Wanghai City is a very interesting place, Zhou Shu just arrived here for a few hours, he felt as if he liked it a little, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity to him, as if he had returned to his own first world, which made people feel happy.

He just walked around the street for a while in his robe, checking if there were any moon-level martial artists in the city who had slipped through the net. Before he could familiarize himself with the smell of the city's air, a hawker-like figure who was more sneaky than him approached him with a stack of cards.

"Sir, you're a foreigner, and you're stuck here and can't go back home, aren't you?" asked the sneaky peddler, his tone and expression natural, as if he had asked this question many times.

Zhou Shu reacted for a second, guessing that this guy should have smelled his own foreigner's breath. And what he said was probably referring to those overseas merchants who were unable to sail back to their hometowns because of the disappearance of the sea.

'Why does this peddler take the initiative to talk to such a person or a foreign businessman?'

Thinking so, Zhou Shu nodded decisively, and politely used his strange-sounding lingua franca.

The peddler seemed to be very conceited about his ability to recognize people, and when he saw another stranger, his face showed some smugness. He felt that he had mastered the knock on the door, and could tell the difference between the local and the outsider perfectly, even if the outsider could not see his face with his hood covered.

"So. What are you looking for me to do?"

When the peddler heard this, he suddenly laughed lewdly, and it was the first time that Zhou Shu had seen someone laugh like this.

"Uncle Merchant, you've been sleepy in our place for a few days, haven't you? ”

As he spoke, he took out a card made of small cardboard in his hand, on which were rough drawn with some girls with whole fruits.

Zhou Shu originally thought that this guy was selling foreign paintings, but he said that the painting was so rough that he couldn't pick it up. He had seen the things drawn by the humanoid cameras in this world, and the sick princess still had the 'wedding photo' that the two of them drew together when they were in the defeated city. The sick princess herself really cherished that painting as the best memory between the two. In fact, Zhou Shu is the same, but as a man, he will not always show such a fleshy feeling.

After the vendor took out the card, he asked the merchant in his eyes to pick a favorite, and said that each card is a girl, and whichever vendor likes will take the customer to the girl's house, the price. Negotiable.

It turned out to be a pimp. I thought it was selling yellow plates. ’

It doesn't matter which one it is. For Zhou Shu, it is an extremely familiar picture of life. He only has gold left on him to spend now, and there are not a few silver coins left, so even if he has the heart to do this kind of thing, he doesn't have the ability to do this. Spending gold is too dangerous and prone to trouble, and there have been many lessons in this regard.

gave the hawker a crescent moon to drive him away, and Master Zhou continued to wander on the road. The peddler got a crescent moon after a few casual words, and was also very happy, and ran to pull down the next man's pimp.

The vendor has been doing a good job lately and has found many customers. The girls also gave him a lot of shares. However, the business is good, and the girls have more requirements, saying that they are looking for some tall and mighty or handsome and dashing.

Zhou Shu was selected just now, and the reason was that he was tall and mighty. His height has now grown to about 1.85 meters, the second development brought about by magic. In fact, this size is not too tall in the body of Europeans, but if he can't stand his muscles, he will become mighty.

As soon as the hawker said goodbye to this one-meter-eighty-five, he turned around and met a handsome and dashing one. So I went to lobby again.

Wanghai City is a city with extremely developed economic activities, although it is now a little lifeless due to the complete cut off of sea transportation. But the economic thinking of the city dwellers is still there.

Economic thinking does not refer to economic minds, who know how to manage money or anything, but people here know how to make money by doing small business, and they also know how to spend money.

Zhou Shu has seen people in some small towns barter all year round, carrying wheat to change when there is no meat or eggs, and brewing their own when there is no wine or oil. This is the kind of thing that squeezes the oil yourself.

In this Wanghai City, you can see that ordinary people will also buy chopping wood, instead of picking up and chopping it themselves, and there are also eleven or twelve-year-old girls selling small pendants made by themselves on the street. Zhou Shu saw that the girl was cute, and he also bought two and grabbed them in his hands to play. It is made of a rope passed through the seeds of a scented acorn-like plant, which is so rough that you can't feel the love that the little girl is pouring into when making zuò, and it is completely done in a hurry, which makes people sad.

In this city, food is expensive, but chops and trinkets are very, very cheap. This means that the labor in the city is very cheap, and it takes a little effort to chop wood, and the trinkets do not need to be costly, just take the time to do it.

He had forgotten to ask the pimping girls what the price was, it must not be very high.

The city is dying, at least commerce. The disappearance of trade by sea has left material scarcity and jobs reduced, and investment in production has naturally decreased. Judging from the price of helpers, it seems that job opportunities are already very difficult to find. It is clear that the city is in the midst of deflation, just like the first world. The next thing to face is the stagnation of production, and the bad days are coming.

Due to his university major, Mr. Zhou inevitably has to read some books on economic history, after all, modern economics originated in Europe. He only understands some basic economic principles of the classical school, but it is enough to explain what is currently happening in Wanghai City.

