Chapter 617 So That’s It

After returning home, I ate, rested, and read the Times as usual, without mentioning the secret message.

Among them, there are my own selfish motives: firstly, to prevent them from feeling worried and troubled about this matter; secondly, the secret letter only said that we were planning to launch a war, but did not mention which town to declare war on.

It may be Dashai City, which is closest to Airui City, or it may be Moonlight City, which is the farthest place from Airui City. In short, I will not tell anyone a word before this matter is confirmed.

After the break, I went to the cafe, which was still packed with customers. From time to time, there was an endless stream of customers coming here to reserve a seat.

Looking at the boss lady, many female shop assistants, and the fearless guild members busy working in the kitchen, to be honest, I was a little bit broken.

The current Dauntless Guild, in every sense of the word, is more like catering industry workers than adventurers.

I covered my face, ashamed.

I really couldn't bear to disturb their overwhelming enthusiasm, so I quietly slipped out of the cafe, ran to the street, and started wandering around.

While walking, I unexpectedly met Yang Gao.

Yang Jiu and his family were strolling on the street. From a distance, they looked much better, both in dress and appearance, than in Airui City.

It seems that their little life was very enjoyable~

Especially when I see Yang Ji and Liu Yu secretly holding hands, hehe~

I decided not to disturb their happy and sweet little life, so I turned around and walked towards a corner.

At this moment, Duan Muyu's voice came from behind: "Brother Yang Gu, look, it's Xiao Yi."

Then, Yang Ji's voice came over: "What a coincidence, Xiao Yi!"

I had to stand still, turned to Yang Gao, then showed a big smile, stretched out my hand, waved it twice, and said enthusiastically: "Oh! It turns out to be Yang Gao! Long time no see!"

Sure enough, the moment I showed up, Yang Jie and Liu Yu separated their hands.

Yang Jiu walked forward quickly, while Liu Yu slowly nudged to Duanmuyu's side.

After greetings, I walked side by side with Yang Gao. I rubbed his stomach, glanced at Liu Yu, and said with a smile: "How about it? When do you plan to get married?"

Yang Jiu smiled sheepishly: "It's early."

"Hey, it looks like the time has been set?" I smiled even more evilly and said, "Let me know, what time is it?"

"Scare, don't talk nonsense!" Although Yang Jiu usually seemed generous and generous, once he talked about this, he immediately became as shy as a big girl in a boudoir.

I burst out laughing.

Passing by a restaurant, Yang Jiu said: "Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you."

I patted my belly and said, "I've eaten, but I can still eat some more."

I entered the restaurant, chose an inconspicuous location, and chose a few ordinary and cheap dishes.

Yang Jiu said apologetically: "I am short of money, don't blame me."

I didn't care and said, "I'm not picky, I eat everything, and I like to eat everything."

Then, I asked him: "Why didn't you go to the dungeon to spawn monsters today?"

Yang Jie said: "We have been busy for several days and everyone is tired. Today, I will take some of my newly saved savings and go out to buy some clothes and daily necessities."

As he spoke, he complained a little: "The scenery of Moonlight City is beautiful, the air is good, everything is better than Airui City, but there is one thing, shopping here is too expensive."

"It's normal to be expensive," I said, "Don't forget, this is Moonlight City, where the elves live. Are there any cheap things from the elves?"

"That's right." Yang Ji nodded, looking relieved.

Soon, the food was served. While I was eating, I asked Yang Gao, "Are you still working hard to kill monsters until late every day?"

Yang Gao nodded and said, "Yes, there is nothing we can do about it in order to survive."

"Do you need my help with the mortgage on that tree house?" I asked.

"Thank you, no need," Yang Jiu said, "The mortgage is not high. We can pay it off slowly."

"Well, that's good,"

Then, I asked: "Do you still have contact with your friends in Airei City?"

"No more." Yang Jiu shook his head and said, "The orphanage we are in has been destroyed. People in the slums spend most of their time struggling for life and have no time to make friends."

"That's it"

"What's the matter with you?" Yang Gao asked me.

"It's okay" I replied smoothly.

Actually, I wanted to ask him about the latest developments in Airui City.

Rich people are greedy for life, and ordinary people are not willing to die. Only people in slums are not taken seriously or respected. Even their self-esteem may be deprived by the rich. This is a very sad thing. .

Because there is no attention, no respect, and no dignity, many people in slums are more stubborn, stronger, and braver than people in other places.

Bravery can sometimes be called fearlessness. The reason why we are fearless is because we have nothing.

They are fearless, not even afraid of death, so many times they dare to joke about things that ordinary people dare not say.

To outsiders, these things are just some dark side leaked from the nobles, but to me, they are intelligence.

Therefore, if you want to understand the real situation in Airey City, you must start from the slums.

However, I made a mistake.

However, this is fine.

Even if they do have friends in the ghetto, how can they contact them?

Call crystal?

Most of the staff at the Adventurer Base in Airui City are human beings with connections. They would never give the call crystal to someone from the slums, let alone ask them to go to the slums to help find someone.

If that doesn't work, I have no choice but to go to Airey City in person and see if I can get some words out of the people in the slums.

So, during this meal, I have been thinking about whether to go to Airei City.

After eating, we left the restaurant and continued walking.

Yang Guo asked me: "Why haven't I seen you spawning monsters in the dungeon recently? Is it because the time of our departure and return is wrong, or is it because we are taking different routes?"

"None of them," I said, "I've been lazy lately and haven't gone to the dungeon."

"That's not good," Yang Jiu said, "your strength will be stagnant."

"I know this, but there's nothing I can do about it," I spread my hands and said.

"Are you having any troubles?" Yang Guo asked, "Why don't you tell me and see how I can help?"

"There is indeed trouble, but let's just worry about it. It's not big or small," I said, "It's because our guild's power is too small."

"You think your power is small?" Yang Jiu thought for a while and said, "We can recruit more people!"

"It's not impossible to recruit people, but the elves also have their own adventurers' guild, and they don't like to act together with us."

"What should we do?" Yang Jiu frowned slightly, thinking.

At this time, Liu Yu suddenly reached out and gave Yang Gua a handful.

"What are you doing?" Yang Jiu asked confused.

Liu Yu pulled Yang Guo over and whispered in his ear.

After that, he saw Yang Jiu's expression of sudden realization and blurted out: "So that's it!"
