After listening to Ezreal's words, the other scavengers more or less let down their guard. It wasn't that they trusted Ezreal, but that they were really short of food.

If not, they wouldn't choose this way.

Even if Ezreal seems to be a young man and looks down on the things on scavengers like them, what if?

It’s not like there have never been cases where scavengers picked up treasures without their knowledge, and then nobles sent troops to collect them.

Although Ezreal is only one person, Ezreal's methods are a bit bizarre and the person is also very strange. The scavengers really have no confidence in defeating Ezreal.

"Eat slowly, don't rush."

Ezreal saw that the dried meat he took out had been eaten by the scavengers, and he immediately took out some more. After all, he was now a high-ranking official in the new country, so he should be appropriate.

To help the poor people.

"This young master, what do you want to ask us... ahem -"

A scavenger asked Ezreal while chewing dried meat, but who would have thought that he ate too quickly and actually choked.

"There is water here, take a few sips."

Ezreal opened the mineral water, held it for the scavenger, and helped him drink the water.

After all, this is a 10L bucket of mineral water, not a 500ml bottle of mineral water. These scavengers are sallow and thin. Maybe when Ezreal lets go, the weight of the bucket will overwhelm the choking scavengers.

There have been some unexpected casualties.

"Thank you, sir, this water is quite delicious."

The scavenger quickly drank some water. This water was different from the river water, and it was also different from the well water mixed with soil. It tasted unexpectedly and had a sweet taste, as if some sugar had been added.

In this era, sugar was a luxury item that only the nobles could afford.

"This is mineral water. There are some minerals in it. Well...you won't understand even if I say it too much, but this water is really good."

Ezreal has drank a lot of mountain spring water in the past, but the mineral water produced by Salva has the content of various minerals that is most suitable for human consumption. If it is not unable to provide the energy needed by the human body, it may

A person only needs to drink water to meet the needs of life.

"Where is the young master from?"

As they talked, the scavengers began to ask about Ezreal's origins. They were really worried that Ezreal had evil intentions, but Ezreal was able to bring out so much food and water and give it to them.

, and he doesn’t look like a bad guy.

The taste of these foods and water is not much different from the actual food and water, and the only difference is probably that the food Ezreal gives is more delicious, and the water he gives is better tasting.

"Me? I am a person who does not belong to this era. I came here with Emperor Sima Yi."

Ezreal remembered Balliard's identity, and also realized that these people were still a little wary.

Are you wary of his abilities? Or do you not want to trust him, a noble of unknown origin? To be honest, Ezreal does have the time and ability to put on makeup and become a scavenger.

In his world line and his first monthly exam world line, it's not like he has never done similar things. He also pretended to be a beggar and a refugee.

But here, he didn't know much about the scavengers. Instead of pretending to be a scavenger and meeting these people, and then exposing problems in certain details and being rejected by these scavengers, it would be better not to hide it and ask directly.

Now, since these people still exist

If he is wary, he has to find a way to dispel his wariness. It is said that Balliard is a highly respected founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom in this world line, and he is the kind of emperor who came back from the dead. So, he claims to be Sima Yi's subordinate

, it should be easy to win the favor of these people, right?

"The Emperor's men?"

The scavengers raised their heads one after another and looked at Ezreal carefully. They couldn't believe that such a young boy was actually a subordinate of Emperor Sima Yi, or someone who had returned with Emperor Sima Yi...

In other words, this is a deceased person who has been dead for eighteen hundred years?

Although this was a bit unbelievable, from the information they gathered, the City of the Sun had indeed risen again, and the Marrow Seal City had surrendered to the Great Emperor.

It is very possible that the emperor is really resurrected. Since such things as resurrection can happen, what's the matter with resurrecting a few more people? What's wrong with the dead from 1,800 years ago having some special abilities in today's era?

Ezreal's words actually made these scavengers figure out how his ability to make something out of nothing came from. It was because of Ezreal's weird ability that these people believed Ezreal's words.

"Well, that's right, I'm also carrying out the task he gave me now."

Ezreal noticed that the way these scavengers looked at him changed. When these scavengers thought he was a noble, their eyes were full of wariness.

When he demonstrated his power to create something out of nothing, the wariness of these scavengers turned into worry and hostility.

But now, he said that he was a subordinate of Emperor Sima Yi, and the wariness, worry and hostility disappeared without a trace. The way these people looked at him was like looking at a great man.

He was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't lie, he was indeed working for Balliard. Balliard was indeed Emperor Sima Yi in this world line, but he really didn't think he was that great.

