From the dragon race to penetrate the world

Chapter 782 The Frightened People in Black
Time is slow, it stays with everyone, and it is everyone's business to decide how to spend it.

Lu Lin was fired after all. The four days of absenteeism was not the point. The point was because of her absence. Under the circumstances of insufficient manpower, a deal went wrong, and the leader pushed the blame, which finally fell on Lu Lin.

So there is the current scene, this big girl who has recovered a lot of youth, is yelling in front of the stall, selling all kinds of fish in Lake Bliuss.

Yes, Lu Chen caught it.

Lu Lin was very curious, how did my younger brother catch so many fish? Could it be that after all these years of madness, he somehow managed to turn a person into a good fisherman?

She once wanted to go "fishing" with Lu Chen to Blius Lake, but Lu Chen refused. She just returned shortly after going out in the morning, bringing hundreds of catties of fish with her.

Among them are some more expensive fishes, a basket of fishes may be sold for a sky-high price of three pounds!

In the aquatic products market in the upper city, the stalls need rent and management fees, which cost two shillings a day. Lu Lin was worried about how to pay the tax administrator, but Lu Chen said to him.

As a result, the younger brother ran to the corner and had a friendly negotiation with the management staff, but the middle-aged stingy yellow-haired man let go, saying that the management fee would be waived on the first day, and he would just pay it later.

Lu Lin was shocked by her younger brother's negotiating ability. Originally, she was worried that Lu Chen would be out of touch with the society and could not communicate with other people normally.

In fact, Lu Lin misunderstood, Lu Chen did not communicate with the other party normally...

After going through a few episodes, Lu Lin successfully transformed from a clerical worker to a glorious aquatic proprietress, because Lu Chen caught fish without any cost, and could earn nearly three pounds a day.

This made Lu Lin feel like she was in a dream, earning more money in one day than in a month before, and praying to the Goddess of Morning Embrace every day, thanking the Goddess for bringing her brother back.

But Lu Chen was a little dissatisfied, because he found out that after he caught fish and asked his sister to sell it, the money he got could not be used for certification.

He thought that although he was plundering the biological products of the waters, it was also a kind of hard work to get rich, so why not?

After he communicated with Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang was silent for a while and said: "Brother Lu, don't think about speculation, with your strength, it is enough to fish out the fish in a river, and even take out all the marine assets. If it can be used as a currency for exchange, the implicit rule is broken."

Lu Chen thought about it carefully, thinking about it, this is no different from robbing a bank, the only difference is that it does not break the law.

But anyway, because of his daily fishing, the living conditions of the siblings have improved.

Leaving the cramped house, never hearing the nagging of Mr. Pukins, and moving into a house uptown.

The house is divided into two floors, with a bathroom on the upper and lower floors. Except for the living room on the first floor, there are three vacant rooms in total.

Originally, Lu Lin refused, saying that Lu Chen's luck could not always be so good, and she had always wondered if her younger brother's fishing methods were strange, thinking that this income would not last long.

So she wanted to save her money and live in the lower city first. Anyway, they have lived in it for so many years and are used to it.

But Lu Chen disagreed. He felt that it was too inconvenient to live there, and he didn't even have any private space. Every time he communicated with his teammates or sat there in a daze, Lu Lin would easily think that he had changed back.

Moreover, Lu Lin didn't seem to regard her younger brother as an adult male, she always looked at Lu Chen as if she were looking at a ten-year-old child, and she didn't have much scruples about her personal life, which was not good.

The new house was chosen by Lu Chen on the [-]st Avenue of Kinkland, not far from the Morning Embrace Church. The rent is four pounds per week, which is [-] times the price of their small house next to the upper city. , The spacious environment makes you feel comfortable.

But in terms of life, Lu Lin is still very frugal. In her words, it is best to keep some money just in case.

In fact, Lu Chen knew that Lu Lin was afraid that she would suddenly go crazy again and wanted to save money for medical treatment.

After living like this for a week and a half, Lu Chen became a little bored. He already knew enough about the human history of the Land Abandoned by God, but the main quest hadn't come yet.

This means that his financial resources and influence are still very weak, and some peculiarities of this identity have not yet been discovered by him.

