Chapter 130: Backstreets
At noon that day, Lucan warmly received Lora and dined together at his home. After lunch, Lucan took Lora around the Starshadow headquarters.
It was also the first time for Luo La to see so many people with happiness on their faces, they had almost survived before coming to "Star Shadow", but with the help of "Star Shadow", they rekindled their hope for life, and lived strong and confident in the headquarters of "Star Shadow".
Everyone is self-reliant and self-reliant, people can do what they want to do, and the relationship between people is so harmonious and beautiful.
Everything that should be found in a normal town can be found inside the Star Shadow, whether it is a tavern, a concert hall, a church, or a school. People are able to pursue their dream careers based on their interests and strengths, with the help of "Star Shadow". And no matter what profession you are engaged in, people are always equal to each other.
What "Star Shadow" shows in front of Luo La is a perfect utopia.
It's hard for Lora to even imagine how Lucan managed to make "Star Shadow" look as good as it is now. If the good people he has met are good people, then all this that Lucan has done can be called great good.
If it weren't for the fact that she had unknowingly walked to the gate of the "Star Shadow" headquarters, Luo La would have even been immersed in that beautiful utopia.
"Then the despicable granddaughter will be handed over to you." Arriving at the gate, Lucan smiled and said to Lorla. Then, he looked at Lu Beni beside him, "Lu Beni, you are responsible for the future of mankind, do you have this awareness?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll do my best!" Lucan responded with the most confident smile, which made Lucan look relieved.
"Lu Beni still knows something about the backstreets, and letting her go with you can also relieve you of a lot of burden." Lucan looked at Lora again, his face becoming serious again, "Although the contemptible people can't contribute more, I still hope that the Church of Magicians can defeat the evil alien race and give humanity a bright future."
Seeing this, Luo La's face also straightened and nodded solemnly.
"The Church will never fail to live up to your expectations!"

Eastern part of the Sepien Plains, Gard Street, also known as the Back Street.
Leaving the headquarters of "Star Shadow", Lora and Lubeni took the carriage arranged by Lucan, and arrived in the back street in less than two hours, which is the place where the underground forces gather, and the most complex and chaotic place in the east.
The backstreet is actually a square built into a vacant lot, and the surrounding area is surrounded by low-rise bungalows built in a haphazard manner. But unlike ordinary towns, there are no people here who want to take care of it. This place is outside the three eastern cities, it is absolutely lawless, no matter how chaotic the scene occurs here, as long as it does not spread outside, no one will pay attention.
It is precisely because of the lack of care that the bungalows in the backstreets are always dilapidated, and some of them are so dilapidated that they will collapse at any time.
However, compared to the gloomy environment, it is very lively.
Everywhere you can see groups of people gathering to chat, and some of the bungalows are still sitting drinking and laughing together, and these people are from the underground world of eastern Sepion. And the vast majority of them are so-called underground hired laborers.
"Sister Luola, if you want to post a quest in the back street, you have to go to the tavern on the other side of the square, find the manager there, tell the manager the conditions of your mission, and give him the reward, and he will issue the quest to everyone in the eastern underworld."
Lubeni and Lora are walking along the broken brick road in the back street, and Lou Beni is explaining some of the rules to Lorla.
"Your outfit may attract the attention of many people, but as long as you don't reach out to anyone, no one will reach out to you. One of the rules of the underworld is to inquire less about the news that should not be investigated, and I ask Sister Luo La to be clear."
As the granddaughter of the leader of the "Star Shadow", Lu Beni is not only very familiar with the daily affairs of the "Star Shadow", she has even been mixed in the underground world, if it were not for Lu Ken's opposition, I am afraid that Lu Beni would also become an underground mercenary. Lu Beni, who is very familiar with the backstreets, naturally knows some of the rules of the underground world.
Indeed, as Lubeni said, the typical central Sepion dress worn by Lora did attract the attention of those around her. But as Lu Beni said, people only glanced at her and looked away, and no one walked up to Luo La to talk to her, and no one even stared at Luo La closely.
Everyone knows very well that the people who know the entrance to the backstreet and come to the backstreet will always have some unknown background. When you don't get a job, the less you know, the safer you are, and the longer you can live, which is the law of survival in the underworld.
The backstreet wasn't too big, and Lora and Lubene quickly crossed the square to the tavern of which Lubeni had spoken.
This tavern is arguably the most ornate and undamaged building in the entire backstreet, after all, it is also the only place where people live in the backstreet.
The owner of the tavern, the manager of the tavern, is both the only resident of the backstreet and the one who issues all the underground quests.
