Chapter 33: Chris (2)
In order not to be late, Chris came to wait outside the main street early, this time the action was too important for him, no matter what he had to do, he could only endure it, maybe this was the last hope. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the sun slowly set, Chris finally saw Shure's figure, followed by several people, all of whom were Shure's type of people.
Usually when I see them, Chris walks around, but now he is one of them, it's ridiculous to think about it, Chris laughed at himself in his heart, but his face didn't show it.
As the sun sets, the chill hits. Shure shuddered as he clung to the thin layer of torn wool on his body.
"Damn the merchants. Shure cursed that the merchants were not nobles but lived an aristocratic life, which made him very unhappy, everyone was ordinary people, why they could eat and drink enough, but he could only hide in the shadows of the city and be spurned.
"Shure, what's next. "Chris doesn't want to waste time, and the sooner it ends, the better.
"What's the hurry, how can you act before it's dark?" Shure stood in the corner, finally feeling better.
Chris had to endure it, and everything was up to him.
The main street is the widest street in White Mist City, and this street is still guarded by guards during the day, and poor people like them are not allowed to come here, and they can only come and have a look after the guards leave in the evening.
The streets are lined with shops of valuables, such as jewellery and fine fabrics, which are not only unaffordable for the poor, but also for ordinary townspeople, and only for middle-class merchants and nobles.
Three of the shops here are Peel's, and I don't know how they came about. Shure has been mentioning him today, and Chris guesses that he was probably stealing Peele's things.
Night soon came, there was no talk of a night market, the shops were closed, and the clerks left after making sure they were locked.
"Let's go. Seeing that the situation was about the same, Shure led the way down the alley.
There are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and they can't start at all, so they can only look for opportunities in small alleys.
"Chris, you have one more chance, if it's too late to go. Halfway through, Shure suddenly uttered a word.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't be here. "Chris wasn't worried about making Shure angry, his attitude towards him wasn't a day or two, and if there were other ways to go, how could Chris come.
"Good. You can rest assured, you will know that you have made the right choice when you do this. Shure was a little satisfied, and all the people around him came step by step. Maybe Chris will be one of them soon.
Chris didn't answer, after doing this and getting the money, he planned to leave here forever with his sister, as a pauper in White Mist City, he would always be a pauper, and he didn't want to be in the same league with Shure for the same thing.
"It's here. Shure looked at the marker and said to the crowd.
Chris saw a circle drawn on the wall here, obviously today's event was not planned on the spot, he didn't plan to ask more about the specific situation, as long as he got what he needed.
"Go, go up. Shure ordered everyone to go up to the roof.
Everyone finally got to the roof through collaboration, except for Chris, who was unfamiliar with it for the first time, the rest of the people moved quickly, and they practiced it at a glance.
Further on is a courtyard, where the shops are not as simple as a room, and there is a small courtyard behind the shop where customers can sit and relax while picking up items.
After a lot of twists and turns, they finally arrived at the store.
This is Peel's sculpture shop, and it is said that the items here are all from the city-states of the Channel, and each is worth a lot of money. It's just that such things are not easy to sell in the black market, and things that are too rare are easy to find.
"Brothers, everything here is a treasure, any one of them can be sold for dozens of gold coins, you should be careful, don't break it. Shure's eyes were full of greed, and by the faint light of the fire, he looked around the room.
"Who is it?" Suddenly a voice came, and at some point, the clerk returned.
"Kill him. Shuer's muscles flare, and he couldn't allow what he had been planning for so long to be interrupted when he saw that he was about to succeed.
"You're going to kill someone?" Chris just wanted revenge for stealing something from Peel, he didn't want to kill anyone.
"You're not talking nonsense, if he lives, we'll all die. Schulton felt that Chris was a hopeless person, and that it might have been a mistake to bring him in.
The clerk realizes that something is wrong and rushes outside to call out for officers and soldiers, and Shure's accomplices quickly catch up and pull him back.
A man was holding a sculpture and tried to crush the clerk to death, but Chris stopped him.
"What are you doing?" the man was furious.
"Isn't it okay to tie him up?" Chris still couldn't bear to let someone die from it.
"You give me less wordiness, today is either him or you die. The man yelled viciously, holding up the sculpture in his hand and looking at Chris, as long as he intervened again, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
The man was about to fall down when he was knocked out of the way by Chris, and the clerk took the opportunity to slip out.
"Chris, you brought it on yourself. Shure couldn't help it, knowing that he was such a person, he had already dealt with him.
Chris knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he ran out with the clerk before they could react.
At this time, the officers and soldiers who heard the voice began to rush to this side, and he had to flee in another direction, even if the officers and soldiers did not catch him, Shure would have killed him the same, it seemed that there was no place for him in White Mist City.
He ran all the way back to the slum and left with his sister on his back without packing his things, Shure knew his residence and would definitely come to him as soon as possible, the sooner he left.
"Brother, what's going on?" the younger sister saw Chris's sweaty and flustered look, not knowing what was going on.
"Don't worry, we're just leaving. "Chris didn't dare tell the truth, her situation was bad enough.
Chris can't run fast at all with people on his back, it is difficult to run away if he takes the land route, and it is better to only have a water route at the moment, so it is better to take the opportunity to hide in a boat, no matter where he goes, than to stay in White Mist City.
The prosperity of commerce made it possible to get the dock still toiling at night, and the ships docked in the harbor were waiting to be loaded and unloaded, and only the boats on both sides of the dock would travel in the near future, Chris chose a boat on the left, because there was basically no one guarding there, and even the crew could not see two, but it was a great opportunity for him.
Quietly dodging on the boat, Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the ship started, he noticed that there were many people in the shadows, and they were clearly dressed as slum people. Remembering the noon performance, Chris felt like he was on a thief ship, and that the lord was probably a human trafficker.
"Where is this?" asked Chris with a weak heart.
"Ravenwood. ”
