Chapter 57: Nobility
It's a pity that his heart is higher than the sky and his fate is thinner than paper, and he blindly traveled far away by learning swordsmanship with a veteran sergeant, but he was easily killed by a group of goblins when he slept in the middle of the night, and he didn't even have time to pull out the sword, and he was sucked dry of blood alive, which was extremely sad.
As for this servant, he is an outcast without a master, and even the villages and towns will not take him in, let alone the nobles, so he can only choose to become a rogue or monster food, and of course suicide is also an option.
Yan Xu is strong, clean and confident, his momentum is stronger than the most noble nobleman he has ever seen, and he has skills comparable to that of a knight, although he is naked, but this cannot hide the light emitted by the other party, there must be some unavoidable accident that has made him fall to such a point, it is the best time to put his effect in.
As an excellent servant, Hammy was very confident in his vision, so he didn't hesitate to kneel down and hug his thighs. As long as he has a new master, he does not have to become an outcast, he does not have to be tragically hanged by nobles, eaten by monsters, or starved to death in the wild.
In this era, even the aristocracy was not all educated, and those who could read and write were considered literate people, at most they knew more about the outside world and broadened their horizons, which showed that they were different from the mud legs who only knew how to stare at the dirt under their feet.
Yan Xu has commanded tens of thousands of troops, experienced many wars, and can scare a bunch of people to death just by reading a lot of books, and his natural temperament is extraordinary, and no one believes him when he is an ordinary person, because ordinary people can't pretend to have this temperament no matter how much they disguise it.
After Hami untied the binding, he quickly retrieved a ring and a piece of parchment from his dead former owner, the former was a noble seal, on which was a pattern representing a certain noble family, and the parchment was similar to a family tree, with the first generation of ancestors, that is, the generation of ancestors who were canonized as nobles, and the other ancestors were not recorded at all, and then the successors of each generation to inherit the title of lord.
These are important documents to prove the identity of the noble, and you must show these things when communicating with strange nobles, unless you are famous all over the world, if you dare to pretend to be a nobleman without these, it is estimated that you will die a miserable death.
Yan Xu was very glad that he had saved a useful person, as a servant of a nobleman, if he wanted to work or live, he had to be familiar with everything about his master. Although his former master was only a lowliest lord, he had passed down the knowledge for several generations and accumulated some aristocratic knowledge, which was enough for him to integrate into this world as a nobleman in a short period of time.
Goblins have low intelligence, and although they know how to use weapons, they don't know the role of other things, so Hami is very happy to find the luggage, which contains several clothes and accessories representing nobility, and it is not easy to buy them if they are lost.
An extra salute makes the two of them seem more normal, after all, unless they go out for a walk, otherwise the salute is necessary to carry, otherwise sleeping in the wild will cost people's lives.
Before leaving, Hami also cut off the ears of several goblins, which can usually be exchanged for some bounties in villages and towns, making Yan Xu sigh that he still needs to learn a lot if he wants to integrate into this world.
In ancient times, going far away was a very dangerous thing in itself, and if you were hundreds of miles away from home, you could already do a funeral at home in advance. It is even more dangerous to go out of the other world, not only wild beasts, poisonous insects, diseases, robbers, but also all kinds of man-eating monsters, if you don't have two brushes, nine out of nine will die without a place to be buried.
Fortunately, the roads between human settlements will be cleared by nobles who regularly send patrols or adventurers, otherwise all human settlements will become isolated islands and eventually be swallowed by the tide of monsters.
Except for a wild wolf on the road, Yan Xu and the others did not encounter any more dangers, but had an extra wolf skin and two wolf hind legs.
Perhaps it was close to the gathering place, so the smell of blood from the wolf's legs didn't attract any dangerous creatures, and the two of them safely came to the nearby town, Fruit Wine Town.
This is a town different from ancient China, surrounded by a circle of wooden stone walls more than two meters high, with two village guards standing at the gate, and two guards with short bows standing on the watchtowers on both sides, obviously life here is not peaceful.
Standing on the slope, Yan Xu can clearly see the town at his feet, the scenery is not very wonderful, it is full of all kinds of low and ugly buildings, in order to save land, these buildings with complex material sources are all next to each other, the streets are also very narrow, and there is no sewer system, resulting in the crossflow of sewage on the street, the whole town looks dark and damp, and you can smell a smell from a distance. The pedestrians on the street were poorly dressed, sallow-faced, and apparently chronically malnourished, and generally did not look like a wealthy place, nor a good place to live.
Some disappointed to walk down the slope, before they approached the gate, they saw two village guards coming from strangers and vigilantly surrounded them, and the bow-wielding guards on the watchtower also put wooden arrows on short bows, obviously if something was wrong, they would shoot the wooden arrows in their hands, so that the other party could taste the benefits.
