Chapter 225 Moving Castle (5200 Monthly Ticket Plus More)
New Year 1027, January 2.
There was a festive atmosphere in the shops in Pulmouth, and Aaron watched several big festive parades.
But after night, wandering travelers will find that the city's prosperity and wealth have nothing to do with them.
They tried everything, but still could not have a foothold in Pulmouth.
He could only wander around, endured by the contempt and ostracism of the patrolmen, and used broken newspapers to resist the cold under the bridge.
Of course Aaron doesn't have to be a homeless person, but he also feels a little lost when he looks at the huge city under the night.
"It is said that Pulmouth gathers young people with dreams from all over Inves, which is known as the dream of a metropolis, but very few can really successfully realize their dreams..."
'Most of them poured their hard work, sweat, and even blood and tears into this city, and left sadly after getting old or seriously ill, or even died here directly...'
He glanced at the scavengers passing by, and felt that the other party looked only in his thirties, but his eyes were dull, as if he had lost all hope.
Aaron sighed and walked to a bar with a warm glow.
On the bar sign, the name 'Hunter's Bar' is written.
"The nightlife belonging to the Extraordinary has just begun..."
He entered the bar, and since Inves also had a holiday in the New Year, there were still quite a few guests inside.
On the ground lay all kinds of drunkards, all of whom had drunk too much, but no one cared about them now.
Aaron noticed that on one wall of the bar, there was also a row of wanted notices.
"Suk Hood, fraudster, 20 pounds bounty, 1 pounds for those who provide valid clues!"
"Murphy Deyk, murderer, 50 pounds bounty, 2 pounds for valid clues!"
"'Savage' Buffel, with an ominous surname, seriously wounded, a bounty of 15 pounds..."
Under the wanted order, some have the seal of the Pulmouth Police Headquarters, commonly known as 'Momora Field', while others do not, replaced by a line of small print - 'If you are interested, please contact Mr. So-and-so. ’
Sometimes, the main body of the task will become the housekeeper of a rich man, or a detective agency.
Aaron knew that this was due to the rapid population increase in Pulmouth and too few police officers, which led to the proliferation of various crimes, but could not be effectively solved, so they had to seek the supplement of civil forces.
From this, many professions such as detective agencies, security companies, and bounty hunters were born.
"Yesterday, 'Mad' Carl forced his way into the casino of the Blood Snake Gang and pulled out 'Six Fingers' Sosolo. He is really a lunatic, isn't he afraid of retribution?"
"How can you be a bounty hunter without being crazy?"
"But it's not good to be too crazy. I haven't seen 'Giant' Ramy for a long time. He may have been dismembered and thrown into the Dosom River."
The Dorsom River is the largest river flowing through Pulmouth, where it flows directly into the Dark Sea.
There are many piers on both sides of the river.
Of course... it is also regarded by gangsters as a good place to kill people and throw corpses.
"Give me a glass of lemonade."
Aaron came to the bar and let these voices get into his ears, thinking thoughtfully: "Being a bounty hunter is still very dangerous... Once you encounter a Beyonder criminal, eight out of ten will be given away, and the other two may have long since passed. Contact with mystery, maybe contact with mystery because of this... Well, this should be a suitable career for me."
Whether it is his own quality level or his divination ability, Aaron can complete the task at an astonishing speed, and then become rich.
"But... I am the dignified Earl of Green Forest, the 'Longevity' feared by the Investigation Bureau, the rich man with 8,000 pounds in cash, to be a mercenary or a bounty hunter? Must be crazy!"
Aaron complained in his heart and took a sip of lemonade.
After waiting for a while, he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
The lavatory in the bar is huge, with rows of separate toilets.
Aaron counted, entered the door of the seventh bathroom, and saw the stained toilet in front of him, frowning: "I really can't find a place."
He did not untie the belt, but took out a silver-white half-face mask from the 'meat eater's bag' and pressed it on his face.
Then, Aaron turned around and looked at the back of the bathroom door, where there was a mysterious symbol with a semicircle in a triangle and a line running through it.
In the knowledge of the spiritual world, it has the meanings of 'space', 'transmission', 'opening the door' and so on.
It just looks like this symbol is a little crooked, like a child's graffiti.
His expression remained the same, and he tapped the tip of the triangle, the middle of the semicircle, and the end of the line.
The next moment, with Aaron reopening the door, what appeared in front of him was not the original men's bathroom, but a huge palace!
The hall was covered by curtains, making people wonder where they were, and there was a lantern hung on the wall at intervals, radiating a warm brilliance.
There are various doors on the wall, and from time to time, a Beyonder wearing a cloak or showing his face calmly walks out of the door, nodding to each other, or showing a friendly smile.
"Happy New Year! New here?"
A small man walked by, and a smile appeared on his mouth under the black iron mask: "Welcome to the Black Queen!"
...
'This secret gathering doesn't look easy...'
The information here is naturally the one obtained from Cornelius Erth.
According to the other party, as long as you complete the previous actions at a fixed location, you can enter this place through the 'door' and trade with other mysterious people.
'This is the Black Queen, but the Black Queen is not only here... In fact, the Extraordinary will hide in all the mysterious gatherings and areas in Pulmouth, collectively referred to as the 'Black Queen', and even ordinary people can often be seen here, Most of them are occult lovers and folklorists. ’
The way to open the 'door' does not require infusion of spirituality, which invisibly widens the scope of customers and allows ordinary people to enter.
'I have to say, the master here is very strong and powerful... Maybe there is some tacit understanding with the General Bureau of Investigation? ’
Aaron's eyes instantly turned pure white, and his palms unconsciously swiped across the walls of the palace.
'At least a non-human level magical item...is it a palace in essence? This is the first time I have seen such a big monster! ’
'The main function is - 'Teleport', you can set up no more than 20 'transmission points' within the range of the largest block, and transfer people who meet the conditions in or out... It is really suitable for a secret transaction. stronghold. ’
'It's name is - 'Halsey's Moving Castle', and the negative effect is that its owner may be randomly teleported to any place within such a large area of Pulmouth at any time...'
