Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Peroz nodded, "This is a simple matter."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to the clothes that Hesper had just drawn.

The fabric on the legs of her short-sleeved shirt and shorts began to grow, and the color of her clothes also changed.

Soon, a piece of clothing that was very similar to the one in Hespel's drawing appeared on her.

It's not just the style and color, but Peroz also faintly exudes a special scent of green wheat.

"This dress..." Hesper and Hogot looked at Peroz in surprise.

"This is a gift from my boyfriend and future husband." Peroz touched his clothes but did not look very happy.

For her, who loves adventure, having such a piece of clothing is very convenient.

Not only can this dress change into whatever shape she wants at any time, the material is also very tough and has a strong protective effect. It can also repel some tiny insect-like creatures.

but...

Although this dress was given to her, she is not the only one who can control the changes of the dress.

Both Charles and Theresa have the authority to change the appearance of their clothes.

Therefore, she would never choose to wear this when she is at home.

She didn't want to go to the study to find Charles like before, and her clothes spontaneously turned into a takeaway look, so that the other party could eat a lot.

"It's really a convenient piece of clothing." Hogot sighed.

"Sometimes it's too convenient." Peroz twisted his body and kept looking at his clothes. Then he asked Hesper, "How does this dress compare to the clothes of ordinary people here?"

"Normally, no one should suspect..." Although the clothes are not exactly the same style as here, most people here make their own clothes, and they are not products of an assembly line. Only identical clothes will arouse people's suspicion.

"Then... Mr. Hogot, you stay here and learn how to make clothes with Hesper. I'll go out and investigate."

"We need to know more about this city, the holy cloth, and the stairs."

Hogot hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

He still had great faith in Peroz's skills.

Especially in this place where everyone has lost their power.

As the heir of the Krolov family, she has profound attainments in bows and arrows, guns, daggers, mountaineering picks, etc.

If she had super powers, she could kill hundreds of him by herself. Without super powers and with the same weapons, hundreds of him would be a bit exaggerated.

A few or even dozens is still possible.

After all, he is not really good at fighting.

"Eh? Is this sister going out alone?"

"Even if the clothes are the same, people might still be suspicious."

"How about we teach this old man how to make clothes first, and then I'll go out with my elder sister." Hesper said kindly.

Although there is no order in this city, there are some established rules.

It would be easy for someone who just arrived here to be exposed if they rushed in.

After all, there are not many people in the Lost City, only less than 10,000 people.

Most people are active in their own small circles. It is very suspicious for an outsider who suddenly appears and asks them for information.

"This is a bit troublesome and very dangerous. There's no reason for you to help us." If everything is really as Hesper said. If her and Hogot's identities are exposed, then not only them, but also Hesper, who has had the longest contact with them, will be in danger.

He was just leaking the information to them temporarily, and he would not take the initiative to tell others that they were staying here, so he would not be in danger.

And if he took the initiative to go out with her and she was exposed, Hesper's face would also be remembered.

"A real man is not afraid of danger and trouble. Besides...what reason do you need to help others?" Hesper looked at Peroz strangely.

Peroz, who was about to say something, met the other person's gaze, saw his sunny smile, and nodded as if possessed.

"Where should we go first?" she asked.

Hesper scratched his head, and for a moment he didn't know where to recommend to Peroz.

After a long time, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind.

"There's a place that might be able to help you find out the information you want to know."

"Where?"

"The chess and card hall in the city center."

"That place is considered the most lively place in the Lost City."

"Because of the abundance of food and clothing and the unique nature of Guixu, there are few entertainment options here. A man called the High Priest invented chess and mahjong, which are very popular props."

"A long time ago, someone made the first mahjong set out of stone, and then chess and card games came into being. To encourage more people to join the game and make life less boring, chess and card houses are free."

"The uncle from the house next door often comes home for three to five days with a big bag of green wheat bread. Occasionally I go in there to play Gobang or something, but because it's too noisy, I stopped going after a few times."

"Compared to that place, I prefer the library. Legend has it that there are many books brought in by foreign explorers. At the same time, many people also wrote about their own experiences and stories about themselves."

"But I'm not qualified to enter there. If I want to enter there, I need to join the Lost City Book Committee."

"The requirement to join the Library Committee is to provide a book that isn't included. This kind of book is easy for explorers, but it's a bit difficult for us. After all, according to them, if we want to get in, we can only rely on our imagination to weave a chivalric novel that will be approved by the committee."

"But it's very difficult to acquire knowledge in this city... Apart from what our parents teach us, we only have the opportunity to learn some incomplete knowledge from some people when they are bored and want to do something." Hesper was feeling a little depressed.

"Do you like reading? This is really a good habit. Can you read?" Hogot asked curiously.

Hesper nodded. "I've taken some classes, and I know the basic characters. But sometimes I can't recognize them all, so I can only guess."

"I see... Later, while you and Perozzi go to the chess and card room, I'll sort out some manuscript ideas and try to write a few chivalric novels."

"By the way, Hesper, what materials are used to make books in your library? Paper, cloth, or something else?"

Hesper pointed to the green wheat outside. "The paper is made from green wheat, and the pen is usually charcoal or blood."

Wow, this green wheat can do everything. It can make food, clothes, and paper...

