Looking at Ding Ke in front of him, Xu Le really couldn't say "you are normal".
A cat, or a talking cat.
Coupled with his astonishing appetite and humane movements, if someone noticed something was wrong.
This time when he came to Tianrui Lifeng, because he needed to completely integrate himself into a new society and a new identity, Xu Le did not bring a lot of money.
Because he knows very well that only by forcing yourself can you change yourself.
If you bring a lot of money to Tin Shwe Lifeng, you will definitely feel comfortable, prosperous, and even return to your previous living habits.
If it is normal, it will definitely be fine to maintain your living habits.
But now he needs to completely hide his identity and background so that no one can detect it at all.
Carrying a black cat like Ding Ke is already very eye-catching. If he spends extravagantly, he is likely to be discovered even in other cities.
If you really look carefully and understand it, you may be able to find out his details.
Tianrui Lifeng and the Red Moon Temple are on opposite sides, so this place should not be intruded by the Red Moon Temple.
But to put it another way, as a counterpoint, there will definitely be a lot of spies, spies, and thorns in the Red Moon Temple here. These people are troublesome.
Just avoid these people.
"If you want to seek real change, you can't indulge yourself. If you want to truly assume an identity, you have to cut off from the past. Well, it's like this..."
"Are you having an embarrassing conversation with yourself? Meow?"
"It's not strict to call it awkward chatting. It should be called talking to oneself."
Xu Le changed into a set of clothes, a shit-yellow coat with a wasteland atmosphere, a dark gray peaked cap, and the black cane must not be used, as it would be too conspicuous.
The sword isn't particularly good either. There aren't many people in this world who use swords, but there are quite a few who use knives.
so……
"Let's turn it into a revolver."
Transforming the black stick into the form of a revolver, Xu Le's current outfit looks a bit like a western cowboy + wasteland gangster.
Except for the black cat on his shoulder, Xu Le felt that he had fully met the definition of a Tianrui Lifeng mercenary.
"Well, it's a perfect disguise, what do you think?"
"That's it, meow!"
After tidying up his clothes, Xu Le walked out of the warehouse. When the warehouse manager who was guarding the place saw someone coming out of the warehouse, he immediately stepped forward to ask.
But after he and Xu Le looked at each other, they stopped talking...
"Why do you feel a little afraid of people? Maybe he is a desperado."
The warehouse manager looked at Xu Le with concern. He felt that it would be better to do less than to do more, so he decided to forget it.
Arriving on the airship, Xu Le felt the breeze here and vaguely remembered that he also took an airship the last time he ran away.
Well, he has a connection with airships.
"Free air, a safe place." Xu Lesheng took a breath, and then was grabbed.
"Hey, hey, he's from Zion, so he has to pay the protection fee."
Xu Le:???
Protection fee? Paying protection fee in broad daylight? Is there any royal law? Is there any law?
Even if you charge protection money, what do you mean by saying he is from Zion? Look down on him so much?
"What did you say?"
"I want you to pay a protection fee. This airship is protected by our Wolf Gang. Lifeng will keep you safe when we get to Tianrui. Do you understand?"
"What if I don't pay?" Xu Le's face suddenly turned cold.
He really didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't tolerate being ridiculed. After all, he was a level 4 warlock, and he would be a master anywhere.
But what happened next was reversed again, or it was completely beyond Xu Le's expectation.
He originally thought these people were boat pirates, but after he sternly refused, these people actually looked at him with contempt, then waved their hands and said:
"If you don't want to hand it over, don't hand it over. I'll show you what you can do and let's go."
Xu Le:……
Xu Le, who stayed where he was, glanced at Ding Ke on his shoulder:
"They just left like that?"
"Yes meow!"
"Why don't you stay and have a fight with me, and then I can show off my talents as a Tianrui Lifeng mercenary, so that my identity can be spread out."
"Now is a society ruled by law, meow!"
Xu Le nodded doubtfully.
But when he walked to the viewing platform with doubts, he suddenly realized that something was wrong...
The boat pirates and air masters were still there collecting money, but the situation was different from what he imagined. Those who were being paid did not seem to have any resistance, but instead crowded around.
