I saw that this person was a young man who looked fairly young. His thin figure was like a walking corpse at this time, and his clothes were ragged, which looked a little scary.
The sharp-edged face was also full of distress, as if something had happened in his heart that made it difficult for him to breathe.
When Lu Xihua and the three looked over, the man also sensed that there was someone in front of him. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the three of them, his bewildered eyes gradually regained clarity.
"Are you... from outside?"
Looking at the exquisite clothes worn by the three of them, the young man could figure out their identities, but his expression was surprised.
"Yes, I just entered the city yesterday." Lu Xihua replied.
The young man glanced at the three of them, and was extremely puzzled what such a group of people were doing in the slum.
"Are you adventurers?"
"As you can see." Lamo pointed to the saber on his waist.
Seeing Lamo nodding his head in recognition, the young man's dull eyes suddenly burst out with a dazzling light of hope!
"A real adventurer... a real adventurer..."
The young man kept mumbling in surprise, and before Lu Xihua and the others finished thinking, he rushed directly in front of the former, knelt down and hugged Lu Xihua's thigh, and said: "Master adventurer! Please save my wife! Please save my wife!"
"???"
The sudden action of the young man directly stunned Lu Xihua and the others.
what's the situation?
When I came up, I was hugged by the thigh!
Especially Lu Xihua, when someone hugged her thigh suddenly, goosebumps all over her body instantly popped up like mushrooms after a rain.
"This gentleman, if you have something to say, it's not very good..."
Difuni came back to her senses, she saw the subtle expression on Lu Xihua's face, she understood immediately, and hurriedly walked to the side of the young man, stretched out her hand to help him up.
Because she was afraid that Lu Xihua would be unhappy, Diforni also used magic, she easily pulled the young man's hand away, and then helped him up.
Seeing that he was inexplicable, the young man let go of his hand, and the surprise on his face became more intense. He quickly bowed to the three of Lu Xihua and said, "Sorry, adventurer! I'm a little too excited!"
"it's okay no problem."
Lu Xihua waved his hand, indicating that the problem was not serious, and his expression returned to normal.
After comforting the young man, Diforney looked at him with a gentle smile, and his affinity broke out again: "Sir, you just said to save your wife, what happened?"
The young man slapped his head and said hastily: "It is such an adventurer, my wife went out to work two days ago and planned to subsidize the family.
Then she found a job in a restaurant to try food, as long as she tried their new dishes, she could get five thousand silver coins.
But after my wife finished eating, she suddenly vomited continuously when she came back at night, and then passed out, and she has been in a coma for two days now!And she's breathing less and less, almost...almost..."
The young man in the back couldn't speak anymore, because he was already in tears while talking.
However, Lu Xihua and the others understood the reason and process of the incident.
The wife of the young man must have taken poison.
Wiping his tears, the young man continued with a desolate expression: "I want to buy the recovery potion from the alchemy workshop, but we live in a slum and can't afford it at all. If this goes on, my wife and her...Master adventurer, I beg you ! Save my wife!"
"Even if you let me go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, I'm willing!"
After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred for his incompetence.
Seeing the desolate appearance of the young man who was about to kneel down to them, Lu Xihua and Diforni looked at each other, and the latter's eyes were full of unbearable, obviously he had been persuaded.
How could her character allow her to die without saving her life?
Seeing this, Lu Xihua nodded, and then said to the young man, "Let's go, take us to see your wife."
Hearing Lu Xihua's words, the young man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily, his face full of gratitude.
"Thank you! Thank you, adventurers! Please follow me!"
ps: It’s been a long time since I came out to talk to you. Today is New Year’s Day and the first day of the new year. Tingfeng hereby wishes all the old men every year and every year to have the present. In the new year, let go of the troubles and sorrows of the past. Just be happy and enjoy!Happy New Year's Day and New Year!
7. Deputy City Lord
After agreeing to the young man's request, Lu Xihua and the three of them stepped into the crumbling thatched cottages under his guidance.
On the way, Lu Xihua and the others also learned that the young man's name was Fei Jier, and he was not yet 30 years old. His wife was also the same age as him, and both of them were human beings.
According to Feigel, both he and his wife came from a small village in another country. They were childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they became husband and wife after they fell in love as adults.
