Chapter 51: The Alchemy Tower Exploded

It's obviously a summer afternoon, the season of restlessness, but the moment I saw that face, the whole area seemed to be frozen in an instant.

The man who was hit wore a cylindrical high hat with three loops around the roof and a few frayed holes in the middle.

Decent black tuxedo, standing up straight and chatting extraordinary, only to notice that the person who was hit by himself was two heads taller than himself.

The black cane in his hand is slightly thicker than the average cane, and there is no ornament on the top of the cane, and the end is a copper cladd, which is also carved with exquisite lines.

Whether this hits a wall or a person, it hurts!

"Yes, I'm sorry sir, I didn't want to bump into you!"

Extraordinary stroked his chest and bowed to apologize, and his mouth was unfavorable because of the gentleman's mask.

On the way here, when entering the outer city, the few passers-by on the side of the road wore this kind of beak mask, the round holes on both sides are air valves to filter the air, and the whole beak is made of leather and sewn with thick threads.

The tall man in front of him in a bowler hat, the entire beak was sealed with metal rivets, two round black glass goggles, the upper and lower beaks were riveted by some kind of metal at the tip of the front beak.

"Oh, it's okay!"

The tall man raised his right hand with black leather gloves, nodded in return, and glanced up at Dosta, who was not far behind him.

Well, this is an extraordinary illusion, the lenses are jet black, the top hat and the bird's beak mask wrap the man very tightly, and even there is a sand scarf around his neck.

Gu Lie came to Extraordinary first and said hesitantly: "The moment this man turned around, it made me feel extremely dangerous, but this feeling was as if it didn't exist. ”

It seems that it is not his own senses that have a problem, but that this man has a problem.

But thinking of the emphasis in the notes left by Jacqueline's mother, Extraordinary had no other plans.

Go home.

The gods have determined the role for everyone, don't mind the gossip around you, especially the wandering girl.

At first, Extraordinary also felt that his continental lingua franca vocabulary was not enough, and repeatedly determined that it was "Lang" instead of "Liang", and he instantly discovered the greatness of Kesai's father.

Waves can't be waves, and the colorful and gorgeous life has long since left Kesai.

After returning home to make up for lunch, Extraordinary called Gu Lie to the room alone for questioning.

"Mr. Gu Lie, it's been less than three hours since you went out and returned here, not including creating illusions. ”

is a very stable statement, Gu Lie can't understand it, and can only go down the extraordinary.

"Extraordinary...... Uh, my stealth is still beginner, and it could be faster if I advanced. ”

Important, big brother, don't care about the details.

"Gu Lie, where did you find those two bodies, well, roughly. ”

Fortunately, Dota warmed up the two thieves in advance, and Gu Lie vaguely understood the extraordinary meaning.

"The corpse pit in the outer city!"

"I saw those two people when I lit the fire, well, it was still fresh!"

"yes, every slave is thrown into those pits!"

Silence, long silence, Gu Lie was not sure of his extraordinary attitude, and he did not open his mouth to ask.

This can't be said, and it can't be said, because the difference in world views has caused the two to sit opposite each other, but their minds are at both ends.

"The kingdom hasn't fought a war for 50 years, where did these slaves come from?"

The question came out, the extraordinary was silent again, what was good, the slaves were either robbed or bought.

"Hehe, Orlanto doesn't fight, Bitland does, the Bitland Kingdom and the Duchy of Taal fight. ”

Looking at his sentimental employer, Gu Lie did not continue to taunt.

"Thousands of people are dying on every continent, wars, plagues, plagues. ”

Extraordinary is not the Virgin either, and he has no intention of pushing the entire continent to rebuild.

"I just don't know how many of those who died were insured!"

"My lord, the poor can't afford insurance!"

"100 gold coins can't afford it, 1 silver coin can't afford it, so what about 50 dinars?"

50 dinars is the lowest standard for an insurance deed known to Viva, and the beneficiary can receive 5 silver coins.

Gu Lie didn't answer and shook his head.

He thought that 50 dinars was a poor man's bread money for two and a half weeks, and that no nutritious brown bread would cost 1 dinar, and that if he didn't eat bread, he would starve to death.

Even if you sign an insurance contract, how many will you starve to death and defraud God of the insurance money?

Even if you cheat the insurance money, the gods won't blame it, but the rules of the Insurers Association require you to wait two years before you can get the insurance money.

Two years later, the whole family is starving to death, what is the use of still needing insurance money?

"Gu Lie, come with me!"

The carriage traveled from the rubble to the central district, and from the central district to the south, towards the outer city.

The glass of the carriage was well sealed, but Gu Lie still carried two dust masks in his hands, one beak-like and the other pig's beak.

Extraordinary fiddled with the honeycomb air valves on both sides of the "pig's mouth" mask, a little low.

"Look, extraordinary, the flatter peaks to the east. ”

Gu Lie excitedly raised his arm and pointed out the window, his dark brown bent bangs shaking up and down with his excitement.

I looked up, it's very usual, Yorktown is surrounded by mountains, and I can see it every time.

"Look inside the mountain, you know? The whole mountainside is empty, and there is a steam train running inside!"

Gu Lie's face was full of enthusiastic smiles, at least he felt that he could be infectious.

