Heisuo looked at his position indifferently, then slowly stood up and walked away, moved to a place farther away from the middle-aged beggar and lay down - "Good boy! I guess you are wise!" the middle-aged beggar said to Heisuo.
Suo spat hard, then took out the steamed bun hidden in his arms, sat contentedly on Heisuo's original position and ate it.
"Boy! Are you hungry? Do you want to have one too?" The middle-aged beggar seemed very happy after taking back his seat. He suddenly changed his style and took out another steamed bun from his arms, unexpectedly.
Actively threw it to Heisuo——
There is something wrong with this guy! Heisuo took the steamed bun casually and swallowed it in three mouthfuls, pretending to be extremely hungry. He never believed that there were good people in this world who took the initiative to give him steamed buns to eat, so the identity of this middle-aged beggar was absolutely
It is doubtful that it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface! Sure enough, the middle-aged beggar was even happier after seeing Heisuo accepting his gift. His expression was gentle, completely different from the vicious look just now, and he came closer to Heisuo and sat down.
Said: "Boy! What is your name? Where do you come from?"
Hesso pretended to be grateful and replied softly: "My name is Damian Hesso. I fled to the imperial capital from the distant seaport of Cimmeria! A war broke out there, and I
Unfortunately, both of my parents died, leaving me alone, begging for a living!"
"I've heard about the Battle of Cimmeria Harbor!" The middle-aged beggar nodded and sighed: "The Empire and the North restarted the station and caused great harm to us ordinary people! I am deeply sorry for your experience.
I sympathize, but it’s not okay for a young person like you to make a living by begging!”
Heisuo deliberately buried his head in his chest and choked pitifully: "I don't know anything! I don't have any skills! What else do you think I can do besides begging?"
"Come with me!" The middle-aged beggar's eyes were hot, and he extended an olive branch to Heisuo as expected. "Maybe I can help you find something to do!"
The quiet street was deserted. Except for one or two wild cats and stray dogs that occasionally ran by, there were only two middle-aged beggars and Heisuo walking in the depths of the street, one behind the other. Hei Suo.
Suo carefully observed the surrounding environment along the way and secretly wrote down some obvious road signs in his mind. However, the middle-aged beggar did not seem to notice that Heisuo was making small moves behind his back. He swaggered through the darkness and led the way.
He seems to be very familiar with this secluded road.
After walking for about half an hour, the middle-aged beggar brought Heisuo to a deep underground entrance. He picked up a torch placed on the wall of the entrance, led Heisuo down the steps, and walked slowly step by step.
Deep underground——
Heisuo began to count silently in his heart. They counted a total of three hundred and eighteen steps. Finally, the two of them came to a huge stone door. The middle-aged beggar turned around and introduced Heisuo with a smile on his face: "Welcome.
Go to the underground world of our imperial capital, Black Pearl! This place is different from the aristocratic world on the ground. It is a beautiful Garden of Eden that belongs entirely to us poor people!"
After the middle-aged beggar finished speaking, he pushed open the stone door, revealing a jaw-droppingly majestic underground world in front of Heisuo——
The lights here are as bright as day, and the huge space is spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. The criss-crossing streets and dazzling shops are no different from the imperial capital on the surface! And the bustling crowds are walking under the lights that are both real and illusory.
Underneath, it was like a dream or a song, as if people suddenly saw a fantasy world like fairy tales and legends!
"I really didn't expect that there is such a wonderful place hidden under the imperial capital!" Heisuo finally recovered from his stunned state for a long time. His eyes flashed and he said with a tone full of admiration: "Isolate yourself from the world for these four things."
This place is best described in one word. Nobles have the benefits of nobility, and poor people also have their own ways of living. In the vast world, there will always be a place where people can live in peace!"
"You're right!" The middle-aged beggar laughed and walked into the streets of the underground world holding Heisuo by the hand - "My name is Tony Stoker! You can also just call me Uncle Tony!"
"The middle-aged beggar seemed to be a very talkative man. While he introduced various commodities on the street to Heisuo, he kept describing various interesting anecdotes in the underground world.
Heisuo listened with great interest along the way. He was very curious about this completely unfamiliar underground world! First of all, he wanted to understand how such a huge underground street could be hidden from the Tracy family and the imperial army.
Built under the eyes of
Who is in charge of this place? These three points aroused Heisuo's strong desire for knowledge, which made him want to find out immediately from the mouth of the middle-aged beggar Tony Stock. "Uncle Tony! I think most of the people here are the same as us.
The same beggars, how can they have money to buy goods?"
Tony Stork laughed and explained: "Commodities in the underground world are all exchanged with each other, and there is basically no need for money here!"
"Oh! That's it!" Heisuo suddenly realized, and then continued to ask: "So there is no one to control here? Can you do whatever you want?"
"In principle, there is no control here!" Tony Stock replied tirelessly: "But if someone dares to cause trouble here - someone will still come out to deal with him!"
"So there is a master in this underground world?" A hint of surprise flashed through Heisuo's eyes. He vaguely felt that he had found a breakthrough and began to slowly get closer and closer to the target.
.
"We don't call him master here, we call him City Lord!" Tony Stoker smiled slightly and continued unsuspectingly: "People in the underground world call him City Lord Babu. He is an approachable and affable man.
, he often gives alms to us poor people and helps us unconditionally - so everyone here supports him very much!"
"Lord Babu?" Heisuo murmured the name, and at the same time, he was thinking desperately, trying to find the best excuse to ask for a meeting with Lord Babu!
"Do you really want to meet our city lord?" Just when Hesso felt in a dilemma, Tony Stoker actually took the initiative to ask Hesso about this issue that he urgently needed to solve.
