While Ling Feng and Long Ze Liyue were chatting about the situation in this city of natural disasters, Natalie's voice came from not far away.
"Hey, have you two already chatted together? It seems that you don't need me to introduce you."
Natalie walked straight towards the two of them. Unlike yesterday, Natalie changed out of her heavy armor and put on a long linen skirt.
Although the dress looked very shabby, it still showed off this woman's relatively hot figure.
"Yeah, we know each other."
Ling Feng looked back at Natalie and nodded slightly towards her.
The origin of the woman Long Ze Liyue should not be simple. At least it is certain that she is definitely not an aboriginal from the lower-class area.
Are you from the upper area?
Or higher... sky area?
Ling Feng didn't know that, in fact, after telling Ling Feng something about Fangges Crystal, Long Ze Liyue did not reveal any more valuable information, but only teased Ling Feng from time to time.
After all, it was a woman who was hanging around in a place like the Evernight City. It was obviously not something Ling Feng could handle.
Fortunately, although Ling Feng couldn't get anything out of her mouth, Ling Feng also didn't reveal too much about the secret of why he was promoted.
In this completely unknown world, if you want to survive, you must first not trust anyone too much.
Even these people from the Annihilation Organization, even Huang Long.
The only one who can be trusted is probably Huang Shaotian.
After all, he and she have known each other for decades.
Apart from being a little lazy and having a bad taste, at least I never cheated myself.
Much better than that bitch!
Natalie walked up to Ling Feng with a smile, looked him up and down, and then continued to ask: "How are you? Have you figured out how to hide your identity?"
"I think I'd better go digging with Captain Braytan."
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, and expressed his choice.
Becoming a cowherd or something like that was such a breakthrough for himself. Ling Feng asked himself that he still couldn't do that step.
"Mining? It's a bit hard and tiring, but since you also have status, you should be able to withstand the alchemical poisonous gas in the mining area." Natalie nodded, but looked at Ling Feng in surprise. "I thought a guy with such delicate skin and tender flesh like you would choose to go to the city that never sleeps."
Ling Feng laughed a few times, "Maybe I still can't break through the bottom line."
"Bah!"
At this moment, the short-legged Corgi rushed out of his cave, apparently hearing what Ling Feng had just said, he immediately snorted angrily: "Do you really think that I, Uncle Corgi, have no bottom line? After all, I am an outlier. Even if I wander around the city that never sleeps, the most I can do is be touched by those ladies, but I am not selling my body and soul!”
"Oh? What if it's beautiful?"
Suddenly, a joking voice came.
Without even thinking about it, Kirkide immediately replied: "You can be beautiful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had let something slip. He quickly covered his mouth and walked aside in despair.
But it turned out that it was Huang Shaotian who was also woken up by the lively sounds outside.
"What a horny corgi!"
Huang Shaotian chuckled and put one hand on Ling Feng's shoulder. When he saw Long Ze Liyue, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Is this beautiful lady our last teammate, Miss Liyue?"
Longze Liyue chuckled, "You have a smooth tongue, you are suitable to be a cowherd in the city that never sleeps!"
"This, this, this...isn't this appropriate? I must be advancing and retreating together with Ling Feng!"
Huang Shaotian glanced at Ling Feng secretly, "How about it, brother Ling Feng, where are you going? If you really want to go to the Nightless City, then I can only, ahem, what..."
"I'm going to mine." Ling Feng said his decision calmly.
Huang Shaotian's face suddenly turned red and green, "No, brother, are you going to suffer that? Ahem, what am I doing? Oh, yes, I figured it out. We two brothers know nothing about the bottom area. You go to the mining area first. As for me, as the eldest brother, I can only sacrifice a little. In a place like the Evernight City, where people talk so much, I might be able to find out some valuable information! Yes, that’s what I mean!”
< br>
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. Of course he knew that Huang Shaotian simply didn't want to suffer hardship in mining, but he really gave him some lies.
