Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Chaotic Lower Town
"Shiro, where does your uncle live?"
Xilu said with some embarrassment: "In the lower city, there are a lot of people mixed there, and I was almost abducted by human traffickers when I was a child. ”
"It's good that the passing knight saved me, otherwise I don't know what would have become of me now." Shiro was grateful to the knight, but unfortunately she only knew that the other party's matching sword had the red rose emblem on it, and she had no clue about the rest.
Xilu has been saving money to make her sister live in a better environment.
It's a pity that after entering the society, I found that even if she is a magician, a junior magician of her level can't earn much money after all kinds of expenses.
"I bought you a set of professional alchemy equipment, and I will improve the quality of a potion for a while, and sell it for your sister to keep more money when the time comes." Chu Yun didn't provide direct financial assistance, he knew that Xilu wouldn't accept it, and it would also hurt her self-esteem.
In this way, she can not only urge Xilu to study, but also let her appreciate the monetary value of alchemy.
Sure enough, hearing Chu Yun's words, Xilu suddenly came to his senses: "Really? Thank you, teacher! When are we going to start alchemy? ”
"Don't be in a hurry, take me to downtown first, I want to know more about the city." Chu Yun wanted to see if he could meet a suitable transformation target.
"Yes, teacher, you are from the Eastern Continent, you must be curious about the situation here. But you'd better not get your hopes up. Shiro continued, "If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, I'll let him taste my fireball technique!" ”
Xilu is a junior magician, and she also has a certain deterrent power in the lower city, ordinary hooligans and gangsters don't dare to trouble her, and her uncle's family can be regarded as a small backer.
Xiacheng District was some distance from the hotel, and Chu Yun called a luxury carriage that was waiting for distinguished guests at the entrance of the hotel and drove towards Xiacheng.
Xilu couldn't help but smack his tongue, such a carriage ride cost several silver coins at a time, and passers-by along the way looked at the two people in the carriage with envy.
"Shilu is going to be a rich man too!" The desire for alchemy in Xilu's heart became stronger and stronger, and she was eager to start alchemy immediately.
The lower part of Sekka is located in the northwest corner of the city, where in addition to the civilians of Seka, there are many rural and out-of-town workers, and even many sub-human people.
Of course, these subhuman races are not cute races like the fox and cat races, but subordinate subhuman races like the Minotaurs and Pig-headed People.
These subhumans are usually confined to hard work, and even as professionals, they are treated unfairly, and they are paid much less for the same work than humans.
Even so, there is more than what is earned in the tribe, so many subhuman races come to the human world every year to seek development.
In fact, many of these sub-people are very tame and friendly, but their living habits are different from those of humans, such as not liking to take a bath and being full of insects, such as eating habits, etc......
In general, subhumans who are closer to humans in appearance are treated better, and subhumans whose faces retain most of the characteristics of humans are called median subhumans.
Mia's cat tribe is one of the median subhumans, and because their appearance and living habits are closer to humans, they are also easier to integrate into human society.
In most cases, humans are talking about these two types of subhumans, and the superior subhumans are more special, usually referring to the offspring born of mixed blood with humans.
This kind of offspring not only retains the special racial strength of the subhuman race, but also has almost the same appearance as humans, and is indistinguishable from humans, so they are called superior subhumans.
In addition to humans and subhumans, there are also elves, dwarves, titans, dragons and other intelligent races with racial civilization. These people are on a similar level to humans, and some are even higher than humans.
The carriage slowly moved forward in the middle of the city, and a group of soldiers in armor crossed the crossroads, and the carriage couldn't help but stop.
"Huh? Teacher, isn't that Rena? Xilu looked at the group of soldiers curiously, and suddenly found her acquaintance.
Chu Yun heard Xilu's reminder and looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, the leader of this group of soldiers was none other than the mid-level knight Rena.
Unexpectedly, she didn't see her for a day, and she actually became a soldier squadron leader.
The number of this army of soldiers was about thirty people, according to the establishment of the city of Seca.
The trainee soldiers should be ordinary soldiers, and the three junior soldiers are squad leaders, and Rena's position as a mid-level knight is not a big problem as a squadron leader.
The strength of some captains is still only intermediate, and Rena's strength is considered high-level even among mid-level knights, and as long as she makes some contributions, she may be able to be promoted to captain.
"It seems that Rena has figured it out, instead of hiding in front of people, it is better to stand in front of everyone and prove herself." Chu Yun appreciated Rena's choice.
Xilu was a little unhappy: "I hope Rena won't be like those city guards." ”
"Don't worry, maybe with Rena joining, it will change the current situation, she is an honest knight." Chu Yun said with a smile.
Seeing Rena leave in a hurry, Xilu could only think so.
Wait until the soldiers in the way have left, and the carriage sets off again.
After about half an hour, the car finally came to the vicinity of the lower city.
"This gentleman, the front is Xiacheng, the road there is too small for such a large carriage to drive into, if necessary, I can arrange a smaller carriage for you." He didn't understand why a distinguished guest like Chu Yun came back to the messy Xiacheng District, but as a dedicated old driver, he still gave a solution.
"Thanks, no need."
The two men left the carriage and entered the lower town.
"By the way, Shiro, how old is your sister?"
Chu Yun knew that she had a younger sister, but she rarely mentioned it in front of Chu Yun because her family was poor.
"Sister, she's 9 years old,"
"At this age...... Let's go see your sister first and see what her potential is. ”
Xilu didn't want to take Chu Yun to her home, but she was overjoyed when she heard this proposal.
"Teacher, teacher, if you have good talent, do you want to take her as an apprentice?"
"Teacher, I'm a wanderer, it's impossible to take a child as a student, if she has good qualifications, you can study hard for me, and then teach her yourself later." Chu Yun didn't want to teach anyone anymore, one student was enough for him to vent his desire to teach, and another one was just trouble.
Although Xilu has a little regret, but now the talent has not been tested and it is too early to think so much, although she found that her sister seems to be stronger than herself through comparison, but she does not know the real level.
The two continued to move forward, and Chu Yun observed his surroundings along the way.
In fact, it is not as unbearable as imagined, at least most of the civilians are still thrifty and hygienic, but the houses are relatively old, and the roads are seriously damaged and no one has repaired them.
These are just small things, and the bigger problem is the persecution of those underworld forces and bad gangs here.
