Chapter 210 Visiting the cemetery at night
Didn't find a rental carriage at the street corner, Miss Luisa brought She walked two streets with Shade, and then suddenly turned into an unnoticeable alley beside the road. After walking a distance in the alley, she actually took out the key and opened the door of one of the families in the alley.

“Shade, we can’t have just one hiding place, can we?”

She smiled at Shade as she pushed open the door:
“I bet Anat, Augustus priest and The doctor also has a similar second hiding place, which can also be used to hide sensitive items that are not commonly used."

This "safe house"-like house is not rented, but Luysha The lady bought it at a low price through family connections. Although the price is reasonable, the living conditions here are very poor. Miss Luysha did not regard it as her own house, but as a temporary warehouse.

According to her, Shade was the second person to know about the location besides herself.

“Should I be honored?”

After entering the low-rise house, Shade asked while examining the interiors disguised as ordinary poor families. Miss Luyisa had already entered the small basement under the house through the trapdoor under the bed. Aside from the trapdoor, the basement has a small opening to crawl into the city's sewers, but she won't use it lightly.

It's not because I'm worried about the secret passage being discovered, but because the stench is unbearable.

The voice from the underground was a little dull:

"You not only told me your secrets, you even lent me the valuable [Youth Blessed Leaf], Is there anything I can't tell you? So far apart from Lecia, Shade, you are the person I trust the most."

As she spoke, she crawled out from under the trapdoor and handed it to Shade A set of very thick black robes and a mask:
"There may be danger in a while, we'd better be cautious."

After speaking, he also changed into the robe. In order to tuck all of Golden's long hair into the hood, he stretched out his hand to tie it.

As Miss Luisa tidied up her collar and was about to put on her hood, Shade noticed that she had caught the leaf with a silver clip and hung it around her neck. Shade's leaves are tucked into the pocket watch cover, and although he doesn't use a pocket watch now, it's a nice decoration.

Leaving Miss Luisa's safehouse, they walked another block east on foot before finding a free rental carriage at the intersection. The two of them were dressed in robes and hoods quite strangely, but the driver just hesitated for a moment, explaining that he would not leave the urban area or go to remote places, so he let them get on the bus.

It seems that those who dare to solicit business at night have some extraordinary insights.

The carriage traveled in the quiet night for nearly an hour to the northern edge of the town of Tobesque. Then Miss Luyisa took Shade along the crooked road, through the densely packed low-rise huts and double-storey houses on the outskirts of the city, stepping on the mud and smelling all kinds of weird smells, constantly moving away from Proceed in the direction of the city.

There are no gas street lights, not even many candles.

This is a village on the northern outskirts of the city, a temporary residence for the huge foreign population attracted by this foggy city. In the steam industrial revolution of this world, Early-Stage, originally only some poor people lived here temporarily, but later a settlement of such a size was gradually formed, which became an alternative village attached to the periphery of the city.

However, this is only the case in the North City. Not only because the North City is the lower city in the traditional sense, but also because the vast plains to the north of the city are the best agricultural areas and pastures in the Tobeysk region.

Manpower is always needed here. The open plains in the north of the city and the suburban villages and towns between the city seem to exist naturally for this prosperous steam city.

Dodging the drunk man who was leaning against the mud wall and vomiting, bypassing the boy who was urinating in front of his own house, and using his eyes to intimidate the black wolf dog who wanted to growl at strangers, Shade followed Luye. Behind Miss Sha, she walked through a small suburban village that seemed to be two centuries behind the city.

The villages also don't have exact edges, just the sparse houses that mean they're moving away from human settlements.

In the distance is a small forest. It only took less than five minutes to follow the forest path through the woodland, and then a gravel path appeared in front of it. After walking a few hundred steps, I finally saw the destination of this trip, a cemetery in the northern suburbs of the city.

This does not belong to the urban public cemetery. The urban public cemetery is under the unified jurisdiction of the [Nature and Evil Thought Church] and the City Hall. Mr. Anlus, Shade's boss, can almost get this leisure errand.

This is for people who live in or outside the city but are not eligible to be buried in a public cemetery.

While Tobesque Public Cemetery graves are cheap, there will always be people in this world who can't pay that price. As a result, some cemeteries have appeared in the suburbs where the poor can be buried. As for safety and the environment, it is not something that the poor can consider.

There is no fog like in the city on the outskirts of the city. The cemetery located on the edge of the forest is very clear under the rays of light in March, and it can even be said to be a little mysterious.

Miss Luyesha slowed down, walked side by side with Shade, and whispered to him:
"The one we want to visit is usually called Copps. Sir, this is the largest provider of corpse-like materials in the Tobesque region. But this man is the cemetery keeper here and has a very eccentric temper. Whether a regular customer or not, any ring warlock enters the cemetery area he manages after the sun goes down , will be treated unkindly by him, but he only receives guests after the sun goes down. So follow me for a while, don't use Silvermoon's Mystic Art, I will deal with any danger."

"Is he an illegal figure?"

Shade whispered again, and the sound of the shoe stepping on the dead branches on the gravel path seemed to travel far away.

"Although this person is a bit eccentric, he usually hides in the cemetery to do his own research, and any arrest warrant from the Church of the Righteous God is not right with him. And he is not good at night visitors.

Most of the unkindness of people is just a warning."

Goldilocks replies.

"So where did the corpse material come from? No way"

Shade pointed quietly forward.

"At least it wasn't dug up in this cemetery. No gravekeeper would be stupid enough to steal the body from the place under his jurisdiction. As for where it came from. Detective, I can't answer this question."

p>

"Detective" is used instead of "Shade" because the two are approaching the cemetery.

Shade closed his mouth and silently followed behind Miss Luysha.

He understands the source of corpse-like material, which is impossible and legitimate in the era when this order was established. As for stealing, buying, or other means, he couldn't guess, and he couldn't guess at all, so he simply didn't bother.
