A few days later—

Thick bricks and stones are piled up into a huge city gate, the lines of blue-gray bricks are eroded by wind and rain, leaving a huge fortress that is not smooth but carved with vicissitudes, and the noisy voices pass by one after another, and the lively crowd flows endlessly, and the people with yar-capped hats stand under the city gate and happily explain what to a group of people in different costumes who have gathered around, maybe it is the same profession as a tour guide, Shen Yi thought casually, and then pulled Vivian behind him to retreat slightly, and the sound of a beep came from behind him, The vehicle drove past them, carrying a thick load, unlike any other vehicle he'd ever seen, and it didn't pull the powered creatures, and it was magic or something, he began to think. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ said Щщшlā

"Sir, miss, is there anything I can do for you?" He looked around curiously, and a little girl hurriedly ran over, and asked in front of him, the little girl wore a shabby peaked cap to cover her long hair, and was dressed as a boy in a somewhat washed white dress, looking at Shen Yi with an expectant face.

Vivian couldn't help but hide behind him, feeling her uneasiness, Shen Yi shook her head at the girl: "No need, little guy, I'm penniless now." ”

"Oh, that's a pity, sir......" The little girl lowered her head with a little frustration, thought for a moment, and then smiled again and said goodbye to them: "That...... Have a great trip! ”

"Thank you, little one."

Shen Yi smiled and touched the girl's head, stunned, the girl immediately stuck out her tongue and ran away, just now under the hat he seemed to touch something bulging, it can't be the ear...... That girl is an orc? Shen Yi, who woke up to this, looked over again, and the little girl had already run into the crowd and disappeared.

But even the orc's words should have nothing to do with him, shaking his head, leaving the boring speculation in his mind behind, he glanced strangely in the direction where the girl had disappeared, then gently took Vivien's hand and walked in the direction of the city gate.

The golden spider jumped out of his arms and crawled onto Vivien, rubbing her cheek gently, and Vivien's giggling laughter came from behind her: "That spider ran out again, I suspect it's a male spider, so fond of sticking to you." ”

As if to understand Shen Yi's words, the golden spider immediately opened its teeth and claws at Shen Yi, hissing and making a sound, Vivian smiled and touched its chest and abdomen: "Ah Yi, Xiaojin said that she is a female, not a male." ”

"It's all good, it's all spiders......"

Shen Yi waved his hand, the golden spider was found when he rescued Amy's convoy, because it was too small, and it seemed harmless to humans and animals, so he didn't take it to heart, if it was the size of an iron spider, of course Shen Yi would not keep it by his side, now looking back, at that time, he only thought about helping Amy and his party get out of danger, but he didn't expect to be crawled on his body by such a small thing, and when he went back to find Vivian, the golden spider jumped out of him, and then naturally stuck to Vivian, Listening to the laughter behind him, he shook his head indifferently, giving up on the plan to throw away the little spider of unknown origin, after all, it was not one of the few means to make Vivien forget her fear for a while.

The figures of the two men then passed through the city gate, and immediately appeared in front of them the lively streets, the bustling squares, the fountains thrown high by the water columns, and the carved lampposts all around, a little lively and crowded, children chased and ran in front of them, there were also old people sitting on chairs next to them, small traders selling in the distance, intersections in all directions, and many shops meandered away.

This is slightly different from the impression of Atlas, if he remembers correctly, Atlas, who had been here once, was not as lively as it is now, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, but this was not a question worth paying attention to, he didn't delve into it, feeling Vivian's palms stiff and cold because of uneasiness, he couldn't help but clench a little, and then felt her gradually relax, and he led her through the crowd.

Shen Yi's mind gradually turned away, the questions that should be considered, the questions that should not be considered, filtered through his mind again and again, the purpose of coming to Eteras this time was to find news about Isabella, and finding a place to live would become the biggest problem at present, after all, he was not familiar with Atlas, and he was not confident that he could find clues in three or five days, and then he had to consider trivial matters such as finding a job, after all, he was penniless now.

Thinking about the problem in his heart, Vivian followed closely behind him, and the two walked all the way, the cyan brick pavement was extremely thick, and the domed and minaret buildings stood on both sides, which was different from any architectural style in his memory, if this was with the characteristics of another world, Shen Yi couldn't help but think, he couldn't think of any solution for a while, and his original mind to consider the problem gradually fell on the different scenery around him.

Turning around the street corner, then Shen Yi's eyes widened slightly, and suddenly what appeared in front of him was a very strange scene, all kinds of shops standing at the intersection of the intersection, the changing water curtain shone thinly, like a three-dimensional image, all kinds of goods and models alternated on it, and above the street, under the reflection of a layer of screen, the sky that was still daytime just now changed into a starry dome.

He and Vivien walked over curiously, and even though they realized that from the gestures of the passers-by, this was probably a street selling luxury goods, and he looked over, and then responded to his not friendly gaze.

