After successfully entering the city, Nam and I finally saw what the Monster race's city looked like.
There was a wide stone road in front of us. We couldn't see the end of it and we didn't know where it led to.
Both sides of the road were filled with large and small stalls with a dazzling array of goods.
Beastmen of different races came and went. Occasionally, they would stop at a stall to choose the items that they liked.
These items were very common in the human world and some of them had already been eliminated.
However, all of this was extremely novel in Nam's eyes.
Nam wasn't as angry as before. He stood next to me and sighed. "Is this Rock City?
It really is as prosperous as what the village chief said. "
Compared to Nam's excitement, I was extremely calm. After looking for a while, I retracted my gaze and urged him to hurry up.
Nam nodded dumbly and stared at the surrounding shops as he slowly followed behind me. Occasionally, he would let out a cry of surprise when he saw something new.
No matter where it was, country people always acted like this when they entered the city. The surrounding people were already used to it and didn't mind Nam's loud voice.
After walking for a hundred meters, there were tall buildings made of stones on both sides of the road.
These buildings were only a dozen meters tall. The walls weren't carefully polished and looked very rough.
Seeing these stone buildings, Nam couldn't remain calm. He pulled me while pointing at the stone buildings. His eyes lit up and said, "These buildings are much sturdier than the thatched houses in our village. Furthermore, they are so spacious. Quite a number of people can live here.
When I have money in the future, I want to build a house like this too. I'll be able to sleep in a different room every day. "
After I said that, I saw the originally leisurely passersby suddenly run towards both sides of the road as though they were hiding from something.
In the midst of the hurried exclamations, a girl shouted, "Scram!"
The voice clearly came from afar, but it sounded as though it was right next to my ear.
When I turned around to see what was going on, the roar of a ferocious beast was suddenly heard.
The surrounding passersby instantly jumped up and down in panic.
I quickly pulled Nam to the side of the road. Only then did I see a cat race girl with two pointy ears on her head. She was riding on a ferocious beast that looked like a fierce horse and was running towards us.
The cat girl waved the golden whip in her hand. Every time she waved it, there would be a dragon's roar. Many passersby who couldn't dodge in time were whipped several meters away by the whip in her hand. In an instant, flesh and blood splattered everywhere, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
Before we could see her face clearly, she flashed past us.
After the horse galloped, a strong gust of wind blew the long hair on Nam's head into his mouth.
Nam spat out a mouthful of saliva and took out the hair. Then, he looked in the direction that the woman had gone and cursed in a low voice with a trace of anger, "What kind of person is that? She's running amok in the streets."
Looking at the woman's attire and unusual mount, she was probably the daughter of some noble family in Rock City.
However, I was more curious about the golden whip in her hand. When she waved it, it emitted a dragon roar. I guessed it was some kind of magical tool.
This reminded me of the Spirit Snake. I wondered where he and Tong Tong were and if they were safe.
Seeing me in a daze, Nam waved his hand in front of my eyes and asked me what I was looking at.
After being interrupted by Nam, I didn't think much about it. I shook my head and asked him if he knew where Lord Kratos' brothel was located in the city.
Although Nam had heard of the brothel, he didn't know the exact location. Thus, we walked in front of a shop and tried to ask around.
The owner of the shop was a pig-headed person. I had previously heard from Nam that among the half beastmen, although the pig-headed people were a lower race, they were good at doing business. Overall, they were relatively wealthy. Their status in the Monster region was much higher than the dog-headed people.
When the pig-headed owner saw us walk over, he immediately picked up the items on his stall and handed them over. With a smile, he said, "You guys came from outside the city, right? Take a look at the items here. The villages outside the city don't have anything like this."
This pig-headed boss was able to tell where we came from with just a glance. This made Nam very surprised and he said, "Boss, how did you know we came from outside the city?"
The owner tidied up the messy goods in front of him and said unhurriedly, "In this Rock City, most of the dog-headed people have become slaves for the rich families.
Since you guys are so leisurely and don't have slave marks on your faces, you must have just come from outside the city. "
The peddlers of Rock City interacted with a lot of people every day, so they had good eyesight.
