Chapter 141: As soon as I got in the car, I took off my clothes in the heat
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
For the research of steam engines, Zhang Feng can't be said to be perfect, but he can barely be regarded as an expert.
Five other steam engines have been built, two have been placed in the Blackstone Forest for mining, and two have been placed outside Momiji Castle to build a new city wall.
As for the remaining one, it was requisitioned by Zhang Feng and used to make his exclusive car.
Although he already has Fat Da and Xiaobai, they all have their own limitations, at least in terms of comfort, they are still comfortable in the car.
In particular, the interior space of this car designed by Zhang Feng is very large, which is convenient for various activities inside.
In a four-storey factory, two steam cars are parked next to each other.
A huge, almost ceiling-high car.
This is the steam car named "Red Leaf Steam No. 1" by Zhang Feng a week ago, but now it has changed a lot compared with a week ago, and the most intuitive change is big!
The exaggerated nose, front shovel, huge chimney, exposed rivets and gears, and the car with an astonishing capacity...... A violent aesthetic that belongs to steampunk comes to life.
And in comparison, it is a miniature car next to it.
Of course, the "small car" is relatively speaking, in fact, it is not small, according to Zhang Feng's body type, this is completely a small RV.
Its appearance is the same as that of the "Momiji Steam One", which has a strong steampunk style, but it is more refined, and the whole car is shiny golden yellow!
This car has been strengthened by Zhang Feng from the inside to the outside with "turning stones into gold", although it cost a lot of gold coins, but the quality is definitely not to be said!
It's just a little too flashy, and Zhang Feng's eyes hurt a little.
As for the interior of the car, which is as luxurious as its appearance, the cab separation mode is adopted, the cab is large, more than enough for four people, and it can also put a lot of things, such as weapons and equipment.
The rear seating area is covered with a variety of precious furs, luxurious and soft seats, soft collapses, folding dining tables, and even electric lights and Xiaoice boxes.
The electric energy in the car comes from a small generator, which Zhang Feng brought from modern times.
And these cars are also equipped with a lot of bulletproof glass, which is also not a product of this world.
Even from a modern point of view, this car is absolutely luxurious in terms of exterior and interior, and if you want to say that its only drawback, it is that the car takes a little bit longer, after all, it is still a steam car, and it is already very good to be able to make it like this.
Looking at the two big toys in front of him, Zhang Feng was a little eager to try.
For the training of drivers, Zhang Feng had already started when the steam engine was manufactured, and after so many days of study, these people had almost learned.
Zhang Feng found a temporary driver and asked him to drive the golden car to the gate of the castle.
I have to say that Zhang Feng has worked the design here, for the slightly noisy steam engine, Zhang Feng used a lot of soundproofing materials, and he can still accept it when he sits in it.
As soon as this golden car came out, it caused no less sensation than the previous "Red Leaf Steam No. 1".
"Wow! This car is made of gold! ”
Someone saw this golden car on the road and was a little incredulous.
"This ...... It should be, right? ”
Everyone is not sure that this shiny thing does look like gold, but who can build a car out of gold so extravagantly? How much gold does this cost?
"And there are so many crystals on this car! What a luxury! ”
Soon news came that this was the city lord's special car!
After hearing these news, everyone suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be the city lord's special car, so it's okay!"
"Only the lord of the city can have this strength!"
"I really want to see what it's like inside......"
“……”
All the way to the gate of the castle, just in time to see Erica coming out of the castle.
As soon as Erica went out, she heard a clang, and she turned her head in confusion to see a steam car slowly parked in front of her.
"Master?"
Seeing this car, Erica's first thought was Zhang Feng.
Because this car is too similar to the one she saw before, but that one is not a golden car, although she doesn't know how Zhang Feng did it, but she is sure that it is Zhang Feng.
Sure enough, Zhang Feng rolled down the window.
He spoke to Erica:
"Are they all in the castle?"
Erica knew who this "they" meant, and she hurriedly replied:
"Lady Caroline and Lady Zhang Xiaotang are in the Black Rock Forest, instructing them to use the steam engine, Lady Amy is riding Xiaobai, practicing with the wolf cavalry in the wild, Lady Tina, I don't know very well, it seems to be with Lady Caroline."
"That is, there is no one in the castle."
