Chapter 129: The Slum (Part I)

"Well, I'll come when I go...... I said that, but it's beyond my imagination......"

The slums of Solancia City, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a place in the same city as the one you live in.

When facing the slums, the first intuitive impression that pops up in my head is the words "dirty", "messy" and "poor", which are obviously only separated by a line from the main city full of vitality, but this slum is simply releasing a decadent and dilapidated atmosphere all the time, this invisible breath prevents all outsiders from approaching, this is the darkest projection of a city, and it is a corner abandoned by the whole city or the entire world.

“…… It's an uncomfortable place, but if you want information, it's the fastest and most convenient place, right? ”

The Dark Truth Society originated in the slums, and as a second-tier large city under the Pan-Human Alliance, the slums of Solancia City obviously had a high probability of being visited by members of the Dark Truth Society, and it was in this spirit that Rare planned to try his luck here, although he didn't think that such a purposeless act could gain much useful information, but in the current situation, this is the quickest and most likely place to get information.

It was definitely an impossible option to just wear a mage robe and shake it in, and Riel wasn't crazy enough to think that a mage standing at the top of the pyramid of the Pan-Human Alliance would run into the slums at the bottom of the world's realm, anyway, Riel had a way to solve this problem.

I found a place where no one was around, anyway, there was a vacuum near the slum, and normal people would definitely not run to this place, and it was impossible for people in the slum to run out. It's all too easy to find a corner where no one is looking, and after making sure that no one is around, Riel raises his hand and gently brushes it on his face.

With a hazy light and shadow covering his whole body, his figure immediately shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the flickering light and shadow faded, a little boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old appeared. His hair was unkempt like a bird's nest, his eye sockets were deep, he looked like he hadn't had enough to eat in eight lifetimes, he was dressed only in a rag coat full of patches, and his exposed skin was covered with dust and soot.

Riel casually pinched out a water balloon to reflect his current appearance, and the effect also made him very satisfied, and now his appearance is basically the kind of person who appears most often in the slums, because considering that adults do not lack arms and legs, it is rare to appear in the slums, and this kind of teenage child is not easy to arouse suspicion.

After figuring out the camouflage problem. Arrail also walked into the slums generously.

Before, I just glanced at it from afar, and I could feel the dirt of this place, but now that I really walked into it, this feeling immediately showed a tenfold magnification impact, and a terrible smell that I didn't know how to describe it was the first to bear the brunt, and it hit the unprepared Riel.

Before Riel crossed over, he was used to living in a big city, and after crossing over, he was pampered as a magician, when had he ever seen this kind of battle? Present. His face also changed, and he hurriedly added two strokes to the enchantment beside him. Shut out the smell that looked like a dozen kinds of rotten things were mixed together.

(Then, although I said I was in, who am I going to ask for information?) )

Just when Riel had a headache, he suddenly heard a violent voice sound from behind him.

"Little bastard over there, how come I've never seen you, uncle? When did you come? ”

The magic power of the magician all over his body could easily capture the wind and grass within a radius of 100 meters, and of course, he had already sensed that there were about four or five people approaching behind him. However, Riel didn't pay much attention to them, and at this moment, he heard one of the leaders suddenly shouting in his direction, and in order to prevent revealing flaws, he quickly pretended to be surprised and turned around.

Of course, the look of surprise was disguised, and Heng Zhu Ruiel had already seen the other party's face when he hung behind him with bad intentions. It was a tall adult man with two hideous scars on his face, most of the people in the slums looked like refugees who fell in the wind, but the man in front of him and the people who followed him were sturdy and sturdy, and they didn't fit in with the surrounding atmosphere at first glance.

(Well, the slums are full of people who can't get along in the normal city, not some sensitive people, like the descendants of smuggled slaves, or the poor worms whose families are dead and terminally ill, and who have no way out, but in addition to these people, I have heard that some unsightly bugs will also appear in the slums.) )

Ryel's "unsightly bugs" refers to some wanted criminals who have committed crimes in the Pan-Human Alliance, but the cases on these wanted criminals are not small, but they are not so big that they have to be caught, under this premise, if you don't want to be caught and executed, there is a way to escape the punishment of the law.

