Under the Root

"The quintessence of the devil... really has such an effect? ​​To be honest, I don't feel any abnormality." Li Lin asked, he didn't expect Esdeth's answer, because this is the reason Esdeth The last hole card that he didn't kill.

But Estes answered.

"Is it important?" Estes asked himself. "It doesn't matter at all. Even if you are affected by the essence of the devil, you may not die. The reason why you didn't kill me is because you can't pass this threshold in your heart. Isn't it?"

"Indeed, it's me, Meng Lang." Li Lin nodded his head, and this time he really got back into the soil.

----

But I can't take the risk because of this little girl.

Li Lin smiled after patting the smooth forehead of Ai Ge again.

"Well, Li Lin. It's too late, remember to go to bed. Otherwise, it will affect your health." Ai Ge, who was stimulated and opened his eyes, arched in Li Lin's arms and muttered cutely.

"Understood, let's go home right away. But."

"But what?"

"But this time it was beautiful, Love Song."

"Whoo hoo hoo." So, in the half-dream and half-awake, love singing and laughing.

Chapter 36 Let's Have a Plate

Slums, caves where the poor gather.As the name implies, it refers to the worst housing conditions and the most unsanitary environment.A sanctuary for marginal activities, including crime, prostitution, and drug use, the slum is one of those areas of a city's elusive but essential necessity.

But this is just the inherent point of view of people from other worlds.It may be unbelievable, but in this thousand-year-old country that is about to collapse - the empire.There is indeed a place called a slum that doesn't look like a slum at all.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the governance of the empire itself.An empire that can only squeeze does not look like a government that can eliminate the cancer of the slums.

In fact, the reason why the "slums" did not become slums is due to one person.

"Leonai, I've sent money again. I really told you that I still have food at home, so I don't need so much money." Among the messy wooden houses, an elderly man complained. the sound of.

Yes, the reason why the slums here are different is that they belong to the Revolutionary Army, and it is only from Leonai who attacked at night.

"It's enough to eat, but you don't have summer clothes yet. It's summer but you're still wearing winter clothes, so be careful to cover up your illness." The poor dancer said in a tone that could not be refused. "If that's the case, wouldn't I have to spend more money? Take it and buy a set of clothes quickly."

"What about the dowry, you are not too young."

"Ahaha, what are you talking about? Why didn't I hear clearly."

Embarrassing dialect spit out from the dancer's mouth.Then came the sound of running in panic.

When the heroic dancer stopped again, she had already reached the exit of the alley.

"Phew, it's dangerous, it's dangerous, the elderly are troublesome, if this continues, the old lady will change her job to become a matchmaker." Leonai patted his exaggerated chest, with a look of fear on his face.

"Yo, Leonai, have you been forced into marriage by the old lady again?"

"Hurry up and find someone to marry, Leonai who can't get married, haha."

"Hey, you guys are asking for a beating, right? Put your head over here and let me give you a blessing."

"Who would be so stupid, Violent Woman!" Outside the alley, young men in ragged clothes joked about this slum flower in the early summer sunlight.For them, the lucky cat that brings Leonai is not only a lucky cat that brings money, but also a pistachio that brings happiness.

"Really, those who repay their kindness and revenge." Leone shook his head speechlessly, and Leone sighed helplessly.But the slightly upturned corners of her mouth proved that she was not depressed.

"Shut up, bachelors, if you continue to talk about this month's relief money, you will completely throw it into the river." But when it's time to show the majesty of the big sister, I still have to show it.

This is a trick that has been tried and tested. Although he knew that Leonai was joking, the relief money that Leonai gave them every month was the key to these poor people's food and clothing under the pressure of the empire's exorbitant taxes.

But to her surprise, this trick failed.

"Hey, you can't control us this time."

"That's right. Big sister, you broke the calculation this time." The bachelors in the slums booed.

"I don't know what's wrong with the empire. There is no poll tax this month. We can eat enough without your money this month. No one wants Leone."

"you!"

"No one wants it, no one wants it!"

"Die!" But it seems that the bachelors seem to have forgotten that Leone never became a big sister because of his kindness.

----

"Phew, relieve your breath." Rubbing his white fists, Leonai walked on the chaotic but energetic road in the slums.Leonai, who had just taught his younger brothers a lesson, felt that the depression he felt daunting outside the palace a few days ago had also been reduced a lot.

I am also very strong, Leonai thought with ease.

Sure enough, it was a wrong decision to listen to that mysterious guy. He should have gone straight to the palace to take the life of the minister.What Bude, what Li Lin, what Esthers, all of them can be knocked down with one punch under my own iron fist.

Leonai, who was inflated in self-confidence for a moment, flipped the remaining gold coins in his hand that had not been issued, and decided to go to the casino next door to get a plate first.

This is her way of winning the battle. If she was still in such a good mood when she came out, she would definitely be able to go straight to the palace and blow the heads of the ministers.

"Hmph, four big Sabah brothers, wait, today I want to show you what true invincible power is." Turning left at the corner in front aggressively, Leo Nai decided to "send" himself to the big Sabah four. The brothers "wanted" all their money back.

Then around the corner, the ecstatic dancer hits the "iron board".

It was a thin, fresh-breathing man.
