Chapter 409: The Scales Don't Tilt

It seems that the weather has cooled down, or I don't know what other reason is, this time the crowd around this C-level beam is not as crowded as Qiu Xuan's first time participating in the Gluttony Competition.

There were not many people, but the eyes of the crowd were strange.

It is similar to a kind of greed and hunger, but because he is afraid of something, he does not dare to step forward, but at the same time, he is not willing to leave, so he can only wander in place, staring with straight eyes.

"This winter has been particularly difficult."

Suddenly, a female voice came from Qiu Xuan's side. She looked back at the owner of the voice, and just wanted to turn around as if nothing had happened, but she heard the man snort and said, "Don't hide, I saw you." ”

"Ah, that's you!" Qiu Xuan had no choice but to smirk, "People are in the way, I didn't even see you, good morning, have you eaten?" ”

Lottie, a brown-haired girl from Alecshan's family, seemed to roll her eyes silently, but in the end, she also exposed this too false politeness, and just said: "Don't worry, I'm here alone today, and no one else in the family came...... Now that I know I'm hiding, why didn't you think of hiding when you were teasing my uncle some time ago? ”

As she spoke, Lottie snorted again, and without waiting for Qiu Xuan to answer, she took it herself.

"But forget it, there's no point in worrying about you now, since you don't want to give us the umbrella, the Alex family can't force you. It's just that I still have to remind you that the 'defective products' are very evil, and our family has studied for many years without any experience, let alone you. Be careful yourself, don't get sucked up and you'll be left with only one skin left there. ”

"Okay, thanks."

For the entire Alec Mountain family, Qiu Xuan actually doesn't like or dislike much, maybe for the hungry people in the slums of Drow City, the porridge bucket that is transported from this family every day is like a gift from the gods. Lords of the same rank regarded them as false philanthropists of the apostates, and to the other merchants on the run, the Alecs were no different from the cunning and sinister black merchants.

Human nature is inherently complex and multifaceted, let alone a big family that has been passed down for a long time.

Qiu Xuan could see that this girl really had no ill will towards her, and she was not as urbanistic and complex as other Alex Mountains, but it was a pity that she was not a person who walked on the same road after all.

She handed the ticket to the knight guarding the passage, confirmed her identity, and sat down at the long table.

This was probably the last decent meal Qiu Xuan could eat before winter.

When the home stadium rattles the bell to announce the start, a plate full of meat is served. Not only the contestants who sat at the long table had not eaten anything good for a long time, but also the fanatical desire in the eyes of the gathered audience almost burned a hole in the plate through the long table.

"Actually, I don't understand why there are so many spectators at every binge eating contest." Because of the order in which she got the ticket, Lottie sat on Qiu Xuan's left hand. The brown-haired girl didn't look at all like the hungry contestants who rushed to their mouths as soon as they got their food, but kept eating in a normal posture.

"Isn't it cruel for them to watch this scene?" Lottie raised her hand and lowered her eyes for a moment to look at the hungry people in the audience. "If it were me, I wouldn't have come to see someone eat and abuse myself even if I knew it didn't belong to me."

"Really? But if it were me, I would have come and see if I hadn't gotten my ticket. ”

Qiu Xuan replied to Lottie in the time of eating, "You are born to belong to the kind of person who 'don't have to worry about dying of hunger today', so you may not understand those who are hungry to the extreme and can give everything for a bite of food." ”

"It's not what you think!" Feeling offended, Lottie frowned and put down her knife and fork. The voice was too conspicuous in the unanimous chewing and swallowing, causing most of the eyes to focus on the brown-haired girl for a few seconds.

Lottie frowned and slowed down her movements, and couldn't help but retort to Qiu Xuan in a low voice. "I'm not the delicate aristocrat you think! I've been hungry too, and I know what it's like to be hungry. So I just can't understand these people, I obviously don't have the ability to eat, but I have to come here to participate in some gluttony contest like self-abuse! Watching us eat will not make them feel good, but will only worsen their hunger. ”

At this time, Qiu Xuan raised her hand and exchanged the empty plate with the organizer for the next plate of food.

