"Perhaps it's because it's daytime," Jilunini added, "although I don't know if there is a difference between day and night for them."
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out," Yayin said, dispelling the sunlight spell, and took the lead in walking towards the direction where Mowente was looking.
Earthwalkers generally hate warm light, and it would be a bit impolite to continue to use solar lighting when walking in their cities.
When Liu Ji saw this, he quickly followed.
Aosa glanced at her backpack.
The little potatoes were still in a state of unconsciousness or pretending to be dead, with no intention of waking up.
Sighing, Osa carried Jilunini and followed the pace of the two.
"Um...what the hell," Jilunini scratched her head, "Actually, you can already put me down."
"It doesn't matter, you're not heavy," Ao Sa didn't care much. "You can just be aware of your surroundings, sit high and see far."
"Well, that's okay..."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a movement behind them.
Turning his head, he saw that Mowente had gone somewhere, leaving Callidora looking at them helplessly.
"Huh?" Ao Sa blinked, "He plans to walk in the dark alone again?"
"Yes," Callidora said with a wry smile, "when there were a little too many people in the team, he wanted to go out and swim again."
"Hey, it's expected," Gironini shrugged, "Let him go, he's good at this."
Callidora smiled helplessly, and could only take steps forward, following the others towards the direction of the tavern.
At this time, Ya Yin, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.
She looked left and right, then frowned.
"What's wrong?" Liu Ji followed up and asked.
"Something's wrong," Yayin whispered, "It's strange, why are there only children on the street besides old people?
Moreover, why are these children so much prettier than the other? "
63. Fourth update: Is this a pub or an elderly activity center?
Yayin's words made Liu Ji confused.
He looked left and right, up and down, but he couldn't see how beautiful these little things on the street with small eyes, big noses, stooped bodies, and hands covered with a thick layer of carapace were.
If you ask him to evaluate it, he will probably just think that these little unique things look real...
But Yayin said that these children are really beautiful in appearance. As a member of the Earthwalker clan, not only are they all handsome boys and pretty girls, at least none of them can be called ugly.
This is very unusual.
Because Earthwalkers live underground all year round, their eyesight is much weaker than that of other races. They mainly rely on hearing and smell to move, and they almost never consider appearance when choosing a partner. Therefore, most people's impressions of Earthwalkers are that they "look good anyway." If you don’t see it, it will grow as long as you like.”
The result is that, generally speaking, among the three earth walkers, there must be one who is too ugly to look at.
"Could it be that the landwalkers on this side of the desert are more particular?" Ya Yin couldn't help but think so.
But on the other hand, it’s also very strange. There are quite a few children on the street, but why can’t we see any young adults?
Are they all working as social animals?
No, this place is so dilapidated, why is the work so stressful?
"Don't think too much, let's look for information about other people first." At this time, Ao Sa and others also followed, "I didn't find any other outsiders here. If Snow and the others have been here before, they should It will be very conspicuous.”
"Well, that's all we can do," Yayin nodded, "Huh? Where's Mo Wente? Are you going to be a lone ranger again?"
"Yeah, leave him alone, maybe he will come back with some good news soon," Ao Sa said, then opened the door and entered the tavern.
As soon as he, a big man, entered the door, the noisy tavern suddenly became quiet.
Looking up, the entire tavern was filled with old Land Walkers playing chess. Those who didn't know it thought they had entered a senior citizen activity center.
Although it was a tavern, there was no smell of alcohol at all in the whole room. The table was filled with steaming water, which looked very healthy.
Aosa looked around and almost blurted out, "Sorry to bother you."
He had never seen a tavern with such an atmosphere in his life, and it was hard to get used to it.
Just when he was in a daze, the old landwalker behind the counter rang the bell, attracting his attention.
"Hello, guest from outside," the old Di Xingzhe said with a smile, his voice full of vicissitudes of life, but very energetic, "Come and sit, there is still room here."
"Ah, okay," Ao Sa scratched his head, said something to Yayin and the others behind him, and immediately walked into the tavern.
As they entered the tavern, the surrounding Landwalker uncles also began to whisper, seeming to be very surprised by their arrival.
A few people sat down at an empty table at the end of the tavern, and the old landwalker who looked like the manager also came over with menus and placed them on everyone's tables.
