Lord Helanza

The city at dusk, the countless chimneys in the city are emitting a faint blue smoke.

In the sky circling a group of gray pigeons, they hover on the row upon row of roofs, looking for pigeon nests in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At the top of the four tallest watchtowers in the city, several Pena Legion flags are sewing and flying fiercely.

The soldiers in the watchtower carried Paglio lance and long bows, and kept patrolling around the tower. The setting sun made the soldiers’ armor coated with golden rays of light. There is a long line at the city gate. It seems that merchants coming from all directions are waiting to enter the city. Some of them are rushing to carry their bags, while others are carrying heavy bags on their shoulders. The long lines are even in the The rows outside the city are in a back shape.

Pena Legion’s camp is not stationed in the city, but by the river east of the main town of Handanar County. It occupies a large sunflower farm and thousands of tents are built along the river. , Extending to the top of the soil slope in the distance.

Before going to the barracks to report on duty, Trolop Knight decided to send He Boqiang into the city first. If he was allowed to enter the city alone, maybe He Boqiang would have to spend most of the night outside the city. The Battle of Darnar County has begun, and merchants from all over the place are gathered here, so the city is also full of people.

Many large business groups even set up their own temporary camps outside the city. He Boqiang saw a group of thunder rhinos standing by the river drinking water, and then he remembered that there seemed to be a group of thunder rhinos in the forest camp. The forest camp was captured by devil Legion, and the fate of those thunder rhinos is unknown.

Trollope Knight wears the Knight's badge and the noble badge. He rides on the Kuba Lai horse, and no matter where he goes, someone makes way for him.

Even in the crowded city gate, Trolop Knight was unimpeded all the way. The guards at the city gate didn’t even charge the tax for entering the city. Several guards at the city gate faced Troy. Loop Knight gave a standard military salute. He Boqiang followed Trolop Knight and walked into the crowded city of Handanal.

This city is not too big, with a resident population of less than 300,000. The streets in the city are neatly built. The main street is paved with some huge stone strips, and drainage culverts are built on both sides of the road. , There are some shops on both sides of the culvert. Most of the buildings in the city are made of wood and stone. The shapes of the stones are different, so the gaps on the walls of these buildings are also very different. Generally speaking, the walls of the buildings are all made of gray. It is made of rock, and the doors, windows and roof are all wooden frame structures.

He Boqiang lived in a tent for more than four months. He walked into Handanar, and he saw a vibrant city in front of him. There were rows of attics on both sides of the market with open windows. The gauze curtains are exposed from the windows, and there are some flower pots full of green plants on the balcony. The thin gauze on the clothes rail is always full of imagination.

The goods in the shops standing in great numbers on both sides of the road are dazzling. The streets are filled with various foods and the aroma is mixed. Looking at those tall, fair-skinned, they are full of golden, red, maroon. The long-haired empires huddled together. He Boqiang even a little forgot that he was one of them. Some daring girls wore light gauze. When passing by He Boqiang, they would never stingy with the smiles on their faces. Bold and unrestrained.

Trollope Knight on the horse deliberately slowed down, leaned over He Boqiang's shoulder and patted him, whispered: "Surdak Knight, be careful of your pockets and valuables. No matter where it is, there will be nasty thieves."

He Boqiang nodded vigilantly.

Trollope Knight took He Boqiang to the door of a hotel called Maple Pudding at Cross Street. The waiter at the door saw Trollope Knight stop and immediately took out a three-story wooden ladder. Knight helped dismount his horse.

"Watch my horse!" Trolop Knight said straight to a waiter beside him, and then threw three Copper Coins to the waiter.

"I am willing to help you, Lord Knight!" After taking the Copper Coin, the waiter said quickly.

Trollope Knight was a little awkward in walking, and the two waiters wanted to come to help, but he waved their hands and refused.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Trolop Knight took off the nameplate on his chest and placed it on the front desk, and said to the hostess in the front desk:

"I need a room A clean room facing the street without being too noisy, preferably with a separate bathroom..."

The hostess glanced at the nameplate of Trolop Knight and immediately said respectfully:

p>

"I will do it for you right away, Lord Viscount!"

As the two of them were waiting to check in, a businessman in a formal dress next to him also took the opportunity to say to the hostess :

"Please open for me too..."

It's just that he hasn't finished speaking yet, the hostess interrupted him without even raising his head. Said:

"Sorry, sir, our store is full, please go to another hotel to see if there are free rooms."

The person in a dress The business man in, looked a little unhappy, and asked the male hostess at the front desk: "But you are still checking in the room..." The businessman said: "The empty room on the third floor is dedicated to entertain the nobles. Do you want to live in too?"

"Okay! I didn't mean it." The businessman spread out helplessly Hand, turned and left with the attendant.

The people in the hall on the first floor seem to be used to this kind of scene, and no one is surprised or indignant. They don’t even have the mood to watch a good show, as if this kind of scene is the most normal, nobleman. It seems that no matter where they are, they will receive various preferential treatments, and the civilians seem to be able to stay in some dilapidated small hotels, even if they are a successful businessman with civilian status.

Trollop Knight settled He Boqiang into this hotel, dragged his injured leg in the restaurant downstairs, had dinner with He Boqiang, and showed He Boqiang when The waiters should be given some tips and arranged to meet outside the barracks tomorrow before leaving on horseback.

He Boqiang did not return to the room immediately, but continued to stay in the restaurant. The lemon tea at the table was faintly scented, leaning on the back of the chair and looking through the window, looking at the street to-and- Pedestrians in fro.

At this time, the sky is already dark, and many pedestrians are looking inside the window with envy, and they seem to be carefully observing the exquisite dishes on the table.

The consumption here is not low. A meal requires about a dozen silver spoons. This is equivalent to a ten-day salary of an ordinary commoner craftsman.

Fortunately, the Gold Coin in He Boqiang's pocket is still sufficient, but he is still not ready to visit this high level restaurant again. The food here is too expensive for him, maybe You can buy cheap and delicious white bread in the bakery down the street.

The street lights in Handanar city were lit one after another. He drank the last bit of tea in the cup and beckoned to the waiter on the side. The waiter walked over and He Boqiang asked the waiter: " Where can I buy some stronger envelopes, preferably parchment ones."

The waiter lowered his head and replied: "Surdak Knight, how much do you need, I can help you."

p>

"Twelve envelopes are all you need. If you buy them, please send them to Room 307." He Boqiang thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Surdak Knight, do you have any other orders?" the waiter asked.

"In addition, please help me settle the meal expenses this time." He Boqiang said.

The waiter said in a bit of amazement: "Trollope Baron has already paid for your meals and your accommodation expenses. Also, for breakfast tomorrow morning, you want to be here. Eat, or in the bedroom on the third floor?"

He Boqiang thought for a while, and said: "Just here!"

The waiter carried out the ceremony and said respectfully to He Boqiang : "Breakfast time is from 7 to 9 in the morning, Surdak Knight, if you have other additional needs, please feel free to order..."
