My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 127 Children
The Homeward Bound sounded its whistle and sailed into the harbor. The wide anchor chain fell in the captain's hand like a lightweight toy, and the rope was accurately placed on the wooden piles on the dock. The bearded man pulled the huge warship to the shore with just one hand.

He jumped onto the dock and raised his hands to the ordained people on the deck: "Welcome to White Frost City, children!"

The people who were receiving the precepts walked down the bow in confusion.

To them, everything before their eyes was so bizarre, beyond imagination and cognition, and made everyone feel confused.

They don't know what they will face next.

The bearded captain smiled and said, "Congratulations, kids. You arrived here four hours early. This is the time you bought for yourselves... Next, you can use the remaining time to walk around White Frost City and learn as much as possible about this city. This will be beneficial for your subsequent tasks! But remember, you still have to abide by the rules."

Jiang Chen raised his hand: "What rules?"

The bearded man smiled slightly: "You need to find out for yourself. Don't worry, at least now, you are still qualified to make mistakes."

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked away in a casual manner, humming: "I'm going to see my wife... Even though she is fierce and ugly, she is my wife after all."

So, you brought us here and then just walked away without us?

The people taking the precepts looked at each other in astonishment, having no idea what was going on for a moment.

Their eyes finally fell on Jiang Chen.

Whistling softly, Jiang Chen said, "Then just take a walk. My suggestion is that everyone split up and try to understand the rules here during this time. Return to the dock before the mission time is up, and then exchange experiences with each other, especially the rules!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Of course, Jiang Chen also knew that this was almost impossible in reality - in the Chaos Realm, information was a resource, and no one would easily tell others about the valuable information they had obtained. If you were reluctant to pay even 200 yuan, how could you possibly tell others about this valuable information?
In the end it all depends on yourself.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Jiang Chen walked leisurely across the dock.

He once thought that there were mostly various monsters here, but it was not until he came to Baishuang City that Jiang Chen finally confirmed: this is still a city dominated by humans.

People walking on the city streets are dressed in coarse linen clothes. The buildings around them are lined up one after another, full of medieval spires and painted with rich oil colors.

I wonder if it’s the same with the weird road?

But no matter what, Jiang Chen felt that at least he didn't have to worry about Princess Christiana being a Maradon.

The streets of White Frost City are paved with a kind of white stone with a fine anti-slip texture. It looks like a layer of light white mist. This may be the origin of the name of White Frost City.

The streets on both sides are mostly made of white stones, giving the entire city a silvery and shining luster.

The ancient carriage clattered past Jiang Chen.

But when you think this is the Middle Ages, the steam locomotive in the distance shatters this perception.

White steam rose from the huge front of the train, and the long metal door was open, allowing anyone to jump onto the slow-moving vehicle at any time. There was even a beautiful conductor standing at the door, shouting to the outside of the train: "Going to Xiangli Street, anyone want to get on the train? It's only one dollar!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the ticket seller, level 3.

As expected, everyone here has a level.

In this case, level 10 is indeed a bit low?
Well, that’s true, but the highest level of ordination recipients on Blue Star is only level ten.

Or is it as the ghost bride said, "There are differences between levels"?
However, Jiang Chen soon felt something was wrong. He couldn't put it into words, but he just felt like something was missing.

At this moment he came to an intersection. The traffic lights above the intersection were flashing and pedestrians around him were standing obediently beside the zebra crossing.

Everything seems so normal, yet a little abnormal.

Looking around, Jiang Chen finally understood what was wrong.

"No children."

he murmured.

Looking at the street, Jiang Chen did not see a single child.

Why is this happening?

Jiang Chen looked around carefully and noticed a puppet shop not far away.

No kids, but a doll shop?

He walked towards the doll shop.

The puppet shop doesn't have a big storefront, with an old wooden purple door. The window next to it is filled with various puppets, most of which are adult size.

Pushing open the door, Jiang Chen saw that it was a small shop of about 15 square meters. The ceiling of the shop was hung with various wind chimes and colorful ribbons, and the cabinets below were filled with various puppets. In addition, there were some peculiarly shaped black glass bottles, and no one knew what they were used for.

At the end of the shop was a crystal counter, behind which sat a little girl.

This was the youngest girl Jiang Chen saw, at least it looked like that. She looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with two cute pigtails on her head, and she was wearing a purple princess dress, sitting there.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming in, she giggled and said in an old voice that didn't sound like a little girl at all: "Does the guest need to bring a child back for you?"

child……

Looking at the little girl with an old female voice, Jiang Chen said, "I guess you are not a child."

The little girl laughed softly: "Just like you are not either."

"So, there are no children here?" Jiang Chen asked.

The shopkeeper's eyes fell on Jiang Chen's fingers, and then she chuckled: "A newcomer... Interesting, aren't you just a child?"

She looked at Jiang Chen, and her cute face suddenly changed into an extremely old face. There was even a bloody little head sticking out of her mouth like an alien, making a sizzling sound towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen felt a slight chill in his heart.

I go!

So you all look like human beings, but actually you are demons!

But compared to his previous fear, Jiang Chen is no longer afraid of all this.

He smiled: "Do you eat children?"

The old woman's face changed and she looked like a little girl again.

With his eyes of insight, Jiang Chen saw:

"Puppet Master Lolo."

"Level 6."

"Special state: alien and demon fusion."

“Other unknown.”

Alien and demon fusion? What is that?

At this moment, the girl Luo Luo sat there, muttering: "You are not a guest."

"That may not be the case. The key is whether you give me what I need."

"I won't answer any of your questions unless you're willing to pay."

"How much?" Jiang Chen asked casually, pointing to a doll wearing a pink scarf next to him.

"One hundred dollars, no more cash."

Jiang Chen smiled.

He didn't say anything, but just stood there like a casual visitor, waiting slowly.

After a while, a middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady walked into the store. She was wearing a black velvet dress, holding a small umbrella in her hand and a doll in her arms.

She hurried to the shop owner and said, "Lolo, save my child, he is sick!"

Luo Luo sighed helplessly: "What a pity..."

The lady didn't understand what she was regretting. Luo Luo had already taken out a small bottle from the row of black bottles next to her and handed it to her: "Just feed this to it."

"That's great." The middle-aged lady took the bottle and poured it into the puppet's mouth.

The bloody red liquid flowed out of the bottle and fell into the mouth of the rag doll. Jiang Chen was surprised to see that the rag doll actually made a "cough cough" sound.

Then it seemed to come alive and started crying.

The lady patted the doll: "Oh great, baby, I'm glad you're okay!"

Luo Luo said unhappily, "Don't take it outside. It's still too young to withstand the erosion of chaos. Remember, you can only change its diaper three times a day."

"Yes, I remember it." The lady took out a gold coin with a golden palm flower pattern on it from her pocket and placed it in Lolo's hand.

"Thank you very much," she said excitedly.

"You ruined my big business." Holding the money, Luo Luo looked at Jiang Chen helplessly.

Jiang Chen also laughed: "You even cheated the child of his money?"
