It's just one street away from the main road, but it's a place with a depressing atmosphere. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Silent paths, the breath of humans and creatures are far away.

It's not far from the noisy road, but the hustle and bustle is like being on the other side of a dream.

"If you want to sell the stolen goods, you will be dragged to the slums......"

While muttering to himself, turn from the main road into the Pleiades of the side road, and poke your head into the alley that leads to the legendary slum.

"Whether it's the air or the atmosphere, the people there are very bad personalities. Are you really going?"

Shatila was surprised: "Isn't the person who said that the badge would be there? besides, the shopkeeper also said that it should be there......"

"But you haven't forgotten that he then suggested that we better give up, right?"

Ruminating in the conversation at the fruit store, Cai Yue's face was serious, and somehow he always felt that when the fruit shop owner talked about this, there was an inexplicable banter in his eyes.

About thirty minutes have passed since they met the girl and her mother at the fruit shop and turned over from the valley floor – and the two have now arrived at the entrance to the slum where it is rumored to contain many stolen goods from the royal capital.

The two are regarded as benefactors, and the scary-looking boss listens to them affectionately tell them about their predicament. As a result, although he received information about the slums, he was in a dilemma.

"It's still too late, it's better to call someone, right......? It's called the guards, right? Please search for someone like that, and if you use the crowd tactic, you can get it done at once?"

"No, you can't. Shatila's tone was resolute.

However, the Pleiades' proposal was decisively abandoned. Such a resolute attitude made Pleiades roll their eyes.

"I'm sorry, but no. I don't think the guards would go out for the little thing we did...... Also, I have a reason why I can't ask the guards. ”

Shati pursed her lips tightly and looked at Pleiades with a "I can't say why" look.

She didn't want to be asked. Natsuki took the gaze and gently raised her hand in response.

As a man, he undoubtedly understands women very well, but it is a pity that this scene in front of him will also become a pain in his heart in the near future, which can only be said to be unpredictable.

"Okay, so what's next??," Cai Yue asked helplessly.

"It's two people and a cat. ”

In order to shake off the dull atmosphere, the kitten deliberately replied to the Pleiades in a relaxed tone.

Parker, who suddenly appeared on Satila's shoulder, looked around at the two as he washed his face with a cat's paw.

"That's right, but there's no time for you guys to talk and fart right now. Even if I want to carry out the crowd tactics of two people and one cat, I won't be able to hold it for another hour or so. ”

Parker looked up at the sky, and the two of them followed suit, only to realize that most of the sky that could be seen between the buildings had turned orange. Not because the ghetto was dark, damp and smelly, but because the sun was starting to set, which meant Parker's time to get off work.

"Hurry up and decide whether to go forward or go back. ”

"I don't know much about crowd tactics, but of course it's forward. Whichever way you go, missing the badge now risks going where we won't find it again. ”

After responding to Parker's request, Sajira re-faced Ang.

"So, let's go...... However, when you enter this alley, you have to be more vigilant than before, after all, it is a place where people who are used to abducting and robbing live, and you can stay here if you are afraid. ”

"How delicate I am to stay here!Let's go, I'll cling to you like a spirit behind me!"

"Why don't you go ahead, that's what helps. ”

Hearing the powerful speech that was ready to run away, Satila didn't know how many times she had sighed.

Pleiades thought to herself that since they met, she had done everything she could to make Shatila's expression gloomy, and even if she occasionally smiled, it wasn't because of Pleiades. It's so cute when you show negative emotions, and if you smile at the Pleiades, it's the ultimate gem.

"Well, I'm here to let you see one or two of my strengths. ”

"Why do you say that all of a sudden? And he opened his nostrils wide and breathed hard. ”

"Thank you for ruining the scene where I made up my mind!"

Even though the momentum was greatly damaged, the Pleiades still quickened their pace to keep up with the back of the person walking in front.

He also waved his hands vigorously so as not to be thrown down by the girl who was moving forward towards his goal.

The renewed search leads to the next level, the slums, where it is expected that the two of them will encounter difficulties - originally thought so, but unexpectedly, an unexpected character came in handy.

"Who? Yes, it's me! For some reason the slum dwellers are unnaturally gentle with me. What has changed...... I guess I adjusted my charm value at this point in time, right? I haven't adjusted it since kindergarten!"

