Section 06 Clues

The City of Light is home to the headquarters of the Church of Light, and the headquarters of the various organizations it has set up are naturally located here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is true of cathedrals, supreme courts, and seminaries.

Compared with the cathedral and the courthouse, which are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and even the core area has been under martial law, the seminary is relatively less nervous due to the external enrollment relationship. Of course, this is also because it needs to be open to the public in normal times, and there are not too many sensitive things here.

Of course, it is not completely absent, for example, the "study" in the seminary is very mysterious.

Everyone knows that the best students from all over the world come here to learn knowledge that is so high that they don't know where to go, but no one has ever seen a student here.

Legend has it that those students were concentrated in a very secret place, and they were not in the same school district as ordinary students, so they were not seen on campus.

However, for ordinary students, the so-called secret "study" is just something like an urban fantasy, although they more or less know that there is such a thing, but no one cares about it.

The same goes for Chubby.

Since he came here with the airship, it was just a change of place for Chubby himself. It's just that the seminary in the City of Light is bigger and more magnificent, and the people in it are more noble, richer, and have better benefits.

For example, fresh milk.

It's a limited-time luxury in Mogot, but here in the City of Light, it's just an ordinary drink. Here, the Holy Light Church provides a free breakfast, although this breakfast is relatively rich, but the amount is not large, basically people are maintained at the level of 8 points full, and must be eaten up and never allowed to be taken away or wasted.

However, there are no similar regulations for drinks such as fresh milk, and there are several large jars set up in the corner of the canteen, as long as you turn the faucet, the fresh milk will flow out like no money. Students can even use a large container to hold a drink and bring it to class.

Chubby seems to like fresh milk very much, just look at the container in his hand, and the people use a delicate metal cup the size of a mineral water bottle with a sealed lid. And Chubby uses a small wooden barrel like a thermos! Visually, a bucket can hold about 4 liters of fresh milk.

After receiving the fresh milk, in the surprised and contemptuous eyes of others, Xiaopang hurriedly bowed his head and left, and he didn't care about class, and ran towards the back door of the seminary with a small wooden barrel like a thermos.

Out the back door, Chubby headed all the way west.

The buildings on both sides of the road gradually became dilapidated, and eventually became a series of shanty towns, and the clean and tidy streets gradually became potholes.

Chubby carefully avoided the shallow puddles on the ground, the puddles were full of silt, and there was everything in the silt, small pieces of iron, broken wine bottles, orchid branches, etc., if this foot was stepped on, then the shiny leather boots issued by the seminary would be considered useless.

For the current little fat, these two-sided leather boots and the seminary uniform on his body are not only decent on the surface, but also a guarantee for their family to survive in this slum.

That's right, this is the slum.

Chubby and his parents followed Daddy McCarthy to the City of Light, a bustle and hustle and bustle he had never seen before, and when he first stepped into the city, he was driven crazy with joy at the thought of being able to continue his studies in this dream paradise.

The seminary has waived Xiaopang's tuition for 4 years, and when the seminary closes, even if he only passes the most basic examinations, he can find a job with a very good salary. At that time, Chubby will become the undoubted middle class, second only to those lords and nobles in social status.

And Chubby's father has already planned, although the family property has been lost, and the family wealth has not been brought out, but relying on this small family property and doing odd jobs in the city, he can still get by.

As long as you stay up until Xiaopang graduates and finds a job, the family will naturally be comfortable, and then use your experience and the capital saved by Xiaopang to do some small business, and the family will always get better and better.

But dreams are like a beautiful soap bubble, you don't need to poke it, as long as a gust of wind blows, it will disappear without a trace.

The first to be hit was Chubby's father, who couldn't find any odd jobs for half a month, and suddenly found that the city was completely different from what he imagined. Those people spoke the lingua franca, but Chubby's father found that he didn't understand it at all. The secret that was once proud of itself seemed to the people of the Holy City to be nothing more than ordinary common sense.

The dazed father realized at this time that it was so difficult to survive in this city alone.

When he talked to his new classmates about what he would do after graduating from the exam, he was told that there was no full-time academic degree in the City of Light, and no one even wanted an apprenticeship.