Pushing the door open, Lora could see that the tavern was full of people. People sat around chatting, and many crowded in front of bulletin boards on the walls lining the tavern, trying to find the one that suited them best from the variety of tasks posted.
"The most A-level tasks on the bulletin board are, and the S-level tasks can only be accepted by the manager in person, but the S-class tasks are generally only accepted by the more well-known underground mercenaries and those underground organizations, and others are either unable to accept them or dare not grab them." Seeing that Luo La looked at the people gathered in front of the bulletin board and showed a trace of doubt, Lu Beini hurriedly explained.
"Who is the administrator?" Lora quickly turned her attention away from the crowd surrounding the bulletin board and began to search for the tavern's keeper.
"Please follow me." Lubeni pointed to the front desk of the tavern and said to Rola.
Lora nodded, and followed Lubeni to the front desk of the tavern. Although Lora attracted a lot of attention from her outfit when she first appeared, no one came up to make contact with Lora .
"We want to post a quest, and this is the reward we have prepared." Lu Beni took Lora to the front desk, took the dimensional pocket in Lora hand, and placed it on the spar slab at the front desk.
The moment the dimensional pocket touched the spar slab, the spar slab shone with a faint light, which was to identify the amount of reward. Two seconds later, a thin figure appeared at the front desk, and this person was the manager here.
"With so much gold, what kind of mission do you want to post?" There was also some surprise on the manager's face, he had never seen someone come here with so much gold to post a mission. Generally speaking, the client who can provide a large amount of remuneration is visited by the manager himself.
"The Church of Magicians in the middle of Sepion will meet the attack from the demons in seven days, and the Church of Magicians is seriously lacking in combat power, in order to prevent the church from falling, which will lead to a crisis in the entire Sepion Plain, so I came here on behalf of the church to get the help of the powerhouses of the eastern underworld."
"Of course, I know the rules of the underground world, so I release it in the form of a mission, and those who think that they have strength, who don't want a disaster on the Sepion Plains, who are willing to help, and who are ready to realize death, can take on this task."
"Reward, ten gold coins!" When it came to pay, Lora deliberately raised her voice so that her voice would not be drowned out by the noisy atmosphere of the tavern.
As soon as Luo La's last sentence came out, the entire tavern instantly fell silent. People turned their eyes to Luo La's body, and their faces showed a look of surprise. The quest for ten gold coins can even be said to be the first time in the Underworld, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money. After all, ten gold coins is more than an average family's expenses for an entire year, and even S-class missions rarely have more than five gold coins as a reward.
After a moment of silence, the tavern was noisy again, but by this time the conversation was entirely on Rala's task, and they were expecting someone to take on it.
"Then, please decide how many people can accept the mission." The manager's face quickly calmed down, he had seen everything in the underground world for so many years, and today he was only slightly surprised by the record-breaking mission reward.
"All the gold coins here are rewards, no matter who thinks they have that strength, they can take this task and take ten gold coins until they run out. But those who take on the task must reach the city of Kiddell in central Sepion within five days.'"
Lora silenced the people in the tavern again, and she was undoubtedly saying that even if you weren't one of those famous guys in the underworld, you could take on this task.
The allure of ten gold coins is enormous.
"Understood, I'll release your commission immediately, is there anything else you need?" The manager was only stunned for a moment, and then took out a pen and paper to record what Luo La said.
"That's all I want to say." Lora handed the Administrator the dimensional pocket containing the gold coins, turned and left the tavern with Lubene.
After leaving the tavern, Lora felt that she was getting more attention, and she felt a little confused.
"Although you can't ask people for anything here, you can find out about every upcoming mission, so that you can be the first to know what is suitable for you. This is also tacitly approved by the underworld.'" Lubeni explained the reason why Lora received more attention, and that was what Lora said when she issued the mission, which was learned by people outside the tavern through various means.
Luo La didn't say anything, just nodded, and walked quickly out of the back street.
————————————
"Where are we going next?" After Lora and Lubeni left the back street, the two were at the junction of three cities, and Lubeni also wanted to know what Lora was going to do next.
"My companion has already gone to Nice City to ask for help from the organization in control there, I have already told her about my situation, now we just need to go back to Verol City and wait for my companion to return." Luo La looked at the magic hedron in her hand, which had turned into powder, and said to Lu Beni.
"Although it is not appropriate to say this at this time, I want to say that I am afraid that the organization in control of Nice City will not agree." Lubeni knew what the organization in control of Nice City was, and she also knew the character of the leader of that organization, which is why she said that.
Hearing this, Luo La frowned, but then smiled, "If you don't try, how do you know?"
