Chapter 20: The Hidden Capital

Burnt and Luke roam the streets, and they come up with new things when they see them.

"What is this?" She held up a large fruit and looked at it carefully.

"Are you tourists?" The shopkeeper smiled slightly, "This is a specialty of our hidden area, blood pear." ”

"Sydney?" Xianxian frowned, "Shouldn't Sydney be yellow?" ”

"It's the blood of blood." The owner explains, "This fruit is very nutritious. ”

Xianxian knocked the fruit in his hand, "The skin is so hard, how can you eat it?" ”

"Dig a little hole in it and insert a straw." The boss went on to explain, "Would you like to try one? ”

"How much?" Xianxian asked.

"50 yuan a piece." The boss replied.

"50 yuan for one?" The monster looked at the fruit in Xianxian's hand in surprise, "Boss, you didn't cheat us, did you?" ”

"The yield of this fruit is very low, and it is not easy to pick. 50 yuan is really not expensive. The boss hurriedly explained, seeing that they were dressed well, he didn't expect that even 50 yuan was too expensive.

"Boss, bring me six." Without saying a word, Xianxian took out 300 yuan, "Open the five scenes for me." There is also a take-away. ”

The boss smiled happily, took the money and immediately began to chisel blood pears.

"Why are you buying so much?" The monster frowned, "It's just a fruit, you can buy ten catties of fruit for 50 yuan in the dynasty." ”

"Monster, put away your poor sourness, don't embarrass King outside." Goku tugged at the monster's clothes and motioned for him to stop talking.

"How can I be disgraced, and thrifty will be disgraced?" The monster looked at Goku with a wistful look.

Xianxian smiled and said, "It's rare for us to come to the hidden area, and it's nothing to have a luxury once in a while." King won't blame you. ”

"I'm a little curious about what your monthly salary is?" Xianxian asked, the treatment of the troops should be very good.

"Does the army get paid?" The monster looked at the other three with a strange expression.

Xianxian was surprised, "You are an officer, don't you get a salary?" King wouldn't be so stingy. ”

"We have food and shelter, and we don't even lack daily necessities. Basically, there are no expenses, and of course there is no monthly salary. Jesse said.

"What about your family?" Xian Xian frowned.

"Of course, it is also food and shelter, and there is also a living allowance." Jesse said.

"So, if one person is a soldier, the whole family will not have to worry about eating, drinking, and living?" Burnt was surprised.

"That's true." Luke said.

The boss inserted the chiseled fruit into the straw and handed it over.

After taking it, they handed it to Luke. "I'll ask you."

"Isn't all your money King's?" The monster muttered.

"This is my own part-time job to earn it." Xianxian frowned, "How bad is my impression in your mind?" ”

"Will King agree to let you go to work?" Luke didn't believe it.

"That was before I met King. At that time, it was miserable, he was wanted by the road director all over the city, dodged the cameras everywhere, and couldn't eat several meals. If it weren't for starvation fainting at Lucy's doorstep, I guess I wouldn't know where I would have died. Xianxian couldn't help but sigh that the reversal of life was amazing.

The monster suddenly fell silent, quietly looking at Xian Xian, she didn't seem to be the same as the human in his impression, and she was not so annoying.

"Let's stop talking, let's try it." "Is it delicious?" ”

"It tastes weird." The monster muttered.

Xianxian frowned, and tasted it himself, "The taste is okay." ”

"The juice is red!" The monster complained, "Don't you think you're cautious? ”

She pulled out the straw and looked at the red liquid, which really felt like blood.

"Boss, where does this fruit grow?" Xian Xian asked curiously.

"Valley of the Dead." The boss replied.

"The origin also listens to the cautious people......" The monster's expression was even more ugly.

"Is there any legend or origin of this fruit?" Xianxian continued to ask.

"Legend has it that many human corpses were buried in the Valley of the Dead, and this fruit tree uses the blood of the dead as fertilizer."

Goku hurriedly spit out the liquid in his mouth. Luke and Jesse continued to drink very calmly.

