Him and their stars

The so-called Salven Square, located in the center of the foggy city, was named after its former "owner", the imperial Count Salven who was very fond of this island.

In terms of class attributes, Count Salvin was indeed an evil colonial ruler, but from a purely humanitarian perspective, this literary young nobleman was considered a quite enlightened and benevolent leader. He built a large garden square on the other side of the river across the city where he lived, allowing all citizens, including people on Earth, to enter and play. After thinking about it for a while, he built three underground floors under the garden and designed it into an underground shopping mall and complex.

This place soon became the largest shopping mall on the three islands, with a large flow of people and merchants gathering every day.

It is said that when the community and the earth gained independence, someone once proposed to change the name of this square, which symbolizes the remnants of colonialism, to Independence Square, or Freedom Square or something like that. However, after the empire had ruled for so many years, many old and young people were left behind. These people changed their identities and sneaked into the new government and continued to be their powerful and powerful people.

They began to move up and down, and the reasons they proposed were very high-sounding: "Changing the name to remove the traces of the previous generation is a betrayal of history and shows lack of confidence in the future."

Anyway, after such a period of operations, the name has never been changed. In addition, Marshal Li's death has caused chaos between the government and the public for a period of time. This name, which was full of the flavor of the previous government, has been retained.

"I know Salvin Square well! Before I was twelve years old, I would play here almost every day. I've been to almost every store." This is how Gongsun Qing introduced Yu Lian.

Yu Lian expressed doubts about this. You know, this Salvin Plaza has three floors. There are probably tens of thousands of large and small shops. The daily flow of people is more than one million. The security is not very good, and various surveillance cameras cannot capture it. There are also many nooks and crannies. If a pretty little girl didn't come here to play without an adult, and she disappeared today, she might be in a slave market hundreds of light years away tomorrow.

However, if you think about it more carefully, with Gongsun Qing's level of genius, he might just be the kind of person who has a three-year-old psychic ability and awakens a five-year-old star ring evolution. Ordinary human traffickers are simply here to deliver food.

"I also know the antique shop you mentioned! It used to be called Trend's House, but later the old man brought his granddaughter over and changed its name to Trend and Nair's House. Otherwise, I Shall I take you there directly?”

The other party said this, still showing great enthusiasm. Probably to thank Yu Lian for finally bringing him to the formal level.

Yu Lian was very moved, but still rejected the other party without hesitation.

Gongsun Qing once again showed considerable admiration for someone's straightness, and made a promise to "see him on the moon" before leaving.

Yu Lian went directly to the bottom floor of the square, which was also the smallest floor.

Walking here, the lights are slightly dimmed and the flow of people is much less. However, this is understandable. Under the dim light, the signboards of the shops on both sides of the pedestrian path are like will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the shadows, gorgeous and brilliant, but always a little weird.

Those shops are far less popular than the first and second floors upstairs. They are full of old items, paintings, calligraphy, handicrafts and decorations. The shopkeepers here are far less enthusiastic than you above. They rarely come out to greet customers. They are all in their own shops, either painting, sculpting, or cleaning objects. At most, they occasionally raise their heads and give a few laughs to passing customers. Just a smiling face that doesn’t smile.

For a moment, Yu Lian even felt like visiting a ghost market at night.

Of course, it would be more like this if there weren't always one or two taverns with ambiguous lights hidden in the cracks of these antique shops, and there were always some older ladies sitting at the door who were very playful at first sight. .

Walking in the passage of this underground shopping mall, Yu Lian could even hear the sound of the urban express train rumbling to and fro next to it, which immediately added some fireworks to this self-contained underground commercial street.

These subway transportation networks, built before the maturity of light rail technology, provide almost seamless connectivity between urban and out-of-city transportation. You can get on the train at any station and reach any place in the British Isles. Now, these rail trains have been in operation for almost two hundred years and are still running in good condition. It has to be said that the facilities built by the Empire are genuine and honest, at least in terms of durability.

The citizens of Mishima and Wudu are already very accustomed to the "rumbling" sound of rails and trains rubbing against each other. Naturally, the city government will not cancel it in order to save money.

"Don't buy things here. Even if you see something you like, don't show your like expression. In addition, there is no card payment here, and no electronic payment is supported. Only cash is used. Precious metal currencies are the most popular, and they can also be discounted. Here." This was Gongsun Qing's reminder to himself before parting.

Yu Lian was very grateful to the girl for reminding him, but the feeling of once again treating himself as a rookie who had never been beaten by society was still not very pleasant!