When I was a child, I had a very cute appearance, and if my hair was long and uncut, I would often be mistaken for a girl - but after more than ten years, I became this virtuous, and God was really cruel.

"What's different about me? Do I get anything on my face?"

"He has bad eyes, short ears, and a flat nose......"

"Can you not add such annotations as bad eyes and flat noses!?"

Dejected, Satila put her finger to her lips in annoyance.

"Well—the reason probably has to do with your dress. It was dirty, and some blood stains could be seen. The inhabitants of this place also seem to be having a hard time, so they sympathize with the Pleiades who seem to be extremely pitiful......"

"Now I'm so pitiful that I'm pierced by your words! But I can understand, damn it!"

It is also known as masonry, and the residents of the slums have an unexpectedly high level of affection for the Pleiades. Although this is a gain, on the contrary, their favorability of Shatila is exceptionally low, and the reason is also due to her dress.

A girl dressed as an aristocrat appears on the streets of the slums, and there is only a ghost if someone has a kind eye on her.

"Those little thugs seem to think the same way, after all, you look pretty and chic. ”

"Isn't it really eye-catching......

Stretching the white hugging sleeves she was wearing, Shatila asked uneasily. However, she thought it was just a matter of clothing, and she seemed to care too much about her soft appearance.

"Well, I'd like to ask ......"

"Ahh ”

Fang Cai too, Shatila was coldly interrupted just as she spoke. The success rate of searching for information is so low that it is twice the square of the appearance multiplied by the costume. That being said, it's impossible to get her to change into a dirty outfit.

"At least take off this robe, and their attitude may be different......"

“...... Well, I see. ”

Shatila grabbed the shoulders of the robe with both hands, but did not take it off. Although she felt that her attitude was incomprehensible, she didn't deliberately question it.

Shatila's hanging fingers kept stroking the red ornament pinned to her left chest. The touch on her fingers made her smile reassuringly, which in turn gave birth to her motivation.

In the case that her abilities cannot be used, if the dirty appearance of the Pleiades can come in handy, then she is willing to fulfill her wish. Being beaten up by thugs in the alley is also worth it.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me. The most important thing now is to use my hard work to slowly approach the prisoner's place. That's right, use my hard work to catch up and go to the prisoner's base!"

"I know you're glad you're useful, but it's ugly enough to stress it so hard. ”

The pleiades that originally posed as POSE with sound effects suddenly became a little person who showed off his credit.

Only then did he look at it differently and come out of the bag again. Satila had such an expression on her face, and she could only smile bitterly. In the two hours after they met, the two became more and more familiar with each other, but this time the conversation ended very differently.

"I'm sorry, I've reached my limit. ”

With that, Parker leaned weakly against Shatila's neck. The gray fur had a faint glow, and the figure vaguely seemed to disappear.

"How do you disappear like you're going to die? ”

"Because I want to protect my only daughter from a man with a vicious eye, I will hold on until my body is unusable, and when I disappear, I will scatter completely. ”

"How is it so serious. Well, after you disappear, the task of protecting my daughter will be entrusted to me, and I will not let dangerous men approach her. ”

"Then can I make you disappear before I disappear?"

"Not okay!?"

"Just kidding. Parker couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Pleiades hugging his body and retreating. Then Parker winked at Shatila, and she pulled out a glowing green crystal from her chest.

"I'm sorry for pushing yourself, Parker. I'll try my best and get some rest. ”

The green crystals on her palms shone faintly, slightly different from those of gemstones. In Ang's knowledge, crystal is the most suitable name.

Parker walked along Shatila's shoulders to the palm of her hand, and when she reached the crystal, she stretched her little body to hold it, and finally turned back to Shatila and said:

"You know, but I still want to tell you not to be too forceful. If anything, even if you use Oude, you have to call me out. ”

"I understand, I'm not a child, I'll take care of my own affairs. ”

"It's not exactly, after all, my daughter is a bit weird about it. Please, Pleiades. ”

Parker casts a loving father's look at the child at Shatila, who is shy and unhappy at the same time. And the stick of dialogue was suddenly thrown at him, and he slapped his chest hard.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, even though expect my sixth sense. As soon as I judge that there is danger or encounter someone in danger, I will turn back immediately!"

