Li Kun thought Duan Cheng was right, "The key to the two missions still lies in the gems. It's a pity that communication devices cannot be used in the fairy tale world. Otherwise, the situation in Moon City can be found out in advance."
Now there are two key points to clear the mission, one is in Gem City and the other is in Moon City. In seven days, if you go to Moon City, you will basically give up the first mission.
"Then you have to find an honest way to enter the castle," Yan Jiayu said: "If you sneak in secretly, you will definitely be chased and beaten."
"Is there any news about recruitment in the castle?" Xu Huo said: "The fresh vegetables and fruits delivered to the castle every day should also be a channel."
"This is a way, but it's a bit time-consuming." Duan Cheng nodded. The key is that they can't directly replace the people who come in and out of the castle. If they want to get in among these people, they have to build a good relationship with the residents.
"I didn't expect that one day I would have to find a job in a fairy tale world." Li Kun said with emotion.
"Aren't you bounty hunters?" Yan Jiayu asked, "You don't have to follow others to catch thieves during the day?"
"The premise is to have information about the gems and thieves." Duan Cheng glanced at her.
"Didn't there be three thieves last night?" Yan Jiayu said matter-of-factly: "If we catch the thieves who broke into the castle, can they also enter the castle openly?"
Li Kun and Duan Cheng looked at each other and felt that it made sense.
However, this is also uncertain. After all, according to the information they had heard before, those players who brought the "thieves" and gems were not able to enter the castle.
"At least that person broke into the castle last night and must have taken something out. Even if it wasn't the gem from before, everything else was stolen." Yan Jiayu said firmly.
"Are you also going to arrest people?" Duan Cheng asked Xu Huo.
"Split up the action," Xu Huo said: "We have a performance at night, and we have to prepare things during the day. If we can't catch the players from last night or can't pretend to be a delivery vendor and enter the castle, this is also a preparation. Maybe the king will think
Watch a circus show from out of town."
Although they think this possibility is very small, and even if it succeeds, it will probably take more than half of the time to clear the customs, Duan Cheng and Li Kun have no objection, because there is no loss for them. If Xu Huo's road is really open, they will
All you have to do is pretend to be a circus member and follow him into the castle, which saves you a lot of trouble.
After discussion and final decision, Xu Huo went to purchase items according to the original plan, Yan Jiayu and Duan Cheng went to hunt down the players last night, and Li Kun went to find a job.
The four of them separated on the street. Xu Huo followed the map given by the people in Gem City and bought a cart in advance to place the purchased items. In order to make the evening performance look more reasonable, Xu Huo bought dolls and stuffed toys.
He also added a few things like windmills that children often play with.
Although the residents of Gem City had already gone about their normal lives during the day, the focus of the conversation was still the thief last night. Xu Huo listened while walking, and would stop to chat from time to time while shopping.
"Why are so many thieves coming in and out recently, and even breaking into the castle? Could it be that there are bad guys in the castle?" Xu Huo asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, the residents who heard this laughed and said, "It is absolutely impossible for a criminal to hide in the castle. When he commits a crime, he is marked as a criminal and everyone can recognize him at a glance."
As for how they could tell, they were vague. However, this ambiguity was not because of deliberate concealment, but because they believed that "identifying criminals at a glance" was a matter of course, just like they could tell at a glance who the person standing in front of them was.
Are you a native of Gem City or a foreigner?
"Did the thief escape outside the city?" Xu Huo asked again.
The people of Gem City also had the same worries and said: "If they escape outside the city, they cannot be punished."
"That's right," someone else said, "People who have committed crimes can no longer enter the city, and lost things can never be found again."
"As long as the criminals can be kept out," the residents were good at comforting themselves, and soon there were smiles on their faces again, and they said with admiration: "Gem City has always been so peaceful."
Xu Huo pushed the trolley to the next place. Here he met a merchant who had been to Moon City and asked if the escaped criminals would go to Moon City and bring danger to Moon City.
Vendors obviously also have such worries, because Moon City and Gem City have different laws for treating criminals. Although the final consequences of crimes are execution, after the new king of Moon City came to the throne last year, he abolished some "criminal acts", such as not
Carelessly entering other people's houses, accidentally trampling on other people's flowers or whipping animals.
Especially regarding the whipping of animals, the vendor seemed very angry: "Animals are good friends of humans. If they turn back on their owners, there must be a special reason. How can you beat them randomly!"
Please note that there are only two concepts of animals in Gem City. One is poultry, which is specially raised for food, and the other is livestock that is used half as pets and half as labor. The vendors are talking about the latter type.
As for others, such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants, they are generally only found in the wild. People in the dungeon world view them the same as the outside world.
From this point, we can see that Gem City has clear standards for good and evil, and no one can cross the middle line.
Naturally, when it comes to this, we may have to talk about children. In fairy tales, children will always do something that violates the rules because of their innocence. Even if they receive education, it will take a certain amount of time. This dungeon world is not like Platinum Eyes.
That way, robots can be used for all-round protection, so they made a concession, that is, children who violate rules before they reach a certain age will not be regarded as crimes, including murder.
Of course, children in the fairy tale world are not bad enough to kill people. The most common ones are just sneaking into other people's houses to play, secretly taking away adults' things, or telling lies to deceive others - these usually do not have serious consequences.
Then when they reach the specified age, the children have learned from the adults what they can do and what is criminal, and then they officially enter a new stage and become one of the guardians of the rules.
The amazing thing is that the laws of Gem City are not public, and the only legal document is in the King's Castle.
In other words, Gem City will not take the initiative to tell outsiders what behaviors are crimes, and there is no way for outsiders to learn what they are not allowed to do. But once a crime is committed, everyone will know that someone has committed a crime, and they will only write it when they are executed.
come out.
"A person with a sound mind knows very well what behavior is allowed and what behavior is infringing upon others. There is no need to write it down in black and white." The store owner said to Xu Huo with a smile.
