The main city of Hankeyo City is divided into three parts: the commercial area, the aristocratic area, and the civilian area. Other areas, such as schools and entertainment venues, are all mixed in these areas.

Although these areas are not clearly demarcated from each other, each class is quite separated from the areas that do not correspond to their identity. For example, in the civilian area, except for people with special status, such as the Crestor's family, under normal circumstances, few nobles entered. In the same way, merchants will not enter the nobility if they have something to do, unless they have something to do. Of course, due to the special status of merchants, they will always frequently enter and leave the noble district on certain days.

But in any case, there is one area where there will never be people from other areas, because all people feel that it is a shame to enter this area, almost a stain on one person, and this area is the desperate area.

Aaron took Hankyo's map and looked at it several times, but he didn't find any slums in Hankyok's area.

"Could it be that it is not in the city of Hanyok?" Aaron brought another map of the area around Hankyo, but still did not find it.

How could it not be? Aaron held his chin and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

Hankyo is the richest place in Tanya, and Aaron has no doubt at all. But to say that Hankyo is already rich and not to the point of being poor, Aaron hehe. In another world, basically many large cities are inevitably poor, not to mention Hanyok, whose comprehensive strength is only equivalent to that of the medieval cities of the West. And the owner of this body, Aaron, although he is also poor, is from a relatively backward town, and the situation there is different from Hankyo.

"Felia, is the alchemist you mentioned in the ghetto?" Aaron asked, but his eyes were still fixed on the map, as if he didn't mean to lift his head.

Fei Liya, who was cleaning the table, trembled in an instant, and her face turned pale: "...... Young master, that person may not be an alchemist, he just used a test tube. ”

"That's fine, I haven't heard of anyone else using test tubes other than him. I know you may not want to go back, but this one is really important to me, so please help me this time. Aaron looked at Frelia with a serious expression.

Felia opened her mouth, and although her heart was full of helplessness, she looked at Aaron's urgent eyes and finally agreed.

"It's okay for me to take you there, but young master, you must listen to me, otherwise there may be many unexpected things. "Frelia put forward her own conditions.

Aaron nodded, as long as he could take him, everything would be easy to talk about, everything could be discussed.

In the evening, Aaron, after dressing up a little, followed Frelia out of the Duke's Palace. Since Athos went out with Mitulin today, Aaron didn't have to worry about getting the attention of others at this time.

The two men found a carriage on the street, and after a short bargain, the two men got into the carriage. The coachman flicked his whip, and the crisp sound of the whip sounded in the air, and the wheel of the car spun on its own.

"Young master, listen, you must take this with you. Frelia handed Aaron a black cloth bag.

As soon as he left the Duke's Palace, Aaron found that Fei Lia was holding this black cloth bag, and since he had already agreed with Fei Lia before, he would listen to Fei Lia for everything, so he didn't ask too much. Unexpectedly, she gave this cloth bag to herself now.

Aaron took the bag and found that it was hard and a little curvature, but it was very thin and felt like a mask. Sure enough, after opening the cloth bag, Aaron took out a silver half-section mask from inside, tightly exposing his chin. The mask is thin and light, and it should be aluminum.

"This is ......" Aaron looked at Frelia puzzled, not understanding what she was doing with this mask for himself.

"The young master can't go to that place. If it is known that the young master went to that place, the young master's reputation will definitely be affected. Felia's voice was very soft, and after she had spoken, she also looked back at the coachman, and saw that the noise of the street had drowned out her voice, and the nervous look on her face relaxed.

Aaron nodded, feeling that Felia had really put a lot of effort into it. At the same time, I also feel that in this world, rank has imprinted an indelible mark on everyone's body.

After turning a corner, the carriage came to a stop. After paying the coachman a silver coin, Frelia disembarked with Aaron.

"The place is still a little way from the slums. Not... It's about two or three miles away. I was also afraid that the coachman would spread the word that you had gone to the slums, so I had to take a detour. With that, Frelia lifted up her skirt and entered a narrow alley.

Looking at the houses on both sides of the alley, Aaron judged that this should be a civilian area. There is no whitewash on the walls, and you can see the bricks of the house. The house is not very high, tightly only two floors. Most of the roofs are made of bricks and tiles, as in the West, with pointed roofs, and a few have flat roofs.