Looking at those aristocratic young men wearing brocade clothes and riding high-headed horses swaggering through the city, a sense of sadness rose spontaneously. These grasshoppers won't be able to stumble for long.

Actually, the eldest lady doesn't have to play any tricks. Without the sea, without trade, the North Sea will struggle to survive, and there will never be a real threat. It would be even less of a problem if they opened up their land and road trade and became dependent on other regions. ’

Thinking so, he unconsciously slipped to the edge of the temple, and then very unfortunately, he met two beautiful girls......

"It's Mr. Zhou Shu's robe!"

Zhou Shu's robe was recognized blue.

"Cover your face and you'll recognize it. Zhou Shu said hello to Lan Hecai with a smile.

It's a little embarrassing to reunite immediately after saying goodbye, but it can't be helped, this is life.

Lan was not embarrassed, he looked quite happy, "In the two days I have been with you, I have always envied your robe." ”

Miss Cai doesn't have the joy of Lan. After seeing Zhou Shu, she first wondered if this guy had been following her. She is used to thinking about people in the bad way, and she herself knows that this is a bad problem, but she can't change it if she can't restrain herself.

"Why did you go?" Cai asked, "Have you been hanging out on the streets until now?"

Zhou Shu really kept hanging around, and he was a little embarrassed to say it, so he pretended to do some private things mysteriously.

As soon as the words fell. A figure in the crowd on the street suddenly rushed out, and it seemed that someone should have pushed him to sit down.

Zhou Shu hurriedly escorted the two girls and retreated, not letting this person collide with them. As a result, the man fell to the ground and screamed, and a bunch of small cards in his hand fell to the ground.

A handsome-looking man in the crowd pointed angrily at the man who was sitting on the ground and scolded, "You despicable pimp, I'll cut you down if you appear in front of me again!"

That sneaky-looking guy is the guy who just evoked a hint of nostalgia for Zhou Shu, and he seems to be often beaten and scolded at work, and he doesn't care at all. When I got up and saw Zhou Shu, I remembered that this guy treated him very kindly just now. I didn't take care of the business and gave it to the consumer, so I respectfully called the 'merchant', "Thank you for the tip just now." After that, he packed up his card and left.

Lan Hecai looked at Zhou Shu, who was so embarrassed, with disappointed eyes. The three of them wanted to say something, Zhou Shu wanted to defend himself, Lan wanted to listen to his defense and was worried that Cai was demolishing the stage in a gang, Cai really wanted to say a few cool words, and felt that it was not good to do so.

As a result, the three of them have been standing there awkwardly and giggling, and the situation is weird.

Aya and Blue want to go to the temple. Report to the high priest here the prophecy of the new saintess of Haewon Castle. They told Zhou Shu about it, and they finally interrupted what they had just done.

Zhou Shu knew that his image was completely gone. But there is no way, who makes himself owe a tip to make that person remember himself.

Hearing that the two of them were going to the temple, Zhou Shu was very unwilling. "That kind of place is dangerous, and I don't think the temple wants the citizens to hear that prophecy of disaster, so you'd better not go. ”

"Why?" the second daughter asked.

"The reason is actually quite simple. After all, it is inevitable that the ruling class of the temple wants social stability. At this time, the two of you ran out to disturb the order of the city, inciting the citizens to bewitch the public, and you are quite beautiful, be careful of being caught by them. ”

For the words of Zhou Shu. Cai and Lan only heard him praise himself for his beauty, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.

The original intention of religion is good, but it is human beings who interpret doctrines, and believers are also human beings, so it is inevitable that something bad will appear. No matter what happens, as long as someone participates in it, there will be 'evil' born, which is also repeatedly emphasized in the theory of sexual evil.

Zhou Shu didn't care much when he saw that his words didn't work, he wasn't a nanny, and Cai and Lan weren't children, they should be able to protect themselves. So the three of them said goodbye again, and the two girls entered the temple and asked to meet the priest—

In Haiyuan City, Ashler has been hiding at Kernan's house for most of the week, and has no intention of leaving. The new saintess has not been found, so Kernan's sister may work for another two years, after all, she has not yet handed over the identity of the saint, and in principle has always been the only saint in the North Sea region, and has never changed.

"It will take two years for you to see your sister, and you will not be sad that your relatives are alive but you can't see each other?"

Kellnan's dilapidated house already had some feminine decorations at this time, which Ashler had bought at the begging of its owner. Compared to before, the atmosphere of life here is a little stronger.

Ashel climbed on the bed and threw a sharp question to Kernan, who was sitting boredly in her chair.

"My sister...... the pretty boy pondered for a moment, then shook his head to show that he was not sad. "My house is broken like this, and it is a sin to live here. I think it's good that she can enjoy the blessings of the temple for another two years, and it's okay not to see each other. ”

Ashel feared that Kernan blamed her runaway saint for not being able to see his sister, and had been worrying about it for days. I finally mustered up the courage to ask just now, and I got the answer she wanted.