I became a guardian, but when I completed the mission of the monthly exam world line, I basically did nothing and succeeded. I successfully protected the world. This kind of greatness is too rash.

"Is it related to your question?"

The scavengers' names for Ezreal have also changed. This is the deceased from 1,800 years ago. Both in terms of status and actual age, he far exceeds them.

"Indeed, I need to complete the tasks he assigned, but eighteen hundred years have passed, and many changes have taken place in the continent of Shurima. I need to obtain some information to understand these changes."

Ezreal frankly explained his mission. Although he is a noble, as an explorer, he does not have much aristocratic arrogance. In his many years of exploration career, he has also dealt with many civilians, so naturally he will not

Contempt the common people.

Of course, he still despises those people with sound limbs and sound minds who insist on becoming a beggar despite trying hard to change their lives.

"You can ask, and we will answer you for any questions we know about."

The scavengers are no longer eating the dried meat provided by Ezreal, and Ezreal will not take these things back. Now is the critical moment to help Emperor Sima Yi's men complete their mission. If you don't hear clearly, it will cause

What should I do if my answer is wrong? Don’t miss important events just because of eating or drinking.

"Do you know about octopuses?"

Ezreal wants to know how much people in this world know about octopuses, so as to help him better find and explore the ruins.

"Octopus? What kind of fish is that? Is it a fish with scales on its body that look like square seals? I have lived for so many years and I have never heard of this kind of fish. What about you, have you heard of it?

Pass?"

The scavenger's answer made Ezreal feel helpless, but it didn't make him surprised or angry.

When people think about things they have never seen, they always use things they have seen to fill in the images they imagine. They have never seen an octopus, but they have seen fish and know what the image of a fish looks like.

of.

"Perhaps it was because the fish was too dirty, so it was called dirty fish. Then the nobles thought the name was indecent, so they named the fish after octopus."

The scavenger who opened his mouth was also a knowledgeable person. At least he knew that nobles would replace the so-called common names with some homophonic elegant names, but this was still far from Ezreal's problem.

Then, other scavengers also gave answers one by one, but no one connected the octopus with the tentacles.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with your answer. Now, next question, has anyone been to the Targon Mountains between Zerima and Garden City? It's best to climb to the top or mountainside of the Targon Mountains."

Ezreal has now determined how much the people of Shurima know about octopuses. Now the scavengers have been to Marrow Seal City and stole food from the restaurants in Marrow Seal City. There is a fish in the south of Marrow Seal City.

The road is connected to the port city on the southern coast of Shurima. If there are octopuses in the southern continent of Shurima and have been caught, there will be some rumors about octopuses.

But these scavengers have never heard of octopus, so the possibility of octopus existing in the southern coastal areas of Shurima continent is very low.

However, since there may not be octopuses here, what do the octopus tentacle-like markings mean?

Or is it that a war broke out in ancient times, and in the sea south of Shurima, a powerful octopus climbed ashore and wreaked havoc, thus being sealed by the creatures of the Shurima continent? Is this possible?

But are there no legends left?

"this……"

The scavengers looked at each other, and they all understood what their companions meant.

"You are making things difficult for us. We are just some weak scavengers. If a dozen of us go up together, we may not be able to kill a beast. Going up the mountain? We are afraid that we will be swallowed by the beast in the jungle at the bottom of the mountain."

"That's right. I've finished asking all my questions. I'll give you some food and water as reward. Speaking of which, why don't you go to the City of the Sun? I remember that the City of the Sun has been rising again for several months.

As long as you go there, you will have a house to live in, and you will also be offered a job. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Ezreal doesn't quite understand why he still encounters scavengers. This area is already within the territory of Balliard. How come characters like scavengers, who appear only when people are desperate, still appear here.

Moreover, where is the City of the Sun? It is the capital of the New Kingdom. Being able to own your own house in the capital is very prestigious. Even if you want to live in other cities in the future, you can make a lot of money by selling it.

Not much.

"We are not afraid of adults' jokes. We didn't believe in the City of the Sun before. Even if other people of the same kind went to the City of the Sun, we didn't believe in this kind of thing. We only believed it when His Majesty captured the Marrow Seal City.

We learned about that, no, we were planning to go to the City of the Sun, but we encountered a lot of problems along the way. There were nearly twenty people when we came, but now there are only a dozen or so."

The scavengers were also confused. If they had believed the rumors about the City of the Sun, they might have been living in a house in the City of the Sun at this moment. Even if it might not be a good house, it would still be better than sleeping in the open air.