Regarding Erica's mistake of calling these people Mrs., Zhang Feng didn't bother to correct it, he spoke directly.
"Then you and I can feel it, get in the car."
Got something good, how can it be done without anyone to share.
"Yes, master!"
For Zhang Feng's order, Erica naturally would not refuse, Zhang Feng opened the car door, and Erica stepped on the pedal.
Erica was also involved in the construction of the car, but it was the first time she had seen the final product.
"It's hot!"
As soon as she entered, Erica felt very warm, even warmer than in the castle, and she was suddenly a little hot when she had just put on a thick dress.
Especially after seeing that Zhang Feng was dressed very thinly, she subconsciously wanted to take off her coat.
Before Zhang Feng could speak, he saw Erica say that it was hot as soon as she got in the car, and even had to take off her clothes?
He always wondered if this was Erica's hint.
"Lord, master? What's wrong? ”
Erica looked at Zhang Feng with a strange look in her eyes, and Erica was a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay, come here."
Zhang Feng beckoned, Erica quickly put her coat away, took off her shoes, and obediently knelt beside Zhang Feng's legs.
"Master~"
"Sensible, come and give me a massage."
Zhang Feng likes Erica's sensibility, and after a glance, she knows what to do.
Opening the mechanism, Zhang Feng let his seat lie down half-lying.
"Yes, master!"
Erica came to Zhang Feng and knelt down, then held Zhang Feng's forehead and let him lean on his chest, moving very gently.
"Master, is this strength enough?"
"Good, but you get closer."
"That's it."
Erica bit her lip, and her whole person was attached to Zhang Feng's body.
"Well, not bad, comfortable!"
Zhang Feng picked up something similar to a phone and told the driver to go around the city, he wanted to feel if there was anything wrong with this car.
Although it has snowed heavily since the other day, it does not affect the driving of the car.
Dudu Du, the golden car left Red Leaf City in the envious eyes of people all the way.
……
The caravan led by Marlowe finally arrived in a large city.
This is the terminal for some merchants.
Their group was very smooth, there was no snow since they came out of Red Leaf City, and they passed through two cities in total, which was the third city.
Judging by the map, they are already halfway there.
But today, it looks like their luck has run out, and the sky is snowing again.
The snow in the other world, either it doesn't fall, if it does, it's goose feather snow, and it's also accompanied by a biting cold wind, and people who don't have some experience and good physique are estimated to be unable to come back when they go out.
But they finally came to a city of considerable size, and they could take a break for a while.
"Is this the largest Silver Pine City in the north of the Buck Kingdom?"
Rat Daqiang looked at the city not far away and asked with some curiosity.
"That's it."
Marlowe nodded.
They had walked for so long before, and they had passed through two small cities.
It's a little stronger than the previous Red Leaf Castle.
As for Marlowe saying that they were from Red Leaf City, the other party's city lord didn't believe it at all and turned Marlo away. After all, Marlowe and these people are all fully armed, and now it is a difficult time for life, and the city lord is afraid that the other party is coming to rob.
In the end, it was the merchants in this small city who came forward to prove it, and when the city lord heard that there was such a city, he was immediately shocked, and he quickly invited Marlowe and them to go in to rest, but Marlowe ignored him and camped directly outside.
Although Marlowe had no intention of doing business in the city, it was one thing whether he would go or not, and it was another thing to be turned away.
How can he say that he has been following Zhang Feng for so long, both in terms of knowledge and morale, although he doesn't care about these people, he is still a little unhappy after all.
Hopefully, the lord of this city won't be so rude.
But fortunately, a large number of them, as soon as they came to the gate of Silver Needle City, someone saw it and reported it, and when Marlowe and them walked to the gate of the city, someone asked, and Marlowe naturally reported his home.
Hearing that these people are from Red Leaf City, many people on the city wall are looking at each other, this city, they have not heard of it at all.
But fortunately, some of the merchants in the caravan were terminally located here, and they knew each other with these soldiers defending the city, and after communicating and confirming their identities, they opened the city gates.
After all, this is a big city, and it has the heritage of a big city, and there are not many soldiers like Marlowe for them, and they don't have to worry about the other party's plans or anything.
