Chapter 29 Outer City

"That guy..."

Chen Lun pondered and thought.

I had never heard of Alex's name in my previous life. He should be just an ordinary bard. But when he called out his pseudonym, he always felt something was wrong.

Pointing his head out from the window of the carriage and looking back, there was no sign of Alex on the avenue.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Floy felt Chen Lun's emotions and asked.

Chen Lun sat back and shook his head silently, then added:

"Nothing, I just met a strange guy."

Floy didn't ask, so he changed the topic:

"Are you going to your destination tomorrow?"

"Well... I'll be in Amber City tomorrow."

Chen Lun no longer thought about it. The most important task at the moment was to find Dori in Amber City and obtain [high-sequence flesh-and-blood faction mysterious substance] from him to maintain the pollution balance on Floy.

While completing the third ring of the hidden mission, I hope to find [Philip's Legacy].

These are all helps that can improve his strength.

Some expectations in my heart are more about the prospects for the future—

Be stronger and gain a foothold!

Before the 1.0 version public beta players arrive, they have strong enough strength to reach a certain level. Only in this way can Chen Lun have a sufficient sense of security.

Losing the unique panel of the player, he actually doesn't know whether he can still come back from the dead. Although he is an NPC, he also retains the ability to receive tasks and view item information...

But he dared not gamble on resurrection, a privilege that only players have.

There is only one life.

...

Amber City.

This metropolis in the eastern part of the empire is much more developed and prosperous than the small place on the edge of Jade Town, and it covers a very wide area.

According to the administrative division of the entire continent, one empire and three subordinate kingdoms.

Not counting other small countries that have become kings, except for Tourmaline Royal City, the Cuisour Empire has six countries below.

There are ten cities under each country.

Each city is composed of the main city, seventy-two cities and countless small towns.

Amber City is the most popular metropolis among the seventy-two cities of Gemban Fossil City, and is named after culture, nature and art.

As the carriage gradually approached Amber City, the main road of the gravel road gradually became neatly paved stone roads. There were square stone pillars and black iron-core street lights on both sides of the road.

Whenever night falls, people will come to light kerosene and open all night.

Tap and tap...

The carriage drove slowly.

The tall city walls in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the sides leading to the city gate were densely packed with low bungalows.

"It's the taste of stewed beans..."

Floy lifted the curtain, sniffed it with his small nose, and said softly.

Floy is very familiar with this taste because she often ate it when she was a child.

Chen Lun was sitting in the carriage and could see many women wearing cloths and headscarves cooking and washing rice. They were working at the door of their small houses. From time to time, a few children were playing around them, and then shuttled through the densely packed houses around them.

"Their men will most likely go to the city to work during the day, and then leave the city and go home after work."

At this time, Walsh, who was driving the carriage, spoke.

Chen Lun was also very clear about this. The civilians living here were all poor families who were not qualified to live in the city.

They are also an indispensable part of maintaining the operation of Amber City.

Among the people who were preparing to enter the city, there were many carriages. But there were more passers-by carrying bags and vendors carrying baskets to sell fresh fruits and vegetables.

Walsh showed caravan certificates and 5 bronze crore per person to enter the city, and several imperial soldiers waved to let go.

Through the long city gate passage, in the dim environment, Chen Lun could see the walls full of notices and wanted orders. However, most of them were yellowed and damaged due to time erosion, and because no one cleaned them, they continued to stack each other and a thick layer was accumulated.

Soon, the noise around him suddenly came to his ears.

Entering the city is the real entry into Amber City. This place and the outside are two worlds.

The carriage slowly drove by with the bells, the newspaper boys running and selling cigarettes and newspapers, the vendors setting up stalls in the huge square, and the monks who preached loudly.

Floy seemed very excited and kept listening to the voice of the new world. Only at this moment did she show the image of a girl she deserved at this age.

"His Excellency Jack, the destination has arrived."

Walsh made a sound reminder.

The carriage quickly stopped in front of a three-story building, which was the location of the Yinlong Chamber of Commerce in Amber City. But this is not the inner city area. Although there is another branch in the inner city area, Chen Lun asked to stop here.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go to the inner city, but that it’s where the powerful and wealthy people are located, and the public security is quite strict.

With Chen Lun's current black household, and with a Floy who needs care, he is hard to move forward there.

So he planned to settle in the outer city first and make some plans for the time being.

"Thank you, Uncle Walsh."

Chen Lun got off the carriage first, then turned around and handed it, but he suddenly remembered that Floy was not really blind.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Floy's little hand was put on first.

Chen Lun was slightly stunned.

Floy gave him a sweet smile.

"His Excellency Jack is such an admirable brother."

Walsh took off his round hat and stretched out his big hand.

"This commission for our Yinlong Chamber of Commerce has been successfully completed, and the cooperation is pleasant. I hope I can share your worries next time."

“Happy cooperation.”

Chen Lun stretched out his other hand and held him.

Walsh suddenly felt a little cold in his palm.

When you open it, you will see two gold pounds.

"My Excellency Jack, this..."

"It's a tip for you. There is a guard who is injured by my brother and sister. I feel very guilty...

OK, see you again, Uncle Walsh.”

Walsh looked up and saw that the young man had taken Miss Floy away.

He couldn't help but sigh that Lord Jack was such a generous gentleman.

I haven't added money yet.

...

The two walked a long way along the street.

Chen Lun originally wanted to let go of Floy's hand, but failed.

Floy's little hand was tightly pulled, and she leaned closer and said in a low voice:

"Isn't it very eye-catching if a blind girl is not held by anyone?"

"Hmm...? It seems to be too."

So Chen Lun stopped worrying about this and began to look at the surrounding environment to see where to stay.

Soon he saw a notice for renting a house at the entrance of a flower shop.

Chen Lun held Floy and stopped in front of the notice, noting that there was an iron plate embedded on the wall.

7 Denton Street.

After looking at the rental notice for a while, his eyes passed through the glass window of the flower shop next to him and placed it on a woman in the store.

After passing through a pot of flowers of various colors, an elderly and gray-haired woman was carefully caring for the flowers in the store.

Twist...

The glass was knocked twice.

The lady turned her head and showed a kind face. Although there were wrinkles on her face, her traces of her former beauty could still be seen.

When she saw the young man holding two blind girls, she smiled and waved her hands, and made a lip shaped:

"Come in, kid."
