Chapter 27 Stimulation
The distribution of houses here is like a spider web, the air is humid and hot, and the environment is even worse. Smog is lingering, steam is rising, the wind is filled with ashes, and garbage is all over the streets. It can almost be said that there is a rotten smell coming from inside. This place
Compared with the Hall of Glow, it is a completely different world.
A heaven and a hell.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Wow, is this place a slum or a garbage dump?" Lu En felt like he couldn't step in. This place was too... the smell was so harsh to the eyes.
But Nana became alert. She tugged on the corner of Lu En's clothes: "Master, be careful."
The chaotic garbage dumps and the surrounding slums reminded Nana of her childhood. It is true that clean and comfortable places are not associated with that kind of place, but there are not many dangers lurking here.
At the very least, the underworld in the city must gather in such a place. According to Nana's experience, the United Chamber of Commerce definitely has an unclear relationship with the underworld.
"I know that according to the setting, this kind of place must have many senior masters who have hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Because of some special things, they live here and hide their names..." Lu En raised his forehead: "But this has nothing to do with the fact that there are people shitting on the street.
What does it matter! That person was urinating on the street just now, and the yellow layer on the ground was almost 2 centimeters thick, and it was all compacted by the carriage! I really don’t want to step in it!"
Lu En pointed at the road and shouted, just standing outside and watching him is enough! Do the people in the United Chamber of Commerce have this kind of quality?! There are flies flying everywhere and buzzing, and they will jump on people if they are not careful.
His face looked extremely disgusting. If he hadn't closed his mouth tightly, Lu En had no doubt that these flies would have jumped into his mouth.
"Well, sir, there is a cleaner road, but it takes a long detour. If you want -" Bai said quickly from the side.
"Then go to a clean road!" Lu En turned around and left. People in this place just empty their toilets on the street. It's like the original medieval times! He was deceived by the tidy city he had built for the Hall of Glow.
As expected, this is still a backward and ignorant era!
Bai quickly led the way and took Lu En around from the other side. However, the further he walked towards this "clean road", the more Lu En woke up from the shadow of the Excrement Street over there.
A clean road is better said to be a desolate road. If the previous excrement avenue was only dirty, at least it was still prosperous and had many residents. It was dirty and messy, but it was popular.
But the further you walk towards the clean road, the less and less people you can feel.
The smooth roads disappeared, as did the buildings built with magic. They were replaced by dilapidated houses that fit the characteristics of the times. Many houses were made of wooden boards and straw, with no doors, and no floors inside. The floors were just dirt. From the outside
There were no beds, and they were sleeping on the floor on straw mats. There were a few earthen pots beside the house, which were the only remaining furniture.
These houses don't even have doors, so the owners probably know there's nothing to steal inside.
Walking further to this place, it feels like you have left the city of Lalante and entered the suburbs.
"Sir, go around here and enter the city from another place, which is the other entrance to the big market. That entrance is much cleaner." Bai led the way in this place familiarly, and seemed to be quite familiar with the roads in the suburbs.
Lu En nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "Where are the people here? I only saw houses, but no people."
Bai's expression changed for a moment, but then he recovered and said to Lu En responsibly: "The people here...have all gone to work. This area is very poor. There are very few people during the day and they only come back to sleep at night."
"Work? Even children? I see there aren't even children here." Lu En looked around, it was like no man's land here.
"Yes, even children." Bai nodded and said with a smile.
"What about the sick and the elderly?" Lu En asked.
Bai replied so politely: "There are no sick or old people here, sir."
When she said this, her expression was very calm.
Lu En did not continue to ask, he understood.
In this kind of place, getting sick means death. No one can live to old age, so there are no old people or sick people.
That's the reality here.
Halfway through, suddenly, there was a rustling sound next to me.
Nana was the first to hear it. She immediately became vigilant, looked at the place where the sound came from, and at the same time pulled out the dagger.
Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and red envelopes every day. You can get it by paying attention. This is the last benefit at the end of the year. Please seize the opportunity. Official account [Book Friends Base Camp]
In the wilderness, in this kind of slum, Nana, who grew up in this kind of place, is very aware of the dangers! The people here are not kind!
But what she didn't expect was that what she heard was babbling cheers.
"Sister! Sister is back!"
"It's sister!"
There were two dirty little girls, one about six or seven years old and the other about ten years old, running happily from the back of the house. They were the source of the sound just now.
Bai immediately became nervous, and this little girl who looked similar to Nana stood up immediately: "Sir, I'll drive them away right now, it won't waste much time!"
Lu En waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's okay, I still have a lot of time today."
Bai saluted Lu En gratefully, and then quickly ran towards the two children. It was obvious that she was very anxious.
The two children ran towards Bai with all their strength. Lu En glanced at them, and suddenly, he frowned.
He saw that the two children had two pairs of ears, a pair of animal ears on their heads, and a pair of human ears below.
Like Bai, the two of them also have white hair, but compared to Bai's human-like standing posture, they are more like puppies. They can't help but jump out on all fours while running.
"It's a monster hybrid, sir." Nana couldn't help but touch her half-covered face.
She is also a monster hybrid.
"I saw it." Lu En turned around and looked at the slums around him again. He suddenly realized something.
The proportion of monster hybrids among humans seemed to be higher than he imagined, and it was high enough to become a settlement.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is not difficult to understand. Many monster girls are very beautiful from human eyes. The typical example is Kara, and Nana's appearance is not ugly. This girl named Bai, although her face is ordinary,
But he can also speak elegantly.
Moreover, domesticating monsters, whether female or male, is nothing in the laws of human countries. Many monsters are even kept in captivity. Although monster hybrids are not completely treated as livestock like their mothers, they are definitely part of society.
At the bottom, as Nana said, they are not even qualified to study, and they can only survive by becoming professionals.
Inadvertently, Lu En couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He began to understand why loose monsters and different monster races united to build the Demon King's City, and why they jointly elected a Demon King.
Even if there is a demon king, what will happen if there is no demon king?
Perhaps it was the memory of being a monster in his mind, or perhaps he had personally experienced the humiliation after being surrounded and suppressed by humans.
