Sure enough, the farther north we went, the farther away we got from the southern harbor area, from the old city, where the lowest classes of working people lived. Before you know it, the pedestrians around you have changed from well-dressed gentlemen and ladies to coolies in short clothes. The street beneath my feet began to show all sorts of potholes, apparently unpatched for a long time. The buildings on the side of the road are gradually becoming low and dilapidated, and many shaded corners are even beginning to emit an unpleasant rancid smell, and I don't know if it's garbage, or simply dead corpses...... Although it was only a few dozen minutes of walking, it was as if I had arrived in another world.

The guy who was following behind him from afar with a sharp weapon, a fierce face, a disordered breath, and a bad heart, had worked very hard to catch up with the target's footsteps, and even began to gasp for breath - with Lu Xi's physical fitness at this time, even if he walked easily and easily, his cadence was much faster than that of ordinary people unconsciously. As for the snow leopard Panarsis, don't look at him as a fat cat that is harmless to humans and animals, but he is also a big cat anyway, and he will not walk too slowly. Of course, even the ruffians on the street will have a few little friends, and by the time Lu Xi has entered the dark streets of the old city, the ill-intentioned crowd behind him has unknowingly reached more than five people.

Anji had already reminded Lu Xi for the third time whether to "clean up", but he still stopped him. He once swept away one of the ill-intentioned people who followed behind him with his kryptonite eyes, but found that the other party was just a black iron high-level, probably a small gangster somewhere, or a robber who was a little stronger. Such people. Even if there were a hundred, it wouldn't be enough for him to destroy a group attack.

"Oops...... There is still no sense of crisis at all. Speaking of which. Ever since I arrived in Neosfia, the life of urgency has gone with me. It's easy to get lazy in a comfortable environment. However, I am still the best fit for this lifestyle, right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with such a way of life, my dear master." The fat snow leopard said seriously: "If everyone is willing to love daily life like you, the whole world will be better." ”

"And the world as a whole won't make any progress." Lu Xi squinted at the other party, and said as he spoke: "Speaking of which, did you live in Neosfia for ten years?" What to do here? It can't just eat, drink and have fun, right? ”

“…… Well, the main thing is to enjoy life. Panarsis actually squeezed an embarrassed expression on the cat's face: "Of course, if you just eat, drink and have fun, it will soon be empty." I rented a small two-story building in this neighborhood that connects the old town to the harbor area. The second floor is where I live, and on the first floor there is a school hall to teach children to read and write. ”

A black dragon, ah no, a black dragon that swallowed a red dragon called the bear children literacy enlightenment? I'll give it a go.,I really can't imagine this style of painting.,But if you think about it carefully.,It seems to be quite suitable for this waste house dragon...... His temper is good enough, and his physique is certainly strong enough. It is completely able to hold the lawlessness of all kinds of bear children. In addition, he is big enough to be radio and big, and he has a fanatical interest in all kinds of teenage novels. To put it bluntly, it's a hopelessly herbivorous middle two. Theoretically, I still have a common language with children.

"I don't make much money. In fact, most of the people who come to my classes are children from the harbor area and the old town, and they are all born into families of sailors, porters, and fishermen. So I basically didn't charge tuition either. But anyway, with a group of children growing up. I asked them to read and learn calligraphy, and I also met a lot of friends. It's a time of New Year's holidays. Parents also send a variety of gifts, including their own pickled sausages and salted fish, pastries they make, and clothes and quilts made by the housewives themselves...... Well, that eldest sister made honey cakes, and now that I think about it, I still feel greedy. ”

“…… No wonder you said that although it was only ten years, it was more worth remembering than your previous long life of more than 10,000 years. Lu Xi sighed. Sure enough, every immortal creature, as long as it knows what "life" is, its experience can be called an epic of turbulent conditions.

"Have you ever wanted to go and look for a former student? You've only been away from Neosfia for twenty years, and they should all be alive by now. At this time, they should all have a family and start a business, and if they move faster, they may all become grandfathers. If you have a name, I can have someone look it up right now, it should be easy. ”

Panarsis was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Thank you, little master. However, the way I am now, even if I put it in front of them, I can't recognize it, right? In fact, since Osha regained control of his body, I thought I had said goodbye to Neosfia completely, and now that I could live to see the bell tower and the streets of the City of the Seven Seas, even now, I was very satisfied. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Pa, as an Atlas snow leopard, you should have thirty years to live. You still have time to see how I can change the world, including, of course, your Neosphia. Besides, as you said, you know the hidden entrances to the ruins of the Age of the Gods four places, and now that we've dug one, I'm ready to squeeze you! ”

As he spoke, he crossed the intersection of two avenues, with an abandoned fountain in between.

"Tsk, it was obviously good here." Panarsis is a secluded tunnel.

