Chapter 41: North: Slums
He continued: "Come, let me re-talk about the rules of gambling, let's bet on how many treasures the two newcomers can bring back when they go back to the guild for the first time, and say okay, it must be the first time they go to Sister Wrist to exchange money, each of them will write an amount, who guesses the closest, who wins, understand?"
"Okay, okay, don't ink, old rules, come on, you write quickly, and give a few to my brother when I'm done." Another brown adventurer with a sword on his back said with his eyebrows fluttering, and it could be seen that this brother was also a regular customer of the song house.
These 10 male adventurers all had evil intentions on their faces, and it could be seen that no matter who wins, they will definitely go back to the 'Song Building' to have a good time.
Turning around, continue to talk about the ninety-nine side.
Ninety-nine went out of the guild hall, found a place where no one was, and secretly stuffed the staff and large cloth bag that Gennai was holding into his clothes.
"Holy! It really fits! ”
Ninety-nine is proud of the storage function of the magic clothes he made here, but Genna on the other side is horrified by the owner's behavior.
From Genna's perspective:
The owner carried himself on his back, picked up the cloth bag, buji, and stuffed it in. Surprise!
Then the master picked up a staff that was taller than 'her', stabbed it directly into his chest, buji~, and stuffed it again. Yes?!
Immediately after that, I picked up the second one, and bujing~ stuffed it again. Hey!?!
Then the owner looked back with a relaxed face and a smile, his body was still so thin, and his clothes had not changed, and he had no idea where the master had put his things! Uh-huh?!?
Frightened and trembling, Genna asked the smiling owner what he had done and how he had done it.
After Ninety-Nine Moe's explanation, Gennai understands that the master's clothes have a special magic that 'can stuff many, many things'. After all, Ninety-Nine doesn't know what kind of situation he belongs to, and Gennai doesn't know about human magic at all, so it's easy to fool around~
Then, Gennai nibbled on the Bingbing Fruit that he took out of the 'master's body' and followed Ninety-Nine down the alley. Ninety-nine was also eating, and at the same time found that the fruit had not deteriorated, just like freshly picked, cool, crisp, and fragrant with pine nuts. "Quality?! GET" Ninety-Nine smiled slightly, feeling more and more satisfied with his stored magic.
Ninety-nine didn't go to the gate at this moment, but took Gennai to the north of Coswall City. And secretly put on the road
"Master? Where are we going?" Gennai followed behind Ninety-Nine and looked at the streets around him that were constantly becoming dilapidated.
"To the North." Ninety-nine walked in front with a heavy face.
"Huh? Why?" Genna asked, but Ninety-Nine didn't answer again.
To the north of Coswall is the Poor Area, which occupies almost a quarter of the city.
Everything here is very dilapidated, and the old blackened wooden houses are stacked together like broken blocks by bear children, forming mountains of garbage.
Even on a sunny morning, covered in snow, the atmosphere and colors are still oppressive and cloudy. The black light filled the slums, and the snow on the road was like sludge, and everything here was very uncomfortable.
Between the wooden houses with irregular cutting were frozen clothes, which were even more tattered, not only the color of the faded and the threads opened, and most of the clothes were not even repaired.
In the corners of some houses, there are many small box structures made of broken cardboard and wooden boards, like dog kennels. Inside, lying or sitting, there are some people who are unkempt, have sunken eyes, and have heavy dark circles. Their cotton clothes seem to have been pulled out of a dung pit, and both the color and the flies flying around them are unacceptable.
This is true for the majority of people in the slums as a whole, even if they live in houses.
Through the broken glass, Ninety-Nine saw and heard that many women in the 'room box' had done 'he would never forgive' in order to survive.
Ninety-nine's eyes twitched with a killing light, but he didn't make a move. He couldn't tell if his murderous anger was because of the women, or the men, or because of his past, or because of his excited body now, or because of his self-loathing or same-sex rejection, but he endured it.
Along the way, Ninety-Nine took Gennai to see a lot of people who looked at them with anticipation, hatred, compromise, and pleading. Some of these people are children with sores on their faces, some are men who can't afford clothes and hide in haystacks, some are unkempt women in broken houses through windows, and some are old people who don't even have shelter from the wind and snow on the side of the road.
The entire slum is either an ancient race or a red devil, and there is a big difference between the two races, but in this place, these people have one thing in common, and that is their despair. Whether it's the eyes, or the expression, or the way you lean somewhere.
Ninety-nine continued to walk forward with Gennai in silence according to the marks on the magic map.
At this time, suddenly at the small corner of the cross in a small alley, four men of the Red Devil Clan with yellow faces and thin muscles suddenly rushed out, kneeling in front of Ninety-Nine.
"Ah, this eldest lady, please do well and give me some money."
"Yes, forehead ......" One knelt on the ground with a face that was about to die, stretched out his other hand and said to Ninety-Nine in pain, "This eldest lady, please, how many of us...... If you don't eat something, really, really, no."
"Miss, please."
They seem to think that Ninety-Nine is the child of a rich family, and at the same time, their lamentation has attracted others.
Ninety-nine stared at the four, they were wearing brown and black dirty cotton clothes and cotton pants with patches, and their faces were indeed very bad, but the red hair made Ninety-Nine couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Master......" Gennai's tone was full of pity, and the smart blue eyes were full of concern and indecision.
Ninety-nine could hear it, and those people could hear it, and then the four Red Devils and those who came later in the poor immediately gathered around Gennai, stretched out their hands, like a demon's invitation, and stretched out their hands to Gennai one by one, who didn't know whose it was.
"This lady, give me some money, or something to eat."
"Give me some too!"
Some people really want to eat, but some people take the opportunity to eat Gennai tofu, Gennai's clothes are not particularly normal, and the thighs and waist are exposed in the winter (the snow season monster, not afraid of the cold), which makes those people even more evil.
"What are you doing! Don't touch me!" Genna said angrily as her body continued to retreat.
When Gennai was panicking, an invisible ghost claw suddenly flung out from behind Ninety-Nine, and rushed out in an arc-shaped trajectory around it, knocking out all the gangsters.