But unfortunately, that country was involved in the war by other countries because of its weakness. During the war, their village was looted by bandits. And was killed by bandits.
Because I heard earlier that in the Vandolo Empire, people and sub-humans live in harmony, and the happiness index is overwhelming, so the two of them wandered all the way, and finally came to Yaxuan City with a small amount of money.
But unexpectedly, the three gold coins that entered the city already made the couple a little bit difficult.
They did have money, but it just happened to be three gold coins plus a few thousand silver coins, which was already a lot of savings for ordinary villagers like them.
Once all the three gold coins were handed over, the couple of thousand silver coins on their bodies would not last long at all.
But they have already come here, and it will take time and money to go back and forth again. Fei Jier and his wife just gritted their teeth and paid the entry fee.
But the reality is always cruel. After the two of them entered the city, they didn't feel the friendliness, happiness and stability of the real world, and only the demihumans treated human beings unfairly.
"Because demihumans treated humans differently, I couldn't find a job, I had no money to find a house, and I couldn't even afford a hotel. In the end, I had nowhere to go. My wife and I had to come to this slum to survive..."
Walking on the road and talking about his experience with his wife, Fei Geer looked very sad, and his eyes were full of despair.
The hidden cruelty of the Vandolo Empire made it impossible for them to resist.
"Mr. Figil..."
Seeing Feigil's desolate look, Diforni felt very sympathetic to his experience. At the same time, she also became more resentful towards this unequal treaty of the Vandolo Empire.
"Then why don't you leave here with your wife?"
Lu Xihua didn't have much feeling for this kind of thing, he was rather strange, since this country treats human beings so cruelly, why Feigil didn't leave here with his wife, but continued to live here in the slums.
Hearing this, Fei Jier had a look of sadness on his face, and he smiled wryly: "Of course we also thought about leaving, but you may not be aware that human beings in Yaxuan City need three gold coins to enter the city, and six gold coins to leave the city. "
"Six gold coins to go out of the city?!"
Figil's words made Difoni and La Mogu stunned, and both of them frowned in surprise.
"It's too much! This is clearly insulting us humans!"
Lamo didn't know why, but after hearing Feigil's words, his reaction was very strong. He grasped the handle of the knife around his waist, as if he wanted to reason with those demihumans.
Even a person with a gentle personality like Difuni was very annoyed after hearing such a situation, and her pretty cheeks were full of anger.
The look on Diforney's face was also very cold, and the emerald eyes were full of anger: "It's really too much. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is forcing people to stay here and accept oppression."
The amount of the city entry fee is almost unacceptable to most civilians and humans. After entering the city, I found that this place is not as good as imagined, and human beings are quite targeted.
As a result, if you want to go out of the city, you have to double the cost of leaving the city. This shows that you don't intend to let the humans who have entered the city go out again, so as to continue to bully and oppress the humans in the city.
I am afraid that this is also the reason why the Vandolo Empire can always maintain the illusion of harmony and beauty.
Because all human beings who are suffering from oppression cannot leave the city at all, and they cannot convey to the outside world the true cruelty and evil of Vandolo.
While talking, the four of them came to a brick house that looked "sturdier" than other houses.
From the looks of it, this is Fegil's home.
Fei Ji quickly adjusted his mood, and invited Lu Xihua and the others to go in: "Master adventurers, this is our home, please come in quickly."
Lu Xihua nodded, and the three followed Fei Gil into the house.
As soon as they entered the room, they were greeted with a damp and musty smell. The strong smell caught Diforney and Lamo off guard, and they subconsciously raised their hands to cover their noses.
As for Lu Xihua's own "standards", she didn't feel much about these things, and her face remained normal.
Seeing the reactions of Diforni and Lamo, Feigil said with regret on his face: "Sorry, Mr. Adventurer, the humble house is simple and dilapidated for a long time. Even if it is cleaned, it will not be able to clean up the smell..."
Hearing this, Diforney waved his hands again and again to indicate that it's okay: "It's okay, it doesn't matter."
As she said that, she put down her hand, and a spell that could be used to hold her breath for a long time was put on herself and Lamo.
By the way, she also set one for Fei Gil.
