Chapter 46: Life in the City

Lots of rats?

Sean did remember that the little girl who bought the fruit had also said about it, when a peach was gnawed.

"Is it serious? I heard about it when I was shopping before. "The overall sanitary environment in this other world is certainly not as good as modern civilization, and garbage piles are often seen on the streets.

Fortunately, when I came to Brukan Avenue before, there were dirt pavements on other streets, and the whole street was very dirty because of the water on it all year round.

"I've heard about it, and the driver complained about it when I asked people to make deliveries before. On the other side, Esmeida also said.

"Is the rat boom in Koga a cyclical?"

"No, I've heard of it in the past few years, but I think it's more of it this time. "Esmeda hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but she had heard others complain so she thought it was more this time.

If there is no good means of prevention and control, it is indeed easy to encounter this kind of problem.

It's just around the beginning of spring, and if this season is plagued by rats, this year's harvest may be affected.

Koga is a large city in the southern part of the empire, and even if the harvest is not good, it can still be purchased from the outside world......

Sean looked at Claude peeling peaches, and he suddenly thought of a way.

"What if you planted fruit trees in Telemien?"

"Fruit trees, adults want to develop orchards. ”

"There's a lot of natural conditions around the town of Telemien, and I remember Luke saying that in the early years there was an orchard in the town, but it was destroyed in a fire. Sean had also read some of the records about the orchard, and almost every generation of barons would write a journal of the major events that had occurred, and he had continued to write this journal after the avalanche disaster.

But there is not much written about the orchard, but there are many previous ideas.

Reading between the lines, it was clear that Baron Vigel at that time was also eager to find a way to improve the living conditions of the townspeople, so he thought of a bunch of ways and finally got fruit tree seedlings from foreign merchants before planting them.

But since the fire broke out, it has only been written: the fire has burned down the entire orchard.

It's a few simple words with time, and then there's no other description that makes people feel weird.

"Orchard, that's a good idea. But the people in the town still don't know how to plant technology?" saw Esmerda's head appear in a state of [absent-minded!].

This girl was thinking about something else.

It seems that she has been in this state since she mentioned Luke.

That's fine.

He is the lord of Telemien, and all he has to do is just one sentence, and it is easy to disrupt himself by asking too many people's opinions.

What can you do if the town is already so poor, the big deal is failure.

Just find a few more ways.

"I'll talk to Luke about it, there's a coachman I'm familiar with at the trade market who can help get the news to the town. Sean said.

And the two sisters and brothers in front of them also suddenly stood up and said.

"If Lord Vigel needs help, just say it, and our brother and sister will help. ”

looked at the two siblings and nodded again and again.

Because of Luke's recommendation and the existence of favorability, Sean also chose to believe them.

........................

In the next two days, Sean needs to familiarize himself with the environment of Koga City, otherwise he won't know how to go out.

I thought I would buy a map to see first...... I was able to see the location and environment of various buildings on a map, and I wanted a map that depicted the entire urban environment individually in order to be able to see it clearly.

However, Claude told himself that it was difficult to find, as most of the maps were large-scale directions, such as the area around Koga City and the route distribution of various towns and cities.

In fact, there is also a map in the Skovey store, which is a large area of marking.

For example, the city of Koga is in the center of the map...... A few winding roads are drawn downward, and then the so-called town of Xiaowan is drawn to the west, and the southeast is a drawing of mountains with a special circle in it, and the town of Telemian is written.

As for the north side, as for the east side, it is almost the same depiction.

This is the kind of map that most people should use, just giving you the general direction so that you don't lose sight of where you want to go.

The map is not big......

Draw on parchment paper the size of a towel.

The scope of the paper is limited, and more importantly, the zoom of the map is so large that Sean can't see it more clearly.

In his eyes, the roads and mountains on the map did appear, and the city of Koga also appeared as a projection of a boxy city, but at most, as long as the towns marked on the map appeared, including his own town of Telemian......

But this is already the limit, and you can't see the whole city at all, let alone people.

Only the arrow of your own location remains the same, but because of the large zoom, your own position is almost the entire city!

If you have to describe it metaphorically: it's 'M' to open the map, and right-click to look at the big map, just to tell you where to go and not to the buildings in the city.

Unless you can find something like a schematic map of the city, you can see it clearly.

But Claude says that such maps are hard to find, and that travelers may have them, but they don't necessarily sell them because of the difficulty of drawing...... You'll have to try your luck.

Another thing Sean had written to Luke about his idea of rebuilding the orchard through the trade market convoy, and told him that he was now living in the Skovey shop......

The story of Esmaida and Luke, Sean also asks a lot about her brother.

Five years ago, when Luke was still a scholar, he met Esmeda, who was still helping his father in the store, and Claude was still young but knew about the relationship between the two.

As for the future~ Just like all the stories written in novels and scripts, the love story of a commoner in a mountain village and a wealthy businesswoman was hindered by reality and family, and later the two even thought about eloping, but after a certain conversation between the sibling's father and Luke, he left by himself.

No one knows what the two ended up saying......

As it turned out, Luke returned to the town where he was born to become a maester with the baron, and Esmelda became the heir to Skovey's shop, and the two were not in contact until the death of the old owner and the death of the previous Baron Vigel.

So far, the man has not married the woman and has not married, but he just does not connect.

It's going to take so much......

It's really the same ending as in all stories, but it's still touching to happen around you.

During the day, Sean usually went out so as not to interfere with the business of the Skovey family, and also to find the little girl who sold fruit at that time, I remember that she said that the peaches were grown at home, hoping to buy some seedlings from her.

But I didn't see her in the same location after two days of searching!

Is the other party still a mobile stall?

Sean, who was about to look around again, suddenly noticed that there was a special person in front of him in the blink of an eye.

About five meters away from him, there was just a slender back in the crowd...... But [Explore~] appeared above the other party's head

It's still a spell!
