Chapter 1 The Prosperous Autumn Leaf City
The sky was hazy and drizzling.
On the muddy road, an old horse-drawn carriage with a mottled carriage left two deep rut marks.
A dilapidated shed was erected in the pile of goods on the carriage, barely covering Zhang Feng who was lying in the middle of the goods.
The raindrops followed the hole on the top and fell on Zhang Feng's face mercilessly, he tightened the tattered blanket with a rancid smell on his body, and sighed helplessly after tossing and turning.
In such a terrible environment, sleeping has become a luxury.
"Sir, I'm really sorry, there are some bumps on the road, which disturbs your sleep, please forgive me, I'll be more careful."
The coachman, dressed in a shabby linen coat, heard the commotion behind him, and hurriedly pulled the reins to slow the horse a little slower, and then turned back, revealing a brown-haired and blue-eyed face, and his apology was like the folds of his face, which could not be dissolved.
"It's okay, how much longer?"
Zhang Feng waved his hand a little awkwardly, he was not used to the other party's awe from the bottom of his bones.
It has been raining for two days, and Zhang Feng has been bumpy on the road for two days, and now he just wants to find a warm and comfortable hotel, eat a hot meal, take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep.
"At our current pace, we will be there in about half a day."
The coachman hurriedly replied that he had walked this road for decades and was very familiar with it.
"Can you hurry up, I'm sorry for you."
Zhang Feng threw aside the torn pantothenic blanket in disgust, revealing a pale green jacket, stretched his waist, and suddenly a cold wind blew, making Zhang Feng shiver.
He looked at the blanket at his feet, and suddenly fell into a tangle.
"Of course, it's my pleasure to serve you!"
The coachman grinned, showing a mouthful of green and yellow teeth, and then struck the horse's ass with a whip, and the old horse neighed, trot, and splashed muddy water.
"Bang, bang......"
On the shaking carriage, Zhang Feng grabbed the blanket with difficulty, pinched his nose and put it on himself again, and he prayed silently - before reaching Red Leaf City, he hoped that the carriage would not fall apart.
"Uncle, tell me about the situation in Red Leaf City."
I can't sleep anyway, Zhang Feng wants to know more about the situation in this world, and it is very important to know oneself and the other.
"Yes sir!"
The coachman organized the language for a moment, and then said:
"Red Leaf City is Baron Charles's territory, of course, not only Red Leaf City, but also the road we are walking on, the villages around Red Leaf City, the farmland, and the Black Rock Forest in the north belong to Baron Charles......"
"Red Leaf City is one of the largest cities in the Sunset Mountains, and it is a place that many civilians yearn for, but although Red Leaf City is large, it is not so simple to live in Maple Leaf City permanently......"
"How big is Red Leaf City, I can't say, it's big anyway, its walls are built of hard black stone, no beast can go beyond half a step, live in Red Leaf City, and never be awakened by wild beasts in the middle of the night, it took several years to build this city wall......"
"There are many shops in the Red Leaf City, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy! The merchants in the neighborhood are proud to open a shop in Momiji Castle, and I dreamed of having a shop of my own......"
"The most commendable thing in Red Leaf City is Baron Charles's castle, this castle is the most gorgeous and safest building in Red Leaf City, and the entire castle is made of black stone! It's a great honor for a civilian like me to get a closer look! The inside of the castle is even more ornate, and it is said that the tableware used by the lords is carved out of crystal, the floor is carpeted with gold wire, and the walls are decorated with gold and silver coins......
"In addition to the barons, there are naturally noble knights in Red Leaf City, who have the sharpest swords, the strongest armor, and the strongest horses...... With the protection of the knight lord, no one dares to make trouble in the baron's domain......"
"There are still ...... in Momiji City"
Listening to the coachman's continuous narration, a brilliant and magnificent red leaf city full of exotic customs was formed in Zhang Feng's mind.
Zhang Feng, who lives in a modern metropolis, still yearns for this kind of bustling city similar to the Middle Ages.
Zhang Feng was looking forward to it.
The coachman saw that Zhang Feng was listening carefully, and suddenly spoke even harder. These things, which were familiar to them, attracted the attention of a "nobleman", and the coachman was delighted.
Zhang Feng didn't know that he had been regarded as a nobleman.
"I heard that Baron Charles's wife is a beautiful woman like an elf, and any woman would be ashamed of herself in front of her, she is also a noble descendant, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted, and only Baron Charles can be worthy of her......"
"Speaking of this Baron Charles, he is also a legend! It's only been three months since I took office, and I have taken care of Red Leaf City in good order! ”
"Hey, Baron Charles has only been in office for three months?"
"Yes, Red Leaf City was the territory of another baron before, but the baron was choked to death because he was eating, Red Leaf City can't be left without an owner for a day, and then this territory belongs to Lord Charles."
"Wow, that's bad luck!"
Zhang Feng lamented that the world is impermanent, and he can choke to death when he eats......
Ay? It doesn't seem to be much better - I just quit my job, and on the way to climb the mountain with a few travelers, I somehow crossed over to this place where birds don't.
Yes, Zhang Feng is a traverser.
Although there was a strange door in his mind, Zhang Feng couldn't open it even though he tried his best.
The only consolation is that I seem to have been born with the language of this world, and I can communicate with people normally, and I will not see people staring at me.
Zhang Feng touched the backpack behind his back, this is some modern food prepared for tourism, according to the current level of science and technology, this is a technologically backward world. Rare things are expensive, and maybe these foods can become their first pot of gold.
Let's go to Red Leaf City first, it sounds like Red Leaf City is still very good, if there is no accident, Zhang Feng will settle in Red Leaf City.
It didn't take long for wheat fields to begin to appear, and the golden ears of wheat made people feel a lot better.
Some peasants were working in the fields with horses or oxen, and they looked at Zhang Feng with some curiosity when they saw Zhang Feng, who was obviously dressed differently from them, but when Zhang Feng looked back, they lowered their heads in fear.
Zhang Feng smiled at them friendly, but he scared these farmers a lot, so that Zhang Feng was not embarrassed.
The coachman didn't find these details, and still introduced Red Leaf City to Zhang Feng endlessly.
The rain slowly subsided, and many houses appeared in front of me, mostly wooden and a few adobe houses, which looked similar to the rural homes of more than ten years ago in another world.
"Now that I've seen the village, I guess it won't be long before I reach Momiji City, I don't know if I can see Baron Charles......"
Thinking that he would be able to see the most prosperous Red Leaf City in the other world in a while, and even see the nobles of the other world, Zhang Feng was still a little excited in his heart.
"Sir, we're here, and there's Red Leaf City ahead."
The driver slowed down the car and said respectfully to Zhang Feng.
"Huh? Arrived? Where is Momiji Castle? ”
Zhang Feng looked around with some confusion, except for the village in front of him, he didn't see any other gathering place?
"Sir, there's Red Leaf City ahead."
The coachman said, pointing to the "village" in front of him.
“? ¿”
Zhang Feng felt as if he had misunderstood something.