She took a sip of the glass and looked back at Lottie, who was frowning at her. "Is your so-called starvation because of the 'training' of the older generation of Alexander? It's like this trial in Othello, because the Alex family doesn't accept a 'waste' who can't take care of themselves without any life experience. They will let the juniors in the family go out early to experience the world, which is known as experience, but behind the scenes, they will still prepare everything for these juniors just in case. ”

Lottie was stunned for a moment.

"Lottie," Qiu Xuan said with a fork in her hand cutting through the steaming meat chops that had just been served. "There is a story in our place about a year of famine, and the ministers of the palace reported to the emperor that many people in many places could not eat and were starved to death, and the emperor was surprised and asked: 'Why don't you eat minced meat?' ”

She swallowed a piece of chewed waist-eye meat, and under the stands, a yellow-skinned aboriginal stared at the food on the table.

Finally, in an instant, he could no longer hold back the thirst in front of him, and suddenly leaned forward and pounced on him in a fierce tiger grabbing food. Before he could even wait for the person on the stage to make a move, the next moment the knights who had been prepared around him had already subdued the man skillfully, turned around and threw it towards the other end of the beam arch.

It's like throwing garbage into the garbage bin at the bottom of the community.

"Lottie, you said these people ...... Why not eat minced meat? ”

The brown-haired young girl watched silently for a moment, her throat was hoarse, and then she put down her knife and fork, got up and walked to the other end of the arch.

"This contestant who leaves the table without permission will also be judged to be disqualified from the competition." The home host standing next to her seemed to recognize her identity and kindly reminded her.

Lottie waved her hand and walked towards Othello alone without looking back.

The moment her feet were completely out of range of the beam arch, her whole figure disappeared in place, and in an instant she arrived somewhere in Auxer.

Everyone knows that Oser is full of special magnetic field channels that are connected or not connected, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a foot in the air. Even the first second of bad luck, he just walked near a beam, and the next second he stepped into the air and was sent to the other side of the back of the continent.

Only by taking the most central "official road", that is, the stone road pointed out by the woman who gave her the admission ticket when Qiu Xuan was just teleported to this world at the beginning, only on those roads will not step into another place.

The premise is that anyone who takes the "official road" will always have to pay a price.

For example, tolls.

Qiu Xuan retracted her gaze and continued to eat again, now she had to make sure that her stomach was full, so that she would not feel hungry for at least a day after that. Then on the first day, she could also spare enough energy to find Qin Jiuyuan, who was also in Oselle.

After eating four plates in a row, Qiu Xuan stopped eating.

She took a look at it, and except for Lottie, who was one step ahead, at least none of the rest of the people had a gluttony contest bug like Chainsaw Man. But there are also a few people who eat much more than ordinary people, such as a woman sitting on the far right, she is also an executioner, and she can't see the ability of the specific major at present, but now the empty plate in front of her has been stacked, let alone a dozen plates.

Xiaolu: "No, no, no, there are only a dozen plates, which are not enough for me to stuff my teeth." ”

"You've cheated across species, sister." Qiu Xuan didn't leave, and for a moment he poked a piece of green vegetables on the plate with a fork, "But you said, even if you are an executioner, there should be few gifted people who can eat a lot of things." Or is it ...... Can this also be done through acquired training? ”

"It should be possible, I heard that there are also some big stomach kings that can be trained anyway." Xiaolu didn't dwell too much on this issue, "What are you waiting for, don't you try to go in and find Lao Qin early?" ”

"Wait, I'll see if he's coming."

"Who?"

"Crocodile."

The voice fell, and a few minutes later, at the other end of the arch, at the position of Drow City, the sound of several horses' hooves stomping on the ground reached people's ears from far and near. Accompanied by the flying sand of the horses' hooves, the scarlet cloak of the hunt agitation left a strong mark on everyone's sight.

