Adventurer of the Elf World

Xiu packed up a bit and continued his journey.

Originally, Xiu thought it would take a long journey to see humans, but he didn't expect to see the outline of the city in the distance in just half a day.

Xiu could see from a distance that the dark smoke was rising into the sky.

The sky here was like a dark cloud covering the sun, and a thin layer of smoke and dust was spread over the whole city, which looked gloomy.

"This pollution is too serious." Xiu looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a while.

He has been to many cities in this world, including industrial areas, but this is the first time he has seen such an exaggerated one.

"Heiyun City~" Xiu thought about it for a while, and his memory of this city began to unfold.

The status of this place in the Kanto region is also very important, because this is an industrial city with most of the large factories in the Kanto region.

Most of them are heavy industries.

As for why so many factories choose to be in that place, it is naturally because Heiyun City has the largest power plant in the Kanto region, where the electricity fee is the cheapest, and there are corresponding supporting industries.

Xiu walked over curiously and found that the leaves of the trees near the city were a little strange, all gray.

It was not until he approached and raised his hand to touch it that he found his hands full of dust, and then the leaves themselves were revealed, but they were not much better, showing a sickly yellow.

And there were a few black spots on them.

He continued to walk forward, and before he got close, he smelled a strange smell.

It was the smell of fishy sea breeze mixed with smoke, and there was also a bit of chemical products that he couldn't explain.

What's even more weird is that there are very few traces of elves here, and the only traces that can be seen are little Rada.

Xiu walked in and soon entered the city.

He found that although this place can be regarded as a city, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops on the street are closed. Even if you meet passers-by, they are mostly elderly.

Walking into the center, Xiu found that the environment here is quite bad. There are two big rivers in the city, and there are many small rivers branching out of them, but these rivers are all mixed with various sewage.

On both sides of the river, you can see sewage outlets of various sizes, which directly discharge those strange sewage into the river.

The originally clear river water was dyed gray-brown, and in some places there were large pieces of oil floating on the water surface, reflecting the sunlight and showing colorful fantasy brilliance.

In some places, white foam accumulated on the river surface, which lasted for a long time and drifted with the river.

What's more important is that Xiu found that the stench of the city came from the river. The stench was so bad that he even felt that he needed to wear a gas mask before he dared to get close.

"What are these factories doing?"

Xiu suddenly realized how serious the situation of these factories would be after they lost supervision.

Unscrupulously discharging untreated sewage and waste gas, polluting the water source and air here.

And these things require the entire nature to pay for them.

People living here are also affected by pollution.

I'm afraid the most lively place here is not anything else, it should be the hospital.

"This place is considered useless." Xiu murmured as he looked at the scene in front of him.

As time passed, it was slowly time to get off work, and more and more pedestrians came and went on the street.

However, most of those people had sallow complexions and numb expressions, as if their spirits and energy had been drained by the heavy work.

Xiu seemed out of place among these people.

Moreover, Xiu found that most of the people here were middle-aged, and there were few younger people at all, which made the whole city look like it was in decline.

The further he walked, the more Xiu felt that there was no way out in this place. He was afraid that after this group of people left, Heiyun City would be deserted.

If it weren't for the constant roar of factories everywhere in the city, Xiu would even think that he had come to a dead city.

The situation was a bit abnormal.

After a rough walk, Xiu found the Elf Center of Heiyun City. It was a building composed of three petals. From a distance, it looked like a budding flower.

However, this flower was black and purple, which looked a bit gloomy.

And this should not be the original color, but because the outer wall had not been cleaned for a long time, the dust on it caused this color.

But this is the Elf Center, how could it not even be cleaned?

The situation here is also a bit wrong.

Xiu walked in with doubts. It looked like a Pokémon center in a big city, but the strange thing was that there was no one here.

Not only were there no trainers, but there was no Miss Joy either, and the front desk was empty.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

Xiu shouted inside, and after a while, he heard a lazy response.

"What's the matter~" A person in Joy's uniform walked out slowly, but she looked a little strange, as if she had just woken up.

After she came out, she glanced at Xiu and asked:

"Does the Pokémon need treatment?"

"Accommodation." Xiu originally wanted to ask what was going on here, but seeing her look, she wouldn't say much.

He could only stay here first and then find the reason himself.

But why was Miss Joy so strange, as if she was not formally trained at all.

After completing the formalities here, Xiu went up to the room.

Fortunately, the situation was much better than he had imagined. It was similar to other guest rooms. It was clear that someone had taken care of it.

It was just that it was not certain whether it was Miss Joy who cleaned it.

After coming here, Xiu immediately looked for information about Black Cloud City.

He had not originally planned to come here. He just wanted to find a place to rest before going to Light Red City.

But the strange situation that happened after coming here made him more or less interested.

For example, the Pokémon Center here was obviously the standard of a big city. How did it become like this?

Here, Xiu was even more surprised. A large part of the information about Black Cloud City on the Internet was recruitment information, but there were few negative news reports.

In addition to ordinary factory recruitment, the recruitment information here also recruited trainers.

The information about recruiting trainers showed that the salary was very high, even a little abnormal.

There were some reports of Pokémon injuring people in the news reports, but most of them were unclear and there were no details.

These strange information were summarized in Xiu's mind. After a little integration, he knew that something was wrong with the situation in Black Cloud City.

"Let's go out for a walk." After a short rest, Xiu and Casey got up and left the room.
