Chapter 1765 Meeting

Odachi's consciousness entered the illusion with me?

I frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to myself: "Could it be that the consciousness of Odachi put pressure on Di Ruiji, so he showed a nervous expression?"

"Maybe it has something to do with me," Odachi said: "After all, I am Leopold's Blade, a weapon more powerful than any other artifact in this world!"

Hearing him brag, I immediately sneered and said scornfully: "Will you die if you don't brag?"

Odachi was choked by me, and he immediately retorted with a series of words, leaving me no chance to refute.

I frowned and ignored Odachi's chatter. I walked towards the end while recalling the scene just now.

At the end of the sewer, there is a closed iron fence. Due to years of disrepair, several iron bars are rusted into disarray. I pinched the iron bar with two fingers and broke off one without using any force.

He folded the rusted iron bar into several pieces, put it away from a distance, and then bent over and looked at the broken place. It was very good and natural, and there was no sign of any artificial damage.

After doing all this, I just slipped through the gap in the fence with peace of mind.

Passing through the end, you will arrive at the largest garbage dump in Airei City.

Nearly two-thirds of the entire town's garbage is accumulated here. From a distance, it looks like a high wall that blocks out the sky and the sun. Its height even exceeds the city wall of Airei City.

This pile of garbage has been stored here for half a year. The bottom layer has begun to drip water of various colors, and it also exudes a strange smell.

If you want to get over this garbage mountain, you have to wade through this strange-smelling water.

Looking at the smelly water two meters away, my eyes twitched and I flinched a little.

"How about taking a detour," Odachi suggested, "I don't want to get involved in this weird-smelling water."

Looking up into the distance, I shook my head and said, "It's too far to take a detour, and it's easy to be discovered."

I frowned and gritted my teeth. My heart skipped a beat and I said, "Walk over there!"

After saying that, he stepped into the smelly water.

Odachi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "You are really a warrior!"

"You can't say that of a warrior." I endured the strange smell and walked step by step towards the garbage mountain: "It's just that we do extraordinary things in extraordinary times."

After climbing over the tall garbage piles, my shoes and trouser legs were stained with a strange smell.

Odachi clicked his tongue and said: "I told you to take a detour, but you are unwilling. Now it's better. My whole body has become sour and smelly. Let's see how you go to meet those important people later."

I snorted lightly and said disapprovingly: "There will always be a way."

There is only a wall between the slums and the garbage mountain. Every day when the wind blows, a strange smell will blow into the houses and surround the poor people.

Some families who can't stand it will try their best to block the doors and windows to prevent the strange smell from invading. But this is not a good idea, because people also need to breathe oxygen. If the vents are forcibly closed, it is easy to suffocate the people in the room to death.

This is not shocking. Almost every summer, tragedies that suffocate people to death occur in the slums.

However, the top management of Ai Rui City turned a blind eye to this.

Not only that, many nobles also took pleasure in this, and even used the tragedy as a bet, guessing how many poor people would be suffocated to death this year.

This is not the most outrageous thing. In order to continue to have fun, the nobles also ordered that the poor are not allowed to clean up the garbage without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.

The poor knew that they could not compete with the nobles, so they could only endure the bad smell and continue to live a poor life with no meals.

This is the life of the poor in Airei City, filled with a lingering sour smell, exactly the same as the smell on my body at this time.

Because of this, for me, this smell is not only not a burden, but also a means of concealing my identity.

Coupled with my cheap coat and unkempt white hair, I looked just like a slum dweller.

It's just that the pair of beautifully crafted hand guards and the large sword on his back are eye-catching.

As for the hand guards, I can also say that they are fakes bought at a roadside stall to improve their quality. They look high-end, but they are actually made of tin foil.

As for the Odachi, it would be a bit troublesome.

After thinking about it, I finally came up with an excuse that could barely get past me - what I was carrying behind my back was not actually a knife, but a wooden stick that looked more like a knife.

Just when I thought of this, the weight on my back suddenly increased a lot. I frowned and asked, "Why increase the weight?"

"You look like a stick!" Odachi scolded.

"It's a temporary measure, please bear with it," I explained. "When this whole thing is over, I'll buy the best knife polish and apply it to you. Do you think it's okay?"

Only then did the Odachi regain its original weight.

According to the message given to me by Boss Ren, I found an abandoned residential area along the way.

Decades ago, there were residents living in this residential area, but a plague killed all the residents in this community.

I have said before that the plague is not a serious disease in this world. As long as it is diagnosed and treated by a qualified doctor and cared for by a professional purifying priest, it can be cured in a few days.

But the problem is that both doctors and priests require money, and this residential area is a corner of the slums. The residents here are also very poor and cannot afford treatment at all. Therefore, they can only rely on their own strong immunity. Make it through, or die.

Many people died, and this residential area became deserted.

Although the people of Zefeng Continent do not pay much attention to the legends of ghosts, a place where so many people have died is still regarded as an unlucky place. Naturally, no one wants to live here, and over time, it becomes a deserted place.

After walking past the collapsed wall, I quickly found the venue of the party - it was the only remaining private house with four intact walls. Boss Rennes crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame to look at me.

I waved to him, and he turned aside and ducked into the house.

The room was already full of people, a rough count of no less than twenty.

Boss Renne briefly introduced my identity to everyone present, and after a few pleasantries, I got straight to the point.

He took out the Orc King's Holy Oracle from his arms and handed it to Boss Renn. After passing through Boss Renn's hands, he showed it to everyone.

After a while of low shouting, everyone confirmed my intention and solemnly handed the Holy Oracle back to me.

After taking the oracle and putting it in my arms, I frowned and asked, "Are you the only descendants of the legendary heroes in Airui City left now?"

As soon as I said this, the eyes of everyone below me flashed, and they all looked at me with suspicion and dissatisfaction.

I suddenly felt that I had made a mistake, so I quickly changed my words and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised. I didn't expect the Carter family's suppression to be so brutal, suppressing the originally huge number of descendants of the legendary heroes to only thirty." Without the help of others, they don’t even think about how Carter Adams alone could have saved the entire city of Airi. Without the sacrifices of our ancestors, Airi City would have ceased to exist long ago.”
