Chapter 454: "Be Careful"
The capital of the Kingdom of Delgada, the city of Rogaland, is full of people and traffic.
The city is divided into several districts, the poor district, the rich district, the aristocratic district, and the royal palace district.
Each district is distinct.
Poor people sweat like rain every day, exude a strong smell, and work hard for their daily survival, like cockroaches in the sewer.
The rich and noble, on the other hand, were in great luxury, so that they could spend their time studying beautiful decorations, eating all kinds of spice-spiced food, and chasing all kinds of thrills, like rats in a warehouse.
This is the real scene that William saw with his own eyes after visiting the city, like a ukiyo-e.
William wasn't very new to the country, at least not the first time he'd heard the name.
He'd heard the name a long, long time ago.
In the kingdom of Bucharest next door, I heard the term from the mouth of the old king Krosso Asclepios, who ate the meat of the white snake and could understand animal speech, the kingdom of Delgada, which was founded by a group of traitors.
The old king's words were full of hatred.
At the beginning, the old king wanted him to go to the snake mountain and pick three snake leaves for him, saying that his son was poisoned and needed these three snake leaves to live, and lied to William that these three snake leaves were the antidote to poison.
In fact, at that time, this dying old king knew that this was a divine grass that could bring the dead back to life.
William was also stupid at the time, and he didn't think of this.
Who knew that two different fairy tales could have such an implication.
Now that I think about it, the old king's surname is Asclepios, the name of the legendary god of medicine, could it be that this royal family is really a descendant of the god of medicine in mythology?
But at that time, the magic mirror didn't see anything unusual about this family?
For example, William's first encounter with the waiter family of the god Pan, although they are shepherds, but in the blood of the people, there is still the divine power of the old gods, and they can perceive the words of animals.
William refused the old king's request at that time, and the old king was not angry, but behaved sincerely, as if he wanted to move William with sincerity.
When William chose to leave with the lucky guard, the old king gave them a horse each.
In fact, these two horses were spies trained by the old king, and he thought that William didn't know, but in fact, William, who also ate the meat of the white snake, how could he not know?
Like the dog-licking guard, he found an excuse to kill the two horses, which was an eyesore.
The king has been without eyes and ears since then, and after William left, he wandered around the continent and never returned, and he didn't know what had happened!
Looking back on the past, there is really a feeling of being out of the world.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the junction of the rich and poor areas of the city of Rogaland, in the Tulip Tavern.
The tavern was full of people.
A group of men with a little spare money were surrounding a man dressed as a bard, listening to him tell stories about what had happened on the mainland.
In this world, the productive forces are backward, and many civilians may never leave the city or village where they live for the rest of their lives, so the singing of bards and the performance of juggling troupes will be sought after by many people.
After all, in addition to satisfying one's own physical needs, human beings also have to have their psychological needs satisfied.
The bard gently plucked the harp in his hand, and his deep voice told the story, and the people around him listened to it with fascination:
"In the distant homeland of Declan, black bears roam the jungle, butterflies dance on the tips of flowers, and kind people work in the fields. Destined to be extraordinary, Abnayadar was born here. ”
"Abner, wise as a prophet, Adair, strong as an oak, came with the attention of the Light, and he was born with the blessing of God!"
"Diseases did not dare to come near him, danger was always far away from him, and he grew into a healthy lad!"
"War came suddenly, and death followed with the howls of the poor people."
"The mission is urging Abnayadal to leave! He has joined the army of justice and faced evil opponents! ”
"Wisdom brings him victory, and victorious him leads the army of justice to the next victory!"
“……”
William, who deliberately had a thin beard on his lips and a red rose pinned to his chest, sat in front of the bar stool in the tavern and turned his head to listen with interest to the minstrels' tales.
"Outlander, are you interested in the story of our new king?" A voice appeared from next to William and said to William.
William then turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly came next to him, with lush body hair all over his body, hair like weeds, and a burst of fermented smell as soon as he approached.
William quietly took out the red rose pinned to his chest, sniffed the fragrance of the flowers lightly, and then looked at the uninvited man, his voice was hoarse and low, and he said slowly, "Ah, is it because I have one more eye than the people here?" How do you think I'm an outsider? ”
William used the standard Delgada Chinese language, which he learned in half a week, and the additional skill brought by his strong mental power was the explosive growth of his memory.
If it continues to develop at this rate, William does not have to worry that he will have the problem of Alzheimer's disease when he lives to seven or eight hundred.
"Hehe, this is Rogaran, Rogalan doesn't have as beautiful skin as you, you are as attractive as your flower, it's not just women who are interested in you."
"Meet me, my name is Relos, and everyone here calls me Yalei! A guy who helps some people solve small problems! The guy with vigorous body hair stretched out his black palm towards William.
William smiled lightly, sniffed the red rose in his hand again, and then said lightly, "Of course, there are dead people!" ”
"It's not a pleasure to meet you, but ...... My name is Vito, Vito Corleone! ”
"Corleone? This surname is not common. Relos said casually on his face, but he didn't think of a nobleman with this surname in his heart.
William smiled silently.
Relos frowned slightly, and said heroically, "Outlander, you seem to be very cautious? Don't worry, this is the Tulip Tavern, and no idler dares to make trouble here, because anyone who dares to do so can only look for the corpse in the garbage heap or in the dark river outside. ”
William knew that the dark river here was actually a small river outside the city, because it was dumped with garbage all year round, and the river water was black, so it was called the dark river.
He smiled faintly, "It took me a lifetime to learn to be careful, women and children can be careless, but men can't!" ”
Relos paused for a moment, "Be careful! ”
