Full-time insurance agent

Chapter 51 The Alchemy Tower Exploded

It was obviously a summer afternoon, a restless season, but the moment Fei Fei saw that face, the entire area seemed to be frozen instantly.

The person who was hit had a high cylindrical hat on his head, and there were three rings of belts surrounding the roof, with several worn holes in the middle one.

Wearing a decent black tuxedo, Fei Fei stood up straight and noticed that the person he hit was two heads taller than him.

The black cane in his hand is slightly thicker than an ordinary cane. There is no decoration on the top of the cane. The tail end is covered with copper and has exquisite carvings.

Did he hit a wall or a person? It hurts!

"Yes, I'm sorry sir, I bumped into you accidentally!"

Feifan stroked his chest, bowed and apologized, but his rude words were because of the gentleman's mask.

On the way here, when we entered the outer city, we saw that not many passers-by wore this kind of beak mask. The round holes on both sides were valves for filtering the air. The entire beak was made of leather and sewn with thick threads.

The tall man in a bowl hat in front of him had his entire bird's beak sealed with metal rivets. He had two round black glass goggles. The upper and lower beaks were riveted together by some kind of metal at the tip of the front part of the beak.

"Oh, it doesn't matter!"

The tall man raised his right hand with a black leather glove and nodded in return. When he raised his head, he glanced at Dosta not far behind Fei Fei.

Well, this is an extraordinary illusion. The lenses are black, the top hat and beak mask wrap the man tightly, and there is even a sand-proof silk scarf around his neck.

Gu Lie came to Fei Fei first and said hesitantly: "The moment this man turned around, I felt extremely dangerous, but this feeling seemed not to exist."

It seemed that there was something wrong not with my own senses, but with this man.

However, thinking of the words emphasized in the note left by Jacqueline's mother, Fei Fei had no other plans.

Just go home.

God has determined a role for everyone. Don't meddle in the gossip around you, especially the gossip of wandering women.

At first, Feifan felt that his vocabulary in Mainland China was not enough. After repeatedly confirming that it was "lang" and not "liang", he instantly realized the greatness of Kesai's father.

No waves can be lost, the colorful and gorgeous life has long since left Kesai.

After returning home and making up for lunch, Fei Fei called Gu Lie to the room alone for questioning.

"Mr. Gulie, it took less than three hours from the time you went out to the time you came back here, not including creating false impressions."

It was a very stable statement. Gu Lie couldn't understand it and could only follow Fei Fei's words.

"Extraordinary, my stealth is still at the beginning level. If I advance, it will be even faster."

The point is, brother, don’t worry about the details.

"Gu Lie, where did you find those two bodies? Well, roughly."

Fortunately, Dosta warmed up the two thieves in advance, and Gu Lie vaguely understood Fei Fei's meaning.

"The corpse pit in the outer city!"

"I saw those two people when I was lighting the fire. Well, they were still fresh!"

"Yeah, slaves are thrown into those pits every day!"

Silence, a long silence, Gu Lie was unsure of Fei Fei's attitude and did not ask.

This can't be said, and it can't be said. The difference in worldviews caused the two people to sit opposite each other, but have two different minds.

"The kingdom has not had a national war for 50 years. Where did these slaves come from?"

When the question came up, Fei Fei was silent again. What was there to say? The slaves were either snatched or bought.

"Haha, Olanto is not fighting, but Bitland is fighting. The Kingdom of Bitland and the Principality of Tar are fighting."

Looking at his sentimental employer, Gu Lie stopped mocking him.

"Thousands of people die every day on the mainland due to wars, natural disasters, and plagues."

Feifan is not the Holy Mother, and he has no intention of pushing the entire continent to rebuild.

“Just wonder how many of those people who died had insurance!”

"Sir, poor people can't afford insurance!"

“I can’t afford it with 100 gold coins, and I can’t afford it with 1 silver coin, so what about 50 dinars?”

50 dinars is the lowest standard for an insurance contract that Fei Fei knows, and the beneficiary can get 5 silver coins.

Gu Lie didn't answer and shook his head.

He wanted to say that 50 dinars was enough for a poor man to buy bread for two and a half weeks. Black bread without nutrition only cost 1 dinar. If he didn't eat bread, he would starve to death.

Even if you sign an insurance contract, you will starve to death in a few days and defraud God of insurance money?

Even if you defraud the insurance money, God will not blame you, but the rules of the Underwriters Association require you to wait two years before you can get the insurance money.

Two years later, the whole family is starving to death, so what’s the point of needing insurance money?

"Gu Lie, come with me for a walk!"

The carriage came from the rubble area to the central area, and then headed south from the central area towards the outer city.

The glass of the carriage was well sealed, but Gu Lie still held two dust masks in his hands, one shaped like a bird's beak and the other shaped like a pig's beak.

Feifan fiddled with the honeycomb air valves on both sides of the "pig mouth" mask, feeling a little low.

"Look, it's extraordinary, the relatively flat peak to the east."

Gu Lie excitedly raised his arms and pointed out the window, his dark brown curved bangs shaking up and down with his excitement.

I looked up and saw that it was normal. York City was surrounded by mountains and could be seen every day.

"Look inside the mountain, did you know? The entire mountain is empty, and there is a steam train running inside!"

Gu Lie's face was filled with a warm smile, at least he felt that it could be contagious to the extraordinary.