On the face of the well-dressed pedestrian, a pair of eyes that seemed to have a sense of superiority that could not be ignored swept over him, and then looked at him and Vivien with arrogant eyes, Vivian, who was originally slightly relaxed, couldn't help but get nervous again, and hid behind him tightly, he shook his head, but this is the same in any world.

His curiosity and surprise were diluted for a moment, and just as he turned to leave, a little girl was thrown out of the store, and then a crowd surrounded her, and he just glanced at it, and he probably recognized the little girl as the little girl he met at the door.

"Not me...... I didn't steal! ”

"If you say no, who can prove it?"

"That guy over there! I'm just in charge of getting him here. The little girl angrily pointed at the man standing in the crowd, but looking at the menacing shopkeeper, the man couldn't help but shrink back to the crowd and denied it: "I don't know, I don't know, I'm ...... I don't know you at all......"

"You...... How can this be, obviously you want me to bring you here! The little girl cried out aggrievedly, her eyes overflowing with tears, but the shopkeeper over there had lost his patience and glared at the little girl with a fierce look.

"Hand over the stolen things, or you'll be good-looking!"

“…… Whining...... I didn't steal at all, didn't I ...... Woohoo......"

"Okay, well, I've seen a lot of little beasts like you, and I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin, do you think it's okay to pretend to be pitiful now? Beat! Beat me hard until she's willing to hand it over. ”

Shen Yi originally thought that the other party would see that she was a little girl, and he would stop after a little lesson, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper was really beating to death, watching his subordinates greet the little girl with their fists to the flesh, he took out a stick from the store and knocked it down hard.

The little girl curled up on the ground, Shen Yi could see that she protected the fragile parts of her body well, and it was naturally not something to boast about being able to do this, on the contrary, such a move made him realize what the little girl's ordinary life was like, looking at her clumsy actions to protect herself, he knew that she could have such an instinct to protect herself probably because she was often beaten, but even so, the little girl still stubbornly shouted words like "I didn't steal it".

It was such a scene, he was a little unbearable, Vivian quietly pulled the corner of his clothes behind him, among the onlookers, the slightly enthusiastic people couldn't help but shake their heads, some wanted to stand up to stop it, some people began to persuade, but the shopkeeper snatched the little girl's hat, and a pair of short cat ears immediately appeared on her head, and then the little girl was rudely pulled by the hair and caught, accompanied by the shopkeeper's disdainful shout, as if an ugly play.

"Ha~ Look, what is this, orc little girl, I knew that this dirty little guy couldn't be human, and it was really guessed by me, it's really unlucky!"

“…… Yes...... Pain...... Let it go......"

The atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and the passers-by who were about to stop the shopkeeper no longer made any moves, as if acquiescing, Shen Yi frowned, and he even heard some unfriendly whispers in the crowd.

“…… Tsk, it's an orc, but I sympathized with her just now......"

“…… Just kill it, lowly orcs......"

“…… But she's still a child......"

“…… Shhhh......h

He shook his head, this is something he can't understand, people's selfishness can be divided into many kinds, for oneself and for others, but if even sympathy is deprived, it is difficult to say that it is human nature, it is almost indifferent and something, although he doesn't think he is very kind, at least some bottom line in his heart will drive him to do what he thinks is right, he thought, so he stood up.

"I'm sorry, shopkeeper, this little girl stole something, can I compensate you?" In the surprised gaze of the passers-by, Shen Yi stopped the shopkeeper from continuing to beat the little girl, this was not out of some noble personality, he just couldn't see it, whether it was an almost abusive beating, or the passers-by were indifferent after discovering that the little girl was an orc.

"She's your slave?"

“…… Well, it's kind of ......."

"Okay, a thousand meters, I'll just act like nothing happened."

The shopkeeper was also very happy to lose money, seeing that someone was willing to stand up and carry this black cauldron, he put down the little girl in disgust, Shen Yi glanced at the shopkeeper, and immediately had a plan in his heart, he pretended to take it out in his arms, and took out a currency like amethyst, of course, the money naturally could not be his.

And when she saw Shen Yi handing the money to the shopkeeper, the dying little girl struggled violently and said, "...... No...... Don't give him ...... I didn't steal ......"

"You little brute is still hard-mouthed!" The shopkeeper was about to slap the little girl, but was pulled by Shen Yi, who was one step ahead of him: "If this is the case, can we go?" ”

"Get out! Remember to take care of your slave in the future, and don't let her run out and do these petty thefts again! ”

"Yes, what you said makes sense, I'll keep it in mind......"

Shen Yi nodded very cooperatively, and then glanced at Vivian, then pulled the little girl who still wanted to argue and quickly disappeared at the end of the street, the shopkeeper glanced coldly at the back of the three of them leaving, and spit with disdain in his heart, and after a while, his angry voice echoed on the street again.

"Huh? Where's my purse? Which bastard stole my purse! ”
