Relying on the magical equipment with its own special effects, the three Vincents did not smell the lingering stench in the air.

The hooves of the two-horned horses are constantly lifting and falling as they move, especially when passing by a small pool of sewage that gathers in one place, and the hooves of the fallen horses seem to be able to stand in the air. Less than half a centimeter above the surface of the water, he stopped stepping into the sewage, and then the horse's hooves lifted up again out of thin air, and then continued to flick the horse's tail and walk leisurely. And the tall horse's body instantly flashed with a burst of magical brilliance visible to the naked eye. It turns out that the two-horned horse was not only cast by Vincent to use charm magic to stabilize his mind, but also released an enhancement magic to transform in all directions.

Vincent looked down at him and sighed to himself, not knowing what to think of the slum scene in front of him, which was not much different from what he had imagined.

Vincent was accustomed to the absence of slums in the City of God's Blessing, and even more so to the fact that everyone there had a house to live in, a job to do, and through everyone's eyes, he could see the vision of a better life in the future and the unwavering confidence that his dreams would come true.

However, Vincent's ubiquitous sights in the Blessed City, as far as he could see so far, probably didn't have the chance to see them again in Nasta.

Less than fifty meters away, Vincent saw only patches of low shacks and three types of people wandering on the dirt roads during the day.

On the one hand, thieves who have no shelter but are too lazy to find a job to make ends meet, have a vague focus on ordinary people passing through the slums, trying to steal copper coins from them in exchange for food and inferior ale, and choose to live a decadent life where one day is a day. It's just that because the time is broad daylight, they can only sit like a worm, slumped in some barely dry corners, resting and waiting for the time to come.

On the other hand, there are orphans who have no parents at all, who often huddle together for warmth because of their sympathy, but they are very fond of bullying their peers whose parents are still alive, and derive pleasure and satisfaction from their painful moans and the satisfaction of relieving their jealousy.

Without the opportunity to learn knowledge, without the opportunity to become a professional, they have no future and no hope. Unless they are discovered and valued by a certain group of people, most of them will grow up to be one of the pathetic thieves who live in a precarious situation.

The last group of people are gang members, who are not slum dwellers, but people sent by gangs in civilian areas to maintain order.

Yes, maintaining order, because Nasta City does not have a real ruler and a city lord appointed by the Divine Blessed Empire, so the responsibility for maintaining order in the city naturally falls into the hands of those forces who actually control the entire city.

It's like the guards at the gates, they're the men of one of the forces.

The gang members who were sent to the slums were mainly members of the small gangs under the power. But they did not come to solve the evil, but to prevent the formation of small groups hiding in the shadows in the ghetto, and then to prevent them from posing a threat to the civilian area.

Rather than the previous false reasons, one of the most important factors in their assignment was to monitor the epidemic situation in the slums and report it in a timely manner depending on the severity of the situation, so as to prevent the widespread plague caused by the epidemic from threatening the inhabitants of other areas.

Vincent, who was not feeling very comfortable, turned his head to look at the two of them, Evensey was shrouded in a cloak, so he could not see her current expression, and Avela, who closed her eyes not long after entering the slums, because she did not see the slightest sign that she would do something unwise because of the overflow of compassion.

Vincent's behavior as he glanced around was naturally noticed by these people.

In fact, these types of people have been paying attention to the three Vincents as early as when they passed through the city gate.

Especially some people who are a little smart, they know very well in their hearts, and the people who can make the guards who are above the top in their eyes so respectful must be powerful professionals.

However, they also knew that unless the professional lord suddenly had compassion and took the initiative to order them to pass, if they dared to rush close to the professional adult, they would definitely die a miserable death, and it was the kind that died in vain.

So, not even a second before Vincent's glance fell on the thieves, they hurried to hide in a real dark corner, lest they be shot to death by Vincent, who they thought might want to rid the lowly vermin.

The orphans and the thieves behaved in the opposite direction. Although they did not dare to approach Vincent in any hurry, they stopped wandering, and looked at Vincent, the only one of the three who was paying attention to his surroundings, with begging and longing in their eyes, as if they hoped that Vincent would see among them a gifted person who could become his apprentice.

It's just that after their actions were seen by those gang members, the gang members glanced at each other, and they all read the banter in each other's eyes. Having seen a lot of big people, they can more or less guess the psychology of big people, and in their opinion, the probability that these garbage who do nothing all day and rely on bullying their peers to get pleasure will be looked down upon by professional adults is no less likely than the possibility that they will be favored by the elves.

But when they saw Vincent move his gaze to them, they all bent down in unison, expressing their awe of Vincent.

