Chapter 36 The Present Situation
"Wind Thunder Courtyard?" Opening the dilapidated wooden door, Zhou Duan was wearing a blue coat, which didn't look like a style, it should be some kind of system, and the person who claimed to be the messenger found a formal envelope with proper wax oil in his hand.
"Yes, this is the department you were assigned to this time."
……
Zhou Duan woke up the night before, and then it wasn't until yesterday that his body fully recovered.
No, it's the health of the body that it used to be.
And the physical fitness that they share is still increasing the foundation of this body.
Then, after paying nearly half a month's living expenses, he finally changed from an illiterate person to a semi-literate.
At least we can communicate.
Then Zhou Duan dared to go out and look for some of the places he found on the paper ball.
Then something happened.
The part-time job of this body is a copying worker, and he writes some of it himself, and the ones that Zhou Duan sees are the other party's own creations.
Yes, that is, he was not a teacher at the Royal Condessay Academy.
It's no wonder that there is no word teacher on the position.
Zhou Duan claimed that the teacher had made a big joke at the entrance of the academy.
Therefore, Zhou Duan, who learned from the pain, spent more than half a month of living expenses translating the dictionary, and after a day of study, it was equivalent to ...... Level 4 English.
After all, there is a foundation in the lingua franca, and it will be very convenient to have a translation.
Shut the door.
Zhou Duan, who had already thrown away the cushion on the chair that couldn't distinguish the color, sat up, although it still smelled a little, but considering his financial situation.
Let's just do it.
Open the envelope.
"Mr. Xu Mu is well:
The Institut de Condessay is honored to invite you to be one of them. ”
The payment was made by the Institut Condessay.
Zhou Duan learned from the newspaper that the Condessay Institute held an admission test a few days ago.
The main target audience is young people in their 20s and 30s.
Of course, I didn't take the test as a student, but I paid a huge amount of tuition to take the test, and I joined as an auditor through the test.
Obviously, Zhou Duan was one of the people who passed the test, and besides, no one should have put so much effort into entertaining themselves.
But whether to go or not, Zhou Duan is still hesitating.
Some of the doubts I had before began to become clear at this time.
First of all, in the past three days, except for the landlord who came to collect the bill, I didn't have any friends who came to the door.
This gave Zhou Duan a lot of convenience, but it also strengthened his determination to leave here.
The demon only came here to kill himself, and the others in this building were unscathed, so he must have an opportunity worthy of the other party's action.
But the other party didn't come back to be sure, there are two situations, one is that he has taken things away from his "corpse", and the other is that this thing is only related to his life and death.
And this quota for auditors is just such a thing.
But there are also points that don't make sense.
For example, why the existence of the demon who can be invited can't afford the application fee to go to school, and since the other party wants to get his place so much, then he must know that this auditor is not so simple.
And these inevitably prove that if there is a person who wants to kill him, one of the identities or connections must not be low.
But I am completely unfamiliar with this world.
If the other party deals with himself, then his current strength may not be enough.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Duan paid the rent with most of the furniture in the original room, and sold twenty pennies from the landlord.
It is about equivalent to the purchasing power of 20 yuan in Zhouduan's credit card.
But if his body allows, Zhou Duan has no other way.
I changed into the only decent clothes, and everything else arrived.
Zhou Duan's rented room is in the northwest corner of the city of Condessa, which is a kind of slum, and the roadside is full of stalls with random goods and trading places.
Merchants do not dare to put the finished products, except for some powerful ones, they will choose to trade at the junction of the slum and the commercial area, where in order to maintain law and order, it is safe, but it is indispensable to be exploited by patrols.
Even so, there are profits.
Zhou Duan had read the books before, but he didn't find them, only the commercial and aristocratic districts would sell books.
And on the side of the slums, Zhou Duan has never seen the so-called "demons" in this world.
Similar to the star beasts, this world can be called demons in a contract with humans, but most of the demon camps seem to be chaotic and evil, and the demons who kill Zhou Duan are infected by their own demons and become puppets.
Outside of human cities, demons can be seen everywhere, and those who are kind to people are called spirits.
So the mystical side of this world is collectively called the spirit master.
For example, the Sutra is also a branch of the spiritual master, which belongs to the mystical power under the Eastern system.
As an exorcist, Zhou Duan can be regarded as basically entering the industry, but he doesn't have a capital contract demon.
Thinking of the diary information that was burned, Zhou Duan also had a plan.
Even the fatal wound of the bowl was survived, what is this.
……
Most of the roads in the slums are two people walking without seeing each other, only a main road that is convenient for the big people to go out of the city, and this road is also the life road of the slums.
