Indeed, two thousand gold coins is enough to make people sad and mad. For the greedy people, let alone the partners in the same village, even if the brother and wife dare to block his way, that is also true.
Shire's grandfather used to be a mercenary, and this kind of person died too much for money, so he taught this truth to his grandson very early. Just now, the reason why Shire didn't think about it here was because of the excitement of having so much money at first. Now, as soon as Nalco reminded, he immediately remembered the risks.
Nalco nodded with satisfaction. These words were not only for Shir and the farmers, Hughes was also within the scope of his education. And Shire's reaction gave him a good cooperation. I believe Hughes, who was already clever, already understood the subtle relationship.
"In addition, the distribution of this matter will be checked when I come back. If someone really dares to do evil, don’t think about being able to escape, I will let him understand what it means to be wanted from the nobles! , Our gangster action, here comes the end, take the spoils and the poor girls back home, the village of Shire will be proud of your bravery. Maybe, as soon as you go back, there will be beautiful girls. Come after you?"
Nalco's last words changed a lot, and Hughes vaguely felt there was an article in it, but with everyone's relaxed laughter, he temporarily forgot about it and started packing up with Ram, ready to go on the road again.
The bandit spent several hours, and the remaining time was already a bit nervous. At Nalco's signal, they had to speed up and try to rush to Kahn town when it was dark.
Twenty-eight days after leaving the Shining City of Jihad, the three men finally came to the place five kilometers away from the capital. They drove horses to walk on the flat and wide gravel road leading to the king capital, and looked at the huge city in the distance, all amazed.
"Sure enough, compared to the king capital, our glorious city is a country. No wonder the nobles of the king capital always look down on us." Hughes sighed for a while, and suddenly thought of some unpleasant rumors, could not help sighing.
Ram didn't think so much, he was still very excited, and even tried to sit higher on horseback, so that the big guy who suddenly swelled up from the plain in front of him could see clearly.
"Haha, along the way, except for the small battle in the Shire village, I never encountered anything that excites me. It was so boring along the way. I thought I was going to be disappointed. Haha, I didn’t expect At the end of the journey, you can still see such a majestic king capital.
Hughes gave Ram a glance, and Nalco chuckled beside him. In the nearly thirty days of lonely journey, the three people who had been distinct from each other have also formed friendships, the sense of class existence has gradually faded, and Nalco dares to make a joke with Hughes.
"Let's speed up. I haven't bathed in three days, and my body smells." Hughes twitched his teeth and twisted a few times. For a life where he cannot take a bath every day, even if he has been hard for thirty days, he still cannot adapt. Every time he went to a bathing place, he had to praise him for a long time. And every time he heard the news that he couldn't take a bath, he would be sulking.
Hughes never thought about it. It turned out to be such a difficult thing to go out, even a bath. Seeing that he smelled badly on his body almost every day, Hughes was very tired and crooked, but he had no choice but to suffocate in depression, when he hadn't heard it.
Fortunately, after thirty days of training, Hughes barely adapted to the stinky life, remembering that when he was upset, he would also have teeth, but he would not be in trouble to find others in a black face.
The two guards have no opinions. Although they have already adapted to this situation, it is human nature to love cleanliness. No one likes to be as dirty as a devil pig under conditions.
The three men drove fast, but they had to slow down after only three kilometers. The wide road has been crowded with pedestrians, horses and a large number of carriages. Many people simply choose to walk along the dirt road next to it, making it dusty. The people on the dirt road and the gravel road are deeply affected, but they are helpless. After all, everyone wants to enter the city early, especially those who deliver goods, every minute of delay may make them lose a business and lose a lot of money.
Hughes immediately covered his eyes, and under the huge city outline, the black gate of the black hole like a blood of a beast swallowed the flow of people and vehicles, but the gravel road was still crowded and unusual. People almost counted their own Step forward.
"Just kidding, we won't be able to enter the city until it's dark!" Hughes felt uncomfortable, and all arrived at his destination, but instead he was stuck outside the door, the feeling of holding back...
