After following the old man for about an hour, Lin You realized that the old man did not plan to leave the city now. It seemed that he planned to wait until it got dark before making any plans. It was only a few hours before dark, but Lin You was patient and could afford to wait.
Almost another hour later, Lin You's invisibility charm had long since expired. In desperation, Lin You had no choice but to hide in a small tent nearby and wait for darkness. And the old man didn't know what he was doing hiding in his small tent. Anyway, Lin You had never seen him come out. Just then, a burst of noise came.
The slums are different from those in the City of Elysium. The place is lifeless and quiet on weekdays, so this noise is particularly strange to Lin You's ears now. Just when Lin You was hesitating to go out and take a look, there was a sound of footsteps, and Lin You heard a conversation.
"What are you doing!" He was a young man, but he was unshaven and looked very downcast. He was holding a few gold coins in his hand. The barely clothed people following him were obviously the aborigines of the slums.
These aboriginal people are always on the verge of not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes, and they can only live in such a miserable way. They generally do not dare to leave the slums and go outside without permission. If soldiers see people like them wandering outside, it is not impossible to kill them on the spot. But occasionally when they have extra money, these people will quietly go out to exchange for some food.
So where does their money come from? One is occasionally obtained from the garbage heap where they pick up food. Secondly, there are these new outsiders coming to the slums. These outsiders, regardless of how much money they have, because good things will happen to outsiders soon, once they leave the slums, they will never get them back. In this way, they will rob these people of their money. No need to pay any price.
The young man Lin You saw belonged to this kind of outsider.
Judging from his appearance and clothing, this should be an NPC. Seeing how vicious the group of slum people behind him were, Lin You hesitated for a moment before taking action.
For the sake of subsequent actions, she could not show up. Therefore, Lin You just let the red thread entangle the feet of those chasing him, so that they could not catch up with him. Seeing this person gradually disappearing from her sight, Lin You had time to think.
Are there new people coming to town
Soon, the old man came out of the small tent and asked Lin You to turn his attention. It was dusk now and it was not dark yet. I wonder what this old man was going to do
The old man dragged a body covered with black cloth with difficulty to the front of his tent, looked around cautiously, and then left in one direction. The old man's movements were very flexible and he was very vigilant. If it weren't for the help of Hongxian Tang, Lin You would have almost lost track of him. After all, this old man knows more about the terrain here than Lin You.
The old man walked and arrived at the edge of the slum. There was a sentry post there with several soldiers sitting and drinking tea. These soldiers were the ones who guarded the slum and were specially sent here to prevent them from escaping this area. of. Seeing the old man coming in, he just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. The soldiers didn't say anything. The old man rubbed his hands and looked at the soldiers with a flattering look:
"Today, some of the corpses inside stink and must be transported away, so I, I came here to pull the car."
The soldier seemed to be very used to this and was very familiar with the old man. When he heard what the old man said, he waved his hand and let him go inside. The old man was about to leave when the soldier suddenly said:
"Don't use the good horse, just use the old horse in the back. You should also know the frame."
The old man nodded quickly and subconsciously rubbed the seam of his trousers. He was a little nervous. If it weren't for a good horse, even if he left the city, he wouldn't be able to go further.
Damn these soldiers. When he was serving Lord Gikford, he didn't know where he was. Now that I am old and frail, I am not even allowed to use a good horse.
The old man was very successful. He led the horse to another exit and would not be discovered by the lazy soldiers hiding here. Therefore, he did not listen to the soldiers and chose an old horse, but chose a young and strong horse. In the past, if he dared to use such a horse-drawn cart, he would definitely be discovered when he returned home. But now that he is leaving, how many people are there to care about
None of the soldiers discovered that the old man had any evil intentions, and the old man successfully hitched the carriage and drove out. Sure enough, the soldiers didn't find anything wrong. With the carriage, Lin You couldn't keep up with the old man, so he could only walk slowly behind, following the guidance wrapped in red threads.
The bodies in the slums had to be cleaned up every once in a while, so the old man drove in, and the people in the slums didn't react much. He just subconsciously avoided this carriage. To them, the carriage was an ominous symbol. The old man put his bag of potatoes at the bottom of the corpse. The tents on his left and right sides were all used by him to stack the corpses, so there was no one near his house. Because he has no neighbors, his movements are much easier.
There were very few corpses this time, and the old man was a little troubled. Just by looking at the carriage, it was easy to see that there were few things on the carriage. The guards would notice something was wrong when they left the city gate. In desperation, he had to wrap some stones in black cloth to provide a cushion. Just when he disguised the carriage and was about to drive ahead, Lin You entered the carriage silently.
