My Maid Knight

2022-03-09/p> Chapter 34 Underground City

Roy miscalculated.

He didn’t expect Underground City to have such a bad reputation.

It is synonymous with crime and gray industry. If urban people want to go to Underground City to “gather the wind”, there is almost no probability other than doing those things.

“Anyway, you misunderstood.” He sighed.

There is also a budding maid waiting for him at home, and he is not so hungry yet.

Fortunately, in the end, Elena believed him and walked out of the cubicle with him.

What if you don’t believe it? Once they offend the master of Upper City, they have a way to rectify her.

She has no choice.

“Squeak–“

At this moment, a brawny man walked in through the door.

His height is at least two meters three or more, and he needs to bow his head and bend down even to enter the door. He was very thick and stocky, with dark scales and a mace on his back.

“Dad, I’m on a mission, it may take a few days to come back.” The brawny man looked at Green and said in a low, muffled voice.

“Just a moment, please.” Roy looked up.

This brawny man is blocking the door, like a mountain, just standing gives a huge oppression.

brawny man looked towards Roy and Elena, wondering, “Where is this going?”

This sentence was addressed to Elena.

“Ah…Mister Luo is a guest of Upper City, and I’m not very familiar with this place. I’ll show him the way.”

Elena replied quickly, and omitted The keyword Underground City.

This brawny man named Bob, the son of Green Boss, is also a mercenary who treats Elena like his biological younger sister.

She didn’t want Bob to worry.

“People from Upper City?”

Bob coldly snorted, pointing his index finger at Roy, “No matter where you are, come here, and follow the rules here. , if you dare to touch a single hair of Elena, I have designated you to have no good juice to eat, remember!”

Roy frowned.

“What are you doing, Bob!” Green ran over quickly, his face pale with fright, “Are you crazy? He’s a newspaper reporter, hurry up and apologize to Mister Luo!”

People who can live in Upper City are either rich or expensive, and they are definitely not something that ordinary people like them can afford.

“It’s fine.” Roy rubbed his face and quelled the fire in his heart.

Suddenly being pointed at the head by a stranger is certainly annoying, but he understands Bob’s desire to protect Elena.

The two walked out of the funeral home amid Green’s repeated apologies.

“Looks like he’s been nice to you,” Roy said casually.

Elena glanced at him cautiously, she didn’t get angry, she relaxed: “He is like my big brother, I will explain to him when I go back, he misunderstood you, just now. I’m really sorry!”

Roy waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t care: “Look at his outfit, he’s a mercenary? But I heard Green Boss say before that he doesn’t seem to like mercenaries. The profession of soldier.”

“Boss thinks that being a mercenary is too dangerous, and he hopes that Bob’s big brother can inherit the funeral home. But Bob’s big brother doesn’t listen and runs outside the wall every day.” Ai Linna replied.

Inheriting a funeral home?

Roy imagined Bob carrying the coffin.

There doesn’t seem to be any sense of disobedience, but with such a strong figure, it’s really a pity not to be a warrior.

“Outside the wall…”

He looked at the city wall in the distance, “What’s going on outside the city wall?”

Irene Na tilted her head: “I heard that there are many ominous beasts outside. It is very dangerous, but there are also many opportunities. If you can find any treasure, or a mineral vein, then you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life.”

“That’s what Bob told you?”

“Well, he’s been in this business for several years, and he’s joined a big mercenary group, and that mercenary group has its own territory outside the wall. , sometimes he would be stationed there, and then he would not come back for days.”

As they spoke, the two had come to the entrance of Underground City.

Elena hesitated for a moment: “Well, Underground City is not as safe as the city. If you want to go to collect scenery, maybe you can find another guide or hire a bodyguard.”

Roy asked strangely, “Aren’t you my guide?”

“No, I just know the way.”

She hurriedly hooked the head, using her hands He gestured: “Guide, you can understand it as… a character who can get along in Underground City, when someone is looking for trouble, he can come forward to help you settle it.”

“Or you can directly Hire bodyguards so they don’t dare to trouble you.”

“so that’s how it is.” Roy nodded, “Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.”

As an inheritor, he is less than fifteen years old and already has a physical quality that surpasses that of an adult brawny man, and can use spiritual power and inheritance skills. No matter how many ordinary persons come, there is no threat to him.

The Underground City guards just glanced at their outfits, didn’t even ask for proof of residency, and happily let them go.

The entrances and exits to Underground City have always been wide entry and strict exit, mainly to prevent Underground City residents who do not have urban hukou and temporary pass from sneaking out to make trouble.

Roy walked into the entrance, the stairs that meandered downwards seemed impossible to see to the end, the light of the exit gradually faded away from them, and only the torches along the road flickered and dimmed.

This section of the road is not a long journey, but the dark and depressing atmosphere along the way makes people feel particularly difficult.

until they come down the last step.

Underground City is here.

Looking up is the dome that cannot see the sky. The “night sky” is dotted with scattered lights, illuminating this dark world dimly.

As far as the eye can see, all around are flat and low earth houses, even compared with Lower City, they are extremely backward.

