Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"You just arrived and you are unfamiliar with the place. I can tell you that there are many bad guys in Yongye Port! But it doesn't matter! Fortunately, you met me, the kind-hearted Xito! I like to help some deserters from the earth the most!"

The two still didn't react, but Huangmao Xito was still full of enthusiasm and talked to a cold face and a greedy face.

"Very good. It's a good thing to be wary of strangers. This will allow you to live longer in this chaotic dungeon. Forget the rules of your Sivelas Field. Here, the laws on earth cannot protect you. Evernight Harbor is still a place with 'rules'. Other dungeons below are not as easy to make a living as here.

"I told you that I like to help you newcomers from the ground. Look at the look in this girl's eyes. I'm so familiar with it! Every person from the ground who has just come to Evernight Harbor has this look in their eyes. But with my help, some of them quickly adapted to the new life in the underground city far away from the modern city. Of course, some of them finally realized how ridiculous it was to run away from home and eventually returned to the ground."

As he spoke, Huangmao Xito even began to recall what he had just seen.

"You guys remind me of this guy I met recently, a guy who had nothing.

"If I remember correctly, I picked him up at the No. 3 track entrance of Evernight Harbor last Thursday. As of today, he has been living in Evernight Harbor for exactly one week.

"For those of you who live on the surface, there are always various reasons for coming underground, and the uncle is the same. He said that his wife cheated on him first. Originally, the uncle did not want to divorce for the sake of the children, and finally reconciled with his wife after much persuasion. But the next day, his wife was hit and killed by a son of a consortium. Let me tell you, for those upper-class people, not having something to get and being rejected is more painful than killing them.

"Then his child was diagnosed with an incurable disease, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. Before the uncle could raise enough money for treatment, the child died in front of his eyes.

"What do you mean by misfortunes never come singly, man!"

As he spoke, Huangmao Xito couldn't help but make a clicking sound, expressing his sigh for the uncle's tragic experience.

"Then the uncle's boss fired him without hesitation because of his poor performance at work. This not only made him unable to pay off the debt for his son's medical treatment, but also made him unable to pay the rent.

"So, he finally decided to escape from the city, leaving behind his debts, worries, all suffering and resentment, and kept running downwards, downwards, until he found a mine train heading deep into the center of the earth, and then escaped from his past.

"Then the story goes back to the beginning: I found him at the No. 3 track entrance of Evernight Harbor. He was hiding in a transport car at the time, but was found out by the people at Evernight Harbor. You have to know that the tolls for people and goods entering Evernight Harbor from the track are different."

This story immediately attracted Fors's attention, and something similar resonated in her chest at this moment. She was even fascinated by it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"and then?"

"Then?"

The yellow-haired Xito smiled.

"Then I hid him. Because I know that not all people on the ground are suitable for living in the underground city. Many of them are just escaping, escaping from the things in life that make them feel suffocated, but they can't let go. They always feel that they have struggled for so long, and they really can't bear to throw away everything on the ground.

"Some people always have unrealistic fantasies about us. They are extremely disappointed with the colorful Backlund on the ground, but always feel that the Backlund in the past is the paradise on earth, the real 'land of hope'. The glorious electrical age, the glorious steam age, they even think that the Backlund before the end of the world is the real utopia, and this utopia is buried under the endless earth of Backlund.

"This is hilarious, don't you think? What's past is past, what's dead is dead, and what's gone is gone. It's just an excuse for one's escape."

This made Fors feel that this Huangmao Xito didn't look like a young man in his twenties at all, but rather a weathered old man. She was completely immersed in Huangmao Xito's story. Huangmao Xito, who was flattered, became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he really regretted meeting Fors too late.

"So how is that uncle now?" Fors asked.

"Now? I'm still watching him. You know, I need to see his strength and confirm whether he has the ability to survive in this dungeon. Otherwise, I'll just send him back to the surface in two weeks.

"Besides, Evernight Harbor has been very unstable recently."

The yellow-haired Xito tried to get closer to Fors, lowered his voice, and even covered his mouth to pretend to be mysterious.

"Have you heard? The Coke Gang and the Cinder Gang are going to fight in Evernight Harbor soon! It's scheduled for this Friday, tomorrow! It's true!

"A gunfight, do you understand? People will die!"

"What!" Fors also lowered her voice and exclaimed softly, "Will the city lord here allow gang fights?"

"As long as their gang fights do not affect the interests of Yongye Port and they pay the tolls, the people of Yongye Port will not care!"

Huangmao Xito and Fors leaned against the table, whispering to each other.

"So I have to watch that uncle. Not only do I have to teach him the secret of surviving in Evernight Harbor, but I also have to see how strong he is. At least right now, if someone like him runs around in Evernight Harbor in the next two days, he will definitely die in a gang fight!"

"Really? Then what should we do?"

"Hush, kind-hearted Sito has a solution. Girl, we are destined to meet. I still have a little bit of what I gave to that uncle last time. I will give it to you as a life-saving talisman today. This is the secret of how I have survived so long in the dungeon!"

The yellow-haired Xito looked around stealthily, then quickly stuffed a tube into Fors's hand, pressed down hard on Fors's fingers, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"There will be a gang fight on Friday. I still cannot guarantee your safety if you only have my secret book. The 'strength' to survive in the dungeon is not just some practical secret books, but also abundant ammunition, skilled martial arts, abundant financial resources, and sufficient wisdom..."

Before Fors could react, the yellow-haired Xito stretched out his other hand and scratched in front of Fors's eyes, then raised three fingers to show Mosuo.

"So today happens to be Thursday. Weiwei, give me fifty gold coins to see your strength."