Hogot looked at the green wheat behind him with a somewhat subtle expression. He really wanted to know how much use the green wheat had here...

-

Chapter 348 Chapter 18 Unexpected Gains?

While Hogot was marveling at the usefulness of green wheat, Peroz followed Hespel out of his house and headed towards the place Hespel had mentioned before.

The Lost City is more like a tribe consisting of a collection of messy houses than a city.

The scattered and completely disorderly houses and the almost non-existent roads made it take her a long time to walk from Hespel's house to the chess and card house.

"Is there no one who does any layout planning for the houses here?" After climbing over a family's roof via the stairs, Peroz couldn't help but complain while looking at the chess and card room surrounded in the middle.

She had thought that this place would be different from the city she knew.

But I didn't expect there would be such a big difference.

As the most popular place in the city, the chess and card house is so popular that houses are built around it.

It was so cruel that not even a small path was left. Apart from the residents of the surrounding houses, outsiders who wanted to play chess or cards inside had to either climb over the wall or walk on the roof.

This house layout is worse than dog shit and Peroz couldn't help but complain.

"Because most people can stay in their own houses for their entire lives. Without considering the problem of food and drink, and with no way out, who would have the mood to do something futile in such a place?" A voice sounded behind Peroz.

Peroz's body stiffened, and he put his hands on his waist and turned to look at the person behind him.

He was a slovenly man sitting in the corner, looking like a homeless person.

"Don't be too nervous." The man slowly stood up, squinting his eyes and constantly looking at Peroz. "This place is one of the safest places in this city."

"Because this is one of the few places in the city where people can relax, no one wants anything to happen here that will affect their mood."

"Who are you?" Peroz asked in a low voice.

"Do you have any wine?" The other party did not answer, but continued to look at Peroz.

After hesitating for a moment, Peroz nodded and said, "Not only is there wine, but there are also guns and bullets."

"Wow, that's a dangerous thing!" the other person said with a boastful expression. "With this thing, you can be the king of this city. That is, as long as you don't get shot or shot by someone else."

"But that thing is of no use to me. All I want is wine."

"The wine made from green wheat is really awful. I really want to drink some normal alcohol."

"Give me some of that, and I can tell you everything you want to know." "I think you must be very curious about this place?" The tramp staggered to Peroz.

"Deal, but before that you have to tell me how you found out I was an outsider." Peroz asked in a low voice.

She thought she had made preparations before coming here, but she didn't expect to be discovered by others as soon as she arrived.

"Because I know everyone here. I've met all of the less than ten thousand people here and there, and you... I'm seeing you for the first time today." As he spoke, he took out the wine gourd-like thing from his waist and drank a mouthful of green juice.

"Have you been here for a long time?" Peroz continued.

But this time the other party did not answer her question, but just looked at Peroz with a smile.

"Let's find a quiet place." Peroz said calmly.

She didn't know what conspiracy the person in front of her had in mind, and she didn't want to know.

She just needed to know that the other party had the information she wanted to know.

If you can seal the deal with some alcohol, that's great.

If the other party refuses to accept her toast, she will let the other party know that she is not someone to be trifled with.

"How about going to my house?" The homeless man pointed to the house behind him.

Peroz nodded and followed.

But before that, she set her sights on Hesper.

After meeting this person, she didn't know what to do with Hespel.

If he was a dangerous person, something might happen if Hesper followed him - Peroz was confident in her skills, the equipment she carried, and some blessings she had on her, but she had no way to guarantee the safety of those around her in extreme situations.

As for letting him go back alone, there was also a high probability that he would encounter danger. Peroz couldn't be sure whether the person in front of her was alone, so she couldn't be sure whether the other party had made the corresponding arrangements before inviting her.

If so, Hespel's journey home, or even his home, would no longer be safe.

"Sister, don't worry about me. I'm very strong." Hesper waved his little fist and then took out a stone dagger from his waist.

Peroz nodded and said, "Then... follow me closely. If you encounter any danger, remember to hide behind me."

Hesper nodded.

After entering the homeless man's house, she unexpectedly found that the layout of the courtyard was not as shabby as she had imagined.

On the contrary, the layout of the courtyard is very simple and refreshing.

Everything is neatly placed where it should be.

At the same time, the furniture in the homeless house is much more than that in the Hespel family. In addition to some very useful and necessary furniture, there are also many decorations in the house and manor.

"The difference between surviving and living~" the homeless man said in a high-pitched tone.

"If I just want to survive, then I only need to lie down somewhere, and I don't even need to wear anything. I just need to eat a certain amount of green wheat every day."

"But life needs to be managed carefully. If you don't find something to do, the long hours will drive you crazy."

Peroz nodded, took out a palm-sized kettle from the treasure bag behind him, and threw it over.

"I don't like drinking, and the only thing I can think of as alcohol is this bottle of alcohol."

"I think this bottle of alcohol should have a greater effect on you."

Whether it is blended with green wheat or water, or the alcohol itself is used, the effect of alcohol is greater than that of pure alcohol.

The homeless man nodded, unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it gently, then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

“It’s a long-lost smell…”

"Well, can you tell me about this place now?" Peroz asked, staring at the other person.

"of course."

“As an explorer, if you fall into an unknown place, the first thing you need to do is look for the exit.”

"It's just that this place doesn't exist in Guixu."
