066 Slum Street
Next, when both of them knew how things were going on, after routinely solving the trio of ruffians, Caiyue suppressed his heart and wanted to catch the thief girl who had just passed by him, and when the silver-haired girl arrived, Caiyue didn't hold back after all, and before the silver-haired girl left, he spoke.
"The thief you're talking about is the girl, and she lives in the slums, and if you want to find her, just go to the slums and wait."
Chen Yu, who heard this, shook his head.
He finally understood that for a character who was set up, he couldn't expect to change his consciousness with small things. It's like now, he had already told Caiyue Pleiades about the plan, and part of the plan was for the two of them to go to the slums. Now Caiyue wants Emilia to be involved, whether this is to help her or harm her
Emilia only reacted when she heard Natsuki's words, and before she lost her badge, a girl dressed in a very simple dress walked by her, and after that, she found that she had lost her badge.
"Parker, how are you feeling?"
On Emilia's head, a cat suddenly appeared carrying a bag, which was gray overall, and had a white belly.
Seeing this cat, Chen Yu was a little nervous.
This cat is an elf on the surface, but in fact it is also an elf. The real body of the cat named Parker is not an ordinary elf, but an ancient elf with a golden glow, an ancient elf who has long lived in the permafrost world of the Great Forest of Eriolu and is in charge of the Mana of Fire (magic).
After Parker appeared, it didn't answer Emilia immediately, but turned its head to look at Chen Yu.
Just now it felt as if it was being seen through.
When it looked at Chen Yu, after realizing that the other party was just an ordinary person, it thought that the feeling before was just its own delusion.
Emilia notices Parker's anomaly.
"Parker, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Leah, you did meet a plainly dressed girl just now."
Parker's affirmation made Emilia react.
"So is that said"
"That young man should be right, he will choose you as king"
Before Parker could finish speaking, Emilia interrupted it.
"I see, let's go find her in the slums."
"Thank you for the clue."
After saying that, Parker sat down on Emilia's right shoulder, and Emilia jumped to the roof with a slight leap, and then quickly disappeared from the sight of Chen Yu and Caiyue.
"Excuse me by your name"
Cai Yue, who reacted, still wanted to ask the other party's name, but found that the other party had disappeared in front of his eyes, and his expression was a little lost.
Chen Yu was a little afraid in his heart, just now when he was looked at by the elf whose real body was very terrifying, he felt like he was being targeted by a mysterious and unknown horror thing, and the feeling was almost the same as the legendary ghost's upper body, and the whole person felt swishy.
"Pleiades, it's time for us to do our thing."
If it weren't for his ability to affect him, Chen Yu really didn't want to act with him, and sabotaged his plan three times and twice. Looking at his appearance, he didn't mean it, but he could still understand what was going on
"Hmm"
Because they had the experience of going to the slum street before, under the guidance of Caiyue Pleiades, the two quickly arrived at the slum street on the edge of the royal capital.
Walking into the slum street, Chen Yu felt the desolation in front of him. Compared with the busy royal capital, only a few people can be seen walking around the street in the slum street.
"Do you know where the thief's girl's home is?"
In Chen Yu's memory, he only remembered that Filut lived in the slum street, and that there was an old man of the giant clan who took care of her, Roma. The real place where the two lived was not described in the original work, so he didn't know where the location was.
Cai Yue shook his head, the previous experience he also met the thief girl by chance in the slum street, and then the other party left without saying a few words, and then he was assassinated when he walked to a dark street.
"Then we'll have to ask the local residents."
Looking at some of the people around you who are hostile to you, this kind of person must not come forward to ask, these people who only hate the unfairness of the world and have never thought of relying on their own hands, once they have contact with them, they will stick to you like a dog skin plaster, and even want to become a bloodsucking worm on your body, constantly getting benefits from themselves.
Except for these people who are not saved, we can only find those who live in the slums, but also work hard to live.
At the end of his sight, Chen Yu saw a middle-aged man in sloppy clothes, unlike the others, the others kept staring at them when they saw him and Caiyue Pleiades walking into the slum street, this middle-aged man had been sharpening the knives in his hands.
