My Endless Life

Crime?

Li Qi heard the quarrel inside and subconsciously glanced at Diya beside him.

Diya looked grim, pursed his lips and looked for a long time before saying to Li Qi:

"There's nothing to see over there, let's go."

"What happened over there?"

Li Qi's mouth replaced, and Ronnie asked Diya on behalf of Li Qi.

Diya looked aside and whispered:

"It's just that someone offended someone."

"Offended someone? Why do I hear someone committing a crime..."

Ronnie looked at Diya meaningfully.

This kid said at the city gate that he would be arrested and imprisoned for a few days at most if he committed a crime.

But listening to the quarrel inside and the young man's terrified screams, you can know that this is definitely not as simple as being arrested and imprisoned for a few days.

This kid is lying!

Perhaps he heard the deep meaning in Ronnie's words, Diya said unconvincedly:

"You will be arrested if you offend someone! I just stole the money of you outsiders, and I haven't succeeded yet! Of course, nothing will happen!"

"What do you mean you will be arrested if you offend someone? Who did you offend? Where will you be arrested?"

Li Qi asked Diya for key information.

Dia closed her mouth and didn't want to answer. Li Qi didn't think about it. He flipped his right hand and another silver coin appeared in his hand and flicked it to Diya.

Dia took the silver coin, but his face was not as happy as before. He looked up at Li Qi and finally said:

"...If you really want to know, then I will go and ask...Wait for me here, I will be back soon."

Dia said, and squeezed towards the crowd.

Li Qi didn't stop him, but said to Ronnie:

"You follow and take a look."

"Yeah!"

Ronnie nodded immediately, followed behind Diya, and mixed into the crowd to find out the situation.

While the two were leaving, Li Qi chatted with the angel:

"How is it, have you sensed the breath of the original relics?"

"Some, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be No. 1, the location is over there."

The angel pointed to the distance.

Looking from this direction, Li Qi can see the center of the royal city, surrounded by walls, with high-rise buildings in the royal palace.

It is also the most magnificent building in the royal capital.

No. 1 is indeed hidden deep in the royal capital, which is also the main reason why the royal family can maintain the human safety zone.

In order to find out the truth of the words of the president of the Light Chasing Society, Li Qi always has to go to the palace to take a look.

I don't know how many masters are hidden in the palace.

Li Qi chatted with the angel for a while, and soon Ronnie and Dia returned to Li Qi.

Dia, who found out what happened over there, said to Li Qi:

"I figured it out, it's a poor guy who accidentally stained a noble's clothes during the day, so he was caught in the 'crime prison'."

"Noble? There are nobles in the royal city?"

Hearing this term, Li Qi frowned.

Because of his past life in Uno, he didn't have a very good impression of nobles. Originally, Li Qi had never met any nobles in this world for so many years. He thought that this class did not exist in this world.

But now it seems that it is not that there are no nobles, but that there are no nobles in the cities near the border.

In the royal city, there are still nobles.

And it seems that they are still bastards.

Li Qi's question did not surprise Dia. In his opinion, Li Qi and other Tanwu families from outside the city are a group of country bumpkins who know nothing. It is not strange that they don't know nobles.

He explained:

"Of course there are nobles in the royal capital. I heard that they are responsible for the stability of the royal capital, but these nobles generally stay in the inner city and rarely appear in the outer city. I don't know how that unlucky guy offended them."

After Dia's explanation, Li Qi learned that there are a total of four noble families in the royal city.

These four noble families help the royal family maintain the order of the royal city.

Dia didn't know much. He didn't even know the names of these families. He only knew that among these four families, one family was responsible for the production of relics and one family was responsible for maintaining the order of the city.

And now the unfortunate guy who was captured was captured by the guards of this family who were responsible for maintaining order.

They were also the guards in the city.

Because they wore black uniforms, people in the outer city liked to call them "black dogs".

"What is the prison of sin?"

After learning a little about the background of the four noble families, Li Qi asked about what Dia had mentioned just now.

Prison of sin.

It sounds like a special prison.

"Prison of sin... That's the place that people from the outer city least want to go to..."

After hesitating for a while, Dia gave his evaluation of the prison of sin.

Then, he told Li Qi about the prison of sin.

...

After Dia's explanation, Li Qi knew the complex structure inside the royal city.

The royal city is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The outer city is outside the walls that Li Qi saw, and the inner city is inside the walls.

Most of the people in the outer city are ordinary people, living with the low-level Tanwu family, and sometimes some residents who migrated from other cities come.