Nam seemed to want to say something, but the owner beat him to it. He passed the goods in front of us and said, "I have good goods here. Do you want to buy some?"
Seeing the owner's enthusiasm, Nam scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have any money. We just want to ask for directions. Do you know how to get to Lord Kratos' brothel?"
After hearing that, the owner's face instantly darkened. He waved his hand at us and said, "Let's go. Don't block my business. You don't have money and you still want to go to the brothel? You're crazy."
The sudden change in the owner's attitude stunned Nam. He looked at me as though he was asking me what we should do next.
I didn't reply and pulled him towards another shop.
However, when every shop owner heard that we didn't have money and only wanted to ask for directions, they chased us away with a face of disgust.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn completely dark and we still hadn't found Lord Kratos' brothel, Nam became even more anxious and asked me, "Duo Ji, you have a lot of ideas. What do you think we should do now?"
Dog-Headed people were lower class citizens. Their status in Rock City was even lower. No one would even look at them in the eye.
However, in order to enter the city, we gave all the gold we had to the Hyena soldiers. We didn't even have a place to stay tonight. It would be difficult to ask the passersby for directions.
That's why we need to get some gold first.
Hearing me say that, Nam's expression became even more serious. He complained, "It's so late at night, where are we going to get money?"
You can't say it like that. It's because it's late at night that we can get money quickly.
Nam saw the smile on my face and seemed to know that I already had a plan. He quickly asked, "Duo Ji, did you already think of a plan?"
I didn't reply to him and asked him to follow me to the restaurant in the distance.
After walking for less than a hundred meters, Nam called out to me from behind. "Duo Ji, look, there's a person lying there."
Hearing Nam's shout, I stopped and looked in the direction he pointed.
There was indeed a person lying in an alley to my side.
That person's hair was unkempt and his face was covered in filth. I couldn't see his face clearly.
Other than that, there were many scars on the exposed parts of his body. The wounds were already rotten and there were many mosquitoes crawling on them, gnawing on the rotten flesh.
He didn't seem to have the strength to get up and chase the mosquitoes away. He could only lie on the ground and groan softly.
Even in the human world, there were many people with such a hard life, not to mention the Monster region where the strong preyed on the weak.
I didn't intend to pay attention to this kind of person. It could be said that a pitiful person must have a hateful side.
However, Nam didn't leave even after a long time. Maybe he felt pity for that person's pitiful state.
I knew that Nam was kind-hearted, but Rock City couldn't be compared to Green Water Village. Sometimes, overflowing kindness would harm oneself.
However, I didn't say that to Nam. Of course, he probably wouldn't listen even if I said that.
At that moment, Nam had already lifted his feet and walked towards that person. I also followed behind him.
After arriving in front of that person, Nam first used his monster energy to chase away the mosquitoes on the wound. Then, he took out the half bottle of black mud cream and slowly applied it on the wound.
I then took out a healing pill from the cloth bag and fed it to the person.
After finishing, Nam still didn't intend to leave. I knew that he wanted to wait for the person to wake up before leaving, so I didn't urge him.
After about fifteen minutes, the person on the ground finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing us sitting at the side, he was shocked. He immediately curled up and moved towards the wall behind him. His eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing him like that, I pulled Nam and prepared to leave. However, after Nam took a few steps back, he suddenly said to me, "Duo Ji, this beggar is also from Rock City. He should know where the brothel is."
What Nam said wasn't wrong. The people who were most familiar with the streets and alleys of a city were definitely hooligans and beggars. If it was so in the human world, then the Monster region wouldn't be any different.
Thinking about that, we returned to the person's side.
Seeing that I had left and returned, the beggar on the ground shrunk back to the wall. He lowered his head and whimpered, "Please … I beg you, don't hit me."
Nam comforted him in a low voice to calm the beggar down. Then, he asked for the location of the brothel from him.
After getting the address, Nam didn't want to stay any longer. In less than fifteen minutes, we found the right location with me.
It was already late at night. The shops along the way had already closed for the day, but the brothel in front of us had just opened its doors to welcome customers. There were constant noises coming from inside.
