Early the next morning, several people gathered around the dining table, and Zhang Xiao enjoyed the long-lost breakfast.

Zhao Yu found a set of his own clothes for Zhang Xiao and asked him to change out of the tattered camouflage uniform.

Zhang Xiao: "There are not many martial arts halls in the city, I want to learn some basic knowledge of martial arts first." ”

Zhao Yu: "Although the empire is a paradise for the mage profession, it is not difficult to learn some ordinary martial arts knowledge. ”

"But I don't want to join the camp just yet."

The three major forces control some of the important knowledge required for advancement, especially after level 20, advanced knowledge is considered confidential, and it is difficult to learn this knowledge if you are not a member of them.

After joining the Imperial faction, the friendship of the rival Akatsuki Federation and the Nether Sect will definitely drop significantly.

Zhang Xiao plans to return to the trade union that was previously affiliated with the Akatsuki Federation after entering the world map.

Because the Great Passage is under the jurisdiction of the Federation, he also wants to return to the waters of the New World to find out what happened in the first place.

Zhao Yu: "Then you have to go to Xicheng District, which is the gray area of Twilight City." ”

He lowered his voice: "There is a distribution center for drugs, smuggling, arms and skins and meat trade, not only the Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves Guild and other unions with a bad reputation, but also some gangsters, they need a steady stream of good players to join, and naturally they must stock up on some martial arts knowledge." ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, at this time he already understood that if he wanted to learn professional knowledge without joining the camp in the empire, he would definitely have to take some abnormal paths.

The Origin Star is the base camp of the Empire, except for the Imperial Capital in the south, Twilight City is the second largest city in the Empire, controlling the resources and information systems of the entire northern part of the Origin Star.

The city's underground world is made up of the city's underworld by intelligence agencies, arms dealers, professional killers, supercriminals, and other outlaws.

There is an abandoned mansion on Lier Street, an old neighborhood in Xicheng District, with cement-colored hollow bricks exposed on the broken walls.

Two thick willows stand at the door, revealing the half-hidden outline of the old house, which feels ghostly at a glance.

Because it is already on the edge of the city, there is no development value, and a large number of abandoned houses have appeared over the years, and few people usually approach it.

On this day, a man dressed in a pitch-black cloak walked into the mansion and fumbled for a moment in front of the handrail of a gargoyle staircase.

Suddenly, the ground began to collapse, and a stone staircase appeared that led to the ground.

He walked slowly down the stairs, the ground behind him slowly rising, and it wasn't long before a blood-red door appeared.

A huge skull was carved above the gate, and below it was a woman who had slashed her wrists with a knife, blood dripping into the mouths of several people below her, all with sickly smirks on their faces.

The cloaked man stretched out a scaly green claw with black nails as sharp as a blade, and he took out a dagger and slashed it in the palm of his hand.

Then he pressed his blood-soaked palm against the skull, and the blood-colored door glowed red and slowly rose.

He stepped inside, lifted his cloak, revealing a face covered in green scales, a large mouth grinning to the base of his ears, and a pair of snake eyes flashing.

He walked through a hall with a burning fire, and in front of it sat a man in a black cloak.

In the next few corners, a similarly dressed figure sat silently, no one spoke between them, and the large room was as dead as a grave.

He stopped in a triangular hall and looked at a black coffin in the center.

The coffin was covered with blood-red silk, and inside lay a man in evening dress, the dim candlelight like the tongue of a demon, constantly beating on his pale face.

"Elder William, are you looking for me?"

The person in the coffin opened his blood-red eyes when he heard this: "This time, the target is a Terran who has just entered Twilight City, and the action must be fast, and the employer is in a hurry." ”

"Yes!" He picked up Zhang Xiao's photo and looked at it carefully, put it on a candle and lit it.

"Recently someone has spotted the presence of nobles in the city"

William: "Huh? ”

"I went to look at it that night, and the nobleman they were referring to seemed to be the young lady from Valhaburg."

William's expression was cloudy: "Do your own thing!" ”

"Yes!"

In the corner of a square in Xicheng District, there stood an inconspicuous man, wearing a peaked cap, with his hands in his pockets, walking around with a cigarette in his mouth.

According to the information provided by Zhao Yu, Zhang Xiao knew that the other party's name was Han Yi, a member of a gang called the Cheetah Gang, who was selling some contraband near the square.

He walked over: "Are you from the Cheetah Gang?" ”

Han Yi usually wanders here, and few people know about his existence except for the introduction of regular customers, and when he sees that the other party is a fresh face: "No, you recognize the wrong person." ”

Zhang Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "I want to join the club, you can introduce me." ”

Han Yi was a little annoyed: "Who are you?" ”

Because of Twilight City's gun control, Zhang Xiao did not blatantly take it out, but put it in his pocket and put it on the other party's stomach.

Han Yi noticed it, looked down and understood: "Big brother, there is something to discuss, don't be angry." ”

Zhang Xiao put the gun away: "Lead the way!" ”

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly and led him to the alley behind him.

The two got into a black van, and Han Yi handed him a black hood with only one air outlet on the hood.

Zhang Xiao: "What do you mean?" ”

"Brother, you're visiting Twilight City for the first time, right?"

"Yes"

"It's no wonder, our Cheetah Gang is the third largest gang in the city, and naturally there are some rules."

Zhang Xiao lowered his face coldly and slammed his head against the car window with a gun.

"Lao Tzu thinks that guns are rules, if you do these useless things again, I will shoot you with one shot."

"Don't, don't, I'm doing this for your good."

"Stop talking nonsense with me and drive your car well!"

"Okay, big brother, you put the gun down first."

Seeing Zhang Xiao put down the gun, Han Yi hurriedly lit the fire, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the alley.
