After three days of bumpy driving on rugged country roads, Arthur finally learned to drive a carriage on the first day. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the five of them arrived at the second town in the east of Brighton, the town of Polai, which was completely ruled by gangs. This town
Compared with Lumby Town, it is a lot more deserted. There are no roads built with bluestones, and wind and stones are always passing by. It reminds Arthur of the Ford Town he arrived in when he was a child. The residents here are more plainly dressed, and ragged passers-by can always be seen.
He fell down on the loess streets because of hunger or exhaustion.
"This town is dead."
This was the only word Buchington said when he entered this town where even the entrance only had two stones placed randomly.
Since he separated from the Sixth Reconnaissance Team, Buchlinton would not only exchange a few words with Jess Lagdis every day while driving, but most of the time he would sit alone in a car in a daze. He was thinking about a problem, that
It was City Lord Edwards and Admiral Horton who asked him to set up a special force to perform missions in Nozil City. Did he have any other purpose? What made Buchlinton suspect that the root of all this was his encounter with the Sixth Reconnaissance Team led by George.
This is not something Arthur needs to worry about for the time being.
After arriving in Polai Town, Arthur, who had not left the carriage for three days, finally got some time to stretch his muscles. Buchlinton took Jess to replenish the supplies consumed on the road, and Jie Lin went to visit the blacksmith shop in the town.
Lagerdis naturally left the carriage parked at the entrance of the town, and they agreed to leave the town before dinner. The reason why they chose to park outside the town instead of inside the town was all because of the special characteristics of this city.
Different from the previous town of Lumby, Lumby is more of a secret fight between gangs, and the baron is still sitting on the surface, while Polai Town is a town ruled entirely by gangs. Businessmen who pass here to go to the Elf Forest usually
He has business dealings with the gangsters here, and tourists from afar will never choose to stop in this town.
Arthur and Buchlington separated and followed the carefree Jie Lin into the town.
"Arthur," before she reached the first open daily necessities store, Jielin suddenly turned around and pointed at Arthur's nose, and said piercingly: "Why are you following me? Is it because of our relationship these days?
To make you fall in love with me, let me explain to you first that I have very high standards and your age and taste are not to my liking at all..."
Arthur couldn't react to Jielin's string of words. Seeing that Jielin was still going to chatter, Arthur quickly pointed at Jielin's pocket to express his innocence, "You have all the banknotes, I just want to see if I can buy something."
"The money belonged to Buchlington. Before getting off the bus, he gave Jie Lin, who was going to the blacksmith's shop, a total of one hundred worth of banknotes.
Jie Lin looked at Arthur suspiciously. She really couldn't see any sign that Arthur was lying, so she had to give Arthur fifty.
"Then don't follow me now. You will be laughed at if you take a child to a place where you can enjoy sweat and youth." Swinging her ponytail, Jielin disappeared on the street, looking for the blacksmith shop in this town.
The human blacksmith shop is different from the dwarf blacksmith shop. The human blacksmith shop is a processing place that integrates equipment processing and instrument forging, while the dwarf blacksmith shop mainly transforms ores and manufactures cold weapons. Jielin mentioned on the carriage that since this time,
The gangsters discovered the shortcomings of the musket they developed, and kept clamoring to find a blacksmith shop in Polai Town to learn from it.
Putting his pocket money in his pocket, Arthur also has a new goal to find in this town. He needs a weapon. Fist is not a weapon against everything, and he does not like repeating muskets. Arthur wants to find a weapon more.
With a cold weapon at his disposal, Arthur found that he had almost no effect during the breakout in Lumby Town. His body was not strong enough and he could not shoot or fight. His only function was to follow the strong George and deal with it. George did not have time to take care of it.
The little gangster on.
This is not what Arthur wants to become stronger, he wants to grow himself.
However, Arthur stood at the crossroads of Bowery Town and looked around. Not far from the center of the town, there were several high-rise buildings that could only be seen from Clay Street and Goss Street in Brighton. The attached signs described
There are various goods for sale and merchants. These are not what Arthur is looking for, so where should he go to find weapons now.
