Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Outer City
"That guy ......"
Chen Lun pondered.
He had never heard of Alex in his previous life, and he was probably just an ordinary bard. But when he called out his pseudonym, he always felt that something was wrong.
Poking his head out of the window of the carriage and looking back, there was no Alex on the avenue.
"What's wrong with you?"
Floy felt Chen Lun's emotions and asked out loud.
Chen Lun sat back and shook his head silently, and then added:
"Nothing, just met a strange guy."
Floy didn't ask, so she changed the subject:
"Are you there tomorrow?"
"Hmm...... Tomorrow we will be in Amber City. ”
Chen Lun didn't think much about it anymore, the most urgent task at the moment was to find Dolly in Amber City and obtain the [High-Sequence Flesh Faction Mystic Substance] from him to maintain the pollution balance on Floy's body.
While completing the third ring of the hidden quest, I hope to find [Philip's Legacy].
These are all boosts that can improve his strength.
There are some expectations in my heart, but more of a look forward to the future -
Get strong and get your footing!
Before the 1.0 open beta players arrive, they will be strong enough to reach a certain height. Only in this way can Chen Lun have a sufficient sense of security.
Without the player's unique panel, he doesn't really know if he can come back from the dead. Although he is an NPC, he also retains the ability to take on quests and view item information......
But resurrection, a privilege that only players have, he didn't dare to gamble.
There is only one life.
……
Amber City.
This metropolis in the eastern part of the empire is much more developed and prosperous than the small place on the edge of Emerald Town, and how much more extensive it is.
According to the administrative division of the entire continent, one empire has three dependent kingdoms.
Not counting other small kingdoms that have established themselves as kings, the Trisur Empire is divided into six states in addition to the tourmaline royal city.
There were ten cities under each state.
Each city consisted of the main city, seventy-two cities, and numerous small towns.
Amber City is one of the top 72 cities in the Gem State Fossil City, known for its culture, nature and art.
As the carriage approached Amber City, the main road of the gravel road gradually became a neatly paved stone road. There are also square stone pillars on both sides of the road, as well as black iron street lamps.
Whenever night falls, the lamp-bearers come to light kerosene, and the night is bright.
TapTapTap......
The carriage drove slowly.
In the distance, the tall walls became clearer, and the gates were flanked by dense low-rise bungalows.
"It's the taste of stewed beans......
Floy lifted the curtain, sniffed with her small nose, and whispered.
This flavor is very familiar to Floy, as she used to eat it a lot when she was a child.
Chen Lun sat in the carriage and could see many women wearing bandans and headscarves cooking rice and washing it. They work in front of their small houses, and from time to time a few children play around them and then shuttle from house to house.
"Most of their men go to the city to work during the day, and then go out of the city to return home after work."
Then Walsh, who was driving the carriage, spoke.
Chen Lun is also very aware of this, the civilians who live here are poor people who are not qualified to live in the city permanently.
They are also an integral part of keeping Amber City running.
In the flow of people preparing to enter the city, there are not a few horse-drawn carriages. But more often than not, passers-by with bags on their backs, and vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables in baskets.
Walsh showed the caravan voucher and the entrance fee of 5 copper crowe per person, and several Imperial soldiers waved them away.
Walking through the long passage of the city gate, in the dim environment, Chen Lun could see the notices and wanted notices plastered on the walls. But most of them are yellowed and damaged due to the erosion of time, and because no one has cleaned them, they are constantly overlapping each other, and there is a thick backlog.
Soon, the surrounding noise suddenly came to my ears.
Entering the city is called truly entering Amber City, here and outside are two worlds.
Horse-drawn carriages slowly passing by with bells, newsboys running and selling cigarettes and newspapers, vendors setting up stalls in huge squares, and church monks preaching loudly.
Floy seemed excited, constantly listening to the voices of the new world. At this moment, she showed the image of a girl at this age.
"Your Excellency, your destination has arrived."
Walsh prompted.
The carriage quickly stopped in front of a three-story building that housed the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in Amber City. But this is not the inner city, although there is another branch in the inner city, but Chen Lun asked to stop here.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the inner city, but it's where the powerful and rich are, and the security is quite strict.
With Chen Lun's current status as a black household, plus there is a Floy to take care of, it is difficult to move an inch there.
So he planned to settle down in the outer city first and plan for the time being.
"Thanks, Uncle Walsh."
Chen Lun got out of the carriage first, then turned around and handed it out, but he suddenly remembered that Floy was not really blind.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Floy's little hand stepped up first.
Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
Floy smiled sweetly at him.
"Lord Jack is truly an admirable brother."
Walsh took off his round hat and held out his large hand.
"The entrustment of our Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has been successfully completed, the cooperation is pleasant, and I hope that next time I can share your worries."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Chen Lun stretched out his other hand and shook it with him.
Walsh suddenly felt a little cold in his palm.
When I spread it out, it was two gold pounds that were shining gold.
"Lord Jack, this ......"
"It's a tip for you, one of the guards was injured for my brother and sister, and I'm guilty......
Alright, goodbye, Uncle Walsh. ”
Walsh looked up and saw that the young man had led Miss Floy away.
He couldn't help but sigh that His Excellency Jack was really a generous gentleman.
I haven't even added any money yet.
……
The two walked a long way down the street.
Chen Lun originally wanted to let go of Floy's hand, but he couldn't.
Floy's little hand was so hard that she leaned in and whispered:
"Isn't it striking that a blind girl is not being led?"
"Hmm......? It seems to be too. ”
So Chen Lun no longer dwelled on this, and began to look at the surrounding environment to see where it was suitable to settle down.
Soon he saw a sign in front of a flower shop for rent.
Chen Lun took Floy to stop in front of the sign, and noticed that there was an iron sign embedded in the wall.
Seven Denton Street.
After reading the rental notice for a while, his eyes fell on a woman in the shop through the glass window of the flower shop next to him.
Passing through the pots of flowers, an elderly woman with gray hair was carefully tending to the flowers in the store.
Tuk Tuk ......
The glass was knocked twice.
The lady turned her head and looked kind. Although there are wrinkles on his face, he can still see traces of his former beauty.
When she saw the two young men holding the blind girl, they smiled and waved, and they also made lip shapes:
"Come in, kid."
