Yes.When Leon was in the Harpoon Gang, except for paying the bills for Pink Sweetheart's food and drink every month, and secretly ordering two sets of children's clothes, the rest would not cost money at all, and now he still has the financial resources, although paying the rent pocket is equivalent to spending ninety percent of his property.And what about half a year later?
Do you have any plans for yourself, Mr.
Leon?
Mrs.
Coleman took a sip of red wine, and you might think that I was an old widow who was troublesome, but I have met many tenants, and I have found that most tenants, if their lives are in chaos and hardship, must affect me in various ways.I'm my age, and I'm looking for a tenant just to add some fresh air to this empty house, and I don't want it to be rotten.You can rest assured of that, Mrs.
Coleman.I've taken a suitable assignment at the Mercenary Guild, and I'll be earning money starting tomorrow.Then my plan is to hire a tutor to study at home, and after a while, when I am older and have more savings, I will find a school of magic to further my studies.Did those people send you out to practice, and you didn't even care about studying anymore?
Mrs.
Coleman blurted out her doubts.That's part of the experience.Leon shrugged, helpless.Mrs.
Coleman was silent for a moment, presumably in the mind of what had happened to Leon, welcome, little sir, sign it, and you are the tenant here.After reading the deed, Leon said: I will eat at your house, so the rent should be one gold and fifteen silver coins.How much food can you eat if you're just a child?
Mrs.
Coleman waved her hand.Thank you, Mrs.
Coleman.Leon did not refuse the old lady's kindness out of pity.When he signed, he couldn't help but think of Lucy, the waitress of the Banpo Village Mercenary Union, what he said to the little girl at that time was excessive, right?
If he had the chance, he should apologize.Leon spoke with Mrs.
Coleman, and the old lady carefully introduced him to several areas of Dyrell.He was warned which areas not to approach, and he was told about the dangers of the sewer area.The zone was established just three years ago, but before that, the sewer zone had been in existence for more than a decade.It was the lowest part of the city and was originally uninhabitable, as the water of the River Dyrill flooded it every year during the summer, so the first three outfalls of the sewers were set up there.Twenty years ago, however, the city government widened the course of the Dyrier River so that larger ships could enter the port, and the launching area was no longer flooded, and more and more people were there.It was the first time Leon had heard of this, and it seemed that he had made the right choice by choosing Mrs.
Coleman as his landlord.In addition to the comfort of the lodging, she was able to hear a lot about the history of the city of Dyrill from the elderly woman.Because these are her personal experiences, they are authentic in comparison.
Stronger.I've heard that the accommodation there is the worst in the North District, and last winter, a lot of people froze to death.Leon said that his points.
Last year, he watched several fires that were burned in the city hall, half of which were in the area where he entered the city, and the other half in the sewer area.There can't be described by the word accommodation at all, this is only used by people, and those who wander in that kind of place can no longer be regarded as people, but just animals.Don't go there, Leon.Even if you're an Awakened One, don't go there, kids like you, as soon as you walk into that place, they'll eat you alive!
Leon nodded, knowing that the words were true.His points.
As I have seen, there are those who feed on their own kind.But unfortunately, Leon is going to deceive the old lady, he is going to fight the giant rat to make money.The sewers of Dyriel City are getting narrower and narrower, only the drains built in the early years of the sewer area are very tall, and he himself is small, but he expected a lot of hunting gains.After dinner, Leon thanked Mrs.
Coleman again, and at the same time Mrs.
Coleman introduced him to a reliable driver of the rental carriage, which Mrs.
Coleman used for herself.The coachman came every morning, and if Mrs.
Coleman was going out the next day, the maid Wendy would tell him the exact time.Martin has served me for more than ten years and is a reliable person.If you want to go out when I'm not using it, you can call him over, it's very safe.Leon thanked the old lady again and again, then said goodnight and followed the maid Wendy downstairs.He only has time to take a look at his future living environment, although in fact he has known it for a long time~ In fact, the kitchen and Wendy's house are also on the first floor, which is also a reason why the rent is cheap.In addition to this, on the ground floor there is a small living room, a room with only a single room, and a larger suite that serves as a residence for León.The large suite doesn't have much furniture, but there are empty bookcases, desks, a suede wooden chair on each side of the desk, and a coffee table, as well as a couch and two single sofas to match the coffee table.You can arrange here a little as you like, just please don't hurt the wallpaper.There are also some unused furniture in the attic that you can pick up after asking your wife.Thanks, I will.If I want to add anything to the room, I will definitely ask Madame and get permission.Wendy nodded, and opened the back room that was Leon's bedroom, which had a wardrobe, a dresser, a large bed that looked very comfortable, and two bedside tables.Tomorrow I will put flowers in a vase in your room, would you like to put them on the head of your bed, or somewhere else?
