Chapter 115 Far East City
Far Eastern City is not a cold, battlefield machine, as Paul Jr. thought.
At least a small percentage are not.
Surrounded by dense military camps, the center of Far Eastern City reveals a different kind of luxury.
It was a gathering place for all the nobles, and another jousting ground outside the battlefield.
Everything the nobility could think of, normal entertainment, could be seen here.
"Please show your certificate of nobility. ”
At the door of a bustling six-story inn, a well-dressed attendant bowed and said to the group.
"Proof of nobility?" Leo was a little confused.
As soon as he saw Leo's appearance, the squire knew that this was a civilian who had broken in without understanding anything.
But he still maintained his demeanor, raised his right hand, and pointed to the end of the street: "The army relatives are all there, the Duke of Sand Fox is earthy gray, the four-leaf clover Duke is blue, the Duke of Covenshire is sky blue, the Duke of Frederick is fiery red, the Marquis Earl is bright yellow, and the rest of the barons and viscounts are free." ”
In this city, it is not the aristocracy that is dangerous enough, there are a large number of officers who have been rewarded for their wars, but have not yet had time to obtain their titles, and offending their families is no different from offending a future nobleman.
This kind of early aristocracy often regarded the connection between blood as more precious.
After being frustrated by the splendid aristocratic inn, Leo and his team entered the low, motley inn set up for the viscount and baron.
The attendants here were a little cold, but they still cheered them up.
Compared to the quiet, luxurious Duke's inns, these motley inns are undoubtedly noisy and philistine.
At least in Leo's field of vision, the men who occupied the window were obviously a cut above the people in the corner.
Leo guessed that the person in their family who joined the army had some outstanding merits.
The party didn't say anything to the arrogant-looking people. They had come to visit Nana's relatives, not to cause trouble for him, and even if they could fix the trouble, it didn't mean that Bedounat could.
Sometimes, however, trouble is not something that Leo doesn't want to provoke, so they won't take the initiative to come to the door.
The few people sitting by the window, as if they wanted to take on the duties of the shopkeeper, stood up from the table and staggered over with wine bottles.
"New here?"
The man in the lead let out a belch with alcohol.
Leo nodded.
"Whose family are you?"
"Bedounat. Leo said honestly, and at the same time a little expecting that these few people who were a little hooligan would tell him something.
"Bedounat?" the leader shook his dizzy head and asked aloud into the store, "Bedounat, Bedounat, whose family knows a Bedounat? No? really not? Okay. ”
The leader knocked the bottle on the table, then handed another bottle and handed it to Leo.
"As you can see, no one here knows a guy named Bedounat, and to put it mildly, maybe he has died in battle. ”
Leo grabbed Nana's suddenly cold hand, resisted the urge to smash a punch into the man's face, and said politely: "Not necessarily, we also received a letter from Bedounat two months ago." ”
"That's not for sure. The leader shook his head and shook his head, showing a mocking look. "Who knows what happens on the battlefield? The sword has no eyes, and the stray arrow will not take care of you, or it will take care of you, and his life will be lost on the battlefield. Not to mention that in two months, anything is possible. ”
"Are you done?" Leo was a little impatient. "Just because you haven't heard of so many hotels doesn't mean that others haven't heard of them. ”
The feeling of growing cold in his hands told him that Nana couldn't stand the trash talk.
"Well, since you don't want to hear it, forget it. However, there is a fee for these messages, fifty silver coins. ”
"What!?"
Leo was a little incredulous, these vicious words, he actually had to charge fifty silver coins? An ordinary person can earn so much in two months, not to mention the remote location of Far Eastern City, it is not easy to come here, these relatives who miss their families, after accumulating enough savings, still accept an exploitation at the hands of these scumbags?
"Fifty silver coins, that's a bargain, it's more than a month for you to go through these inns, and if the one in your family who came to join the army is going to die, that's a matter of regret. The leader kindly reminded.
"Why did you take it?"
"Because I'm the brother-in-law of Knight Evan. The man was a little smug.
In this tavern, the families of the viscount and the baron are often placed in better places, and the person who can stay here is a ten-captain at the top of the sky, and more often is an ordinary soldier, a knight who sits in several villages, and here is the existence of the sky.