Rat Daqiang is looking forward to this city, after walking for so long, he finally saw a decent city, this Silver Pine City looks much bigger than Red Leaf City from the outside.
Of course, its walls are not as tall as Momiji Castle, and it is estimated that it is at most half the size of Momiji Castle's walls, but compared to the previous two small towns that are like villages, it is already very good.
Rat Daqiang has a very important trade task, this city should be similar to Red Leaf City, maybe a little better than Red Leaf City, after all, their city is so big.
It's just that when Rat Daqiang said his thoughts, everyone, including Marlowe, looked at him inexplicably.
"What's wrong with you?"
Rat Daqiang is a little unclear.
"You'll find out when you get in later."
Marlowe shook his head.
Among them, it is estimated that the orcs of Rat Daqiang don't know much about human cities, and the others are all merchants, and they have seen a lot of people from south to north, and all of them like Red Leaf City so much, and are even willing to settle in Red Leaf City permanently, just because they know how big the gap between ordinary cities and Red Leaf City is!
They may not have been to Silver Pine City, but they know that Red Leaf City is definitely not comparable to Silver Pine City, and in their hearts, Red Leaf City is a city comparable to the Buck King Capital!
Rat Daqiang was a little stunned when he saw that everyone didn't speak, but the city gate in front of him had already begun to open, so he didn't think much about it, and went in first.
"It's finally home!"
Someone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking all the way for so long, they were completely relieved only when they really arrived at the door.
"Hehe, I bought so many things in Red Leaf City this time, I guess I can make a lot of money!"
"Let's talk about it first, we can't maliciously raise the price!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't."
“……”
Once the gate was fully open, Marlowe led the party into Silverpine City.
"Uh...... This? ”
It's just that as soon as he entered the door, Rat Daqiang was stumped by the situation in front of him.
Directly in front of him, there was no road.
Or rather, in front of them was a half-man-high snowfield.
"If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't snowed before, hasn't it just snowed?"
Rat Daqiang is very strange, so much in a while?
"Everyone, please."
The soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to the heavy snow in front of him.
"You can't have snow here from half a month ago, right?"
Rat Daqiang looked at the thick snow in front of him and said:
"yes, what's wrong?"
The soldier was puzzled, he felt that this man was so strange!
Rat Daqiang said to the soldiers:
"Then why don't you shovel the snow away?"
The soldier looked at the thin man in front of him, his tone a little speechless.
"Why shovel away? If it's shoveled away, it will still fall, you see, it's snowing again today, and we'll clean it up after winter. ”
Rat Daqiang: "......"
Seems to make sense?
There's a! With so much snow blocking the road, what's the difference between inside and outside the city?
Rat Daqiang was speechless, and he was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Marlowe.
"Let's go."
Although the snow was half a man deep, it was nothing to them.
"Inexplicable!"
The soldier shook his head.
After walking in the snow for a while, all the people in the caravan came in, and Marlowe seemed to see Rat Daqiang's question, and explained:
"Most lords don't shovel the snow in their cities in winter, because the snow can't be shoveled, they will only remove part of it, and wait until the snow melts on its own."
"Huh?"
Rat Daqiang was a little confused, this was different from what he had seen in Red Leaf City.
In Momiji City, he basically didn't see snow on the road, no matter how heavy the first day was, when he woke up the next morning, the road was clean.
Although the snow did not cause him any difficulties, it was very uncomfortable for him to experience it in the city.
"But that's not the case with us in Red Leaf City?"
"That's because it's not Momiji City."
Hearing the words of the Marlowe Knight, Rat Daqiang seemed to understand something.
For this situation, except for Rat Daqiang, who was more surprised, the others did not show a special look, after all, they have seen a lot of this kind of thing.
But everything is afraid of comparison, and as soon as it is compared with Red Leaf City, this gap will come out.
Although this is only a small detail, it is the details that can see the real chapter.
When you really leave Red Leaf City, you can be regarded as knowing the goodness of Red Leaf City.
The group walked in the snow for a while, there were no buildings near the city gate, no street signs or anything, plus the wind and snow were very strong, if it weren't for these merchants of Silver Pine City to lead the way, they might get lost.
"Whew~"
Finally come out!
Rat Daqiang gasped, the house had been seen in front, and the road surface had finally been cleared, although it was only a small road, but it was much stronger than just now.