Accompanying him all the way, Gu Lie knew that the handsome young man in front of him was just a young man who had just passed his coming-of-age ceremony.

If that troll were here, he'd say an eight-year-old orc is capable of hunting on his own.

Feeling Gu Lie's kindness, Fei Fei pulled down the single-piece goggles on his head, turned on the lenses for long-sightedness, and looked at Cangshan Mountain in the distance.

The mountains in the distance seem to be pulled in front of you, and you can touch them just by reaching out the window.

Sure enough, there was a misty white smoke in the gap between the mountains. It should be the steam emitted from the exhaust pipe of the mountain tunnel.

Nearly two hours later, the carriage arrived at its destination.

Although it is summer in the low shack in the distance, the top of the shack is covered with dry and yellow grass leaves, and just two out-of-control branches are the load-bearing force of the entire shack.

These were the rocks that I thought were the foot of the mountain when I passed them on the road for the first time. They were uneven and pitted.

The inner city is in the center of the entire basin, while the outer city is scattered at the foot of the entire ring-shaped basin.

Shacks are not built on the mountains for safety. On the contrary, wild beasts on the mountains, flash floods in summer, and mudslides can destroy a shack area at will.

The most eye-catching building in the middle of the shack area is the huge production tower.

Each tower has a row of huge chimneys emitting thick colored smoke into the air.

Feifan thought it was all black smoke at first, until he saw the enchanting green, cunning yellow, and even more black smoke as black as ink.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft"

Feifan, who was wearing a pig mouth mask, was breathing with some difficulty.

Behind him, Gu Lie followed Fei Fei as he walked forward aimlessly, looking at the same old yellow shacks and various alchemy towers covered with pipes.

Looking at these, it is better to go to the crop workshops in the north.

Finally, the man in front stopped.

After walking around the slum area for so long, Fei Fei finally saw an active person.

There was a little boy standing at the door of the shack on the roadside. His mouth was covered with a piece of colorless cloth that was pulled down to his chin. His dirty little hands were holding a wooden bowl with a gap.

Through the monocle, Fei Fei could clearly see that the dirty yellow water must have been connected under the rusty water supply pipe.

The little boy licked his lips but did not drink the water immediately. Extraordinary guess is to wait for the water to clear.

After passing a few more slum areas, the foot of the mountain in the distance was also clear in the field of vision of the monocle.

Without moving forward, Feifan almost vomited at the scene inside the sharpened fence.

The filth and chaos in the slum area at least have some traces of human society.

The scene inside the fence can be said to be hell. One wooden cage after another is arranged like this.

Some cages are filled with naked "people", and some cages have no one in them, but a bright red like fire appears under the single-lens mirror.

Feifan vomited out because there was a carriage without a car parked next to the cage, filled with people lying on it.

Suddenly, a familiar breath filled Feifan's nose.

It was when I was next to a power plant in my previous life that I smelled the smell of a chemical plant. It was obviously disgusting, but it made Fei Fei couldn't help but take a few more puffs.

"Ah sneeze" sneezes sounded one after another.

When Fei Fei got used to the itching and soreness in his nose and eyes, as well as the burning pain in his throat, Gu Lie came behind Fei Fei.

"Gulie, is that a slave concentration camp over there?"

"Yes, there are more than a dozen such concentration camps."

He handed the removed "pig mouth" mask to Gu Lie behind him, then pushed the monocle in front of his head to the top of his head, Fei Fei just stared at the Alchemy Tower not far away.

"Why do you think so many people are crowded into that slender alchemy tower?"

"To survive, my lord."

Unknowingly, Gu Lie's answer was filled with honorifics.

A slender man who aspires to become a Thief Saint, with bright blue eyes shining.

Gu Lie respects anyone who respects life.

"I hope the following news can make you feel happy again, sir."

"oh?"

"Say it!"

Good news can indeed be inspiring.

"The year-end meeting of the Seven Continental Powers will be held in the royal capital of Olanto. It is said that the ten important issues include the abolition of 'slavery'."

"Haha, this is really good news!"

The extraordinary laughter that revived only lasted for five seconds before it ended abruptly.

Gu Lie didn't know why, and thought that this employer whose thoughts were difficult to discern was a glass-hearted person.

When the same attire, the same cane, and the same beak mask appeared in Gulie's sight, the keen thief saw that the employer in front of him was facing a formidable enemy.

Magicians need to mobilize magic elements to complete magic perception. Knights and swordsmen rely on the "heart of the strong" to perceive their surroundings. Thieves are slower. Thieves' perception ability can only be released in a stealth state.

So Feifan discovered the visitor first, and Gu Lie realized it later.

The swallow-tailed man approached slowly, and when he reached Feifan's side, he turned his head and passed by.

"We seem to have met before, what a coincidence!"

It wasn't until the swallow-tailed man went away and disappeared beside a certain shack that Feifan let out a long breath.

"Hey, Gu Lie, do you know? This man wearing a mask is at least a high-level professional. I used magic perception to feel the alchemy tower over there. I didn't notice this guy until he came to his face."

The somewhat ashamed thief roared in his heart: "Thieves who don't sneak around will end up fighting against the scum!"

Just as the two were packing up and preparing to return, a dazzling light erupted from an alchemy tower in the distance.

"boom"

It took a while before a loud noise was heard.

The man with the bird's beak and the mask who passed by just now came from that direction.