Seeing this, Vincent nodded imperceptibly, and then, like Avella, closed his eyes and stopped looking, riding his own two-horned horse that could find his way and dodge obstacles.

In a few moments, Vincennes and the others reached the edge of the slum, and then entered the civilian area of Nasta to the compliments of the guards guarding the side of the slum.

And the station of the elves is located in the civilian area.

As for the aristocratic quarters that are common in other cities, they do not exist in Nasta.

Because most of the nobles who did not have a fief either moved to live in the Divine Blessed City, or became vassal families of the powerful nobles who owned the fief, few nobles would choose such a remote city to settle down.

However, the real reason for the lack of an aristocratic district, according to some speculation, has something to do with the elves' disgust with the nobles who used to do everything they could to capture the elves and sell them as high-ranking slaves.

As the most powerful elves in Nasta City, they naturally have the power to issue an expulsion order against the existence they hate.

And the main reason for all this is that the city of Nasta is so deeply influenced by the elves that it does not even repair the walls that have been damaged by the erosion of time, but allows it to be covered with thorns and vines, turning into a part of nature.

After arriving in the civilian area, Vincent, as a tester, took the lead in removing the special effects that came with the equipment and gently took a breath of fresh air.

As he expected, the air smelled fresh, and there was a light scent that was purified by magic.

After confirming this, Vincent, who had already dismounted and walked, said to the two of Evensy, who were also walking, "It's okay. ”

After hearing Vincent's words, Avella quickly took a big breath of air, and then exhaled a long breath, feeling relieved and relaxed: "If you breathe through the equipment, you don't feel comfortable, oops, it's finally a lot better now." ”

After speaking, Avira walked up to Evensy's side in three or two steps, grabbed her cloak with a smile on her face, and said coquettishly: "Sister Evensy, does your cloak have the effect of silence? ”

As she spoke, Avella shook her right hand under Avella's cloak cutely, and Avancy, who heard Avella's teasing, suddenly stretched out her free left hand, gently knocked Avella's little head, and said in a doting tone: "You little trickster, can you save me some snacks." I'm on a mission right now, you know? Have you ever seen a haughty magician fight a child in public?"

[？]

Hearing this, Vincent looked at Vincent suspiciously, and his intuition told him that Venson seemed to have something to say, and the person in the word seemed to be talking about him Vincent.

After hearing this, Avella also ran to Vincent's side with a smile, looked up at Vincent and said, "Lord Vincent, Vensie is talking about you!"

"I'm ......"

As soon as Vincent's words were spoken, he was immediately interrupted by Evinsie.

"I don't dare to blame this Lord Vincennes who stood in the street with the children for the last piece of fruit crepe. But then again, when you two get carried away, can you think about my feelings, I'm your companion too?

Avinsy spoke very fast, and seemed to be talking without even gasping for breath, and he seemed to be really stimulated. So, in order not to be watched again by the pedestrians who looked at the three of them from time to time, her volume was so low that only Vincent and the others could hear it.

"I'm sorry. ”x2

Vincent and Avella could hear that Evsie was really angry, so they bowed their heads in a decisive and sincere tone. After all, no matter how you say it, Avancy is their companion, and no matter how they act, they must consider the feelings of their companions.

And after seeing that Vincent and the others were not as perfunctory as they were in the Divine Blessed City, but sincerely admitted their mistakes, Avensi continued to whisper: "Of course, if you have my consent, you can make trouble as much as you want, and I will not interfere. ”

"Oh!"

Avella, who was a little depressed after being blamed, heard this, and hugged Avensie as if she was full of blood, and cheered.

As for Vincent, he was reminded by Evensy, recalling his absurd behavior at that time, and the whole person fell into embarrassment.

After a while, however, Vincent returned to normal, and then remembered that he didn't seem to know the exact location of the elven station. So he walked into the only fruit shop on the side of the road, intending to ask the elf station how to get there, and by the way to see if there were any special and unusual fruits, and if so, buy a few and try them.

I never thought that the owner of the fruit shop was actually an elf, an elf wearing dark thin silk pajamas, exuding a lazy atmosphere all over his body, and resting with his eyes closed.

And Vincent walked over overjoyed when he saw that it was an elf, and then gently knocked on the counter in front of her, and when she slowly opened her eyes, he said in a tone full of sincerity: "Hello, I would like to ask you where the elven clan is stationed in the city. Of course, if you are willing to lead us there, I will thank you afterwards. ”

However, the elf glanced at Vincent with a blank face, and then continued to lie down on the counter with his eyes closed, so much so that Vincent could even faintly hear her small snoring.
