CHAPTER XXIV
"Sander."
"The subordinates are here."
"Confiscate your next month's salary, you scumbag, who told you to give so much."
Lint said as he made a distressed look.
Sander "......"
Lint chattered as he observed the streets of the houses of Ironwood.
"This iron and wood city is very exquisite."
"It's nothing compared to Drifting Snow City."
Compared to Drifting Snow City, which can be regarded as a first-class city in the entire human realm, Ironwood City naturally cannot compete with Drifting Snow City, and Sander is not wrong to say so.
Lint shook his head,
He naturally knew that the gap between Ironwood City and Drifting Snow City could be described as the difference between heaven and earth, and the population alone was dozens of times worse.
Drifting Snow City is a megacity with a population of nearly 500,000, and Ironwood City has only 20,000 permanent residents thanks to Richard's efforts.
However, Lint's observation is more detailed, and he can see that the city's culverts, drainage, sewage, urban water supply and other public facilities are quite complete, the roads are spacious, and the various functional areas are also quite reasonable.
At this point, Drifting Snow City is a little chaotic, so that there are often major problems such as congestion or urban waterlogging.
"The person who designed the city is also a talent."
Although Sand was not as meticulous as his observation, he also knew some of the uniqueness of this city under Lin Xuan's prompting.
Ironwood City is not very big, and the two of them walked around the city for two hours and also looked at the whole city.
At this time, it was already time to eat, and Lint was also a person who never treated himself harshly, and he and Sander inquired all the way to find the best restaurant in Ironwood City to satisfy their appetite.
"Please, two of you."
Before they could reach the stairs, the waiter at the door came out and led them in.
The two followed the waiter into the store, probably because it was time for the meal, and the entire hall was almost full.
Sander frowned at the noisy crowd, as a henchman and bodyguard, he instinctively didn't want to dine with Lint in such a noisy environment.
The waiter is also a master who is good at observing words and colors, and seeing that the identities of the two seem to be unusual, he said:
"Two people, there is a private seat upstairs, but the price is ......"
"Lead the way."
"Alright, two guests upstairs."
Sitting on the second floor, Lint had a better look at the guests in the restaurant.
Through the order just now, Lint has a general understanding of the consumption standards of this store.
A table of good dishes probably costs one or two silver nar, you must know that this standard is not low, one or two silver nar is in charge of the life of an ordinary family for a month,
At least most of the territories are not consumed by commoners, except for aristocratic families, but most of the people who consume here do not seem to be nobles.
The people in the hall even looked a little vulgar, and if I could find the right word to describe them, they were a bunch of nouveau riche.
These people were a small group of people who first became rich under Richard's rule.
Mainly merchants, rich peasants, and petty officers, the Flying Bears were paid very well.
"Bang"
A loud bang caught Lint's attention.
A well-dressed gentleman had already done it at the front of the hall.
"Today, we will talk about Young Master Richard vs. Snow Thieves, protect the territory and the people!"
……
"Young Master Richard shouted, don't hurt my people! The snow thief was so frightened by Young Master Richard that he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he had to be caught! ”
"Good!"
As the people in front of the hall spoke, there were bursts of cheers from the people below from time to time.
"Whew!"
Unlike Lint, who listened with interest, Sand, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Sander, what are you laughing at?"
"Young master, this person's speech is too unreliable, how can there be a roar on the battlefield that can scare people into not moving, and it is fake when you hear it."
"Yes, but people don't tell you to be an insider, you see that the people below don't believe it."
"High, high."
Lint couldn't help but sigh in praise twice.
"Isn't that like a bard?" Xander was a little confused.
"It's different, I didn't think it before, but now I realize that the bard has gone astray."
"These people always make up some twists and turns and sing a few words while speaking, thinking they are elegant, but in fact, how many people can understand them.
You see that this storyteller is different, the story is simple and clear, everyone who listens can understand it, and after listening to it, you will know that this young master Richard is a good lord who loves the people like a son. ”
"So, let's go back to Drifting Snow City and learn to make up some stories?"
Sander asked with some uncertainty, this model is actually not difficult to learn, and with Lint's own hands, he may be able to do better than Richard.
"Are you going to talk about me or my father, or about the elders of the Ranster family?"
"This"
Sander was also speechless for a while, the Lancet family, as a wealthy family that has been inherited for a hundred years, is naturally not as simple as the Hunter family.
It would be good for a small noble family to have a knight to inherit the title, and the Lancet family could produce more than a dozen knights in a generation, so naturally there would be more ideas and struggles.
Lint shook his head and took a bite of food, intending to continue listening to the story, but the voice of a young man came to his ears.
"The table is quite spacious, and now the seat is full, I don't know if I can share a table with the two of you."
Lint turned his head and saw a handsome young man walking towards his table as he said this, bulging under his robe as if he were still carrying a weapon.
Xander stood up vigilantly and pressed his hand to his sword.
"Sander, don't get excited."
Lint waved his hand for Sander to sit down.
"It's okay to sit down, but ...... we ordered all the dishes at this table?"
"No problem, add two more dishes, a pot of wine, and drink together, and I'll make a host."
"Then, please be seated."
The young man arched his hand in gratitude, and then naturally sat down opposite Lint, while Sander still stared at the young man tightly, looking like he was ready to make a move at any moment.
"I see that you are a little faceless, not from this Iron and Wood City."
"We're here from Drifting Snow City to do some business in this Ironwood City."
The two of them chatted with each other, seemingly smiling, but they each scolded a little fox.
The two talked a lot of nonsense, and they actually talked a little bit about seeing each other late, only Sander listened a little misty on the side.
"I don't know what Brother Tai thinks about the situation in the kingdom."
Lint finally threw out a question that had been brewing for a long time, and then stared at the other party closely.
"Naturally, it is a prosperous era of flowers and fire, His Majesty the King is wise to govern, the court is full of sages, and the dragon knight of Zhenguo is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the kingdom."
The young man praised and said that Lint was a little confused, and then Lint raised his hand and pointed at the young man
"I have no grievances with my brother, why should my brother treat me as a fool."
"Amount"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked around, as if to see if there was a note on the surrounding pillars that said "Don't talk about state affairs".
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said:
"The prosperity of the kingdom is like a magnificent castle in the sky."
"Oh, how do you say?"
Lint finally showed his interest.
"Success is also a dragon knight, defeat is also a dragon knight."
