Chapter 1843: Meeting
The consciousness of the Great Taidao entered the illusion with me?
Frowning slightly, I thought for a while, and said to myself: "Could it be that it is because of the relationship between the consciousness of the great sword that Di Ruiji is under pressure, so he will show a nervous expression?" β
"It may have something to do with me," Datai Dao said, "After all, I am the Leopold Blade, a weapon more powerful than the artifact of this world!" β
Listening to him boast about himself, I immediately sneered and said disdainfully: "If you don't blow it, you will die?" β
Da Taidao was choked by me, and when he said it, he counterattacked, and it was a big string, and I didn't have the slightest chance to refute it.
Frowning, ignoring the chatter of the Great Taidao, I remembered the scene as I walked towards the end.
At the end of the sewer, there is a blockade of iron fences, because of disrepair, several places of iron bars are rusted, two fingers pinch the iron bar, without force, break one down.
Breaking the corroded iron bar into several sections, throwing it away from afar, and bending down to look at the broken place, it was very good, very natural, and there was no trace of artificial damage.
After doing all this, we were able to get through the gap in the fence with peace of mind.
At the end, you will reach the largest garbage dump in Ari City.
Nearly two-thirds of the town's garbage is piled up here, and from a distance, it looks like a high wall that covers the sky and the sun, and its height even exceeds the walls of Ari.
This pile of garbage has been hoarded here for half a year, and the bottom layer has begun to drip out water of various colors, and it still exudes a strange smell.
If you want to cross this mountain of garbage, you have to wade through this strange-smelling water.
Looking at the stinky water two meters away, my eyes twitched and I flinched a little.
"Or take a detour," suggested the Great Sword, "and I don't want to get this strange-smelling water." β
Looking into the distance, I shook my head and said, "It's too far to take a detour, and it's easy to be spotted." β
Frowning and gritting my teeth, my heart was crossed, and I said, "Go over!" β
With that, he lifted his feet and stepped into the stinking water.
Da Taidao was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "You are really a warrior!" β
"Warriors can't say," I endured the strange smell and walked step by step towards the garbage mountain: "It's just an extraordinary time to do extraordinary things." β
Climbing over the high garbage heap, my shoes and trouser legs smelled strange.
Da Taidao sighed: "I told you to take a detour, you don't want to, now it's okay, the whole person has become sour and smelly, see how you go to meet those important people later." β
I snorted lightly and said disapprovingly, "There's always a way." β
The slums are separated from the garbage mountain, and every day when the wind blows, a strange smell blows into the houses and surrounds the slums.
Some people who can't stand it will try their best to block the doors and windows to try not to let the strange smell invade. But this is not a good solution, because people also need to breathe oxygen, and if you forcibly close the vents, it is easy to suffocate the people in the house.
This is not appalling, almost every summer, there is a tragedy of suffocating people in the slums.
However, the higher-ups of Eri City turned a blind eye to this.
Not only that, but many aristocrats also took pleasure in it, and even gambled on the tragedy, guessing how many poor people would suffocate this year.
This is not the most excessive place, those nobles, in order to continue to maintain this fun, also ordered that the poor should not be allowed to clean up the garbage without permission, and those who violated the order were to be put to death.
The poor knew that they could not fight the nobles, so they could only endure the bad smell and continue to maintain a poor life with no meals.
This is the slum life of Ari City, filled with a lingering sour smell that is exactly the same as the one I had at this point.
Because of this, this smell is not only not a burden for me, but also a means of concealing my identity.
Add to that my cheap coat and unkempt gray hair, and I look like a slum dweller.
It's just that this pair of beautifully crafted gauntlets and the big knife on his back are a little eye-catching.
As for the handguards, I can also say that the fakes I bought at the roadside stalls to improve the quality of the gauntlets, which look tall and tall, but are actually tin foil products.
If you have a big knife, it's a little troublesome.
After thinking about it, I finally came up with an excuse that I could barely fool the past - what I was carrying behind me was not a knife, but a wooden stick that looked more like a knife.
As soon as I thought of this, the weight on my back suddenly increased a lot, and I frowned and asked, "Why do you want to increase the weight?" β
"You look like a stick!" The big sword said.
"You can take care of it if you take care of it," I explained, "and when this is over, I'll buy you the best knife polish to coat it, don't you think?" β
Only then did the big knife regain its original weight.
According to the message given to me by Boss Rennes, I made my way to an abandoned residential area.
Decades ago, there were residents in this residential area, but a plague killed all the inhabitants of this community.
As I said earlier, the plague is not a serious disease in this world, and it can be cured in a few days as long as it is treated by a qualified doctor and the care of a priest who has a full-time purification.
The problem is that it takes money to get a doctor and a priest, and this neighborhood is a corner of the slum, and the residents here are also too poor to pay for treatment, so they have to rely on their own immunity to survive or die.
Many people died, and the neighborhood was deserted.
Although the people of the Zephyr Continent are not interested in the legend of ghosts, the place where so many people have died will still be regarded as an unlucky place, and naturally no one wants to live here, and over time, it will become a deserted place.
Stepping past the collapsed walls, I quickly found the meeting placeβthe last remaining house with intact walls, and Boss Wren was looking at me with his hands in his arms and leaning against the door frame.
I waved at him, and he turned to his side and flashed into the room.
The room was already full of people, and if you roughly counted them, there were no less than twenty.
Boss Wren briefly introduced my identity to everyone present, and after a few greetings, I went straight to the point.
He took out the orc king's oracle from his bosom and handed it to Boss Wren, showing it to everyone through Boss Wren's hand.
After a long shouting, the crowd affirmed my purpose and solemnly handed me the oracle.
Taking the oracle and putting it in my arms, I frowned and asked, "Are you the only descendants of the legendary heroes left in Eri City today?" β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone below flashed, and at the same time, they cast suspicious and dissatisfied glances at me.
I suddenly felt that I had made a mistake, and quickly changed my words, saying: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised, I didn't expect the Carter family's suppression to be so brutal, and it actually suppressed the original huge number of descendants of legendary heroes to less than thirty people, and they didn't want to think about it, how could it be possible to save the entire Arrow City by relying on Carter Adams alone, if it weren't for the sacrifice of your ancestors, I'm afraid that Arrow City would have ceased to exist a long time ago." β