Heisuo was ecstatic when he heard this, and nodded almost without hesitation and replied: "Of course! I am very eager to meet your Lord Babu. I hope he can recommend a job for me, so that I don't have to
If you can no longer make a living by begging, you can earn money to support yourself!"
"This matter is very easy to handle!" Tony Stoker agreed with a smile, teasing Hesso and said: "As long as you are not a spy sent by the Tracy family, then Lord Babu is willing to come to meet you in person at any time!"
Heisuo's heart tightened when he heard this, and he almost showed something wrong in his expression. Fortunately, his reaction was quick enough, and he hurriedly covered it up by scratching his scalp. He smiled awkwardly and said: "How could I be Trey?"
Where are the spies of the Xi family? Noble people like them, even if I want to, I can’t reach them!"
"That's right!" Tony Stock laughed loudly, patted Heisuo on the shoulder and said: "We have basically met all the people in the Tracy family. You are very different from them in essence. You
He doesn’t have the arrogant and arrogant temperament of the Tracy family!”
Fortunately! Heisuo secretly exclaimed: Lucky! Finally, he got through in front of Tony Stork. The two of them continued to move forward laughing and joking, and soon passed through two streets and came to a doorway where they stood.
Guards in front of the small pointed stone building.
Heisuo raised his head and glanced at the "cross" sign hanging above the small stone building. He had heard the seniors in Similia town say that this was the unique "cross" sign of the Holy Kingdom's former Church of Light.
It’s just that the Church of Light was destroyed during the Fairy City Rebellion twelve years ago, so why did it suddenly appear again today? Is it hanging high above the small building where the Lord Babu lives?
"Come in with me!" Tony Stoker said a few words to the guard at the door, and then easily walked into the small building with Black Suo. Although the small building didn't look big from the outside, there was a lot of space inside.
But it was very spacious. When Heisuo walked into the living room accompanied by Tony Stork, there were already many men, women and children of all kinds gathered inside. Everyone looked dignified, looked intently, and sat cross-legged with pious expressions on their faces, as if
We are waiting for some high-level figure to come and give a lecture.
"Our Lord City Lord is a man of faith!" Tony Stork whispered quietly in Heisuo's ear, indicating that he should also learn from others and wait quietly——
About five minutes later, a fat middle-aged man in his early forties came down from the stairs on the second floor. This man was wearing a sky blue robe with the word "X" embroidered on the chest. He closed his eyes slightly.
With a serious face, he slowly walked to the front of everyone and sat in the middle - "Thank you everyone for being willing to accompany me in praying tonight. I believe that Saint Siresia will definitely appreciate our pious attitude after knowing it."
And I feel extremely pleased!”
"God bless the saint!" Everyone in the hall paid homage together and loudly praised the saint's kindness and holiness. Heisuo quietly raised his eyes and watched secretly. He finally saw the leader of the underground world, Ba, for the first time.
The Lord of the City of Bubu finally learned that the Lord of the City of the Bubu was actually one of the loyal believers of the New Light Church.
Fortunately, this prayer did not last very long. Lord Babu led the believers in reciting a hymn of light. After that, he stood up and walked to the stairs of the second floor alone——
Tony Stoker gently pulled Heisuo's sleeve, instructing him not to make any noise so as not to disturb others. Instead, he quietly followed him to the second floor to visit the underground city master who had just left here.
——Lord of Babu City.
After walking up to the second floor and passing through a narrow corridor, Heisuo found City Lord Babu sitting in front of a table of delicious food and feasting. His pious and dignified expression just now had been forgotten by him, and he was completely in front of him.
Like an underfed hungry wolf, he is trying his best to stuff his mouth with food without grace, and the noble and elegant sky blue robe on his body is also stained with grease, and there is no trace of it at all.
The demeanor of a true believer.
"I'm so sorry!" Lord Babu finally put down the knife and fork in his hand after taking a big gulp of red wine. He wiped the grease around his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile to Heisuo and Tony Stoker.
: "I am embarrassed in front of the newcomers again!"
Tony Stock smiled and explained to Hesso with no surprise: "Please don't be surprised by this! Although our city lord is a devout believer in the Saintess Church, he can never resist delicious food.
lure!"
City Lord Babu laughed when he heard this. He reached out and patted his big belly, deliberately showing it to Heisuo in front of him and said: "Life is short, what's the meaning of life if you don't have some interests and hobbies?
The only thing I am interested in is food! Although I also know that eating and drinking is not good for the body, it will not cause any harm to others, and it will not affect my personal beliefs in the Holy Lady Church!"
"What the Lord City Lord said makes sense!" Hesso bowed very politely, looked up at City Lord Babu and said, "This junior is Damian Hesso, who came from the Similia seaport. He came here because his parents were dead and he had no other options.
In the Imperial Capital, I hope that the Lord of the City will show mercy, lend a helping hand, and point out a bright path for the younger generation to continue to survive!"
"Oh!" Lord Babu smiled faintly after hearing Heisuo's request. He looked at Heisuo with a mysterious expression and a strange look, and said in a low voice: "You escaped here from the small town of Cimmeria.
Is it? I heard that during the Battle of Cimmeria Harbor, there was a famous Mole Squad Captain also named Damian Blackso. I wonder if he is related to you? Why do you both have the same name?
Where’s the name?”
Heisuo's face suddenly turned extremely pale. He felt that his heart suddenly began to beat violently, and even cold sweat broke out on his back involuntarily! Why did the Babu City Lord know him so clearly?
? It stands to reason that he is just an unknown person who has just arrived, and it is impossible for a lord in his majestic underground world to know his details and investigate him so accurately! Unless - unless there is something between this city lord and the Northern Shadow Guard
Because of the inseparable connection, he was able to use a special channel to avoid the double defense network of the imperial guards and the Tracy family, and learned his identity from the northern generals such as Li Xuan and Zuo Lei Lucy.