Let's put it in the outer room.Leon said that he was not too cold to have the scent of flowers in his room.Good.Also, if you wish, you can hire your own servant, the maid can live with me, and the male servant also has a residence.Wendy said this, and laughed at the surprise on Leon's face, this is something that all tenants should know, and although you are young, I think you should know too.Recruiting your own servants is a great deal of autonomy.
Things, a child like Leon, will always be categorized as following the arrangement, not making the arrangement.Leon understood: I got it, and if I met the right person, I would.So, it's getting late, do you need a shower?
May I?
Of course.After Wendy answered, she covered her mouth in panic, oh!
I forgot to show you the bathroom and bathroom!
I beg your pardon, this is a serious mistake!
The bathroom was across from Leon's room, with round pebbles on the floor and an oblong barrel inside.The toilet is next to the kitchen, of course, with a thick wall on both sides, and the toilet is clean and smellless.Although the location may seem strange, Leon has seen all sorts of open air discharges, and this kind of toilet is already the embodiment of civilization.After taking a shower, Leon lay down on the bed with a comfortable face.He closed his eyes but his points.
But they're still busy.They were checking the sewers these days, trying to find a safe way for Leon.As a living being, we always want to live a good life for ourselves and our families.The sewer area of Dyrill City is a place full of negativity, which is the complete opposite of everyone's positive desires.But the sewer area is the most populous area in the city.In fact, most people in Dyrier City believe that the population of the sewer area is more than the population of the slums on the outskirts of several other cities combined.The city of Dyrill is shaped like a rose petal, and the River Dyriel flows about a quarter above the petal.The area on both sides of the river bank is the Iron Tree Zone, because the banks of the river used to be covered with iron trees, but these trees have long since been extinct from the city of Dyriel.The woodshoe-based area and the iron-tree area of the poor residential area form a reverse 7, and the depression of this anti-7 is the sewer area.On the other side of the sewer area, it is next to the stone brick area of the South District.Chapter 41 From Leon's point of view, even if they can only live in shantytowns and die of starvation in winter, the other slums still represent the beginning, the hope of a new life in the city.Landless peasants, poor people in small towns, vagrants, all kinds of people come to Dyrier from all directions, not knowing how to make a living for the time being, but they are also getting used to the city little by little.Although their best outcome is to find a job in a factory, they get seriously ill because of the poverty and fatigue of life in the city, and then lose their jobs due to illness.In the end, I don't know where he died, maybe he didn't even know anyone who could say his name, they could only get a crude wooden box to hold their ashes, and they were buried somewhere.While they are still alive, they may get married and have children, but eighty percent of their children will not survive to adulthood.But there will always be people who succeed, people who can stand in the big city, people who save a sum of money to return to the countryside to start a happy life, and there are very few lucky people who have been promoted to the higher ranks.In short, in other slums, the zero of the people, because it has not yet begun, can always change.The people in the sewer area, also zero, are the most desperate end.The sick and disabled make up the largest population base in the sewer area.Some of them came on their own, and some of them were abandoned by their families.Old man?
Does more than forty count?
There are still many abandoned children in the sewer area.Most of them were the children of female branch girls, and some of them were even the illegitimate children of some wealthy people.Originally, it was difficult for these children to survive, but there were people in the sewer area who took these children in and raised them.So in the sewer area, children under the age of 10 are very common, but children over the age of 10, especially those over the age of 14, suddenly become rare.It can only be said that some of these children are dead, some are still alive, and some are better than dead.Several entrances to the sewer are located in the center of the sewer area, because the sewage in the sewer is the water source for everyone in the sewer area.Leon had to cross a small half of the sewer area, and of course he had to find himself a relatively safe road.Early the next morning, after breakfast, Leon got into Martin's car and asked the other party to pull him to the shopping street first, Leon found a carpenter's workshop, ordered a detachable cart and loaded it into a four-wheeled cart, which could be disassembled and assembled into a box, and Leon was able to carry it on his back.Then he went to the leather shop and ordered a large coat of fish skin for yellow fish.The skin of the yellowfish is very similar to rubber, and Leon can shield his sense of smell, but he doesn't want to step on filth or get dirty with sewage, and this large coat is a reusable protective suit.Finally he went to the weapons shop and ordered two boning knives.The things he asked for were all very simple, except for the slightly more expensive box, the rest of the price was not high, and Leon's wallet could barely last.As he got on Martin's return car, Leon thought: Fortunately, the carriage fare can be accounted for, so that his pocket will not really have a copper plate left.On the morning of the third day, Leon walked to the Church of the God of Nature a block away to register, and seeing that there was a church in front of him, Leon suddenly turned around and walked into the alley.It wasn't that he found out who was following or someone being bullied in the alley, he just took out the amethyst grape from the small money bag, and Leon licked it.Yes, he couldn't help but taste it in the end.
