Chapter 432 An Extraordinary Day
Chapter 432 An Extraordinary Day
The night was dark.
Mithril Raven Harbor did not fall into silence, but was still bustling with bright lights.
Thanks to the help of alchemical technology.
The nightlife of this world is also beginning to become more complicated.
After lunch, Li Zhongren did not leave, but continued to wander under the Wanderer Bridge. After all, there were no computers or mobile phones in this world, and spiritual entertainment life was almost zero. Only here could he find some entertainment.
However, his main form of entertainment was listening to stories told by bards.
The position of a bard is almost similar to that of a storyteller.
It tells stories from all over the world.
Of course, the content of the story is not authentic and has certainly been re-created for artistic purposes.
But Li Zhongren didn't care. He was just killing time anyway. No matter how fake it was, there should be real content in it. It was a channel for him to understand the world.
Right now, he is sitting in the Bard's Story House.
Drink free tea and listen to stories.
In front of him, there was a plate of fried beans.
Two cents.
It counts as ticket money.
On the stage, the bard was telling a story in a vivid voice. The content of the story was a major event that had recently occurred in the empire.
A crisis occurs in the capital of the empire.
An evil unregistered alchemist who seeks to destroy the capital of the empire for his own gain.
Then it was destroyed by the Empire's secret organization, the Secret Guard.
The two sides of the story fought a battle of wits and courage, but in the end, justice triumphed over evil.
Of course, these contents are just for listening.
As someone who actually lives in this world, he knows that the empires in this world have a similar level of cognition to the feudal world of Blue Star, and their attitude towards the lower classes is still weeds.
Modern society also exploits the lower classes, but it does so through more reasonable and gentler methods, and people's lives and property safety can basically be guaranteed.
This world is not like that.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
If you have good things but don't have a strong background, they will really kill you and take them away from you.
So, no one knows what the real reason for this incident is, but what is certain is that this story may not be true.
"It's so late."
Looking back suddenly, Li Zhongren stretched lazily.
Following the crowd, I left the storytelling house and walked towards my home.
His house is a few blocks away, not far from the port.
Normally, the rent for a house near such a prosperous area is not cheap, but as mentioned before, if he eats well, the whole family will not be hungry, so he is willing to pay a little more for it. Anyway, he has no place to spend money except for food, drink and rent.
As for seeing a doctor or something.
Just think.
There is no such thing as a hospital in this world.
When ordinary people get sick, there is only one word to describe it: fight.
If you can endure it, you will live; if you can’t, you will die.
It's great to meet some wandering pharmacists and buy some herbs from them. Whether they are good or bad, it's a gamble with your life.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Two uninvited guests appeared in Li Zhongren's home at some point.
They were the two mercenaries who were in the Oak Tavern during the day.
They followed Li Zhongren all the way to his home, used drugs to make him fall asleep completely, and then began to inspect the place.
"No suspicious alchemical products were found. He is just an ordinary person."
"but."
"But what?"
Another woman spoke.
"I found this."
"journal?"
"Take a look before you speak."
First, the woman who discovered that Li Zhongren knew first aid took the diary and opened it to read.
Then he fell into deep thought.
There are words on the diary.
But, she didn't recognize him.
It was not the imperial language, and she had never seen it before. And it was obvious that this language was not written randomly.
Not to mention that it looks very special and beautiful.
The regularity and writing style alone prove that this is a mature writing system.
"Haha, we really caught a big fish?"
"not necessarily."
The woman continued to flip through the diary, which was filled with content she could not understand, and was half a book thick.
"This person may not be related to Mr. Plague."
"But you can't deny that he is definitely not an ordinary stevedore, right?"
"That's true."
The woman also fell into deep thought.
The mission they received was to track down Mr. Plague.
Well, that’s not accurate. They don’t have that ability yet.
They were following clues about Mr. Plague.
After investigating what happened in the Imperial Capital, they found that many alchemical raw materials were transported to the Imperial Capital through Raven Harbor, so they thought that there must be Mr. Plague's people near the port, which was why they came to investigate.
"What should we do? Report it?"
"No hurry, let's observe and see."
"A diary."
"An unknown script."
“It doesn’t prove anything at the moment.”
The woman shook her head.
"Besides, Mr. Plague has already disappeared without a trace. Our investigation is useless no matter how fast or slow it is. Besides, we are not really working for the Secret Guard Party, so there is no need to be so serious."
"All right."
"However, I plan to rent a house next to him and observe and interact with him for a while. Otherwise, if there is a problem and we do not report it, we sisters will also become the target of the Secret Guard Party."
"Okay, sister."
"Have I been drawn into some big vortex?"
The room finally fell silent.
Li Zhongren opened his eyes.
That magical drug actually allowed him to connect to the sharing space.
The good news is.
He has a cheat.
The bad news is.
This hook is not fully opened.
Maybe it's because the distance is too far, or maybe it's some other reason.
The plug-ins he has developed now are very powerful, but they also have many limitations.
Entry system.
You can summarize, define, and modify entries for yourself.
The entry will bring you corresponding abilities.
Like now, I have two entries.
First, ordinary people.
This entry will make you disappear into the crowd.
Why did those two women let him go so easily just now?
That is an unknown language.
It is because of this ordinary person's entry that it works.
Of course, because the entry of this ordinary person is only white, the strength of the people who can be affected is also limited. If the other party is strong, he may not be affected.
The second one is the stevedores.
This entry adds a little strength and a little endurance to me, as well as a passive skill, loading and unloading proficiency.
In general, it is a good term for being a beast of burden.
But it's better than nothing.
After taking a deep breath, a glimmer of hope flashed in Li Zhongren's eyes.
In life, he chooses to be an ordinary person and lie down, just because he knows that in the real world, hard work has little effect. After all, he is not a brainwashed young man and knows very well what the rules of the real world are.
But now, he is dead. Although his current performance is not great, there is hope for the future.
“Perhaps, my ordinary life will become extraordinary from today on.”