"These are just legends, right?" Xianxian comforted herself, she had tasted it just now, and it did have the fragrance of pears, but the color did not match the shape of the flesh.

"It's really not clear, and no one is going to look into it. The fruit is delicious and nutritious. The boss laughed.

"Luke, Jesse, can you still eat?" The monster looked at the two men in amazement.

"I bought everything, and I can't waste it." Luke said seriously.

"Luke is right, you better drink it honestly." Burnt laughed.

"Don't you feel disgusting?" The monster gave her a disgusted look.

"I think it's okay, I've eaten a fruit called dragon fruit, the flesh is also red, although the color of the two is not the same, but the fruit is just the fruit, who cares about what fertilizer is used to raise it?" "If you think like that, all the plants won't be able to eat. ”

"Just drink water." Jesse suggested.

"Don't dislike this fruit, its nutritional value is very high, it can enhance the body's immunity, and the feeling of satiety is very strong, eat one, you will not have a problem not eating or drinking for a day. For adventurers, blood pears are a rare ration. The boss explained with a smile.

"Did you hear that? That's a good thing. Xianxian echoed, "Hurry up and finish eating, we still have to hurry." ”

"Boss, I'll ask you something." "Are there many humans in the hidden area?" Where are they in general? ”

The boss was slightly stunned, "You want to find humans?" I heard you right. ”

"That's right, I do want to find humans, preferably opinion leaders in this area." 燨燨 added.

"It's rare for canines to come and ask for news about humans." After thinking about it, the boss said, "I bought this fruit from humans. ”

Xianxian looked at the boss in surprise, and finally got a little news about humanity.

And the Goku and the monster beside her all watched her with wary eyes. As for Luke and Jesse, they were still standing behind Burnt with a calm face.

"Boss, can we find humans when we go to the Valley of the Dead?" Xian Yan asked.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome." "They also have a place to stay here. ”

The boss pointed to the avenue ahead and said, "Go to the end of this avenue, then turn right on the third faΓ§ade and you will see a small hotel." When humans come to the capital of the hidden area to do business, they usually stay there for a few days. ”

"Thank you, boss."

"It's just a gesture, but I advise you to stay away from humans." The boss explained.

After hearing about the human race, it was time for them to set off.

"Hey, you're not really going to find a human, are you?" The monster reached out and grabbed Burn's shoulder.

"Yes." Xian's eyes were very determined.

"Does King know you're looking for humans?" The monster continued.

"You should know." She thought for a moment, and since King could guess her thoughts, he should have guessed her next move.

"Monster, our mission is only to keep Miss Nancy safe, don't interfere with anything else." Luke looked at him solemnly.

"But ......"

"If King believes Miss Nancy, I will trust her too." Luke turned his gaze to Burn, "And the dynasty is already gradually accepting humans, and W City has allowed humans to live there." ”

"Isn't there anyone who objects?" The monster was amazed.

"This is King's own order." Luke sighed.

"Monster, let's just listen to Luke's arrangement and protect Miss Nancy. When we return to the dynasty, we can go back to the army. Goku comforted.

"Forget it, I don't care!" The monster was a little irritable inside, he couldn't disobey King's orders, and if King really wanted to repair relations with humans, he would have to comply.

"It's finally here." Xianxian frowned and looked at the tattered signboard of the inn, such a building stood out in these complexes, and there was a sense of contrast between a local tyrant and a beggar.

"There's a human breath here." Luke seemed to smell it.

"And there are quite a few of them." Jesse frowned and met Luke's eyes.

"If they come to the door like this, they'll think we're here to smash the field, right?" The monster said.

"I'll go in alone, you guys wait here." Xianxian suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Wait, I'm not worried about you alone." Luke blocked the way of the burner, "I'll stay with you, Jesse, and a few of you will stay at the door, and if you notice movement inside, rush in to support." ”

"You don't have to be so nervous." Xianxian smiled slightly, "In the hidden area, humans and canines will not deliberately quarrel. ”

"When I go in alone, it's easier for them to take off their guards. If there's any danger, I'll do my best to get out. Xianxian said.

"You're really not afraid?" The monster looked at her with a frown.

