Chapter 401: Apostate Family
"It's just a group of mobs, how can three law enforcement teams not be able to suppress it?" Yu Tang paused, raised his eyes and glanced at her with an inexplicable look. "But the man hasn't said anything about Jussi-sama, so if you're interested, you can go to the fifth booth around the corner and ask. As long as the price is right, the man can also get you a face towel for Lord Yussi to wash his face in the morning. ”
Qiu Xuan: "...... There's no need for that. ”
So she simply talked to Yu Tang next to the stall, while looking at Alec Mountain and the redhead who were talking about the transaction from afar.
She suddenly thought of something, and asked seemingly casually: "By the way, do you know Jussi's full name, or the family name behind it." ”
"Jussi-sama doesn't have a family." Now is the rest time of the underground black market, so basically no guests will come to the second floor, Yu Tang also happened to have nothing to do, so he simply said: "This is not a secret in Zhuoer City, Lord Yussi is not very good, he crawled out of the slum at the beginning." ”
More than ten years ago, when there were still some last remnants of food, at least a considerable number of civilians could still eat with a little frugality. For the other part of the real "hungry people" who have no savings at all, the only place they can survive is the so-called "slums" with dirty and messy conditions carved out in a few corners of the city.
These places were created by a well-meaning lord at that time, and people would be sent over every day to distribute a bucket of thick rice porridge. Although this stuff is also not enough to fill the stomach, and there are only two large buckets a day, especially for those in the slums who are relatively weak and cannot grab food with their fists, they can only go hungry.
Later, the disaster became more and more serious, and only some lords could still grow food with special cultivation methods in their homes. The surplus in the city was gone, and the good-hearted lord, who would give to the hungry every day, died in an accident.
The hungry people, who had barely survived on the "slums", had no choice but to do so, so they launched a few young and able-bodied youths that night, thinking of taking the risk of stealing food from the local lord's warehouse.
In this kind of world, stealing food is almost the highest crime, you kill people in the street and no one cares about you, but if you steal food in the street, there is a high probability that you will die if you are caught.
But they really had no choice at that time, if they didn't steal, they would starve to death, and if they stole it, they would be killed, and it would be more fatal to gamble if they were caught.
The only choice they made wrong was probably to put their mind on Beelzebub.
In fact, when the desperate hungry people entered Beelzebub's house in the night, no one realized that it was the territory of the rumored owner of the beam.
It was so easy, the mansion that looked very low-key and inconspicuous didn't even have a team of knights around to patrol the security. The whole building looked like a dead house, and if it weren't for the sporadic lights leaking out of the third-floor windows, they might not have known that there were still people living here.
Compared to the other bodyguards who were everywhere in the big and small lords, they were certainly more willing to steal this family's food.
What happened after that was not known to anyone, but after the starving people entered Beelzebub's house, they were not seen coming out for the next twenty years.
Except for one person.
At that time, the yellow-skinned young man did not even have a decent name, and the name for him was probably just a very perfunctory name like a ball, and when he came out of the strangely cold-looking mansion, he had his own name.
Jussi.
It only took him five years to go from being recruited into the knight team of the city law enforcement team to climbing the only Class A beam all the way to the chief knight.
During this period, except for the same knights who trained with him, no one saw the true face of this Jussi. That's why it's often rumored that the chief knight's face has been disfigured during a mission, even to the point where he can have nightmares at a glance, which is why he always wears that silver armor helmet.
The rumors are true or false, but once they are spread by more people, they will naturally take on a bit of "convincing" meaning.
"It's a pity," said the beautiful stall owner with a regretful sigh on his face, although there was such a look on his face, but his tone did not change in the slightest. "As long as Jussi doesn't do it, he will be the dream of hundreds of millions of girls in Drow City, after all, who doesn't like knights with generous subsidies? But as soon as you make a move, plus more or less those rumors about disfigurement, you are naturally daunted. ”
"Why? Is it scary for him to move his hands? ”
"Next time, you can find a chance to see Jussi-sama on a mission." Yu Tang beckoned to Qiu Xuan like a gossip, "Why do you think he is called the 'Silver Grim Reaper in Blood' on the battlefield?" ”
It's here again.
Qiu Xuan quietly left this speechless title behind, she didn't know if it was silver or silver death, but she knew that Nayussi was fighting like a crocodile.
So, he was adopted by Beelzebub in the first place? Or the people who are promoted? He had no surname, only one named 'Jussi'. ”
"That's about it." Yu Tang said a bunch of words at one time, and it was still a free message, and he looked a little tired at this time. "By the way, I still have wine, do you want it?"
Qiu Xuan glanced back at the seemingly messy wine bottles in her stall, and she didn't know if she was wrong or real, and there seemed to be an eyeball-shaped object faintly visible on the inner wall of one of the bottles, which was somewhat yellowed.
Given that this is an underground black market, she will give some face not to guess that it is a sugar pill.
"No, I've drunk it before."
"Cut."
Yu Tang let out a sneer from his mouth, if he said it, it probably meant something like "I knew you poor ghost couldn't afford it". But she didn't say anything, just opened one of the bottles of wine casually and took a few sips, and then touched a dirty water pipe from the ground next to her in front of Qiu Xuan and filled the bottle again.
Swinging, it's another bottle of "new wine".
Qiu Xuan: "......"
"Look at what I'm doing, who will really sell you new wine in this world?" Yu Tang glanced at her, "If you can buy wine that has only been smoked for two rounds, you can steal the fun, do you know that some people can become a bottle of wine after drinking half a bottle of wine?" You little rookie. ”
To this day, she finally understood why the wine she had bought that day at the dock overseer had a strange smell that could not be described.