The soldier in front spoke:
"Guys, do you go find a place to live first, or do you ......?"
"With such a heavy snowfall, of course I found a place to live, do you have any recommended places?"
The soldier pointed ahead.
"If you go forward, you can see the hotel, there are all of them, and the most luxurious hotel in our Silver Pine City is also here, you can go directly to it, and I will report to the city lord."
"Thank you!"
The soldiers were handed some silver coins, and they did not refuse.
When the soldiers were gone, Marlowe spoke:
"Guys, let's go ahead and have a look."
"Okay."
Soon, the crowd saw a dilapidated hotel.
This rag is literal, and Rat Daqiang can see the snow inside through the hole in the roof.
"Knight Marlowe, thank you for taking care of you along the way! As a thank you, please be sure to accept it. ”
A merchant handed out a money bag and said goodbye to Marlowe.
He is a member of the Red Leaf Business Alliance, although the protection along the way is free, but as a businessman, he can't always take advantage, and when it is time to pay, he must also break the bank.
Marlowe didn't refuse.
After accepting the benefits from some people, Marlowe led the group on.
Because it was snowing heavily today, there were not many people on the road, and the few people were surprised to see Marlowe, they didn't understand, how could there be a caravan coming to their Silver Pine City in this heavy snowy day? That's a rarity!
"This is their most luxurious hotel, isn't it?"
Looking at the sign marked "Luxury Hotel" on it, Marlowe was a little unsure, he didn't know if the most luxurious hotel the soldier just said was luxurious in the hotel, or the name was luxurious.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone smelled a strong musty smell.
For so many people coming to the door, the owner of the inn still found out quickly. He trotted over and said with a smile on his face:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay at the hotel? We have the best room in All Silver Pine City! ”
Listening to the boss's words, Marlowe felt that this should be the right place.
"Yes, we're going to stay in a hotel, so many people, do you have enough rooms?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem!"
The boss's eyes lit up and he respectfully invited everyone in.
In the crowd, Anne covered her nose and complained to Abbe:
"Abbe, I don't want to live here......"
Abbe was helpless.
"This is not Momiji City, and there won't be the next Momiji Hotel."
"But it smells so bad here!"
Anne's eyebrows were twisted.
After waiting for the boss to take them to this so-called most luxurious room, Rat Daqiang was a little speechless.
This environment is not even better than the room of ordinary civilians in Red Leaf City! Not to mention compared to Momiji Inn.
But fortunately, the cost here is much lower than that of Momiji Inn, and you can stay here for three months for a day at Momiji Inn.
Marlowe counted the number of people, and after making sure that there was no omission, he directly paid everyone a week's fee, which made the boss so excited that this was a big customer!
The snow didn't know when it would stop, and if it got heavier and heavier, they would have to stay in Silver Pine City for a while.
Although the environment here is not very good, it is still okay to make do.
While Marlowe and the others were resting at the hotel, the news about the caravan in Red Leaf City had been slowly fermenting in Silver Pine City.
Those merchants in Silver Pine City, after returning home, did not want to stop for a moment, and left to come to the tavern, which is a place with more people.
Although the tavern in Silver Pine City is not heated, it is quite warm due to the large number of people.
Eugene is a merchant in Silver Pine City, and because of the heavy snow, he had no choice but to go to Red Leaf City for temporary refuge, but he didn't expect that Red Leaf City was such a magical city.
Even he didn't want to come back.
But Red Leaf City is not a place for him to stay for a long time, after all, his money bag does not support it.
Although he was not very lucky, he did not become a member of the Red Leaf Business Alliance, but he gained a lot this time, and almost all the gold coins on his body were spent, in exchange for many things that Silver Pine City did not have.
Eugene came to the tavern, and although he was dressed thick enough, it was still a little cold in the tavern.
He wanted to squeeze in, but because there was no zoning here, the price of drinking was the same everywhere, and everyone was crowded in.
There was no way, Eugene had to ask for a dark beer in some frustration.
He was thinking, how can he quietly promote some of his good things?
"Hey, Eugene, where have you been all this time?"
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Eugene came back to his senses and turned his head to look.
"Benson, long time no see!"
Benson is Eugene's business partner, and he is about the same strength as Eugene.