As the two men went deeper, the road narrowed and the garbage became more and more, and Aaron could only tiptoe and walk where there was no garbage, although there were very few places. When he got to the back, it was in a clean place, Aaron looked up at Freia, who was walking in front, and found that she was just walking on the garbage without hesitation with her skirt on.

Aaron smiled in his heart, I really don't know when I became so clean, I don't feel dirty for a girl, but I start to dislike it. I don't think I was like this at the beginning...... It's better not to think about these superfluous things yet, and if you think about it again, you will lose people.

Aaron learned from Freia, and he didn't look at his feet, and his speed caught up.

After another twenty or thirty meters forward, Felia turned another corner and entered a slightly wider alley. Aaron followed, thinking that the alley he had passed through before was already the dirtiest place since he came to this world, but after entering this alley, he found that he was wrong, it turned out that there was no dirtiest, only dirtier.

As soon as he stepped into this alley, a strong stench filled the air, and Aaron almost vomited the meal he had eaten at noon.

Looking ahead, there are many garbage cans on both sides of the narrow alley against the base of the wall, and at a glance, the length is at least a few tens of meters. Many people were lying in dirty and tattered clothes in garbage cans, picking up the garbage inside. The path, which wasn't already wide, was blocked by garbage cans and these people.

"They are ......" Aaron looked at the men dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.

"They are the poor, and I was one of them, and at this time of the day, I will be like them. In this place that we call 'Treasure Land', we are looking for what we need, clothes, food, furniture, toys...... Everything you need in a slum is taken from here, from an ordinary screw to a large house, and even a baby that has been discarded. Felia's voice was so low that she could barely be heard in the back.

There are two sides to a coin, and so is a city. There is both its radiant side and its ruthless side. Aaron's heart seemed to have been hit several times by an awl, but there was nothing he could do. The power of one person may be able to change some people, but it cannot change the order of this society, even if that person is a king or an emperor.

"Rat, quick, supper, meat ......," I don't know who shouted, and all the poor people dropped what they had picked up and pounced on one place.

"Don't move, it's just mine!"

"Fuck, whoever sees who's!"

"Fart. Whoever caught it was who!"

"Who the robbed me of my bread, deflated calf, give me back that half of the bread!"

"Stepping on my hand, I'm going to get up, I'm not going to grab it. ”

......

The scene, which was already chaotic, was now completely out of control, and the narrow alley was instantly blocked by this group of people.

Aaron frowned, it was hard to imagine that such a scene could be seen in the richest city of Tanya. Aaron's heart felt a chill.

"Young master, don't worry, you will be able to pass it soon. Frelia glanced at Aaron, thinking he was worried about how to get past here, and comforted him.

Aaron smiled slightly: "You...... It's not easy. ”

"I'm happier than them...... I met you. Felia's voice was soft, and the words were more like to herself.

As Felia said, the chaos ended when a teenager held a mouse aloft.

"Cut, it's him again, it's really boring. ”

"Forget it, if you want to lose, there's nothing you can't do. ”

"I really envy him, he has good skills, his skills are good, and more importantly, he is young. If anyone could get out of this place, I guess the first person would be him. ”

These people's words also hit Aaron's eyes on the young man. Probably due to the fact that he had not eaten food for a long time, the boy was very thin and short, probably half a head shorter than Aaron, and his hair had not been cleaned for an unknown amount of time, sticking together in clumps. The clothes on his body were very shabby, and even though he had many patches, he still had a lot of skin exposed. However, since the skin and the clothes on the body are both dark colors, it is impossible to distinguish which is the skin and which is the clothes.

The boy who grabbed the mouse jumped up and quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.

At this time, the others also stood up and continued their unfinished business. Although the alley is still crowded, it is much better than before, at least you can see the road.

"Do you know that boy just now?" finally squeezed out of the crowd, and Aaron finally let out a sigh of relief. A road of less than 50 meters, the two of them walked for sixty or seventy seconds. Feeling haunted by the rancid smell of garbage, Aaron held his breath. The moment you breathe, it feels like you've gone from hell to heaven.

"I don't know. There are tens of thousands of poor people in Hankyo, how can they all know each other? In fact, it is good that everyone else can be familiar except for his own neighbors. ”
