Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3336 I have a friend~

Reporter Nasha couldn't help getting agitated. He took out a cigarette from the box, lit it, and began to puff out smoke greedily with an obsessed look. Tobacco is the companion of a man's soul and the home of his spirit.

"Sorry." Nasha realized it later and took two steps away from Ye Lin.

Tobacco and alcohol are two of the most controversial issues in daily life. People who do not smoke or drink cannot stand their unique and pungent smell, while addicts smoke a pack, a bottle, or even more a day.

Xilan, a well-known alcoholic, was often scolded by his apprentice Nuoyu, who told him earnestly that drinking was harmful to health, that drinking caused trouble, and that drinking cost money...

Xilan agreed on the surface, but secretly refused to repent. He even said that sword and wine are men's romance, sword is a man's backbone, and wine is a man's blood.

Tobacco is the poison that wastes life, and sex is the knife that scrapes your bones.

Linus, a smoker for decades, holds an opposing view, believing that cigarettes are the best spiritual comfort for men and are friends of loneliness, while alcohol and sex are what destroy a man's backbone.

Ye Lin loudly retorted, saying that desire is a constant in human ethics and nature, the foundation of life reproduction, and a symbol of the truth of yin and yang harmony. Cigarettes and alcohol are the culprits that destroy men.

Besides, we men have strong bones and are not afraid of the bone scraper.

In short, each of the three of them has an "addiction", and no one can convince anyone else.

But on another level, Xilan married his beloved apprentice Nuo Yu to Ganzhe, and they also had the fourth daughter Qingcheng. Linus also blessed his wedding with Celia as Celia's elder.

In return, Ye Lin often secretly gave them wine and cigarettes.

As men, we should help each other.

Reporter Nasha threw his cigarette butt into the already overflowing trash can and said sarcastically, "Several major tobacco producing areas are in the hands of the Liyun Chamber of Commerce. They have a mature production line."

"Adventurer, can I commission you to investigate the mirror in a private capacity? I will try my best to pay you as much as I can afford."

Nasha's identity as a reporter makes him very sensitive to news from all sides. Idan, one of the leaders of the Eye of Mist, is currently in Mist. One of his reporter colleagues had a brief contact with the other party and learned about the general process of the Dark Island incident during the interview.

Yidan told the journalist colleague that this was a friendly transaction and that the Eye of the Mist gave the enthusiastic adventurer corresponding rewards.

Yidan thought there was no need to hide this matter. After all, Bayana really received a sum of money... and it could also give people the impression that the Eye of Mist was trying to solve its own problems and redeem its wrong image, which would help strengthen the faith of believers.

Last night Tana also mentioned Wu Lan's Mist Eye branch. When Yidan arrived, he was furious. He looked like a giant hippopotamus in an attacking posture. He suppressed all the members of the branch with his own strength. He didn't believe that a fire happened to burn all the pirates to death.

Afterwards, Yidan sent his confidant to rush back to Qingyan, preparing to borrow the "Eye of Surato" from the adventurer. Anyone who is faced with the eye on the ring cannot tell lies, and this magical power is used to eradicate the heresy within the Eye of the Mist.

Ye Lin was not in Qingyan at the time, and it was Hazel who passed on the news that he wanted to borrow the ring. Later, the ring was temporarily lent to Yidan.

"We'll talk about the reward later. What is your motivation for investigating the truth behind the scenes?" Ye Lin had already walked into the slums, just like turning into the back street from the City Hall of Heartonmar.

Sewage, garbage, wooden houses, rotten food... the scenes are so different that one wonders whether it is the same prosperous city.

"I have a friend..." Nasha started to say half a sentence, and saw Ye Lin looking at him with a very strange look, so he interrupted what he was about to say and added: "It is indeed a friend of mine. He is my fellow countryman. I am from Chongquan Continent."

"He is a young, lively and energetic man who came to Wulan with the dream of making a name for himself. Unfortunately, apart from being energetic and in good health, he has no outstanding qualities... He has no professional knowledge in a certain area, no friends with connections, and no eloquence."

After spending all the money he had, he could only do some unskilled manual labor, such as a loader at Sky Dock, and then rent a place where the rent was cheaper.

"He told me sadly that this was not the dream he wanted. I know that 99% of the young people who come to Wulan have the same idea as him. They are all full of passion and have high aspirations."

Reporter Nasha took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, struck a match and lit it as usual. After taking a puff, he was suddenly stunned.

Damn it, it turns out that the addiction to smoking will control the body without you even realizing it.

But it’s already lit, so why not just… finish smoking it.

"I often helped him, treated him to meals, bought him daily necessities, and introduced him to jobs. Until one day, he asked me with a serious expression, 'Do you want... the power of magic?'"

"No, I just want Naizi." Ye Lin complained in his heart and motioned Nasha to continue. He had a vague sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen a similar situation somewhere.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see him and you'll know clearly. He doesn't have a job and should be sleeping at this time." Nasha tried hard to lift his unwiped leather boots, stepped over the dirty and smelly garbage on the ground, and took Ye Lin to turn around several simple wooden house streets.

Originally this was a square for people to rest and have fun. Later, people who had spent all their money occupied this place and used it as a temporary residence. Over time, it became a place similar to a slum.

The materials they use to build their houses basically come from the Sky Port. Some goods are transported in wooden boxes, and they can often pick up some discarded but flat wood.

Over time, it even became a business. Rich people reached an agreement with freight companies to buy their damaged and unusable shipping planks, processed them, and then sold them to people in need.

"Zinas, instead of going out to find a job, you lie at home and sleep all day, and you are still worshipping that mirror? What power does it bring to you? Instead, I bring you two cigarettes." Nasha raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting inside.

The house where Nasha's fellow villagers live is also made of wooden boards, about the size of an ordinary container, with large gaps between the wooden boards. The roof is covered with a layer of tarpaulin, which can only barely keep out the rain and provide psychological privacy.

"Come out and I'll take you to dinner."

Through the rough and twisted gaps in the door, Ye Lin clearly saw a thin man with gray hair kneeling on dirty bedding, praying in a low voice towards a mirror.

"Open the door. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. How am I supposed to explain this to your parents? Am I saying that you made a fortune in Wulan, or that you've gone crazy?" Nasha felt a surge of anger in his chest and was about to push the door open. The simple wooden house didn't even have a door handle.

"I will bring some money back to your family, and treat it as a loan from you, with no interest. I will also find you a job in a printing factory. It's a bit tiring but the salary is good. Don't be lazy any more."

"Did you hear me? I came in..."

  boom!

At the moment when reporter Nasha pushed the door, an invisible air wave suddenly burst out from Zenas' body. The powerful impact completely tore apart the already simple wooden house, and broken wood flew in all directions.

Zenas came out with an expressionless face and cold body. He ignored Nasha's call. Only when he looked into the mirror did his stiff face soften into obsession and enthusiasm.