The two of them touched a glass and drank the somewhat unpalatable dark beer, and Eugene's face wrinkled.
"What's wrong with you?"
Benson thought he was sick and asked with some concern.
"It's okay, I just think this wine is too bad to drink!"
In the end, he still felt sorry for his copper coin, and Eugene closed his eyes and swallowed the large glass of dark beer in one gulp.
"Unpleasant? Hey, let's be honest, have you gone where to make a fortune, I haven't seen you for so long, and you even think dark beer is unpleasant? It's hard to say that you can't drink spiced red wine all the time! ”
Benson was still curious about Eugene's disappearance for such a long time, and although it was dark in the tavern after all, Benson could clearly see that Eugene was wearing a completely different outfit from him.
That dress looks so much prettier than herself!
"Spiced wine? Oh, I don't drink that thing, it's expensive and unpleasant! ”
Hearing Eugene's words, Benson became more and more curious.
What's wrong with this Eugene, speaking in such a loud tone? It's hard to really get rich!
"As for where I went? Hehe, you may not believe it, but I'm going to the most prosperous city in the north of our Buck Kingdom! ”
Eugene looked mysterious.
"Uh, are you kidding me, isn't the most prosperous city in the north our Silver Pine City?"
Benson was a little speechless.
"No, no, no, it's Momiji City!"
Looking at Eugene with an excited face, Benson scavenged all the memories in his mind, and he had never heard of the name Red Leaf City!
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, what Red Leaf City, I haven't heard of it at all!"
Seeing that Benson was a little angry, Eugene hurriedly explained.
"We are partners, how could I lie to you, really, I really went to Red Leaf City, you don't know, how prosperous Red Leaf City is!"
Eugene's face was a little exaggerated, so that Benson couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or not.
Eugene also knew that the other party would definitely not believe it just by relying on his own mouth, after all, he himself had a feeling of unreality.
In order for Benson to believe what he was saying, and to get the word out, he had to start giving examples.
"Let's not talk about Red Leaf City, do you think my clothes look good?"
"Beautiful."
Benson spoke honestly.
"I bought this dress in Red Leaf City!"
Benson touched the fabric of his clothes, and the soft and smooth feel made him a little lovely.
"Really? This dress is not cheap, I have never seen this kind of fabric, this style must be cut by a master tailor......"
"No, I'm the cheapest garment for whom, just a silver coin."
Eugene was a little embarrassed, it wasn't that he didn't want to buy those expensive clothes, but he didn't have any money, before the clothing mall opened, his gold coins had already been spent.
"What, a silver coin!"
Benson's exclamation was a little loud, and seeing that the people around him were all looking at him, Benson hurriedly whispered:
"Impossible, from the perspective of my business for so many years, this set of clothes must not be a silver coin, and at least a gold coin!"
A silver coin and a gold coin are a hundredfold difference!
"Nothing is impossible, I won't explain so much to you, when you see it, you'll know."
He couldn't finish talking about Momiji City's clothes for a day to give Eugene, and now was obviously not the time to talk about it at length.
"I don't believe it!"
Benson still doesn't believe that the price of clothes like these is generally formed slowly by the laws of the market, even if they are businessmen, they can't be said to be arbitrarily priced, otherwise it will easily collapse.
This piece of clothing, whether it is quality or style, is not ordinary, it is impossible to have such a low price, and it is impossible for someone to violate the laws of the market!
"Then if you and I sell it to you, how much are you willing to pay for it?"
Eugene's eyes suddenly rolled, and he was ready to change his ways.
"Sell it to me, I'll give you a gold coin!"
Benson didn't think about it.
He even felt that the two gold coins were not a loss, but after all, he was a businessman, and it was impossible to say the psychological price at once, so it was a big deal to talk about it slowly later!
And he thinks that this is just Eugene's casual words, if he had such a beautiful dress, he will definitely not sell it, after all, these two gold coins are nothing to him.
But what Benson didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Eugene immediately took off his coat.
"Give, pay with one hand, deliver with the other!"
Looking at the clothes handed over by Eugene, Benson was a little confused.
Really sold?
"Hurry up, take off your clothes, I'm cold!"
At Eugene's urging, Benson changed into a new outfit in a daze.
