They offered food, fruits, and flowers to Chen Rui.

Many followers who claimed to be gods gave up their status, wealth, family, honor, etc., and swore to follow Chen Rui, including some nobles with extremely high power, scholars with high social status, and big businessmen with great wealth.

They built huts around the temple by the Endra River, and the spear huts dwelt in.

Before the temple was built, Chen Rui left here and planned to travel around, he wanted to understand the civilization of this land in more detail, their culture, the life of the people here, the customs and so on, rather than to understand the land in general through books.

By the way, learn the language of the Phoenicians.

Just do it.

Chen Rui put on an ordinary Phoenician costume, dressed up, and pretended to be a wandering knight who was in the dust.

Chen Rui left here and began to travel, one person and one horse.

Chen Rui set off downstream along the bank of the 'Enzhuo' River, took out a camera from the pregnant Haizhu space, and began to shoot along the road like a documentary.

The further downstream, the wider the river became, and the river rushed downward, nourishing the land along the river and nurturing the Phoenician civilization.

Along the river, the land is very fertile, and there are many farms.

Each farmstead and the nearby forests, rivers, lakes, etc., belonged to the fiefdom of a nobleman.

Just like the aristocracy of the Middle Ages in Europe, they had noble status, noble blood flowing in their veins, they paid attention to genealogy, and emphasized titles. Emphasis on origin. The aristocratic group is a closed group. It is difficult for the lower class to become nobles.

The great nobles had a large amount of territory, castles, commercial assets, and merchant fleets, amassing a lot of wealth, and the minor nobles owned a number of farms, estates, and plantations for some cash crops.

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

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

The farmer lived in a thatched hut. In the fields worked for the nobles for their enjoyment, the gardeners diligently tended the nobles' gardens, and the servants and maids worked diligently to serve their masters.

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, and timber and cereals from the shores of the Swan Lake to the nearby largest commercial city, Marani, to sell them, and then brought them back to the city to process goods such as bronze vessels, pottery, oils, wine, and various handicrafts for high profits.

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 Chen Rui coming, he greeted Chen Rui with very high enthusiasm to take his boat.

Chen Rui chose a relatively large raft.

Paid 3 Copper Seth Coins.

The man asks for 2 Copper Seth coins, and the horse asks for 1 Copper Seth Coins.

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.

Chen Rui 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 farm, he had an estate, a small lake for an economic fish called oolitic, a forest for timber, a sweet forest for sugar, and a grain shop in the city.

These can bring 120 gold mats to Asst every year.

Very rich.

Astor warmly welcomed Chen Rui and treated Chen Rui with delicious food.

After all, knights are not only very powerful, but also have a very high status in society, and if they want to, they can pledge allegiance to a nobleman, and thus receive a knight's fief and a large sum of money.

Especially a wandering knight like Chen Rui, 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, he is well-informed, and he is very respectable.

After Chen Rui easily defeated more than a dozen people with the knight's sword in his hand.

Asst became more enthusiastic, and from time to time revealed that he wanted to recruit Chen Rui.

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

Chen Rui refused.

The next day, Chen Rui 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.

Chen Rui led the horse and walked around Malani City casually.

The city of Marani is very bustling and full of people, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of goods, pottery, bronze ware, wine, olive oil, all kinds of crafts and so on.

In the east of Marani City, there is a trading market.

In the trading market, timber, grain, linen, sugar, copper ore, tin ingots from the upper reaches of the Undro River, as well as carpets, precious stones, textiles, glass vases, wax and other goods from the lower reaches of the Undro River 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.

Chen Rui stored his horse outside a trading market.

Approaching the trading market, I took a casual look.

Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped in front of a stall.

A few pieces of wood were placed on the stall.

Chen Rui picked up a piece of wood and looked at it, the wood was very large, very straight, the wood was hard, unusually heavy, the surface was smooth, dense, the texture was delicate and floating, although the irregular cow hair pattern and crab claw pattern, the color was deep, and the longitudinal section had cloth checkered patterns, like the tile roof on the tile house layer by layer of stacked structure.

Chen Rui 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. (To be continued......)
