(7.15 2nd Update)

Break away from the tangled fetters of vines, slip out of the scope of monitoring, and there is no trace of tracking.

"Young Master, according to your instructions, the fragile waterproof system has been destroyed, and the undercurrent is surging, and it will be completely paralyzed. Also, this is my latest top-down view of the city, which has a clearer picture of the city's surroundings. ”

Siqi handed me a simple map, using directions that only I could read.

Follow the central axis, turn left and enter the laneway, and an attic that should not appear is suddenly in front of you.

"Whew, it's lost again, similar encounters have become the norm for me."

The shadow cast on the wall also awkwardly cooperated with my self-deprecation.

This is my own adventure, taking advantage of the lazy moment in the afternoon, to carry out activities, the only regret is that the dark shadow accompanied by the stagnant rhythm, but still pretending to be the sadness of passing by.

"What do you want from this guest? Our shop deals in all kinds of rough stones, and also operates the mining area behind the scenes. ”

The store manager is very enthusiastic, and the abandoned entertainment is already an industrial chain on the verge of breaking.

"Frankly, coming here is a mistake. Rough stones? What's that construction? ”

"That goes back to the exploitation of the deposits, which is an affiliated industry. The so-called rough stone is an ordinary stone, which is very tough because it is distributed near the mining area, and it is also the raw material for carving. ”

The shopkeeper rubbed the stones, faint sparks, and the rock wall was slightly decomposing from the contact with the iron.

"It's not bad, but in a tight time, this kind of slow mental enjoyment is also difficult, right?"

I grabbed a touch of blue-brown, and as the luster faded, the mystery dissipated.

"Yes, the silence inside the city does not contain the chaos outside the city, and it is difficult to make ends meet at such times. However, I have a faint feeling that you will be my savior. ”

"A black-bellied nobleman is actually more suitable. What is this piece? Already yellowed in the base pad of the years. ”

"It's saltpeter, the cheapest goods, it's also a giveaway, and the miserable color is almost unwanted."

"Is it my unique cleanliness fetish? Always contrary to normal thinking, it shimmers with dazzling brilliance. ”

The store manager snapped his fingers, with an obscene look, which was a very strong sense of attachment.

"I also like similar colors, but it's hard to be recognizable by society. Since it's like-minded, how about transferring it to you cheaply? ”

The store manager flickered in front of him like a mentally retarded teenager, who could amass a grand fortune.

"Oh? The market has shrunk by 30%, which is my bottom line. ”

"This young master, you are just embarrassing me, a small business, and the most afraid of destroying the balance of the market."

"Since the store manager insists on going his own way, this five-figure deal can only be stranded."

"What? Master, my slow mind hasn't been able to keep up with your rhythm, five figures, it's not my auditory hallucination! ”

With a bewitching gesture, the store manager was like a flattering clown, and began to perfunctory me again.

"Yes, isn't there storage?"

"No, I have a huge amount of resources hoarded in my warehouse, but you are weak, how can you transfer it?"

I laughed contemptuously and patted the other customer on the shoulder, still a little strange.

"Would you mind helping me deliver the goods, this gentleman?"

"Ahh

The amazing man showed his exaggerated acting skills to the fullest, but he didn't know it.

"Don't worry, my friend will pay the fee, take it easy!"

"Yes, as the store manager, I can also compensate for some of the losses, and I can also promote you to the VIP of the store."

The store manager, who didn't understand the situation, also fooled the man, the so-called VIPs, in fact, to promote consumption.

"Then it's decided, please drive the carriage into the backyard, where the warehouse is."

The waiting time seemed to be long, and the lonely store manager carried a heavy load of goods, which were five wooden boxes.

"Young master, this is all my collection, how about it? Today, the beauty of adulthood is all handed over to you. ”

"Well, it's not bad. In addition to engraving, is there any connotation that can be developed? ”

"Not for the time being, but there is a remnant of an ancient tribe who still excavates the privacy in it, and they will come to buy it at the beginning of every month, maybe it is the inheritance of the practice."

The store manager lifted the wooden box, which was already moldy and smelled of soil.

At this moment, the man was also driving the carriage and slowly driving into the backyard.