All he could see were refugee-like residents and daily necessities shops. Arthur stood at the intersection and searched for a long time but could not find the weapon shop he wanted. While he was debating whether to go to the blacksmith shop Jielin mentioned, Arthur heard a strange voice for a long time.
And the familiar sound of electric current came from inside the body.
"South...South..."
Accompanied by roaring sounds, after becoming a thunder wizard, Arthur once visited the chaotic world of consciousness in his sleep, where he heard the electric current calling his name for the first time, and this time he heard the thunder element for the second time.
the sound of.
South, is there anything over there? Arthur looked to the south, except for a few one-story residential buildings, Arthur couldn't see anything anymore. "It has no purpose anyway, right? Let's go and have a look.
"It seems like he is talking to himself, but in fact, Arthur is trying to ask about the thunder element in his body. The elements have their own thoughts and perceptions. This is a fact that Arthur can know now.
Going south along the dusty streets, Arthur saw a different face of this town. Under the rule of gangsters, the residents here were polarized. One type was the scrawny one Arthur saw now on the street, unsure of what to do next.
The ordinary residents lying on the ground include the shop owner who looks like a Brighton aristocrat and the bodyguard who wears a round hat and a white shawl. Under the cloak of gangsters running the town is ruthless capitalism.
Squeezing the town's economy.
Arthur sympathized with these undressed people on the street, but before he left the carriage, he was severely warned by Bucklington not to pay attention to these homeless people on the street. They could have gone to other villages or Lumby Town for better development.
But in order to get a piece of the pie in this town where they could easily get the money from passing businessmen, they chose to be squeezed to death in this city.
Worthy of sympathy, but not worth saving.
After walking for about half an hour, Arthur has arrived at a low wall made of stones. Judging from the boundaries of this town, it is not even as good as a small village. In sharp contrast, the offices in the center of the town look like high-end companies.
's building.
"What now?" We have arrived at the southernmost exit of Polai Town, and we are already out of town. Arthur has to ask about the thunder element in his heart again.
"Southeast...southeast..."
Arthur was not delighted to receive a reply from the thunder element again. He couldn't help but start to think about whether other wizards usually talked to the elements in this way? From a book called "Introduction to Spiritual Power" in the bookstore, Arthur learned that this kind of behavior belongs to the spirit.
disease.
"Southeast...southeast..."
The electric sound continued to explode, and Arthur had no choice but to continue heading southeast, walking through the knee-high wheat fields. This reminded Arthur of playing in Green Village when he was a child, and working in the wheat fields with the villagers whose names he did not know.
days.
The thunder element kept reminding Arthur of the approximate location. When the setting sun shone on Arthur's entire back, Arthur finally climbed over a layer of mossy rocks and came to the edge of a mire pool.
"Below...below..."
"Are you serious?" Arthur looked at the stinking mire of unknown depth. He couldn't imagine what created this mire.
Lei Yuan repeated the following azimuth word, and the frequency of the sound became faster and faster, making Arthur's head dizzy. He had to grit his teeth and step into the mud. With one step, a lot of garbage was turned out, and Arthur felt the excrement.
He couldn't hold back his breath and almost spit it out. Thinking of the wheat field next to him, Arthur's face blended with the color of the mud.
Holding back his nausea, Arthur reached out and dug around in the mud. He touched a lot of bottles and jars, but there was still no movement of what the thunder element wanted. After touching the mud for about thirty seconds, Arthur's fingers
When he encountered the iron-like object, Thunder Elemental suddenly became quiet. Now he was sure that Arthur had found the item that Thunder Elemental wanted. Holding his breath, Arthur took out the iron object he touched from the mud.
Although it had a strong stench, Arthur still discovered what it was.
This is a dagger, an arm-long dagger. After the dirt flows from the sword, the dagger emits a dazzling light under the setting sun.
