Chapter 38: Are you being manipulated by Alice?

 Standing in the square where people were coming and going, Ringer held two large Britta coins with a face value of one penny in his hands, watching the backs of the two aardvark beasts pulling the cart gradually go away.

The thin middle-aged man also gradually disappeared from sight. Both his expression and mood were extremely complicated.

After entering the city, Mr. Gweli sent them to this square, then said goodbye and left. He wanted to temporarily store the cart and the two aardvark beasts at the union inn, and sell the fodder and food he brought.

Agricultural and sideline products. Before leaving, he returned the two pence coins that he had collected as fare to Ringer, saying that he didn't want the money because he had a good chat with them - mainly Alice.

It's like giving them a free ride.

Then he drove away in a cart, waving his whip, and humming tuneless folk songs all the way, leaving only a handsome figure behind, which once again confirmed that although the people of this land have elements of riot and anger flowing in their bodies,

But he also has a passionate and unrestrained temperament.

After he left, Alice winked at Ringer: "Okay, okay! I said I would work! Wouldn't this be a big help?"

So your role is only worth two pennies?

Lin Ge silently put away the coins and ignored her.

Saint Xalia pursed her lips lightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth and between her eyebrows: "Yes, Alice is great, it's really a big help."

"Hehe, I'm not as good as you said." Alice scratched her head, and then showed a simple smile: "I like hearing this, please give me a few more compliments."

Saint Xalia: "..."

The golden-haired maid started to rub her nose and face again. Knowing this, Ringer did not praise her. Unfortunately, Saint Xalia seemed to have some unrealistic expectations for this guy's character.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Gweli, the three began to search for clues in Qiyu Port.

Although I said that, it was actually just wandering around. After all, I haven't found any clear target. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you don't go to the top floor while wandering. That is the area where the Judgment Church's headquarters is located.

There may be some special magic device that can penetrate the veil of fate.

They are currently located in the DC area of ​​Qiyu Port - the lower area, which is also a port and industrial area. Thirteen deep-water docks have been built in the outer ring area near the Bisis River. Huge three-masted sailing ships and steamships are anchored, and sailors

The coolies and coolies were moving in and out along the planks of the ship, unloading cargo, and a rough and loud horn song could be vaguely heard coming from the tavern.

The area where the inner ring connects to the cliff is the factory area. Rows of stacked brown roofs are lined with chimneys, spitting out scorching black smoke that almost condenses into thick acid-etched clouds. Looking further away, you can vaguely see

The heavy industrial center of Qiyu Port is the shadow of Lutar Steam Engine Factory. It mainly produces engines for ships and vehicles, factory machine tools, mining machines and other high-precision machinery. It is the most famous machinery company in Motosh. It is said that the five major families

The Valenhild family holds one-third of its shares, and the latter is also the former ruler of Qieryu Port.

Before the sect united to rectify the Port of Rain, the Valenhilde family's bloody law was the only law in the city, and the charges in the hands of judges and prosecutors were nothing more than toys for them to masturbate with.

The Valenhild family of that era participated in the struggle for kingship in the Tagoo Wilds on behalf of the Elios, but it was actually a family founded by vampires. It still exists today, but what remains are just some stolen goods.

The vassal of this surname and bloodline, the real vampire Valenhild, has long since disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.

Vampires... Talking about this race reminded Ringer of his experience in Linwell City. He glanced in the direction of the Lutar Steam Engine Factory and saw the towering chimneys and huge chimneys in the closed industrial factory.

Gears and hinges are used on the high steel tower to drive the elevator up and down. The thick blast furnace is burning with a viscous flame like molten metal, and the roar is like thunder.

Near the cliff, the belly of the mountain was hollowed out, and deep and complex tracks were built with steel rails and sleepers. A series of mine cars driven by the train locomotive passed over the track at high speed, continuously feeding rich raw materials into the factory.

The billowing smoke released from the burning coal in the boiler room, followed by the roaring whistle, is comparable to the lingering haze in the sky of Linville City.

Numb and decadent workers, experienced drivers driving mine carts, auditors checking materials with reports... When the industrial plant is operating at full capacity, outsiders are prohibited from entering and leaving. Therefore, even though he knew it was related to the Wallenshield family, Ringer also

Unable to enter to find out.

He heard Alice urging him, so he withdrew his gaze and walked in another direction.

