  Chapter 220 219. You are such a good person.In   the cheap restaurant near Drizzt Detective Agency .

The positioning of these restaurants is actually a bit awkward, because the real poor, those who earn only enough money to feed themselves, will not come to the restaurant for consumption.

And rich people look down on restaurants of this kind.

There is only Drizzt, and a small number of people between the rich and the poor will come to such restaurants to solve their stomach problems.

It feels like a person standing and drinking while wearing a long gown.

"The taste is okay."

In front of Lu Yi, there is a big bowl of Yangchun noodles, with very little meat froth and a little oily flower inside. That's it. It costs ten dollars. According to Drizzt, an ordinary rickshaw driver can earn fifty dollars a day, and he cannot afford it.

"It's delicious!"

Xia also had the same noodles in front of her. She ate faster. Lu Yi had just settled for a half, and she drank even the soup.

"Mr. Drizzt, you are such a good person."

Xia thanked each other seriously.

"It’s okay, it’s okay."

Drizzt hit haha, he moved a little bit, obstructing the restaurant’s price list, and quietly placed the menu on The table next door is hidden.

Instinctively tell Drizzt that it is better not to tell them that this is the cheapest thing here.

"Wait a minute, I'm a little curious, these noodles are made of wheat."

Lu Yi sucked the noodles, suddenly a little insect PTSD.

"Otherwise?"

Drizzt didn't know why.

"Even if it's an insect, it's so delicious, it shouldn't matter."

Xia said from the side.

"Insect?"

Drizzt looked at the girl next to her and thought she was having a hard time.

After eating the noodles, Lu Yi feels very satisfied. He is a contented and happy person.

"Shall we go to the publishing house first?"

Drizzt asked again.

"No problem!"

The publishing house is also on the other side of the city on the fourth ring road.

"This is also the fourth ring road, and there are differences between different areas. I live in the middle of the fourth ring road. The east side of the fourth ring road is the worst. There is a gang's headquarters over there. , The location of the publishing house is the best in the fourth ring."

Drizzt explained.

"Then why isn't the publishing house directly located in the wealthy area of ​​Third Ring Road?"

Xia asked curiously.

"Because publishing houses are not all rich people, like those responsible for distributing newspapers, as well as cleaning, printing, and printing, they are all ordinary persons, and some of the editors are outside the fourth ring Born, mainly for work."

Drizzt said as it should be by rights.

"What about the servants of those rich people?"

Lu Yi asked curiously.

"They all live in rich people’s homes, and it’s rare to go home once a year, hehe, to be honest, some servants already feel that they are inside the third ring and look down on people who live outside. But who knows, if these people make a mistake, they might be directly interrupted and thrown into the wilderness to feed the monsters."

Drizzt sighed.

The gap between the rich and the poor in the abandoned city has a distinct sense of hierarchy, which is available in all classes, but each class is extremely fixed, and class leaping is rare. After all, people who live in Shihuan even have a book. Can't read, don't know words, can't start from scratch at all.

The three came to the publishing house soon.

This building is already considered magnificent on the Fourth Ring Road, but there are not many people coming and going. Drizzt walked into the lobby and saw the woman wearing a cheongsam at the front desk reading the newspaper, and he said hello.

"I'm looking for money to edit."

"Have you made an appointment before?"

The woman apparently met Drizzt before, and her tone was a bit arrogant. , His gaze only stayed on Drizzt for a moment, then paused for another second on Xia's face, and finally fell on Lu Yi's face.

"Cough cough, let me contact the editor Qian."

She picked up the phone, turned the roulette, and called upstairs.

After a while, the front desk laughed.

"Please go upstairs, the editorial office is on the third floor."

At the end, she took another look at Lu Yi, a dog that had been hungry for several days saw Feeling like flesh and bones, Lu Yi felt that the word "Danger" might pop up on her head.

Take the stairs to the third floor, it seems a bit noisy here.

Various magazines, books, and newspapers are piled up, and everyone’s desk is full, obscuring the view.

I walked all the way, only to see the editors flipping through the magazines in their hands, not as if they were working.

"Old money."

Drizzt came to a table and knocked on the table.

The editor who is reading the novel lifts the head, his eyes are still a bit trance.

"Old Cui, why, did you agree to do this for me?"

He stood up and put down the book in his hand. Lu Yi saw that it was a novel , The name is "The Village of the Rat Man", which is also the work of the ancient capital.

The editor is of medium build and looks a little greasy with glasses.

"Yes, my assistants and I are ready to take on your commission and find that one."

Drizzt at a moderate pace.

"Shhh, come with me."

Editor Qian brought three people to a small Conference Hall, which seemed to be the place for the editor and the author to communicate, and he went out He took some documents back, closed the door, confirmed it, and spoke.

"This matter is very important to us, Lao Cui, Gudu's new books will definitely sell well. This can bring our publishing house's income to a higher level, but why did he disappear?"

Editor Qian said annoyedly.

"I know that he often messes with some women, and I also know that something will happen, but why did you pick it at this time, alas, Lao Cui, you must help me, help the publishing house, As long as you can find the remaining manuscripts, it doesn't matter if the ancient capital lacks arms or legs, it doesn't matter if he is dead, as long as you can get the remaining manuscripts back." Sia slightly frowned and asked.

"You don't care about his life and death, as long as the remaining manuscripts of the novel?"

"No, no, no, of course I care. If he hasn't finished the novel yet, even I have to let him come back to life if I die, and I care about him."

Editor Qian's expression was inexplicably hideous.

Drizzt winked, and did not let Xia continue to struggle with the question, but asked.

"Old Qian, can you show us the manuscript of the novel? After all, this involves his disappearance, so I think there may be clues in the content of his manuscript."

Listen When Drizzt arrived, Editor Qian suddenly became vigilant, for fear that these three were spies from other publishing houses, and wanted to come and spy on the secrets of the new works of the ancient capital.

You must know that this thing in novels, especially horror novels, is actually a creative thing in many cases. If the creativity is taken away first, then the story will lose its freshness, and the ancient capital The most powerful thing is creativity, every time I can think of a unique story.

He took a deep look at Drizzt, then spoke slowly.

"You guys wait for me."

He went out again and took back a stack of manuscript paper.

"Only read here."

said editor Qian.

The three of them took the manuscript paper, and Lu Yi immediately saw that the name of this unfinished novel was "Mouth of the Madman".

The story begins with the disappearance of a novelist.
