King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 801 Little Prisoner
Several days had passed since the meeting with Yu Jin, and during these days, the young master had been so immersed in finding the anomalies in Meiluo Petersburg that he had completely forgotten about the charter.

"Gu~~"

"Uh... I'm so hungry."

The young man patted his empty belly, searched his empty trouser pockets, and began to consider whether he should work hard or do something for him.

But if he robs in prison, wouldn't that be an even more serious crime?

Just when the young man was in a dilemma, a lunch box was handed to him.

"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll give it to someone else." Yu Jin shook the lunch box in his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! Yes!"

The young master stood up, grabbed the lunch box and started to eat it, while Yu Jin shook his head and admired it.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you to be in such a bad state."

"temporary."

"Boom!"

The young man threw the lunch box casually, and it fell into a trash can in the distance with incredible accuracy.

"What have you been busy with these days? I almost starved to death."

Yu Jin and Gong Zi were squatting on the side of the street, looking like two idle street urchins.

"Don't exaggerate the facts. I just used up my coupons today." The young master first defended himself against Yu Jin's statement that he was about to starve to death, and then he sighed deeply.

"Hey, where on earth is that place? I almost went out to look for it these past few days."

After saying that, he scratched his head in annoyance. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he paused and looked at the whistling embers beside him.

"Hey, didn't you find anything?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with an emotion called "hope".

"Uh... Let me give you a heads up. I don't have your heart pounding when I get close to a whale. Besides, I haven't been running around like you these past few days..."

The young master's eyes dimmed when he heard this. Yu Jin's words almost told him that there was no more news.

Sure enough, relying on others is not enough, the key is to work hard on your own.

But then he heard Yu Jin change the subject: "But I found a peculiar prisoner."

"Oh, how strange."

The young master agreed absentmindedly. He was trying to recall where he had not been.

"It's nothing, actually. I just estimated that he should have been here for hundreds of years, right?"

Yu Jin stroked his chin and said calmly.

"Really? That really is...what? Hundreds of years?!"

The young master suddenly jumped up from the ground. It was really rare to see a prisoner living for hundreds of years!
"Why are you so excited? Don't you have a lot of executives?" Yu Jin glanced at the young master sideways. What a fuss! Don't you have a lot of executives in the Fatui?

Oh, you should remove the word "gongzi" when calculating.

"That's different. There's no comparison." The young master waved his hand. The Fatui executives were all talented, the kind that only appear once in decades. There was no comparison.

"Hundreds of years... then he should know a lot of secrets about this place, right?" The young man lowered his head and muttered to himself.

How long has he been here? How long has the other person been here? We can definitely get a lot of useful information from that prisoner!
"I thought so too." Yu Jin also stood up from the ground. He waved at the young master, signaling him to follow.

"Come here, let's find him."

……

Due to the special location of Merope Petersburg, the most commonly used material, wood, is not common here. Instead, it is replaced by steel produced in factories.

Therefore, most of the houses here are made of steel. Walking in the steel alleys makes people feel cold and unfamiliar.

"You want to know about the peculiarities of Melotti-Petersburg?"

In an inconspicuous house in an inconspicuous alley, four figures, two large and two small, were looking at each other.

"That's right, if you can tell me, feel free to ask!"

The young master nodded solemnly to Carter and winked wildly at Ember.

[Are you kidding me?!]

He shouted wildly in his heart, but unfortunately no one could hear him. The reason for all this was simple - the young master was facing two little brats.

And she looks no older than ten.

A boy with gray hair and wearing a green suit opposite him held the teacup on the table in a very mature manner, looking like he was in deep thought.

"Brother Carter, is there such a place in Petersburg? Tell me about it!"

As a result, the little girl next to him only fluttered twice to break his defense.

"Okay, okay, there are so many strange places! What do you want to hear about? The weird meat in the concessions? The ram that runs automatically in the middle of the night? Or the non-existent pipes?"

The boy named Catepila quickly drank the boiled water in his hand and looked at the girl in front of him helplessly.

"all!!!"

Lenore cheered, jumping right off her chair.

"Let's start with the strange cuts of meat in the concession meal. I wonder if you, Lenore..."

In the following period of time, Yu Jin and Gongzi finally indulged in their addiction to urban legends.

Of course, whether you want to hear this or not, I'm afraid you have to put it in quotation marks.

Carter described those rumors that came from nowhere in vivid detail, as if he had experienced them personally.

Affected by this, the anger that had been accumulating in the young master's heart also dissipated a lot. If there is no good result from this trip, then just relax.

Time always passes quickly in stories, and Carter stopped telling his story soon. He looked up at the clock on the wall and pointed at the schoolbag on the table.

"Lenore, you should go to class with Ms. Penny."

"Ah? Can Brother Carter come a little later?"

"cannot!"

This time Carter was not so easy to talk to. He frowned, and Lenore immediately put on her schoolbag and went out.

"Goodbye, big brothers and Brother Carter!"

Before leaving, she did not forget to wave goodbye to the three people in the room.

"goodbye!"

Ember waved at her.

"What a good child." As if he was thinking of his own sister, the young man's face became more gentle.

"So she shouldn't be here, right?" Carter said after watching Lenore leave and sighed.

The words behind him made the young master pause, and only then did he realize why there was a little girl under ten years old in the prison?
"I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Was Lenore also wrongly judged by that cardinal who ruled by the Oracle? If so, I'll go up and smash it right now!"

Ember said, crossing his arms.

"Don't be so anxious. When I find the big whale, we'll go together!"

The young master stretched out his fist, and the two men, who rarely agreed with each other, immediately touched each other's fist.

"You two really are...haha."

Seeing the arrogant performance of Yu Jin and Gong Zi, Carter couldn't help but lower his head and smiled. After laughing, he shook his head and said:

"That's not the case. Lenore has not been judged by the Cardinal of the Decree. She was born here and lost her parents at a very young age."

Thinking of Lenore's background, Carter couldn't help but feel unfortunate for her. Not only did she lose her parents at such a young age, but she was also locked in a steel cage.

Fortunately, after much inquiry, she found out that Lenore did have a grandfather. As long as she could be sent to her grandfather's house, it would add a touch of color to her gloomy childhood.

"That's really unfortunate." The young master commented on this.

"So I hope she can get better. Don't you want to know what's so special about Meiluo Petersburg?"

"Help send Lenore up there, and I'll tell you."

"I guarantee that my information is more complete than that duke's."

Cartepila smiled brightly at the Young Master and Ember, and stretched out his dark claw-like hands.

Noticing the difference in his arm, the young master thought of someone, so he asked:
"Do you know Alecino?"

"Who?"

"No problem, I'll take this job."
