Arcane Universe

Open the carriage door, and an unspeakable smell pours out your nose.

Feng Chou’s black woolen tuxedo, half-height barrel top hat, shiny leather boots, in this narrow and dirty street, are so out of place, so conspicuous, everyone on the street All staring at him.

Some of these eyes are numb, some cringe, some are envious, and some are full of greed.

The carriage turned into another alley, and soon no sound was heard.

Feng Chou stood alone on the incompatible street, looking at the crowd staring at him all around, suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of loneliness, it seems that the people in front of him are not his own kind .

A whistle sounded in front.

Feng Chou took a closer look and saw that under the thatched porch of an adobe house not far away, several youngsters were looking at him smiling hehe.

Feng Chou coldly smiled, walking towards the opponent, he stopped a dozen meters away from the opponent, and reached out his hand, a magic missile hit several youngsters two or three meters in front of him A puddle of sewage, with a violent impact, almost spilled half of the pond’s sewage on several youngsters, and several people were thrown into soup chickens.

“magician!” A legendary noun suddenly appeared in the hearts of the people around. People withdrew their gazes from outsiders, and some clever ghosts had begun to slip away quietly.

Feng Chou stared at the youngsters who were going to tease him and beckoned to them.

Several youngsters looked at each other in blank dismay while wiping off the dirt on their faces with their sleeves, not knowing what to do.

For a moment, they saw that the gentleman was already impatient, and the eldest of the few finally plucked up the courage and walked towards the gentleman.

He stopped three meters away from the gentleman, took off the dirty canvas cap on his head, held it in his hand, and bowed and said: “I’m sorry, sir…”

Feng Chou looked at the young man in front of him. He looked about less than 1.6 meters tall, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a wide, patched gray canvas clothes, and his lower body was of the same color and material. Tattered overalls.

There is obvious black dirt on the boy’s face, his hair is a bit hardened because of his filthyness, and a foul smell permeates his body.

Feng Chou stared at the boy sternly and said: “Take me to Finger Lane, the middle of Finger Lane, and help me find the Chapmans.”

The boy stammered. Said: “Sir, I don’t know where Finger Lane is…”

Feng Chou waved the civilization stick in his hand, fiercely drew it on the boy’s thigh, and said sharply: “Then let you My companion find someone who knows, otherwise I will break your leg and turn you into a toad, a lame toad.”

The boy let out a short scream and was again Feng Chou. His words were scared back, his face flushed with pain, and looked at Feng Chou pitifully and sadly like a kicked puppy. Under Feng Chou’s stern gaze, he turned his head and looked towards his companion, his companion desperately Keep your head down, not making contact with his eyes.

The young man looked at his dead companion, then looked back at Feng Chou, stammered: “Sir, sir, I remembered, I will take you there, please don’t take I became a toad.”

Feng Chou raised his cane, scolded: “Then hurry up and lead the way.”

The young man hurriedly turned and limped towards the depths of the alley. go with.

When Feng Chou is far away, people dare to walk out of the corner.

They looked at the direction Feng Chou was leaving. Some people couldn’t help worrying about the fate of the young man, but more people showed the expression of taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune.

The boy’s several companions discussed for a while, and went into a narrow alley together, and disappeared in silhouette.

The boy took Feng Chou to walk in the narrow and crooked alley for a while, and he was completely lost, but he was not worried. The Universe Pagoda could scan and monitor the surrounding area in a radius of nearly 50 meters. He is not afraid of young people taking him into a trap, even if there is a trap, he will not be afraid of a group of Hooligan who are not even professionals.

Feng Chou is lost, but Universe Pagoda is not. He will remember every place Feng Chou has gone.

Half an hour later, in a slightly wider alley, the boy told Feng Chou that this was Finger Lane.

Feng Chou casually called a dirty child who ran by, threw him a copper, and asked: “What is it called?”

The child catches it. Tongzi, with some surprises, said: “This is Finger Lane, sir.”

He took out another five-pace copper plate and asked the child: “Do you live here?”

The child stared at the copper plate closely and said: “Yes, sir, I live in the Walker apartment in front.”

Feng Chou shook the copper plate, “That You must recognize Mr. Chapman?”

The child hesitated, Feng Chou without the slightest hesitation took out a copper plate, this time the child could not resist the temptation, he said: “I know, their family I live upstairs in my house.”

Feng Chou handed the copper plates to the child and said, “Take me to his house, and I will give you two more copper plates.”

The child happily looked at the two large copper plates in his hands. People here call the five-piston copper plates big copper plates. He said without the slightest hesitation: “Come with me, sir.”

Feng Chou He took out one and a half crowns of Silver Coin and threw it to the boy who led the way. In a pleasant surprise, he followed the child to the deeper part of the alley.

The child took Feng Chou to the front of a brick house that looked decent in this area.

This house is very big, it looks a bit like the factory building that Feng Chou just saw in the northwest district. The door of the house is a double-opened wooden door covered with iron. The door is closed tightly. The child stands on tiptoe and knocks. After knocking, the one-foot-square observation port above the door opened, and an old lady with a chubby face stretched out, and she looked at Feng Chou with some confusion.

The child looked up and said: “Mrs. York, this gentleman is looking for the Chapmans.”

Feng Chou’s decent dress made Mrs. York less alert, she thought for a while , Opened the door.

Feng Chou followed the child into the big house.

The inside of the big house was obviously remodeled. The tall factory building was divided into two floors, and was divided into four parts by the cross-shaped aisle.

Walking into the gate, the vertical aisle is directly opposite. In the middle of this aisle, there is a horizontal aisle that runs through the entire factory building and crosses it.

At the intersection of the vertical and horizontal aisles, there are two stairs leading to the second floor on both sides.

The child took Feng Chou to the second floor and walked into the long and narrow horizontal aisle on the left.

He stopped at the door of a room near the bottom of the aisle, reached out and knocked on them.

People here seem to be very alert. Someone is lying behind the door and looking out from the crack in the door. A woman’s voice asks: “Harvey, who is with you? “

The child said: “A gentleman, he is looking for Mr. Chapman.”

Feng Chou said: “I am looking for Mr. Upton Chapman.”

Feeling the hesitation inside the door, Feng Chou said again: “Don’t worry, I’m not here to trouble you, maybe I can provide you some help, but only if I have to talk to Chapman Mr. Talk.”
