Aura Hunter

Opening the door, Ye Chen saw a narrow and dark alley.

The floor is covered with all kinds of rubbish.

The traces of rats and insects can be seen everywhere.

The hygiene is appallingly bad.

On either side of the alley are ramshackle shacks like the Daigs.

The poor people in ragged clothes come and go.

Only the filthy young children can still show their carefree smiles occasionally through the behavior of looking for toys in the rubbish heap.

There is a smell of poverty, despair, and desolation everywhere.

Ye Chen observed all this silently, and his facial features couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.

If this is a prosperous holy light pure land, it is basically impossible to see such a scene.

After all, a holy light church that takes "people first" as its doctrine will not allow places like slums to exist.

In the holy light society, anyone living in poverty can go to the local church to apply for the minimum living assistance.

And those immature children, no matter how humble their backgrounds, have the opportunity to be taken in by orphanages, monastery and the other humanitarian organizations, instead of just looking for happiness in garbage heaps as they are now. Shadow...

Ye Chen looked at all kinds of poor people and thought to himself with a solemn expression:

(The people here, like me, are human faces, Speak holy light language like me...)

(However, they use the currency of holy light pure land more than a century ago...and don't know why For the Holy Spirit, what is the Church, what is a hunting party, what is a hunter...)

(Everything here seems too absurd...)

(This city...this place called "The City of Sins"...)

(Absolutely not normal.)

While Ye Chen was thinking with a heavy face, the poor people around him were also looking at Ye Chen silently.

Although the simple clothes on his body are very commensurate with the environment of the slums, Ye Chen's tall stature, strong physique, and handsome appearance are like those who came out of a famous painting. Everything that is dirty seems out of place...

Ye Chen ignored the gazes of the people around him, and turned to look into the distance of the alley.

A large area with distinct layers and a large-scale urban scene flooded into his field of vision.

The slum where Ye Chen lives now is located at the bottom of the Xiacheng District of Niedu.

After passing through the various city streets with different styles in the midtown area, the upper city area stands like a mountain in the center of the city.

There, Ye Chen could clearly see a towering clock tower.

There is no doubt that that is the target he will visit in the future.

Ye Chen originally thought that the butcher hunter had brought him back to the holy light pure land.

But now it seems that is not the case at all.

The existence of this evil capital completely goes against Ye Chen's cognition.

At the same time, there are residents of the same race and language as Ye Chen...

Such a strange situation is absolutely inseparable from the butcher hunter .

At this moment, my intuition tells Ye Chen...

The "mayor" mentioned by the Daiger family is very likely to be Jettiskok himself. !

However, if the butcher hunter is really the ruler here, then after bringing Ye Chen here, why did he not kill him, but let Ye Chen stay in this slum? How about a corner to recuperate?

As of now, Ye Chen is still unable to come up with a clear answer to the key question of whether butcher hunters are enemies or friends.

After all, it's a fact that he made his battle situation more difficult to a certain extent, but it's also a fact that he never really hurt himself from beginning to end...

This What does a man want to do?

These are the biggest doubts surrounding Ye Chen today.

However, despite this, Ye Chen's future course of action has become clear.

Unable to figure out the other party's position and thoughts, Ye Chen's safest move is naturally to seize the opportunity to secretly escape from this strange city.

Of course, the time is not yet ripe, after all, Ye Chen is still very weak.

Therefore, his top priority now is to continue to rest and recuperate, recover his strength, and at the same time collect as much local information as possible in Niedu, so that his situation gradually changes from passive to active.

With these precautionary thoughts in mind, Ye Chen looked back from the big clock tower in the center of Niedu, then turned around and followed Daigman to the suburban construction site outside Niedu.

On the way, Daigman told Ye Chen that the total population of the city of Niedu is more than one million people, all of whom are all human beings like Daigman.

There are about 50,000 people like Daigman who live in the slums of Xiacheng District. They live very poor and their social status can be regarded as the bottom. Fortunately, the poor can help each other. Therefore, life can go on just fine...

And the overall social level of Niedu is the same as the currency Ye Chen has seen, which is several times behind that of holy light pure land. After a century gap, the main means of transportation is still biologically driven carriage, and the civilians only use kerosene lamps in their homes, and they don't even see the slightest shadow of electricity.

If Daigman can introduce Ye Chen the humanistic history of Niedu, then Ye Chen will be able to understand this Mysterious Land more comprehensively.

However, unfortunately, Daigman doesn't know anything about this.

It's like he doesn't know anything about the outside world. Even if it's the local city under his feet, he doesn't know anything about its origins. Ye Chen said that he couldn't help himself...

Ye Chen was deeply surprised by this, but there was no sign of lying or acting from the old man's reaction, and the other party seemed to be really unable to help to yourself.

Nevertheless, the young man firmly believes that there must be some hidden secrets in it, but it is something that the old man does not know.

Next, Ye Chen walked and meditated, no more words.

......

The slum where the Daiger family lived was located in the outermost part of the capital, not far from the suburbs, where farms, The shadow of pastures and workshops, the overall layout exudes an atmosphere of self-sufficiency and stable development.

Ye Chen followed Daigerman across Qianmotian Road to one of the construction sites where the yellow sand was flying.

Daegman took Ye Chen through all kinds of workers, then walked to the foreman and briefly introduced the young helper beside him.

The foreman welcomed the arrival of Ye Chen, a strong manpower, and then explained Ye Chen's temporary work on the spot. Physical strength and endurance do not require any technical content.

For this kind of rough work, Ye Chen accepted it calmly.

