I'm really a crispy French

"Next time you come, you can bring this parchment with you, of course, or not, but if you record it on the same parchment every time, it will be convenient for you to check your points status."

"Thank you, I will try my best to remember to carry it." Leon took out two silver coins from his pocket, put them at the counter window, and pushed them in.This was originally the registration fee Leon saved for himself, but now it is a tip, "That is to say, I can take the task now? Can I pick it up here?"

"Of course." Bella took the two silver coins happily, with a warmer and more genuine smile on her face, "This is my negligence, I should have asked you if you want to accept the task just now, please ask again Put the badge into the groove. Please remind me when it is time to turn the page."

Bella took out the box that had just been put away. This time, after some operations, she transmitted the content on the light screen to the alchemy crystal on the closed counter. It was a long list of tasks.

There are really a lot of tasks, but after reading three pages in a row, they are all short-term bodyguards, long-term guards, tutors, college lecturers, and the like.Indeed, this is the difference between cities, and this is not an online game. The bigger the city, the more monsters are more terrifying, or the bigger the city is, the closer it is to a dangerous ruin.

→_→It's not a tourist city... Diller City is mainly focused on industry and commerce, and safety and stability are what the city needs most.In a normal society, of course only the deep mountains and old forests of Shanpo Village have many monsters.

But there are no monsters in big cities, but there are more and more advanced awakened people gathered. They can't fight monsters, so of course they can only do these jobs.

The problem is, Leon can't do any of these jobs.Who would want a seven-year-old to protect themselves, or teach their children?Leon himself is also at the stage where he needs to study.

"Can you get rid of jobs like guards, bodyguards and teachers?" Leon said.

"Sorry, Lord Leon, I ignored it." Bella nodded quickly, but after the operation, she was a little embarrassed, "Master Leon, if you are here to do some trials, it is actually best to follow me Teacher, or guardian. Even if you are already a third-order spellcaster, you are still young, and it is still too dangerous to perform some tasks alone."

So this is why Leon is ignorant of adventurers, and Bella is not surprised at all. She should have received this kind of young awakened who was asked to come out to be an adventurer.But it was really the first time she met Leon who was so small.

"Thanks, Bella, I'll keep an eye out."

After removing the tiring tasks of household employment, the remaining tasks are indeed more dangerous and troublesome. Most of them are for buying dangerous items-the grudge of the evil spirit, the skull of the undead skeleton, the venom of the chicken-headed lizard, and the red-tailed The royal jelly of the magic bee and so on are not normal items at first sight.

Leon is not afraid of the danger of these things, and he really wants to face the following ghosts and undead, which he has not seen yet.What depressed him back then was that these purchasing tasks did not indicate the source of the items at all.

Where to hunt is entirely up to the adventurer who receives the order. Leon doesn't even know much about common sense, let alone this kind of professional knowledge.

Flipping through the pages, Leon came across a task "Long-term acquisition task by the city government of Dillier: 1. The tail of the giant ratman in the sewer, 15 silver coins for each complete tail of the common giant ratman, and the tail of the special giant ratman is being identified. Then determine the price. 2. The eyes/teeth of poisonous murlocs in the sewers have different values ​​depending on the type of murlocs, but each tooth will not be less than 5 silver coins, and each eyeball will not be less than 15 silver coins. 3. Sewers The cores of poisonous plants have different values ​​depending on the type, but each core will not be less than 5 gold coins. 4, sewer goblins..."

"The sewer refers to the sewer of Diller City? Isn't it the ruins near Diller City called the sewer?"

"Yes." Bella nodded, but quickly said nervously, "Master Leon, the sewer is a dirty and low place, but it is as dangerous as it is dirty. You don't even need to meet monsters, some Poison gas can kill people. And there is no light there, but if you hold torches or lighting crystals, it will attract a lot of monsters. Also, the sewers in Diller City have a history of hundreds of years. The government doesn’t even have an accurate road map of the sewers, and it’s easy to get lost after entering.”

"Thank you, Bella." The female receptionist said a lot. These words have exceeded the scope of her duties and the value of the two silver coins. She is really worried about Leon, "But I still have to choose This task, how can I accept it?"