These people from the Wolf Gang were actually maintaining order at the scene.
Of course, although they are maintaining order on site, they still maintain the characteristics of Tian Rui Lifeng.
Bad mouth and bad attitude are inevitable.
"TMD, didn't you hear me asking you to queue up? If you keep squeezing, get out. I won't collect the protection fee..."
When Xu Le heard what the other party said, he was almost moved to tears. You came out to collect protection money and threatened others not to collect it. You are a gangster, how come you are different from the one I know?
And that's not all. After being yelled at by the members of the Wolf Gang, those people actually went to line up honestly.
Xu Le was confused for a while and just kept watching. When he saw these people collecting the protection fees and dispersing, he walked up to an ordinary citizen and asked:
"Um, fellow countryman, what is the origin of this Wolf Gang? They charge protection fees like this, why do you seem so willing to do it?"
The person Xu Le asked was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He looked Xu Le up and down.
"If you can ask such a question, you will look like you are not from Ruilifeng."
"Um, why do you say that?"
"People from Tianrui Lifeng would never ask such stupid questions. No matter how similar you are to your clothes, people will see through it at a glance."
"Okay, brother, can you give me some advice? It's my first time going to Tin Shui Lifeng, so I'm a little nervous."
The eldest brother lit a cigarette for himself. Men of this age always have an attitude of pointing out the situation and strategizing.
It's the same as having a salary of 3,000 yuan and a heart of 300 billion yuan in the previous life.
"Protection fees are the fees charged to protect us. Isn't that just what it means? It's very simple."
"Protect what we charge? Why protect?"
"Tianrui Lifeng has been carrying out reforms, you should know that, right?"
"knew."
"Today's Tianrui Lifeng is very chaotic, with reformists, conservatives, various wandering savages, and scattered gangs.
In this environment, fights are commonplace every day, and the folk customs of Tianrui Lifeng are very brave.
Under such circumstances, ordinary people's lives are not particularly comfortable, and their safety cannot be guaranteed.
The legal government of Qitianrui Lifeng was relatively corrupt and chaotic, so the reformists began to recruit gangs to govern the entire city."
"Incorporating gangs into governing the city?"
"Yes, they shout about charging protection fees, but they are actually the fees to protect you. The money is very small, we only pay 40 cents every month.
After you pay these 4 cents, you will be protected by the Wolf Gang. If there are other gangs that bully you or blackmail you, you can go to the Wolf Gang to deal with it.
This is the foundation of the gang. Under normal circumstances, they will settle your matter.
4 cents can keep you safe for a month. It’s lower than the taxes and fees of Zion and Lighthouse, so why not pay it?”
Xu Le listened to the man's answer, blinked a few times, and then nodded:
"Well-founded and convincing..."
"That's the truth."
"Then, thank you, brother."
"You're welcome. You have to be careful when you get off the airship. It's more or less dangerous if you don't have someone to protect you. Especially be careful of those in the old party. They are very corrupt and they are not good people."
"Understood."
After getting the answer, Xu Le once again fell into confusion about the situation of Tianrui Lifeng.
At that time, Wang Shu told him that Tianrui Lifeng was a city full of hope and vitality.
Chi Xiao also told him that Tianrui Lifeng was the hope. Their organization founded a group called Xiao in Tianrui Lifeng and invited him...
So in Xu Le's impression, Tianrui Lifeng should be a promising place.
But now, something doesn't feel right.
"We'd better wait for the airship and then observe."
"Meow!"
Xu Le started to be submissive, and even Ding Ke also became submissive.
The distance between Tianrui Lifeng and Zion is quite far. After 2 days of flying, Xu Le finally arrived at this legendary city.
This is a city that looks like it has no walls.
"There really is no city wall. How on earth can a city like this be defended?"
Xu Le is very aware of the situation of the Black Tide. With its all-pervasive impact, even Zion today still needs to rely on a powerful firepower network, the auxiliary defense of the city wall, and the devouring effect of the furnace.
Only by superimposing the three can we correctly clean up those weird things.
But there is no city wall in Tianrui Lifeng. Isn’t this kind of city planning a good thing in Kuroshio?
