Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 190 Sent to kindergarten to retake basic courses

Standing in a square in front of the market, Eleanor's smile was almost distorted.

Although the people in Sunshine City are very smart, even if they don't know them or understand them, they won't bother them with idle things that they absolutely cannot afford to offend.

But a girl standing in an open space, holding a beautiful gemstone cane and wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothes, is still a bit too eye-catching.

Fortunately, in order to show off the elegance of a royal aristocrat of the royal capital, I was even fully armed, hoping to overwhelm the audience and leave a perfect impression...

Damn it, how could someone be late for the first time?

Eleanor felt like a monkey in costume in a circus. She wanted to leave, but she didn't dare to because of the promise.

I can only talk to myself in my heart as usual and cheer up.

Eleanor, you are the one who has inherited the royal family name and is going to do great things!

She bit her lip as she looked at a poor pharmacist walking past.

Forget it, put up with this for now!

Just think of it as showing my determination and ambition as a great noble to recruit talents from all walks of life!

It wasn't until the poor pharmacist walked past her for the third time, approaching with an open box in his hands, that she finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Hello, I'm not interested in buying your potion. Can you consider going somewhere else?"

Unexpectedly, the pharmacist raised his head with a look of surprise.

"No way, you really didn't recognize me?"

Is it boring? Who would take a leisurely look at the face of an ordinary person on the roadside?

Moreover, it is often not the face that determines a person's first impression, but the so-called aura revealed by temperament, clothing and other factors.

With this ugly and rough clothing and his listless and timid expression, if he hadn't revealed his true voice, Eleanor would not have thought it was Ji Ming after looking at him carefully for a long time.

He could only stare wide-eyed and ask hesitantly.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"?"

"We are not going to go today..."

Ji Ming quickly stopped talking and waved his hand.

"Go to a deserted place first. Everyone will think you are a street performer performing a comedy show."

"oh oh."

Eleanor had already wanted to run away, so naturally she followed closely.

They didn't stop until they reached a nearby secluded alley.

Ji Ming turned around and looked at Eleanor who was pulling the edge of her skirt to avoid touching the dust on the walls on both sides.

"Father Eleanor, can you repeat today's mission first?"

"you……"

Forget it!

Holding back her rising anger, Eleanor emphasized in a low voice.

"I'm going to investigate several suspicious locations in the outer city and look for clues about the violent creature incident!"

"Oh, it turns out I still remember it all."

Ji Ming nodded.

"Then let me take the liberty to ask, what kind of outfit are you wearing? It's silk and lace. It's quite eye-catching."

Unexpectedly, Eleanor was overjoyed when she heard this, puffed up her chest, and although she controlled her mouth, it still kept rising.

"Actually, I just wear it casually. It's just the simplest thing in the closet."

Damn it, I wasn’t complimenting you!

Ji Ming had no choice but to carefully examine the problem.

"No...I see your legs are very flexible. Why do you need a cane?"

Unlike Blois's long cane that looks very sturdy and is convenient for headshots across the table, Eleanor's one is like a magical girl's staff, with carvings in the inlay, almost hollowed out. .

She turned over and held it up lovingly. The bright purple gems shone a little in the shadows.

"This is a trend in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital. No matter men, women, old or young, they must carry a cane to show their status when they go out."

Ha, forget it, if the old lady sees this, I will have to break your legs...

Ji Ming complained in his mind, but Eleanor had already habitually entered the "erudite display time" and recited the cadence.

"Actually, canes are also very particular. If the head of the cane is inlaid with lapis lazuli, it means that the owner is a knight. If it is inlaid with shadow silver, it means that the owner is a baron. If..."

Damn it, who wants to know about this useless setting!

Ji Ming quickly interrupted.

"Then what about this smell on your body? Is it also a new trend in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital?"

"Yeah, how do you know."

Like a magic trick, Eleanor took out an aromatherapy diffuser from somewhere and added two more scents to herself.

"This is the lemon citrus fragrance that is very popular recently, but I specially modified the ratio to make it more hazy and dreamy."

Ji Ming felt that his blood pressure was about to rise. He was about to interrupt again when he suddenly thought of it.

