Chapter 36: Tsukimibo
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Luo, are you listening? β
ββ¦β¦ Roy ......"
"Hey, little ghost!"
Bob's thunderous voice roared abruptly as he slammed the table.
Roy, who was sitting opposite, trembled slightly.
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted."
Roy put down the pen and paper in his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.
A few days ago, he and Elena went to the dungeon to search for clues, but when he came back to his senses, he found that he had returned home before he knew it.
He tried his best to remember what had happened in the dungeon.
But the head is like a mess of paste, as long as it is about the memory of the dungeon, it is all ambiguous.
Subconsciously, a voice seemed to be constantly warning him:
Don't go to the dungeon anymore, don't think about the dungeon anymore.
He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
It upset him.
But the only thing that can be sure is that the problem shows that he is so close to the truth of the incident that someone has done something to him.
Qin Liu had told him to let it go, and this was her gift to Roy.
In fact, he really didn't have to risk his life, otherwise the mastermind behind the scenes might not have done anything as simple as using his hands and feet.
Although Qin Liu is a crazy woman, she will do what she says, at least she can guarantee that he will not be assassinated.
And Roy is not frightened, let alone a half-person, since he decided to intervene in the first place, he will definitely continue to investigate.
It's just that he has now lost the direction of investigating the case, and he has come to the funeral home every day for the past few days, but he has never found any valuable clues.
"Seeing that your face is so bad, it can't be that you were scolded by the boss of the newspaper, right?"
Bob put a cup of hot tea in front of Roy, "I'm relieved to see that your lords in the upper city are also having a bad time." β
Roy shook his head with a wry smile and picked up his teacup.
"Thank you for your concern."
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the hot tea enters the mouth, turning into a warm current that goes straight to the internal organs, making him feel a little better.
Unlike when they first met, Bob's attitude towards him has improved a lot after learning that Roy has done nothing wrong with Elena these days.
Now Roy also knows that Bob is just straightforward, plus his education level is relatively low, and there is no malice in pointing at his nose at the beginning.
"I heard that in the past few days when I was away, every time you came to visit the door, you paid my dad a sum of money, the consultation fee? It's nothing to ask you for a cup of tea. β
Bob scratched his head and sat back down in front of Roy, "I just came back from a commission, and I'm on vacation today, if there's anything you want to ask, you can just ask." β
He actually didn't have a cold interest in the lord of Uptown, and he didn't plan to waste his precious vacation time for Roy.
Fang was pestered by Roy and asked some questions, for the sake of the consultation fee, he wanted to deal with a few words and leave.
But after a short period of contact, he found that the young man did not have a sense of superiority over the people of the lower city when talking to him, as the usual uptown lord did.
So I was more curious about him, and sat down to have a good chat with him.
"Well, where did you just talk about?"
Roy picked up the pen and paper again and made an interview.
Bob opens the conversation:
"Talking about the recent mercenary guild, there is a rookie mercenary, he is actually from Shangcheng District, you say it's not strange, the lord of Shangcheng District doesn't stay under the world tree to enjoy the shade, why are you running here to be a mercenary, I'm afraid I can't get along in Shangcheng District!"
"Oh?" Roy followed his words, "And then?" β
"Hey, that person has a stinky temper unique to the lord of Shangcheng City, I heard that on the first day he came to the Mercenary Guild, he beat several old mercenaries in the hall, it's too arrogant!"
"Why did he beat people?"
"Well, it looks like those old mercenaries are taunting him."
"Isn't that normal for beating people?"
"yes......"
Bob tilted his head, "But I just don't like him, that blonde hair is unpleasant to look at, and his eyes are very dark, no, I have to find a chance to beat him, even if the head dragon comes to this territory, I have to be obedient!" β
Why does blonde hair make people look unpleasant, and apologize to blondes all over the world!
Roy sighed helplessly, the logic of this passage seemed a little fragmented.
"You seem to have a deep prejudice against the people of Uptown." He asked, "What happened?" β
"Most of the people in Downtown have a preconception about Uptown, because they have taken the resources of the World Tree for themselves and forced us to go to the wilderness to make a living!"
Bob snorted, "And the people in the dungeon have more prejudices about Uptown!" The lord of Shangcheng only cares about his own glory and wealth, and he doesn't care about their life or death!
"Can you imagine? Uptown has a hearty meal to eat every day, and beneath their feet, the dungeon's inhabitants are still living on a daily handout!
"The chaotic and dirty environment of the dungeon is not for people to stay in at all, and the best way for the people of the dungeon to live a good life is to leave the dungeon and become a mercenary in the lower city.
"Because the mercenary status is a temporary pass, with this pass, even if you don't have a residence certificate in the lower city, you can freely enter and exit the dungeon and the lower city. Otherwise, you won't even be able to get out, and you will have to stay underground for the rest of your life!
"Most of the brothers in my mercenary group are from the dungeon, every time I chat with them, I feel that they are really miserable, and those lords in the upper city are really damned!"
Finally, he glared at Roy indignantly.
Roy: "??? β
Look what I'm doing!
However, from Bob's words, it can be found that he has a long-standing grudge against Uptown, so much so that he vented this anger on all the people from Uptown.
It's not cool to look at the blonde or something, it's just an excuse.
"You're okay, you're okay, you're quite generous, unlike those lords in the upper city. They are rich, but they are also very picky. β
Bob yawned, "Well, is this information useful to you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Roy tilted his head, "Perhaps?" β
These days, no clues about the case have been found, and these strange grievances and hatreds have been learned a lot.
That's when it happened.
With a "bang", the door was suddenly pushed open.
An inch-headed young man rushed into the house and yelled at Bob: "The people from the Tsukimifang are coming, hurry up and copy the guy back to save the scene!" β
He was dressed in leather armor, with a black cloth tied to his right arm, a large knife on his back, a hideous scar on his left cheek that extended to his neck, and his eyes were very fierce, with a fierce appearance that no one should disturb.
Looks like Bob's teammate.
"And this? Damn it, fuck him! β
Bob didn't say a word, got up directly, picked up the mace on the side, and didn't say hello.
In a hurry, he ran out of the house with the young man.
Roy froze in place, the word that the young man had just said kept echoing in his mindβ
Tsukimibo?
Seems to have heard this word somewhere!
Roy stood up suddenly, but felt his head dizzy and sat back.
What are you going to do with the between the mercenaries, Roy, you just have to stay here.
You just didn't hear anything.
You just have to stay here and do nothing......
Stay here......
Over here......
Over here......
"Blanch!"
"Fuck you!"
"Move for Lao Tzu!"
Roy's eyes were red, he slapped himself hard, gritted his teeth and stood up, chasing in Bob's direction.
He felt like he had grasped some crucial clue.
You can't go wrong!
