A few kilometers from Ink Winter City, the caravan parted ways, and the chariots powered by the magic stone gradually slowed down.

Ahead was the realm of Ink Winter City, and it had changed so much from when he left a few years ago that it made Kori feel uncomfortable.

"Is this still a river? The wastewater foam on the river is like sheep huddled together, floating on the surface of the water, and there are only dead fish on the shore that no birds eat, or some household garbage......"

Ke Li looked in the direction of Ink Winter City suspiciously, although the spring was cloudy and rainy, he felt that Ink Winter City was shrouded in a dark miasma of filth.

The dark soil was littered with gray and white grains, and the sparse wheat seedlings and weeds that came their way occupied the wasteland, and I didn't know if the poles with blackened bark were dead now.

"It's completely different from the golden autumn wheat waves in the Gem Secret Realm, a few years of industrial development and time have changed everything, even if the supernatural power is the catalyst for the development of the city, this degeneration is too fast, right? Can you enter this place without a gas mask? ”

"The town is also much larger than before, and it seems that the original pollution control plan has not worked, so will the sacrifice of the Tower Road be the main factor?"

I don't know if Kalija, Gid, and the rest of the family still live in this place.

Colley's idea was that it would be better not to be there, to inquire about the situation with the Brave Hunt Church, and to leave when he got the potions or materials.

Such a dull, smelly city is far worse than the cold, pristine and natural Mammoth Horn, and Colley's sincerity is that he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

"Wait for a while at the designated place according to the rules, and they should show up, if there really is anything extraordinary in this place......"

Corrie parked the chariot near a marked tree.

A short time later, two gentlemen in tuxedos, white gloves on their hands, and a ball mask on their faces appeared, holding badges with the emblem of the Moonlight Church: "Who are you, why are you here, to show a token of your identity?" ”

"This is a letter of introduction." Ke Li glanced at the badge and took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to the other party.

The other party rummaged through the letter of introduction, and the eyes under the pearl eyebrows and mask could not read any emotional fluctuations: "Colley Kidman? ”

Colley: "Is there a problem?" ”

The moonlight gentleman looked down at the letter of introduction, and then looked up at Ke Li: "We have received news before, this letter of introduction is true, but it is ......"

"Why does the news say that the Demon Sequence Extraordinary who came to visit is a young man, but you are a silver-haired uncle over fifty years old?"

Ke Li took out the mirror lightly and stroked his hair: "Oh, I did makeup before I came, and it seems that the effect is not bad, and even the eyes of the extraordinary can be deceived." ”

The moonlight gentleman holding the letter inhaled slightly, as if trying to clear his speechless emotions: "Please take off the mask, we need to confirm, if you have some needs for playing, or need a corresponding temporary identity, please also make it clear." ”

Ke Li happily ripped off the camouflage mask, revealing the face of a young man, and put it back on after the other party had finished inspecting it.

"Okay, from now on I need to use a pseudonym, you can call me 'Mr. Kidd', I am the owner of a jewelry store and a gourmet shop, and my goal is the 17th promotion of the demon sequence."

"Seriously, it's not the people from the Brave Hunting Church who came to take over directly, I'm still a little surprised, you guys like to go around the bend so much?"

The moonlight gentleman pinched the mask on his forehead and continued to flip through the letter of introduction from Mammoth Horn: "You are probably the one I have seen...... The most refreshing pretender who changes his face, there is no derogatory connotation. ”

"By the way, in the cities where the two churches are stationed, the arrangement of clergy to take over the supervision is mainly decided by the city decree, in order to avoid the mixing of extraordinary people of unknown origin, which usually has nothing to do with the church sequence."

Thinking back to the situation in Ink Winter City back then, Colley paused for a moment before saying, "You are so convinced that there are no other extraordinary people of unknown origin in the city?" ”

The Moonlight gentleman closed the letter of introduction and returned it to Colley: "Mr. Kidd, the security secrets of the extraordinary realm will not be disclosed to outsiders, if you become a colleague of the Brave Hunting Church, we will talk about it later." ”

"This car of yours looks like it's been heavily modified, and we're going to check its safety to make sure it doesn't cause a big explosion in the city."

Ke Li nodded and agreed: "Yes, but only to the extent of inspiration exploration and perception, don't do anything to my things, I won't be happy to be contaminated with other people's thoughts." ”

The Moonlight Gentleman seemed accustomed to such difficulties, and waited quietly for Colley to open the doors and windows, so that they could release their inspiration fluctuations to detect the threat, and make sure that there were no anomalous objects before signing the pass.

When he took the pass, Ke Li asked casually, "Compared to when I left, Ink Winter City has changed a lot, and the pollution at that time was not so serious. ”

The Moonlight gentleman accosted him fluently: "If you only talk about Ink Winter City, its pollution is indeed getting more and more serious, and because of the work of the labor workers, as well as the problems of union management, there has been no good solution in this regard. ”

"But don't worry, the camping points of the Brave Hunt Church and the Moonlight Church have now been relocated to Red Autumn City. Red Autumn City has higher terrain and better air, and heavily polluting factories have been moved to Ink Winter City, which you can simply understand as ......"

"Because of the difficulty of land planning, a new city was simply built on the edge of Medong City, and the United Twin Cities were re-established."

"Twin Cities ......" Ke Li remembered the club's talk about the rich people's living area, and quickly understood the development map of the city.

Farmers have lost their land, fishermen have lost their rivers, hunters have lost their forest farms, and too many ordinary people have lost their original livelihood resources and need to rely on urban jobs to support their families.

At this time, if the city is overhauled, a considerable number of people will lose their jobs because of the factory renovation, and the corresponding chaos and unemployment will be the management pressure caused by demonstrations.

Cities look at these people as short-sighted, looking only at the present and not looking at the future, so they simply re-enclose a piece of land on the side, build a new, more prosperous city, and create more jobs.

Ke Li looked directly into the eyes of the other party: "Have you done the investigation of family relationships in advance?" ”

Speaking of this, the gentleman of the moonlight simply said: "The ordinary family that has been investigated and contacted by abnormal events was once a merchant family, and later fell because of gambling, and even involved some underworld forces that gambled and lent money with extraordinary strength......"

"In short, if Mr. Kidd is incognito and just wants to contact his family, the Moonlight Church and the Brave Hunting Church will not interfere in your interpersonal relationships, we will just do an investigation."

"If you're looking for someone, in Winter, which is now Downtown, their main living area is Bubble Street, and Mr. Gide is a vagrant, and Caliga is doing ordinary work."

"Other people are not under the jurisdiction of the Twin Cities, we do not have the authority to go to other cities to conduct in-depth investigations, if you want to find other relatives and friends, you may have to ask from your family."

The tone of the non-self-concerned is as frank and cold as moonlight. It is convenient to talk to such a cold person.

"I see." Colley felt inexplicably bored, as if he heard the clashing of dice and chips in the casino again, and remembered the faces of those black-toothed, silver-toothed, and gold-toothed gamblers.

Originally, I wished that they would die with the debt collectors, but I didn't expect these people to still live like cockroaches in Ink Winter City.

The Moonlight Gentleman made a greeting gesture: "Then Mr. Kidd, welcome to the United Twin Cities." ”