Qiu Xuan's face distorted for a moment, and then he deceived himself and pressed it, closing his eyes as if he never knew about it.
This kind of thing can't be thought about deeply, and if you think about it, there will be problems.
She really pinched a cold sweat for those executioners who were heavily clean, after all, now that they were mixed up to their level, everyone had some quirks in them to a greater or lesser extent. If it were really a person who loved cleanliness and was teleported to this proving ground, I am afraid that the trial would end on the spot.
After another half of the day, the redhead's business with Alec Hill was finally over. Both of them looked relieved and relaxed, and even Alecshan's face, which had been a little weak since he appeared, was a little ruddy, and it was thought that both sides had reached a satisfactory ending.
The redhead beckoned to her, so Qiu Xuan got up and said goodbye to Yu Tang.
The beautiful woman sat behind the stall, only lifting her eyelids in slow motion and taking one last look at her. "You're in the same league with the two over there? Then you should know the surname Alecshan...... Is it an 'apostate'? ”
Qiu Xuan paused as she turned around, and the blonde merchant she was looking at with a smile was still the same as before.
"It's the rumored ...... Is that the family that is the great lord who owns one side does not have a clear relationship with any power, but even robs the food sources of other lords to help the hungry? ”
Yu Tang looked a little solemn, "Yes, their family's surname is Alecshan...... I don't think you're a completely underground person, so presumably your main source of work is still on the ground, right? I kindly advise you not to let your earthly 'friends' see you associating with any of Mount Alex. ”
"I see, thanks."
The woman snorted, waved her hand and sat back, pulling a curtain to start her lunch break.
"Afu, see you again!"
Qiu Xuan walked up to the red-haired side, and saw that the corners of the blonde-haired Alecshan's mouth curled a little more.
Now she had a little bit of a sense of why Alecshan, a suburb of Drow at that time, told her those "absurd remarks" about breaking the scales. If he really came out of that family, then it makes sense that he wants to end the disaster more than anyone else. After all, the people of that family sound like a line between neutral goodness and chaotic goodness.
It's just that if this is the case, then Qiu Xuan's previous suspicion that Jussi and Alecshan are the same person's idea will most likely not be realized.
The city law enforcement team, including Jussi himself, is the force behind them is Beelzebub.
And Beelzebub, as the direct beneficiary of all the beams, the highest status "central government" in the eyes of the big and small lords, will not allow such an Alecshan family to exist...... bar.
Otherwise, Alex would not have been called "apostates."
They are already standing on the opposite side of the power on the ground, even if Beelzebub needs to have such a rebellious family to kill the sharp qi of those big and small lords, the biggest bottom line they can endure is not to eradicate that family. It's impossible to send his own people over to be "Proton", especially since that Proton is still the chief knight of the law enforcement team.
The price is too great for someone like Beelzebub to do such a loss-making business.
So who is under Jussi's armor?
"Afu, since I separated from you that day, I have many new ideas when I go back!" Alecshan was obviously a little excited, probably really regarded Qiu Xuan as the only "friend" in the world today who would not talk about his own ideological problems. "Are you busy in the afternoon? We can find a place to talk, I thought about it, there were still a few holes in my original idea, but now as long as I ......"
He suddenly started chattering there again, and the redhead next to him glanced at her in a slightly surprised way, meaning when did he have such a good relationship with this black businessman?
Qiu Xuan didn't know where to answer her, so she could only explain: "The last time I met him, we were discussing blowing up the beam." ”
The redhead looked at her and looked at her completely wrong.
In the end, she still didn't have a chance to give another one-sided self-moving world-saving speech with Alex, because just as a few people walked down the stairs to the surface, the disc on the redhead and Qiu Xuan's body lit up again.
So the blonde merchant sent them away with an obvious pity on his face. Alecshan stood in place, the hunchbacked woman at the entrance, who was responsible for collecting blood at the door, buried her head lower, apparently with some fear.
Fortunately, the hind foot man left the place, and at the door of the archway, the hunchbacked woman finally lifted her head a little more buried in her belly. She shuddered involuntarily, and then returned to her usual wooden appearance of numbing the walking dead.
……
After that, Qiu Xuan spent a somewhat repetitive and boring time.
Since the end of that banquet, so much expensive food and wine have been wasted in one consumption, even Jima, who has a rich family, can no longer withstand the usual extravagant days of serving more than a dozen dishes for breakfast alone.
He still eats three meals a day as usual, and when he is bored, he invites members of the circus to tell jokes and perform. At this time, even if Qiu Xuan's jokes were rotten and smelly, Jima couldn't kick her out except to lie on the bed and stare at her, after all, she was now covered by Penny, and Beelzebub's attitude over there was still unclear, and no one here dared to act rashly.
In addition to the daily routine, Qiu Hyun began her bat behavior of forming alliances everywhere.
Even for Jima, she specially chose a day when Penny and a few maids sent by other lords left for a while, and talked to the "puppet emperor".
It's probably something like "I'm on your side" or "Don't you want to pull out all those obnoxious eyes" or something like that. Although this Jima doesn't look very smart, she has brains in the end, and she doesn't believe that there is really a free lunch in this world, but she is still a little shaken by her daily hints of loyalty.
During this period, staying in the Jima Mansion, several subordinates sent by other forces also ran to her, and their words were meant to woo her. Although most of these people would come to Qiu Xuan with disdain, because she looked like an extremely ordinary "circus", if it weren't for Beelzebub's unclear attitude, they wouldn't have found her at all.
Qiu Xuan: "Okay, good. ”
