Chapter Thirty Elders

Start from the church in the middle of Meteor Street and go directly to East Street.

After Kurollo led Luo for a distance on the main street, he turned into the alleyway.

The main street is empty, and above the alleyway are cables and wires tangled together vertically and horizontally, blocking part of the sunlight, making the alleyway quite dark.

As soon as you walk into the alley, you can see mice and cockroaches running around, and you can also see residents of Meteor Street sitting or standing like statues.

I don't know if there is a difference between East Street and West Street. The residents of Meteor Street seen in the alleys are almost covered with a hooded cloak made of old cloth.

The arrival of Luo and Kuroro didn't seem to affect them. They were all silent and basically ignored them.

Luo just glanced at it roughly, then retracted his gaze, and stopped aiming randomly, so as not to increase the trouble.

After wandering around in the alley for a while, the narrow space gradually became larger, and the number of rats, cockroaches and people gradually decreased. The only thing that remained unchanged was the tangled pile of wires and cables overhead.

After arriving here, it has been about an hour and a half since Luo saw Kuroro, that is to say, the conditions for stealing the ability to read have been cancelled.

Although I don't know why Kuroro gave up, but since he gave up, Luo didn't care.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, the two came to an independent house.

Surrounded by buildings of four or five stories or higher, this house is only two stories high and occupies a large open space.

There is nothing outstanding about the exterior of the house, it is very ordinary, but the overall color is mainly white, there is a circle of walls around the house, and there is a rusty iron gate at the gate.

Located here, although it occupies a large area, even an insulating belt is isolated from the surrounding buildings to free up extra space, but it can't improve the environment with poor lighting.

Most house owners don't care about light, or they wouldn't live here.

Kuroro walked to the iron gate, and there were two men standing on both sides of the gate, all wearing cloaks made of rags, but they didn't cover their hats.

"Is there something wrong?"

The gatekeeper knew Kuroro, so he directly asked Kuroro why he came.

Kuroro nodded, and said lightly, "I brought an ancient relic for the elder."

As soon as the voice fell, the iron door creaked harshly, but there was no follow-up questioning, and the iron door was slowly opened.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards on both sides of the door, Kuroro led Luo in. From the beginning to the end, the guards only glanced at Luo's unfamiliar face, and did nothing else.

Luo thought that the defense was strong enough, but it probably explained another problem, that is, the people in the house were not worried about the enemy attacking at all, and they didn't know whether it was self-confidence or arrogance.

Kuroro knocked on the door three times. After a while, the door was opened. Kuroro walked in first, followed by Luo.

As soon as he entered the house, Luo Momo retracted his complaints about the strength of the defense. There was no other reason. There were about sixty people standing in the house.

Compared with the two list guards outside, the number of people in the house is a bit exaggerated.

The template of the house is similar to a building in a building. There are people standing by the windows of the lobby on the first floor, and there are also people standing in the corners and under the stairs. As the stairs go up, there is a person standing every five steps, and the railing on the second floor is even more so. Exaggerated, full of people.

If there is a more exaggerated stand than the railing on the second floor, it is around the sofa in the lobby, where dozens of people stand in line.

These people were all dressed in the same way, wearing a rag cloak, almost all of them were standing, only one short person was sitting on the sofa, and this person was probably the elder of East Street.

"This person... can also read, and he is not the only one who can."

Luo calmly glanced at the number of people in the house, and finally looked at the person sitting on the sofa with a peaceful look.

Covered by a rag and cloak, and the light was not very bright, it was impossible to see his face clearly. Judging from the hands holding the crutches, he should be middle-aged.

Appearance is irrelevant, the key problem is that there are almost sixty people here, but twenty-one of them can read.

The overall number cannot be discerned in a short period of time, but a person with the ability to read is like a firefly in the dark without intentionally hiding it, making it easy for Luo to count the number.

This is because those with the ability to read are practicing winding all the time, leaving the overflowing qi on the body surface.

Judging by the apparent capacity, there should be five stronger ones.

The strongest one is the elder. I don't know what his thoughts are. There are so many people around him. Is it because they are greedy for life and afraid of death, or is it related to his thoughts?

The second strongest is the man standing next to the elder.

"Um?"

Luo glanced at the second strongest man without a trace, slightly startled in his heart, but remained calm on his face.

Kurolo said that Cook has a twin brother, probably this man. Although there are still some differences in body and appearance, the pair of triangular eyes are so similar.

"Kulolo, this guy didn't even make it clear."

Luo Zhen wanted to pull up Kuroro's collar and spit on his face. Judging from the positions of the Cook twin brothers, they were probably the elder's left and right hands, and such important information was passed by in one stroke.

In just a few seconds, Luo recognized the situation in the house and realized the potential crisis, but his mental quality was strong enough, and he didn't show the slightest abnormality on his face.

The elder of Dongjie who was sitting on the sofa looked at Luo quietly for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "Is this person Luo?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Luo's body subconsciously tensed up slightly, not because of what the elder said, but because after the words fell, a cold gaze swept over him.

The arrival of that gaze is like the letter of a poisonous snake, it will be closed at the touch of a touch, very fast.

Not the elder's gaze, but from Cook's twin brother...

"I was tricked by Kuroro."

Luo didn't panic, and secretly thought about how to escape if he collapsed later.

In fact, Luo misunderstood Kurolo.

Although Cook's twin brother Kuli is the right-hand man that the elders value, the decisions made by the elders will not be influenced by anyone. Once the elders decide that Luo has enough value, Kuli can't do anything.

"Yes." Kuroro replied calmly.

"There are still two hours." The elder said calmly.

Two hours is the remaining time limit agreed with Kuroro.

Even if Luo took the initiative to send it to his eyes, the elder didn't seem to plan to do it right away, but had to wait for the remaining time limit to pass.

"Yeah." Kuroro nodded and said, "Before that, I want to introduce Luo to you."

No honorific title was used, so it can be seen that the relationship between Kuroro and the elder is not superior or inferior, and Luo captured this detail.

"Continue to talk." The elder's eyes hidden in the shadows were deflected, and he looked at Luo with a calm expression. To be precise, he fell on the hand of the ominous omen.

"He can appreciate antiquities, can judge the age and origin of antiquities, and brought one." Kuroro only focused on the key points, simplifying the introduction and the purpose of the visit.

The elder silently stared at the hand of ominous omen in Luo's hand, and said calmly, "I see."
