A young commoner held the hand of a veiled woman in a purple qipao as they walked out of Loen Town. They didn't follow the official road that was crowded with vehicles. Instead, they went straight to the dense forest in the nearby wilderness and traversed through it.
There were many ferocious beasts such as wild wolves, snakes, and pigs in the wilderness, so civilians did not dare to approach. However, there was a transport trail in the dense forest. This was a shortcut opened by the caravan in a hurry. When the caravan passed through this place, they would often hire some retired soldiers or adventurers who had explored the radiation zone as guards. After all, in this dense forest, in addition to the wild wolves and hungry tigers, it was said that there were also robbers and bandits, and there were even some dark cultists who made people tremble with fear. They were doing secret and evil experiments here.
Dean took Aisha along the caravan trail.
Rustle!
On the way, a few robbers wearing green grass clothes suddenly jumped out of the grass and blocked Dean's way with knives.
"Haha, boss, boss, we met a fat sheep in the first time we came out!"
"Stutter, don't talk so much. You're losing your momentum."
"Humph, you two dare to come here. You're simply courting death. Boy, hurry up and …"
The robbers hadn't finished their opening lines when Dean's figure suddenly sped up. He waved his wrist and the bell jingled.
Seeing him rushing towards them like a gust of wind, the bandits were immediately dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.
Dean and Aisha jumped at the same time and flew over the heads of the robbers. They jumped to a height of more than ten meters and fell behind the robbers. They continued to run without looking back.
The robbers looked back and saw that Dean and Aisha had run far away. They could only see their backs in the distance.
"Boss …"
"Have you ever seen a person who can jump to the top of a tree?"
"Boss, I, I want to go back and be a good person …"
Dean walked along the dense forest. Along the way, he met a hungry tiger, but he easily killed it. Ten minutes later, he left the dense forest and came to a village. Then he went straight through the outskirts of the village and rushed to the residence of the next Dean through the nearest road.
Padri Commercial Street was one of the four great economic centers of the business district. There were all kinds of large-scale trade markets, as well as various kinds of entertainment industries. Among them, the most profitable place was undoubtedly the largest casino in Padri Commercial Street.
There was a square outside the Vero Casino. The main purpose of this square was not to hold a prayer ceremony for the Holy Church or to set up sculptures to worship the ancestors and gods. It was for the rich and nobles who came to the Vero Casino to park their carriages. The square was full of carriages all year round. There were all kinds of carriages and the badges and flags of various noble families.
At this moment, in a luxurious room on the top floor of Vero Casino, seven or eight blonde and fair-skinned nobles sat around a round table. This was a top-notch room for nobles. The minimum amount of chips in the casino was equivalent to fifty years of savings for an ordinary family.
There were fruit juices, champagne, food and so on next to the gambling table.
Aikeny spun the chips in his hand. After a while, he sighed and got up to leave the table. He patted the knight behind him on the shoulder. "Come play for me," he said. "I need to get some luck."
The knight respectfully replied: "Yes." It wasn't the first time he encountered such a situation. Usually when Aiconi lost a lot he would let the knight replace him to play for a few rounds.
Aikeny didn't watch from the side but went to the rest area of the box. From here he could overlook most of the scenery outside the casino. The bustling streets were bustling with pedestrians and there were countless luxury carriages parked in the distance. Such a beautiful scene could only be seen in the bustling cities of the inner wall. But the cost of living in the bustling cities of the inner wall was too expensive. Even a noble like Aikeny would feel distressed at the expense of living in such a bustling city.
He gently tasted the red wine. Although he had lost a lot today it didn't affect his mood. He was in a good mood ever since he came to the outer wall. The barren, backward and dirty area was far cleaner and richer than he had imagined. It gave him a big surprise.
He even felt that it wasn't a bad thing to live here in his later years. It was better to be treated as a 'lord' by a group of untouchables than to be despised by a group of real nobles.
"Sir, this is snow mountain truffle. It is very expensive. You can't find it in the inner wall. You can try it." Another knight pointed to a plate of food on the table and recommended it to Aiconi.
Aiconi looked at it and scooped a little with a spoon. He felt that the taste was soft and sweet. It was extremely refreshing and delicious. He couldn't help but praise: "The people of the outer wall are better at enjoying food than us."
The knight smiled: "This is the food that the nobles of the outer wall are entitled to enjoy. These nobles have learned our etiquette education so they know how to enjoy food."
Aiconi looked at him: "Everything here is good but there is one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable. Do you know what it is?"
The knight bowed his head: "This subordinate doesn't dare to speculate."
"It's them." Aiconi's tone was obviously directed at the people around the other side of the box: "I feel disgusted when I see the untouchables have the same blonde hair as me."
The knight immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said, "Your subordinate understands."
"Untouchables will always be untouchables. Even if they are mixed-blood untouchables they will have the same blood flowing in their veins." Aiconi coldly said: "This is something that can't be changed. It's like the barbarians outside the borders. Even if they kidnap civilians to give birth to their children they will still give birth to uncivilized bastards."
The attendant broke out in a cold sweat. He lowered his head and said, "Sir is right."
Aiconi glanced at the blonde youth on the other side of the table: "What are you looking at?"
The blonde youth quickly replied: "Nothing. I think I heard wrong." He turned back to the table and no longer cared about the things that had nothing to do with him.
Aiconi finished the truffle and looked outside. Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "The Camilla family has invited us for lunch. Let's get ready to go."
"Yes." The knight acknowledged respectfully and went to the side of the table. He called for the knight who had replaced Aiconi to get ready to leave.
A fat middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table saw that Aiconi was about to leave and hurriedly got up: "Mister Aiconi, are you going back so early? Why don't you play a little longer? If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. "
"No need," Aiconi said indifferently. "I have an invitation for lunch. I'm going."
The middle-aged man understood and smiled: "Then I won't hold you back. Have a safe trip, come back next time." He reached out to hold Aiconi's hand and sent him to the door.
"You can continue playing." Aiconi let go of his hand and left with the two knights. When the door to the box closed, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. After wiping them clean one by one, he crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and threw it into the rubbish bin in the corridor.
Soon, the three of them left the Grand Casino and arrived at the carriage in the square.
The two knights escorted him into the carriage. Aiconi's pupils shrank as soon as he entered the carriage. He saw two figures sitting silently in the spacious carriage, a man and a woman, silent like two ghosts.