When Lu Chen was living a leisurely fishing life, it was said that Chu Zihang had already become an official craftsman in the country of steam and machinery, and his weekly salary was equivalent to twenty pounds in the Sistine Empire.

At first, Lu Chen was surprised why it was so high, because according to Lu Lin, the official priest of the Morning Embrace Church was only paid 12 pounds and 7 shillings.

After Chu Zihang explained, Lu Chen realized that in the country of steam and machinery, the status of craftsmen is very high, basically comparable to the clergy of the Sistine Empire.

Chu Zihang over there was in a hurry. In just one week, he had already learned the special basic knowledge of steam and machinery in this world, and performed well, so he got a full-time job.

According to him, in the capital of the kingdom of steam and machinery, he met at least six explorers, all of whom were "working hard" to learn this knowledge.

Chu Zihang's alchemy and magic machinery have always been among the best in his grade at Kassel College. It is not too difficult to learn these, and he found that these seemingly simple new theories contain some kind of extraordinary truth.

This is why so many explorers are willing to work there. Knowledge and skills are a kind of wealth in themselves.

As for student Xia Mi, she chose the identity of a rich lady, and now she has run away from home and embarked on a journey to find her husband.

The main reason is that she saw a few explorers, all of whom were stronger than her. It was not right to be alone, and she felt very insecure.

The most unrestrained person I ever lived was Eriyi.

In the royal capital, she was the young daughter of a grand duke. She was favored by thousands of people and had a close relationship with the royal family. She had just reached the social age, but she had already been introduced to the royal table, which was enough to highlight her status.

Apart from reading books in the house every day, knowing the detailed history of the Sistine Empire and various truths that ordinary people cannot know, she is enjoying the life of a noble lady.

eat, drink, sleep...

Eliyi once secretly complained to Lu Chen that if it wasn't for the explorer's well-balanced physique, she would be afraid that she would gain weight.

Her favorite thing to do every day is to talk to Lu Chen about the taste of each dish during dinner on the team channel, which makes Lu Chen very "snack"

Just when Lu Chen couldn't bear such a dull and boring day and wanted to do something, a group of men in black trench coats with solemn military faces came to the lower city of Jinkelan City.

Mr. Pukins was sitting on the deck chair in front of the door, lazily basking in the sun, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, then ate melon seeds, enjoying his decadent life.

Suddenly, I felt that the sun was dimming. It wasn't the dark clouds, but something more gloomy and dark that blocked the sun.

A black-haired man in his early 1.8 meters tall was standing in front of him in a black windbreaker, blocking out the sun. He wore a cap on his head, his face was expressionless, and there was a hint of chill in his eyes, as if he had experienced Lived and died many times, and survived.

On the chest of his windbreaker, he wore a pitch-black badge of thorn flowers, and the light hit it, and it was swallowed up without a trace.

And the four men behind him, two of the yellow race and two of the white race, all had similar auras to him.

Pukins shivered. He didn't know who these people were, but he was instinctively afraid.

Could it be the lowly poor people living in their own houses, who has dirty hands and feet and offended the big shots in the city?

But these don't look like law enforcement officers, do they?The marshal's clothes were green, he'd seen them a few times.

"Several masters, you, what's the matter with you?"

Pukins was a little weak in his legs, but he stood up and asked with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he stepped aside and pointed at the door, "I am a good citizen, if someone commits a crime, please go in and arrest me, don't worry about me, the 'landlord'"

He emphasized the word "landlord" very emphatically, showing that he is only the person who rents out the house and has nothing to do with the tenants inside.

The winter wind in the afternoon was not so cold, blowing the black-haired man's short hair, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he had been poisoned by tobacco all year round, "Lu Chen, Lu Lin, do these two live here?"

After hearing this, Pukins was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Masters, they moved out last week, and the damn liquidated damages paid me three shillings less. If the masters want to arrest They, I agree with both hands and feet."

The leading man frowned after hearing this, "Moved away? Where did you move?"

He was a little dissatisfied. What did the intelligence department below do? Why was the relocation not mentioned in the document?

