Chapter 884 The Dark Side of the City
Chapter 884 The Dark Side of the City
After dealing with these matters, Xiu went out to eat, and by the way, visited this famous city in the Kanto area.
Hualan City is not located by the sea, but this city is extremely rich in water resources. Naturally, the reason is that the water source flowing from the mountains to the north and the mountains to the west converge here to form a big river, which then flows east into the sea.
And Hualan City is built on the bank of that big river, with extremely rich water resources, and you can meet rivers and creeks wherever you walk.
Under this environment, Xiu also understood why those trainers who specialized in water-type elves liked this kind of place.
In fact, Hualan City is different from those big cities that were developed after the alliance was established. It was very developed as early as the kingdom period.
The reason is naturally that this place used to be a river transportation node of the kingdom, it was close to Jinhuang City, the capital of the kingdom at that time, and had water resources, so a large amount of supplies were transferred here every day.
It can be seen that the complicated river channels in the city were actually formed by manual excavation and water diversion.
If you overlook the entire city, you can also see the distinct old city and new city.
The old town is on the north side of the city, which refers to the area near the riverside wharf. The houses there are basically not high, and the architectural style tends to be more ancient, and some seem dilapidated, or full of traces of history.
The new urban area refers to the south, where the architectural style is relatively modern, and large buildings such as high-rise buildings are everywhere.
And because it is newly developed, the urban planning is more reasonable than that of the old city, and the more complete infrastructure has attracted more people. There is also a clear gap in the prosperity and population distribution of the two places, and there is even a sense of tearing.
The elf center here was originally in the old city, but after several reconstructions, it finally stopped at the junction of the two places.
After leaving the elf center, Xiu casually found a better restaurant and had a good meal with the elves before wandering slowly on the street.
He is not interested in the steel forest made of reinforced concrete, on the contrary, the old urban area is more attractive to him.
So he was heading north.
It's just that today it's very unusual that he is not carrying Casey with him, but a phantom of a skeleton.
Some time ago, the Night Patrol Spirit was just hatched and was still in its infancy just like the little Fudan back then. Its characteristic is that it has no intelligence, and it is difficult to communicate basically following instinctive actions.
That's why after absorbing the negative energy, it enters the body of the cultivator to digest it. Basically, it goes to sleep when you're full, and eats when you're full.
After maintaining this situation for a long time, the growth of the night watchman was greatly improved because of the sufficient supply of negative energy.
This is also one of the advantages of energy body elves. They only need enough energy to grow quickly, and they don't need to wait for physical development.
Gradually, the night watchman began to communicate with Xiu. Although it was just a simple mood swing, it was enough for Xiu to be surprised.
Basically every night he spends a lot of time communicating with this little guy to build a good relationship.
It's funny to say, the Night Watcher didn't want to drill into him after the [Force of Everlasting] erupted last time, but it also didn't like to go into the poke ball, because as an energy body, it didn't need to sleep to maintain its state.
Xiu could only find a thumb-sized obsidian to take with him as a temporary residence.
This was left over from his previous work on Sealed Artifacts. I didn't expect it to be quite suitable, at least the Night Patrol Spirit thought it was very good.
And Xiu took it to absorb the negative emotions that permeated the entire city, apart from cultivating feelings.
This is not a very strange thing, as long as there is emotion, there will be emotions, and naturally there will be relative negative emotions.
Besides, there are so many people gathered in the city, so it must be more abundant than the wild.
And this would be a good after-dinner snack for the Night Watchers.
"Be careful not to be seen, I will take you to some places for dinner."
Night Watcher's figure became blurred again, clinging to Xiu's body like a thin layer of mist.
No matter what kind of city it is, there will always be some special places that can provide people with emotional outlets, so negative emotions will naturally accumulate.
The crazier these places are, the more illegal they are. Hidden in the corners of the city, it is difficult for ordinary locals to find them, let alone strangers who come here for the first time.
But he had his own way, so he buried his head and walked towards the increasingly old and dilapidated place.
But soon he stopped in a dark alley. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue walking, but the road ahead was blocked by two weird youths in strange clothes.
"Is something wrong~" Xiu slowly raised his head to look at the person who came.
I don't know if the alley is too dark or what, but his face gives people a vague feeling, and he can't see clearly at all.
Coupled with his bland and somewhat excessive words, like a wandering ghost, it actually directly made the two of them feel a little scared.
It's just that young people always feel that their face is more important than their lives, and Leng is their only synonym.
As if feeling that they had lost face, they directly pulled out the gleaming knife and shook it in front of Xiu, and said sharply, "Hurry up and take out all the money!"
"Hurry up!" The other echoed, and it seemed that they often did this kind of thing from their proficiency.
It's just that Xiu was unmoved, and still spoke in that weird tone.
"You can see me~"
Just as the last word was uttered, the mist on his face suddenly condensed, and a skull rushed towards the two of them.
There was a scream in the dark alley, but it soon fell silent again.
After a while, Xiu walked out of it, tightened his coat in the face of the cold wind, and then continued to walk deeper into the street.
Under the guidance of well-meaning people, he quickly found illegal places in the city.
This is a casino hidden in the folk houses, and it is the largest nearby that he found in the memory of those people.
Not all casinos are legal, except for the special status of Rainbow City, gambling is basically prohibited in other cities.
But everyone knows this thing, there is no such thing on the surface, but there are countless casinos in the dark, as long as human beings exist, it is impossible to completely eliminate them.
It's just that as soon as he got close to Xiu, he could feel the fluctuations from the night watchman, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, let's take a stroll tonight~"
Xiu didn't care about the miscellaneous fish who guarded the door, and walked in without hesitation.
The fact that this kind of casino can be opened so big means that there must be someone behind it. It is never afraid of people entering, but afraid of no one entering.
You can't see anything from the outside, but it's brightly lit inside. Unlike the old exterior walls, the decoration inside is very formal. It can be seen that the boss here has put a lot of effort into it.
