Chapter 641 Desolate Airui City

Regarding not living in Airui City, I originally didn't plan to tell Nitta Hiroshi and the others. After all, the Adventurer Base would probably not allow gangsters like them to use communication crystals.

As for mailing letters, they may not be able to explain it clearly in writing. After all, gangsters like Nitta Hiroshi were mostly from poor families when they were young. They could not afford to study, eat, and suffered everywhere. They had no choice but to become what they are now. , asking them to write a clear letter is no less difficult than asking them to challenge Achilles without dying.

All these troubles made me really not want to get too involved with them, but I couldn't deny that the information they brought me would definitely be useless.

So, after a brief moment of hesitation, I chose to tell them about my move.

"I have moved to Moonlight City a long time ago," I said, "but I still have some things I can't let go of in Airy City. I need you to help me pay attention to the situation in Airy City and the changes in the actions of Airy City's senior officials."

"Moving, moving." Yuasa Lian still looked arrogant. He thought for a while and said to me: "S-Sir, with all due respect, if you move to Moonlight City, what about the love-intelligence matter?" , it’s just, it’s a bit tricky.”

I smiled and said, "Why?"

Nitta Hiroshi waved his hand and signaled Yuasaren not to speak. Then, he took over Yuasaren's words and continued: "Sir, you don't know something. We are not allowed to use communication crystals in the Adventurer Base, and about writing letters. None of us can write about this matter."

"I see," I sighed, "That's really a bit tricky."

I turned to the two of them and said, "Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?"

Nitta Hiroshi shook his head.

Yuasa thought for a while and said, "Sir, how about I find someone who can write to help us write for us?"

"Well, that's a good idea," I said, "but have you ever thought about what consequences do you think there will be if the information is leaked?"

"That's right." Hiroshi Nitta angrily scolded Yuasa Ren, "You idiot, why didn't you think of such an important issue? Thank you for your wisdom, otherwise the lives of my brothers would have been handed over to you!"

Yuasa lowered his head and remained silent. I could even imagine the helpless expression on his face.

"Forget it," I waved my hand and said, "I want to find a way to solve the problem now, not just listen to your arguments here."

"Yes, sir" they both said in unison.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Do you have any better ideas?"

Nitta Hiroshi and Yuasa looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Since you have no choice, let me help you think of one," I said, "Do you know there is a casino at the end of this street?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Do you know the owner of the casino?" I asked.

"I know him, he's an old man named Renn," Hiroshi Nitta said.

"Very good" I said: "If you have any information that you need to provide, you can directly ask him to write it. As for the cost of the information -"

Both Nitta Hiroshi and Yuasa opened their eyes wide, waiting for this moment.

"Ren will pay you as appropriate according to the value of the information."

They both sighed at the same time.

I can feel that there is luck and regret in their sighs.

I grinned, showed a smile, and said to them: "Although I left here, it does not mean that I will not come back. Work hard and I will give you corresponding monetary rewards. However, if you dare to betray me, , the end will definitely be tragic."

"Yes, sir, I understand!" Nitta Hiroshi hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Yes, yes, sir!" Yuasa even said respectfully.

I parted company with Hiroshi Nitta and I continued looking for a place to eat.

My stomach kept rumbling, like bubbles emerging from the bottom of a hot spring, and I felt hungrier and hungrier.

Ever since the city lord started expelling foreigners, there have been fewer and fewer foreigner shops in Airui City. Until now, countless specialty shops that were once opened by foreigners have been hung up with boards or sealed with nails together with their doors. , and painted three big characters on it with oil paint: store closed.

Among them, many restaurants with full flavor have also been affected.

Even the ‘Old Place’, a restaurant frequented by elders from the adventurer base, was not immune to the disaster.

Looking at the open doors and empty shops, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

This place used to be overcrowded, but now it is completely empty. How is this scene any different from the Ai Rui City in front of us?

If Carter Horton and the others do not restrain themselves and change, Airei City will become a target of public criticism sooner or later.

By then, if you want to change anything, it will be too late~

In the end, what I found was a very small restaurant with nothing special about it except some simple meals.

After dinner, I wandered around the streets in a leisurely manner.

I find that no matter how many times I see these deserted streets, I still feel uncomfortable.

When I walked to the teahouse again, Cecil was sitting at the door, drinking tea and looking around.

I said hello from a distance: "What?"

Cecil said: "I'm free."

"Is there anyone?" I looked into the teahouse.

"How could there be someone?" Cecil said.

"No," I said, "I remember that before, your place was always packed almost every day, and guests would make reservations from time to time. Why is it like this now? Is it because you are not managing well?"

"Stop joking," Cecil said, "What does this have to do with my business? Those previous customers either left Airui City or stayed at home and refused to go out. The grand occasion at that time has long since disappeared. .”

"You are hiding at home, why?" I asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's for Mingzhe's protection," Cecil said: "Those who can come to my teahouse must be rich, noble, or related to the city lord. Not long ago, there was a purge of dissident rebels. He also strictly ordered that people with power and money were not allowed to form cliques for private gain or gather at will, otherwise they would have to be inspected. Those who did not accept inspection would be regarded as rebels. Tell me, in such an environment, who else would dare to go out and drink casually? Let’s chat over tea.”

I sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "I sympathize with you, you are so pitiful."

Cecil shook his head: "It's not pity. Although I no longer have the teahouse, I still have a lot of assets that I can use. At the worst, I can change places and start over."

"A local tycoon is a local tycoon" I couldn't help but praise: "I'll do it all over again, without any ambiguity."

Cecil laughed at himself, and then asked me: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, what are you doing here?"

I raised my chin at him and said vaguely, "Are they still in there?"

Cecil nodded and said, "Is something wrong?"

"Something's wrong," I said.

He looked around and saw no one, so he got up and walked inside, followed closely by me.