Touching the very smooth fabric on his body, looking at Eugene with a happy face, Benson said in disbelief:
"Could it be...... Are you telling the truth? Did you really buy it for a silver coin? ”
"Then there can be a fake!"
Eugene whispered in Benson's ear:
"Do you want more? One gold coin per coin, no counteroffer! ”
"You still have? How many? ”
"It's not much, it's just a hundred, if you want it, I'll give you a nine-percent discount!"
"More than a hundred! Don't want it, don't do it! ”
Benson thought that he only had one of these clothes, although he felt that even if he bought more than a hundred pieces, it didn't seem to be a loss, but looking at Eugene with a happy face, Benson really didn't want to spend this money.
"If you want to forget it, I'll sell it to someone else, by the way, I remember you like to drink? I still have the wine of Red Leaf City here, do you want it? ”
"Wine?"
Hearing that it was something from Red Leaf City again, Benson was a little expectant, he licked his lips and said:
"You show it to me, and if I'm good, I'll ask for it!"
"Of course, the wine there is much better than that of our Silver Pine City!"
Eugene pulled a small iron flask from his bosom and poured a little into Benson's glass.
"Hey, Eugene, why are you so stingy!"
Seeing that there was only so much lost wine in his huge glass, Benson was a little unhappy.
How can people buy wine so stingy, at least let you taste a drink.
"Stingy? Do you know how scarce this wine is, it is limited in Red Leaf City, this is my last pot of wine, and it is gone when I drink it! ”
Hearing that this was Eugene's last drink, Benson's face softened a lot, and he still said with some disbelief:
"I haven't drunk any wine, I haven't even drunk the three major wines of the royal capital, you wine, heh!"
As he spoke, Benson threw his head back and drank it down.
"Hmm-"
Suddenly, Benson's eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
"How? This wine is delicious, if you want it, if you want it, I'll sell it to you cheaply! ”
Eugene smiled like a profiteer.
Just that piece of clothing can earn a hundred times the price, he doesn't believe it, these wines can't be earned!
"Uh...... I just drank too fast and didn't taste it, why don't you pour a little more for me to taste? ”
Benson looked embarrassed.
"Huh?"
Eugene originally thought that Benson really hadn't tasted it, but seeing that his eyes were still looking at his wine jug from time to time, Eugene instantly understood that he was lying!
"Since I haven't tasted it, forget it, I won't sell you, I believe that there are so many people in the tavern, someone will definitely like it!"
Seeing that Eugene was leaving, Benson couldn't pretend anymore, so he hurriedly grabbed Eugene.
"No, we can talk again! I'm willing to pay a premium for it! ”
The corners of Eugene's mouth twitched, and he pulled Benson into the corner to discuss buying and selling wine.
……
There are many more examples of Eugene, those merchants of Silver Pine City who came back from Red Leaf City are a little eager to show their harvest, they risk their lives to return to Silver Pine City from Red Leaf City, for what, not for this moment! In order to earn tenfold, or even hundredfold profits!
Today's Silver Pine City is destined to be unpeaceful.
……
Early the next morning, Marlowe received an unexpected invitation.
"The Lord of Silver Pine City is entertaining us?"
After sending the messenger away, Marlowe didn't understand why the lord of Silver Pine City was entertaining them.
Except for Marlowe, there is one here that counts as one, and they all received invitations.
"Could there be some conspiracy?"
As a rat orc, Rat Daqiang's vigilance is still very strong, and he subconsciously thinks about the worst.
"Probably not."
Marlowe frowned and rejected the idea of the rat orcs, because these soldiers seemed to be only responsible for protection, and did not bring anything valuable, and the other party should not know that they had valuable goods in their hands.
This city lord really has any bad thoughts, he just invited the merchants in the inn directly, there is no need to invite himself.
After all, the destructive power of a knight really can't be measured by common sense, and the strength of knights is also very different, Marlowe is the more powerful among knights, not counting the weapons and equipment that Zhang Feng gave him.
No one should take such a risk until they are sure of their strength.
"It's okay, maybe it's just an ordinary banquet, he should have heard about Red Leaf City and wanted to inquire."
After asking the opinions of other merchants, everyone thought that it was better to go, after all, this was on someone's territory, and in the face of the invitation of the owner of the city, it would not be good if they did not go.
