Chapter 243: East and West
Lu Boyuan laughed with Zhou Fan for a few words, and then turned to the topic: "The title of a newcomer to become a Yiluan Lux is temporarily Muyin Lux, and once he passes the assessment, he can be graded according to his strength." ”
"How to assess?" Zhou Fan asked with a slight startle, he really didn't know this.
Lu Boyuan smiled slightly, "It's very simple, as long as you complete the Yiluan Division task once, you can be graded, but there is no need to worry about this, Lux has always been a team of two, and I will arrange a partner for you tomorrow, I don't know if Zhou Lux has a place to live? If not, Yiluan Si can also arrange a place for you to live." ”
"Then it's a problem for the staff. Zhou Fan is worried that this problem cannot be solved.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Lu Boyuan just smiled and shook his head.
Soon Lu Boyuan took Zhou Fan out of Yiluan's Mansion, walked out of Tianliang Street, crossed an avenue that ran through the east and west, and stepped into the road that Zhou Fan walked from the North City Gate before.
"This is North Street. Lu Boyuan explained for Zhou Fan, "On the east side of North Street is Dongfang, where most of the common people live in Tianliangli, and on the west side of North Street is Xifang, where businessmen and adults live. ”
Zhou Fan had walked around the neighborhood before he came, and there was a big difference in the structure of the houses on both sides, most of the houses in the west square were walled courtyards, while the east square was a single-family house, and the houses were all crowded together, leaving only small alleys that could accommodate one person to pass through.
A north street separates the two sides into two distinct classes.
Originally, Zhou Fan thought that Lu Boyuan would take him to the East Square of North Street and find him a small house, but who knew that Lu Boyuan would take him to the West Square of North Street.
Zhou Fan's eyes showed a look of surprise, could it be that the welfare of Lux is good enough to live in Xifang, which has a courtyard?
Even if he felt strange in his heart, Zhou Fan didn't ask much, just walked with Lu Boyuan.
The two walked into the West Square, the streets and alleys of the West Square were much wider, and they walked on the edge of the laneway closest to North Street.
Zhou Fan found that there were small houses with only a small courtyard next to the lane.
This kind of house is far from the house with a compound inside, but it is much better than the residential houses on North Street East.
"Most of these small courtyards are inhabited by the wrestlers of the Yiluan Division, the Fu Master and the captains of the patrol team of Tianliang City, considering that you warriors have some secrets of your own, so it is one person and one courtyard. Lu Boyuan explained to Zhou Fan as he walked.
"But the place is smaller after all, only suitable for warriors who don't have a family to live, if you have a family, you can only find another way, Yiluan Division can only give some subsidies to those who have families. ”
"Are all these courtyards built by officials?" Zhou Fan asked with some surprise.
Even if it is the government's own land, it may be worth a lot of money to sell it to some businessmen in need.
"No, the land was provided by the government, and these courtyards were built by the merchants inside. Lu Boyuan smiled, "Does Zhou Lishi know why those unprofitable businessmen are willing to pay this money?"
"These marginal courtyards are inhabited by warriors, if there is any danger in Xifang, I can help them solve it as soon as possible. Zhou Fan understood after thinking about it for a while.
"Zhou Lishi is really smart, and that's why. Lu Boyuan nodded, then stopped in front of a small courtyard, and as he untied the key from his waist that was coiled with iron coils, "Even if you have a lot of busy affairs and won't live here, they are still willing to pay this money." ”
"Sometimes, as long as something happens to happen to Xifang, a few wrestlers happen to be there, maybe it can save their lives, this kind of investment is undoubtedly worth it for them, and their lives are more expensive than money. ”
Zhou Fan was silent, Lux was supposed to protect the safety of Tianliangli, if there was a strange thing in Tianliang City, they would all rush over nearby.
It can only be said that these merchants are very smart, and if the warriors live closer, their lives will be more secure.
"Are there often strange things in Tianliang City?" Zhou Fan asked as he looked at Lu Boyuan, who was identifying the key.
He had heard the story of a merchant told by the charm of Eyeless, but it didn't mean that Eyeless could disguise himself and other strange creatures could sneak in.
This is Tianliang City with four rune walls, and there are Yiluan Sifu in the city, wrestler runes and patrols, etc., how many monsters can come in such a defensive force?
Lu Boyuan's action of picking up the key paused, and he shook his head helplessly: "Whether it is the Fu Wall or the warriors, they can't completely prevent the strange ones from coming in, and most of the monsters that can come in have a way to avoid it, so every time there is a strange invasion in Tianliang City, it is a rumor." ”
"How did they get in?" Zhou Fan asked a little strangely.
"There are many ways, some come in through possession and disguise, some weird can fly, come in from the sky, Zhou Lishi is new to the city, and he doesn't know enough about Tianliang City, except for those two, the most strange way to invade is the underground ......" Lu Boyuan picked out the key and tried it, no, he picked another key.
"Underground?" Zhou Fan was slightly stunned, did he dig a tunnel to come in?
With a click, the brass horizontal lock was opened, Lu Boyuan took off the horizontal lock, pushed open the door and nodded: "It's underground, the shape of Tianliang City seems to be a big iron pot, just because of the underground drainage ditch, the bottom of the pot can't be made too thick after all, and there are many monsters who are afraid of the rune wall to break through the underground defense and sneak in in this way." ”
The wooden door was pushed open, and an almond tree and a small house were planted in the small courtyard, which was no taller than the wall.
Lu Boyuan opened the door of the house again, and there was a bed, a chair, and a table in the house, which looked a little cramped.
In fact, if you don't have a courtyard, then the house space should be larger, but martial artists have the need to cultivate, and having a small courtyard that can be moved is more important to them.
"The conditions are a little simpler, and I hope Zhou Lux will not be surprised. Lu Boyuan said with a smile.
"Politely, it's nice to have a place like this. "Zhou Fan is single, and he is really satisfied with such a free accommodation.
Lu Boyuan still had official business, he explained a few more words to Zhou Fan, and then left in a hurry.
Zhou Fan simply cleaned up his residence, went to the shops on North Street to buy some daily necessities, and bought some food by the way, before turning around and returning to the small courtyard where he lived.
He locked the wooden door, gave a portion of the food to the old man, and began to eat himself.
Less than a day after leaving home, he began to miss his father and mother Xiaoyanagi a little.
Speaking of which, since he arrived in this world, this is the first time he has traveled far away.
However, Zhou Fan quickly shook his head self-deprecatingly, suppressed these thoughts and emotions in his heart, and after eating, he began to cultivate when he had nothing to do for the time being.
