"Dust-falling cloth? How could such a thing exist?"
After leaving the manor, Lu Li asked Catalina about the dust-falling cloth. She said she had never heard of it: "I haven't heard of it. Even if it exists, I don't think I can afford the price."
It was something made up again. When I thought that the fabric of the dust sheet was the same as the tarpaulin of the caravan, everything came to an answer.
"Let's go back to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern now." Catalina returned the same way, heading towards the lower town center. "The innkeeper knows how to get to Midnight City."
"You said you've been there." Lu Li said calmly.
"...When I was very young, I almost forgot." Catalina pretended to be normal.
"You said you experienced a strange nest when you were a child, and then fled to Tange Town."
"Okay, I'll tell the truth."
Embarrassed, Catalina had no choice but to reveal the truth: "I've only heard other people talk about it. Don't look at me like that. Bragging is very common among hunters. In order to look untouchable and sound powerful, every hunter has some
Half truths and half lies, things that can be used to brag, such as my title."
For the remote town of Tangge, deep in the dark wilderness, visiting Midnight City is indeed something worth bragging about.
"So you don't know what's going on in Midnight City?"
"...It's very prosperous there, just like the city in the old days." Catalina replied after a moment of silence.
So it's hard to tell whether it's because of Katarina's personality that she never interacts with other people, or because she can't answer when people ask her what Midnight City is like.
"This way, this way!"
A high-pitched shout suddenly came from the side. In the dark alley where sewage flowed, a two-headed puppet stood on a trash can and waved to Lu Li: "I found the treasure, come here quickly."
"Don't go, there are either corpses or strange faces inside, and don't ignore it, they will hate you for this, just find an excuse to refuse." Catalina's reminder rang in her ears.
Lu Li did as he was told, covering his nose and answered it: "It stinks inside, forget it."
Before the two-headed puppet villain invited him again, Lu Li and Catalina left the alley.
"I thought you would say it bluntly." Catalina couldn't help but said, "Well... it's much more natural than I thought."
This would have been the case, but the Doomsday Apocalypse doubled the "performance".
Soon, the signboard of the Cape of Good Hope Tavern appeared in sight.
Back at the Noisy Tavern, the boss was no exception to their return: "I said there is always a chance."
"You got it right." Catalina didn't like the tavern owner very much and said bluntly: "We are going to the old sewer."
"Toll fee, 5 shillings per person."
"Why so many?" Catalina frowned. "They just took us to the old sewers, not to Midnight City."
"Because of safety, those things in the old sewers will not treat you as thrown food." The tavern owner looked at Lu Li and spread his palms. "Every day, poor people who cannot afford to pay and want to smuggle out are eaten directly."
"Okay... we paid." Catalina gritted her teeth and agreed. Selling the ghoul lair and catching the thief made her pocket a little rich, so she didn't have to worry about 10 shillings: "When will we leave."
"Forty minutes later. You can take advantage of this time to stroll around the town, but remember to come back before departure, otherwise you will have to buy a new ticket."
Catalina paid 10 shillings and left the Cape of Good Hope Tavern with Lu Li again.
"The stingy bastard wants money for everything, and he didn't waive my room fee when there was a thief..."
This is the root of Catalina's hatred of the tavern owner.
"Where is the old sewer?" Lu Li asked.
Catalina pointed to the road stretching to the top of the low mountain in the distance: "It's up there."
"Tell me about the old sewers."
"Hmm... I don't know much." Katarina had never been to Midnight City or the old sewer. She could only tell Lu Li some of the information she knew.
The old sewer was formerly a giant underground structure built in the old days. It itself was given a miraculous mission: to lead the melted lakes in the back mountains of the world to the old river plains that lacked water sources, which is now the Dark Wilderness.
This ambitious and delusional plan came to nothing due to the advent of strange times, leaving only unfinished ruins.
Until the emergence of Midnight Town, the location where it stood was the ruins of the old sewer. As Midnight Town became prosperous, the old underground sewer was reactivated.
Because it was also protected by Midnight Town, but was not under the jurisdiction of its church, the old sewer quickly became a filthy place. Wanted humans, aliens, aliens, aberrations, heretics, evil spirits, and even weirdos, used
The description "full of chaos and crime" seems to be a compliment.
As more and more dirty beings that "should not appear above the ground" gathered, the old sewers began to expand to the surrounding areas. At first, the old sewers only extended to the edge of the safe zone of Midnight City, but as shelters emerged, people knew
The underground is safer than the surface, and the old sewers began to expand crazily and go deep underground.
Twenty years have turned it into a huge maze-like underground area, with veins spreading to every corner of the dark wilderness. No one knows how deep the old sewer area is and how many branches it has.
The old sewers from Ghost Town to Midnight City are the shallowest area, and the chaos is not as serious as the lower levels. Of course, this is also related to the closer to Midnight City, the more "powerful" the beings living there.
"In the old sewer, you may gain everything, or you may lose everything." Catalina slowly recounted what she heard, but the credibility of this paragraph was put in quotation marks by Catalina. When she first heard this, the businessman had already drunk.
Drunk.
No matter what, it will be completely different from everything Lu Li has experienced. He must be prepared to face the real weird times.
"Where are we going now?" Catalina asked Lu Li, who was walking along the street out of the town.
"Buying clothes."
In addition to the black robe, Lu Li also wore a black coat with holes in the back and a linen coat found in the shelter.
"I know one"
Catalina's voice stopped suddenly, and Lu Li walked into a clothing store that looked at the window display cabinets and knew that the prices were expensive.
Advertising, [app] is really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache reading and read aloud offline!
It was too late to stop him, so Catalina could only follow him into the store and saw Lu Li say to the waiter: "I need a set of clothes."
White shirt, black woolen windbreaker, trousers, tie, everything is old-fashioned style.
The sight of Lu Li's figure and face when he walked out of the locker room really made Catalina uncontrollably immersed in it, but as Lu Li paid the fee, her heart was filled with pain.
Putting on their black robes, Lu Li and Catalina left the clothing store.
"The way you spend money is incomparable even to the nobles I have seen." Catalina was so painful that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't believe that a few pieces of clothing were worth 180 shillings. "Were you rich before?"
