MTL - I Became the King of Villains In the Game-Chapter 29 outer city

  Chapter 29 Outer City

"That rascal…"

  Chen Lun pondered.

  I have never heard the name of Alex in my previous life, so he should be just an ordinary bard. But when he called out his pseudonym, he always felt something was wrong.

   Looking back from the window of the carriage, there was no sign of Alex on the avenue.

"What’s wrong with you?"

  Floye felt Chen Lun's emotions and asked aloud.

  Chen Lun sat back and shook his head silently, then immediately added:

   "Nothing, just met a strange guy."

  Floy didn't pursue the question, so she changed the subject:

   "Are you arriving at your destination tomorrow?"

   "Well... I will arrive in Amber City tomorrow."

  Chen Lun no longer thinks about it anymore. The most urgent task right now is to find Dolly in Amber City, and obtain [High-Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance] from him to maintain the pollution balance on Floyd.

  By the way, while completing the third ring of the hidden mission, I hope to find 【Philip’s Legacy】.

   These are the boosts that can enhance his strength.

  I have some expectations in my heart, but more of a prospect for the future—

   Become strong and gain ground!

   Be strong enough to reach a certain height before the 1.0 version beta players come. Only in this way can Chen Lun have enough sense of security.

   Lost the player-specific panel, he actually didn't know if he could be resurrected from the dead. Although I am an NPC, I still retain the ability to receive tasks and view item information...

   But resurrection is a privilege that only players have, and he dare not gamble.

   There is only one life.

  …

   Amber City.

  This metropolis in the eastern part of the empire is much more developed and prosperous than the small backward place on the edge of Emerald Town, and it covers a much larger area.

  According to the administrative division of the entire continent, one empire and three subsidiary kingdoms.

  Not counting other small kingdoms that have become their own kings, the Cuisul Empire has six kingdoms besides Tourmaline King City.

   Each state has ten cities.

  Each city is composed of the main city, seventy-two cities, and countless small towns.

  Amber City is a relatively high-ranked metropolis among the seventy-two cities of Gem State Fossil City. It is famous for its culture, nature and art.

  As the carriage gradually approached Amber City, the main road of the gravel road gradually turned into a neatly paved stone road. There are also square stone pillars and black iron street lights on both sides of the road.

  When night falls on these street lamps, lamp holders will come to light kerosene and keep them lit all night.

  Tap tap tap...

  The carriage drove slowly.

  The tall city wall in the distance became clearer, and the two sides leading to the city gate were densely packed with low bungalows.

   "It tastes like stewed beans..."

  Floy opened the curtain, sniffed with her small nose, and said softly.

   This taste is very familiar to Floyd, because she often ate it when she was a child.

   Sitting in the carriage, Chen Lun could see many women wearing aprons and scarves cooking and washing rice. They work at the door of their small house, and from time to time there are a few children playing around them, and then shuttle between the densely packed houses around them.

   "Most of their men will go to work in the city during the day, and then go out of the city to go home after work."

  At this moment, Walsh, who was driving the carriage, spoke.

  Chen Lun is also very clear about this. The civilians living here are all poor families who are not qualified to live in the city.

  They are also an integral part of keeping Amber City running.

   Among the people preparing to enter the city, there were not a few carriages. But more are passers-by with bags on their backs, and hawkers selling fresh fruits and vegetables in baskets.

  Walsh showed the caravan voucher and the entry fee of 5 copper kro per person, and several imperial soldiers waved to let them go.

  Passing through the long passage of the city gate, in the dark environment, Chen Lun could see the notices and arrest warrants plastered on the walls. But most of them were yellowed and damaged due to the scouring of time, and because no one cleaned them up, they kept stacking up, forming a thick backlog.

   Soon, the surrounding noises came to my ears.

   Entering the city is truly entering Amber City. There are two worlds here and outside.

  Carriages passing slowly with bells ringing, newsboys running and selling cigarettes and newspapers, hawkers setting up stalls in the huge square, and church monks preaching loudly.

  Floy seemed very excited, constantly listening to the sounds of the new world. Only at this moment did she show the image of a girl at this age.

   "Your Excellency Jack, the destination has arrived."

   Walsh prompted aloud.

  The carriage quickly stopped in front of a three-story building, which is where the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in Amber City is located. But this is not the inner city area. Although there is another branch in the inner city area, Chen Lun only needs to stop here.

   It's not that he doesn't want to go to the inner city for activities, but that it belongs to the rich and powerful, and the law and order is quite strict.

  With Chen Lun's current status as a black householder, plus there is still a Floyd who needs to be taken care of, it is difficult to move an inch there.

  So he planned to settle down in the outer city first, and plan something temporarily.

   "Thanks, Uncle Walsh."

  Chen Lun got out of the carriage first, then turned around and held out his hand, but he suddenly remembered that Floyd was not really blind.

  Just as she was about to take back her hand, Floy's little hand reached up first.

  Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.

  Floye gave him a sweet smile.

   "Your Excellency Jack is really an admirable elder brother."

  Walsh took off his round hat and stretched out his big hand.

   "This entrustment to our Yinlong Chamber of Commerce has been successfully completed, and the cooperation is pleasant. I hope that I can share your worries with you next time."

   "Pleasant cooperation."

  Chen Lun stretched out his other hand and shook it with him.

   Walsh suddenly felt a little cold in his palm.

   Spread it out and see two shiny gold pounds.

   "Your Excellency Jack, this..."

   "It's a tip for everyone, a guard was injured for my brother and sister, I feel very guilty...

   Well, goodbye, Uncle Walsh. "

  Walsh looked up and saw that the young man had led Miss Floy away.

  He couldn't help feeling that Sir Jack is really a generous gentleman.

  I haven’t added money yet.

  …

   The two walked a long way along the street.

  Chen Lun originally wanted to let go of Floyd's hand, but failed.

  Floy's little hand was tightly pulled, she leaned closer and whispered:

   "Wouldn't it be striking to see a blind girl left alone?"

   "Huh...? It seems to be the same."

  So Chen Lun stopped worrying about this, and began to look at the surrounding environment to see where it was suitable to settle.

   Soon he saw a notice of rental housing at the door of a flower shop.

  Chen Lun led Floy to stop in front of the notice, and noticed that there was an iron plate embedded in the wall.

   Seven Denton Street.

   After looking at the rental notice for a while, he looked through the glass window of the flower shop next to him and put his gaze on a woman in the shop.

   Across the pots of flowers of various colors, an elderly woman with gray hair is carefully taking care of the flowers in the store.

   tuk tuk...

  The glass was knocked twice.

  The lady turned her head and showed a kind face. Although there are wrinkles on the face, traces of the former beauty can still be seen.

  When she saw the young man holding the blind girl's hand, she smiled and waved, and mouth-shaped:

   "Come in, kid."