"You don't need to be so surprised. Every time there is a black tide, that guy Chixiao will come back here. This is the city of her dreams and hopes, although it's a little chaotic!"
Xu Le was slightly stunned, yes, this is the city of Chi Xiao's dreams and hopes.
For her own dreams and hopes, she will definitely protect this city with all her strength.
Thinking about the many rewards from Guyin after every black tide, Chixiao has gained a lot every time.
The degree of reward is almost comparable to that of Xu Le who intervened in a battle.
This means that the number of weird things she killed at the Ancient Yin Duo Mu Tree was equal to the number killed by Xu Le using technology, or even more.
"The presence of guys like that can really protect this city from harm."
"The airship has arrived, let's start a new life, meow!"
Holding Ding Ke, Xu Le stepped off the airship.
As soon as I came out, someone was pointing fingers at me.
"That person didn't pay the protection fee. He may be from another gang, so be careful..."
Originally, Xu Le was hidden among the crowd and was relatively unobtrusive, but someone from the Wolf Gang pointed him out like this.
Good guy, everyone around him knows him.
Then these people began to point fingers at Xu Le:
"Could it be a spy from another city?"
"I don't know. He doesn't look like he is from Tianrui Lifeng."
"I am so stupid, but people from Tianrui Lifeng are not that stupid."
Xu Le:……
Xu Le couldn't bear it when he heard the other party talking about him like that. He doubted that he could do it, but wasn't that naivety a bit too much?
"Well, I actually..."
As soon as Xu Le opened his mouth, everyone else immediately looked away, making Xu Le unable to continue talking.
"Forget it, let's find a place to live in the city first, and then we'll see if there is any suitable job for us."
Since others are unwilling to talk to him, Xu Le will not ask for trouble.
Walking out of the airship pad, Xu Le was grabbed by someone again.
"newcomer?"
Xu Le looked at the person holding him, and for a moment he was a little undecided.
What these two people are wearing...should be the official uniforms of Tianrui Lifeng, right?
"What's the matter with you two?"
"Oh, it's nothing. If you are a new outsider, you have to go to the diplomat to register with us first. Well, this is our ID."
Xu Le took a careful look at the other party's ID to confirm that it was correct.
However, he still remembered that on the airship, the fellow villagers asked him to pay attention to some people from the Tianrui Lifeng government. These people were not easy to get along with.
But if you don't cooperate now, does it count as violent resistance to the law?
Xu Le hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I'll go register with you."
"Well, let's go then."
Seeing Xu Le being taken away by two law enforcement officers, those who had paid protection fees shook their heads.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought he was a very smart spy, but I didn't expect him to be a fat sheep."
"The Red Moon Temple is just that, how can there be so many spies?"
"Indeed, this fat sheep is in a miserable condition. It may have shed its skin."
…
Xu Le followed the two law enforcers into a dilapidated classic car.
In the car, Xu Le couldn't help but ask:
"What do you call them two?"
"My surname is Zhang, just call me Captain Zhang."
"Oh, Captain Zhang, is the registration place far away? Why are you still driving?"
"It's not far, we'll be there soon."
They said it was very fast, but in fact it was not very fast. The car drove for 5 minutes and brought Xu Le to an old building and stopped.
Looking at the old building in front of him, Xu Le's expression began to darken.
"It seems like nothing good is going to happen..." he thought to himself.
"What else are you looking at? Let's go up and register."
After arriving at the old building, Captain Zhang's attitude became much worse. It seemed that this place was already their territory.
"I didn't pay the protection fee, so I can't get the protection of the Wolf Gang? For ordinary people, local gangs like the Wolf Gang are the real umbrella of protection..."
Xu Le was a little bit sad. Since he came here, he naturally wanted to see what Tianrui Lifeng is like today.
Especially the issue of his political system.
so……
"Okay, let's go and register as soon as possible. I'm here to travel to Tianrui Lifeng. I heard that there are many mercenaries and adventurers here.
I also hope to be one of them, this is my dream since childhood."
"Mercenaries and adventurers, hehehe, okay, okay."