The smell in the carriage was really offensive, but Lin You had no choice but to endure the smell. And because the carriage was covered with corpses, Lin You, an uninvited guest, could only squat on the corpses and recite Amitabha.
Um? Does Buddha care about ghosts in other worlds? Then there is no need to delve into it.
While Lin You was taking action, Du Zifang, the only player in the city, was also taking action. He happened to miss Lin You. He boldly went to the prince's residence in the afternoon and found that there was no one there. He needs to obtain the dragon crystal, and he plans to kill the little dragon when it is born and seize its dragon crystal.
In this way of thinking, this is the easiest way to obtain dragon crystal. As for whether killing Xiaolong will cause anything to him... Hehe, he will leave this dungeon as soon as he gets the thing. what's the matter. The only thing that made him a little regretful was the side mission that was completely incomprehensible.
But now it’s hard to complete the main missions, let alone the side missions. There's nothing we can do if we can't finish it.
After learning about the current situation of the prince's residence, Du Zifang did not stay too long and soon returned to the now deserted street. Start patrolling the streets.
It was around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a little later than when they arrived at the City of Paradise, when Du Zifang saw a group of people faintly walking in from the city gate. It seemed that they were also caravans, and they all looked at the city made of gold in amazement.
The current City of Elysium is much dimmer than what players saw back then, but it is still impressive enough for these local NPCs. They admired and boasted about one of the people in the team. Du Zifang used the props. Listening carefully, they seemed to be praising the man for bringing them to the legendary city.
Hearing these people's boasts, Du Zifang smiled coldly. Is this a good place to bring these people? It was obvious that these guys were sent here to die.
But, die
Du Zifang was sure that even if Ren Liansong died yesterday. The little dragon didn't break out of its shell, it seemed because of some lack of energy. The boss chased them yesterday probably because he wanted to get more energy from them. So, these new arrivals are also the nourishment for the dragon to break out of its shell
Thinking of this, Du Zifang's eyes lit up.
It would be great if this was the case. Now the baby dragon can't break out of its shell, and I don't know how to contribute to the city of bliss. This female dragon incarnation cannot complete the main mission, and at night there is a boss who searches for nutrients for the baby dragon to attack me. , are in a dilemma. This dungeon was a timely help, sending a group of "nourishment" so that his main mission could be completed.
Could it be that I am not the darling of the system
Du Zifang thought about this happily, and then found that this group of people went to the city hall. The subsequent process was the same as what he encountered a few days ago. All the people in the caravan were forcibly separated, but the people in this caravan were still friendly and got better one after another. When they found a place to live, everyone still gathered in front of the city hall.
After hearing what these newcomers said, Du Zifang decided to wait and see. Sure enough, when it got dark, these new guys were almost all here. Only a few people who were placed in the slums arrived a little late. Those people with messy clothes barely calmed down when they saw their caravan.
Du Zifang, who once again used eavesdropping props, heard these people say that they were attacked somewhere in the slum in the afternoon. As soon as this information came out, Du Zifang felt something was wrong.
Attack
Will NPCs in the City of Paradise attack people? Aren't those people just like the hard-working NPCs in traditional RPG games who provide props and treasures to the brave? Why would you still attack people? Before he could figure this out, he heard the leader of the caravan comforting the people and indicating that they should move away temporarily. After all, the soldiers stationed near the city hall are eyeing these newcomers.
Yes, what are they talking about in the city hall!
Since the leader of the caravan said so, those people naturally suppressed their uneasiness. They traveled all over the country and never met anyone. Being robbed was considered a trivial matter as long as no one was killed. The group of people went to the bustling area of the city. They transported a batch of spices. Seeing that the living standard in the Golden City was pretty good, these traveling merchants naturally planned to sell the goods in their hands at a good price.
Unfortunately, what they don't know is that the goods can no longer be sold at a good price, and even they are delicacies on other people's plates.
"Sir, I..." The person kneeling in front of Gikford was one of the businessmen who entered the City of Paradise this afternoon. It turns out that like Abel, he is also a person who lures caravans to the City of Paradise.
"I know, you did a good job." Ji Kefu interrupted him. He sacrificed almost all the living people in the city, even his minions. If this person did not come back with the caravan today, he would have planned to sacrifice them in the slums no matter how unwilling he was. Those "sinners". However, now he doesn't have to make this last resort choice.
There are enough people now, even His Highness the Third... Gikford pondered. What on earth does that guy, His Highness, want to do if he stays in his own copy
Yes, His Highness the Third Prince seems to have done nothing so far. But it was because of this that Jikford was uneasy. He didn't think that His Highness was such a good-natured person.
