now it is the fastest place to get money, and my son died there, and I pity my old woman, who is about to sink into the ground, and I have not even seen him for the last time.

Look no further, you won't find it. ”

As she uttered the last few words, the old woman began to murmur in a low voice, as if she were caught up in a memory, or comforting herself.

A young man who looked to be dressed as a coolie in his twenties approached, and he crouched down and patted the old woman on the back and comforted her softly, and it seemed that this was not the first time that this kind young man had done this.

A fairly beautiful young woman approached, her dull dress with gray patches. She took a bowl of water and bent down to bring it to the old woman's mouth.

The old lady took a sip and took a sip, her eyes regained a little brightness, smiled gratefully at the two young men, and continued to fall into the memory.

"What are you looking for them?" asked the young coolie, after a moment's hesitation.

Chi Bone's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, a friend asked me to visit them, I just want to know how they are doing now?"

The young coolie was about to speak, but was dragged by his wife beside him.

"We don't know them, but my husband wants to say that if he has a job, he can do it, and he won't be paid more. The young woman said.

Seeing that his wife said this, the young coolie just lowered his head and stopped talking.

"If you know, please tell me, and I can pay you somewhat. ”

Seeing that the young coolie had something to say, Cheekbone inquired again and offered to pay him.

"Sorry, we don't know the people you're talking about, maybe your friend is mistaken. The young coolie whispered.

"It's okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

The bones couldn't figure out whether what they were saying was true or not, maybe they were worried, or maybe they really didn't know.

He remembered Brother Quinn's words that this matter could not be publicized, so he stopped bothering the young couple and continued to ask questions as he walked.

In the morning, most of the young people went to the carriage and horse shop to wait for work, and most of the people who stayed here were the old people and children. Chi Gu asked for a morning, but there was no useful news.

No one knew about these people, as if they had never existed.

He could see that the people here were nervous to talk to him, and some of them were so frightened that they turned around and went into the house when they saw him.

Chi Gu is going to leave, and he has come here a few times, so he is familiar with his face here, and everyone should not talk about guarding again.

At noon, Chi Gu casually ate some street snacks, and then planned to go to the mercenary union to have a look, and by the way, register for mercenary qualifications.

The Mercenary Guild is located on the busiest street in the northern part of the city, which is a world away from the slums in the northern part of the city.

The spacious streets are bustling with traffic, and countless stalls and shops of all sizes line the roads. The hawkers kept shouting, attracting the interest of pedestrians on the street.

Chi Gu was also attracted by this lively scene, and followed the flow of people to visit the North City Market.

The mercenaries have always lived a life of licking blood with knives, and they spend money no worse than those rich old men.

Therefore, the Beicheng Market has also become the largest trading center for goods in the entire Eastern Continent.

It is said to be a bazaar, but it is much more formal than an ordinary bazaar, with rows of wide shops like long snakes.

As the flow of people passed, it was impossible to stop walking for an hour. If you still don't get what you want, you can also check out the stall area.

The stall area is a place where you can sell for a day as long as you pay a day's rent.

Most of these freelancers are mercenaries and hunters who sell materials for Warcraft or treasures obtained in dangerous places.

The consignees in the bazaar will only buy materials at the lowest price. Unless they are in a hurry to use the money, the mercenaries prefer to spend a small amount of money and some time to set up a stall here.

Maybe you can wait for a buyer who knows the goods and sell it for a large price.

You can also buy some things here that come from the wrong way, which is not difficult to understand, the stalls are settled every day, and they will leave when they are sold out, so naturally you don't have to worry about the owner coming to the door.

Cheekbones enter a shop selling pocket watches.

The tool for recording time is still a novelty for the Worm Bone who has just arrived in Xavier.

There is no formal unit of time in the tribe, and people always rely on the sun and shadows to distinguish the approximate time.

The watch is a purely mechanical creation, and there is a wall clock sent by Vic in the dormitory of the bones. Of course, there are some extravagant guys who turn it into a magical alchemy creation.

Chi Bone had seen many people wear a pocket watch on his body, he was not used to that thing, the inside of the delicate pocket watch was too fragile.