"And now you remember again? I can't find it even if you want to find your own house. Lu Xi glanced at the other party, glanced around, and then saw a crooked street sign on the side of the road, and immediately walked in, muttering: "Green Pothos Lane?" This should be it, right? What's more, there are already pothos, where is my favorite Red Luo and Lan Luo, who are often hung and beaten by elephants? ”

“…… Well, dear master, although the jokes you tell every time are unfathomable, there must be a magnificent story behind it. He said solemnly: "What a worthy master!" ”

"Old Pa...... If you continue to develop like this, you will have more and more tendency to be a courtier and a clown, right? But. It is said that every big man will have one to N clowns around him to amuse the stuffy man, whether he is wise or not. Maybe that's also a sign of my bull breaking. ”

"A truly wise leader allows everyone to find their place. Let them do their jobs and make the most of them. Now, even a piece of waste like me. can find the meaning of existence around you, isn't this the embodiment of your wisdom and martial arts? ”

"Wow, this sycophant kung fu has at least thirty percent of the master's skills. And I really say it's very useful! ”

Now that the twilight is getting late, the flow of people in the alleys and streets is more lively than the roads outside. The road is narrow, and people on the left side of the street seem to be able to reach the window on the other side of the street only by stretching out their hands; The stone slabs on the long walkway were so mottled that they couldn't see the patterns on them, and long weeds had turned out of the gaps in the middle; Neighbors on both sides of the street began to cook dinner, and the pots were set directly on the street, and boiling water vapor came out. mixed with a hint of aroma; The housewife on the second and third floors poured the water from the window without knowing what to do, which attracted passers-by jumping and scolding, and then attracted a more fierce response; The languid stray cats lay asleep on the beams of the second floor, and it was not until Panarsis, a "kindred" who was much larger than them, that they were really scared away.

This is indeed a very lively scene, but the people who make up the scene are all small people struggling to make ends meet. Like Lu Xi, who is dressed exquisitely and luxuriously (in fact, I already feel that I am very low-key and simple), at first glance, she is a beautiful "eldest lady" born in a big family, and she also carries a fat snow leopard, just like a white swan that has entered the swamp. It is like a light source, exuding an aura that is completely different from this picture and even this dimension, as if it were a natural law. Of course, it also attracted everyone's attention as a matter of course.

There are too many elements in these eyes to be distinguished, and Lu Xi said that he has been watched too much, and this kind of scene is just a drizzle. He still maintains his relaxed and languid pace. I walked slowly for more than ten minutes. What makes him interesting is that it seems to be because there are more people in the alley than on the "main road" outside. The amateurs who had been following him were thrown away a little distance.

As the alleyway got deeper and deeper, he finally came to the door of his destination today. A red base. A sign made of black trees hung by the door, making a "jingle bell" sound in the passing wind. Nearly three meters tall, the orc man with a fierce face stood by the door, scanning everyone who passed by with hyena-like eyes. The drunken homeless man was lying in the garbage heap next to the bar, unoblivious to the disgusting smell on his body and around him, and if he hadn't snored like thunder, he might have thought that this guy was dead. In addition, there are some young people who don't see any serious work at first glance, squatting around in groups of three or five. Either they're getting together to play cards, or they're exchanging cheap paper cigarettes - yes, that's cheap enough, the quality can be judged by the smell of the smoke alone, and there seems to be some low-grade hemp (meow) medicine mixed in. The special tobacco that the old man usually smokes, it is estimated that one bucket can top more than a dozen here.

And by this time, the style of painting around me seemed to have changed again. Just now, it was still a warm scene of the old street neighborhood full of life, but it has become a gathering place for the decadent, negative and brutal gangsters with a particularly strong style of gangsters, as if it suddenly went from the set of a literary film to a gangster film.

It's a pity that the gangsters in this world don't know what it means to kill Matt, what Moxie is to do, and what is a heavy metal punk in the urban-rural interface, and they don't know how to package themselves in clothes and hairstyles, so they always feel that the climate is still a little worse.

"Shh A thug saw Lu Xi strolling over, and his stunned gaze stayed on his face for half a minute, and then he whistled. It's a pity that this guy's mid-air is too weak, and the whistle that comes out is directly broken.

The little gangsters, including the big man at the door, stopped what they were saying and looked Lu Xi up and down. This is normal.,Whoever sees the existence of a different style of painting will be very mindful.。 However, they didn't make the next move for a while, which made Lu Xi feel a little sad, these guys who had never seen the world were obviously afraid of not themselves, but the fat snow leopard at their feet. After all. No matter how fat you are like a pig, you are a big cat after all. Killing seven or eight unarmed ordinary adult men shouldn't be a big deal.

One of the thugs carefully put his hand under the table and grasped an iron rod.

Lu Xi glanced at the other party lightly. Then he walked to the door. Behind him, the thug swung his stick and smashed the chaos of the table in front of him with a slam that caused a commotion and noise among his companions.

The big man's pupils shrank slightly, and it was obvious that this one should have seen a lot of the world. Compared to those thugs who didn't know the situation, he guessed for the first time that this should be the handiwork of the person in front of him.

Spellcaster? And it's quite a powerful spellcaster!

"This is not where people like you should be." He said.

"Isn't this a bar? Then everyone should be able to come. Lu Xi said.

