Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Among those who left, in addition to the drifters who migrated spontaneously, there were also some tribal warriors who were guarding and were more familiar with the routes to the land of Shem.

Shi Cha hummed a little tune as he walked out from the platform extending from the middle level of the depression lagoon and headed towards the dock. Along the way, he did not forget to greet the merchants and technology hunters he met. He was in a good mood.

He gave up the bidding last time and met with Lord Lu. Naturally, he asked him what he had done these days and the changes that had taken place in the lagoon. The Black Claws were indeed mature in their handling of the matter. Even among the technological hunters, only some core and senior executives were implicated. Although ordinary hunters were shocked, it did not affect their actual lives.

Not to mention the foreign merchants and local residents who are completely outsiders.

The order in Lake Town was basically stabilized peacefully and the replacement was completed.

Regarding the latter, Lu Meng mentioned a few words, at least letting him know who not to mess with.

As for the former, he just smiled and passed it off. Shi Cha didn't dare to test him further.

But the young noble didn't care about these, at least in his opinion it was not a bad thing - not to mention that later someone from the Technology Hunter's franchise store actually came to receive them specially. Several days later, the big brother who had bid with him came to the door. Shi Cha thought that the other party was here to cause trouble, and asked Su Cheng to take people to prepare. As a result, the other party nodded and apologized as soon as they met. His enthusiasm made him confused and embarrassed.

With his shrewdness as a businessman, Shi Cha quickly became friends with the eldest brother, and the caravans of both sides even exchanged a wave of goods, and the business was very lively.

Even without knowing the specific details, Shi Cha could guess that all these changes in attitude were probably because of Lord Lu.

I don't have the ability to do this on my own.

This made Team Leader Shi sigh again, is the guild's second-level franchise really that powerful? It seems that compared with other direct subordinates, others can be regarded as touching the edge of the second level by obtaining the franchise, but Lord Lu is because the highest he can get is the second level.

You can't be on par with Mrs. Kana.

With the same identity, the influence is very different.

Just a few days ago, Shi Cha saw members of the caravan that had been with Lord Lu packing their luggage and preparing to board the ship.

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be the Tortoise from the depression lagoon, which was quite impressive.

The business that needed to be done was almost done. To be honest, according to Shi Cha's planned progress, he had been delayed in the depression lagoon for a long time. Seeing the Turtle, he guessed that Lord Lu was about to leave.

I think he would not forget to give himself a ride.

until……

"Wait a minute, why are you leaving now?" The young noble was dumbfounded as he looked at the white sail going away. "I haven't even boarded the ship yet."

"Captain Shi, do you have the leisure to come here to look at the water?" Lu Meng, who had just returned from the dock, saw Shi Cha and said with a smile.

He was accompanied by Black Claw's deputy Zhou Jing and Xiaogu, who was forcibly taken out for a walk by Lu Meng.

Zhou Jing was very fond of this beautiful and strong mountain hound. He used to tease it from time to time, but unfortunately Xiaogu looked as if he had eaten too much and needed to digest his food, so he was always lazy.

Zhou Jing had just discussed with Lu Meng the results of his interrogation of the Bone-Flesh-Swappers, mentioning that they had been chasing a giant white beast.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't connect it with the lazy dog ​​right at my feet.

The most important thing is that even the Bone Cultists did not think that they were looking for the White Wolf, but a creature that was even more legendary.

It is said that it is tall, like a moving hill, but its movements are as agile and swift as thunder, and its intelligence is no less than that of humans.

According to the Bone and Flesh Cultists, this creature was once obtained by the royal family of the United Cities at that time. However, after so many changes, the emperor has changed several times, the abandoned city has been looted, and the palace walls have collapsed. Even if it is still alive, it has disappeared.

Otherwise, the current Tengu Emperor would not have thought of sending the warriors to catch Leviathan for fun.

Lu Meng was not surprised by this.

He let Xiaogu transform into a white wolf as a sleight of hand, and then dealt with the stormy waves, the dark city area and the Tortoise - although it was a stupid dog, if the mountain hound gene in its body had not been activated, it might not have been able to escape.

"You've come just in time," Zhou Jing nodded when he saw Shi Cha, and said, "Mr. Lu has already completed the formalities for you. Remember to go to the office to get the permit. We can leave the lagoon together soon."

"So that's how it is," Shi Cha, who felt that he was not abandoned, had a look of joy between his brows, but still had some doubts: "But I've never heard that any permission is required to depart from Hu Town..." Kaidun City and Hu Town have close relations, not just because of Watcher Qin's personal selfish friendship.

As the only remaining industrial city-state in the Southern Union, it has dealings with the base of technology hunters. Whether it is the exchange of technology or trade logistics, it is a very natural need.

Silang, the lord of Kaiton City and the Tenshin family, was a pragmatist. He established contact with the depression lagoon early on. During this period, any bandits that might be encountered on the road were wiped out by Tenshin Risho's army, making it difficult for them to cause trouble.

Therefore, although it takes a long way to go from the depression lagoon to Kaiton City, bypassing the abandoned city, it is already a rare quiet and safe passage in the wasteland of bones.

This matter is also beneficial to the Depression Lagoon, and the Tech Hunters usually don't stop it in the past.

"Hmm?" Zhou Jing was a little surprised when he heard Shi Cha's doubts, as if he was surprised that a frequent merchant didn't know the rules. He glanced at Lu Meng and saw that the nameless man didn't say anything special, so he tried to explain: "But I heard from the hunters in Lake Town that the rules have always been like this..."

"If you want to go to the Mine Town, you have to think carefully."

The permits they issued were more like life and death warrants than passes.

It's you who want to go.

If anything goes wrong, Depression Lagoon will not be held responsible.

After all, even for them, being sent to the outskirts of that abandoned city to carry out missions was a recognized tough job among technology hunters, and riots, looting, murders... were common occurrences.

Danger is everywhere.

Often, the unlucky person has to be decided by drawing lots.

From another perspective, merchants would rather take a long detour, and unless they really encountered an unavoidable natural disaster such as a beast disaster, they would never be willing to go to Ai Mine Town to seek refuge.

It can be seen.

Shi Cha: “?”

and many more.

"Lord Lu!" He quickly turned to Lu Meng, "We are not going back to Kaiton City..."

But go to the Mine Town?
Unexpectedly, the white-haired young man also turned his head to look at him with confusion in his eyes.

As if to say:

Didn't I mention that?

No!

Shi Cha quickly realized that it seemed that from the beginning, Lord Lu really had not said that the purpose of their trip was to open the city...

It's all my own misunderstanding.

Just as the mentality of a little noble collapsed silently, everyone ignored the attitude of the other person present, as if they didn't exist, because the girl had already been shattered into pieces.

Rather than being a walking corpse, it would be more like a wandering soul following Lu Meng.

Lu Dai: “…”

wrong……

Why should I go with you?