Of course, there won't be any good people opening a shop in a place like this, but they certainly won't be doing any evil. Otherwise, we would have gone straight to digging graves. Why would we do business in fake antiques here?

Yu Lian walked for a few more minutes, taking twists and turns between shops, deliberately avoiding the eyes of two people who seemed to be ready to look at his wallet. Then, when passing a fast food truck, he habitually glanced at the food truck, and the words "Nair and Trend Fast Food" were directly introduced to his eyes.

Yu Lian stopped and lightly knocked on the table of the food truck.

A figure bent slightly and emerged from the steaming heat of the food truck. It was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, petite and exquisite, with a ruddy face and a trace of water on her forehead. She is also a very beautiful girl. She is not a stunning beauty, but she is very comfortable, energetic, has a sweet smile, and is full of life.

"Well, please..." The little girl looked at Yu Lian doubtfully and shook her head.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Nair? Mr. Trend's granddaughter?"

The girl was startled for a moment, and then she made a cautious application: "Sorry, we don't buy insurance, and we don't need financing."

Do I look like someone who works in finance? Are there any people working in finance as handsome as me? I really want you to apologize seriously!

"In addition, we do not speculate in stocks or buy futures, let alone sign any gambling agreements."

Although Yu Lian was a little angry, he still managed a little smile.

"If you want to eat, please sit down. We have three ABC set meals to choose from today. Of course, we also have fried chicken and hot dogs for takeaway. A box of fried chicken, a hot dog and double the ice drink only costs 15 yuan."

"...You're frying chicken and grilling hot dogs on the third floor underground, so aren't you worried about the fumes?" Yu Lianqi asked.

"Don't worry, don't worry. You have to believe in the architectural integrity of the empire! The ventilation equipment is very well done, and the garden on the top is a banyan tree cultivated by the first Earl Salvin himself. It is the best in regulating the climate in the universe. It’s a super tree species. It can even purify acid mist and flowing air, not to mention my little bit of oil fume. We can even eat hot pot here without any problem. You’ve been down here for so long, and you don’t feel any difficulty breathing. Feeling right?"

Are there rainbow banyan trees planted in the park on the first floor? Yu Lian was a little surprised. In his memory, the kind of super giant trees cultivated by the Imperial Academy of Sciences can grow hundreds of meters tall if not careful, and the crown of a single tree can form a vast forest, which is very similar to a certain fantasy strategy in the previous life. The main elf city of the game.

However, he had just entered the underground commercial street from the garden, and he had not seen such a towering tree with such a strong presence!

"Count Salvin is very tasteful... he can even be said to be a very paranoid person. He feels that there are huge towering trees in the city, which will affect the beauty of the city. You know, the entire foggy city is actually As his work, no imperfections are allowed. However, in order to adjust the city's climate to the point he wants, rainbow banyan trees are also necessary. So, he simply started cultivating tree species, and it was really He succeeded. The new urban rainbow banyan trees do not grow very high, but the effect is not affected at all."

So, is it really worthy of the obsession of literary youth? Yu Lian sighed. But for a literary youth to have the mobility and technical ability to realize all his whims and whims, that would be a bit scary.

"Guest, I see that you are so interested in Count Salvin! You shouldn't be from the financial circle. After all, most people in the financial circle have little historical appreciation."

Yu Lian felt that this little girl was still too biased against the financial circle, but he was not prepared to correct her. People in that circle deserved to take the blame.

"Then, you must be a distinguished customer who comes to our antique shop! The head of our family once served as the retainer of Count Salvin, haha, so you know! Hahaha~~~"

Facing the little girl's bright eyes, Yu Lian shrugged emotionally: "After listening to your introduction, I would be embarrassed if I didn't buy something from you... But, unfortunately, I I’m here to find someone.”

Nair's smile began to fade, but half of it faded back again, because Yu Lian slightly bent his arms and held a golden imperial dragon between his fingers.

"You can ask." She said with a smile, but after thinking about it, she added: "However, I can't remember those many people. If I don't know them, there's nothing I can do."

"Do you still remember this person?" Yu Lian called up the portrait of "Xia Li" he drew by himself from his personal terminal.

Of course Yu Lian could also show the photos obtained by the Sharing Foundation, but this would be too eye-catching. Anyway, he is quite confident in his painting skills.

Sure enough, the little girl just glanced at it and her eyes shrank slightly. She raised her face again and looked Yu Lian up and down, very rudely.

Yu Lian simply raised his face to let the other party see clearly. Anyway, if you are handsome, you are not afraid of people looking at you.

"Please come with me. Grandpa will know better." She smiled even sweeter.