"Friend, I'm going to bother you along the way, but I don't know the way back, so I'll ask you!"

"Okay, then about the price, I'm not blackmailing."

Very cunning thinking, the entanglement of work and remuneration, is not outrageous.

"Eh, you're very out-of-the-box like this, young master, let me pay for it."

The store manager took out a stack of banknotes, and after a stingy count, handed the man only two folded ones.

The man didn't buy it, like the grim stone, frozen in place.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and carry the goods!"

"Sorry, this part of the fee is still blank for the time being."

"What? What a greedy guy, I might consider disqualifying you as a VIP, take the money, and work! ”

The store manager threw out the folded banknote again, and when it was unfolded, it was very thin.

"So, manager, this is my bargaining chip. Also, are there skilled sculptors nearby? ”

"There used to be one in the middle of the West District, but I heard that because of the entanglement with the gang, he has escaped!"

"Well, I'm in control of the art smuggling gang, so you should know it."

"Yes, I'll do my best."

The old horses, dragging heavy loads, walked slowly but unpleasantly.

"Hey, that general sent you to follow me, right?"

I called out to the groom who was driving the cart, and he seemed shocked, but he tried his best to hide himself from my questioning.

"I don't understand what you mean, I don't know any generals."

"That's a very strange mystery, a road that I don't know well, but you know it very well!"

On the flat road, the carriage was slightly bumpy, as if it was reflecting the inner apprehension.

"It doesn't matter, though, I'm still gentle, so let's move on. Even if it's a daily communication, are you clear about the situation outside the city? ”

"Yes, the forces entrenched in the surrounding areas are all strong, and the Black Clothes Society has no advantage."

"Aren't you worried? The city may be broken at any time, and at that time, it is the moment when blood is shed. ”

"If it is hypocritical to say that there is no negativity, even General Vic will regret it in some bleak moments. Since you are on this path, any reparation will be of no avail, so, never surrender! ”

"It turned out that I was cut off, do you know why Vic invited me?"

I sat up and looked at the environment in the city, which was quite quiet.

"So far, it's been a mess. In many rumors in the outside world, you are portrayed as an invincible image, but the boy who is intoxicated by the stone carving is naïve. ”

"It's also true, I haven't had a mature demeanor at all. How did you join the Black Society? ”

"At that time, there were many channels, even on the streets, where there were places for consultation. Later, with the change of dynasty, it gradually disappeared. ”

"So, you're already a senior, do you even need to work hard to track down?"

"Yes, this is the charm of the Black Clothes Society, age can only be seniority, but promotion is a test of strength. So in the strict hierarchy of the Black Order, any jump is justified. And because of my irritable temper, I was impetuous, so I could only stay where I was, and I was always a subordinate. ”

It seems to be a very sad encounter, a tragedy that is not appreciated.

"Really? So why not choose to break away from the community to survive? ”

"It was a more difficult decision, not because of the fear of desertion, but because it was recognized by society and completely disappeared. Like a wild man who lives in the mountains all year round, returning to the city will be mistaken for a monster from the record. ”

"Oh? It's still a very apt metaphor, I can reveal a message to you, about the frontier warlords outside the city, who are about to enter the city, which can be regarded as an invitation adaptation. ”

The man's cold expression obviously didn't believe it, and in his eyes, I was just naïve.

"Really? That's a very broad prophecy, and at least for now, I haven't received any information about it. ”

"Soon, for example, now."

The crowd was flocking to one end of the city.

"Hey, what's going on? Is something big going on? ”

The citizens who were intercepted were very excited, and the joy that was active on their faces penetrated into their anxious hearts.

"It's reinforcements, and now it's in the city, I heard that there are more than 100,000 troops!"

"Reinforcements? How can there be reinforcements? This is already the core of the community, isn't it?"

"Yes, the friend I invited, the one from among the warlords, is slowly expanding. Thank you very much for the escort, otherwise I would have been hovering in place. However, there is one more thing, can you help me carry the wooden box to the top of the tree? I can't force my thin body. ”

The surprised man numbly manipulated his body, slowly pulling upward, with the pulley, it was perfect.

Ascending to the top of the tree again, the audience is densely packed with people, moving. (To be continued.) )
