A few minutes after the flight, the tall buildings that filled the field of vision in front of the summer night suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there are a large number of low-rise buildings below, which are disorganized and dilapidated in appearance, some of which are even half collapsed, but there are still traces of inhabitation in the remaining half.

Looking into the distance on a summer night, the ruined complex stretched far into the distance, and at the end of the view, several huge machines that looked like dock cranes could be faintly seen, and the hexagonal dome was bent down to meet the horizon.

"Here?" Summer Night turned her head and asked Liliane.

"Sister Summer Night, this is Xiacheng District." Lillian replied, "The store we're going to next is in Downtown. ”

"Here...... Have a store? ”

Seeing Xia Ye's puzzled expression, Lilian smiled lightly and said, "Let's go down, Sister Xia Ye will know when the time comes." ”

The two swooped down, and in seconds they were headlong between the oddly shaped buildings. Immediately afterward, she saw Lillian land directly on the street, so she landed with her, putting away her broomstick.

Looking around, it was only then that the summer night realized that the buildings that looked low in the sky just now were not short at all, and the buildings with no plan to speak of were extending crookedly upward, with seven or eight floors of short and dozens of floors of high.

It's messy and shabby, but it's by no means life-threatening. There are all kinds of billboards, large and small, scattered in each building; The already narrow streets are crowded with vendors on both sides, making them narrower, and pedestrians crowding in the center, moving forward on foot.

Speaking of which, Summer Night was no stranger to this environment, she had been to similar places before the crossing, and there were more than one place.

"Why aren't there so many people flying in the sky?" Summer Night asked, pointing to the top of her head.

"For three reasons." Lillian said as she weaved through the crowd with Summer Night.

"First of all, of course, because brooms are very expensive, and it takes magic to fly, but if you choose to walk, you can save a lot of money, and for the residents of the lower city, who are mostly strapped for the cup, it is of course more important to save magic than fast and convenient.

"In addition, Sister Xia Ye, look at the top of our heads, because no one manages it, all kinds of billboards have been hung like this, if you want to fly, it's hard to guarantee that you will hit one, so it's better not to fly."

Summer Night imagined a flying witch crashing into a large humanoid hole in a billboard, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Finally, there's another reason why flying downtown is sometimes another risk...... Ah, we're almost there, not far ahead. Lillian said, pointing to a low building in front of her.

At this time, the two of them had already walked into an alley, and there was no other person in the alley, which was much quieter than the street just now.

"There's another risk, and that's ......," Lillian said from what she had just said.

Boom ——!!!

But as soon as she got up, her voice was interrupted by a loud bang.

The sound came from behind, and Summer Night looked back in surprise to see a witch flying out of a building behind the side - not flying on a broomstick, but being hit by a huge shockwave, and her body was knocked into the air along with countless fragments of the walls.

Her clothes were in tatters, and her witch hat was gone, revealing her messy brown curls. Despite her awkward appearance, the witch miraculously remained unharmed. She twisted in mid-air, unfolded her broomstick, and flew in the direction of Summer Night and Lillian.

Summer Night raised an eyebrow, one hand blocking Lilian behind her, and the other hand already grabbed Xiu Ji who was lying on top of her head - if the other party made any dangerous move, she would throw Xiu Ji over first.

But the brown-haired witch just seems to have chosen that direction. She casually glanced at the two men standing in the alley, ignored them, and then sped up and disappeared between the cracks between the buildings.

A second later, two other witches flew out of the hole in the building where the explosion had just occurred, and chased in the direction where the brown-haired witch had disappeared.

As they passed above the summer night, the summer night overheard staccato conversation:

“…… I didn't think she still had magic to use......"

"It's okay...... Even if there is, there is not much left, and it will definitely not be able to run far......"

"The bubble shield is also broken...... I'll be able to ...... later."

When both groups of people disappeared without a trace, Lillian breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's scary...... But it's good that it doesn't affect us. But even if there is any danger, there is no need to worry about Sister Summer Night, right? ”

"But I might also leave you and run away." Summer Night said deliberately.

"Hmph, Sister Xia Ye knows how to scare me, so you won't ...... Right? ”

Xia Ye didn't answer, but asked, "What was the situation just now?" ”

And Lillian also obediently did not ask the question again: "That...... That's what I just wanted to say, the third reason why so few people fly in Downtown. ”

"Huh?"

"The witch who escaped should have gone bankrupt." Lilian explained, "Once we don't have mana in our bodies, we die immediately, but no one is not afraid of death, so when one watches the mana of the cup dwindle day by day, and can't find any source of replenishment, one can only make some extreme attempts." ”

"For example?"

"Such as borrowing money, or just snatching. But most people will choose to borrow first, because it seems to be less risky, but in reality, even if they can live a little longer, most people will not find enough magic to pay off their debts during this time, so when the repayment deadline comes, they will be chased by debt collection agencies like the witch just now. ”

"But ......," thought Summer Night, "that witch has a broom, and it seems that she has at least one contract on her, and if she is a person who lacks magical powers, why would she have these things?" ”

"The broom may have been rented, or robbed. As for the contract...... In fact, there are many such people, the amount they owe is too great to be repaid, so they often spend all the magic in their bodies before they are frozen, and use them to buy and sign the most advanced witch contract. These contracts are often combative, so that when the debt collection team goes to collect the debt, they have the option to use violence - either the debt problem is solved with the debt collection team, or the debt problem is solved with herself. ”

"However, even if she solves the debt collection team, so she doesn't have to pay off her debts, it should be difficult to borrow magic again, right? There should be something on the blacklist here, right? Based on the experience of a previous life, Summer Night raised another question.

"Yes, it is said that each debt collection agency has a list, but each record is different and rarely communicated. But the most important problem is not here, but those who solve their debt problems through violence, not only will they be debt-free for the next period of time, but they will probably have a source of income......"

By the time Lillian said this, Summer Night had roughly guessed the reason, and sure enough, she heard Lillian continue:

"In the lower city, there is never a shortage of markets, and these people have proven their strength through their own survival. Many commissions will approach them, whaling ships will consider them when recruiting whale hunters, and many debt collection agencies will in turn invite them to join the ......"

"Ahh No wonder Luca invited me to join Flash Debt Collection. "Summer Night suddenly remembered yesterday's events, and it seemed that he was also regarded as that kind of outlaw.

"Uh......" Lilian didn't know how to answer for a while, but she still called for the lightning debt collection.

Fortunately, Xia Ye only brought it up because he thought it was interesting, and he didn't mean to settle old accounts: "So, like the witch who flew over just now, maybe she can turn over with salted fish?" ”

Although Lilian had never heard the word 'salted fish turned over', she also understood the meaning of the summer night, and she nodded: "Actually, this kind of thing is quite common in the lower city, which is why everyone is reluctant to fly into the sky, because the sky here has become a battlefield for debt evaders and debt collectors, and if it is affected, you can only consider yourself unlucky." ”

As if to confirm Lilian's words, as soon as she finished speaking, a fire suddenly rose in the sky in the other direction, and several witches whistled past in the distance, and a figure could be faintly seen falling from the sky.

Interesting......

The corners of the mouth involuntarily hooked up as the summer night watched the battle in the distance, and the lower town was obviously a much more interesting place than the orderly middle district.

That's right, that's what I love about the game......