_(:з」∠ _Sure enough, it's cold, and it doesn't smell like anything.
_Leon wanted to try to break down the grape, but after all, he only had one, so he gave up.The small church in this place is more like the church in the hillside village, it is a very ordinary stone house, and the roof is hung with the emblem of the gods.And not a wilderness, as in the case of the cathedral.The church was empty, and there were only three or two sparse prayer seats.The priest was a fat man with squinting eyes, and Leon entered the door, and before he could speak, he had already spoken: Leon?
Leon was stunned for a moment: Yes.The priest patted his stomach and smiled even more happily: I'm Andy· Adrien, I'm glad you to be part of my parish.We're all betting on who you're going to show up with, and you've made me a big win!
He squeezed his eyes at Leon, and I'll give you thirty percent.Uh, thanks?
Leon wasn't sure if it was right to answer this, he thought that his affairs were just going according to the process, but he didn't expect it to actually make a big fuss?
Father Adrien looked at Leon and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything else.Leon took out the amethyst grape and gave the priest his current address.Father Adrien took the crystal grape and shook it twice at Leon It was normal, nothing special: Alright, now you can go home.If there's something, I'll send Peyton · Priest Hogan came to you with this, he is also my student, someone you can trust.The priest gestured to the young priest on the side, and then Leon was ready to go home.I thought it would be busy all morning, but it ended in two minutes, and Leon was speechless.He thought for two minutes that he was going home, but soon came out again, took all the things he had just received, called a carriage, and headed straight for the Hansel Bridge.In the past, when there was still water in the sewer area, there was indeed a bridge on the Hansel Bridge, but later the river was widened, and there was no water in the sewer area, and the Hansell Bridge was also demolished together, and now it is just a place name.The rental carriage will not enter the sewer area, otherwise it will be complete when it goes in, and don't think about it when it comes out, it is very likely that it will disappear with people and cars.The Hansel Bridge is the closest area to the sewer area that rental carriages are willing to go to.Wherever you're going, little one, remember not to get too close to the north.Seeing that he was single with a suitcase on his back, the coachman gave him a suggestion when he got out of the car.Yes, I'll take note, thanks.Leon had already gotten out of the car and walked two steps, he thought of something and walked back again.It was a young coachman, his accent had not yet become a complete Dyrell, and he had a son at home who was about the same age as Leon, so he said a few words to Leon.He didn't even leave immediately, but stayed where he was, looked at him, and when he found that Leon was back, he immediately asked: Do you want to go back?
I'm going back, but not now.Could you please come and pick me up at 4 p.m.?
Wait for me for an hour and a half, and I'll give you the money for lost work.The young coachman hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.So, Leon carried a wooden box on his back and walked into the sewer area step by step.Although no one has ever divided it, there is a clear dividing line between the shanty town and the normal construction area, and as soon as you take a step, you will enter the dense shantytowns.For strangers, the shantytown is a terrible labyrinth, with no roads and roads everywhere.Because the walls here are just tattered planks, broken fishing nets made up of a rope, and even a few bundles of straw erected, they can be removed when they are moved.But you don't know what's behind the wall, it could be a group of hungry children, a big man with a dagger waiting to stab you, or a decomposing corpse.Leon didn't see anyone around when he first walked in, but the crows were flying in the sky, and he knew that there were actually many people watching him.Leon walked forward calmly, and suddenly a person sprang out from the side, raising his hands and pounced on Leon.The man who pounced on him pushed back at a faster speed, and Leon, who continued to walk forward, resounded like a whip swinging around his body.He didn't have a whip, and this was wielding the Leon factor disguised as the wind.Some retreated, but there were still greedy people who didn't know what was going on, and then they were whipped by the invisible whip and screamed, and fled covered in blood.Leon made his way to the entrance of the sewer without stopping, and he dropped the box, assembled it into a cart, and put on the suit.In the middle, a few thieves who thought they couldn't tell Leon from God were taken away.Pushing the cart and pinning the knife, closing his sense of smell, Leon happily entered the sewers.
