Chapter 697: Desolate Eri City

I didn't plan to tell Hiroshi Nitta about not living in Ari City, after all, the adventurer base probably wouldn't allow gangsters like them to use call crystals. Bayi?? Chinese??.

As for mailed letters, they may not be able to explain it in writing, after all, most of the gangsters like Hiroshi Nitta were poor when they were young, they couldn't afford to read, they couldn't afford to eat, and they suffered everywhere, so they had to become what they are now.

I really don't want to have too much to do with them, but I can't deny that the information they brought me must be useless.

So, after a brief moment of wrestling, I chose to tell them that I had moved.

"I've already moved to Moonlight City," I said, "It's just that I still have some things that I can't give up on this side of Eri City, and I need you to help me keep an eye on the situation on this side of Eri City and the changes in the actions of the higher-ups of Eri City." ”

"Moved, moved" Yu Asa Lian still looked like he was not good at words, he thought about it for a while, and said to me: "Great, adult, forgiveness, forgive me for being blunt, you moved to Moonlight City, and the matter of love and intelligence is a bit tricky." ”

I smiled and said, "Why? ”

Nitta Hao waved his hand and motioned for Yuasa to stop talking, and then, he took Yuasa's words and continued: "My lord, do you know, the adventurer base does not allow us to use call crystals, and when it comes to writing letters, none of us can write......

"Well," I sighed, "that's a bit tricky." ”

I turned to the two of them and said, "Do you have any ideas for how to solve this problem?" ”

Hiroshi Nitta shook his head.

Tang Qianlian thought for a while and said, "Great, my lord, why don't I find someone who can write, help, help us ghostwrite?" ”

"Well, that's a good idea," I said, "but have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if the information was leaked?" ”

"That's right" Xintian Hao angrily scolded Yu Asari, and said: "You stupid, why didn't you think of such an important issue, thanks to the wisdom of the adults, otherwise the lives of the brothers would have been explained by you!" ”

Yuasa lowered his head and was silent, I could even imagine his helpless expression.

"Forget it," I waved my hand and said, "I'm trying to find a way to solve the problem now, not listening to you arguing here." ”

"Yes, sir," the two said in unison.

"Okay, let's talk about it, do you have any better ideas?"

Hiroshi Nitta and Yuasa shook their heads even if you look at me and I look at you.

"Since you can't help it, then I'll think of one for you," I said, "Do you know that there is a casino at the end of this street?" ”

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Do you know the owner of the casino?" I asked.

"Yes, it's an old man named Wren," Hiroshi Nitta said.

"Very good," I said, "If you have any information to provide, you can just ask him to write for it, and as for the cost of the informationβ€”"

Hiroshi Nitta and Yuasa both widened their eyes and waited for this moment.

"Wren will pay you as appropriate for the value of the information."

Both sighed at the same time.

I can feel that in their sighs, there are luck and regrets.

I grinned and smiled, and said to them, "Although I have left here, it does not mean that I will not come back, do a good job, I will give you the corresponding monetary reward, but if you dare to betray me, the end will be miserable." ”

"Yes, my lord, I understand!" Xintian Hao hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Yes, yes, sir!" Yuasa Ren also said respectfully.

Parting ways with Hiroshi Nitta, I continued to look for a place to eat.

The constant gurgling sound in my stomach seemed to be the sound of bubbles emerging from the bottom of the hot springs, and the more I felt myself, the hungrier I felt.

Since the city lord began to expel the foreigners, there have been fewer and fewer foreign shops in Ari City, until now, countless special shops that were once opened by foreigners have been hung with wooden boards, or sealed with nails along with the gates, and painted with oil paint on them in three large letters: closed.

Among them, there are many restaurants full of flavor, which have also been affected.

Even the 'old place', the kind of hotel frequented by the elders of the adventurer's base, was not immune.

Looking at the open doors and empty shops, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

This place used to be overcrowded, but now it is empty, what is the difference between this scene and the Eri City in front of you.

If Carter Horton and the others don't rein in their changes, Eri City will sooner or later become the target of public criticism.

At that time, if you want to change, everything will be too late~

Eventually, I found a very small restaurant that had nothing special to say except for a few simple meals.

After eating, I wandered around the streets in a panic.

No matter how many times I look at these desolate streets, I still feel uncomfortable.

When I slipped to the teahouse again, Cecil was sitting in the doorway, sipping tea and looking around.

I said hello from afar: "Well? ”

Cecil said, "Idle." ”

"No one?" I glanced into the teahouse.

"How could anyone be," Cecil said.

"No," I said, "I remember that in the past, you were full almost every day, and from time to time there would be guests booking places, how did you become like this now, is it because you are not doing well?" ”

"Don't be kidding," Cecil said, "What does this have to do with my business, those former guests have either left Ari City, or they have cowered at home and refused to go out, and they have long since lost the pomp and circumstance of that time." ”

"Cowering at home, why?" I was puzzled.

"Of course, it is for the sake of Mingzhe's self-preservation" Cecil said: "Those who can come to my teahouse are either rich people, or nobles, or they are related to the city lord, not long ago there was such a thing as purging dissenting rebels, and strictly ordered that the powerful and rich people are not allowed to form parties for personal gain, and gather at will, otherwise they must be inspected, and those who do not accept the inspection are all regarded as rebels. ”

I sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I sympathize with you, it's pitiful." ”

Cecil shook his head: "It's not pitiful, although there is no teahouse, I still have a lot of assets to use, it's a big deal to change places and start over." ”

"A local tyrant is a local tyrant" I couldn't help but praise: "Say start over again, without ambiguity at all." ”

Cecil laughed self-deprecatingly, and then he asked me, "By the way, you haven't asked yet, what are you doing here?" ”

I snorted my chin at him and mumbled, "Are they still in there?" ”

Cecil nodded and said, "Something?" ”

"Something," I said.

He looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he got up and walked inside, and I followed.
