Lin You put all twelve gold coins into the space grid. Seeing the scared newcomer with tears and runny nose, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Okay, she admits that she has a bit of a bad taste, but this newcomer is also quite good at bullying others. I thought he was very brave, but I didn't expect him to be so careless. Lin You conveniently touched the female player's butt again. Seeing that she was shivering even more violently, Lin You pushed the door open and walked out of the "matchbox".
Her dilapidated house was very close to the matchbox of the female player. Until Lin You returned to her dilapidated building, the female player opposite was still too scared to get up.
Lin You stopped caring about the female player's affairs. She first pulled off the old sheets on the bed, filled the room with water, tidied up the whole room, then made the bed and finished eating. When the sky darkened, Lin You was ready to go out to find the barrier-breaking stone.
The matchbox opposite had been very quiet. When Lin You went out, he glanced at it and left the slum directly. He touched the red thread on his wrist. When he got off the carriage, Lin You had tied the red thread on the carriage. Now he could follow it and find it.
Lin You remembered that the three carriages seemed to be distributed by the fat man to other people in the caravan. Because he did not plan to leave, he naturally did not need the carriages.
The City of Elysium seems to be the real City of Elysium when night falls. It is no longer as lazy as it was during the day, but becomes more energetic at night.
Glass lanterns hung on both sides of the city's roads, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime. Taverns and dance studios were opened, and men and women were walking down the street wearing silk clothes and luxurious jewelry.
Lin You hid in a dark alley. She didn't go out until she understood the situation. She hasn't forgotten the soldier's warning.
What's more, Lin You looked at the leather armor on his body and the gloves on his hands, and his outfit was incompatible with this place. She was going to do bad things now, and it was totally unacceptable for her to walk down the street so conspicuously.
Soon, Lin You found a breakthrough.
There is a tavern nearby. It seems to have just opened and there are not many people. The proprietress was leaning coquettishly on the door frame, trying to attract customers, but not many people appreciated her coquettishness.
After all... that's what Lin You saw. There are really too many beauties here. Every beauty has its own characteristics. Although the landlady is pretty good, she can't compare to the flowers on the street outside.
When Lin You appeared in front of the proprietress wearing leather armor, the proprietress was startled. It had been a long time since she had seen an adventurer dressed like Lin You.
This man in leather armor looks very poor at first glance.
But the poor Lin You took out a gold coin in the next second and said to the landlady:
"Can you help me dress up? I can wear your old clothes. You can also take care of the jewelry and the like. Just don't be too different from others."
"10 gold coins." Lin You thought that he needed to explain his sudden and inexplicable demand to the landlady. But the landlady made the bid very simply.
Lin You nodded, she thought it was appropriate. Because just now she saw that in the tailor shop on the corner of the street, a piece of clothing sold cost 7 gold coins. If you want someone else's clothes and accessories, 10 gold coins is enough.
What's more, this is not Lin You's gold coin, Lin You doesn't feel bad at all.
The boss lady didn't want to trick Lin You. She didn't take out her own old clothes. According to her, people in the City of Paradise would not wear any duplicate clothes. Therefore, the clothes she put on Lin You were newly made by her. The jewelry is also very simple, a silver-plated hairband and some small rhinestones.
Lin You looked at herself in the mirror and almost didn't recognize it. Since it had been a long time since she went to the beach to practice diving, Lin You's skin had turned white. This dark blue dress suits Lin You's complexion perfectly, and the landlady's hands are also very skillful. Whether it's the hairstyle or the makeup, they all suit Lin You extremely well.
Lin You almost didn't dare to recognize herself when she saw herself in the mirror. The lady boss seemed to be surprised when she saw Lin You like this. She wanted to touch Lin You's hair, but Lin You avoided her. But she wasn't angry.
"The little girl looks pretty good. I happen to be short of a waitress here. Are you interested, little girl?"
Lin You is good-looking, but her good looks are nothing in the City of Paradise. The landlady mainly fell in love with Lin You's unique and exotic beauty. After all, there are many tall, white-skinned, blond-haired, and blue-eyed beauties in the City of Paradise. Lin You's behavior gives people a refreshing feeling.
Her little abacus clicked, but Lin You looked at the ambiguous look on the landlady's face in the mirror and rejected her proposal without hesitation.
Waitress? She's a bartender.
Lin You had been observing in the dark alley for so long, and she was quite aware of it. The atmosphere in this city seems to be very open. Men and women hug each other in the street, and even in dark alleys... Well, it's completely different from the background of this era, and it's even more fun than in our own world.
After being rejected by Lin You, the landlady seemed to want to win back Lin You's heart. Exotic beauties like Lin You were really rare. It would be a pity not to come to her tavern. But where does Lin You have time to waste with her? Throwing down ten gold coins, he lifted up his skirt and trotted out of the tavern.