Of course, under normal circumstances, they don't know how to shoot arrows, not to mention the rough workmanship of bows and arrows, their archery skills alone are enough to make them cautious, otherwise they will be in great trouble if they shoot their own people, and they will definitely be beaten by the other party, because wooden arrows are difficult to shoot people.
Not only do monsters eat people here, but humans are not harmless, and if you want to live for a long time, you must be wary of everyone, so many villages and towns do not welcome outsiders, and even refuse their entry.
"Outlander, this is Baron Thrall's domain, tell me where you come from?!" A village guard didn't immediately pull out his short sword, because Yan Xu's temperament was not an ordinary person, nor was he a mercenary or adventurer, he was very much like a nobleman, not to mention that a piece of iron-clad armor was not cheap, so don't get yourself into trouble.
There was no fool who could be sent to watch the door, because fools never lived long, and the village guard did not intend to end his life early, so he was very cautious and did not immediately open his mouth to chase people out.
"Damn untouchables! This is Lord Tyson, don't disturb the adults to come into town to rest! Get out of here! Hami rushed forward very doggedly, not at all afraid of the short sword that the other party pulled out because of the frightened, pointed at the other party's nose and said viciously.
The other party hurriedly lowered his head and took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Yan Xu's chest, there was an inconspicuous pattern on the leather armor, which proved the other party's rhetoric, and it was indeed a nobleman.
The guards on the watchtower also quietly withdrew the wooden arrows into their quivers, and it was a great crime to use weapons against the nobles, and they were very glad that their actions were not discovered, otherwise they would be dead.
The identity of the nobleman is more useful than imagined, in order not to be suspected, Yan Xu suddenly put on a majestic look, saving goofs. Although the body of the freshman is very young, where is the experience, Yan Xu has a straight face, and the bluffed few people almost didn't kneel. Of course, most of this is a psychological effect, try to change the orc, no matter how big the spectrum is, it will not affect the appetite of the orc, and it will definitely gnaw you to the point that there is not even a bone left.
As soon as he stepped into the town, Yan Xu had an urge to turn his head and run wildly, this Nimana is a place where people stay, and the toilets are cleaner than this!
Yan Xu saw a woman pour the toilet out of the window without looking, and the golden thick material splashed beautiful water on the ground, all of which were sprinkled on the feet of a passerby, which was enough to cause a brawl or a scolding accident in modern times, and here the other party shook it off and walked away without care·····
Passers-by who took out tools to sprinkle water on the spot, garbage discarded at will, livestock that no one took care of were free to pull on the street, and bare-bottomed children rolled in the mud with pigs, now Yan Xu knew where the thick sludge on the streets of the town came from.
Nima, the survivability of this otherworldly human is simply off the charts, and the shell lang is not so good!
Almost with the determination to go to the execution ground, Yan Xu took a crucial step with a somewhat deadlocked expression, and the soft touch of that kick almost made him feel the urge to kill, and he couldn't wait to drag the manager of this town out for three days and three nights and then use it to mop the floor!
Although the town is almost concentrated in garbage dumps and toilets, the sense of security brought by the stone walls and village guards is not something that savages can enjoy, and for the inhabitants of the village, being kicked out of the town is already quite a terrible punishment, so they are quite proud of their status as village residents.
However, this pride suddenly disappeared in front of Yan Xu, who was brightly clothed and had a servant, although he did not kneel down and bury his face in the mud like mud legs, he also had to bend down deeply to salute to show respect for the superior people.
Yan Xu, who was upset and irritable by the harsh environment, endured his temper and walked all the way with a straight face, which proved the residents' guess that this was a real superior person.
Finally led by Hami to the tavern in the town, the smell of wine mixed with vomit fermentation is not much better than on the street, but he has no choice but to integrate into this world, these are the things that must be experienced, unless he becomes a lord himself, then he can naturally issue decrees at will.
Even if it is daytime, the tavern is still very dark, after all, with the current construction technology, it is obviously unrealistic to open the windows in a large area, just to keep warm, safety and prevent people from eating overlord meals to escape is a big problem, so in addition to the two small windows for cats, the tavern can only rely on a few torches on the wall as lighting tools, the wind blows the fire and shakes, making the tavern people sway, revealing a ghostly atmosphere, plus the drunkard lying in the corner, it is really the same as a haunted house.
There were a number of mercenaries in the tavern, dressed in rudimentary linen clothes with a lot of broken leather sewn on them, and they tried to protect themselves as much as possible, and their weapons were varied, including iron-clad wooden clubs, wood knives, logging axes, half-cut one-handed swords, short swords made from rusty spearheads, and wooden shields with moss, and nothing decent anyway.
