Get out of the alleyway.

Jiang Ge went straight in a certain direction.

After walking for a while, it seems that I have crossed a certain dividing line.

The old but still orderly buildings in the civilian area suddenly changed, becoming low, cramped and dilapidated.

The air smells of damp decay.

Garbage and excrement scattered on the ground are the source of the foul smell.

This is the slum.

It is the place where Jiang Ge was born.

However, he has no nostalgia for this place, let alone a good feeling.

Jiang Ge moved forward while looking for a place to settle between the many excrements.

If it's not a medicine picker, it's here.

He didn't want to come here at all.

There were people in ragged clothes sitting on both sides of the road.

There was numbness in his eyes.

Jiang Ge had no expression on his face, lowered his head, and walked past these people.

The slum is a place that cannot be covered by the laws of Ryugu Castle.

Don't look at these people like this, if you dare to show a little more pity and kindness.

The next day, the corpse may appear somewhere in the sewers of Ryugu Castle.

If you look closely, you may also find that most of the parts on the corpse are missing.

Follow the route in the memory of the herb picker.

Walking through a few lanes, I saw that the place where the medicine pickers lived was close in front of me.

Jiang Ge's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Footsteps?

He slowed down and approached carefully.

I saw that around the corner ahead, next to the medicine picker's residence, three figures were wandering sneakily, looking inward.

All three of them have curly hair, white skin, and their facial features are very different from those of the first mountain and sea.

"The alien race of the second mountain and sea? Herb pickers targeted by them? Jiang Ge recognized the identities of these people.

With the Empire's attack on the second mountain and sea.

There are also many aliens over there who have been brought back to the first mountain and sea as slaves.

There was even a time when the wealthy aristocracy took pride in owning an alien slave.

Later the empire enacted the Abolition Act.

Although there are policies at the top, there are countermeasures at the bottom.

Some slaves changed their names and became hired laborers, still serving their original owners.

But it is true that many aliens have been freed.

Of course, this freedom may not be a good thing.

Even if these aliens were free, it would be impossible for them to be treated as commoners in the Empire under normal circumstances.

They are only allowed to live in the slums.

No identity, no status.

You can only go to the docks outside Ryugu Castle and work as coolies in the factory.

However, these aliens are not as peaceful as they seem.

After a long time, these people actually formed a group and formed an alien organization called the [Light Chaser Society].

In the name of the outside world, it is to unite the same clan and survive better.

In fact, he is doing some shady things behind his back.

The tail does not come off.

In interracial matters, Jiang Ge didn't want to get involved too much.

But the three men seemed to have their sights set on the herb picker's residence.

"Dive in first, take the things away, and hopefully don't get out of here."

Jiang Ge judged the situation and made a decision.

The residence of the medicine picker is a dilapidated courtyard.

Jiang Ge deftly climbed over the wall from another floor of the courtyard and entered the courtyard.

This is a skill that herb pickers master when they climb over the mountains and forests.

Now it has been used by Jiang Ge.

The results were surprisingly good.

However, the first time he used it, Jiang Ge could not completely suppress the sound.

Click.

There was a sound of landing.

Confusion and whispers were heard outside the door.

Fortunately, the three of them outside seemed to be very jealous of the medicine pickers.

After all, I didn't dare to break in to check the situation.

Jiang Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly come to the door of the medicine collection room.

First, according to memory, several vicious traps were dismantled.

Only then did he push the door in.

The furnishings in the room are very simple.

A table and chairs, a bed.

There are bottles and jars on the table.

And on the bed, there was a middle-aged yin owl with his eyes closed.

It is the herb picker who has become a vegetative person.

Jiang Ge looked at him curiously, and then lost interest.

His eyes fell on the one-meter-long medicine hoe he held in his hand.

His eyes lit up.

It's the medicine hoe!

Jiang Ge immediately stepped forward and wanted to take the medicine hoe from the medicine picker.

I didn't expect to grasp it quite tightly, and I didn't move it after pulling it.

Pull hard again, and start with the medicine hoe.

It weighs about five or six pounds.

But it looks bleak.

It's like it's about to decay.

Jiang Ge thought for a moment and took out the bronze mirror from his chest.

The mind moved slightly, and the spirituality of the medicine hoe sealed in the mirror was released and fell on the medicine hoe.

I saw a flash of spiritual light.

The whole hoe suddenly became different.

The yellowed wooden handle gives a feeling of warmth like jade to the touch.

The hoe at the tail looks mottled with rust and blood, but it is actually extremely sharp.

There is also the position of the hoe head, which is designed in the shape of a triangle with a sharp edge, which is particularly hideous.

"Good stuff! It's definitely an artifact for canning food! ”

Jiang Ge wielded the medicine hoe, and the set of hoe insights from the medicine pickers flowed in his heart.

Soon the use of the medicine hoe became handy.

The medicine hoe was waving, whirring.

I am reluctant to let go after a long time.

I can't help but want to open a scoop and try my hand.

【Medicine hoe:】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Rank: Apprentice]

[A secret treasure created by a clever blacksmith and transformed by an invisible technique. Take medicine to defend yourself. It is an artifact that every aspiring herb picker wants to have. 】

[Because of its stealth properties, it can harm some invisible things.] 】

[At the same time, because it is stained with too much blood, it has a strong bloody evil aura, and using too much of it may make people become belligerent and murderous.] 】

[Listen to this humming, it's a ...... of thirsting for blood]

[Interpret it, you may be able to get some special knowledge, as well as the method of casting the medicine hoe.] 】

"Secret treasures refer to artifacts and treasures that are made with invisible techniques and have the characteristics of 'secret', often with incredible powers."

Jiang Ge stroked the medicine hoe.

According to the herb picker, the bronze sealed mirror he made.

It's also a secret treasure, and it's not low-grade.

Reached the Starter level.

And the medicine hoe in his hand is still a little short of the beginner level, but it is quite precious.

It can even hurt the invisible, which is very useful to him.

"However, you have a broken medicine hoe and crave the blood of a fart......" Jiang Ge complained powerlessly.

"And, when did the research trough even be able to decipher a hoe?"

Jiang Ge suddenly felt that something was strange.

Of course, even the soul can be turned into a book to be interpreted.

If you use a hoe, it doesn't seem impossible.

The soul is called the 'Book of Souls', so should the hoe be called the 'Book of the Hoe'?

"As for interpretation...... Use it first, and then interpret it when you don't need it later. ”

He now urgently needs to improve his combat power.

Even if you interpret the medicine hoe, you can know how to make it.

But for a while, can he still make a new hoe as it is?

Putting the medicine hoe aside, Jiang Ge scavenged for other things.