What Lin You didn't expect was that her appearance did not allow her to integrate well into the City of Paradise. Instead, because of her completely different appearance from the locals, she attracted many men and women to stop and watch. At first, most people looked at it with curiosity, but then it took on some other meanings.
Lin You was not in the mood to study the strangeness in those people's eyes. Seeing that she had attracted attention, she returned to the dark alley again, thinking about how to avoid the local residents. While Lin You was thinking, several men followed her into the dark alley.
These men have different looks, but each of them can be said to be a top-notch handsome guy. Being surrounded by a group of handsome guys is actually a very happy thing. But when Lin You looked at this group of people, she thought of Qi An's "hum" with a little arrogant ending, and she suddenly woke up from this beauty.
Beauty and withered bones are all false. After repeating this sentence for a few times, Lin You calmed down. The handsome guys following Lin You were actually very polite. They said they just wanted to make friends with Lin You, and then asked about Lin You's address. He even said that if Lin You was willing to work with them, fine clothing, jewelry, gold and silver jewelry would not be a problem.
The meaning of those men was self-evident. Lin You refused at first, but those men tried to persuade her at first. When the persuasion failed, she began to want to force her to have sex. Lin You said that it's okay to show love, but don't go too far. Their illegal behavior will be severely punished by law.
This group of handsome guys actually said arrogantly that there is no law in the City of Paradise... Then Lin You, who knew that there was no law in the City of Paradise, interrupted their descendants. Lin You said that she did not mean it. , after upgrading her martial arts, she has not yet mastered the sense of proportion.
There were "bodies" lying on the ground in the dark alley. Lin You took out the gauze scarf from the space grid and covered her face, barely blocking the curious gaze of the local NPC. Just like this, following the red thread, Lin You came to a small building.
The environment and decoration here are obviously much better than those in the slums. There are actually some flowers and plants planted under the small building. Lin You didn't want to look at the flowers and plants, so she turned around and went to the back of the small building. Only two of the three carriages inlaid with barrier stones were here. Lin You didn't know where the remaining one went.
But she only needed a barrier-breaking stone, so she was not in the mood to pursue the whereabouts of the missing carriage. After hesitating for a moment, Lin You used the bone dagger to pull down the barrier stones on the two carriages. Although it is not good to steal people's things, it is ridiculous to pay attention to these things in the dungeon. One of the two barrier-breaking stones was held by Lin You in his hand, and the other was put into the space grid as a second-hand preparation.
The barrier-breaking stone is transparent and colorless, about the size of a fingernail. Just after getting the barrier-breaking stone, the world in front of Lin You was completely different.
Because, in Lin You's eyes, this city of bliss seemed to be breathing. Lin You knelt down and touched the golden bricks on the ground. The shape of the bricks was very strange, as if... some kind of scales.
Could this city be transformed into some kind of monster? Is the city alive
Lin You thought silently and didn't want to stay here for long. The lights in the small building were all dim. It seemed that the residents here had gone out and no one was here at the moment. There is no need to explore here, and staying here is just a waste of time.
The main mission is to escape from the City of Paradise and obtain the Barrier Breaking Stone. Lin You turned around and headed towards the city gate. Although she knew it would not be so easy, she still wanted to try and get a foot in the door. The journey from the small building to the city gate was not a happy one for Lin You.
At this time, all the shops on both sides of the street were open, and people were coming and going on the street, and everyone had a smile on their face. Not sure if it was the effect of the barrier-breaking stone, Lin You looked at the citizens under the light and found that they looked very bad, and the smiles on everyone's faces had a false meaning, and their walking movements Also very stiff.
"Hahaha, everyone, this is said to be an adventurer who just came to the city today." Suddenly, a noisy voice broke the false prosperity on the street. Before Lin You could react, everyone on the street, Even the waiters in the store swarmed towards the source of the sound. Lin You's footsteps paused. She heard the word "adventurer" from that sentence. After thinking about it again and again, she still went to see the fun.
Arriving at the source of the sound, Lin You saw a few unfamiliar players. There were many players in this dungeon, but after walking together for 4 or 5 days, Lin You was familiar with them, so recognizing them was not a problem. Those players were still wearing leather armor, and the clothes they wore naturally looked out of place compared to the people in the City of Paradise.
Seeing more and more NPCs gathering together, the three players obviously seemed a little nervous. Everyone who enters the dungeon has been baptized by the "expressionless" skill of NPCs, and there is a certain psychological shadow on NPCs. But the NPCs didn't just surround them, nor did they attack them. Naturally, these players couldn't fight back, so they could only stand there and wait for more and more people to watch.
"What are you doing?" The leading player among the three players was named Chang Bainian. He obviously also noticed the nervousness of his teammates. As a senior player, he first appeased the other two players and then spoke first.
"I'm just curious." The NPC touched his pigtails. "You said you are an adventurer. People here rarely see adventurers. You are still wearing such clothes. Do you think we are curious?"