Bella let out a long sigh: "I hope you are safe. The hunt for the sewers is a long-term mission. You don't need to accept it. As long as you come back with the mission items marked here, you can get rewards."

Leon thanked Bella again and again, and he also carefully read the other missions, but regarding the hunting, only this mission marked the exact location.Although there are many monsters on this list that he has never heard of, giant ratmen, goblins and the like are "acquaintances" after all.

Wearing two badges on his chest, Leon walked out of the mercenary union.He thought about it, and finally chose to go to the stone brick area in the South District.The locations of the two rented houses he has booked are both in the South District, but one is the Necklace District, which is the district where Dazui Kaimen lives, which belongs to the high-end residential district in the medium-sized residential district.One is the stone brick area chosen by Leon. Because the stone brick area is very close to the north area, it is the lower area of ​​the medium residential area.

However, if Leon wants to make a living by hunting in the sewers for a long time in the future, it will be more convenient for him to be close to the North District, whether it is to get along with his neighbors or to come and go by himself.After two years, I have accumulated some wealth in my hands, and then I will consider the issue of choosing a school to attend.As for now... maybe find a tutor and teach language and history at home.

After making up his mind, Leon "stunned" a coachman again.When the carriage was running, Leon thought: By the way, I have to get a carriage by myself, or find a long-term hired, honest carriage driver, otherwise I will faint every time, and it will be very annoying one thing.

Stone Brick District, Rosechin Avenue.

Half of the buildings on this avenue are identical double-storey townhouses, and the house Leon is looking for is No. 47.

After he rang the doorbell on tiptoe, the maid who came out saw no one at first sight when she opened the door.After all, there are three floors of high stairs at the door. Leon's current height standing there is indeed too easy to be ignored.

"Hi, I'm here to rent a room." Leon said, otherwise he suspected that the maid with bad eyes would close the door directly.

"Oh! You..." Leon startled the maid twice—there was actually someone at the door, not someone playing a prank.The person who said he wanted to rent a house turned out to be a child.However, Leon's clothes and his polite speech prevented the maid from driving him away with a broom immediately, "Lovely little gentleman, if you are just here to play a prank, then you have already succeeded, why don't you leave? "

"Because I didn't come to play a prank. Since you are Mrs. Coleman's maid, you should also recognize this badge?" Leon tugged at the front of his clothes and showed her the two badges, "I have legitimate Although I am very young, I already live independently, and renting a house is also a serious matter for me.”

"This is really..." The maid was startled by what Leon said, but he was still not sure if Leon's behavior was a prank by the young master.If it wasn't a prank, at most it would only cause her director to lose a tenant, but if it was a prank, even if her master was gentle, she would still blame her.

Leon sighed: "I saw from the notice that Mrs. Coleman wants to rent out the first floor, that is to say, the tenant will live with you. Mrs. Coleman is not young anymore Right? And you're the only servant in the house. Don't you think a little child would be safer?"

Leon started looking for a place for himself a few months ago. At most, there were five places he was interested in, but many places had already been rented out, so he could only change his target.There is only No. 47 Rosechin Avenue, which is very cheap. Cleaning is provided for free, and three meals a day are provided for a little extra money. More importantly, although this is in the southern district, the drinking water is not tap water, but someone delivers it. Clean spring water from the Magic Fountain.

The water sender was said to be a friend of Mrs. Coleman’s deceased husband, but no one knew who it was—Of course Leon went to check, and found that the person was a fur and jewelry merchant in Diller City, and also a prominent figure in the city government. , he dared not approach again.

In short, the water source is reliable and the living conditions are excellent.Mrs. Coleman is not picky about the requirements of the tenants. Some people have lived in the past few months, but they all moved out quickly.It is really Mrs. Coleman's luck "too good" to meet a lot of strange things, such as a thief who steals silver tableware, a drunk tenant who comes back with different women every day, and a child who keeps screaming every day Shouting bear kids & bear tenants, and sloppy tenants who defecate everywhere...

Fortunately, Mrs. Coleman had a good relationship with the sheriff and the patrolling knights on this street, and those who wanted to make trouble managed to make trouble for themselves.Otherwise, Mrs. Coleman, a lonely widow and old woman, really can't say what the situation is now.

