Obviously, in the eyes of those guys, Joshua was their accomplice. And if you attack an accomplice, you will also encounter danger the next time you take over the work, so you will never kill each other. Perhaps this is the unspoken rule of the slums.

After about a dozen turns of the circle, Alransell mapped the slum in his mind, and found that the terrain was like a spider's web, with countless branches that could not be seen on the map.

And the narrow branch hides an unknown number of outlaws with weapons, and if the city lord really wants to completely govern this area, he will probably have to spend a lot more manpower and financial resources.

Leaving them to their own devices may be the most cost-effective way to govern. After all, once the people in the slums leave the slums, they are themselves in the net, so they will not have much impact on other regions.

Finally came to the path where the sun could be seen, and Joshua's expression was a little lighter, and a drop of sweat fell from his forehead, which obviously took a lot of energy.

"Walk straight from here, and you'll be at Fili's pharmacy in a moment."

Joshua whispered, still clutching the iron rod in his hand.

"It's the first time I've known there are so many dark tunnels here, Joshua, I think you've memorized the terrain here, right? That's amazing. Hiring you seems like the right choice. ”

Joshua didn't answer, but his back straightened and his steps quicker.

It seems that Joshua was not used to being complimented. I hope I didn't say anything superfluous, Aransell thought a little embarrassed, but suddenly heard a sharp shout.

"Damn little girl, I bought your flowers with kindness, but you deceived me! Do you know how badly you made me laugh at by my sisters! ”

Alansell frowned, and when he looked up, a woman pulled up her skirt, lifted her high heels, and kicked a little girl in the chest, who slammed against the wall and cried in pain.

The purple flowers in the flower basket in his hand were scattered all over the ground.

The woman was the same woman who had just been in the gate area, and she didn't care if the little girl was crying or not, and was pointing at her and scolding angrily.

Behind him stood three men, two of whom were naturally her bodyguards, and the other, the man who had recommended him to Aransale, who claimed to be good at driving away vicious dogs.

"Charlotte!!"

Before Aransell could say anything, Joshua suddenly shouted angrily and rushed frantically with his iron rod.

"Wait, Joshua!"

Maybe the little girl named Charlotte was Joshua's friend, which is why he was so excited. But no matter how you look at it, Aransell doesn't think Joshua can beat the two guards who you can see at a glance.

The woman was startled by Joshua's shouts and immediately hid behind the guards. One of the guards stepped forward, his face full of indifference.

Joshua shouted, picked up the iron rod and swung it, and the guard's fan-sized palm grabbed the iron rod firmly, snatched it with great force, and immediately flew up, and Joshua flew out.

He was kicked to the ground, his face struggling to get up in pain, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it! What the hell is this place, Ganden, kill this bastard boy for me! I'm going to get this little bitch with a mouth full of lies back! ”

"Stop!"

Gan Deng, who tugged at Joshua's collar and lifted him up like a chicken, was stunned for a moment, and he saw a blue-haired young man walking over with an angry face, so he looked a little hesitant.

This young man was well-dressed and fair-skinned, and he would never be a slum man. He looked at his mistress and waited for instructions.

“…… Who are you? ”

The woman was obviously a little puzzled when she saw Aransale.

Great, it seems that this group of people also thinks of him as a nobleman. Aransell breathed a sigh of relief. He's not good at fighting, but as long as the other party is willing to talk, then there is room for maneuver in this matter.

A few commoners gathered nearby, who seemed to be interested in the dispute between the two nobles. After all, in this ghost place, you usually don't see people with noble status at all. But they didn't dare to get too close, just watched from afar.

"Hello, beautiful lady, you see, you are wearing a dress from the Favina chain today, which perfectly complements your beauty.

God willing, it's wonderful to be able to meet you in a place like this, isn't it? I don't think it's the right nobleman to beat a weak and impoverished little girl. ”

Alansell put his right hand on his chest, put on an elegant smile, leaned over slightly, and made a noble salute according to his memory.

He secretly glanced up, and sure enough, this woman was a real nobleman. After being praised by Aransail in such a menacing manner, she looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, pinched the corner of her skirt with her lace gloved hand, and bowed her head slightly in return.

"I am the third daughter of Baron Summers of the Adriatic District, Aiya Polansi Summers. You are......? ”

"Aransel Dirkhia. I'm from the southern part of the empire, my father is Viscount Dirkhya, and I currently work for Count Seth in the district of Hard.

Lady Aya, I must tell you once again that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and that the young lady of Count Seth's house is not as beautiful as you. ”

In his memory, Dirkhya was his father's subordinate, but he was not a viscount, but just a butler.

But it didn't matter, Arancel didn't think that the barons of the Adriatic district would be so clear about the affairs of the counts' families in other regions, and now the important thing was to scare the woman.

The viscount was one level higher than the baron, not to mention that his boss was a well-known Imperial Count - in the Empire, the count's name was the same thing to the nobles as the textbook required knowledge.

Aya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning. The face is a little unpleasant. Viscount Dirkhya? Or is it the Harder district?

Aya was a little suspicious of Aransale's identity, but the thought that his father's boss was Count Seth made her feel a little panicked. Of course, she is familiar with the name of Count Seth, and she is not a fool, and the other party has moved the name of Earl several times, which is obviously a subtle deterrent.

In the aristocratic world, class, although fixed, is also related to the region to a certain extent.

For example, although Aransell claims that his father is a viscount, he is from the district of Hard. And this is Adriatic District, even if Aya's father is only a baron, there is no need to put his stature too low when facing an out-of-town viscount.

After all, the baron and the viscount are only one level apart. But this set will not work for the count, and there is a world difference in the dignity of the baron and the count.

Aransell smiled quietly and glanced lightly at Joshua in Ganden's hand.

“…… Let him go. ”
