1690 Real 2

This settlement belonging to the Black Eyes Clan is only the size of a small town inhabited by ordinary humans.

But the number of Black Eyes gathered here actually exceeded 10,000, making it the largest settlement in the area called ‘Black Eyes Plain’.

However, the original ruler has become a corpse hung on a stick, and his family and confidants will also be made into jerky to become food reserves for the settlement.

The guy who killed the original ruler through a carefully planned action three days ago was called ‘Scarface’. He was physically strong and was originally the captain of the guard team of the ruler here, so the action initiated by him did not cause more casualties.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the guards who had discovered the maid Ava’s team did not take any action, but immediately blew the horn to prepare to return.

Of course, it is also possible that no one would dare to offend the team composed of four seventh-level people here, so Scarface immediately put on a submissive attitude and welcomed everyone into the settlement.

Walking north along the drying yard, there were eyes peeping from the low buildings along the way, and when approaching the central area of ​​the settlement, we could finally see the vertical pupils hiding in the huts.

There were young and adult people, and there were more beautiful and charming male and female vertical pupils, but there was no old person.

These female vertical pupils, who were not covered by clothes, did not care about the presumptuous eyes cast by the scar-faced guards. Many of them cast hot eyes on Noel and Raymond, and even did not fear the scolding of the scar-faced guards. They waved to Noel and Raymond with teasing expressions, which made Nina, who followed Raymond, very annoyed.

From the outside, the settlement looked very primitive, and the buildings in the central area were quite large, but after everyone arrived, they found that the largest building in the settlement was actually rebuilt from a crashed spaceship.

"Don't be surprised. Most of the settlements outside the area were built in this way. The manned spacecraft launched before the plane collapsed crashed. The resources left in the cabin can provide hundreds of years of consumption for settlements of this size, and the defense facilities in the spacecraft can also resist external attacks..."

The maid Ava, who was welcomed into the interior, casually introduced the origin of the settlement, while the old Pierre in her arms seemed to have fallen into a coma. He didn't make a sound or move for a long time.

Entering the area in the cabin that seemed to be the control hall, Raymond saw traces of repairs all around. The control panel originally located in the front had long been dismantled, leaving only the curved transparent cabin wall, and the traces of riveting on the metal floor were clearly visible.

Noel, who did not sit down after entering, asked after checking the environment. "Ava, is this the 'reality' you want me to see?"

"This is a good settlement, with a population of 10,000, and it has a certain degree of self-protection. If it weren't for Scarface's seizure of power, it should be a good settlement..."

Noel was a little puzzled when he heard this, but before he could ask again, the slim female vertical pupils who came in from outside placed plates of food and things in wooden barrels that looked like wine in front of everyone.

"My lords. There are still three months before the ice season, so the reserves here are relatively small, please bear with me..." There was still panic in his expression, but Scarface, who spoke, seemed to have understood that the danger was over, and his posture was still very low.

Ava, the maid who released a kind of force field with a wave of her hand, spoke after settling Old Pierre. "We are not planning to plunder this settlement. Just present the 'Source of the Pupil' you have collected!"

"Yes, yes, we have sent someone to move it. It will be delivered soon. Please enjoy the specialties here. Although it is not as good as the food in the area, it is still quite unique..."

Scarface began to introduce the food in front of everyone attentively, but soon Nina, who was sitting next to Raymond, was horrified and rushed out with her mouth covered.

Because many of these tempting foods placed in front of them were actually cooked with the vertical pupil itself. A bowl of steaming food that looked like gel was made with the freshest vertical pupil brain, and Scarface called it the most nourishing treasure!

Even Noel, who was standing aside, turned pale after listening to the introduction, clenched his fists and looked a little furious.

Maid Ava, who picked up the steaming bowl and tasted the food carefully, was full of joy. After drinking it, she smiled strangely and said to Noel. "Don't waste it. This is indeed the top-level nourishing product. It won't taste good if it gets cold..."

Raymond had eaten the red fruit used by the Whisperers to trick people, but the steaming food in front of him was obviously the real thing.

So he pushed the bowl in front of maid Ava and said. "I'm not interested in this kind of food. You should enjoy it yourself..."

"What a waste. Since you all don't appreciate it, don't blame me for keeping it to myself!" Ava, the maid who put down the empty bowl in her hand, took it without politeness, and also put the small bowl in front of Nina directly. He took it and then turned his provocative gaze to Noel who was hesitating.

Noel, who was despised, had a look of determination, picked up the small bowl, poured it into his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

However, Noel's face quickly turned pale, and he rushed out in a flash. Obviously, he still couldn't bear it.

But Old Pierre, who was in some kind of isolation force field, suddenly spoke when the maid Ava picked up Nina's bowl. "Ava, leave a bowl for me, my body needs this kind of supplement right now..."

The maid Ava seemed a little reluctant when she heard this. She sighed and then handed over the small bowl belonging to Nina and Raymond.

Old Pierre took off the heavy helmet he was wearing, his expression was deeply tired, and his hands that took the small bowl were trembling.

It was only after Old Pierre finished drinking that Scarface, who was kneeling in the distance, asked. "My lord, are you ready to go to the Blue Abyss?"

Old Pierre, who took out the silk scarf and wiped the corners of his mouth clean, was a little surprised. "Do you also know about the Blue Abyss?"

The scarred face showed a flattering smile and became a little excited. "Yes, sir. I have heard about the situation somewhere. Since you are coming from the area, you must also need to go there. There is a caveman here, and letting him lead the way can save you some costs. …”

When the maid Ava heard this, her expression tightened and she shouted sharply. "Saving time? Could it be that there have been new changes there in recent years?"

Scarface, who seemed to be frightened, immediately fell to the ground and hurriedly explained. "Yes, yes, the Blue Abyss is now occupied by cave dwellers. Any member of the area who goes there needs to pay a price to enter. If you are led there by a settlement guide, some fees can be reduced..."

Old Pierre, who had drank the food of those two nights, patted the maid Ava on the arm to signal her to be quiet, and then asked with a smile. "Haha... It seems that those cave dwellers have finally woken up. Do you know what price they have to pay to be able to go with them?"

"Fifth, one-fifth of the net worth, or you can join them..." Old Pierre asked very gently, but it made the scarred face become more frightened, and his voice became trembling.

Old Pierre, who had a hint of regret in his expression, thought for a moment before speaking. "One-fifth is reasonable. Just ask the guide to prepare. Remember to send all the pupil fluid here. We will continue on the road tomorrow..." (To be continued ~^~)