Leon's words really moved the maid.But she still didn't let Leon into the house, just said: "Please wait a moment."

Leon waited outside for about a quarter of an hour before the maid opened the door again: "Please come in, young gentleman."

"My name is Leon." Leon tried his best to show an innocent smile.

Leon was taken to the small living room on the second floor by the maid. Mrs. Coleman was already waiting there. She was a slightly fat old lady with white hair, and she looked very kind.As soon as Leon came in, she laughed: "It's really a young and cute little gentleman."

"Hello, Mrs. Coleman." Leon saluted and took his seat after being signaled by Mrs. Coleman.

"I already knew what you said to Wendy. I thought you were a little gentleman who ran away from home because of a conflict with the family, but I didn't expect that you were a born awakener. You are in the middle of training. ?"

"Yes." Leon thought of the thought of the female receptionist Bella just now, it's not bad to let people misunderstand like this.Besides... Now he has the God of Nature as his backer. Although he doesn't know whether this backer is reliable or not, it is not nonsense to say that he is practicing.

"This is the first time I've seen such a young practitioner like you." Mrs. Coleman covered her lips and smiled. "So, you need to use your own labor in exchange for all the needs for survival?"

"Yes." Leon nodded again.

"Although the rent of my house is very cheap, I still need one gold coin and three silver coins every month. If you want to eat, it is one gold coin and fifteen silver coins. Moreover, you have to pay half a year's rent at a time. Do you have this money? "

"Yes." When Leon was in the Harpoon Gang, apart from paying for Pink Sweetheart's food and drink every month, and secretly ordering two sets of children's clothes, he didn't spend any money at all. Now he still has this He has a lot of money, although... paying the rent is equivalent to spending [-]% of his property.

"What about half a year later? Do you have any plans for yourself, Mr. Leon?" Mrs. Coleman took a sip of red wine, "Maybe you will think that I, an old widow, is meddling, but I have seen many tenants , I have found that most tenants, if their life is chaotic and difficult, it must affect me in various ways. I am at this age, looking for a tenant, just to add some to this empty house. A fresh breath, I don't want the freshness to become rotten."

"You can rest assured about this, Mrs. Coleman. I have accepted a suitable task in the Mercenary Union, and I will start earning money tomorrow. Then my plan is to hire a tutor to study at home. After a while , When I am older and have more savings, I will find a magic school for further study."

"Those people sent you out to practice, and didn't even care about your studies?" Mrs. Coleman blurted out the question.

"This is also part of the experience." Leon shrugged, looking helpless.

"..." Mrs. Coleman was silent for a while, probably imagining what happened to Leon, "Welcome, Mr. Xiao, after signing it, you will be the tenant here."

After reading the contract, Leon said, "I want to eat at your house, so the rent should be one gold coin and fifteen silver coins."

"You are just a child, how much food can you eat?" Mrs. Coleman waved her hand.

"Thank you, Mrs. Coleman." Leon did not refuse the old lady's kindness out of pity.When signing, he couldn't help but think of Lucy, the waitress of the Banpo Village Mercenary Union. What he said to that little girl at that time was too much, right?If he had the chance, he should apologize.

Leon had a conversation with Mrs. Coleman, and the old lady carefully introduced several areas of Diller City to him.Warn him which areas to stay away from, emphatically telling him about the dangers of the water area.

"...This area was just established three years ago, but before that, the sewer area had existed for more than ten years. It was the lowest area in Diller City, and it was not suitable for living, because every year, Diller The water of the Lier River will flood it in summer, so the first three outfalls of the sewer were also set up there. However, 20 years ago, in order to allow larger boats to enter the port, the city government widened the Dilier The channel of the river, the lower water area is no longer submerged, and there are more and more people there."

This is the first time Leon has heard of this matter, and it seems that he chose this Mrs. Coleman as the landlord, which is indeed a correct choice.In addition to comfortable accommodation, you can also hear a lot about the history of Diller City from this elderly lady.Because these are all her personal experiences, the authenticity is stronger in comparison.

"I heard that the accommodation environment there is the worst in the North District. Last winter, many people froze to death." Leon said, his avatar watched several fires set up by the city government last year. The place where the fire was burned, Half of them are in the area where he entered the city, and the other half are in the water area.