"Then thank you so much, Brother Shaotian!"
"Being brothers is in your heart!" Huang Shaotian raised his hand and lightly hammered his chest, "This is what a big brother should do!"
Natalie and Longze Liyue both couldn't help but rolled their eyes.
This guy's face is as thick as the walls of the City of Natural Disasters.
"Since you have decided to go to the mining area, I will take you to the Blackwater Market today to buy some protective users, which will be used in the future."
Natalie glanced at Ling Feng, then looked back at Huang Shaotian, "Kejid, just take him to buy some attire he needs to be a cowherd. This outfit alone is not enough."
"Humph, whoever wants to go can go!"
Kirk Kidd was obviously still remembering Huang Shaotian's grudge against his short legs. He tilted his head and looked nonchalant.
"I'll take him there."
At this moment, Xinghen also walked out of the cave. Although he still looked cold, he was indeed much more reliable than Kejid.
Ling Feng glanced at the crowd. Everyone was here, but Captain Braytan was missing.
"Why don't you see the captain?"
"The captain went to the mine in the middle of the night." Natalie sighed softly, "Do you think you can have much rest time as a miner at Steele Alchemy Factory?"
"Um..."
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, while Huang Shaotian was secretly glad for his wise decision. What kind of miner could this be done by a fool?
……
About half an hour later.
Under the leadership of Natalie, Ling Feng came to the so-called Blackwater Market.
Most of the people here are miners from nearby mines. In addition to the rich and pungent alchemical haze, it is also filled with various sweat odors.
Unlike the various miners walking around on the streets, those who set up stalls to sell various tools and consumables were basically skinny women.
To put it bluntly, they are just the bottom layer surviving in the cracks. "The haze inside the mine is dozens of times worse than outside. Ordinary purification masks are no longer effective. Therefore, you first need to buy a few alchemy masks with stronger protective capabilities, and then a cross made of special mineral materials. A pickaxe can break open the outer shell of the mineral more easily, saving yourself some energy.”
Natalie patiently introduced various precautions to Ling Feng.
Obviously, this should be related to Huang Long's previous instruction that his team should pay special attention to Ling Feng.
"Thank you very much." Ling Feng wrote them down one by one, and by the way, he also remembered the path to this market in detail.
Suddenly, Ling Feng saw many people gathered in front of a huge notice board in the center of the market. Ling Feng looked carefully and saw that it was covered with various portraits.
It seems like a wanted order?
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he didn't seem to know the words of this world.
"Natalie, is that a wanted warrant?"
"Well, that's the wanted sign from Steele's Alchemy Factory." Natalie lowered her voice and whispered: "Basically all the members of our Obliteration Organization are on the wanted list, but it's just a matter of watching the excitement. This is a ditch. District, no one will care about this.”
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed and he looked carefully, and sure enough he found the portraits of Braytan, Natalie, Xinghen and Kejid.
However, Longze Liyue was not included.
It seems that she is hiding very well. At least Steele Alchemy Factory should not know her true identity yet.
At this moment, some men wearing standard robes and white masks on their faces, surrounded by nearly twenty corpse soldiers, lined up the crowd and walked towards the huge notice board.
Then, the men in robes began to update the portraits on the wanted list.
Some of the portraits that had been hanging high were torn off, crumpled into a ball, and thrown aside.
Natalie's expression looked a little solemn, and she clenched her fists as if she was restraining her emotions.
Every portrait that was removed meant that one of their companions was captured or even killed directly.
But this time, the robed messengers updated a total of more than twenty portraits, and finally posted a brand new portrait in the middle.
Ling Feng took a closer look and his eyes suddenly widened!
Holy shit!
Isn’t this my portrait?
Fortunately, everyone is wearing masks now, which finally makes Ling Feng feel more at ease.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a brightly colored robe and a goatee walked out of the corpse soldiers and walked in front of everyone.
This guy, exposed to the alchemical haze, could actually do without a mask?