"Curious!" It seemed that in order to respond to the little braided NPC, other NPCs started to support the little braided NPC.
"Look, everyone is curious." Xiaozizi clapped his hands proudly after receiving the support, signaling everyone to quiet down. After that, he turned to Chang Bainian and continued, "I see you have swords and longbows in your hands. And He is an adventurer, so he must be very powerful.”
"It happens that my bodyguard is said to be the strongest trained by our family, but I don't believe it, so I would like you to try my bodyguard for me."
When Xiao Braid said this, everyone looked at the tall guard behind him. The guard's face was a bit dark, and he seemed to feel uncomfortable being so doubted by his master. But he couldn't blame his master, so he could only look at the three players fiercely.
Does this npc have any disease
Chang Bainian and his two teammates couldn't help but cursed in their hearts. They originally made an appointment to go out and explore in the evening, but this dungeon was completely different from the previous dungeon. It was even more prosperous at night. How could they explore with so many people coming and going
Needless to say, the situation at night was different from usual. When we came to the street, the NPCs looked at the three of them very strangely. Chang Bainian and the three of them couldn't help but want to change their clothes and follow the local customs. At least don't look so out of place, but the prices here are extremely high.
A meal starts with a minimum of 1 gold coin, and you can only eat a piece of bread. According to people here, a set of clothes can only be worn for one day, and the cheapest set of clothes and shoes in a clothing store costs five gold coins.
In other words, based on three meals a day plus clothing, it will cost at least 8 gold coins a day. And each of them only has 12 in hand. Considering that they didn't know how long they would stay in this city, they gave up on changing clothes. Try to save as much as possible.
But I never expected that it was just the clothes that caused the NPCs here to focus on them, and even deliberately caused trouble for them.
When the guard came to attack with a sword, Chang Bainian held his breath and concentrated on the opportunity, kicked the guard on the waist, then raised his own sword and knocked down the guard's sword. The guard's sword was knocked off, so he naturally refused and picked up his own sword to continue attacking Chang Bainian.
The two of them fought back and forth for more than a dozen times. It looked like the guard couldn't hold on any longer. Finally, the man with the pigtails called for a stop. Chang Bainian looked at the man with pigtails impatiently and said:
"It's a competition. We still have things to do, so we can go."
Chang Bainian looked impatient, but his heart was pounding. Although the guard was tall and powerful, he never doubted that he could not defeat him. But he didn't expect to win so easily.
Ha, no wonder that little braid wants to compete with the guard. He is quite knowledgeable and knows that his guard is weak.
"Wait!" The eyes of the man with the braid were full of admiration for Chang Bainian. Seeing that Chang Bainian was about to leave, he quickly said, "I am from the Hermann family. Duke Hermann is my father, and I He is my father’s sole heir.”
Although Chang Bainian and the others didn't know who Duke Hermann was, just hearing the word Duke was loud enough. Therefore, they suppressed their anger for the time being and continued to listen to the man with pigtails talking.
"I see that your swordsmanship is very superb. How about you become my teacher?" The man with the braid said and stretched out five fingers. "This is the number every day, 500 gold coins!"
Poor player Lin You:! ! !
Poor player Chang Bainian:! ! !
"As for your two companions." Seeing that Chang Bainian still didn't agree with him, the braided man became anxious and hurriedly spoke again, "Although the treatment is not as good as yours, how about I accept them as my bodyguards?"
Chang Bainian's face was expressionless, but his mind was spinning rapidly. This man has a distinguished family background and offers a high price. And I really need money now, so it's not impossible to be his teacher for the time being.
After thinking for a while, the three of them nodded to each other. Chang Bainian agreed with the braided man. Decided to go to Hermann's house to be his tutor.
This happy ending made the onlookers applaud. It seems to be celebrating that the young master of the Hermann family has received such an excellent teacher, and it seems to be celebrating that a talented person like Chang Bainian can be recognized by others.
Initially, being surrounded by a group of NPCs and applauding made the three players very uncomfortable, but the respectful attitude of the Hermann family master made the players who had just been embarrassed by his domineering behavior feel a lot better.
Hehe, they are just NPCs after all.
Thinking like this, the three of them relaxed a lot. After a while, a luxurious carriage came and took the Herman family's son and the three players away. The crowd surrounding the three people dispersed, and the street returned to its original state.
After witnessing all this, Lin You felt a little uncomfortable. She wondered if she was being too preoccupied. Why did the smile on the face of the young master of the Herman family seem to have something special when the player defeated the guard
And the smiles on the crowd just now when they applauded... Could anything happen if these three players were taken away
Lin You didn't know and couldn't control it. Although he was carrying the barrier-breaking stone, the world in Lin You's eyes seemed to be no different from before except that the NPCs were stiffer. Lin You almost thought this was a normal city, but it wasn't. The mountains of corpses he saw outside the City of Paradise made Lin You dare not let down his guard.