"I'm human, why should I be afraid?" She smiled, pushed Luke's hand away, and walked into the hotel alone.

"Hello." She came to the front desk of the hotel, "Is there a human here?" ”

The staff at the front desk frowned and looked at her warily. "I'm human, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm looking for a human opinion leader here." Xian Xian directly said his intention.

"Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here? The humans at the front seemed to be wary of her.

"I'm human too." Xian Yan said.

According to the time, 1 pill can last for 7 days, and now the effect of the medicine should have passed. She deliberately didn't take the pill this morning, just for this moment.

"Wait a minute." The front desk dialed the extension number, "Ze, there's a woman looking for you." ”

"Women?" The man known as "Ze" frowned slightly, he couldn't remember when he had provoked a woman.

"What is she looking for me for?" Ze asked.

"I don't know, I just said I want to meet the human opinion leaders here." The front desk continued, "Do you want to meet her?" ”

"Okay, bring her in." Ze hung up.

"This way, please." The human at the front desk immediately got up and walked over to Xian Xian to help her lead the way.

She followed him through the narrow aisle to the inner room. As soon as the door was pushed open, she saw a middle-aged man dressed neatly and with a spirited face. He sat on the wooden chair with a slight bend and dark awe, his legs slightly open, and his hands clenched naturally on his legs.

"Little girl, are you looking for me?" Ze's voice was slightly muffled, and he looked carefully at the girl standing in the doorway, thinking about her intentions.

Xianxian thought for a moment before speaking, "Do you know the people of the Hu family?" ”

Ze frowned slightly and asked, "Are you looking for someone from the Hu family?" "There are indeed people in the Hu family who are here in the hidden area.

"I'm Hu Xin's friend, Wang ......" Xianxian thought of Hu Xin's great-grandmother, so she immediately changed her words, "I'm Nancy." ”

"Did the Hu family send you?" Ze asked.

Xianxian shook his head and said, "They don't know about my coming here. ”

"I'm here to convey a message to you that the dynasty has agreed to allow humans to settle in W City. The Hu family on the other side of the dynasty has already moved. "I hope that the humans in the hidden area can also move there." ”

Ze stood up, walked to Xianxian's side, and said coldly, "What kind of conspiracy do you have?" ”

"I just want humans to be able to unite and coexist peacefully with canine people." Xianxian explained.

Ze sneered, "We have been able to preserve our strength by staying in the hidden area all these years, how can we leave because of your words?" ”

She stood there disappointed, she didn't have the trust of humans, and she was determined to take a gamble.

"I'm King's master."

Ze seemed to be finally interested, "You are the woman who was kidnapped by Mu Ye and them?" ”

"That's right." Xian Yan replied.

"Although I don't know how you persuaded them to move to W City, exposed to the canine people's noses. But I'm not that easy to fool. Ze smiled slightly, "The humans in the Hidden Zone don't plan to get involved in the fight with the canines. ”

"Isn't there any room for negotiation?" Xianxian continued to ask.

"Nothing negotiable, send-off!" Ze walked back to his seat, sat down peacefully, and watched Xianxian leave.

"Ze, this might be a good opportunity." One person walked out from behind the screen, "If she is really King's master, maybe we humans really have a chance to fight back!" ”

"Of the seven, the most terrifying is not Neo and Ryan, but King. Got involved with King, and he was either killed or injured. Ze's eyes were a little gloomy.

"My father, it was because he believed in King that he leaked the extremely secret military layout. He couldn't accept his mistake and committed suicide by swallowing a gun. Ze's eyes were full of sadness, "He warned me never to trust anyone, especially canines. ”

"Have you seen King?" The man asked curiously.

"When I was a child, I was hugged by him and called him uncle." Ze replied.

"I don't want to meddle in the affairs of your Hu family." Ze looked up at the man, "I hope you can get out of the hidden area as soon as possible." ”

"Are you sure you won't join forces with the Hu family? When we find the head of the house, we will have the power to change everything. The man wanted to change his opinion.

"You've got a relationship with King." Ze looked at him solemnly, "It's good that we don't interfere with each other from now on." ”
