My Endless Life

The four of them were walking on the road.

They did not encounter any trouble or accidents during the trip.

They arrived at the capital smoothly in 28 days.

After arriving at the capital, Ronnie felt the prosperity of the city.

Not to mention the previous Rubino City, even the Green Shade City behind is far inferior to the capital of the kingdom in terms of prosperity.

The most intuitive point is that there are a lot of people in the capital, a lot of people.

Even in the most idle time period in Rubino City, there are not many people on the streets.

But the capital is different. As soon as he walked into the city gate, Ronnie saw people all over the street.

Streets, roadsides, bridges between buildings.

People come and go, and the traffic is busy.

Ronnie is really like a bumpkin from the countryside. For a while, he was dazzled by the scenery of the capital.

Compared with him, Li Qi is much calmer.

Li Qi, who has experienced several lives and has been to countless places, in his opinion, the capital of the kingdom just has some alien characteristics.

In terms of prosperity, it is probably not as prosperous as Lankana, the capital of England in the previous life.

Instead of having time to marvel at the scenery of this city, it is better to think carefully about how to enter the palace to find Carol.

As Li Qi was thinking, Ronnie also came back to his senses.

He looked at the eyes of passers-by around him, noticing the curious or mocking eyes in those people's eyes, and couldn't help blushing.

He came to Li Qi and whispered:

"Teacher, where are we going next?"

"Next... um?"

Li Qi was about to answer Ronnie's question.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand in surprise and stretched it aside.

"Ouch!"

A cry of pain sounded, and Ronnie looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Li Qi's gloved left hand tightly grasping a child's arm.

The child was in tattered clothes, with a gray face, and looked like a poor man. He had brown hair and a pair of eyes of the same color as his hair, rolling around.

And the child's arm was close to Li Qi's waist bag.

There is a thief! ?

Ronnie was startled, but the kid had already shouted:

"What are you doing! Let me go! Otherwise I will call the guards!!"

Upon hearing this, Ronnie laughed angrily, and said bluntly: "Call the guards? You are a thief and call the guards? Aren't you afraid that the guards will take you to jail?"

"Hmph! Countryman, what do you know! I am only twelve years old this year. Even if I am caught, I will only be locked up for a few days. But you guys..."

The little guy's eyes swept over Li Qi and others, and he raised his head and said:

"You can tell that you are from other places at a glance. Be careful that the guards will take you away as criminals!"

Ronnie was startled when he heard the little guy's words.

Li Qi noticed something and asked the little boy:

"Do you mean that the guards here will take away outsiders for no reason and make them criminals?"

He looked at the city gate guards not far away.

There were many people here, and the guards didn't notice this place for a while, but Li Qi still felt it. Since entering the city, there was indeed a gaze on them.

This means that someone is staring at them.

Maybe this is the guard the child said?

Li Qi's question seemed normal, but the child shut up after hearing it, hesitating for a long time before saying:

"... I didn't say that, anyway... anyway, you have to let me go! Otherwise... otherwise I..."

"If we are the Tanwu family, will they also take us away?"

Li Qi continued to ask, and hung the badge of the Tanwu family on his body while talking.

Ronnie just thought of this when he saw this, and hurriedly took out his Tanwu family badge and put it in the open.

When the two took out the badge of the Tanwu family, the feeling of being watched that Li Qi felt disappeared.

The child's expression also became very exciting in an instant:

"You... you are actually the Tanwu family?! Damn... I knew that someone else would steal it..."

The child muttered to himself unwillingly.

Li Qi narrowed his eyes when he heard this:

"You don't seem to be afraid at all?"

This child was stealing openly in the city. If he did this to an ordinary person, it would be fine. When he knew that the person he stole from was from the Tanwu family, the child did not feel any fear.

The Tanwu family is obviously a privileged class in this world. When a child of such a privileged class was offended, his reaction was very calm.

"Why should I be afraid? The Tanwu family cannot attack ordinary people. Isn't this common sense? But don't be complacent. Sooner or later, I will become a member of the Tanwu family!"

The child raised his head.

Li Qi stared at him for a while, temporarily suppressed his doubts, let go of the child's hand, and said to him:

"A petty thief can't become a member of the Tanwu family, but..."

As he said this, he took out the common currency of this kingdom from his pocket and shook it in front of the child:

"If you are willing to be my tour guide and use your ability to make money for yourself, then maybe you can still become a member of the Tanwu family."

"!"

Seeing Li Qi take money out of his pocket, the child's eyes immediately lit up a little.

He jumped up and tried to take the money from Li Qi's palm, but Li Qi was faster and closed his palm before the child touched his palm.

The child looked at Li Qi's hand holding the money eagerly, and finally met Li Qi's eyes and asked:

"Are you sure you will give me money if I act as your tour guide?"