The so-called trial subjects and advanced examination courses are just basic education at the Mongolian level.

And that's exactly what happened.

Xiaopang found that his classmates didn't have the heart to go to class at all, but they were all giggling and pulling relationships with the instructor, and the problem was in style. I just met my classmates for less than half a month, and I didn't even remember the names, so those people were upgraded and left one after another, and there were only a few people left in the class who were still messing around.

By this time, their family's belongings had almost been used - the consumption of the City of Light was far from what they could have imagined as small traders and vendors in remote areas.

Chubby held a small wooden bucket like a thermos, which became a lifesaver for the whole family. Father, mother, younger brother, sister...... So many people seem to have just 4 liters of milk is not enough to drink?

But in fact, no, the tubat of milk was not for drinking, but was made into cheese and cream by Chubby's mother, and then sent to a small bakery in a civilian area to be exchanged for brown bread. Only by switching to brown bread can the food needs of the whole family be satisfied.

As he was hurrying away, a voice suddenly woke him up from his memory.

"Hey! Little fat man! Do you bring fresh milk to pull? Hurry up and give your fifth master a bowl to taste! A black, thin, middle-aged man stared greedily at the small wooden bucket in Xiaopang's arms, and accidentally saliva flowed onto the placket of his clothes.

"......" The little fat man looked up at the black and thin middle-aged man who claimed to be the fifth uncle, and looked a little hesitant.

This man, he knows, is the overlord of this ghetto. The fifth uncle had a rival before, but two days ago, his opponent didn't know who he offended, he was pinched off his neck and thrown on the road, and finally the head of the funeral house called someone to come and collect the body.

The strong man who once dominated the slums was stripped naked like a lump of pork, and he was thrown into the carriage and dragged away.

Since then, the fifth uncle has begun to tremble, and everyone said that he pinched his opponent to death, and recently accepted two idlers as his subordinates, and he was in the limelight for a while. No, a while ago, seeing that Xiaopang was wearing a seminary uniform and was still a full-fledged seminary student, the fifth uncle never dared to harass him.

Not to mention Chubby himself, even Chubby's family, the fifth uncle, has never reached out to them. This is also the reason why Chubby's father was able to use up his savings safely instead of being robbed.

But now, the fifth uncle, who has no opponent, obviously wants to take advantage of himself, and if he doesn't handle it well, he will be subjected to this plop in the future.

"Uncle Five, hello." Xiaopang thought about it, and still respectfully called the fifth uncle, if he didn't give this face, if he was annoyed and angry, it would be a trivial matter, and the family would be hungry if he was robbed of fresh milk.

"You see, there's no cup here, why don't you come to my house......"

"No, I'll just take a sip to my mouth."

"But ......"

"What? Don't want to? Fifth Uncle is not easy to bully, my iron hands haven't pinched anyone to death for several days, it's really itchy......" Fifth Uncle sneered.

“…… Just, just one bite. "Although Xiaopang is unwilling, his form is stronger than people, and how to deal with this guy in the future has to find a way from the Holy Light Church......

"Hey, hey, I've wanted to try this thing for a long time...... I've heard that it's a big supplement! The fifth uncle snatched the small wooden barrel, pulled out the stopper, and drank it to his mouth. Two streams of milky juice spilled from the corners of his mouth, wetting his chest.

Seeing that the black and thin middle-aged people all lifted Xiao Muping up, he drank at least half of it in this sip! And this guy didn't just drink, almost more than half of it was ruined by him! The distressed chubby next to him finally couldn't help it anymore and grabbed the small wooden barrel.

"Enough, enough! You've drunk more than half of this sip! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

was robbed by Xiaopang like this, and the fifth uncle, who was so addicted, choked on a mouthful of milk into the trachea, unconsciously let go of his hand, squatted on the ground and coughed and burst into tears.

"That's all there is left!" Chubby looked at the fresh milk at the bottom of the bucket and couldn't help but crack. When the seminary was serving unlimited fresh milk, it was only breakfast every day, and it was too late to go back to the seminary.

Yogurt takes time to ferment and dry, and the agreement with the bakery is to trade once a week.

Without fresh milk, today's cheese can't be done, and the family has less bread for a day, if the bakery feels that the little fat family has no credibility, and no longer continues to exchange bread for cheese......