"Everyone, listen up. The last portrait posted is the target named by the emissaries of Purdue Academy to be arrested. Anyone who can provide some valuable information will have the opportunity to obtain a complete Squares crystal! ”
For a moment, the miners who were still confused and listless suddenly showed excited expressions, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"A square crystal, are you so excited?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it.
Natalie rolled her eyes at Ling Feng, "Then do you know the amount of the reward for leader Huanglong?"
"How much?" Ling Feng shrugged, "I seem to be illiterate."
"The leader's bounty is only three square crystals. In the bottom area, even a famous singer like Liyue in the Evernight City can only earn a few hundred crystal shavings a month. And the value of one square crystal is equal to one hundred thousand crystal chips! ”
"This..."
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he was so valuable, which made him want to report him.
However, is it actually Purdue Academy that wants to hunt him down?
He still remembered that the Purdue Academy was one of the three chambers of the Adjudication Council, and those emissaries wearing robes probably had quite a lot of backgrounds!
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
The middle-aged man with a goatee narrowed his eyes, scanned the crowd, and continued: "Next, everyone can accept the blessings from the Purdue Academy as usual, as long as you donate the crystal chips on your body, You will get eternal salvation! You will not have to suffer in the lower area, you can get tickets to the upper area, enjoy the sunshine and the air! This is the opportunity for you sinners from Pudu Academy to get salvation!"
As soon as the words fell, all the miners and traders in the market knelt on the ground and called out to the envoys: "Please bless the envoys, I am willing to dedicate everything!"
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. Is this what Pudu Academy calls preaching?
What a Pudu...
"Are all the people in the bottom area sinners? What crimes have they committed?" Ling Feng asked Natalie in a low voice.
"According to the teachings of Pudu Academy, all people in the lower-class areas have original sin when they come to this world. Only by dedicating crystal chips and buying their blessing coupons can they wash away their sins and obtain salvation! Only after their merits are completed, can they get through Tickets to the upper level area ”
Natalie clenched her fists, "To put it bluntly, this is just a way to fool the world!"
After saying that, Natalie quickly gave Ling Feng a hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's mix in with the crowd and don't be exposed! Otherwise, it will be very troublesome!"
Normally a thug from Steele's Alchemy Factory would be fine, but when it comes to an envoy from Purdue Academy, it's too involved.
Once you have a head-on conflict with them, it will only cause unwarranted trouble.
Of course, Ling Feng also understood this truth, so he could only follow Natalie, bend down, and blend in with the crowd to avoid being discovered by the instructors.
Seeing that everyone had surrendered obediently, the envoys from the Pudu Academy nodded with satisfaction.
Then, the emissaries walked out from among the corpse warriors, and very skillfully collected all the crystal chips presented by the people, and finally stored them in a huge metal box.
Then, one of the leading emissaries took out a stack of talismans from his wide sleeves and threw them into the crowd.
"The great Lord of natural disasters, sends blessings! You will finally be liberated!"
The talisman paper flew away in the wind, and everyone suddenly fell into madness. In order to fight for a piece of talisman paper, they were beaten to the head and bloody.
"Lowly and dirty rats, do they really think they will ever see the light of day again?"
Looking at the crazy crowd, the priest secretly sneered in his heart, not thinking that the residents of the lower-class areas in front of him were human beings at all.
The middle-aged man with a goatee frowned and whispered to the instructor: "Sir, is it against the rules for you to do this? If too many miners are killed or injured, it will also be a loss for Steele Alchemy Factory."
"If it dies, make another batch. It just consumes some inventory."
The leader of the church snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter what these untouchables do, but that experimental subject is very important to the three houses! You should know what to do!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The man with the goatee wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will definitely catch that experimental subject in the shortest possible time! As long as he is still in the bottom area of the third natural disaster city, he will definitely escape." It’s just the palm of the hand of the alchemy factory!”(End of Chapter)
