If you want to see a city thoroughly, you can't close your eyes and ears. You have to put up your ears and open your eyes to see two corners of the city: the sunny place and the dirty place.

The former place is easy to find, as long as you have enough money in your pocket and wear clothes that are more luxurious than the king's. And to find the latter place, in addition to the first two requirements, you also need a good guide.

For example, the garlic nose head who was fascinated by the charm of "baby" and was leading the way for Ques and his party.

Three blocks away from the "Charron House," Quest was still pondering something as he walked. It all started ten days ago, when they had just arrived in Ramsay. In order to disguise their identity, they brought with them a ship, a half-mechanical, half-biological ship converted from a Leviathan, which was indeed a bit wasteful to run the boat.

Therefore, they robbed several ships at sea, all of which were special ships for the chambers of commerce in various places to transport gem coins. After obtaining a large number of gem coins, Sneid, the half-lich, put the coin on some tests.

He tossed the loose gems into a dish containing a solution of hydrofluoric acid, and stirred them slowly, dripping two drops of other kinds of liquid from time to time, until at last he obtained a pool of turquoise liquid. After some more testing, Sneijder began to lay out the equations on the paper to know what the composition of the stones was.

"That's interesting...... "After the experiment, the half-lich immediately asked Quis to report the situation.

"Are they real gems?"

Sneiard's mechanical prosthetic body trembled, as if he were laughing, "Of course not," he patiently explained, "and I began to think that these gem coins were so fragile that it might be a problem with the cutting technique. But after testing, I found that they were all just some kind of glass. Moreover, gem coins of different values are basically the same thing, and the only thing that distinguishes them is their color. And those colors were mixed by the gnomes with dyes. ”

"You're saying that all the currencies used by Ramsay are glass," Quest thought for a moment and came up with a bold inference, "then the core of the so-called 'financial system' of the gnomes is actually the secret of making stained glass." It is based on the secrecy of this technology that they control the issuance, circulation and authentication of currency in human society. ”

"That's right, and I've learned an interesting piece of information by torturing the officials of the Chamber of Commerce," the half-lich said after a while, "Every once in a while, the gnomes will come into contact with the big chambers of commerce, and they will collect all the broken gem coins stored in the chamber of commerce, and then give the chamber of commerce new gem coins as compensation. Nominally, they are doing 'product maintenance', but in reality, they are actually trying to prevent the Chamber of Commerce from discovering the secrets of the gem coins. ”

It was based on this discovery that Quest allowed his ship to deviate from the sea course and sail to the harbor of Soft Maple City to land. Because he had a rough plan that could be used as a breakthrough against that Stim. However, there are still many details that need to be designed and dealt with urgently. Coming to Soft Maple City, to put it bluntly, is a "trial and error" journey for him.

That's why they disguise themselves as ordinary merchant ships – though they don't look ordinary at all – and then pretend to be "out-of-towners" who don't understand the Soft Maple dialect at all, in an attempt to attract the attention of those who live in the dark corners of the city. Instead of looking for them, let them come and find you, or someone like the one you have right now who can help guide you.

As for why he was looking for the scumbags, a subordinate named "The Gloves" once said to them: "Every society has resentment and resentment, but there is no place where there are more such emotions than those who live in the backlight of the city." They're like powder kegs, and it might take just a little spark to detonate the city. ”

Quest has no interest in "blowing up the city", and his target is Stim, who uses others as "playthings". But it's like having to eat a bite of food, and it may not be of much use to try to bring down a god and just fight him in the past (although it's not completely impossible, but Quis's strength does not allow it).

As long as there are still people to support his ideas, as long as he still has believers, then no matter how seriously he is hurt, that god can climb back to the top.

This is where the gods cheat, and their tolerance for error is much higher than that of mortals.

So Quest either doesn't do anything to him, and if he wants to do it, he has to make sure that Stem pays off all the debts he owes. He wants to tear down the dominoes and set off a "storm" in the world of Ramsay, burying the high god forever and completely in the depths of the sand, never to be turned over.

And the first domino he was about to tear down was this soft maple city. After knowing the secret that the gnomes deliberately hidden, Quis already has "dominoes" in his hands. Now all he has to do is find the right finger to push the dominoes.

"Sir, go this way. ”

Garlic Nose walked in front and enthusiastically guided Ques and his party: "This is Charron's House, where you can enjoy a tavern, a hostel, an apartment, and a guest house at the same time...... Anyway, you can imagine the service, everything you need. As he spoke, he had an obscene "you know" look on his face.

Ignoring the guy, Quest and his companions walked through the gates of Charron's house in turn. There is plenty of natural light, and there is a flap opening in the ceiling for lighting and access. It's just that other than that, there's really nothing like it here. The walls are covered in smoky black spots, the floors are a mixture of aged rush grass and some kind of beetle juice, and the barrels behind the bar are soaking unsellable sour beers...... There were also a few guys with obvious bad intentions, staring at them deadly.

"Boss, I've already brought the sheep. I'm fat, do you have to give me a hard job? ”

Garlic Nose, who was still leading the way for Ques and his party just now, had already run to the side of a fat man at this time, still showing that flattering smile, half-bent and chattering flatteringly.

"Well said, well said," Charlen patted the garlic nose on the cheek and said to Wither, "Friends are here, why can't you welcome them properly?"

The second thief, Wither, nodded, and then he had a small hand axe in his hand, and with a round arm, he threw the axe towards the door of Charron's House, cutting a rope from the door.

"Bang" ......

The wooden fence fell, kicking up a lot of dust and blocking the passage between the place and the outside world.