The rubbish that no one cleans up is thrown on the side of the road, and there is always a strange smell in the air, as if something rotted and stinks.

Underground City does not distinguish between day and night. Along the way, he saw someone lying on the side of the road sleeping hu hu, and heard someone shouting excitedly in the distance.

This is the underground of Sidonia, no matter how high the screams can’t reach the ground, they can only echo over and over again in the empty and silent Underground City, making people feel that they have one’s hair stand on end.

Roy gets a little sulky and unbuttons the first few buttons of his shirt.

“Are you okay?”

He noticed something was wrong with Elena’s face.

“No, I just… remembered the past.” Elena was a little lost.

She was born here, grew up here, and as long as she smells the Underground City, memories of the past will come flooding back.

She subconsciously looked west, where the largest red light district in Underground City lies.

It is also where she used to live.

Roy followed her eyes and looked towards the west: “Is that where you used to be?”

Home?

Elena lowered her head: “Yes…”

“Take me to see, what is that place?”

“Moongazer, um , a place to eat and drink merrily.”

“You stay there all the time?”

“I’m an orphan, adopted by Moongazer’s boss since I was a child, and there’s no place but here Let’s go.”

“Are there many orphans in Underground City?”

“A lot, because people here can’t afford children.”

Eileen Na took Roy around in Underground City, looking very familiar.

While passing through a dim alley, two young men with their shoulders and shoulders approached. They looked at Roy with malicious intentions, and hehe couldn’t help laughing lowly.

There is no more suitable robbery target than the young wealthy Young Lord, accompanied by a weak girl.

So, the moment they passed by, one of them suddenly sank his shoulders and slammed into Roy fiercely.

However, he bumped into a loneliness, and Roy turned sideways as if he was a prophet, and then took advantage of the situation and threw the man to the ground.

“Damn it!” Another young man, complexion sank, flashed a knife in his hand, and his attacking movements were extremely skilled.

It’s a habitual offender at a glance.

But he only felt saw a flash, his wrist was firmly clamped, and he let go of his hand uncontrollably.

With Moonshadow’s “Body Control” and Judge’s “Eye of Insight” by his side, even Qin Lu can’t take advantage of him in close combat, even more how these hooligan.

Roy took away the knife with no difficulty and knocked the young man down.

Then raised the knife and slashed at the man’s head with no expression on his face!

The tip of the blade, flashing with cold light, rapidly expanded in the youth’s pupils.

A light sound of “呲——”.

The knife penetrated the stone pavement against the young man’s face, and the blade wiped a bloodstain on his cheek.

“Don’t make trouble for yourself.”

Roy didn’t want to make trouble, he gave them a cold look, got up and left.

next moment, the knife disintegrated like sand, and collapsed into a pool of fragments in an instant.

Ordinary weapons cannot withstand the infusion of spiritual power.

It wasn’t until Roy and the others were far away that a young man got up with a dirty face and looked at the wreckage of the knife on the ground in fear.

“When did Underground City come out with this character…”

“Look at his clothes, he is from Underground City, and his style is different.”

p>

Another young man touched the bloodstains on his face, and his heart lingered, “How can even a prostitute be beaten like this these days?”

……

Corner , Roy glanced at Elena: “Is Underground City always so chaotic?”

After the episode just now, the girl didn’t show much panic, she seemed to be used to it.

Elena slowly nodded and said in a low voice, “Underground City is only guarded by the army at the cemetery, and most of the residential areas are like this.”

The cemetery…

Roy understood what she was referring to and looked away.

Different from the backward and dilapidated residential areas, in the center of Underground City, there is a bright and brilliant cemetery, like the heart of this underground giant beast, exuding a dive aura that is out of tune with the surroundings.

That’s the Hall of Valor Valhalla.

According to legend, Spiritual God empowers human beings, guides human beings to the World Tree, and conquers the World Tree. Every warrior who sacrifices in the process of conquering will become a heroic spirit and be buried here.

The placement of the undead and the construction of the Hall of Valor Valhalla was also the original intention of Sidonia Underground City.

The residential area on the side is the product of hastily expanded due to population problems, so compared with the splendid and majestic cemetery, it looks extremely gloomy and dilapidated.

In Underground City, the living don’t even live as well as the dead.

And most people will not be able to live in the Hall of Valor even if they die. Only inheritors and memorable people who have contributed to Sidonia are eligible to be buried there.

The periphery of the Hall of Valor is the cemetery facing the ordinary person,

But even so, to get your place there, you still need a lot of money.

For the poor residents of Underground City, even if they die, they are just burned to ashes and scattered in a dark corner of Underground City.

On a slightly better condition, a friend will help to put the ashes in a box and take them home, so that they can still have a memory.

They may spend their whole lives without ever seeing the sun on the surface.

…

Roy followed Elena’s directions around the lanes of Underground City.

Along the way, he saw a lot of harboring malicious intentions, and there were also a lot of scantily clad girls glaring at him.

And never saw a patrolman.

Underground City is not peaceful.

“Big brother, Big Brother…”

A few young calls made him slow down.

