27. Are you threatening me
The closer you get to the west gate of the city, the more frequent the stalls on both sides of the road, almost all of them are set up by nearby civilians. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Of course, there are also shops opened by civilians, but they are very rare, and most of them sell just ordinary household items.
After all, the Imperial City, even the houses in the civilian areas, most of them do not belong to the civilians themselves, but to the civilian power gangs managed by the local government.
Although it is a commoner gang, there are still nobles on it, the nobles protect and manage the gangs, and the commoner gangs protect and manage the commoners.
The corresponding protection fees are naturally handed over layer by layer.
The civilian area in the west of the city is managed by the Flame Snake Gang, and almost everything is managed by the gang except for the civilians themselves.
"Young Master, we're here"
"Okay" Ollistin quickly jumped out of the car and looked around.
Unexpectedly good!
The streets are neat, and the stalls on both sides of the busy market are constantly selling their wares. Everyone has a happy joy on their faces, and they don't seem to be worried about life.
"The life of the common people seems to be doing well," Ollistine was a little sad, in this case, it seems that he can not buy a cheap house at a low price.
"Young Master, what do you mean?" the groom was a little puzzled, not understanding what his young master wanted to do.
"I want to buy a house here, close to the entrance of the city... Preferably the first one... ā
"I see. Most of the houses in the civilian area are in the hands of local gangs, and a small part is in the hands of the civilians themselves, young master, you can go and ask, as long as there is enough price, they will definitely agree"
"Is that so," Ollistine said uncertainly, slowly walking towards the first civilian shop on the left street.
Seeing a depression in front of the door, and few people in the store, Olistin clearly saw that the thick dust on the counter had obviously not had any business for a long time.
Compared to the bustling shop across the street, where people go in and out, it's a world of difference.
It is precisely because of this depressed store that Olistin chose to visit this store first, and by the way, talk about whether it can be acquired.
"Stop! Small.. Brat.. You.. You.. No.. No. I can go in. Small. Be careful.. I. Beat you," there was a stammering sound coming from the side.
Ollistine turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
It is a group of ruffians resembling the ruffians of the earth, armed with sticks, chatting with each other, and laughing lewdly from time to time.
It was one of the civilians who spoke, and as he spoke, the attention of the others shifted to Ollistine.
There are doubts, warnings, envy, threats...
"Who are you, do you know who we are?" asked them first, before Olistine could speak.
"Whatever... ā
Syllable!
"Shut up!"
A sturdy man with a scar slapped the little brother who spoke just now. Immediately, he looked at Ollistin with a kind face and said very respectfully, "May I ask which honorable nobleman you are?"
He is not his little brother who has no knowledge, although the appearance of the clothes on the young man's body is not as gorgeous and bright as those of other noble nobles, but the material he happens to know, it is made of top-level extremely cold silk, for ice magicians, the magic robe made of extremely cold silk can help it sense the ice element, speed up the conversion of magic power, etc., at the same time, the extremely cold silk is also the best enchanting material, if it can be enchanted or engraved with magic patterns, it is also one of the best materials, the price is very expensive.
And for most of the fire-based professionals in the Blade Empire, wearing a clothing made of extremely cold ice silkworms is the best way to cool off, and of course, eating the ice cream that has appeared recently is also good to cool off.
The extremely cold ice silkworm keeps low temperature all year round, does not stain dust, has a high texture, and comes from the distant ice and snow empire, and the annual output is so low, it is not only the nobles in the aristocratic clothing, but also the nobles competing to show off and compete.
He was fortunate enough to meet his boss once, and after listening to the boss's explanation, he completely remembered the extremely noble and rare rare material of the Extreme Cold Ice Silkworm.
"Olistin-Markelle" Olistin introduced himself flatly.
"Marcelle?" Scar Man recalled the surnames of various famous nobles in Blade City, but he had no impression of the surname Marcelle.
"Forgive the villain's shallow knowledge, I don't... ā
"You civilians deserve your life, my lord is an earl!" the groom cursed, proudly introducing his noble name, as if the count was him.
"Cut, earl only~" The scar man lowered his head and muttered softly, his own boss is also an earl, and he is not inferior to the other party in terms of status, but the other party is an earl after all, and the corresponding face still has to be given.
"Dear Lord Macelle, what are you doing in this filthy civilian shop," the Scar Man bit the word 'dirty' in his tone. For the vast majority of nobles, commoners and them are people of two worlds, commoners are equal to slaves, equal to pigs and beasts, only waste bread, and have no use. In the eyes of the common people, the nobles are all big shots, magicians, just like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
But this is also part of it, and there is another part of the nobility with normal ideas, such as Olistin.
Ollistin experienced the idea that all people on earth are equal, and in his eyes, the only difference between nobles and commoners was that their ancestors did not have the opportunity to learn magic... In this world where magic is supreme, as long as you learn magic and become a magic apprentice, then you are the honorary alternate lord of the empire, enjoying the imperial lord's subsidy, but there is no real power, and only by becoming a junior magician can you truly become a noble lord, with lord subsidies and power.
"What's the matter with you," Ollistin glanced at Scar Man haughtily.
"This... Indeed" Scar Man lowered his head and said calmly, holding back his anger, although he has the strength of a high-level warrior, but the opposite is behind the earl, and he is just a civilian, once he makes a move, even if he is defeated, the final result can be imagined.
He can't do it, he doesn't dare to do it, he still has a wife and daughter to raise.
"But... Dear sir, the son of Earl Billy has a relationship with our gang, this is just a small private dirty shop, and there is nothing you want... "The scar man has something to say, Count Billy is my backstage, don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, and what you have in front of you is just a dirty civilian shop.
"It's better ... ā
"Are you threatening me?" Ollistine scoffed, his tone turning frightening, and his cold gaze on Scarman.
The last thing he is afraid of is threat~
The scar man was stared at by Olistine, and a strong sense of crisis appeared in his heart, and he shook his head again and again in fright.
"My lord, no, no... I was just... ā
"Get out!" Ollistin let out a flat roar, and Scar Man immediately closed his mouth.