The inner city is where the four nobles and the royal family live. Some important facilities of the kingdom, including the headquarters of the Tanwu Association and the relic production factory, are all within the inner city.

And there is another more important facility that also exists in the inner city.

This facility is the prison.

The kingdom has laws, and this set of laws is common to all cities. Generally, those who violate the laws will be sent to the local prison.

The mild ones will be released after a few days of detention, while the serious ones will be escorted to another place, I don’t know where.

The same is true in the royal city.

Those whose criminal behavior is not serious will be imprisoned in the prison of the law enforcement station.

Those criminals with serious crimes will be sent to prison.

Dia didn't know much about the prison. He only knew that no one who was sent to the prison could come back.

This also includes his brother who originally became the Tanwu family.

Dia's brother was imprisoned because he offended the nobles in the inner city, leaving only him and his old and sick father.

If not, Dia wouldn't have to go out and steal money to treat her father's illness.

"etc……"

After listening to Dia's narration, Li Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at Dia:

"What did you just say?"

Dia was startled by Li Qi's sudden question, but he still repeated what he had just said:

"I...I said I need to steal money to treat my father's illness..."

"How old is your father?"

Seeing that Dia didn't get to the point, Li Qi asked directly.

Dia blinked her eyes, thought for a while and then replied:

"I don't really remember, but... he must be in his forties. After all, my eldest brother is already in his twenties."

"Take me to your house!"

"ah?"

Dia was stunned. Didn't he agree to let him be the tour guide? Why do you suddenly want to go to his house?

"Don't ask so many questions. You won't be short of money. Just take me there."

Li Qi gave Dia another silver coin.

After being able to transform materials, Li Qi no longer cared about the money.

Because as long as he prepares specific materials, he can continuously produce gold and silver coins.

In fact, Li Qi didn't bring any money with him when he went out. The silver coins he gave Dia now were all made through alchemy, so there was no need to worry about consumption.

As long as Dia can fulfill Li Qi's request, he can give her any amount.

Dia didn't quite understand why Li Qi went to his house.

However, Li Qi was generous and didn't let him do anything excessive. He just went to his house for a look, so there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, Dia felt that his family was very poor, and he didn't think there was anything about his family that could attract the other party's attention.

After collecting the silver coins and putting them in his small pocket, Dia led Li Qi and his group towards his home.

Along the way, the people in the slums still looked at Li Qi and his party with either vigilance or curiosity, but after seeing Dia, their expressions disappeared a bit.

It seemed like they knew Dia.

After walking through Baishui Street for a while, near the end of the river and close to the city wall, Li Qi came to Dia's home.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Qi smelled a sour smell.

It was the smell of medicine mixed with the smell of spoiled food, and the smell was dizzying.

Ronnie's expression changed when he smelled the smell, but when he saw Li Qi walking in with a normal expression, he could only follow Li Qi into the room.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the 'old man' lying on the bed next to him, his body as haggard as a mummy, lying there, looking as if he was dead.

But it can be seen from the old man's moving eyes that this 'old man' is not dead yet. He even sensed Li Qi and his party coming in, and opened his eyes to glance at them.

"Dad! I'm back!"

After returning home, Dia shouted to the old man.

The old man coughed a few times, looked away from Li Qi and others, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"You... this brat, did you... go out to steal things again...?"

His words were not very harsh, but he had an indescribable and calm aura, which made Li Qi a little strange.

After all, this kind of momentum doesn't seem like something a poor person would have.

Faced with his father's scolding, Dia didn't care at all. He took out the silver coins he took from Li Qi in front of his father.

Then he took out a locked box from under Dad's bed.

He opened the lock, opened the box, threw the silver coins inside, and then said to his father on the bed:

"...If you don't steal money, how can you afford medicine? And I didn't steal the money this time, it was given to me by this boss here!"

"oh?"

When the skinny old man heard this, he once again turned his attention to Li Qi and his party.

But I don't know if it was Li Qi's illusion. He always felt that he was not looking at himself, but at Ronnie beside him.

After staring at Ronnie for a while, Li Qi finally heard the old man talking to himself:

"...the time is wrong...the people are wrong...what's going on?"

Dad's voice was very soft when he talked to himself, but Li Qiben had excellent hearing, and because of the increase in Qi on his body, he could hear his father's words clearly.

He suddenly realized that it might not be a coincidence that he met Dia as soon as he entered the city.