Zhou Duan was going to follow this road to take a look, the road in the slum was not only narrow, but also dangerous, with his own strength, I am afraid that he really can't stand up to those ruthless people who have gangs and mixed streets.
At least not at the moment.
Walking past the unidentified people who were leaning against the side of the road and waiting, Zhou Duan jumped onto the main road.
I looked at it, and there were no street signs.
I think I should walk on the right side as well...... Right?
But Zhou Duan didn't see it, just when he saw him walking to a clean and spacious road.
The eyes of the brokers who were still sitting lit up, and they pushed a few people around them: "Look, someone has come out from there again." ”
"A young man?"
"Now the old ghosts, I'm afraid they have something to do again."
"I clean the roads for those boring private soldiers every day, why didn't you stop him just now? Human blood is the hardest thing to cleanse, and with the ferocity of those guys, everyone won't want to sleep tonight. ”
A burly man with a bare head walked up to a group of people and looked at Zhou Duan's back.
It's just that his footsteps are also clasped on the edge of the main road, and he doesn't dare to cross the slightest.
At this time, Zhou Duan also felt that something was wrong, and some of the people who were still hiding in front of him came out at this time, and they all looked at this side with a look of watching a good show.
At first, Zhou Duan thought it was a little strange, but soon he understood.
A group of men in gray uniforms came out of a shop inside, although it was in the middle of the city, and there was a gravel area between the main road and the slum, and beyond that there were shops along the commercial area.
All five came out of one of the stores.
Although these five people are ugly in Zhou Duan's heart, the momentum on their bodies is not bad, at least not much worse than before the jump.
But when Zhou Duan saw the strange patterns hanging on the other party's waist, a weapon similar to a large pistol, he instantly lost the idea of hard fighting.
This world is probably more dangerous than the savage world before.
"Here they are, it's the five of the Iron Bone Family, if it weren't for those magic weapons, we wouldn't need them to exploit them."
A voice hidden in the crowd whispered.
"Yo, let's let a few of us see this good thing today, but we can do activities." The five people with different appearances looked at Zhou Duan's side.
"Be careful, don't believe what others say," said a person next to him, "What this person is wearing, the material is not ordinary, the quality is a little different, but the temperament is different from the previous ones, if it is a little backstage, we are afraid that we will cause trouble." ”
"The boss is right, go up and interrogate first, if it's just a passerby, let it go, if it's a down-and-out queen, today it should be the death of the sixth child."
Zhou Duan looked at the other party quietly and said as he walked towards his side.
"What is this gentleman called?"
Zhou Duan looked at a few big men who surrounded him, a little speechless.
"Xu Mu." Zhou Duan replied, seeing that the other party's hand was clasped on his waist, he couldn't help but cooperate.
"Mr. Xu, do you know our rules here?"
Seeing these few people who deliberately looked like seniors in front of Zhou Duan, the people around them who were watching the excitement were a little commotion, and they didn't know why these jackals didn't kill people in the first place this time.
"What rules?"
"Mr. Xu's first time?" The other party used an extremely obvious tentative tone.
"No, I had an illness before, and I moved to live here with an old friend, what, are there any rules here?"
The man smiled a little stiffly: "That's it, there has been some unrest in the city recently, my brothers have been helping to patrol these days, and I have to report some suspicious people when I see them." ”
Does Zhou Duan think this means to be beneficial?
"So," the man continued, "do you have any proof?" ”
When Zhou Duan heard this, he was a little strange: "According to the kingdom's ban, a search warrant is required to search for free people. ”
Several people glanced at it and laughed cruelly: "It seems that Mr. Xu must not be a resident of Condessay, since this is the case......"
One of the five suddenly smashed into him with a punch.
Zhou Duan had already taken precautions, these people had such powerful weapons that they didn't use, so if they had to fight hand-to-hand with themselves, they didn't have to worry about anything.
Zhou Duan didn't know that these people enjoyed hand-to-hand combat very much for a good time on weekdays, but this time Zhou Duan's figure was just an ordinary.
But who would have thought that Zhou Duan just took a step back, and put the other party to the ground with a grab.
Then he took off the magic weapon from the opponent's waist.
I don't seem to know how to use it.
The other four people also reacted at this time, and hurriedly went to get the magic weapon on their waists, and Zhou Duan naturally would not let the other party succeed.
Although his current speed is not as good as his previous self, he is still not comparable to the speed at which the other party takes weapons.
The weapons of several people who had been snatched were broken and thrown aside, and by the way, the hands and feet of these people were tied with their clothes.
Then I walked into the business district.
No one came out again this time.
