Chapter Ninety-One: Into the City
"It's really familiar!" Zhao Xi sighed in his heart.
The queue outside the city gate was still very long, and according to Zhao Xi's estimate, if it was their turn, it would be at least after lunch.
"Is there always so many people coming into the city for Shodrea?" Zhao Xi turned his head and asked Atticas beside him.
"I don't quite remember it either. Atticas shook his head and said, "After all, I've been out of here for many years. ”
"Normally, there aren't so many people, maybe there's going to be some event in the city. ”
The old mercenary beside the two of them heard their conversation and carefully explained to them.
"Event?" Atticus looked puzzled, "Did I add any new festivals after I left?"
"Not really. The old mercenary shook his head and said, "But the banquets of the old men in the city are getting more and more luxurious. ”
"It's really funny. Atticas chuckled at the corners of his lips and said, "It's only been a few years? ”
"That's not something I can talk about. The old mercenary shook his head and retreated.
"It's boring, you've all been like this since you were a child. Atticas muttered.
This paladin is now completely shy away from Zhao Xi about some things, and even sometimes when he is happy, he will say that he will miss some important news, and I don't know if he is really stupid or deliberate.
However, Zhao Xi is not interested in the bad things of some nobles, especially which aristocratic love history, which aristocratic wives are lovers for others, etc.
Zhao Xi thought at first that Atticaus, who was a paladin, would be the kind of person who was very serious, but he didn't expect him to pretend to be a head of gossip.
Sometimes, when the paladin was in the middle of a conversation, he would stand up with a flushed face, wave his hands and continue to tell him loudly about some of the nobles' secrets.
Although Zhao Xi didn't know whether what this paladin told was true or false, he just listened to it as a story and didn't take it too seriously.
However, the protagonists of his story are some great people, and even Zhao Xi heard the names of the two counts.
What made him find it interesting was that these two counts were still a couple, well... Two male counts.
Just when Zhao Xi had some inappropriate pictures in his mind, a riot behind him attracted his attention.
"It's the team of the House of York!"
"Master Boris! I see Master Boris!"
"Young Master Boris, who is worthy of being known as the star of the principality, is extremely elegant in his every move!"
The sound of everyone's discussion reached Zhao Xi's ears, so Zhao Xi, the protagonist of the discussion, was also a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
After some thought, he finally remembered where he had heard the name.
It was when he was ostracized by many mercenaries, and two mercenaries compared him to this man named Boris.
The words of the two mercenaries were very respectful of this man, meaning that this person named Boris was called a true nobleman.
Zhao Xi didn't care much about this kind of false name, he was now interested in this person who was highly respected by the mercenaries, and wanted to know how "noble" this noble young master called the Principality Star was.
So Zhao Xi's body moved, and he rolled onto the roof of the car in three or two clicks, standing on a high place and looking at the luxurious team in the distance.
Zhao Xi originally thought that the carriage assigned to him by Buffy was luxurious enough, but in this team, it could only be regarded as the most basic carriage.
It is also common in this convoy to be more luxurious than the carriage they are sitting in, and there is a carriage that Zhao Xi can't help but be surprised when he sees it.
The carriage in the middle of the caravan looked unpretentious at first glance, but in fact, the transcendents present could feel the extraordinary fluctuations from the carriage.
However, there was a transcendent sitting in the carriage, but the whole carriage was a huge magical object, and it was still very powerful.
Although Zhao Xi really wanted to use the system to find out the specific information of this carriage, he finally gave up such an idea.
One is that this is Shodrea, in case some powerful mission discovers his system and causes any unnecessary misunderstanding, it will be troublesome.
Although his system is very pitiful, the function has not disappointed him, but everything is afraid of a case.
The second is that there are too many people in the distance, and he is afraid that the crazy influx of information after rashly opening the system will shock his consciousness and faint.
However, he observed something inside the magic carriage through the window.
A handsome brown-haired man with a kind smile on his face greeted everyone around him.
"It seems that this man should be the noble young master named Boris. Zhao Xi thought in his heart.
The most attractive thing about this man is his pair of Danfeng eyes, which can attract the attention of everyone around him.
But the fly in the ointment is that his lips are a little too thin, and the whole person looks a little mean.
Even a few small shortcomings can't hide the fact that the brown-haired man is attractive, which can be reflected in the performance of the girls around him.