That is, from now on, give up the right to be a "person" and hide in the slums, at the cost of not leaving the slum for the rest of their lives, in exchange for a long life, under this premise, as long as these people do not commit crimes that are so big that they must be caught, the law enforcement agencies under the general pan-human alliance will turn a blind eye to let them live.

It is not hard to imagine what these people who have lost their rights as a human being, who have been forced into a slum where there is never a future and no hope in sight, who spend their days in the company of a group of people who have not seen the light, and who do not even bother to take care of the law.

(Obviously they have already fallen to this step, and they have to be powerful in a group of poor people, hehe, no wonder when Irene and I mentioned these people, their expressions were so impatient, indeed a group of garbage who voluntarily gave up being people~)

That said, but the expression on his face was one of confusion, although Riel thought that if he wanted to get rid of the entanglement, it would be over as soon as the fireball passed, but if he did, he did it. Isn't there no point in camouflage? So, acting in a full set, anyway, Riel is very sure that these people can't do anything to him, so it's better to see how they will toss.

Fear, helplessness, and overwhelm, combined with that thin body, it is easy to make these people who take pleasure in oppressing the poor feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Anyway, even everything has been lost, in this hellish place, at least you can still see the awe-inspiring eyes of others, this is almost the only meaning of this group of insects alive, and at the moment, the group of men also burst into laughter.

"Ha Luha, boss, you see that little bastard is so scared that he can't even speak, say. This kid can't be a mute, right? ”

"I can't say it, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer come in here, but I didn't expect to be able to see one if I walked around casually today."

After the group said a few words to themselves, the scar-faced man in the lead took two steps forward, and several men around him surrounded him with understanding, surrounding Rare.

"Listen up, little bastard. This is Uncle Ben's territory, if you want to make a living here. You have to be honest and obedient, and do what you are told to do, understand? ”

The boy who seemed to have really been frightened nodded silently, the frightened look in his eyes became a few points stronger, and seeing the boy so cooperative, a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the scar-faced man.

"Good. Since you're so knowledgeable, come, you guys give him a little greeting gift! ”

As soon as the words fell, several men who seemed to have been prepared immediately surrounded them, and one of them unceremoniously raised his leg and kicked Riel in the lower abdomen.

In ancient prisons, it was known as a killing stick. Regardless of whether you make mistakes or not, this is to sharpen your sharpness and enhance the majesty of the ruler, and this vote of worms obviously intends to do so.

Seeing a kick coming, Riel was also very cooperative and fell to the ground, anyway, he has an invisible enchantment around him, with his current ability, this layer of enchantment is hard to resist two-star magic is not a, even if it is a magic swordsman who has changed his class, he can't easily break it without taking an enchanted weapon, a few but a little stronger than ordinary people, how can a gangster break the enchantment and hurt Riel? For Rare, these people's fists and kicks are probably not as powerful as a mosquito bite.

Ryel, who was going to use a little trick to get out of trouble on the way to be beaten, suddenly felt a little strange, and at the moment, he was also very cooperative and pretended to be in pain, lying on the ground with his head in his hands, but before the fists raised by the men could fall, several screams were heard in a row.

"It's you bastards bullying again, this time, I must teach you a good lesson!"

In Riel's magic sense, two teenagers who also looked childish appeared by his side to protect him at some point, and the two screams just now were issued by the two men who were going to swing their fists at Riel, at this moment, the wrists of the two of them showed a strange angle, if Riel's common sense was not wrong, the wrists of normal humans were bent to this angle, then generally speaking, it would definitely be useless.

The people who took the action to abolish these two men were the two ordinary-looking teenagers, and the two teenagers and the scar-faced man seemed to know each other.

"Sean, Wren? It's the two of you? ”

At this moment, the scar-faced man was also full of surprise, he was no stranger to the two teenagers in front of him, the two of them were originally a pair of brothers who lived in this slum, and they had been bullied by the scar-faced man on weekdays, but just a few days ago, the two brothers suddenly disappeared from the slum, and no one knew where they went.

But it's not a big deal in the slums, where people are dying all the time, and it's normal for people to die once in a while and go unnoticed, so everyone else thinks that the two hard-working brothers have died unexpectedly.

But now the two brothers have returned, and both seem to have gained some strength beyond the imagination of the people in the ghetto...... (To be continued......)