Sandwiched between the inner ring and the outer ring is a road more than two hundred meters wide. Although it sounds very spacious, in fact this is because it is the only main road in the DC area-lower area, which is also subdivided into

In addition to steam locomotive tracks, train tracks, ordinary vehicle roads and sidewalks, etc. In other words, all vehicles in the DC area-lower area and the transportation of nearly 100,000 residents must rely on this road. If you think about it, right?

Is it much narrower?

The opposite of width is length. It is said that this main road extends from the square at the entrance of the city to the other end of the city. Even if you drive a steam locomotive, it will take a whole day to reach the end. This exaggerated contrast between length and width is also sad.

A major feature that distinguishes Yugang from ordinary cities.

Walking along the sidewalk of the main road, there are some residential houses, shops and pubs, as well as small parks and other public areas with scarce greenery. Due to the precious land, they only occupy a small area.

Looking up, through the thick smoke and haze, you can see the shadow of the huge city pressing above your head, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression. Those dense pipes and beehive-type sewage devices clinging to the bottom of the city's base

, looks scattered and messy, but actually follows rigorous and meticulous rules that only the most skilled mechanical craftsmen can see. Therefore, even in the eyes of a layman, it is full of the beauty of steel, steam and industry.

The two girls walked in front, and Linger walked behind. As he walked, he listened to passers-by talk about the interesting things that happened in Qiyu Port recently, trying to capture useful clues. These interesting things include: the arbitrator who tried the Holy See

Cooperating with the city police superintendent, a major smuggling of illegal drugs was once again uncovered, and all the gangsters involved were arrested and imprisoned; a ship returning from overseas colonies entered the port and berthed, bringing back a box of precious jewelry. It was said that the ship was invested in

The Wallenhild family of the team will make millions from it; the Rutal Steam Engine Factory recently received a large order from a mysterious shopper and is currently working at full capacity. A worker in the factory was unfortunate after working for 48 hours continuously.

Sudden death...

Basically, it's all very subtle information. It can't be said that it's completely useless. It can only be said that I don't know how to use it at all.

Sure enough, it’s still too difficult to rely on hearsay?

The young man rubbed his brows, feeling a little embarrassed. At this moment, Alice suddenly turned around and waved to him, shouting in an excited tone: "Hey, Ringer! Let's go and sit there!"

That one?

Ringer looked around and realized that Alice was referring to a large elevator not far away that occupied an entire square. Driven by a steam engine, it was slowly rising along a vertical track. It was densely packed with people.

Head.

This type of large elevators are widely distributed in Qiyu Port, with at least nearly a hundred of them. They are important hubs connecting the upper, middle and lower three-level areas. They are also the most commonly used means of transportation for residents of this city for daily travel. Their status is roughly equivalent to that of other cities.

Public train or tram.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, they have also become an item that foreign tourists have to experience when they come to Qiyu Port. It is said that the Qiyu Port government is considering increasing the number of large elevators in the city, which can not only alleviate the increasing congestion.

The traffic conditions can also meet the needs of tourists, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The young man frowned slightly: "We are not here to travel."

"I know, but -" Alice puffed up her nonexistent breasts and said confidently: "The middle area is the residential area and commercial area with the largest flow of people, so it's easier to find clues there!"

Ringer: "..."

The Golden Retriever Maid only behaves particularly smart at this time, almost making people think that she can also use the magic of Scholar Path Sequence 9 [Quick Thinking].

"The risk of getting into the middle zone is too great," he said.

After all, it is close to the upper area, and the upper area is the area where the Church of Sin is located.

"It doesn't matter." Alice vowed: "We won't be discovered if we are careful. I believe in Xiaoxia's destiny, don't you believe it?"

She started moral kidnapping.

When a certain shepherd girl heard this, she stopped, turned around, and blinked her clear golden eyes, looking very innocent. She seemed to have no expression, but in fact, her eyes kept poking at Lin Ge, and she quickly turned away for fear of being discovered.

He came back, so he appeared to be hesitant, and his true thoughts in his heart were completely exposed.

She is really not good at disguising herself, so she is manipulated by Alice.

What else could the young man say? He could only sigh helplessly and said: "I believe it too."

Upon hearing these words, Saint Xalia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a reassuring smile, and the golden-haired maid also cheered loudly: "Okay!"