Accompanied by him all the way, Gu Lie knew that the handsome young man in front of him was just a young man who had just passed the coming-of-age ceremony.

If that troll were here, the eight-year-old orc would be able to hunt alone.

Feeling Gu Lie's kindness, he pulled down the monocle goggles on the top of his head, dialed the lenses of farsightedness, and overlooked Cangshan in the distance.

The mountains in the distance seem to be pulled in front of you, and you can touch them as long as you put your hand out the window.

Sure enough, there was a foggy white smoke between the mountain gaps, which should be the steam emitted from the exhaust pipe of the mountain tunnel.

Nearly two hours later, the carriage arrived at its destination.

The low shack in the distance, although it is summer, but the top of the shack is all dried yellow grass leaves, and the two uncoordinated branches are the load of the whole shack.

These are the first time I have passed on the avenue, and the rocks that I thought were at the foot of the mountain were patched and potholed.

The inner city is in the middle of the entire basin, while the outer city is scattered throughout the entire ring of the basin foothills.

The shacks are not built on the mountain for safety, on the contrary, the beasts on the mountain, the flash floods in the summer, and the mudslides can destroy a shack area at will.

The most striking building in the middle of the shack area is the huge production tower.

Each tower has a row of huge chimneys that emit thick smoke like air.

At first, Extraordinary thought it was all black smoke, but he knew that when he saw the bewitching green, the cunning yellow, and more of it, it was pitch black smoke.

"Poof, poof, poof, poof"

Extraordinary with a pig's mouth mask, breathing with some difficulty.

Behind him, Gu Lie followed the extraordinary aimlessly walking forward, the same withered yellow shacks, all kinds of alchemy towers full of pipes.

Looking at these, it is better to go to the crop workshops in the north.

Finally, the uncle in front stopped.

After walking for so long in the shack area, Extraordinary finally saw an active person.

A boy, at the door of the shack by the side of the road, was pulled under his chin with an unrecognizable piece of cloth over his mouth, and a wooden bowl with a notch in his dirty hands.

Through the monocle, the dirty and yellowed water should be connected under the rusty water supply pipe.

The boy licked his lips, but did not drink immediately. Extraordinary guess should be waiting for the water to clear.

After walking through a few more shack areas, the foot of the mountain in the distance is also clear in the view of the monocle.

Didn't go any further, and the situation inside the sharpened fence made Extraordinary almost throw up.

The shack area is dirty and messy, and at least there are some shadows of human society.

And the scene inside the fence can be hell. Wooden cage after cage was arranged one after the other

Some cages are filled with "people" with red fruits all over their bodies, while others are not filled with people, but they are presented under a monocle with a bright red color.

Extraordinary spat out, because next to the cage was a carriage without a car, and there were people lying on it.

Suddenly, a familiar breath permeated the extraordinary nasal cavity.

It was next to the power plant in the previous life, and the chemical factory only smelled the smell, which was obviously disgusting, but it made Extraordinary couldn't help but take a few more sips.

"Ahh

When Extraordinary got used to the itching and sourness of his nose and eyes, as well as the burning pain in his throat, Gu Lie came behind Extraordinary.

"Gu Lie, is it a slave concentration camp over there?"

"Yes, there are more than a dozen such camps. ”

He handed the "pig's mouth" mask to Gu Lie behind him, and pushed the monocle in front of him to the top of his head, and he stared at the Alchemy Tower not far away.

"What are you crammed into that slender alchemy tower for?"

"To survive, my lord. ”

Unconsciously, Gu Lie's answer was filled with honorifics.

A slender man who aspires to become a thief, his bright blue eyes are shining.

Gu Lie respects anyone who reveres life.

"Here's a message that I hope will make you happy again, my lord. ”

"Oh?"

"Quick!"

The good news can be uplifting.

"The end of the seven-nation conference was held in the royal capital of Orlanto, and according to ten important items, there was a provision for the abolition of 'slavery'. ”

"Haha, that's great news!"

The extraordinary laughter that regained his energy came to an abrupt end after only five seconds.

Gu Lie didn't know why, and thought that this hard-to-read employer was a glass-hearted.

When the same costume, the same cane, and the same beak mask appeared in Gu Lie's sight, the keen thief saw that the employer in front of him was on the verge of a big burden

The mage needs to mobilize the magic element to complete the magic perception, the knight and the swordsman rely on the "strong man's heart" to perceive the surroundings, and the thief is slower, and the thief's perception ability is only released in the stealth state.

Therefore, the extraordinary first discovered the comer, and Gu Lie later realized it.

The swallow-tailed man slowly approached like this, and when he walked to the side of the extraordinary, he turned his head and passed by.

"We seem to have met, what a coincidence!"

It wasn't until the swallow-tailed man was far away and disappeared by a certain shack that Extraordinary let out a sigh.

"Hey, Gu Lie, do you know? This man with a mask is at least a high-level profession, I used magic to feel the alchemy tower over there, and this guy was only discovered by me when he walked to his face. ”

Some ashamed thieves roared in their hearts: "If the thieves don't sneak, they will eventually fight the five scum!"

Just as the two of them were gathering their mood and preparing to return, an alchemy pagoda in the distance erupted with a dazzling light.

"Boom"

It took a while to hear a loud bang.

And the man with the beak mask who passed just now came from that direction.
