The nobility had very much power in their fiefdoms, collecting taxes, making laws, and having great power in politics, economics, etc. Also effectively loyal to their knights, they often decide the fate of many people.

The nobles lived in comfortable manors, enjoyed delicious food carefully prepared by their servants, lived an elegant and luxurious life, and usually hunted. Attend parties, talk about life, music, literature, compare the luxurious jewelry on your body, and show off your wealth.

The farmer lived in a thatched hut and worked in the fields for the nobles to enjoy, and the gardener diligently tended the nobleman's garden, the servants. Lady-in-waiting took great pains to serve their master.

Their fate was decided by the nobility.

The horse rode about 20 kilometers along the riverbank.

He saw the first major tributary of the Enzo River, the Marne.

The waters of the Marne, which originate in Swan Lake, flow into the Enzo River.

The Marne River is lined with a large number of merchant ships.

These merchant ships belonged to certain nobles, or certain merchants.

Merchant ships transported grain, linen, bronze ore, timber, cereals, and other raw materials from the shores of Swan Lake to the nearby largest commercial city, Marani, to be sold, and then transported back to the city for processing. For example, bronze vessels, pottery, grease. Liquor and various crafts and other goods are highly profitable.

The shrewd Phoenicians had a very high talent for business.

On the bank of the Marne side, there is an improvised crossing.

There are some rafts moored at the ferry.

The Phoenicians' penchant for making money was in their bones.

On the raft sat or stood a boatman, waiting for guests who wanted to cross the river and earn some money.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyao coming, he greeted Gu Xiaoyao with very high enthusiasm to take his boat.

Gu Xiaoyao chose a relatively large raft.

Paid 3 Copper Seth Coins.

2 Copper Seth coins. The horse asks for 1 copper Seth coin.

1 Copper Seth coin can be used to buy a piece of brown bread.

After crossing the river.

It's not too late to see that it's getting dark.

Gu Xiaoyao stepped up his journey.

Arrived at a farmstead before dark.

The farmstead was a fief of a small country nobleman called Aster.

In addition to the farmstead, he also has an estate, a small lake that produces an economic fish called oolitic. A forest for timber, a forest for sugar, and a grain shop in the city.

These can bring 120 gold mats to Asst every year.

Very rich.

Asst warmly welcomed Gu Xiaoyao and treated Gu Xiaoyao with delicious food.

After all, knights are not only very powerful, but also have a very high status in society. If they wished, they could pledge allegiance to a nobleman and receive a knight's fief and a handsome sum of money.

Especially a wandering knight like Gu Xiaoyao, who hones himself through experience, his strength is far stronger than that of ordinary knights, he looks like he has been in the dust, he has traveled a lot of places, he has rich experience and is well-informed. Very respectable.

After Gu Xiaoyao easily defeated a dozen people with the knight's sword in his hand.

Asst became more enthusiastic, and from time to time he revealed that he wanted to recruit Gu Xiaoyao.

As long as Gu Xiaoyao swears allegiance to him with the knight's sword in his hand, he can be awarded a 100-acre knight's fief and 10 gold per year.

Gu Xiaoyao refused.

The next day, Gu Xiaoyao left the farm and continued on his way.

In the afternoon, arrive in the nearby city, Marani.

Paid the entrance tax of 2 copper Seths.

Gu Xiaoyao led his horse and walked around Malani City casually.

The city of Marani is very bustling. There is a lot of people, and there are various shops on both sides of the street. It sells a variety of goods, pottery, bronze ware, sake brewing, olive oil, various crafts, and more.

In the east of the city of Marani. There is a trading market.

In the trading market, timber, grain, linen, cane sugar from the upper reaches of the Ndzo River. Copper mines, tin ingots, carpets, precious stones, textiles, glass vases, wax and other goods from the lower reaches of the Undro River all meet here.

There are a lot of merchants here, and it is very lively, and tens of thousands of gold mat goods are traded here every day.

Gu Xiaoyao stored his horse outside a trading market.

Approaching the trading market, I took a casual look.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoyao stopped in front of a stall.

A few pieces of wood were placed on the stall.

Gu Xiaoyao picked up a piece of wood and looked at it, the wood is very large, very straight, the wood is hard, unusually heavy, the surface is smooth, dense, the texture is delicate and floating, although the irregular cow hair pattern and crab claw pattern, the color is deep, and the longitudinal section has cloth checkered pattern, like the tile roof on the pile of layers of structure.

Gu Xiaoyao picked up the wood and put it in his nose and smelled it, there was a smell of sandalwood, and the aroma was mellow.

This is sandalwood.

Very fine sandalwood.

A few pieces of sandalwood placed here are just samples, and more of the goods are in the warehouse.

Although sandalwood is very expensive on the earth, but here, it is not very expensive, as long as a dozen gold coins, relative to the earth, it can be said that it is the price of cabbage!

Leaving the bazaar, Gu Xiaoyao looked around again, and did not find a very powerful person, it seems that this place should be in the ancient martial era, otherwise, he would not be called a god if he rushed out of the end of the river!

In the following months, Gu Xiaoyao has been touring this underground space, and what makes Gu Xiaoyao feel the most amazing is that at the end of this river, there is actually another whirlpool, which is likely to lead to a deeper underground!

Considering that the sea water above the earth does not mean to dry up, it must be that this deeper underground also has a passage to the surface, so that the sea water forms a circulation!

In order to verify that the whirlpool at the end of this is the same as the one at the beginning, Gu Xiaoyao teleported directly to the source, but now the source is different, on the shore of the source, there is a tall portrait erected, the whole body is even more gilded, and the face is exactly the same as himself, what is the situation?

"God, you have finally returned, and your servants are waiting to hear your instructions!" An old man trembling slightly walked up, knelt in front of Gu Xiaoyao and said! They weren't surprised that Gu Xiaoyao could appear out of thin air, this was a god, if he couldn't achieve such an effect, how could he become a god?

Gu Xiaoyao was stunned, but it is understandable that this space is still a slave society, and they desperately want a god to enter the theocratic society, after all, society is developing!

So Gu Xiaoyao accepted their worship with a big smile, ascended to the throne of divine power, and knelt down a large area of hula below, and at least a million people! (To be continued.) )
