Chapter 36: The Root of All Evil
Not long after Ye Fang left with the chicken legs, another little girl came over.
That's Gu Tong.
She looked at the roast chicken with some greed, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and asked, "This...... How much does it cost? ”
The burly boss with a blank face responded.
The little yearning in Gu Tong's eyes turned into loss, and he moved his steps and walked away.
Ye Fang had already walked away and returned to Mrs. Cather's building.
At the end of stepping into the door, Ye Fang stopped lightly and glanced behind him indifferently.
There seemed to be a shadow in the darkness.
Ye Fang returned to his room at this time.
The chicken leg and the commission fee made Ye Fang's mood good again, and also filled his stomach, calculating the time, Ye Fang took out the wordless book from under his bed.
Darkness fades instantly.
"Invitees...... Mr? ”
"Hmm."
"Phew, you're on time today."
"I bought a watch."
"Oooh." Sophia smiled, "Is the situation okay over there?" ”
"Okay." Ye Fang thought that he had burned his client to death today......
"Hee-hee. If you don't have anything to do, you're welcome to come and visit. Sophia smiled softly, "Of course, I may be doing all sorts of things during the day, so please don't take possession of me right away if you come as a guest." ”
"I know."
Ye Fang raised his head and looked around, it was still the girl's boudoir.
He was sitting at the dresser, which was covered with all sorts of flower seeds: "What are you doing?" ”
"Spawn." Sophia replied, "My ability to nurture flowers is related, even if I don't need seeds I can make the flowers I want grow out of thin air, but that's a lot of work, so I still need seeds, and with my powers, it only takes a few seconds to turn a seed into a bright flower, and tomorrow I can sell it for a good price." ”
It's not scientific......
Ye Fang frowned slightly: "So this is an ability with no attack power?" ”
"Ah......" Sophia was slightly stunned for a moment, and said softly, "No, although I don't like to fight and kill, the land of flowers is not without lethality. ”
"Hmm." Ye Fang didn't believe it, he looked at the "self" in the mirror, how did he look like a ...... A vase that grows flowers.
The perfect woman.
Beautiful smile.
A small little machine.
By any angle, she's clearly not what she seems.
Sophia let out a breath: "Anyway, I'm super powerful!" ”
Ye Fang chose to quickly end the topic and began to learn fighting fencing with Sophia.
Learning swordsmanship is quite a boring process, but time flies, and after sensing the headache again, Ye Fang slowly stopped moving.
Sophia asked, "Are you leaving?" Mr. Invitee. ”
"Hmm." Ye Fang didn't stay long, he knew that the girl still had to rush to prepare tomorrow's goods overnight, so he left quickly.
When the invitee left, Sophia let out a soft breath, but instead of returning to her dresser for the first time, she pinned the delicate noble sword to her waist, put on a dark coat, and slowly stepped out of the Christians' mansion and into the crystal city that had been shrouded in night.
The crystal city was filled with a faint mist, but the girl's pupils were a quiet sky blue, and there was only a faint bleakness in the deepest part of the eyes.
Soon, she disappeared at the end of the long street, her slender figure gradually shrouded in fog and night.
……
Returning to the body, Ye Fang stretched out his hand a little stiffly, pressed his palm on the wordless book, and shouted a little bit: "Sophia, can you hear me?" ”
Ye Fang wanted to see if he could get in touch with the girl from the Western Continent in other situations.
However, the wordless book was placed there quietly, without any change, and no girl's voice sounded.
Ye Fang had no choice but to withdraw his hand brightly, stood up, and prepared to go out again.
Carrying a kerosene lamp, Ye Fang met Mrs. Catherine downstairs.
Ye Fang's heart moved, and he said, "I saw an invitee yesterday. ”
Lady Catherine frowned, "It's a terrible thing, you need to stay away from them, Outlander. ”
After thinking about it, Ye Fang asked, "Why?" I don't really understand - I'm from another city and I've never really met the invitees, so why should we stay away from them? ”
Lady Catherine's eyes were evasive, and she didn't want to answer.
Ye Fang took out five old coins from his arms: "This is the rent for the next ten days." ”
Lady Catherine took the coin that seemed to be glittering, and lowered her voice as if she had been heard, "For the invitee is the root of all evil." ”
……
The root of all evil.
Walking on the way to the Heavenly Council, Ye Fang frowned and thought about this sentence.
Mrs. Catherine's expression was serious when she said it, as if she was saying something unspeakable, but for Ye Fang, in the era of being brainwashed by Internet culture, the root of all evil has long lost its terrifying meaning, and it sounds a little funny.
But the people of this world don't find it funny, and the root of all evil only makes them feel terrifying, and in some cases even acts extremely.
Unfortunately, Lady Catherine didn't know any more, and she didn't even know where this statement came from.
Ye Fang shook his head, his judgment was correct, as a foreigner, don't survive as an invitee.
However, today Ye Fang ran away, there was no commission that he could accept, and the few commissioned wooden cards he had been optimistic about before were gone, and there was a slight gap on the entrusted stone slab, and only a few wooden cards were left, which were obviously taken away by the other unveilers, and only Mother Teresa was still sitting sleepy in the corner.
Hearing the footsteps, she looked up in a daze and smiled stupidly at Ye Fang.
It's a fool.
Ye Fang quietly made up his mind and walked away.
But instead of returning to his home immediately, he wandered around the city.
The Night City Safe Zone is a "backcountry", the scale is not large, only the size of a medium-sized American town in Ye Fang's impression, and it is much more oppressive and heavy.
The pedestrians on the streets are still in a hurry, and the mixed buildings give people a surprising sense of harmony after a long time, the only thing that stands out is the spire of the Tianli Church complex, and to the east of the security zone is a cemetery, half of the cemetery is in the city of the night, half is in the security zone, and along the river there are small planting areas and breeding farms, most of the rich people in the security zone live along the river in the center of the security zone, but even so, these rich people are not nobles and rich merchants, in this kind of place, They can only do better than others.
Therefore, when Ye Fang took the initiative to knock on the door of a wealthy family, Mao Sui recommended himself to be a guard for the other party, but was ruthlessly refused.
