Chapter 17 Shadow Sequence—Wanderer
There are not many people in the park.
Xiao En found a place to sit down. Behind him was a large banyan tree with a broad canopy. He didn’t know much about trees. He could only identify the nearby maple trees and cypress trees. Not far away was the flower garden. Surrounded by a fence, in the center is a square paved with marble slabs, and on the steps in the distance is a huge unnamed monument.
There are young people having a casual dinner here. They spread a white cloth on the green lawn. It looks like they are a group of college students.
There are three universities in Dorne, which is amazing. The nearest one is Caesar University, which is basically an aristocratic school.
There are restaurants nearby.
Xiao En’s lunch was a piece of pan-fried fish fillet with lemon and a vegetable salad sprinkled with olive oil. The taste was hard to say. Eating grass was indeed not his habit. It cost 11 dinars and the price was not the same. Not cheap.
However, the restaurant provides a cup of black tea with milk and sugar.
Too sweet.
Xiao En is not used to drinking.
After walking around the park area, Xiao En went straight to the dock factory. Listening to the roar of the whistle in the distance, he sat on a bench and stared into the distance.
The dock area is quite dirty.
But it has the feeling of city life here, with crowded streets, hawkers, and people coming and going. Although the city hall has sent people to manage it, the shops along the way will still put out their goods and take up some space. The streets and markets are crowded with people. Citizens with average conditions will come here to buy daily necessities because the prices are much cheaper. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are piled on both sides of the market. It can be seen that the people here have a good living standard.
Xiao En picked up three tomatoes, raised his head and said: "How much?"
The boss is an old woman in her fifties, and she was a little surprised that Xiao En was wearing such decent clothes. Come to the market, raise your index finger and say: "1 Seth."
The purchasing power of 1 yuan is still acceptable.
The other side leads to the livestock area. From a distance, I can smell the smell of cattle and sheep excrement, as well as the faint smell of blood after slaughter. Xiao En looked at the mud on the ground mixed with cattle and sheep excrement. Turned around and left here.
He also had more than two thousand nine hundred dinars on him.
This is a lot of money.
The bulletin board next to the dock area is full of recruitment notices. The formal workers are more popular, with a salary of about 300-400 dinars per month. The basic income of other temporary workers is not high, and the female workers who starch and wash clothes are With a monthly income of only 100 dinars, it can only be said to be barely enough to survive.
The food here is very popular.
There are many small shops selling food on both sides of the market, some of which don’t even have a place to sit. Vegetable burritos cost 3 pesos each, and stewed meat with meat is 7 pesos each. This portion of minced meat pasta is the closest thing to Xiao En's taste, because it tastes a bit like the pasta from his previous life.
The food here is a bit like Western-style Italian cuisine.
There are dock workers who spend money here, and the cost of a meal is about 1.2 dinars.
Formal workers here are considered a relatively wealthy group.
"Sir." A policeman on patrol spotted Xiao En. He was not sure if he was a police officer, but maybe an auxiliary police officer. He was wearing an old uniform and holding a baton in his hand. He had a friendly attitude towards Xiao En and said politely: " This is not the place for a decent person like you.”
“Be careful with your wallet.”
Xiao En seemed to attract some malicious looks when he took out his wallet. He noticed it slightly, nodded and thanked: "Okay. Thank you."
The city of Dorne is indeed a prosperous metropolis.
On the left side of the pier is a low and messy old city that is undergoing urban reconstruction. Because the rent is cheap, there are many outsiders. The monthly rent is only 20-30 dinars. On the right are rows of new residential buildings, usually three-story buildings, and most of the residents are people with stable jobs.
Xiao En felt like he was being targeted.
"A gangster?" Xiao En frowned.
Places like the pier are full of people. He had just exposed his bulging wallet when he was taking money in the market. Maybe he was targeted at that time.
A bearded middle-aged man, a young man wearing a beret, and a thin little boy.
Shawn doesn’t want to get into trouble.
He turned around and prepared to leave the dock area, but suddenly a bell rang, and then a crowd of people appeared in front of his sight.
This is a three-way intersection.
The time is 12:05. It happened to be the time when workers in the dock area came out from get off work. There were also a large number of people coming out of the shipyard port. Some vendors without fixed stalls were also rushing to the dock area because the factories here had a half-hour lunch break. .
