Three Good Salary Kings Stand on the Ark

"Everybody has some secrets, don't they, Mr. José?"

Ashes was vague about Jose's temptation, after all it was too troublesome to explain.

"Ash, very handsome."

Skadi frankly spoke his heart out, and Ashes also responded with praise.

"You're beautiful too, Miss Skadi."

However, Old Jose couldn't stand it any longer, he waved his arms and started chasing people away. The two also said goodbye to him and prepared to leave for Yanfeng City.

Leaning on the door, Jose Sr. narrowed his eyes. He looked at the figures of the two leaving together through the lingering smoke.

"Be careful, that wilderness can eat people... But there is no need to worry about that young man."

Smiling, Jose Sr. flicked off the cigarette ash, turned around and entered the house.

--------

The deserted city is deserted and dead silent.

Threats are everywhere, but no one seems to be aware of them, they come, silent and deadly.

No one can escape fate, it is doomed...

Chapter 164 Full of Weird Cities, Invisible Children

Saltwind City.

Gloria told Skadi where Ashes was pointing to in the hunter's dream.

As Jose Sr. said, this is an abandoned city. It was abandoned by Iberia decades ago. There are no managers, no regulators, and it is left to fend for itself.

The once huge and glorious building is now dilapidated and decayed, with no trace of its former glory. The sky is also shrouded in dark clouds. It has not seen the sun for a long time.

Ashes and Skadi finally set foot on this land.

But at this time, the two changed their costumes again.

Skadi is still wearing the gorgeous red dress with a bit of charm, but she is holding a harp in her hand, which was given to Skadi by the old Jose who caught up with them. After all, Skadi's current identity is How can a singer not have a portable instrument?

What is also noteworthy is that she is carrying a huge box in her other hand, almost as tall as a person, bound by two straps.This is the crystallization of the engineering department that was urgently shipped over from Rhodes Island.

Subconsciously carrying the suitcase, Skadi just wanted to put the suitcase on his shoulder like a big sword, but then remembered that he was a wandering singer now, so he could only obediently put the suitcase down.

Ashes, on the other hand, changed from the beginning to the end.

After bypassing the Iberian Defense Force, he replaced the Outlander suit, which appeared in less than half a chapter. Although it was comfortable to wear, it was not suitable for combat.

Now he was wearing a different suit.

The whole body is black in tone, and the deep texture of the leather restrains Ashes' usual gentle temperament. A long windbreaker perfectly shows Ashes' tall and straight figure, and the lower end of the skirt representing a strong man has slight signs of damage.

Inside is a same black vest, with a belt running diagonally down to the waist on the left hand side, and the metal buckle is a bit cold.

There were dark decorations on leather gloves and leather boots, and a shawl slipped from the shoulders, covering the entire upper arm.

Ashes also wore a peaked hat on his head, the brim of the hat was slightly lowered, covering his face with a layer of shadow.

Originally, there was a scarf that covered the nose and mouth, but Ashes didn't wear it.

Hunter suit, the clothes Ashes wears most in Yharnam, it is also enough to represent the overall image of the hunter.

Cold, chilling, cold and ruthless.

Looking at the gradually enlarged dilapidated city in his field of vision, a gust of salty wind blew over, caressing their skins.

Iberia is a city near the sea, and Yanfeng City is naturally a city by the sea. They are born with a vastness that land people have never recognized.

But unfortunately, it ended up with a decaying result.

Ashes raised the brim of his hat, sniffed the sea breeze, and frowned.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something abnormal in the city in front of him, but he couldn't tell, the feeling was too weak, and he even wondered if he felt wrong.

His eyes stared straight at Yanfeng City, and there seemed to be something surging in the thick clouds covering the sky, but when he looked closely, everything was as usual.

【This city is weird】

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing Ashes beside her with a strange expression, Skadi asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little weird here, I have a hunch. It seems that this operation will not be too smooth."

"so."

Skadi also looked away, and she seemed to sense something deep in her body, and her blood began to stir slightly.

"That's no big deal. If there is danger, solve it, and if there is difficulty, ask for help. You will walk with me, won't you?"

