This is the paradise of the criminals, this is the paradise of sin, and this is the city of innocence.

The City of Innocence is located in the northeast of the Neutral Land, relatively close to the Farlar Empire, and is the last of the three major cities in the Neutral Land, with a total population of 200,000. Although there are 200,000 people, this is only the registered population, in fact, including the floating population, this number often reaches 300,000 or even higher. A small part of these floating population are criminals who belong to the city of innocence, who have been wandering around various countries and cities for many years to carry out criminal activities, and only return to the city of innocence for a while to have fun. And many more people are aristocrats and wealthy people from all over the world, and they often come here to spend money.

People who have never been to the City of Innocence will always imagine that it is a hell on earth, full of blood and carnage, and the inhabitants of it are accompanied by death all day long, and they can lose their lives and everything at any time, so people wonder why anyone would want to live here. However, only those who have actually been to the City of Sin once can understand the charm of this city full of sin.

Here are the best wines, the most delicious food, the most bewitching beauties, the most exciting death fights, the most reliable assassins, and the most fair gambles. Here in the black market, you may see stolen goods from all over the world, and in the dark alleys here, you may find all kinds of forbidden techniques. The thieves' union is controlled here, and everything belongs to the thieves' union, but the managers here are criminal groups of different sizes. These groups make a lot of money by operating various entertainment venues, and through this money they fight each other for a larger area of management.

"Eldest sister, are you talking about an introduction to the City of Innocence?" Vivien asked suspiciously, "Haven't you never been here, why do you know so clearly?"

"A trip to the City of Innocence. Catherine folded a few pieces of paper full of words in her hand and put them back in her pocket: "Pannis wrote it for us, it can be regarded as a detailed introduction here." ”

The two girls are now standing outside the gates of the City of Innocence, looking at the huge city in front of them in a daze.

Contrary to the girls' expectations, the city in front of them is completely different from what they imagined. There are no dark alleys, no low buildings, no poor and numb hungry people, just from the outside. It's a very sunny and beautiful city.

The total area of the main body of the city is about 100 square kilometers, and the entire main urban area is surrounded by a circle of low white stone walls, which have no defensive ability and only play a role of isolation. On a low fence. There are a lot of dead yellow vines climbing, and you can imagine the beautiful scenery when the green climbs all over the fence every spring. In addition to the main urban area, the city surrounds the main part of the city, and also radiates thirty or forty small manors in all directions in a surrounding shape. The estates have their own characteristics, some of which are green even in winter, with many small herbivores growing on their lawns, and some of which are located close to a tributary of the Bayergas River, which draws water from the river to form a small man-made lake, and the estate is located in the middle of the lake. In general, each manor has different characteristics, which not only expands the coverage area of the city several times, but also makes the whole city look full of different flavors.

To be exact, the city also has no gates. The main part of the city is in the middle of the wall. Corresponding to the four main roads that communicate with the outside world, there are four gaps respectively, on both sides of the gap are two stone pillars carved with various patterns, and the top of the stone pillars is an arched stone beam, forming a stone arch, the stone arches are also covered with vines, which will attract the attention of people in spring, summer and autumn every year.

Walking through the stone arches and entering the City of Innocence, the first thing you see is the spacious city avenue. The layout of the City of Innocence is very interesting, with the main part being square. In the middle, it is divided into 16 blocks by six main roads with three horizontal and three vertical roads, and each block is separated by streets and alleys, although it is easy to get lost in some blocks with staggered internal roads. But at least it's hard to make a mistake between blocks.

As soon as the two girls walked into the city of innocence side by side, seven strong men suddenly jumped out from the side of the road on both sides and surrounded the two. But the seven people who gathered around didn't talk to the two at all, but confronted each other for a moment. Three of them stood together, not speaking, and rolled up their sleeves with a fierce face in front of the other four, with strange tattoos on the skin under the sleeves. See tattoos. The other four spat in a huff and turned away. At this time, the three strong men looked at each other again, and two of them consciously retreated, leaving only a bald strong man with bulging muscles standing in front of the two young girls.