"I don't understand half of what you're saying, but I'm sorry for you. That's it, good night, be careful. ”

One last glance at Shatila, this time Parker's figure completely disappeared from the world.

Parker's tiny body turned into particles of light, disappearing as if he had merged into the world. In addition to the talking cat, it was the first time that I saw something that only existed in the fantasy of elves, and I was moved by emotions that unconsciously surged into my heart.

When she was moved, Shatila stroked the crystal in her palm and carefully took it into her arms.

According to the development of things, what is in it now is something similar to Parker's spirit body, right?

"It's just the two of us...... Don't think anything weird, I use magic. ”

Compared to the Pleiades, Shatila, who seriously believed what Parker had just said, was quite vigilant.

"Hey, I haven't been alone with girls since I was in elementary school. It's amazing, but there's nothing I can do, haven't I seen the abilities I've shown along the way?"

"I always feel helpless, but it is difficult to persuade the horse...... Well, well, let's go. It's just that Parker isn't there, so be more cautious than before. ”

Frightened by the way the Pleiades raised her head and spoke uncompretentiously, Satila tightened her robe on her chest and stepped forward.

"I'll go to the front, and I'll be on guard at the rear. Call me as soon as something happens, and you must not try to solve it on your own. I don't want to hurt you...... Because you are weak. ”

"Those opening lines are so good that I can't hate you......"

If you want to abandon yourself, you don't need to say the words "because you are weak".

didn't hide the truth, sure enough, she was too naïve, so naïve that it melted people.

Urging Shatila, who still wanted to say something, the two began to search again.

Yes, but what has to be done is to find out the inhabitants of the slums, tell them the characteristics of the thief, and ask them if they know each other. This method of earth-based steelmaking has been repeated.

Aang, who is in charge of the interview, has become more skilled and rhythmic as he has accumulated experience.

"You can't be talking about Firut, right? It's a blonde, quick-moving little girl, right?"

The powerful information was obtained almost an hour after only two people were left to find out the news.

The other party was a man who smiled and said "Yo, little brother, how are you doing?"

"If it was Firut, the stolen goods should have been in the stolen goods vault. Hang up the sign and put it in the warehouse, and then the owner of the warehouse, Roma, will take it to other markets to peddle. ”

"What a strange pattern...... Aren't you worried that the owner of the warehouse will run away with the stolen goods?"

"It's because I believe he won't do that that he deserves to be the owner of the swag storehouse. It's just that even if you say that it was something I stole from, he can't pay you back obediently, and he has to rely on negotiation skills to buy it back. ”

After all, it's the one who was stolen who is too idiotic. The man laughed, taking it for granted.

I found out where the loot was, so it shouldn't take long to get there.

Only in its place, other problems have surfaced. That's the reality of the two penniless.

"He told us to buy it back. What should I do? The thing is in the other party's hand, and I feel that I can only listen to the other party's bidding. ”

"Obviously I came to ask for something that was stolen, why did it become a ...... to have to pay?"

After the question tilted in the direction of Ruan's shyness, Shatila suddenly looked nerve-wracked.

Her muttering is the right argument, but it would be naïve to think that the other party is eating it. If you want to solve the problem steadily and surely, it is the best way to listen to the information given by the man, but ......

"I'm only asking now, but does your stolen badge look expensive? Even if you are being offered, it's best to understand the market before negotiating. ”

“...... There's a small gem in the center, and I don't know exactly what it's worth, but I'm sure it won't be a bargain. ”

"Jewels...... That's a problem. ”

Even people who are not knowledgeable know that one gem can be exchanged for a lot of money, which is a very convenient prop. There is no imitation technology in this world to make gem fakes, so if it looks like a gem, it must be a gemstone. In other words, gemstones are naturally a symbol of high prices.

There was no element to be optimistic about, but Pleiades felt that Shatila's words were strange, and she didn't even know how much the badge she held was worth.

Although the badge may have been given to her by someone else, it should not be completely unaware.

"All in all, let's go to the stolen goods warehouse first, maybe you can get a good price by negotiating......"

In the worst-case scenario, there are still means to raise funds, but it will be a major loss for the Pleiades. It's just that he doesn't want Shatila to know until he really needs to use the last resort.

The two of them just argued about how to get the badge back, and walked for about ten minutes.

Swag Vault - Walking up to the building as it was called, the two looked at each other.
