Chapter 81 Rusty Iron 'North Star District'
As an employee of 'Glass Dream', the usual dining location is on the 38th floor upstairs, where there are not only lounges and dressing rooms, but also kitchens and restaurants.
There are about 70 maids in the store, and everyone will take turns to come here for lunch, and it is the busiest at noon.
"Danterian~"
From a distance, Belfinger greeted Heshia, and there was a maid next to her that Heshia was not familiar with.
"This is 'Furfur'." When the girl approached, she introduced the companion next to her to the girl.
Furfur: The 34th demon among the 72 demons of King Solomon. He is in the image of a stag with flames on his tail. He has a hoarse voice and never tells the truth unless he is forced. He can control the love between men and women, and he can also control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and he can also give true knowledge to the magician who commands him.
The 'Furfur' in front of him is a maid with flaming antlers. She should also be a subspecies of orcs, and a rare one.
Seeing Heshia, she nodded slightly and didn't say much. Her personality seemed particularly dull, no wonder Heshia rarely saw her.
"'Ffa' is like this, she doesn't talk much, and she mainly does some behind-the-scenes work." Belfinger knew this companion next to him very well, and pulled 'Ffa' to sit down with the three of them.
"The kitchen cut watermelon today, bought from North District 2, very delicious~" Although lunch has not been served yet, Belfinger already knew in advance, and it was hard not to think that she had stolen it.
"T5 grade yellow jade watermelon, very sweet." 'Ffa's slightly hoarse voice sounded at the side.
"By the way, I forgot to tell Danterian that 'Ffa' is from North District 2. She is very good at shooting. If you have time, Heshia can learn some self-defense from her, and I can also lend you my precious little water gun to practice~" Belfinger shook the ear on his head and said slightly happily.
"So Senior Belphegor often plays with that little water gun to practice his marksmanship?" Heshia was shocked. There are people who practice their marksmanship with water guns.
"Well, how should I put it? The little water gun is also quite useful..." Belphegor avoided the question. She is a rabbit. The sound of a real gun is so loud that it will scare rabbits.
The three of them sat for a while and lunch was ready. They brought it over from the windowsill one by one. Just as they were about to start enjoying it, Heshia's left sleeve moved and a small white snake popped out.
"There's a snake!" Belphegor jumped up at a dazzling speed and hid behind Fufa. His two rabbit ears also stood up straight, highly alert.
After a few seconds, she secretly poked her head out from behind Fufa and looked at the little snake poking out of Heshia's sleeve.
"Well, it's actually a long story..." Heshia pinched the snake's head with her left hand to make it stay still and began to explain to the two.
"So that's how it is..."
Belphegor calmed down a little, and then slowly sat back down, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously still a little afraid of the little snake.
"Of all the bars, the one I'm most afraid of is the jungle in 'Butis'. There are a lot of spiders, scorpions, snakes and the like in it. If you walk in, they will fall on your head without you noticing. It's scary to think about it." Belphegor talked about his weakness.
"Well, I was also scared the first time I went there, but I've slowly gotten used to it recently." Heshia picked up a small piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into the little snake's mouth, letting it swallow it slowly.
"Okay, stay inside quietly for now, don't come out and scare people." The girl pressed the little snake back into her sleeve and continued with her lunch.
"The original Sequence 2 tree viper, a very famous ornamental snake." 'Ffa''s voice was still so hoarse and stable.
"Are there snakes like this in other places?" the girl asked curiously.
"Yes, but there are not many in Jade Skirt. These are cultivated in the 'courtyards' of other star fields. Some people like to keep these little snakes as pets. Extraordinary creatures have higher IQs than ordinary animals, are easier to tame, and are even safer." 'Ffa' commented, and then stopped talking.
"'Ffa' used to work in a security agency and went on missions in many places. Later, he retired due to injuries and came to our store." Belfinger introduced.
So that's why Belfinger said before that he wanted me to learn gunmanship with her. Maybe he was worried about his safety.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while, and then enjoyed the watermelon after lunch. As a T5-level yellow jade watermelon, it requires a certain number of natural sequence personnel to maintain it during the production process, which is much more troublesome than the fully automated T6-level standard sweet watermelon, but the advantage is that it tastes good, and the price and profit will be much higher.
The three of them slowly talked about the watermelons that were a specialty of the North Second District. At this time, Heshia remembered the large ruins she saw when she passed through the North Second District on the way to the re-examination. Among them were abandoned factories, rusty steel jungles and buildings.
"That's because the North Second District was once the capital of the Jade Skirt." 'Ffa' said so, but soon fell silent. She was born in the North Second District and naturally knew the history.
"Before the 'Jade Skirt' was corroded by the poisonous rain, the north had a large land area and the population was mostly concentrated in various districts in the north. Among them, the North Second District was located in the plains and had developed transportation, so it became the center."
"Four hundred years ago, there were a large number of buildings on the surface of the North Second District, and nearly 100 million people lived there. At that time, it was also called the 'North Star District'." 'Ffa' slowly narrated.
"Later, due to the erosion of poisonous rain, a large number of buildings on the ground rusted and damaged, and large areas of grain-producing land and botanical gardens were destroyed. As a result, the residents living in the 'North Star District' were scattered and moved, and then a large number of people were taken in by the area built in the mountains and valleys. This is now the 'North District 1'."
"Even so, the population of the 'North District 1' is only 50 million, a significant decline."
"Then are there still people living in the 'North District 2' now?" Heshia thought that since it can produce watermelons, some industries should still be retained.
"There are people living there, but the population is the smallest among the northern districts, probably less than 8 million." 'Ffa' shook his head.
"Instead of developing a city on a land full of ruins and scars, it is better to build a new city in an unobstructed environment."
"The economic and population center of the Jade Skirt has gradually moved south, and the southern districts have gradually surpassed the northern districts. The current capital has also moved to the Southern District 1." "
Now there are only three large cities in the 'Northern District 2'. They are quite special. Unlike Arpeggio City, they are all buried deep underground, but in the shallower surface layer."
"It's like people who originally lived in the surface city were forced to develop underground. The surface and underground buildings are not completely separated."
"Walking in the underground square, you can clearly see the rain pouring down from the dome, like a small waterfall flowing into the drainage outlet below, while the streets and pedestrians on the side continue to do business, visit temple fairs, burn incense and worship gods, etc." "
It sounds like a very retro activity?" Belfinger was curious.
"Well, there are all kinds of churches and gangs there, mixed with good and bad..." 'Ffa' shook his head, as if he had no way to deal with it.
"To be able to insist on not leaving in such an environment, one must have some kind of paranoia. The original mainstream of the crowd dispersed, just like the ebb tide, and the remaining reefs all had their own stubbornness and obsession."