After the rest of the people walked away, the expression of the strong man who had just looked murderous changed instantly, showed a flattering smile, rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "Two beautiful ladies, look at the two of you should be the first time to come to our city of innocence." I'm Swain from the Camel Beast Group, and I specialize in taking on the business of car use for visitors to the City of Innocence, and I only need 30 gold coins a day, and I can enjoy a 22-hour charter and tour guide service that will not only take you to any corner of the city, but also introduce you to the distribution of power and customs and taboos in every block and every street. If you hire me, no matter where you are going, no matter what time you use the car, as long as you are within three kilometers of the last time you got off the bus, activate this resonance crystal, I will definitely appear within ten minutes, even if you are far away from the location where you last got off, as long as you say to the nearby shop owner that your special driver is Swain of the camel beast group, at most thirty minutes, I will definitely arrive to serve you. Of course, you can also opt for a temporary rental car that costs one gold coin per three kilometres, which is more suitable if you are staying for a short period of time or if you rarely go out and about during your time in the city. I wonder what kind of business two beautiful ladies are interested in?"

Swain speaks very quickly but articulately, and the long list of professional-sounding business introductions and respectful gestures that are different from his appearance are enough to make every strange visitor have a good impression of him. Catherine took out Pannis's Innocence City travel brochure and looked at it, and asked with interest, "What if I don't want to hire you because of both?"

"Absolutely. Swain's expression remained unchanged, and he still remained respectful and said, "Whether or not to hire me is entirely up to you, and I will not have any opinion." However, the biggest advantage of hiring me is that it can save you a lot of trouble, after all, this is a city of innocence, even if you are strong, it is better to have as little trouble as possible. ”

"Oh, trouble?" said Catherine, with a smirk, "like, what's the trouble?"

"It's unpredictable, but there will be somewhat. Swain didn't say much about what the trouble was, but rather cleverly turned to the topic of what could be avoided, a technique that would prevent the listener from feeling threatened, and more like a kind suggestion: "There is now a conventional rule in the City of Innocence that the major organizations will not infringe on their guests in the territory of other large organizations. We are a large organization in charge of passenger transportation, and our territory is the city road, as long as you hire me, I will give you my marker, and even if you go out for a walk on your own, you will not be harassed by any organized residents. Of course, there may be some scattered thieves, liars and other small people who are unruly, but that kind of little people do not have much ability, as long as you pay attention to it, it can be completely avoided. Even if you are really harmed at that time, as long as you notify me, our organization will do our best to recover your losses, and we will try our best to compensate you if we can't recover. That's the biggest benefit of hiring us. Of course, if you want to save money, you can choose to walk or hire unorganized odd drivers like the four people who just ran away, but they can't provide these advantages, at least some of them. ”

"You're being honest. Catherine listened and compared the manual in her hand, waiting for Swain to finish before looking up and smiling, "It's hard for me to believe this is the city of innocence." ”

"Although this is a city of innocence, and although we treat our competitors with cruelty and cunning, we are absolutely honest with our customers. Sven said: "Hundreds of years of experience tell us that only in this way can we obtain a large number of gains in the long run, and the use of other means may be able to gain a moment, but in the long run, the losses are far greater than the gains." ”

"Good awareness, good habits. Catherine nodded and said, "I'm satisfied, if I hire you, how much will it cost a day?"

"Thirty gold coins. Sven had a respectful and somewhat flattering smile on his face: "You only need thirty gold coins a day, which may be very expensive compared to other cities, but if you stay here for a few days, everything here is very expensive, and thirty gold coins a day for a chartered car is considered very cheap." ”

"By the way, I forgot to mention that I came here at the invitation of the Shadow Hand, and the two of them personally invited us to do something, and when we find a place to live, I will trouble you to help us go and leave a message for the two of them in the office of the Shadow Hand. Catherine smiled and put away the travel brochure again, and winked strangely, "How much did you just say?" ”

The professional smile on Sven's face froze, quickly turned into a wry smile, and he sighed and said, "I just said that I only need fifteen gold coins a day. ”

"Very good, deal. Catherine smiled and said, "Before I inform you, you are the exclusive master of the two of us, and now we need you to drive us around the characteristic places in the city, find a place to stay, and then help us to pass the word." ”

"No problem. Swain collected the regret in his heart for making less fifteen gold coins a day, and regained his spirits and said, "Two ladies, please get in the car, I promise you will not be disappointed."