"Sorry, there haven't been outsiders here for a long time, and they are all a little curious," the old landwalker said with a smile, "Everything that can be found in the store is on the menu. Just tell me what you need, or Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Uh, old sir, before that, I want to ask a little bit," Yayin said, "What currency do you use for transactions here?"
"Currency? Oh, there are some places where crystal stones are used for transactions, but we don't need it here," the old Earth Walker said with a smile, "Anyway, the church will allocate funds to us, and usually the people who come here are old guys. Eat something, it’s just these things anyway, we haven’t charged for them for a long time.”
After listening to this, several people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Old sir, please forgive me..." Callidora said, "This should indeed be a tavern, right?"
"Well, yes," the old land traveler nodded, "It's a pity that because of insufficient food, wine has been sold in this city for a long time, so you can only make do with it."
"That's okay, but..." Osa scratched his head, "The young people here, uh, not the children, I mean, the young adults, don't they usually come to the tavern?"
"Young adults? Oh, hey, you don't know yet," the old landwalker said with a smile, "They are not in this city. Here, all the healthy young people will go to participate in the heroic competition when they reach adulthood. Guards, go to the front line and fight."
When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback.
"Both men and women must join the army?" Yayin frowned, "How long has this situation lasted?"
"It has been like this since the underground monsters invaded this city 300 years ago," the old Earthwalker sighed. "The church said that they were monsters from another world, and we have already fought against them. Hundreds of years.”
"Then, you are all people who survived the battlefield?" Ao Sa asked doubtfully.
"No, haha, most of us were sick at the time and couldn't go to the battlefield. We could only hide in this city and live a life of ease." Lao Dixing smiled at himself, said, and raised his His left hand, everyone discovered that the front end of his left hand was actually a wooden stick prosthesis.
"As for those heroes who went to the battlefield," Old Earth Walker shook his head, "They will all fight until the last moment of their lives. If they die, they will only die on the battlefield. This is their glory."
Everyone who was doing this looked at each other and frowned.
This rhetoric is really weird.
No veterans retired?Well, let's just assume that they would rather die than retreat, then there should be some wounded who are discharged, right?
After so many years of fighting, those who left had to die, and troops were constantly added to the fight, but this battle has no end?
No matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable.
and……
"What about the children in the city?" Jilunini frowned, "Where did they come from?"
"Of course they are all the descendants of our heroic warriors," the old landwalker said with a smile. "The church will pick up the descendants of the heroes who fell in love from the front line and send them back to the town. Therefore, everyone in the city has It is your duty to raise them,
Speaking of this, alas, there are some shameless losers in this city who form gangs in private and kidnap some children to help them dig for crystals.
What a race traitor, disgusting,
But it’s a coincidence that not long ago, a group of outsiders came here and smashed up the mines of those bastards..."
When everyone heard this, everyone's attention was instantly drawn back from other weird details.
"Those people!" Osa almost slammed the table with excitement. "Uh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask, do they have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics..." Old Earth Walker scratched his chin, "Because I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have only heard rumors. It seems that there are three people in total. The leader is a short man carrying a thick book. , the remaining two, one seems to be carrying a bow and arrow, and the other is carrying a sword and shield...
There are rumors behind me that the outsider with a bow and arrow seems to be still hanging around the mine. "
**. How do you know that gangsters are liars?
Liu Ji was a little confused.
He followed everyone into a restaurant, thinking he was going to have a meal, but his buttocks were not even hot. The group of people left in a hurry without knowing what they said to the boss.
But that didn't matter to him. The hotel looked like a senior citizen activity center. The old men next door had hard bread on their tables, which was nothing but boiled water. It looked uglier than the food they cooked on the road, and he wasn't very happy to eat it.
Following the crowd's trot, they ran directly out of the main city area.
Hmm... that area should probably be called the main city area.
After all, this city can still be called a city, only a few streets after coming down from the stairs. Going further out, there are dilapidated remains of old houses everywhere, and you can even see the collapsed ones in the better ones. The roof was so rotten that only a few pillars and a pile of rubbish were left.
Maybe this was once part of the city, but obviously, with the decline of the city, these places have been completely reduced to "suburbs."