Nalco smiled: "Don't worry, sir, we don't have to wait like these people. Did you see the small door next to the Great City Gate? It was specifically for the nobles above the Lord. We can enter from there."
"Really? What are you waiting for, let's go!" Huston was happy when he raised his hand, and he urged the horse to raise the horse. Who knows, only half of his hand stretched out and he was firmly grasped by Nalco.
"Can't accelerate! Young Master, someone watched this paragraph. If you find a noble horse riding in front of the gate of the capital, it is going to be called by the noble council to talk, and the Viscount Lord will be warned accordingly." Nalco explained in a low voice , "Wang Du represents the face of the royal family. Many foreign businessmen and envoys come and go from here, so no one can do rudeness here, nor damage the image of the nobility."
This joy was replaced with depression, emotional twists and turns, and suddenly Hughes did not have the excitement of the newcomer. He hummed feebly: "Well, if you don't run, you don't run."
In fact, compared to the civilians in front of him, Hughes feels that his condition is already pretty good. Unlike a team that is one kilometer away in front of the main city gate, I am afraid it will take a long time to enter.
After paying the entry tax of three silver coins, the three Huss finally passed through the long dark entrance and entered the capital of Allianz, the city of Ares.
When they just walked to the exit of the doorway, Hughes obviously felt a heat wave coming in, which was mixed with a strong smell of sweat, a strange odor of perfume, and a clear **** smell... All kinds of flavors were mixed in Together, they were so pungent that even the horses under them could not bear it, and they kept shaking their heads and slapping their noses.
Covering his nose and looking intently, it turned out that not far in front was a large square, all of which was paved with stone bricks. Countless people are walking back and forth, occasionally around to talk to people. Through the gaps in the crowd, Hughes saw that there were many stalls in the crowd, with things he knew and did not know. Heat waves and mixed smells came from there, wave after wave.
"This is a trading market?" Hughes asked Nalco with his nose pinched. He suddenly realized that Nalco didn't feel any discomfort at all. He and Ram both had the very happy expression, as if the thirsty fish would soon return to the sea.
"Don't you think it smells bad here?" Hughes exclaimed.
"Hey, it's a bit bad, but there are a lot of good things in it!" Nalco smiled heartily, and he could see that he was really happy. And Ram's face was even more excited, and he kept asking Nalco what he was, and then looked excitedly in a certain direction.
Hughes was depressed, and the two apparently forgot themselves, and Ram didn't even take care of his question. He snapped on Ram's back with a snap, and asked fiercely: "Hey, Le is dizzy, is he thinking about beauty or food, so that even the saliva is coming out?"
Ram was shocked at first, and when he saw that he was the young master, he embarrassedly explained: "Hey, here is the best swordsman equipment in the whole continent. I have wanted to check it out for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had a chance. If it is not the reason of the young master , I may have to become a middle-aged uncle before I have a chance. Thank you, young master."
Hughes is speechless, thanks to Ram, how he thinks he feels something wrong, but he can't tell why.
Nalco understands Ram's feeling very well. In fact, once he came here, he was involuntarily excited. What could be more exciting for a soldier than getting a beloved weapon? And here is the largest warrior equipment trading market in the Allianz Kingdom, just two hundred meters inside the southern gate of the City of Ares.
However, of course he can also feel the mood of Hughes. Now that we have come, there will be opportunities to visit the market in the future. If it makes the young master unhappy and provokes a disaster, it will be a complete disaster.
"Come on, Ram, there is a chance to come in the future, first find a place to live." Nalco greeted.
"Are you going to the Wangjia Warrior Academy now?" Hughes sulked slightly and smiled at the empathetic Nalco.
"I'm afraid it won't work. There are three days left before the school. The college won't let us in, even if you have an admission notice. The rules there are very strict." Nalco shook his head. "We have to go to a place nearby to live Next, no matter how late it is, even the money in the store will make us feel bad."