If it was the sweet and greasy business voice of an ordinary elder sister, of course he wouldn’t stop, but what caught his eye was an extremely dilapidated house, and inside the house stood a man dressed in gray. Little girl in shabby clothes.

A conscience told him that the child might need help, which made him stop unconsciously.

She looked only in her early ten years, and her old clothes were full of all kinds of stitches.

“Mother and I haven’t eaten for a few days.”

The little girl looked at Roy pitifully, “Can Big Brother give us some money and food? Mother and I will repay you!”

Roy reached for his wallet hesitantly.

It’s not for repayment, it’s just to give yourself peace of mind.

Otherwise, rejecting a girl who is so embarrassed will always feel uncomfortable, and he is not short of money now.

Elena quietly tugged at the corner of his shirt beside him: “Give her this.”

She handed a copper sol.

Roy suddenly realized that the minimum amount of money on his body was also silver sol, and such a large amount was not what a little girl in Underground City should have.

An innocent man treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime.

He took the Copper Coin and flicked his fingers.

The little girl spread her palm subconsciously, and the Copper Coin crossed a precise parabola and landed firmly in her hand.

“Thank you big brother, thank you big brother!”

The little girl hurriedly bent down to thank her. When she raised her head, Roy and the two had already walked away.

“What can a Copper Coin buy in Underground City?”

Roy curiously asked.

In Upper City, a Copper Coin can only buy a bowl of gruel, the kind that can be used as water.

“I can buy a large piece of bread.”

Elena thought for a while and said, “For two people, if you save some food, you should be fine for three days.”

“I remember that Underground City doesn’t have relief food?”

“Ah…that, the quota is limited, people without power, and those women and children, basically You can’t grab it.”

“Does the Moongazer you belong to belong to the forces of Underground City very difficult to deal with?”

“…Well.” Erin A flash of fear flashed in Na’s eyes.

After walking around the alley for a while, the front suddenly became clear.

The buildings here have been changed from the low and dilapidated ones before, obviously they have been carefully renovated and renovated, and more people gather here than before.

“That’s it.” She pursed her lips.

Roy looked up.

This should be the most stylish tavern in Underground City. At first glance, the luxury and style of the decoration almost made him think he was back in Upper City.

The boy at the door was also well-dressed and dressed to put on airs. He noticed Roy who was standing there, and after judging his spending power by observing his clothes and temperament, he walked up to him quickly.

“Sir, you are very good-looking, this is your first time visiting Underground City?”

“en?” Roy looked at him indifferently.

“Hey, your eyesight is so good, you fell in love with this place at a glance! We Moongazer is the best place in the Underground City, whether it’s to eat, drink or play, only the guests can’t think of it, There’s nothing we can’t be satisfied with! Why don’t you come in and have a seat, sir?”

“Okay.”

Roy casually nodded and walked towards the tavern.

Elena followed behind him step by step, bowing her head, trying to hide her face.

But there was only one way to the door, so of course the servant noticed the girl following Roy.

He took a closer look and said in surprise, “Daisy? Why are you here!”

Roy turned his head and said lightly, “This is my person.”

p>

The boy’s eyes flickered, he sent the two to the box of the tavern, and then whispered to the black clothed person in the tavern.

Roy and Elena took their seats, and immediately there were several girls of the same age and scantily clad as Elena to greet them.

They sat down to Roy’s side skillfully, chatting with him while laughing, the hot breath sprayed on his earlobe and neck intentionally or unintentionally, and the cheap perfume made him want to sneeze.

Elena sat cautiously across from him, the expression on her face hidden in a shadow.

Roy pushed away the woman beside him and said slowly: “Actually, you know why I’m looking for you, right?”

Elena’s body trembled slightly.

She looked at the escort girl beside Roy, as if she had seen herself.

She still remembers being beaten up by the prostitute for failing to please her guests.

She still remembers how many times she stared at the dome of Underground City in a daze, thinking about when she would be able to get out in the sun.

She still remembers being vomited and then being pulled up in a daze before getting ready for the next drinking round.

Because of this, she cherishes her life very much.

Find a formal job in the city.

Have a healthy routine that works at sunrise and rests at sunset.

There are people who care about her like family.

Things that she never dared to dream of are now being realized one after another, but she is afraid that she will be like a Cinderella, and she will be beaten back to her original shape as soon as midnight arrives.

When she returned to Moongazer, she felt like she was back in the past, and living in the city seemed like a flash in the pan.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Roy said slowly, “You just need to answer my questions, and I’ll take care of sending you back.”

She lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders, and whispered: “What do you want to ask, I will answer you.”

Roy leaned forward and stared at her: “I am half I came from the slave trafficking case that happened a month ago, and you are one of the slaves who were sold to Upper City.”

“I thought you were the victim of this case too, but you came to Underground. After City, I suddenly understood one thing, in fact, you also really want to leave this ghost place, right?”

“Elena, did you volunteer to be a “slave”? ”

Two-in-one 5,000-word chapter, I won a graphic tweet next week, it’s getting better, everyone!