It's Jussi's law enforcement team.

Of course they will come, this day is the day of the city-wide gluttony contest, and it is also the day when the city law enforcement team is most vigilant, and as the chief knight chief, it is only natural that Yusi will be responsible for patrolling the whole city.

"Is there a situation?"

The knight in heavy silver armor sat on a tall horse and leaned over and asked, the person in charge of the C-level beam here hurriedly told him about a city citizen who tried to grab food in front of everyone and was subdued on the spot. Jussi nodded briefly, "Keep staring, and signal as soon as there is a situation." ”

"Yes, Jussi-sama!"

The chief knight at the head raised his head at this time, and looked around carefully inside the beam, as if he did not let go of any wind and grass at all.

Qiu Xuan put the piece of vegetable that she poked into her mouth and ate it with her strength, while putting down the empty plate and getting up and standing up.

The movement was somewhat conspicuous, and the knight chief sitting on the black horse instantly locked his eyes on this position.

Qiu Xuan didn't deliberately look at him, and simply told the home man in charge that he couldn't eat, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Osser.

"Do you have wine with you?"

Suddenly, Jussi stood outside the arch and shouted in this direction, and even the eyes of the home team were a little surprised for a while. Qiu Xuan turned his head, calm to the extreme, and his gaze fell on the black horse.

"Do you have the scales on you, Jussi......"

"Jussi Alecshan."

She didn't make a sound in the last sentence, but her lips opened and closed silently to make this mouth shape. The knight chief sitting on the black horse seemed to be dumbfounded for a moment, and he also seemed to remain indifferent.

Through the silver armor tightly wrapped from top to bottom, Qiu Xuan couldn't see the expression on the face of the chief knight behind the armor. Only to know that after a long time of silent questioning, Jussi shook his head.

"I don't have the scales on me, Afu." "But the scales in my heart will never tilt. ”

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the vast majority of people in the beam, the law enforcement team on patrol gradually moved away with the sound of neat horses' hooves. Qiu Xuan turned to avoid the inquiring gaze of the home crowd that glanced thoughtfully at her, and walked to the other end of the arch.

The answer is obvious, or rather, it doesn't matter anymore.

Only a broken balance will never tilt.

……

Qiu Xuanmu had a wooden face, and she couldn't say a word, so she could only keep scolding me in her heart.

Wendigo, who was in a full state beside her, kept raising her claws to tear apart a few hungry people who didn't have long eyes in her way, and at the same time, she also controlled her huge body to rise and fall flexibly between buildings.

"Lu'er, don't jump on the roof, hurry down and find out if there are any other cracks, wherever you are sent, get rid of this sticky spirit first."

Just a few hours ago, Qiu Xuan casually stepped on a magnetic field crack, and when she came out, she was teleported to a place she didn't know at allβ€”in fact, she didn't know anywhere in Osier, so it was fineβ€”and triggered the ring on her finger for the first time, only to find that Qin Jiuyuan's position was still on the beam and didn't come in at all.

She didn't know what was wrong with the beam that Qin Jiuyuan was playing, and now she could only wait in Osel first, and roughly determine which direction she was in.

However, before Xiaolu could come out of the necklace, a group of people targeted her.

To be precise, she stared at the bag that Qiu Xuan was carrying, after all, she looked like a person who had just come out of Zhuoer City, and the bag on her back looked a little heavy, and she knew that there were good things in it at a glance.

At that time, the group of people who were eyeing Qiu Xuan turned out to be a group like the land snake entrenched in the place of Oselle, anyway, they looked much better than the people she had seen before who were no longer human. I don't know if I didn't stay in Oser for long, or if I still have my own way of survival.

Qiu Xuan looked at the people who were leaning around on the bright side, and said deliberately: "That's it, I don't want to cause trouble either." I have three bottles of wine and two biscuits in my bag now, and I can give you half of them, and then you can let me go. ”