"I don't feel like living in this home is a sin. Ashler sat up straight from the bed and looked at him with a ** expression. "If it were me, I would like to live in this home forever. ”

Confession, this is the umpteenth confession of Ashler in the past few days. No matter how stupid Kyernan is, he would have understood. Knowing that this woman is interesting to herself. He would love to try his hand at dating as boyfriend and girlfriend. Before he did it, he probably didn't think about it because of his friends, how could he be friends with the queen of Dongcheng District. Now Ashler is already very popular in Xicheng District, so there is no need to worry about this.

At this moment, Kernan has no scruples, and he is also curious about Ash'er's body. The two have slept together for the past few days. The absence of an accident is enough to prove the ignorance of the two, and it is impossible to say that there is no spark at all.

"I'm ......" Kellnan felt that he should respond today, at least to make a clear statement for Ash'er. So he held back for a long time, and finally said, "If you want, you can stay forever." ”

Ashler stayed on the outskirts of the city for a long time, and no follow-up guards came to search here, which means that the searchers did not pay attention to this place.

You must know that Ashel's two bodyguards know what happened between her and Kernan. Today's situation proves that the two did not leak secrets, and they were very professional in helping Ai Shier to cover.

"I'll stay forever. The little girl who received the reply was sweet in her heart and wanted to pounce on the beautiful boy in front of her, but at this time there was a series of knocks on the door, and Kellnan got up from her chair and went to open the door.

There were a lot of people coming to Kyrnan these two days. He had been hanging out during the day, and only returned to his home when he was sleeping. Since Ashler was here, he hadn't been out much in the past few days, so many people came to visit him.

Most of these people don't understand what a strange ritual it is to knock on the door. They only know how to shout outside the fence. The only guy who will knock honestly on the door is the guy who had his two fingers cut off before.

About Ashler's disappearance. The bad boys in Xicheng District have more or less clues in their hearts, and a small number of them vaguely guess that their boss may have taken her in, and the evidence is that the boss has not been out of the house for many days.

Not all bad boys are as ignorant as Kernan, they don't care about the big bounties issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and they don't try to find Ash'er and are not prepared to provide clues. They don't treat money like dung so much. The main thing is that they know that if they report it as a homeless child, even if the reward is issued, they will be killed and robbed of the money by the guards who are watching from the side.

Kernan had also realized that his behavior was unusual, and he was a little worried that he would be suspicious. So I pretended to be sick before and excused myself not to go out. He can actually go out, although Ai Shi'er is not at ease at home alone, but she will not always guard her. He chose to pretend to be sick when he subjectively wanted to stay at home with Ash.

It's just that the bad boy in Nancheng District can't always be without a boss, and the people who came to him today brought some bad news.

"Something's wrong, Kellnan. There are a few of our men who attack outsiders, but ......"

Ran into a warrior.

Kernan was horrified when he heard the news, "Martial artists from outside?!" he thought of the guy named Zhou Shu, who had disappeared after making trouble in the city and leaving him with a big trouble.

Kelnan's mind is easy to see through, and the person who came said that he was not an outsider like Zhou Shu, and he listened to the accent like he came from the Eagle Seeing area.

"That's ......" Kellnan asked about his friend's injuries, and the result was also miserable, but none of the people who committed the murder were injured, all of them died, and everyone who watched the excitement survived. He is now very sure that after Zhou Shu defeated him, not only did he not teach himself a lesson, but helped himself, this does not mean that everyone outside is good-tempered, he is just the only one who is good-tempered.

There is nothing to complain about if you attack outsiders and be killed. Kellnan was in a better mood than he was sure he didn't know the hapless dead. He decided to find out who these guys from the Takami area were, and it wasn't a good sign that there were foreign warriors in the chaos of Kaihara Castle.

There were only two people coming, and it was only three punches and two kicks to deal with the young man who wanted to rob with a knife, and it was impossible to distinguish his combat effectiveness from this.

Kernan once asked Zhou Shu's martial arts level, but he was fooled by the beating. He wasn't sure how an ordinary person like himself could deal with two martial artists at the same time, even if it was just a low-level one. If he was fighting alone, with his previous experience in fighting with Ash'er's guards, he felt that it should still be no problem, after all, the enhancement moves had not been used up until now.

After saying hello to Ashel in the house, Kellnan followed his friend out the door. He was only going to test it, and he didn't want to take any chances. He felt that his courage seemed to be much smaller, and the reason was unknown.

As a land snake, it is not difficult to find an outsider. I asked the orphans on the street a little, although I hadn't determined the specific location of the two people, but I knew where they went.

These people behaved strangely, and they walked around the southern city several times and asked people on the street about something. Bold bad boys approached and overheard the words of these people, and it seemed, as if, they had come for the dragon prophesied by the new saint. They want to slay dragons...... (To be continued......)

ps: It's a new book again, we're really idle......