Looking at the questioning expressions of Hughes and Ram, Nalco explained: "One gold coin a night, now! Three gold coins tomorrow night! The day after tomorrow, the night before the opening of the hospital, five gold coins!"
Hughes and Ram breathed a sigh of relief, widening their eyes in disbelief. Just kidding, at such a price, they live in the neighborhood for three days and will spend a total of 27 gold coins. This is almost three months of compensation for Ram.
incredible! Quite incredible! Even the child of the Viscount family, Hughes, can’t believe that there is such an expensive hotel in the world! According to his net worth, at this price, he will go bankrupt if he lives shortly.
"Are you kidding? It's so expensive, will anyone live? Are they all stupid? Or are the people who opened the store stupid?" Hughes asked after a series of exits, he was really surprised. If Nalco can be confirmed, then this topic alone, when he returns to Guangyao City, will stun the group of peers when he speaks.
Nalco shrugged and did not speak. Obviously, the news was certain.
"So, can't we change to a cheaper place?" Hughes hesitated and asked, he was a little embarrassed, but he spent so much money in three nights. As a nobleman, he must be distressed.
Nalco pondered for a moment and said to Hughes: "Of course there are cheap places. But there must be a situation that the Wangjia Warrior Academy occupies a huge area, which is one-tenth of the City of Warlords, and almost occupies the entire southwestern city. There Surrounded by a tall city wall alone, it can only be accessed through two gates. The hotel I just mentioned is just across the street from one of the commonly used gates, so it is more expensive. If you want to be cheaper, you have to go more Far away, um, from there to the gate, it takes almost an hour to walk. And the price is at most one-third cheaper. Of course, I mean this time."
Hughes was speechless, for a while, he sighed: "Okay, we will live in that expensive house. We can still afford it for three days." After he finished, he motioned for Nalco to lead the way, and he was quiet. To follow behind. He suddenly discovered that although he was a Viscount nobleman, in this huge city, it seemed really nothing. Just think about it. If that hotel can live for 100 people at the same time, then in only three days, the person who opened the hotel can earn 900 gold coins.
"900 gold coins! Adding 100 is my annual cost! It only takes three days! Alas ~ cities can't compare, people can't compare!" Hughes secretly sighed.
The group was led by Nalco. Hughes didn’t know the structure of the city at all, so looking at the maze-like streets, the occasional tall walls, and a beautiful white stone sculpture along the way, and the magic light fountain that spewed along with the rhythm of music, He had no other expression except to sigh. Not even the mood to ask where this is. I was completely immersed in my own sense of insignificance.
Hughes suddenly felt a feeling of awe grow in his heart!
This is not the awe of the royal family, nor the awe of the king, nor the awe of the **** of war!
This is awe of the people who created this city!
"Endless people, endless wisdom and power!" Hughes sighed. His eyes first stopped on his armguards, and turned to the blue sky above his head.
Don't dare to rush horses outside the city gate, let alone think inside the city.
Although, walking into the city to a certain depth, the crowd density was significantly reduced. But correspondingly, the width of the stone-paved road surface is also much thinner. Except for the main street mentioned by Nalco, most of the remaining branch roads can only pass three carriages side by side.
Finally, after nearly half an hour, Sanqi came to a very tall wall, almost comparable to the height of the wall outside the city, and looked at the huge black shadow cast on the ground. Hughes and Ram looked at each other.
"No, we are shining in the city, but at the front line of the war, we are always ready to fight, so there is only a 30-meter-high city wall, but here is the city, what is this? Is it the outer wall of the palace?" Ram was surprised.
Hughes is also very strange. It is completely incomprehensible to have such a high wall inside the capital. Once a war breaks out, if even the entire king is broken, what's the use of building the inner city walls even higher?
Moreover, such a high city wall, the area occupied by the foundation of the light city wall is enough to make people speechless. In such a prosperous and expensive place as Wangdu, it is a waste to repair such a tall city wall.
Hughes didn't understand and turned his attention to Nalco again. He felt that Nalco knew the reason.
