Chapter 388: Ordinary Little Things (1)
Caesar shrunk his body, curled up on the Iron Throne, his claws gently rubbed the polished handrail, he was too large, it was difficult to maintain his main form, imagine what a moving fifty-meter hill would look like, this guy's every move would bring great disasters to the surrounding creatures, so without fighting, Caesar began to use psionic ability to compress his body and maintain a suitable form of about five to seven meters.
The shrinking of the body also brought about a change in temperament, Caesar lost his majestic majesty in this situation, but this is what Luna likes, to be honest, the big stupid dragon is too big to say is really daunting, even she is the same, it is still more intimate like this, and this proposal was originally made by Luna.
Against the blazing afternoon sun, Caesar left the royal court.
Last night, under Luna's incessant whispering begging, Caesar had to agree to take her out to play in the commoner area of the royal capital, which he had created but rarely set foot in.
Along the Yanan Flower Street leading to the royal court, Caesar walked slowly outward, the Blackwing Empire was not as deep and dark and unbearable as described in the "Alien Threat Theory", even if it was close to the dragon's nest, the sun was still warm, and the two sides of the avenue were full of swaying Yanan flowers, exuding a fragrant smell.
Compared to humans, whether it is a dragon or a clan monster, it is indeed dirtier and smellier, but whether it is the royal capital or other parts of the empire, the imperial officials will pay a fee to hire people to clean the city every day, and there are humans and clans among these cleaners, even if this system alone, the Black Wing Empire is not said to be compared with the highly developed sun never sets, but it is definitely cleaner than those self-proclaimed civilized river countries.
The Eladians do not have the concept of "epidemic", and call it a curse, so it is difficult for them to have a complete concept of hygiene, whether it is the disappeared Northland countries or the standing rivercountry countries, in these small countries, even the ruler's palace has few private rooms (toilets), open defecation is normal in their eyes, the corners of the city streets are full of human and animal feces, household garbage, and countless removable sewage flows wantonly, and when it is accumulated to the point of unbearable, The rulers would ask the mages to remove all of them, but the city would fall into a new cycle.
Only a relatively developed country like a trading city-state began to have some systems necessary for cities, such as public baths, sewers, and garbage disposals, but even this could not change the problem of people not paying attention to hygiene and loving open defecation, and all these processes made Caesar instantly think of a ridiculous and funny story, and couldn't help grinning.
In 1579, the local judges of the trading city-state of Elantra proposed to the rulers of Elantra to try to prohibit the people from defecating in the streets around the town hall, which led to a large-scale riot. A delegation led by local craftsmen went to the Lord's Palace to protest against the judges' violation of the sacred "Liberty Decree" of the trading city-state, and the people claimed: "Our fathers defecated here, I defecate here, and my children will poop here in the future!" ”
Such a statement was widely supported at the time, and in the end, the frustrated lord had to admit that the Elantra of the trading city-state had a natural power to defecate in the open!
On the other side of the continent, the Black Wing Empire spent countless manpower and material resources to build perfect public facilities for residents to use at the beginning of the founding of the country, and in between, the Northland royal court also taught people a new word: fertilization - using manure to periodically water crops, even without the gift of the earth god, can still get a good harvest.
After knowing how to apply fertilizer, farmers who collected manure appeared in towns and villages, all of whom were hired for free and could share the burden of cleaning the city. In addition to this, the Empire has also enacted several coercive measures aimed at reversing many of the bad habits of the clans and humans under its rule.
"Caesar!"
Luna poked her head out of the thorns behind him, just like they did when they were kids, "You're giggling again, what's coming to mind?" ”
"Interesting stuff." Caesar continued on his way.
"Talk to me, talk to me!"
The marble palace and the fragrant garden were left behind, and the street of Yanan was at the end, and Caesar was talking to Luna as he turned to the Croisette, which, as its name suggests, was formed by two main roads that intersected and ran through the Imperial City.
With the central royal court as the core, it is divided into upper streets, lower streets, left streets and right streets, dividing the royal city into different areas for different classes and species of people to live in, Caesar and Luna walk aimlessly, although it will still attract a lot of attention, but it will not cause a sensation and riots.
After telling the story of Elantra to the little guy, Luna's expression was a little embarrassed, and she didn't understand the black dragon's laughter: "Then in that case, why do humans release their excrement?" ”
"Huh?"
Caesar was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that humanoids are just a name given by humans to goblins and elves, and in academics, such creatures are called elf creatures, and elf creatures will not excrete, otherwise Garcia was hung upside down for seven days and didn't know what would have become, and it was difficult for Luna to understand the meaning of the joke.
Luna didn't ask, the back of the crossroads is no longer as strict and cold as Yanan Street, both sides have gradually become prosperous, the Black Wing King is the largest city in the north, the streets are colorful and full of people. Taverns, warehouses and casinos line the streets, high-end and cheap brothels are close together, and the streets of the city are connected into a constant stream of markets, which are bought and sold day and night.
The wizened goats hunched over and sold goat's milk in clay pots tied to their shoulders; The boar man stared at the flow of people in the street with a stereotypical gaze, fiddling with the farm tools sold at his feet; Some of the two lizards and frogs of the West Coast also came here to shout and sell live sea fish in the lingua franca.
The air is filled with the smell of grilled meat and fried fish, as well as the smell of hot asphalt and honey, more or less mixed with oil, spices and salt.
Turning a corner, the little one's attention was quickly drawn to something else: "When did you have such a vendor here, pork sausages, creamy vegetables...... This sauce barbecue seems to be very fragrant, Caesar Caesar, I want to eat ......"
"When did you start to like meat?"
Caesar twisted his neck back to look at her: "And there are so many cooks in the royal court, you can let people cook whatever you want to eat." ”
"You don't understand, how can there be delicious food outside at home." Luna stared at the fragrant barbecue from the street vendors, and begged, "Caesar, can you go and buy it, now as long as they are in the city, they will do business with foreign races, even dragons." ”
