There were seven people in total, and the time of death was different. Probably because it was a fairy tale world, these corpses were more like dehydrated vegetables. There were no terrible signs of decay. Instead, they maintained a relatively complete appearance, but the faces were not very good-looking.
There were wooden signs hanging around their necks, with charges written on them. Four of the seven were guilty of theft, and the remaining three were guilty of robbery and murder.
Duan Cheng walked around behind the body, took a look, and said to the others: "Player."
"You are foreigners." A wrinkled old man walked over with a cane and said with a smile: "The registration place is over there. You should go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to stay in the hotel after dark."
The four of them, Xu Huo, are now standing not far from the city gate. Although the fairy tale-like architectural style is retained and there is childishness everywhere, the people's clothes are not much different from those outside the copy, and overall they are more cute. Feng, on the contrary, the difference in appearance is more obvious.
The people here, young and old, all look very peaceful. Their eyes of different colors all reveal the word "kindness", and the eyes they look at are very warm - as if they haven't seen the corpse hanging by the city gate.
"This city is really made of gems." Yan Jiayu covered his forehead and looked forward. Although the gems used to build streets and houses were of darker colors, under the sunlight, The whole city is still shining with light everywhere, which is a bit hurtful to the eyes over time.
Ignoring this little problem, Gem City really looks like a world in a fairy tale. The houses are mainly round, most of them only have one floor, and the overall height is not high. It looks round and cute, and the streets and houses are very neat. The walls are also decorated with flowers, plants or small animals using gemstones of different colors.
Those who have shops and those who don’t have a small cart or box on the street can do business. People walking on the street, whether they are adults or children, all have smiles on their faces and people say hello to each other. , or talking about today's weather, or talking about the newly made recipes, those simple and trivial details of life can become relished here - as if they don't know what troubles are at all.
Four guards wearing the same armor are responsible for the order of outsiders. Everyone entering the city must register their identity. After registration, Gem City will issue an identity document. With this document, it is no problem whether you are doing business or sightseeing, as long as you do not enter. Within the limits of the King's Castle, you can come and go freely elsewhere.
When Xu Huo and others were queuing up, they saw someone take the initiative to explain their purpose of coming to Gemstone City when registering. The guard staff would tell them which way is faster, where there are more places to buy and sell agricultural products, and where to buy tools. Yes, if you really can't see the way, the guards will ask residents for help, and the residents of Gem City are also happy to help.
Li Kun saw the reward notice posted outside the registration office, his eyes moved slightly, and he reported himself as a bounty hunter when registering.
The guards were very happy and told him that although the king had issued a reward, the prisoner had not been caught so far. He could join the arrest team of a non-governmental organization and the meeting point was at the Pudding Tavern two streets away.
"There are only two dungeon tasks. Either find the king's stolen gems, or have Moon City return the gems. No matter how you look at it, the first one is easier. Maybe this is a clue." Duan Cheng also reported to the bounty hunter, and the guard personnel Another piece of news was revealed, that is, in order to catch the person who stole the gem, the Gem City has been closed to the public recently, so the criminal must still be in the city.
"Are you also a bounty hunter?" It was Xu Huo's turn, and the guard asked in a friendly manner.
Xu Huo shook his head and said: "My name is Sunflower No. 1, and this is my sister Sunflower No. 2. We were both members of the Polaris Circus. After the circus disbanded, we lost our jobs and wanted to come to Gem City to make a living."
After speaking, he pulled out a piece of paper and performed a demonstration on the spot of what it meant to retrieve objects from the air.
The guards applauded enthusiastically and told them carefully that there was a performance venue in the southeast corner of Gem City, which was dedicated to entertaining circuses that occasionally came from far away.
"Although there is no permanent circus now, you will be very popular if you can perform magic tricks!"
"If you decide on a show time, don't forget to invite us to see it."
Like the guards, the residents of Gem City have a special enthusiasm for circus performances. When Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu walked out of the registration office, many people gathered around them and asked them what kind of performances they would perform, and even offered to send them to perform. They don't have to worry about food and accommodation. Everyone pools together, and the brothers and sisters have their food rations and daily necessities.
"Thank you everyone," Xu Huo gratefully took out a handful of candies from his pocket, "This is a specialty of our hometown. You can try it if you don't mind."
The adults looked at them with pity in their eyes, and their attitudes became more friendly. They gave the candy to their children without asking any questions.
There were already many residents of Gemstone City surrounding them, and Li Kun and Duan Cheng couldn't squeeze into the crowd. Just when they were wondering, they saw Xu Huo gesturing to them, indicating that they should separate for now.
This is a dungeon with unknown risks. Moreover, they are not the only ones who have registered. It would be detrimental to them to disperse rashly. Therefore, Li Kun did not want to agree, but before he could speak, Duan Cheng next to him stopped him, shook his head, and mouthed a reply to Xu. Obtained:
"Meet at the show."
Then Xu Huo and the two followed the residents of Gem City, while Li Kun, Duan Cheng and several other players rushed to the Pudding Tavern.
Here Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were warmly entertained by the residents on their way to the performance venue. Whether they were fruit sellers or snack sellers, they always had to give them one or two. Some elderly ladies even wanted to The vegetables they bought were shared with them, but Xu Huo refused because he had no place to "show off his cooking skills." After that, they received dinner invitations from no less than ten families, and finally these people decided to let Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu become their common guests - they are having a small welcome party at the show venue.
In the next two hours, people came and went around Xu Huo and the two. The enthusiastic residents not only cleaned the room for them, but also put clean sheets on them. They were worried that they had not eaten lunch and gave them some bread and juice.
The adults still had housework to do, so they went home after helping, leaving some curious children behind. After receiving candies from Xu Huo, they sat around Yan Jiayu and listened to her stories.
The fairy tales were all ready-made, and after satisfying the children's thirst for knowledge, the two sent them away.
"It seems that neither adults nor children think there is a problem with the fact that stealing is punishable by death." Yan Jiayu sighed slightly and said, "Should we go to the Pudding Tavern to have a look?"
"Li Kun and the others will bring the news," Xu Huo said while smiling and nodding to the residents passing by in the distance: "Besides, the first task may not be easier than the second task. Except for those who were hanged at the city gate, Gamers and ordinary people.”
One more update today, everyone go to bed early. ^_^