Moreover, they also have the knight Abbe, which is another layer of insurance.
At noon, after everyone cleaned up and ordered their respective servants, a group of more than a dozen people, led by a soldier, braved the wind and snow to come to the city lord's mansion.
Although Silver Pine City is very large, his City Lord's Mansion is similar to Red Leaf City, or the buildings in this world are much the same.
After being briefed at the door, the group followed the soldier inside.
As soon as they entered the castle, many people shuddered.
Compared to the outside, although there is no wind and snow inside, the castle is more cold and damp, and at the same time there is a rotten and smelly smell.
Cold and damp are common problems in castles, and the castles of Momiji Castle used to be like this.
The castle was not only cold, but also very dark, and in order to make the defense strong, the windows of the castle were built high and small, with almost no light, only ventilation.
But when I got up to the second floor, it was much better.
The first floor was for servants and livestock, and the second floor and above were the residences of the lords.
Although the second floor is the same as the first floor, it is also brightly lit because of the many torches.
The hall on the second floor has now been transformed into a banquet hall - nothing has changed, except for a large round table.
On the table, the oil lamps emitted a faint fragrance, diluting the strange smell of the castle a lot.
Directly in front of him was a slightly chubby man, he was wearing a brightly colored robe and a colorful hat on his head.
There were also some people sitting beside him, who were supposed to be the retainers of the city lord, who were whispering something to the city lord.
"Lord of the city, the people have been brought."
The soldier who led the way trotted all the way over to report to the lord of Silver Pine City.
Hearing the soldier's report, the city lord raised his head and looked at Marlowe and his party, he got up with a smile on his face:
"Welcome to Silver Pine City, I am the lord of Silver Pine City, Count Longman, in order to show my welcome, I have prepared some food, and I hope you will not be disgusted."
"I've seen the lord of the castle!"
"I've seen the Earl!"
And they hurried to salute.
Rat Daqiang was a little surprised, he didn't expect this city lord to be an earl, he remembered that Lord Zhang Feng was also a baron.
Although he felt that the title did not mean anything, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
This earl's territory is really spicy chicken!
"Everyone, please!"
Count Longman made a gesture of please, and everyone took their seats.
Because Marlowe is a knight, he can wear a knight's armor at any time, but the knight's sword is definitely not allowed to be brought in.
Because of his helmet, the city lord didn't see the face of the road, and when Marlowe sat down and took off his helmet, an exclamation sounded.
"Marlowe? It's you! ”
Following the voice, Marlowe saw a familiar face.
"Marcy?"
This freckled woman is none other than Marsie, the former mayor of Red Leaf City!
"It's really you Marlowe!"
Someone spoke again, and Marlowe turned his head to see that there were several people here who were his acquaintances.
"I heard that there was a caravan from Red Leaf City, and I was thinking that who would be able to walk such a long distance in such severe weather, it turned out that you Marlowe led the team! That's not surprising! ”
Someone spoke, he was a former knight of Red Leaf City and a former colleague of Marlowe.
As for Marlowe's strength, it is very clear, it can be said that the knights they left may not necessarily be Marlowe's opponents combined!
In this regard, he also regretted that Red Leaf City was no longer saved, and Marlowe could only spend time and life there, and when this heavy snow came, he even guessed that Marlowe might have been defeated by nature.
But I didn't expect to come across it here again!
After all, it used to be a colleague, and he was a little embarrassed.
It's just that in the face of the words of this former colleague, he could even brag, but Marlowe did not answer.
At the most difficult time in Red Leaf City, these people chose to leave, although Marlowe couldn't judge anything, but from the moment he left, these people were no longer his friends.
In the past, Marlowe had considered them all friends.
Not getting a reply from Marlowe, the knight was a little embarrassed.
The city lord, who had not spoken, smiled and played a round game.
"Hehe, it turns out that they are all acquaintances, that's just right, chatting while eating!"
The city lord clapped his hands.
"Serve!"
"Huh! Who is this stinky face to show it! Is Momiji Castle gone? You are fleeing! I said it a long time ago, Red Leaf City can't wait! ”
Marcy's sarcastic voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet castle.
Marlowe and the others had strange expressions.