"The word 'accommodation' can't be used to describe it at all, it is only used by human beings. Those who wander in that kind of place are no longer human beings, but animals. Don't go there, Leon. Even if you are an awakened person , don’t go there, a child like you, once you walk into that place, they will immediately swallow you alive!”

Leon nodded, because he knew that these words were true.His avatar has seen with his own eyes that some people use their own kind as food.

But unfortunately, Leon was going to deceive the old lady, he was going to fight giant rats to make money.The sewers in Diller City are getting narrower and narrower. Only the drainage outlets built in the sewer area in the early years are tall and large. He himself is small, but he has definitely expected a lot of hunting gains.

After dinner, Leon thanked Mrs. Coleman again. At the same time, Mrs. Coleman introduced him to a reliable cab driver, which Mrs. Coleman used herself.The coachman would come every morning, and if Mrs. Coleman wanted to go out the next day, the maid Wendy would tell him the exact time.

"...Martin has served me for more than ten years and is a reliable person. If you want to go out when I don't need it, you can ask him to come. It's very safe."

Leon thanked the old lady repeatedly, then said good night, and followed the maid Wendy downstairs.He has only had time to take a look at his future living environment until now, although in fact he already knew it~

In fact, the kitchen and Wendy's house are also on the first floor, which is one of the reasons why the rent is cheap.In addition to this, there is a small living room on the first floor, a guest room with only a single room, and a larger suite that serves as Leon's residence.

There is not much furniture in the large suite, empty bookcase, desk, a suede wooden chair on each side of the desk, a coffee table, and a long sofa and two single sofas matching the coffee table.

"You can furnish this place as much as you like, but please don't hurt the wallpaper. There are some unused furniture in the attic, which you can use after asking Madam."

"Thank you, I will. If I want to add anything to the room, I will definitely ask my wife and get permission."

Wendy nodded, and opened the inner room that was Leon's bedroom. There was a wardrobe, a dressing table, a large bed that looked very comfortable, and two bedside tables.

"Tomorrow I will put flowers in a vase in your room. Would you like to put them on the bedside, or somewhere else?"

"Let's put it in the outside room." Leon said, not too cold about the scent of flowers in his room.

"Okay. In addition, if you want, you can also hire your own servants. The maid can live with me, and the male servant also has a place to live." Wendy said this, and laughed because of the surprise on Leon's face, "This is Things that all tenants should know, and even though you are young, I think you should too."

Recruiting servants by yourself is a matter that requires a lot of autonomy. Children like Leon will always be classified as obeying arrangements rather than making arrangements.

Leon understood: "I see, if I meet the right person, I will."

"So, it's getting late, do you need a bath?"

"is it okay?"

"Of course." After Wendy answered, she covered her mouth in panic, "Oh! I actually forgot to show you the restroom and bathroom! Please forgive me, this is really a serious mistake!"

The bathroom was just across from Leon's room, with round pebbles on the floor and an oblong wooden barrel inside.The bathroom is next to the kitchen... Of course, there is a thick wall between the two sides. The toilet is very clean and has no peculiar smell.Although this location makes people feel weird, Leon has seen all kinds of open-air "discharge", and this kind of toilet is already a manifestation of civilization.

After taking a bath, Leon lay on the bed with a relaxed face.

He closed his eyes, but his clones are still busy now.They have been checking the water area these days, trying to find a fairly safe path for Leon.

Being born as an intelligent creature, we always desire to live a good life for ourselves and our family.

The sewer area of ​​Diller City is a place that is completely opposite to everyone's positive desires and is full of negatives.

But the water area is the most populous area in the city.Even most people in Diller City believe that the population of the lower water area is greater than the sum of the population of the slums on the outskirts of several other cities.

——The shape of Diller City is like a rose petal, and the Diller River flows through about a quarter of the top of the petal.The area on both sides of the river bank is the iron tree area of ​​the industrial area, because there used to be iron trees growing on both sides of the river bank, but this kind of tree has long been extinct from Diller City.The wooden shoe area and the iron tree area in the poor residential area form a reverse 7, and the depression of this reverse 7 is the water area.The other side of the water area is adjacent to the stone brick area in the south area.
