CHAPTER XLIV
When Chu Ge walked out of the hotel, it was already noon.
It's not the center of Midgar, but it's bustling with pedestrians, the streets are more than thirty feet wide enough for four horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side, and the shops and houses on both sides of the street are more than three stories high.
Whether it is Brewell or Westmar, in front of the rich city of Midgar, they can only be regarded as a poor and remote existence.
Not to mention the light and beauty that the eyes can see directly, even the filth and depravity hidden under the glitz are far from a level.
To put it bluntly, Midgar is a microcosm of the entire Arcaya Empire, and perhaps it would be more vivid to use the metaphor of Greenland, the royal capital, but for now it is enough.
The neighing of the horses, the noise of the crowd, all lingered like a noisy symphony in the low sky. The occasional monster that skimmed the blue sky roamed its territory like guardians, waiting for its prey to stray into it.
This bustling and beautiful city seems to occupy the central vortex of the land, exuding infinite magic that attracts all living beings to rush to this place.
Only by desperately struggling can he draw nutrients from other people's remnants and steal his life, and the former Chu Ge is also a member of the confused and tormented in this world.
Now he has two goals, one is to find the shop called "Stones and Bones" and use the extra rewards from the previous emergency rescue mission; The second is to meet the man named Mang? Add's guy, the first step in completing a succession of missions.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Ge gave up the idea of going to the stone and bone shop first, after all, he didn't know where this shop was, and if he inquired now, he didn't know how long it would take, compared to this, Eddie was a lot more familiar with this person.
In his previous life, when he met Hereris for the second time, Eddie had already worked as a financial officer to share Hererys's worries, and was quite relied on by Hererys.
There was a reason why he was so sure that the target of the continuous mission must be the one he knew in his previous life.
In his previous life, Chu Ge, who was also Hellerys' staff, had a good relationship with Eddie, and the two often chatted together, and Eddie also confided to Chu Ge about what happened before he met Hererys.
He was originally born into a family of ordinary officials in Midgarh City, and lived a relatively wealthy life, and successfully inherited his father's career as an administrative officer with his own ability after his father's death.
Because of his talent, Eddie was promoted quickly, but it was also for this reason that he was always jealous and ostracized by his colleagues around him, and he didn't bother to take the initiative to show favor and associate with metrics, resulting in a poor relationship with his colleagues.
For this reason, even though the city lord was kind to him, he had no way to give him any real power, only to let him hang the title of a senior political official, and usually correct some documents casually.
It wasn't until the First Dancer led Freya on tour of Midgar that Herelis stumbled upon Add's talent for managing finances, and she invited Add to join the Freya Orchestra in the hope that Add would be a force to save civilians.
After some conversation, Add is finally impressed by the charisma of Hallerys' personality and is willing to pledge his allegiance to her and find a way out of a happy life for the commoners.
According to the calculation of time, Add will have to wait two months before he can be recruited by Hallerys, so it is natural that his current position is self-evident, he is still a depressed senior political officer in Midgarh City.
Of course, this was just a conclusion that Chu Ge had deduced from his previous experience, and now after combining the description of the successive missions and the content on the "Sorge's Codex", he would definitely not have any opinion about Eddie's previous life!
Can a depressed political officer be connected to the healing church? Can it have something to do with the enemy of the living? Can you have a relationship with Lyman?
Is this possible?
Of course, it's not that Chu Ge denies Eddie's personality right now. With his vision, coupled with the experience of working with Eddie for two years in his previous life, he believes that the other party's personality and character are absolutely undisguised.
Then, the only thing that could go wrong is that Eddie lied when he told Chu Ge about his "past"!
Why would the other party do this?
Perhaps this successive mission will bring you the answer.
After a while, he came to the gate of the town hall, sat down in a restaurant and began to wait.
Without a special pass, the town hall does not allow civilians to enter without permission, so Chu Ge can only wait here for Eddie to appear.
As for why not use the Thorn Flower badge to go straight in? It's easy to use, but it's still a nuisance if you use it casually.
In the hearts of the people of Alcaya, it is a symbol of power; And in the eyes of some ill-intentioned guys, that is the representative of the royal gift package!
The person who owns it is definitely the core of the royal family, and there may be priceless treasures on it! And its owner is actually just a small first-order human! It's still the kind of single one, and if you start, the danger will be relatively low.
Of course, there are very few people who dare to really do this, unless they have an extreme hatred for the royal family or Chu Ge really shows any value, otherwise even if it is really exposed, it is not a particularly serious problem.
In other words, if the value is big enough, it doesn't matter if it's exposed.
To be honest, Alice Phil also considered this issue when she gave this badge to Chu Ge, but she believed that Chu Ge's strength and mind would definitely not abuse it easily.
Of course, Chu Ge was as she expected, and even more cautious than she imagined!
For example, at that time, the reason why he advised the guards to salvage the front of the locomotive was to confirm the status of the conductor with his own eyes.
Why did he just shut up and let the conductor suffocate below?
Even if he doesn't say it, the front of the locomotive will still be salvaged, but the time will be later, and he can't confirm whether the conductor is alive or dead under the swamp (after the mission is settled), if the other party is still alive after half a day of salvage, then he will have to waste effort to come back and deal with the other party.
So simply use this time-saving method to confirm the status of the conductor when everyone is being inspected, and if the other party is still alive, take some hands and feet to kill him, and that's it.
Of course, the conductor can just die like that, which naturally saves him some effort.
By the way, as Chu Ge's colleague, Eddie didn't have this thing in his previous life.
The sun is already shining in this direction.
There was a huge crystal standing at the door of the city hall, which happened to be reflected on Chu Ge's face after being illuminated by the sun, and he raised a hand to cover the full gold,
It's a dazzling sight.