"This smell is too strong, and it will be harmful to your body after a long time. Let's avoid it for now, and I will help you deal with it after it is over."
"Thank you, Mr. Adventurer, thank you!" Feigil thanked quickly after hearing the words. With the breath-holding magic on his body, he really couldn't smell that smell anymore.
Gently smiling at him and nodding, Diforney turned to look into the room, and she also found that although the house was very dilapidated, most of the places were cleaned up very neatly by Fei Geer and his wife.
There are only some stubborn stains that "stand firm" and there is nothing they can do.
"Mr. Figil, which room is your wife in?"
"Here, here." Figir pointed to a room on the left, and quickly walked through it.
Following in Feigil's footsteps together, Diforney turned to look at Lu Xihua, pursed his lips and said, "Miss Lu Xihua, I'll leave it to you from now on."
"Ok?"
Hearing Difuni's words, Lu Xihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said to her: "What are you talking about, why do you ask me for such a thing, you are so polite to me."
It's just a low-level healing magic for Fei Gil's wife, and it doesn't even consume much magic power, so it's no big deal at all.
When Diforney heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face, her eyes were full of gratitude and she said, "Thank you, Miss Lu Xihua."
"Oh, I said you're welcome."
While speaking, the three of them followed Fei Gil into the room.
In the room, a young woman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her complexion as pale as paper, and her intermittent breathing was explaining that she didn't seem to be able to hold on for long.
Seeing this young woman, Fei Jier, a big man, once again had tears in his eyes. He hurried to the bedside and grabbed his wife's hand, calling her name softly.
However, the only response to him was the occasional sound of breathing and the pained face of his wife.
Seeing this scene, Diforney felt a little uncomfortable. She walked up to Feigil and said to him, "Mr. Feigil, please don't be sad. We will treat your wife right away, you get up first."
Hearing what she said, Fei Ji quickly wiped away his tears and stood up: "Thank you! Thank you, adventurers!"
Taking Fei Ji to the side, Diforni and Lu Xihua looked at each other, the latter understood, nodded and walked to the bed.
When she came to the bedside, Lu Xihua saw the young woman's painful appearance, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's okay, it's nothing serious, the third-level magic can cure it successfully."
Saying so, a little holy light appeared on his fingertips, and then, a small magic circle floated in front of the young woman.
For a moment, the holy light of healing filled the small and dilapidated room.
.....
Turning his gaze, he saw the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
Blair and Tsukimiya Kizuna were still sitting leisurely on the chairs, Seda was squatting on the ground unable to move, and pig-faced Sail was still lying on the ground dying, but he was not vomiting blood.
Everything remained the same as before, the only thing that changed was that not far from Blair, a handsome man with dragon horns was standing there looking at them.
This dragon-horned man looks quite domineering, and a kind of majesty that dominates the world lingers around him for no reason, and the explosive muscles coupled with that aura make him look quite majestic and domineering.
Looking at the little dragon man from a distance, Blair smiled at Seda who was squatting on the ground: "It seems that your rescue is here."
Hearing this, Seda moved his head vigorously, and just saw the dragon-horned man standing in the distance behind him.
The moment he saw Longjiaonan, a light flashed in his eyes, and he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Vice City Lord!"
Deputy mayor?
Blair was a little surprised when he heard this address.
In this place, even the deputy city lord is a level 600 adventurer, which is really rich.
But after thinking about it, he was relieved. There are many talents in the Vandolo Empire. The city lord Bernice is all level 643, and it is quite normal to have a deputy city lord who is more than 600 levels.
However, what interests him even more is the bloodline of the deputy city lord.
Looking at the dragon horns on his head, it is obviously the product of the union between dragons and humans. As for dragons, in Blair's memory, this race is like elves. .
Even their Seven Desire Demon Kings don't know where the Dragon Valley is hidden.
And this little dragon is obviously a product of the dragon family in recent decades, which made Blair an interesting thought.
While his thoughts were churning, the castellan moved his pace, and within a few steps, he stepped a dozen meters in front of Blair.
First, he glanced at Saier, who was lying dead on the ground, and Saida, who was unable to move. The deputy city lord looked up at Blair expressionlessly and said, "What did you do?"