You have to carry a walking stick wherever you go, an item that can emit a scent that you need to adjust from time to time, and a doctor with a certain amount of force who follows you around to investigate some mysterious events that cannot be handled by the official staff...

Paradoxical luck, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

I had no choice but to get to the point directly.

"Father Eleanor, are you the only noble of the Glow Kingdom in Sunshine City?"

"Probably. After all, except for brave newcomers like me, who would give up the comfortable life in the capital and come to the edge of chaos..."

"So you want everyone to know that you are personally investigating the violent creature incident and have made breakthrough progress?"

"what?"

Ji Ming stretched out his hands and gestured from Eleanor's beautiful jeweled headdress to the shiny leather shoes.

"What do you think, the noble and strange woman who slapped three families in anger on her own?"

"..."

As far as IQ is concerned, it's better not to go to the third grade of junior high school, but to send them to kindergarten to retake basic courses.

There is nothing we can do about something like this, the problem must always be solved.

Ji Ming had no choice but to let Eleanor go back to the church to change out of her too eye-catching clothes, while he went to help her purchase some disguise clothes.

"I'm sorry. I'm actually very professional. I just accidentally forgot. I've already prepared other things...ah, do you really want to wear this?"

"Put on!"

Although what Ji Ming bought was not dirty clothes, but very clean linen clothes.

But it may be because it is cheap and rough, or it may be because this ugly but easy-to-make style is only worn by poor people, so no matter how you look at it, it has a dirty and run-down feel.

Moreover, the size of the clothes was obviously several times too large, and the overly long sleeves and trouser legs looked a bit sloppy when put on Eleanor's already not strong body.

"What are these..."

Eleanor pouted, but she still had to be instructed by Ji Ming on how to put on makeup and dress up.

"Did you see that hood? Put it on for me and keep your hair inside."

"Outline more black lines on your face, don't say 'ah', what you want is this unhealthy state."

<divclass="contentadv"> "Remember to put some black on the coarse cloth gloves later, and then pat them evenly to highlight the realism."

She put away her long ocher-red hair that was too eye-catching, and added some freckles on her face that were unique to young people in the South.

Coupled with Eleanor's slightly angular cheeks and unique physical advantages, at first glance, she really looks like a teenager.

Ji Ming originally wanted to explain the problem with his demeanor in detail, but before he opened his mouth, Eleanor had already handed in a perfect answer.

"Yes, it's just this feeling of being timid and embarrassed to meet people. It's wonderful. It turns out you still have a talent for acting."

Eleanor: Etiquette teacher, I won't let you down!

"...Can I not be ashamed? What kind of outfit is this? It scratches the back of my neck and makes it itchy."

Seeing that he was unhappy, Ji Ming had no choice but to comfort him.

"Bear with it. What's the point of it? Haven't you seen it? All the local people wear this."

"How can this be..."

Eleanor recalled it carefully and found that it seemed to be true.

The common people in Sunshine City and the Royal Capital are not the same concept. In other words, what I see in the Royal Capital are only "commoners" compared to the nobles.

I could only sit in front of the mirror with my hands tied and be silent for a moment.

"Feel sorry."

It's a pity that the red bean puree Smith Marseille is useless. If you really want to solve the problem, you have to do something.

"I'll repeat my current personality again. I'm not the chosen one, and you're not a priest. I'm a pharmacist who likes to cheat, and you're his little apprentice who hasn't learned anything yet."

Facts have proved that such an identity is really useful. The guards at the city gate have very good eyesight, and they are all good at seeing people and making food for them. They know the ultimate truth that big people are not easy to mess with, but small people are useless.

So after seeing the two of them, he just laughed and said, "Hey counterfeit medicine dealer, your apprentice looks really thin, like a dog wearing rags" and let them go.

Stepping through this door is like entering another world. The hustle and bustle around you disappears instantly, replaced by hurried pedestrians and roads.

This was probably the first time she walked around the outer city in person. Eleanor had been quietly observing the surroundings, looking at the dilapidated buildings and messy layout around her, but hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I am here to assist you in your investigation as a guide and advisor."

"I noticed that one of the houses was hanging clothes to dry. Are people living here?"