Some of the girls around had already begun to exclaim when they saw the man, and kept kissing the man in the magic carriage.
"It's crazy. Zhao Xi said with a smile in his heart.
The actions of these girls reminded him of those fans who worshipped idols like crazy, and in their eyes it seemed that Boris was alone at this time.
Boris's surname also reminded Zhao Xi of some of the information he had read at the Viscount Castle.
The York family is not a small family, it is said that they have been inherited for at least a hundred years, and they are an old aristocrat with a certain history.
They were also one of the top nobles in Shydrea, and the current patriarch Eugene York was one of only three marquis of the Duchy of Eirel.
This Marquis of Eugene has been by the side of the Grand Duke since Xavier raised his army, and was the right-hand man of the Grand Duke Xavier, and was finally made a Marquis by the Grand Duke when he was feuding the country.
According to age calculations, this young master Boris in his twenties is likely to be the son of Marquis Eugene.
No wonder so many girls are crazy about it. Zhao Xi was complaining in a low voice.
The commotion did not last long, and when the people in the queue heard that Boris was coming, they gave way to their places and let the Eugene family's motorcade pass through the city gate first.
There was not a trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of these commoners who gave way, and everyone was willing to let the noble convoy go first.
"It seems that in the last few years that I have been away, Boris has mixed well!" said Atticas, smacking his tongue.
To be honest, he is actually quite envious of this kind of scene, but his current identity can't do it to this extent.
"Are you familiar with this Young Master Boris?" Zhao Xi turned his head and asked the paladin.
"Familiar," Atticas thought for a moment and said, "Familiarity doesn't count, it's just that we played together when we were kids." ”
"Sure enough!"
Zhao Xi sighed secretly in his heart, as Buffy's nephew, Atticas must also be a direct descendant of Valentine's family.
And he also played with Boris when he was a child, which shows that the status of both him and the family behind him is not low, and even the three marquis families are on an equal footing.
"It's the same as when he was a kid, it's still such a stinky fart. Atticas said disdainfully.
"Stinky fart?" Zhao Xi once again set his eyes on the brown-haired man in the carriage.
I saw that he had a modest and polite smile on his face, and waved his arms to the people around him from time to time, and there was no impatience on his face at all.
In this way, this man named Boris is really a humble and polite aristocratic young master.
However, Zhao Xi was also fresh, and he didn't have much interest in this noble young master, so he turned his attention to the long line.
He saw that most of the people who came to Shodria carried food on their backs, and other specialties were very few.
"Could it be that the food in Shudrera is so valuable?" Zhao Xi touched his chin thoughtfully.
It is only in troubled times and disaster times that the price of food rises wildly, but Shodria clearly does not belong to one of these two situations.
"Is there a food problem in Sydraria?"
Zhao Xi suddenly had a guess in his mind, but he wouldn't say it until it was confirmed.
The Yorkist team quickly passed through the city gate, and even the mercenaries guarding the gate did not stop it, but collected the corresponding entry tax, and the entire city gate returned to its original order, and the long line moved slowly again.
When it was time for lunch, it was finally Zhao Xi's turn to be in the caravan, and there was a long queue behind the caravan at this time.
However, it is not just that Shydria cannot enter or leave, otherwise so many people would have overwhelmed the city.
On the other side of the gate, there are also a large number of humans who are constantly leaving, most of them are civilians who choose to return home after trading in the city. Intercepted the mercenaries who left the mission, as well as the small merchants who were preparing to go to other cities.
Compared with entering the city, the supervision of leaving the city is much looser, not only there is no additional charge, but there is no need to queue.
However, the people who go out of the city will also consciously abide by a certain order, and if they really cause big trouble, the city defense army will not be polite to them.
The consequences of this have been challenged by enough warriors, and the corpses of those warriors have long been gnawed away by the wild wolves outside.
However, for these people, their purpose is to get rich and not to cause trouble, so they know how to save their lives better than anyone else.
Looking at the caravan that had completely entered the city, Zhao Xi, who had just arrived in Xiudraea, was already shocked by the prosperity here.
It's not so much that it's so bustling, it's that the streets are full of people in this context, and it's really shocking.
Looking at the shoppers with different hair colors and eyes in front of him, Zhao Xi had the feeling of living in a different world for the first time.
