Chapter 37 Black Town Four

Black Town.

It was still early, so the two of them naturally didn't rush to roll the sheets now, so they sat in front of the window for a while, and listened to the information Catherine asked about.

When Catherine saw the sheets being replaced with magic to the color she liked, she knew that something had become a tacit agreement between the two... After the mentality changed, she began to feel a little scared again... Catherine wanted to delay it or delay it for a while.

If she hadn't always hesitated, she might have eaten Chen Yan completely! You should know that Chen's defense is even crisper than the shell of an ice cream cone...

Chen Yan cleaned the house well, probably because he had time to build it several times but had no time to live there. He actually had a good set of rooms when he arranged it.

He cleared out the first floor and was ready to be used to grow things. The living area was placed on the second floor. Although living and dining were mixed together, there were only two people, and the space was smaller and more warm. It can also be seen that someone was not ready to separate the room with Catherine from the beginning. The big bed next to the window was pushed to one side, and you could see that the outside was unswervingly turned into a live broadcast. There was a small table and two wooden chairs in front of the window. Now the two were sitting at the table and just saw the sunset falling towards the other side of the mountain.

The dark side of the black town, half submerged by golden mist, was hidden all over, and it looked unique at this moment.

Chen Yan wanted to say, "How come this scene looks familiar?", but when he spoke, he changed to "Did you find out something?" and this sentence that started the topic. The other world looked like the same, and he was not here to study humanities, so why did he care about that?

"Well, there is not much useful news, it is similar to what you said, and the details are a little different..." Catherine said.

In fact, Catherine is very efficient. She skillfully switched herself to a mercenary, and walked around the tavern, casino, and long house, and even the female branch office... using skillful slander to inquire about the news. But the old fried dough sticks who have long been mingled in the town are really concerned about the secret tunnel that has not been explored. What antiques are the most valuable, and who got rich overnight... Such news.

Most people know nothing about the historical background knowledge of castles, authenticity and aristocrats that Catherine wants to know. Although a few people know, they are vague in their words, not knowing whether they are deliberately concealing or not much.

However, when it comes to the "noble heir" who currently lives in the town, everyone scolded each other in unison!

It turned out that although that man had never married for life, he was very romantic and left many illegitimate children to be the heirs of the inheritance. Before he died, he also gave him the identity recognition. Obviously, the guy hoped that these descendants would come back and help him complete the "God-eating Ritual".

Those descendants were almost dead under the "letter recall" of the old housekeeper who left him, and now the one in the town is about the last one.

Someone may ask, since it is so dangerous, why do you still make do with it! Can't you stay away?

Then do you know how difficult it is for a civilian to become a noble in peacetime? It is ten thousand times more difficult than the current eagle dreams, rabbit dreams, etc.! That is really a dream in the daytime! What's more, it's a real aristocrat (compared to the palace aristocrats, it has a fiefdom), and what about the duke!

"That guy is a duke?" Chen Yan was surprised. Do you want to be so awesome? The three kingdoms in the northern part of the Penglin Peninsula are just marquises! They are not yet real aristocrats!

"Because he has a good grandfather, he has been a duke all his life... He is so lucky!" Catherine was full of envy, jealousy and hatred when she said it. This woman had no revolutionary spirit and had always yearned for the corrupt and degenerate life of the nobles. One of her life's dreams was to marry a nobleman and she could ride on the people from now on... Chen Yan was arrogant and blessed.

Legend has it that the grandfather with big shits is either an angel with broken wings... or a hero who saves the world!

But his grandfather was very stylish. After doing a big thing, he actually patted his butt and left. No one was discouraged, and the emperor at that time was so uncomfortable. Later, the country finally found him an illegitimate child, so he threw all the gratitude and rewards to his grandfather into this naughty child! He was entrusted with the territory and was rank as the Duke!

