"Be careful! Open the gate The heavy sluice rises with the winch slowly rolling, revealing the real face after the kongbridge. The shadow of the bridge deck falls on every person who goes through the bridge opening, which seems to be a silent welcome or silent laughter. This is a city that will devour people. It is large and complex enough to let people linger here for a lifetime. It is a labyrinth as well as a whirlpool. Once trapped in it, the snare made by complex relationships and the iron nails created by human desires will keep people trapped in it forever. It''s not surprising what happens in a place like this.
"Hey, all the goods have been unloaded. Thanks to you, I don''t know how long I''ll be stuck in that ghost town. It''s a pity that I have to go home and have a peace with the old novel. I can''t go ashore and have a drink with you The boatman stood on the deck and looked at the several people who had gone down from the ship and said heartily. As soon as he got out of trouble, he ran straight to the river and didn''t even go home on the way.
This favor is indeed owed by the boatman, and Yu Li has nothing to be moved about. But Yu Qing, they still like the man who lives on the river. After throwing the money bag containing the reward to each other, the mage shrugged his shoulder slightly, "then drink it next time. Sooner or later, we''ll go back here, and we''ll have a good drink with you. The money is supposed to be an appointment for you first. "
Selling timber and transporting pedestrians along the river may be considered a profitable business for some people, but in the final analysis, the profit that a person can earn from a ship is limited and can''t afford to stop for a long time. Cheese can not give the other party freight, which has been agreed for a long time. They help the boatman get out of trouble as soon as possible, and the latter will take them to the gallop for free. However, since they are not short of money, why should they be stingy? Now giving money to the other party is to leave a way back to save time. If you have to run away, you don''t even have a person who is willing to take them.
No one can be clever in the world. Water and fire are the most merciless. People who live in the water and fire look rough, but what they think is not simple. The boatman almost understood the meaning of cheese when he took the purse. He laughed and didn''t say any more. He just nodded to salute the mage and left the boat. There are some things, even if you see through, you don''t need to be so anxious to make sure. After all, he doesn''t know whether cheese is going to rob the house or kill people and set fire to others. If there is real trouble, he can help, naturally will help, can not help, that also had to stay away from some. Don''t say it''s sentimental. If everyone is righteous, the world will be in chaos.
The figure of the boatman disappeared outside the gate, and the people who stayed in the gate also shifted their attention from this small separation. They now have a whole city to face, but they have no time to sigh. Jian Qi and ATA lead a horse and look around for the exit of the wharf. In fact, this is not difficult to find, because in addition to the boards close to the water, there are a large number of stairs and ramps around to lead to higher places. It is thought that this design is to prevent the flood of the river from causing the city built on the water surface to be submerged. Very reasonable, thought cheese, taking the lead on the nearest ramp.
As it claims, torrent contains all the rivers that come down from the upstream and what they bring. Just in a small dock, they can see pedestrians with different skin color, hair color and even race. Some of them are workers, some are businessmen, and there are travelers like them who seem to have no definite purpose. Of course, there are also some nasty and malicious guys, especially after seeing the two prairie horses and ATA''s appearance, some people with faces hiding under their hoods have begun to whisper. But somehow, when they saw cheese and sword seven, they didn''t have the following.
"It''s not right." Jian Qi also noticed those guys. He was not afraid that the other side would trip down the obstacles to make Yin moves. If he could not cope with this kind of thing, he would have fallen into a ditch. What he said is wrong, which means that in the absence of a manager, these local snakes will take the initiative to retreat. It''s not like being a scoundrel. These people shouldn''t be so timid.
"There''s nothing wrong. Remember the rules the captain told us about? The only rule of this city, respect. " When cheese heard and understood the meaning of his companion, he said, "this kind of respect has two meanings. The positive side makes this city full of tolerance and can accommodate all people and opinions. But if you think about it in turn, there is no so-called Lord, no army, or even a unified Wei''an system. What do you think is keeping this place from becoming impossible? Being respectful to others means that if you feel offended, you can fight back. Everyone here can become a murderer, and there''s no responsibility. "
"Do you keep a distance because you intimidate each other?" The sword seeker''s tone was a little hesitant, and he began to feel that the city was not as interesting as it was from afar.
"No exaggeration. It''s the instinct of intelligent creatures to gang up. Here, race, gender, occupation and purpose may become some kind of labels. They may notice that some labels on us are not easy to provoke, so they give up. For example, maybe in this city, the cat is a sacred animal, and all cat owners are protected The mage''s words were just a joke to KAILAS. The cat goblin had been acting like an ordinary cat all the way. Now he is also lying on the back of the horse led by ATA, and he seems not to be attracted by the lively scenery around him.But this assumption was quickly overturned, because when they got to the real place of the city, the huge platform on the water, there were a lot of vendors selling cat meat. And looking at that, it seems very normal to buy and sell cat meat here. In front of the stand with cat skin, some customers are eating food made from cats. The mage breathed out a little and murmured, "there must be no witches in this place. It would be strange for those mad women who love cats like their lives not to directly throw the city into the river if they see this scene. Or, there are witches here... "
Guess, it shouldn''t be on the street. Cheese in time to stop thinking, they now need a place to stay, the more in such a strange environment, a reliable foothold is more necessary. So in this strange city, what kind of foothold is reliable? It''s hard to avoid a thief''s nest in an ordinary hotel. Would you like to ask a local person for help? But how can the local people not cheat them?
"Hey, boy! Watch your horse! It''s almost in my head! " Angry voice from behind rings, turn around, sword seven is busy to apologize. The object of his apology was also the one who had just complained. His height was only up to the belly of the sword seeker. With his long, iconic beard, he was undoubtedly a dwarf. And dwarfs don''t like horses, and that''s not news.
Cheese looked at the dwarf and frowned. He knew who to ask for a foothold.