She smiled slightly, her silver hair tied into two strands fluttered with the sea breeze, and her red dress was billowing, as beautiful as a picture.

"That's right, let's go, go and bring the ghost shark back." Ashes also responded with a smile.

"Ah."

The two walked shoulder to shoulder, the unknown front was waiting for them, but the so-called hunters never fear the front.

Inside Saltwind City——

Just like the outside, the inside of the city is also lifeless.The dark streets, the dark houses, everything seems to be shrouded in a somewhat hazy gray, lifeless.

Fortunately, there are still people here. Some people stay on the street, standing or sitting, their expressions are dull, their clothes are old, some are alone, some are in twos or two.

But the strange thing is that none of them spoke. They were very close to each other, but they were silent like dumb.

Not one or two, but almost the whole street.

An eerie silence enveloped the place.

Ashes and Skadi looked at each other, they both sensed something was wrong here.

Asking Skadi to stay where she was and wait, Ashes decided to take the initiative and stepped forward to inquire.

"excuse me..."

He spoke to a resident who was on his way with his head bowed, but that person didn't even raise his head, and just ignored Ashes' words and walked away.

Withdrawing the hand that was frozen in the air, Ashes found someone to ask again, but the same result.

Even if they were looking for those residents who were sitting on the side of the road in a daze, they still didn't say a word.

Fortunately, Ashes finally found someone who could speak out, but unfortunately, his attitude seemed to be so unfriendly.

"Outlander, get out of our city!"

Seeing the man baring his teeth, Ashes had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Back to Skadi, Ashes shrugged, expressing that he was helpless.

"The people here are a little strange. They seem to refuse to communicate. They clearly saw me but were unwilling to respond."

"Well, it's really strange here. We don't know what happened here. Mr. Jose said that it has been abandoned by the government for decades at least. It's not surprising what happened here."

Skadi is also a little discouraged. If she is outside, she has plenty of ways to make people speak, but this group of people are like idiots, and I am afraid they will not be able to say anything.

"Go for a walk around, maybe you can gain something."

Since they couldn't get information from the residents here, the two also decided to wander around, maybe they could gain something new.

Skadi is walking in the street with a harp and a box in her arms. The gorgeous red dress is blooming like flowers. The bright red that is different from this dark world flows on the street, and the ashes are perfectly integrated here. The hunter suit gently covered up his previous sunshine.

As they walked, footsteps came from behind the two of them. It wasn't loud, but the rhythm was fast. It sounded like the footsteps of children.

Are there any children here too?

With such doubts, Ashes and Skadi looked back, but both of them were taken aback.

There was nothing on the street behind them, only the bleak wind was blowing, but the footsteps still didn't stop, they were pattering.

And it's getting closer.

This scene can be called weird, like an invisible child running towards the two of them.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

"Ah... woo..."

The immature voice of a child resounded out of nowhere on the street, it seemed to see Ashes and Skadi watching it.

The footsteps sounded again, this time its sound gradually faded away.

it is running.

"Did you see that?"

"No."

The two looked at each other, and immediately set off to chase after the footsteps.

Children who cannot be seen but really exist, if it is put on Terra, it can basically become a fairly widespread strange talk, but Ashes can't just regard it as an illusion or other supernatural phenomena.

Ashes had seen similar infants who could not see but could only hear voices.

One is Osloes, the former king of Lothric, who was obsessed with the son of the dragon, Ocelot, who was transformed into a dragon.

And the other is the high-ranking person whom I met in my dream, Mei Gao.

Either way, it's a bad sign.

Ashes' eyes turned cold, did those guys come too?

Following the voice, the two turned around and came to a slightly dilapidated house, but it was still intact, with a closed door.

A slight sound came from the house, it seemed that the invisible child had escaped here.

Skadi stepped forward first, and smashed the clumsy trap set on the ground with one kick. The red skirt flew up, and she kicked the closed door open with one kick, bringing up waves of dust.

Skadi carried the box and walked in first, followed by Ashes. The room was almost filled with shadows, and the door kicked open by Skadi brought in some faint light, reflecting on the two of them.

After glancing at the dark corner of the room, Ashes spoke.

"Those who are hiding, please come out and tell me, I don't want to use some bad methods."