But now the skull has to be worn. Most people here have a very precise concept of time, and people who don't have a general concept of time will be treated as monsters.

The storefront is covered with a beautiful wooden display table covered with carefully trimmed white wool. Pieces of delicate metal pocket watches are neatly arranged on soft fur, giving people a feeling of preciousness.

"Sir, do you need me to introduce you?" said the boss standing behind the display stand, smiling professionally.

Glancing at the metal pocket watches on the display, he shook his head slightly, and he could see at a glance that these pocket watches were just ordinary copper products.

Copper has a soft texture and is not suitable for a strong man like a skull. Although he has been able to control his strength well, he will not damage some fragile things around him due to excessive strength.

However, due to his personality, Chi Bone prefers some sturdy carry-on items. As his strength grew, the Bone grew more and more eager for the feeling that would allow him to knead unbridledly.

"Are there any hard, I mean stiff pocket watches?" asked Cheekbone.

"Sir, the toughest thing we have here is a pocket watch made of black gold steel. But as you know, the internal parts of pocket watches are fragile, and no matter how hard the case is, you can't fall hard. ”

The boss is very confident in his ability to recognize people. The young man in front of him was well-dressed, with a tall body and well-proportioned muscles, and at first glance he was a noble young master with good skills.

"Is black steel harder than gold, and can't the parts inside be replaced with hard parts?"

Bone was completely blind to the pocket watch, and for him, anything related to machinery and magic was incredible.

The boss was a little curious as to why this young man who seemed to have a lot of status didn't even know this common sense. But he smiled and opened the shell of a pocket watch, revealing the delicate parts inside to the bone.

"You see, sir, every individual part in this is a hard metal, and even a soft mainspring can easily withstand the impact.

But when they are combined, it is different, and a clever force can paralyze this watch. So it's the same even if it's replaced with the hardest metal.

As for the black gold steel, unfortunately, it is not as hard as the gold iron, but it is light enough. ”

The boss took out five pocket watches made of so-called black gold steel and placed them on the counter.

The color of black gold steel is dark in gold, which looks very simple, and it is quite heavy to start, at least a little heavier than ordinary steel materials.

When the boss asks the boss why it is not as hard as gold and iron, it can be sold for such a high price.

But the owner of the watch shop said, "Sir, he is a work of art." ”

Chi Bone chose a pocket watch engraved with a thorn bird pattern on it. Ever since he learned about the habits of this bird, he has fallen in love with it.

After handing over the two thousand gold coins with some distress, Chi Gu left the watch shop.

Bone went back to the weapons shop and the armor shop, but soon he was out.

There are more than 5,000 gold coins left that are not enough for him to buy any equipment, and he is really shy in his pocket.

Before I knew it, I had strolled into the stall area, and there were obviously more people staying here. Chi Gu was also stunned by what was being sold at these stalls.

Stalls don't sell only one type of item like a market. They usually set up stalls with the loot from one or several adventures, so the goods are usually cluttered.

The stall in front of Chi Gu was obviously very good at slaughtering demonic beasts, and the stall was filled with organs, blood, leather armor, bone horns, and the like of various demonic beasts.

Because the flesh and bones of demonic beasts have been strengthened by magic power all year round, even after death, the decay rate is several times slower than that of ordinary beasts.

Obviously, the goods of this stall are very attractive, and there are already many magicians and alchemists in robes.

Suddenly, something somewhat familiar caught Chibone's attention.

He saw a mask, apparently made from the facial bones of a humanoid species. There are no jaws and nostrils, no incisors and molars, only a mouth full of fangs and high cheekbones.

The facial bones are slightly yellow, and the eyebrow bones are slightly protruding and slightly raised, giving people a vicious illusion.

The mask is not held in place by a rope, but instead has two beast-like horns growing out of its forehead that fit right on the user's head.

The reason why it feels familiar is that the tribe where the bone is located also has the habit of wearing animal bone masks, in order to intimidate people from other tribes and ferocious beasts.

The skull also used to have a mask made of the face bones of a wild wolf, and it was also inlaid with the curved horns of scimitar. He had personally hunted it and had it polished by the tribe's best artisan uncle.