"So that knight fought the front line, just so that you could use his name to make money in the back?" said Leo coldly.
"No, no, no, no, no. The leader shook his head desperately. "How dare I do such a thing?"
Leo's face softened slightly. However, the next sentence of the leader made him change color.
"These things were personally instructed by my brother-in-law!"
Personally instructed!
Leo mouthed off.
A knight, often responsible for leading the troops on the front line, is an important basic node of an army, and at the same time, it means danger.
Compared to the security and abundant tax revenues in their domains, the wages of the war were so dangerous and insignificant. So in this hotel full of class oppression, they began to be powerful, and used their status as a bit of aristocracy to fill their desires.
Fifty silver coins!
A knight's net tax for a year is only a few hundred gold coins.
Leo never imagined that there would be such a dirty and dark thing hidden in the army he thought was sacred.
The soldiers were bloodied on the front line, just for the stability of their families in the rear. And here, this hotel specially set up for military families has actually become a place of exploitation.
Leo's eyes swept over the casual civilians in the tavern. Looking at their indifferent and numb appearances, these blatant actions of this leader were eighty percent acquiesced in by the greater and more powerful aristocracy.
His expression was cold and cold, and he said in a stiff tone: "I have no interest in caring about the knights behind you, and I will not pay these fifty silver coins." Now, get out of the way, or your head will have to find a new place to live. ”
The leader was furious, rolled up his sleeves, and tilted his head: "Boy, you dare to threaten me?
"Bang!"
Leo had no interest in replying to such a scumbag, and he smashed into the man's face with lightning speed, his fist sinking deep into his head, and judging by this shape, the cartilage on the man's face was almost shattered.
While the man flew out upside down, Leo couldn't help but punch him in the face again, and this time, a few yellowed teeth and a few bits of blood splattered out.
Jingle bells!
The leader flew out and bumped into a lot of tables and chairs, and he was drenched in beer and dishes, and there was no such scenery as before.
"It's much more comfortable now. ”
Leo let out a sigh of relief, looked around under the frightened gaze of everyone in the inn, and shouted, "Now that I have taken over the security of this hotel, if I hear that anyone is charging these consultation fees again, prepare to go out sideways!"
(He's different.) )
Isenus silently watched Leo's every move.
In the past, although Leo would also give this knight's brother-in-law a severe beating, it was impossible to take over the security of this hotel.
In him, Eliza's domineering and Nana's kindness are cleverly combined, mixing a new, reassuring trait.
This trait is closer to a great lord.
Leo was unaware of the changes in himself.
He waved a squire and asked, "Have you really not heard of a soldier named Bedounat?"
"Not really, sir. The attendant replied tremblingly.
Now it's a problem.
Leo frowned secretly in his heart, handed a few silver coins to the squire, and asked again, "Has Archduke Frederick arrived in Far Eastern City?"
"I haven't heard from him. ”
These silver coins seemed to have a special magical power, and the squire's mood calmed down a lot, and his speech became smoother.
"But how is it possible for us civilians to know the whereabouts of the duke?" the squire shook his head and said, "If I am wrong, you must not come back and beat me." ”
"How could it be. Leo looked at the squire a little speechlessly.
But after looking at the unconscious leader on the ground, he changed his words and said, "I promise not." ”
Only then did the attendant completely relax and take the initiative to salute them: "Please come with me, there are two empty rooms upstairs next to each other." ”
Of course, Leo and Nana live in one of these two houses, and Isenas and them squeeze one together.
After settling in, Leo and Isenas met in the hallway.
"I have something to go out for. Leo said.
"Buying clothes, right?" asked Isenas.
"Exactly, by the way, I asked for news about Nana's brother. What about you?"
"I also have something to inquire about. Since you are going to inquire about Bedounat, I suggest that you inquire about the newly promoted middle and high rank officers, and in six years, if you are lucky, you may be valued by any duke and crowned as a field count. ”
Leo's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly turned his head and went out, completely forgetting to ask Esenas what he wanted to inquire about in such a remote place.
Ezenus, who watched Leo leave, quietly clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
"Far East City, this world has changed so fast, in ten years, who remembers that this place was once called Titanfall?"
