Chapter 045: The Scale of Taikoo Shing
The total number of cities owned by the ancient kingdom was no more than 1oo.
The scale is not large, the vast majority of the population is only 350,000, and the scale of large cities such as Taikoo Shing has a population of just over 60,000. It is the capital of the ancient country, known as the largest city of Camelot, with a population of only about 10,000.
The time to travel was fast, and Yasuo arrived at Taikoo Shing at noon the next day.
Like a normal city, Taikoo had thick walls, watchtowers, and drawbridges to protect against attacks from outside forces.
Five thousand Holy Light troops rushed in through the city gates.
From Yasuo's perspective, the streets of the inner city are curving and narrow, lined with shops and stalls of merchants and craftsmen.
During the day, there is a lot of traffic, and the business is thriving, and it is very lively.
But compared to Lol Cardin, the environment and living conditions in the city are poor, and the housing of civilians is cramped and poor, and garbage is thrown away at will.
What's even more striking is that even the streets have not been paved or sewers, and even on such a sunny day, it is dusty, so people have to be thankful that it is not a rainy day.
"Can you believe it? It is said that on one occasion, the Marquis of Gavi, the lord of Taikoo Forest, was walking down the street when he was vomited by a drunkard upstairs from a window. ”
Edward walked with Yasuo, telling anecdotes he knew.
It's just that Yasuo doesn't care about the drunkard who vomited Marquis Garvey's head, and what his fate will be in the end. Instead, he deliberately took a step behind, allowing Mentor Atto to take his place just now.
Parallel to Alvira, it fell on Yasuo's ears, and her tone was even more sarcastic, "The whole ancient country is like this city, strong on the outside, and there is no order in the middle. People drink and binge, as if they were nostalgic for the last day of the apocalypse. ”
"I agree with you, Miss Alvira."
Hearing that Yasuo actually echoed herself, Alvira Qingbo's eyes lit up slightly, but it didn't mean that she had a good impression of Yasuo.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be embarrassed for Christina. Again, she is not your handmaiden, and you are not her master. Alvira's eyes sparkled, her eyes filled with threats and warnings.
Along the way, this is not the first time that the other party has warned like this.
At times like these, no matter how stupid Yasuo is. also detected a hint in Alvira's relationship with Christina.
Lesbian, in Yasuo's memory, is also known as Lala, Lily, and ** Bian.
Yasuo still knows very little about this complex relationship, and it is precisely because of this that many times he can't understand the same-sex, how their world is different from that of men and women, and as for how to look at this relationship, because he doesn't understand, he has to choose to ignore it.
In fact, under Yasuo's observation, perhaps Alvira has a not-so-healthy affection for Christina. But Christina, she was only a last resort, for the purpose of temporary attachment and exploitation.
Yasuo only needs a simple method to prove this.
"My maid Christina, now I give you a chance to change your fate."
Yasuo stopped suddenly, noticing what he was saying. Alvira suddenly felt that her black pupils were filled with an unfathomable layer of evil spirit.
On the other hand, Christina, who was one step behind, still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were not as energetic as before.
When Yasuo asked, Christina's face was blank.
"Christina, there are two options before you now, the first is that I will resell you to Miss Alvira for one gold and become her personal maid."
As Yasuo judged, when he bit the words "personal maid" very hard, Christina's face instinctively showed a touch of resistance.
"The second option, stay with me. I will make you my vassal noble, or even the consul of a town. But you also need to start with my valet maid. ”
Quite different from Yasuo's playful eyes, Alvira glared at Yasuo fiercely. Then with warm eyes, he looked at Christina. There was softness in her eyes, like a dark ocean, hoping to get the answer she wanted from Christina's final.
Christina, however, reacted with a pained expression. The long, slightly upturned eyelashes fluttered up and down in confusion, and she shook her head at Alvira with difficulty.
"I'm willing to stay, stay in Lol Cardin."
Christina's white teeth were about to bite her lips purple.
"What did you say!?"
"I grant you the choice."
Yasuo was born at the same time as Alvira. However, the tone of the two men was very different.
As Yasuo had predicted, as a nobleman in the past, Christina understood what it meant to be a personal maid. If she had to sleep alone between Yasuo and Alvira, she would rather choose the former.
………………
Ignoring Alvira's approaching hysteria. Yasuo's perspective glided indifferently from the streets of Taikoo Shing.
The purpose of his visit to Taikoo Shing this time was not to travel.
The little episode just now, after all, was because of the previous dissatisfaction, Yasuo was happy to hit it, this stunner who even had a distorted physiological orientation.
According to the secret information in hand, the ogre of the Forest of Thorns is about to start an all-out war against the ancient kingdom. For a long time to come, Lol Cardin is likely to be cut off from the human world.
Lorcadan's exhibition will be inseparable from trade, and the search for trade with other races will be inseparable from gold coins.
After lunch at the Celestial Light in Taikoo Shing, Yasuo's first request to Edward was: borrow money!
"Did you really decide to do that?" When Edward saw the water bladder handed by Yasuo, it was full of totem liquid.
This is not simply a lot of value, but a great fortune, which makes Edward can't help but become strict.
"With this thing as a guarantee, I believe you won't be embarrassed. Edward, my realm needs gold and I am willing to pay a good interest on it. ”
Yasuo's request was simple, to give the totem liquid in this water bladder to Edward for safekeeping, and to borrow money from all the nobles and wealthy people in the ancient city.
It is only necessary to lend the gold coins to Lorkadin for a year to increase the harvest by fifty percent. I believe this is an investment that people can't refuse.
Coupled with the guarantee of Edward, the son of Hosen, if Lol Cardin is unable to repay it by then, the auction of the totem liquid filled with a water bladder will also be an astronomical amount.