Behind the middle-aged man is an old house that looks like it is about to collapse at any time, at this time a thin girl walked out of the house, the girl walked behind the middle-aged man and hugged it, the middle-aged man touched the girl's head lovingly, it seemed that he said words of comfort to the girl, and the girl reluctantly returned to the house.
Chen Yu, who saw this scene in his eyes, decided to choose him as the person to interrogate.
"Pleiades, follow me."
"Ah, Brother Chen Yu, wait for me."
Caiyue followed Chen Yu to the middle-aged man, and when the middle-aged man saw Chen Yu and Caiyue, he looked a little panicked, and hurriedly hid the knife in his hand behind him.
Cai Yue was a little puzzled why the middle-aged man did this, while Chen Yu saw the wounds on the middle-aged man's right hand when he sharpened the knife. Although the middle-aged man put his hand behind his back and hid it, this scene still made Chen Yu notice.
"Uncle, do you have a very short girl with short blond hair living here?"
"Girls? Why do you ask this? ”
The middle-aged man had a wary face and a look of 'who are you'.
Chen Yu smiled.
"I'm looking for her for a bit of a personal matter."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a blonde girl living here."
After listening to Chen Yu, he knew that the middle-aged man was lying, and the total area of the slum street was so big, it was impossible for him not to know where Filut lived. Chen Yu, who knew the truth, did not debunk him, but just asked another question.
"Uncle, do you have a place to exchange things, we have just arrived, and we want to exchange the things in our hands for some money."
Since she can't ask where Firut lives, let's start with the old man of the giant clan who takes care of her, Roma. Anyway, in the original work, the person who hired the badge stolen by Firut traded with Firut in Roma's room.
"Redeem? If you want to exchange your belongings for some money, you can walk to the end of the road and you will see the hut, which is where the money is exchanged. Don't look at the shopkeeper's hateful face, in fact, the shopkeeper is very good. ”
Chen Yu's question did not arouse the vigilance of the middle-aged people, on the contrary, the middle-aged people also gave Chen Yu and them an explanation in advance.
"Thank you, uncle."
Just as Chen Yu left and the middle-aged man was about to sharpen his knife again, Chen Yu suddenly turned around.
"Uncle, think more about your family, the road you are about to take is a road of no return, this road may not only not be able to save your daughter, but also suffer unjustified disasters because of your actions."
Chen Yu's words were foggy in Caiyue's ears, and only the middle-aged man suddenly dropped the knife in his hand after hearing it, and his expression was a little hollow.
Perhaps it was the sound of knives coming from outside in the house, and the thin girl from before came out of the hut behind the middle-aged man again.
"Father, where are you?"
Chen Yu noticed that the girl's eyes were white, and she looked like a poor blind child.
"Mercy"
The middle-aged man hugged his daughter, and his voice was a little choked.
The little girl was very sensible, and after being hugged by her father, her little hand touched her father's cheek, and after touching the somewhat prickly beard, she smiled.
"Father, you haven't shaved in a long time."
was said by his daughter, and the middle-aged man felt even more sorry for his daughter.
Perhaps, sensing her father's loss, the little girl pressed her face to her father's face.
"As long as I have my father by my side, it is the happiest thing for Li'er."
The middle-aged man was left with only a silent cry.
The reason why Chen Yu said those words was because he noticed that when the middle-aged man sharpened the knife, he held the knife with his right hand and exposed the scars, these scars did not look like ordinary scars, and what he had to say to Chen Yu felt like scars cut by a knife.
In other words, ordinary people would treat their wounds as soon as they were cut by a knife, but this middle-aged man not only did not treat the wound, but continued to sharpen the knife. Although Chen Yu couldn't guess what the middle-aged man wanted to do, such behavior of the middle-aged man was obviously not something that ordinary people should do. So he reminded him that it was his own business to listen or not anyway.
When his blind daughter walked out of the room, he probably guessed what the middle-aged man wanted to do.