"Masters, I really don't know about this, but they should be looking for them at the rental agency in the city, and you may be able to find information there."

Pukins felt a little trembling in his heart, thinking that he was here to arrest people, right?But the relatives of the cheap siblings?
The leading man took off his jazz hat, saluted slightly, "Excuse me."

Pukins waved his hands again and again, saying he didn't dare, and after watching the dark team leave the street, he sat on the stool and panted heavily.

Although the other party showed no hostility, just looking at him made him breathless.

This feeling is like...like...that crazy boy Lu Chen felt when he saw him that night.

No, why do you feel that the mad boy's eyes are more terrifying?
Pukins was very angry when he heard that the two siblings wanted to move out, because their contract stipulated an annual rent, and if they breached the contract, depending on the situation, they should pay up to three months of rent liquidated damages.

But under the gaze of that crazy boy, he didn't know why he didn't have the courage to speak up, and only wanted three shillings as liquidated damages.

Because of this loss, he couldn't sleep well these few nights.

In fact, Lu Lin originally said that as long as they said that they had no money to teach the rent, and if they were allowed to delay a few weeks in arrears, Pukins would immediately kick them out, and the matter of liquidated damages would naturally disappear.

But Lu Chen said that it is good to return normally, because after a thorough scan of the original owner's memory, he can know that although Mr. Pukins is stingy and sometimes has bad intentions, his rent is really not much, and in the original owner Even when the Lord yelled at night many times, he didn't evict people. He is considered a more conscientious landlord.

A breach of contract is a breach of contract, and they are not short of that little money, just a small person.

He saw that Pukins didn't mean to threaten, but the other party was persuaded.

The sun was slanting westward, and the dense light sprinkled on the dome of Morning Embrace Church, casting long shadows on First Avenue.

After a day's labor, Lu Lin put her purse on the inside of her skirt with a happy face, covered it tightly, and walked back to the new house where she and her brother lived.

Lu Chen was bored, followed Lu Lin on the road, and saw a group of men in black standing in front of the house, and there was a slight wave in his eyes.

Finally came, he had guessed this identity a long time ago, it was definitely not easy.

Rather, as the only survivor in the catastrophe, "Lu Chen" was put aside by the Church of Morning Embrace, which seemed very abnormal.

It is unreasonable to release the civilians who witnessed the mysterious incident without making them sign a non-disclosure agreement.

"Several gentlemen, what do you want?"

Lu Lin greeted them timidly. The main reason was that she felt that these men were very unkind. There was an inexplicable feeling about them, as if there was an unknown force entangled in them.

The leading man took off his hat, put his hands on his chest, and bowed slightly, very politely: "Excuse me, Miss Lu Lin..."

His eyes shifted slightly, and he looked at the man standing behind Lu Lin, "...with Mr. Lu Chen?"

Lu Lin looked at these strangers with doubts in her eyes. For some reason, she felt that these people were very nervous at the moment. Those close-fitting clothes were slightly bulged, as if they were wild leopards that were about to prey.

These men in black had to be nervous. After the leading man looked at Lu Chen, the others followed suit. For just a moment, they felt as if they were facing the greatest weirdness, the ultimate fear.

In the eyes of extraordinary people like them, the man's aura is a thick red, with a smell of blood. That kind of evil spirit makes their muscles tremble unconsciously, so that the body's autonomous defense mechanism, Let them unconsciously be in a tense state of preparation.

What the hell does the Archbishop mean! ?Let's bring back such monsters! ?
Such an existence, shouldn't they send a team of dangerous night watchmen to kill them on the spot! ?

Lu Chen looked at these men, tried his best to show a kind smile, stepped forward, and wanted to say hello to each other.

But at the next moment, the five men retreated in unison, looking terrified. Even the leading man pulled out a silver-plated scimitar from his back, and he almost couldn't hold back and slashed at himself.

Lu Chen paused, frowned, and the men stepped back again, looking vigilant.

"Gentlemen, what do you mean, I'm not that scary, am I?"

It wasn't until Lu Chen spoke that the men's muscles relaxed slightly.

The leading man looked at Lu Chen with surprise in his eyes, "Can you talk!?"
