Stacked on top of each other was a rotten apple core, and gray rats crouched beside it, gnawing on what little flesh was left, and after a while, dark red eyes looked at the people who appeared nearby.

It smelled something that didn't belong here, and it got nervous.

Meow!

A menacing roar rang out, and the rat swooped down the wooden box, followed by a dozen rats running over the drains with some remnants of snow and into holes in the walls around which garbage was piled up.

Above them, there are more than a dozen clothes poles hanging from the houses on both sides of the cramped alleyway, and some shabby clothes, including women's underwear, are just hanging outside, with no intention of privacy at all, or rather, the people here no longer have the heart to care about the privacy of clothes, they have more important matters to solve.

For example, food and clothing.

Such as survival.

"Alas~ Stephanie, I retract my previous attitude of indifference to the gap between the rich and the poor in Renas you mentioned, the gap here is really a bit exaggerated......"

In order to take Victor and the young men to transfer, Donald used the communicator he wore with him to get Stephanie to drive the carriage to the hiding place, and then relied on their guidance to the slum.

Donald thought it was a city with a simple life, but now it seems that it is not just a shabby, but a dilapidated state.

"Nearly 90% of the wealth of Renas City is concentrated in the rich area, which is the urban area we just entered, so their standard of living there is not as good as that of King's Sparrow Island or Manor District in Dirmingham, but it is also better than most of Tallinn, and correspondingly, the lives of the common people are much worse than those in other areas. ”

Stephanie's fingers pressed against a stone pillar next to her, and the wall fell in ashes, and she turned her head and continued helplessly,

"The Taros family, who control the city of Rainus, are a well-known "vampire" family in the Lane Empire, and they are themselves a ducal family, and their family members control several cities in the secular district, such as Rainus, who is controlled by Sevet Talos, who is known as the "Earl of Ghostface", and he is one of the heirs of the Tarros family. ”

"The notes you made are so detailed, it seems that I underestimated you before. ”

Looking at the notebook in Stephanie's hand with some surprise, it is not easy to refine the information to such an extent in a short period of time.

"Falsehood is what I heard from the staff inside the hotel. ”

"What about the truth?"

"The truth is this notebook I found on the windowsill at the door, and what I have just said is only a general summary of the above. ”

Stephanie said, placing the notebook in Donald's hand.

"Put it back, after all, it's someone else's thing, and if someone inside sees it, they'll think we're thieves." ”

Pushing things back again, his eyes turned to the dilapidated two-story building next to him, after they sent Victor here, many people gathered nearby, Donald's observation power needless to say, just standing by and watching, he took these people into his eyes one by one.

Unlike the numb and empty eyes he saw on the way here, most of the people who appeared here were young people, and they still had a sense of vitality in them, which was the only beautiful thing that Donald noticed in this dirty and cramped place at the moment.

"The young man who came here just now must have some kind of connection with Victor Kenstein, he is now wanted by the whole city of the Talos family, and there are so many people who have come to see him...... It's not so much that they came to see him, but more like they've been waiting for Victor here for a long time?"

Anthony held a lime in his hand, which he usually used to juice, and did not eat it, but put it in front of his nose, as a chef, his sense of smell was very sensitive, and if he did not use this method in this environment, he would be uncomfortable for a long time.

"These people, and the notebook, the people who live in the slums go to study the Talos family, and the meaning of this is somewhat intriguing. ”

There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, but you have to dig into the bottom of it to find out, and Donald doesn't have that mind right now.

"You saved him with a healing artifact, and I hope you can ask for some useful information...... Someone came out. ”

Anthony, who had been facing the house, looked at the girl in a gray dress running down the stairs and reminded Donald that she was standing in the doorway when they first arrived.

"Mr. Victor has woken up, and he wants to see you. ”

When the girl arrived at the door, she first took the notebook in her hand from the windowsill next to her, and looked at Donald and the others with gratitude and curiosity.

"Wake up at last, Anthony, please watch here, if anything happens, feel free to contact me. ”

Shaking the communicator in his hand, Donald was a little worried about the situation he had before, so he asked Anthony to stay here with the others and ask for information about the destruction, and it would be enough for him to go alone.

Following the girl into the house and ascending to the second floor, Donald saw seven or eight young men standing in the corridor, raised his hand and pressed the silk top hat, and walked forward calmly, and when he reached the bedroom door, he saw Victor Kenstein who had sat up from the bed at a glance.

"Looks like my cures are working pretty well. ”

Strictly speaking, the other party is just a stranger, Donald naturally will not be polite to him, and as soon as they meet, he reminds him, implying that he has spent a lot of money to save the other party.

"I'm fine, I have something to tell this gentleman, I need a little space. ”

Victor's voice was still a little weak, his already thin figure now seemed to be even more shaky, his mottled hair was hanging down in front of his forehead, and he looked like Anthony was about the same age, he patted the young man next to him, and motioned to the other people in the room to go out first.

"Call us if you have something, and we're right outside the door. ”

The young man said as he led the others out of the room.

Only the two people in the room remained, and they were speechless for a while.

Donald and Victor were both wondering how to speak, the former wondering if to ask him directly about the cause of the wound, and the latter simply didn't know how to speak, after all, he didn't know the person in front of him at all, and he didn't know why he wanted to save himself.

"Who caused the injury on your shoulder?"

Without dwelling on it for long, Donald decided to make it clear.

"Huh?"

Vidocq, who was about to open his mouth to ask the other party's name, heard Donald take the initiative to speak, and before he could react, he was silent for a while, remembering the person who had hit him hard and almost killed him, his mouth opened and closed several times, and finally spit out a title and its name,

"Death row inmate, Pope Salazar!"