"Of course, because it is close to the inner city, this used to be one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the outer city."

Ji Ming recalled the place names here and then said.

"But a violent biological incident broke out here a week ago. Although there were not many casualties, the strange big bugs still scared away many customers and merchants. As for business, it just declined."

Looking at Eleanor who was still looking around, he sighed.

"Don't look at it. It's dilapidated, depressed, dirty and chaotic. This is the characteristic of the outer city. It's the same everywhere. It's normal."

Unexpectedly, the other party said immediately.

"No, this is not normal!"

"..."

Ji Ming smiled, then immediately stopped.

"Yes, it's not normal."

The two soon arrived at the first location, stepped into the alley, and the quiet surroundings became lively again.

There were children in various clothes playing around the corner, their noses were red from the cold, and they ran away after seeing them.

Seeing this, Ji Ming took out a small gong from the colorful medicine bottles and started beating it with a small wooden hammer.

"Selling medicine, the good medicine from the King of Glow is made of human flesh and bones!"

Each knock means activating the [Farewell Technique]. Although the damage will not be very high due to the rhythm problem, it is so comfortable to explore the map. Whoever reacts the most will have the demonic energy enter the body, and the kill will be over.

As for Eleanor asking...

"This is how homeless pharmacists sell medicines. If you don't make some noise, who can see you? Since you are acting, you have to act the whole way."

One of Eleanor's strengths is that she is eager to learn. She nodded quickly when she heard this.

City residents are not fools and will naturally move to relatively stable neighborhoods.

Even if we can’t afford a house, why can’t we pitch tents and build a slum?

So you live in one room and I live in another, making the already narrow alley even more pitiful.

Of course, their residence is definitely not the modern windproof and waterproof camping tent, nor is it a simple blue roof for temporary residence.

Just use a wooden stick to set up a piece of sewn rag, and then spread some rotten wadding inside to make a home.

If you can add a few strong iron rods or cover it with a few layers of thatch, you will be a rare lucky person.

Moreover, most of the refugees living among them were injured, either because they were caught by violent creatures, or because they were beaten by each other while fighting for survival supplies.

Looking around, it looked yellow, dilapidated and lifeless.

...The situation is worse than I imagined.

Ji Ming secretly shook his head.

When I left, the outer city was still Gotham, but when I came back, it was almost a slum.

No matter how you say it, Ji Ming and Eleanor are two young "men" traveling together. No one would take the risk to rob such a difficult bone.

Therefore, it was not until deep into the block that someone boldly stretched out his hand to block the way.

What he asked for was not food or wealth, but...

"Are you a doctor? Please give me a bottle of poison. It's too uncomfortable for me to live."

Ji Ming stopped and looked down, and found that what was holding his trouser leg was a skinny arm, and the other side was connected to the darkness in the tattered tent.

It's very pitiful, but I am a doctor and not a killer, so where can I find any poison?

I wanted to throw the opponent away harshly, but I found that there were several parallel gouging marks on the arm, as if it had been severely grabbed by some giant beast.

No need for Eleanor to touch his cuffs, Ji Ming has already smelled the clues...

Forget it, it's better not to smell it, this place is too smelly and disgusting.

He lowered his voice and adopted a reliable business voice. At the same time, he was wary of the faint smell of blood in the air.

"Friend, what's wrong with your arm?"

It was more like a groan of pain than a sigh. Something moved in the darkness, and something gradually emerged...

Eleanor, who had been hypnotizing herself all this time, mustered up the courage to hold on, trembled, and couldn't help but hide behind Ji Ming.

... Damn it, aren't you a noble noble and a very brave person?I originally wanted to put you in front!

There was no other way, Ji Ming had no choice but to straighten his back and be ready to summon the Deep Forest War Shield at any time.

fight? Kill?

No, when faced with this kind of thing, it’s better to escape three thousand miles away before talking about anything else!

because.

The cracked chin, the disappeared animal ears, one of the eyeballs that was dug out, the arms folded behind the back...

What slowly emerged from the black hole in the tent turned out to be a wild werewolf covered in filth and blood. It took a long time to identify him before he could barely tell that he was a "human".