“…… Your pet will scare a lot of guests. The other party said again.

"A magician could blow up this street, but my pet is quiet and gentle. Only one person will drink milk silently. Anyone in your bar is much more dangerous than him. ”

The other party pondered for a while, and then seemed to accept Lu Xi's explanation, nodded and pushed the door open: "We don't charge tickets, but all first-time guests are willing to contribute a little bit to the development of the store, usually about 100 bakers......"

Lu Xi dropped the 500 Baker bill into something that resembled a fundraising box by the door, and then led Panarsis into the house. He heard the sound of the orc giant doorman closing the door, filling the alley with noise. And those business nerds who end up in their own business, completely shut out the door.

Surprisingly, the outside is a dilapidated and narrow alley, but the environment inside is quite spacious. The sofas, high chairs, and long bar counters are all well placed, and it is clear that they have been specially considered. There are plenty of aisles and space for activities. Facing the wall of the porch, there is even a stage that is not too big or small. The decoration style of the whole store is not elegant. But it has a rugged beauty, which deserves to be evaluated as a good taste.

There are already quite a few guests coming. While drinking, or whispering, or making loud noises. Lu Xi's painting style is very dramatic, and when he first entered the house, he really surprised everyone, and even turned his head to make a uniform gaze, but that's all, he quickly withdrew his gaze and began to answer their respective topics again. In fact, they did not give up their observation and consideration of Lu Xi, but changed to a more hidden way. This kind of "concealment" that wants to cover up, of course, is impossible to hide from Lu Xi's spiritual sense, but this can at least show that these drinkers are not fuel-efficient lamps. Many of them were well-dressed and looked like gentlemen walking down the streets of the Jewel Coast, which of course did not fit in with the back alleys of the old town; There are also many people with a subtle bloody and fierce atmosphere, and they are obviously masters who are accustomed to fighting with their lives.

The fat giant cats look very eye-catching on the street outside, but in this bar environment that is almost like a group of demons dancing, it really doesn't matter. Lu Xi saw a human giant man of almost the same size as the orc doorman at the door, but he was wearing an oversized and elegant suit, and the pet who was napping at his feet was clearly a wolf that was not yet an adult, and he didn't know how he brought it in. In the booth in the other corner, a fat merchant with a fat and jeweled brain, holding the bewitching maid of Drow and Tevelyn, let out a cheerful but vulgar laugh.

"Is this a Peace Hotel? There is such a place in the middle of the city of Neosfia. ”

"Because this is a very open and inclusive international city! The constraints of law and system are reduced to a minimum here, and only money has real dominance. If you're willing to abide by the principles of money and business supremacy, even an abyssal demon can mix well here. Panarsis said helplessly, "Of course, sometimes, even I feel that I am too open. But if it weren't for that, I, an outsider of unknown origin, would not have found my place in this city anytime soon. Now that I think about it, it's quite complicated. ”

"It's complicated to be diverse, and it's diverse to be charming, that's why you're so haunted."

"You've always been so holy." He nodded, looked around, and said, "In short, the guests here are by no means good, they should be some private meeting points for unsightly characters, you must be careful." ”

Lao Pa is right about one thing, maybe this is really a meeting point and trading point in the underworld, and the mercenaries doing wet work, killers, smugglers, and even wanted criminals in the countries of the continent make up the main customer group of the Friends of the Red Forest. They gathered together, on the one hand, to keep warm, and on the other hand, it is not known how many shady deals were made in this tavern.

He turned his psionic sense to the maximum, and while making sure that there were no powerful people here who could threaten him, he squeezed to the bar. There were three bartenders working there, a young woman, an uncle who seemed to have a lot of stories, and a young man who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a weak and delicate face.

Suddenly, Lu Xi seemed to have discovered something again, and couldn't help but stop in front of the bar.

"Master......" Panarsis had been following Lu Xi's feet, and at this time, his voice couldn't help but sink, and even had a hint of trembling that could be easily detected.

"Well, I found out too...... It's a real dragon. Even if the complete enhanced version of the dragon soul is placed in the body of the fat cat, the spiritual sense is still so amazing. But what are you afraid of? People won't eat you. Shall I say, is it really you? ”

Lu Xi rolled Lao Pa's eyes, then hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly sat down in front of the bar, his expression a little weird. And before the uncle was about to say hello, he suddenly said to the "young man" who was washing the cup: "You are Mr. Mondson, right?" I want a glass of blended wine, 3 points of purple olives and 7 points of cranberries, and three pieces of ice at the end. ”

In addition to the young man, the other two bartenders looked at each other, and the tattooed young woman had already pressed her hand under the bar, probably hiding a weapon, or some sharp mechanism.

"Cranberry wine needs to be picked by the guests themselves." He looked at Lu Xi, there was no emotion in his eyes like gray mist, and he was as silent as a dead corpse: "Then, please come with me." (To be continued.) )

PS: Today is still a big chapter, asking for votes. However, I'm going to play in District 11 on the 15th and come back on the 25th, so it's time to take leave......