Logically speaking, his status is already the first person under the emperor, so he should be satisfied, but his father is not! When his father grew up, he said that his father was God, and he was the Son of God, and he wanted to live in the sky... His father learned all the knowledge in the empire within three years, saying that there was nothing he pursued here anymore, and he disappeared soon after.

But his dad didn't officially get married either!

Well, let's continue looking... and search, and find an illegitimate child left by his father back then. It's Shi Dake's own feelings. Their family has a tradition of inheriting the illegitimate child...

Then we can match what Chen Yan said next.

Shi Dake might have come into contact with some information left by his father, and left the Principality to build a castle in the wilderness. First, he played wildly for decades. When he couldn't do it, he started digging tunnels everywhere, thinking of becoming a god like crazy... As a result, he turned the entire Principality into its current virtue.

"By the way, you just said that everyone in the town complained about the heir? What did he do? Is it fierce and cruel?" Chen Yan asked curiously. In that game, this heir was the "protagonist", and the plot has been promoted from this person's perspective.

"It's not everyone in the town, but mainly those mercenaries. Speaking of which, the last heir is also a capable person... This family really produces talents!" Catherine also has a complicated expression when she said that. This family has been famous for generations, so no matter how hard it is... It's still very enviable!

It turned out that this last heir guessed that if he didn't want to, he would be dead if he came!

So before he came, he sold all the tax rights of the principality, right of passage, right of military service, right of religious place and other messy rights, all of which were sold! In exchange for a team of elite soldiers and strong support from the church! Many combat nuns and church warriors were sent to Black Town to listen to his call.

This is such a smart person... He sells for the future! Anyway, if he dies, there will be no future.

And the only last heir left in this family. Everyone can accept these legitimate words, and they don’t have to abide by the nonsense of “clearing the territory to inherit” as stated in the letter! He really did what he said, and his body was walking in the tunnel!

This team of soldiers came, not only took over the public security of the Black Town, but also cleaned up all the black market merchants! Now they have to pay taxes no matter what they do, and the mercenaries who want to make a fortune naturally complained. The heirs took out the collected money and hired them to clean up their territory... It was so amazing!

The mercenaries could only curse and work hard for the uncle.

"This family is full of brains!" Catherine commented with emotion.

"By the way, there is another thing that is strange... Gods here are so arrogant! They all ignore mortals, and they never respond to prayers!" Catherine said with a sense of righteous indignation. "What are the release of evil gods, the creation of gods, etc., isn't there something wrong with God? Why are the real people working until now, the church and adventurers, where is God?"

Catherine has also been to the Huancheng several times and has really seen many gods... She thinks that those people are quite friendly (and those people think she is Chen Yan's friend).

Shen Yan is speechless. Do you think that the gods in other worlds are like the swan world? They are like a mother, and all trivial matters are involved? The gods are above all, and it is normal to ignore them. Sister... If there are no gods in the swan world, the rags will be less than half!

"Yes, right..." Catherine suddenly became a little stuttering, her eyes wandering without contact with Chen Yan. "Listen, I heard that going deep into the ground will cause a dark disease. If it is not treated in time, it will go crazy if it becomes deep... Do you know what that is?"

I know, san value is one of the derivative concepts in the Cthulhu system, which marks the rational value of human beings. Once you see the supernatural phenomenon, the san value will drop, and as the san value decreases, you will see more supernatural scenes (the real world?), and when the san value reaches zero, you will go crazy (the awakening of the true self?).

In the game, the san value is replaced with the pressure value. If you go out and take risks, you will increase the pressure value, and you will be crazy when you reach the limit.

"Then, do you know how to treat it? I've been blocking my chest since I came out of the ground..."

Katherine didn't dare to read Chen Yan at all at this moment because she had already found out the treatment methods, which were nothing more than crazy prostitution, gambling, engraving tattoos, overeating, addiction to religion, physical whipping, etc. In short, it's very scientific.

"I know, this disease is easy to treat." Chen Yan left the chair, picked up Catherine, turned around and put it on the bed.

"I'll get healed with one injection!"