Although his social status in the holy light pure land is already equal to that of a generation of young rich people, but now Ye Chen is in a foreign land and has no money, in fact, he is a poor person similar to Daigman, so naturally he has to Just do as the locals do.

In this way, the dignified generation of bloodsmith hunters officially started the special experience of working on the construction site today.

Of course, these jobs are very hard work for ordinary people, but for Ye Chen it is not the slightest pressure.

His physical foundation is always there, even if the combat capability is temporarily absent, the most basic strength is still there.

So, just like this, reinforced concrete and stone bricks, Ye Chen has one hand and one car, as if he is dragging an empty plastic bag, walking with wind, swift and decisive, just like this between the construction sites Unprecedented transportation efficiency has been demonstrated.

In just one afternoon, Ye Chen finished the whole day's workload for 30 people, and didn't even stop to take a sip of water in the middle, which really made the workers and foreman on the construction site look stupid. Eyes...

However, while he was working, his expression seemed to be absent-minded.

Just because Ye Chen has been secretly worrying about the war situation, old family, and homeland in the distance.

“What was the final result of the butcher and clown annihilation campaign?”

“What is the situation in the real holy light pure land?”

“and Ou Ke, who was transported away by the butcher himself, is alive or dead?"

"Waemon, Shia, Firona, Errigat, what about these companions who were left behind?"

p>

"Is it possible for me to go back and meet them again in the future?"

"What should I do with the existence of the abyss in my body?"

These problems are like giant mountains piled up in Ye Chen's heart, bringing him incomparable gigantic psychological pressure. a fish bone stuck in one's throat ...

mark.

Ye Chen started a simple Q&A with Daigman based on the current situation.

"Mr. Daigman, how long have I been at your house in total?"

"You have been in a coma for three days and two nights, and today is the fourth day Now."

"Have you really never heard of hunting groups and churches or anything like that?"

"No, youngster, I really don't know what you're talking about? These..."

"You don't know the external conditions outside of the 'Neidu' at all?"

"Yes, our city has always been self-sufficient The tradition of self-sufficiency can be said to be completely closed to the outside world..."

"No one even tries to explore far away?"

"No, never , because the mountains and forests around Niedu are too tangled and complicated, even if you go, you will just get lost in it, and then return to the door of Niedu in a daze..."

" So, anyway, your city has to have a ruler in charge, right?"

"Well, that's true, that's our mayor."

"The mayor What's your name?"

"I don't know, we untouchables have no right to inquire about these things, and I have never heard anyone mention it, and I don't even know what the mayor looks like.... .."

Ye Chen listened to this, frowning involuntarily, and then asked Daigman:

"Then, Mr. Daigman, have you ever listened to him? Said..."

"The name of the butcher hunter?"

"Or the name of Jettiskaki?"

Daigman was hearing this, and his expression froze for a moment.

“...”

However, after a few seconds of silence, he saw a blank look in his eyes again, and then he submitted to Ye Chen. negative answer.

"No, sorry, I've never heard of that either...but the mayor is definitely more experienced and knowledgeable than us poor people, maybe he can help you."

Ye Chen has this in mind.

"Where do I go to find the mayor?"

Daigman replied with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"The upper city of Sindu is also The city center."

"It's just that the place is strictly guarded by the guards, and ordinary citizens are not eligible to enter at all, even more how are we poor people living in slums..."

"If you trespass, you may even be shot by the guards, so it's an extremely dangerous area for us."

Ye Chen, however, said: It seemed very calm.

"It's okay, just knowing that is enough, so how do I get to that place? Are there any special buildings that can be used as counters?"

Daigman hesitated for a while , then gave the answer:

"The only big clock tower in the city stands in the center of the city."

"That building is so high that it can be said to be in any corner of the city. You can easily see it, as long as you follow the direction of the clock tower, you will eventually reach the mayor's site..."

"But, Ye Chen, it's really dangerous there, you It's not long before my body recovers, so there's no need to go now."

Ye Chen just replied:

"Well, I also know in advance, I really want to go. If you are looking for the mayor, you should naturally wait until your body recovers better to be safe."

"However, it is really unfortunate to continue to eat and live here for free. Now that I am awake, Then let me share some of the financial pressure for you."

"Mr. Daigman, can you introduce a place where I can work and make money, and by the way, let me walk around and exercise. ."

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Daigman was instantly refreshed.

"Oh, of course, of course!"

"I'm going to work at a construction site on the outskirts of the city later, if it's convenient for you, you can come with me!"

"It's just...you can just get out of bed and walk around now, and it's equally inappropriate to do all the heavy work all at once."

Ye Chen laughed.

"It's okay, these jobs don't put much pressure on me."

Daigman nodded suspiciously.

"By the way, when it comes to making money..."

Ye Chen suddenly thought of something, and then asked Daigman:

"Mr. Daigman, I want to see what your currency looks like here, okay?"

Daigman was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned and walked towards an unremarkable cupboard , took out a few copper coins from it, and then cautiously handed it to Ye Chen's hands.

Looking at the Copper Coin style in his hand, Ye Chen's eyes changed suddenly.

Although the surface of the Copper Coin is badly worn, Ye Chen can still see a mottled four-pointed star in its center!

And this is the most iconic symbol of holy light currency!

However, the shape of this four-pointed star and the surrounding decorative reliefs are different from the holy light Copper Coin in Ye Chen's perception...

Ye Chen held the Copper Coin, frowned and pondered for a while, and then suddenly recalled that he had seen this style of Copper Coin in history books in the past!

This is...

holy light Pure Land 19th century currency style!

There is a gap of more than a century from Ye Chen's era!

"Call..."
