Chapter 8 Angeles

The Anglias is located at the mouth of the Pizarro River, where most of the rivers converge throughout the Pizarro Mountains, and then the whole river goes all the way south into the sea.

It can be said that Angeles is the center of Pizarro, whether in terms of transportation, politics or economy, it is a veritable center of the whole of Pizarro.

For this reason, Angeles is the most prosperous city in Pizarro and the capital of Pizarro.

And the Garcia family, which occupied Angeles, naturally became the most powerful family in Pizarro, and the head of the Garcia family naturally became the governor of Pizarro.

However, although it is the most prosperous city in the whole of Pizarro, the total population of the city of Angeles is only 30,000, and most of the places except the aristocratic district are filthy and messy.

Angela entered through the east gate of Angeles, and the most prosperous place in Angeles was in the port area of the south gate, so it was not as crowded as expected, but some farmers wanted to go in and sell some hides, game, timber and the like.

The ground is a gravel road. However, it is much better than the muddy roads in other towns, but there are still all kinds of sewage on both sides of the road, and even in the middle of the road, there are often all kinds of animal feces.

From time to time, someone poured a basin of water, and all kinds of stench flowed, causing passers-by to shout and curse.

Most of the pedestrians on both sides were wearing thin clothes, holding their shoulders and curling their necks, and hurried by.

Avril opened the window in a hurry at first, but only for a while, she leaned on the edge of the window and looked out.

But after a while, he was discouraged, and muttered: "What, it's still Angles, it's bigger than the bazaar." ”

"This is the east gate, naturally, and it will be better if you go inside, after all, the really lively places are in the market and the port."

Jeromy rode up on his horse, smiling, and looking to be in a good mood at last, and said in a cheerful tone, "Miss Angela, we will go first to Alice's house, which is a gift from Miss Vivien to Miss Alice, where both Lord Aix and Miss Alice live. ”

Angela nodded, "Thank you." ”

I walked inside for a while, and sure enough, the surroundings gradually became lively.

There are more vendors on both sides, and at some intersections, bards can be seen singing and singing or acrobatic troupes juggling.

Grocery stores, tailors, blacksmiths, taverns, grain stores and all sorts of shops line the banks.

All kinds of sounds are intertwined, buzzing, and full of popularity.

Gradually, the carriage began to turn northward, and when it reached the apparently liveliest place, it came to an abrupt halt, and a towering wall blocked its way.

The Anglias is divided into three areas, the outermost of which is used for trading.

Built on a hillside, the area inhabited by local residents is called the Sunshine Zone because it is located north to south.

Then there is the northernmost Windfort, located at the top of the hill, where the lord lives.

This is also the starting point of the city, the original Anglesburg.

The Sunshine Zone is much better than the city, with the ground turned into a smooth stone pavement and a complete sewer system, which is noticeably cleaner than the rest of the city.

Because during the day, most people go to the city to work, and generally only the elderly, women and children are left, the number of old people is too scarce, and the women have to be busy with housework, or help some aristocratic and rich people to work and make money, so only some younger children are left to play in the streets.

However, now that the weather is cold, there are only a few children playing in the street, so it is very quiet.

However, even though the road surface is much smoother, the horse still consumes a lot of power, because the road surface is inclined upwards.

After walking some more distance, the carriage stopped in front of a stable.

The carriage in front of it could no longer walk, because either the slope was too great, or the road simply turned into a staircase.

Angela and the others got out of the carriage and walked up the stairs, and it didn't take long for the destination to arrive.

It was a small courtyard, and the housekeeper knocked on the door and gave the family coat of arms.

The servant looked at the family crest, then returned it, and hurried inside.

After a while, Alice took the lead and walked out, shouting in surprise, "Sister Angela." ”

Then, he pounced.

A stereotypical middle-aged woman frowned when she saw this scene: "Miss Alice, please pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

"Oh, yes, Mrs. Anger." Alice took a sullen step back, pulled the hem of her skirt and squatted on her legs, and woke up to Vivien with a ladylike salute.

Angela chuckled and reached out and tugged at Alice's face.

Lady Anger was once again in a rage: "This young lady, please respect Miss Alice. ”

"Come on." Angela didn't even look at the woman, picked up Alice and walked inside, saying as she walked, "I'm not a nobleman." ”

"Filthy civilians, put down Miss Alice."

As she spoke, Mrs. Anger beckoned the servants to separate Angela and Alice, but was stopped by Jeromy.

Mrs. Anger said angrily, "Your Excellency Jeromy, are you going to shield that civilian? ”

"That's enough, Mrs. Anger, Miss Anger is not a commoner." Jeromy said, "She is a guest of His Excellency James. ”

Mrs. Anger and Geralmy confronted each other for a while, and after all, his status was much worse than Geromy's, so he had to say, "I will inform Miss Avril." ”

Jeromy said indifferently, "Whatever you want." ”

As everyone enters the courtyard, Angela teases Alice and asks Jeromy behind her, "Who is she?" ”

"She was once Madame Belen's maid, and later married Anchor's steward of Windcastle, and Miss Vivien's wet nurse."

Madame Belen is Vivien's biological mother, and as her maid, her status is not low.

Don't think that the maid sounds a little similar to the maid and the slave girl, but the status gap between the two sides is huge.

A female slave is a slave, without any right to freedom in life, and no one cares if she is killed by her master.

A maid is a position held by a woman in a commoner family to work for the nobility, sometimes for money, sometimes for service.

As for the maid, the first threshold is that they need a certain family background, at least their parents must be knights, so their status can be imagined, even higher than some wealthy merchants.

The gap between the three is unimaginable, and the maid can even be said to be a quasi-nobleman.

And the housekeeper is the same, the status is the same as that of the maid, and it depends on the status of the master.

As the steward of the Wind Castle, the steward of the Garcia family's base camp is an honorary nobleman himself, and his status is only half a level lower than that of the lord noble, and he is on par with the secretary and the like.

That's why Mrs. Allen is so confident.

But Angela didn't care, she sighed, stopped caring about him, and asked about Aix.

I learned that Aix had become an apprentice knight, and he practiced like a dead dog every day, and as for now, he should still be training hard in the barracks.