Deep in the suburbs, gradually, some minecart tracks appeared on the road that were incompatible with these dilapidated buildings.
Although these tracks cannot be said to be very new or good, they are usable and still have traces of human maintenance.
Following the track, everyone saw a brightly lit mine pit in the distance near the stone wall.
Outside the mine, a woman who did not look like an Earthwalker was sitting in front of the stove. She set up a large pot and seemed to be making a fire to cook something.
Near her, a bunch of Earthwalker children were running, jumping and playing some kind of courtyard game.
Seeing the woman from a distance, Jilunini shouted in surprise: "It's Guoguo! That's great! She's fine!"
And Ao Sa directly raised his hands, waving and shouting loudly: "Hey! Guo Guo! Can you hear me!"
His loud voice was particularly noticeable in the quiet underground. When the woman in the distance heard their voices, she suddenly raised her head and looked over.
Then as if he couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes and looked over again.
The next moment, she jumped up like a cat frightened by cucumbers, purred, and came towards the crowd.
Aossa opened his hands and with a smile on his face, he planned to give his long-awaited partner a big hug.
However, when the opponent ran closer, he passed directly under his armpit and threw himself into Yayin's arms.
"Xiao Yayin! Woohoo, great! You are all fine!" She shouted while rubbing her head against Yayin.
Osa on the side was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, feeling like he had nowhere to put his hands.
Ji Lunini, who was sitting on his shoulder, laughed out loud, stretched out her hand to rub Ao Sa's ears, and teased: "You too, it's not like you don't know how sticky Guo Guo is, so don't be embarrassed now. Alright."
"Ah ha, what a big deal," Ao Sa shrugged, "As long as she's fine."
"Okay Guoguo! Of course we will be fine," Yayin had just managed to break free from Guoguo's clutches, grabbing her head and stroking her, "By the way, is there anyone else with you?"
"Xue Nuo and Wei Luo were with me before," Guo Guo wiped the excited tears from her eyes, "but now I'm the only one left here."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yayin was stunned, "Where did they go?"
"The two of them..." Guoguo scratched her cheek, "I have been worried about this matter recently. When we came here, we got information that there was an army from another world underground nearby."
"Yeah, I know," Yayin frowned, "You mean they went to investigate?"
"Yes," Guoguo nodded, "They were worried that they had something to do with the tyrant, so they planned to go find out about the situation, but they haven't come back yet. I'm worried whether they..."
At this point, Guoguo bit her lip and whispered: "It's all my fault, I should have stopped them..."
"No, I don't blame you. If you can stop those two people, you'll have trouble." Yayin sighed, "Besides, it's not so easy for them to get into trouble. They'll probably run into some kind of trouble. Tsk, yes. Find a way to contact them..."
While a few people were talking, the little earthwalkers who were playing in front of the mine also ran over, gathered together curiously, and looked at Ya Yin and others.
For those who have stayed here without going out, Yayin and the others are a group of outsiders of all kinds, which makes them very curious.
"Guoguo? What's going on with these kids?" Ao Sa asked.
"Ah, they are child laborers that Snow rescued from the mine," Guoguo said. "This place was previously controlled by some gang. When Snow was investigating, he killed them all. Then he went to investigate the situation again, and the result was It’s up to me to stay and take care of them..."
"Huh? I remember, didn't the previous boss say that the church would take care of them?" Gironini interjected, "Why don't you send them to the church?"
"Well, I've thought about it too, but..." Guoguo scratched her head and looked at the group of children with some helplessness, "Those gangsters seem to have been telling them that if the church catches them, they will be eaten. , although I know this is to scare children, but they all seem to think so..."
At this moment, a sudden voice interrupted Guoguo.
"No, it's a pity. This is not necessarily to scare children," Mowente appeared out of nowhere and nodded to Guoguo, "Miss Guomimona, I'm glad to see you're okay."
"Ah, well, Mr. Mowente, I'm glad to see you again..." Guoguo said this and shrank behind Yayin for some reason, as if she was a little afraid of Mowente.
"Went, what do you mean by what you just said?" Ossa interrupted, "What's not to scare children?"
"Hmm..." Mowente glanced at the Earthwalker kid beside him, thought for a moment, and said in dragon language, "The gangsters said that the church can eat people. It may be true."