…… Their whole family is on the verge of starvation!

Thinking of the fate that his family is likely to face, remorse and resentment surged into his heart at the same time, looking at the black and thin middle-aged man who was coughing wildly on the ground, Xiaopang suddenly became angry, picked up a stone and smashed it on the back of his head.

"Bang!"

The stone fell to the ground.

How can the fifth uncle still cough? The hands that were not strong clasped the chubby arms hard,

made the little fat arms sore, and he couldn't exert his strength at all, and he was kicked several times in the crook of his legs, and finally didn't hold it and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"The little guy is still tender...... But who made your life bad? Someone paid for your family's life, and the price offered by those big people is very exciting, but unfortunately I can't bear it. I'll have to run away after I kill you, or I'll be the one who gets killed......"

The fifth uncle smiled cruelly, wrapped the rope around the chubby neck, and took out a sharp knife from his boots with his free hand.

"Oh? So why do you work for them? Why don't you just run away? ”

"Hmph, if you run after the work is done, you don't dare to receive the money, and if you don't work, you won't save face. At that time, this kid didn't die, I would definitely be hunted down to the ends of the earth......" The fifth uncle stopped what he was doing and looked around vigilantly, but unfortunately there was no one, and his words fell into the air like talking to himself.

Is there really anyone?

After the fifth uncle finished speaking, he suddenly shivered, and he would never hear the voice wrong just now. But he couldn't find anyone...... What does this mean? This shows that the other party is much smarter than him!

“…… I wonder who spoke? Can you show up? ”

"So, they're too lazy to chase you when they're done and then run, right?"

"Of course, those big people naturally don't care about small people like me who are quite obedient." The person who came still didn't show up, so the fifth uncle had to be vigilant enough in every direction.

"But you're still not obedient enough, because you're reluctant to die."

As soon as the word "death" fell, although the fifth uncle was already extremely vigilant, a thin but extremely powerful hand still climbed his neck. Before those hands touched the fifth uncle's body, he didn't feel any signs.

At the same time, as soon as the fifth uncle's intention to resist rose in his heart, he felt a pain in his wrist and a weakness in his knees, and he fell to the ground in the same posture as Xiaochub.

"When the ......"

The fifth uncle's dagger landed on the stone floor, making a crisp sound of iron and stone impact.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Chubby broke free from the rope around his neck, and breathed in a big gulp of air, as if he wanted to burst his lungs. But Chubby still turned his head vigorously to see what the benefactor who saved him looked like......

…… It was a dark, thin teenager.

Sandfols?

Looking at the facial features of the black and thin boy, Xiaopang couldn't help but be stunned.

"How? You okay? ”

The previous voice sounded behind Chubby.

"You...... Are you ......" Chubby turned around laboriously and looked at the young man behind him, "...... Do we know each other? You look a little familiar......"

"Do you still have your membership card?" The young man laughed.

"You ......" The confusion on Chubby's face quickly turned into shock, and then joy, "Ah! I remember! It's you! Hydra! You're Hydra! ”

"That's right, that's me." Chen Yin smiled.

This little fat and Chen Yin once had a relationship, and the news of the duchess was told to Chen Yin by this little fatty. In return, Chen Yin gave the little fat man the lifetime membership card he won in the card game.

"Hydra, why are you here!? Oh no, I haven't thanked you for saving your life......" Xiaopang was attached and grateful, but the gratitude on his face turned into suspicion, and he stared at the fifth uncle and said strangely:

"I'll just say how he suddenly dared to provoke me, and anyway, I'm also a seminary student...... But how could anyone want to kill me? I haven't offended anyone, and I'm so poor that my family can't eat......"

Ada dutifully suppressed the fifth uncle's resistance, so that the fifth uncle involuntarily maintained a kneeling posture.

"That's exactly what I want to know." Chen Yinxiao squatted down beside the fifth uncle, and didn't care what he wanted to say, he directly pinched his mouth, stuffed a branch into his mouth horizontally, tied him with a rope that strangled Xiaopang, and asked Xiaopang while tying it up:

"Your home is not far away? Mind if I use it? ”