In the morning, there were patrol police to drive them away, and there were basically very few mobile vendors, but now they are allowed to set up temporary stalls to make a little money. Most of these vendors are children and women, and the products they provide are mainly food. Workers in the dock area basically have lunch nearby.
The hour at noon is the most crowded time here.
Xiao En felt something was wrong very keenly, because the middle-aged man with a big beard was the only one left at the corner of the market.
They are going to attack me!
Xiao En tightened his grip on the umbrella in his hand. This thing was more like a decoration, a bit of a British style habit. Dorne City only needs to carry an umbrella at all times during the rainy season.
He shuttled among the crowded crowd, preparing to leave here, while observing the surroundings vigilantly, searching for traces of the other two people.
Probably a group of pickpockets.
The crowded crowd made Xiao En's movement very slow. There were two streams of people at this three-way intersection, and they were all rushing towards the dock area. This put Xiao En, who had just reached the intersection, in a dilemma.
Xiao En, who was walking through the crowd, suddenly felt someone touch his back. He turned around very alertly and saw an apologetic girl. She was carrying a basket with a basket inside. There were ready-made dry and hard black bread, and a few of them had fallen to the ground.
"I'm sorry, sir." The girl apologized hurriedly.
She seemed to have been hit by someone and staggered a little. Even the bread fell to the ground. Because she cherished food, she was worried about being stepped on by passers-by, so she hurriedly squatted down to protect her and picked it up.
The girl was dressed in shabby clothing, and the food was probably an important part of her family's daily expenses.
Xiao En subconsciously wanted to help, but suddenly he stood up alertly, stretched out his right hand in an instant, and directly grabbed the young man who passed by him like a loach. But at this moment, another thin figure bumped into his left shoulder. Before Xiao En could react, he felt someone touch his pocket.
A very dexterous right hand stretched out like a butterfly through a flower, holding a special sharp knife between the index finger and middle finger. In an instant, it cut open the pocket and took away Xiao En's wallet.
There is a thief!
Xiao En grabbed a thin arm, and the other person seemed a little surprised. He made a sound, and his palm turned over instantly. Xiao En felt a twinge of pain, and then the hand retracted like lightning. , by the time Xiao En reacted, the wallet in his pocket had already been taken away.
Right in front of him, two thieves cooperated to steal his wallet. When he tried to search for each other, the two men had disappeared into the crowd like loaches.
There was no wound on Xiao En’s palm, just a little numb.
"Shadow Sequence, Wanderer." Xiao En frowned. He did not expect that he would meet other extraordinary beings so soon.
After advancing to become a transcendent, Xiao En's physical fitness and five senses are improving. Although he is not abnormal to the extent that the butcher can move at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye, ordinary people want to get close to him. But it is not easy.
If it hadn't been for that last sting, Xiao En wouldn't have been able to determine his identity as a transcendent, and would have thought he had met an extremely clever thief.
The original magic power in Xiao En's body surged.
This means that the other party just used supernatural power. When extraordinary people confront each other head-on, they can instantly identify each other's identity. There is a trace of resonance when all extraordinary abilities are activated.
The extraordinary beings in the rogue sequence are extremely agile, and a spellcasting sequence like Xiao En's cannot keep up with the opponent's speed at all.
"Is it the hand of a magician?"
Xiao En has just completed the general knowledge on the mysterious side. He has only read half of the twelve mythical paths, and there happens to be one of them. Shadow sequence rogues, assassins, phantoms, ghost faces, etc., the opponent should not be high sequence rogues, otherwise Xiao En would not even have time to react.
Extraordinaries in the real world are very rare, and most of them have no formal inheritance. They often obtain a trace of extraordinary power by chance.
For someone like Xiao En, who had Ms. Herat as a mentor from the beginning, he belongs to an extremely rare inheritance sect.
“After the essence of the world was captured.”
“All supernatural powers were locked, and most of the twelve mythical paths were opened by the souls of other worlds.”
“Because all souls from other worlds have unique talents.”
"In the beginning, they stole back part of the supernatural essence from the indescribable terror."
Some souls from other worlds are born with supernatural abilities, and even because of their arrival, the mythical path of the weird country has changed. , from the original five paths to the current twelve mythical paths.
After the transcendent in the rogue sequence is promoted, it is basically similar to Assassin's Creed.