Li Qi did not answer, but flicked his finger, and a coin bounced into the air and fell towards the child.

The child hurriedly caught the silver coin, and then heard Li Qi say:

"This is a deposit."

The child blew on the silver coin, and after listening to the sound on it, he soon showed a flattering smile. He bowed to Li Qi and said respectfully:

"No problem, then I, the know-it-all of this city, the gold medal tour guide Diya, will lead the way for you!"

"Know-it-all? Gold medal tour guide? You??"

Ronnie stared at the little kid who seemed to be not even as high as his chest, with a face full of suspicion.

Diya was choked and glared at Ronnie:

"I said yes, what are you dissatisfied with?"

It was Li Qi who gave the money. Ronnie was obviously Li Qi's follower, so the little kid would have this attitude towards him.

Li Qi didn't care about the child's attitude. He took out another silver coin like a magic trick, and the silver coin turned between his fingers, suddenly disappearing and suddenly disappearing.

Then he said to Dia:

"Talk less, do more, take us away."

"Okay! Where are you going, boss? Just tell me, as long as I know, I promise to take you there!"

"Really? Then take us to the palace."

Li Qi's request made Dia's smile freeze, his eyes became erratic, and even the silver coins in his hand felt a little hot.

"Going to the palace... this is a bit..."

Seeing that Dia was retreating and wanted to "abscond with the money", Li Qi felt funny and changed his tone:

"Just kidding, let's go to the poorest place here first, I want to go and see."

In the end, Li Qi chose to go to the slums of the royal city first.

...

A prosperous city, or a prosperous city under the feudal system, must have poor places.

Even Rubino City or Green Shade City has similar places.

As the largest city in the world, the capital of the kingdom is the same.

Li Qi chose the slums as his first stop when he came to the royal capital.

Diya didn't quite understand Li Qi's choice, but Li Qi gave him money, so he was the boss.

He would definitely try his best to fulfill the boss's request.

"If you want to say, the poorest place in the city is Baishui Street."

Diya led the way in front and introduced it to Li Qi and Ronnie:

"I was born and raised there, and I am very familiar with it. Let me make it clear first, it is not a good place. Although you are from the Tanwu family, it is easy to be cheated if you go there."

After he finished speaking, he proudly puffed his chest and said:

"But with this uncle here, I will definitely keep you safe."

Diya was bragging there, and Li Qi and Ronnie didn't say anything.

They were observing the scenery along the way.

The closer they walked to the Baishui Street that Diya mentioned, the older the buildings on both sides of the street became.

Gradually, the air began to be filled with some unpleasant smells, and garbage or excrement thrown on the ground by people were also seen on the roadside.

The progress of civilization was gradually regressing, until Baishui Street, it completely became the medieval city in Li Qi's impression.

Dirty, messy, and poor, that was Li Qi's impression of Baishui Street.

And Li Qi also understood why Baishui Street was called Baishui Street.

Next to this street, there is a river flowing downwards, and upstream of this river is a special building built on a high place.

The building is blocked by a wall, and you can't see what's inside, but white water always flows from the drain below.

These white waters flow into the river next to Baishui Street from above, turning the entire river white.

White is not pure, and there are many strange and disgusting colors mixed in it.

But only white is the most conspicuous.

This may be the origin of the name of Baishui Street.

"What's that over there?"

Looking at the unique building built on a high place along the water flow, Li Qi asked Dia.

Dia looked back and said casually:

"Oh, that's the relic factory in Wangcheng. Most of the relics used by you country folk are produced here."

The building on the high ground turned out to be a relic factory.

Ronnie was a little surprised after hearing this.

Li Qi didn't have any special reaction. After hearing what Dia said, he retracted his gaze and looked at the front of Baishui Street, saying to Dia:

"Keep leading the way."

"No problem! Boss, please go this way!"

Dia made a gesture of invitation and led Li Qi inside.

He didn't know the purpose of Li Qi's coming to Baishui Street, which was not important to him. All Dia wanted was the silver coins in Li Qi's hand. Apart from this, he didn't care about anything else.

Li Qi continued to follow Dia and looked at the people in the surrounding slums.

He was looking for old faces, but so far, Li Qi had never seen anyone over 40 years old.

The people on the roadside who cast their eyes here were either young and middle-aged people or children who looked about the same age as Dia.

Li Qi was still observing, but suddenly they heard a noise in the distance.

Following the noise, Li Qi and his friends saw a group of people gathered together, and there was constant quarreling in the middle of the crowd.

"Let me go!! I didn't commit a crime! I didn't commit a crime!! Let me go!!"

A young man screamed, and a group of guards in black uniforms pulled him out.
