In the opening preface to the History of the Empire of England there is a widely circulated passage that true aristocrats do not disdain to patronize the lands of depravity and darkness, lest they be offended even the slightest bit by their noble status.

"My esteemed earl, you must say something," said the Griff knight at this moment, blushing, "how can Miss Emily, who has the blood of a noble nobleman in her veins, set foot in a land rich in thieves and robbers?" ”

Count Jonad was silent, his eyes wandering a little, and it was evident that he could not make up his mind for a moment.

The old gentleman has never been a cool man.

Butler Gerald walked to the front, bowed deeply to Earl Jonad, and said solemnly: "Thank you, great God, for bless our Robertson family with such a kind and loving heir." Let her understand the sufferings of the people, but it will be of great benefit to her management of the family in the future. ”

The old butler gave the Count a new cup of tea, sprinkled it with finely ground brown sugar, and the aroma immediately filled the entire front hall.

"The great God blesses his people under heaven. God will not give up any soul that can be saved. Gerald glared at Knight Griff and said meaningfully.

"However, that land is too evil, and that Dai Lan doesn't have any effort, how can he protect the eldest lady......" Griff was still not convinced, and did not give up any opportunity to attack his opponent.

In the end, it was Lord Jonad who made the final decision: "Let James bring a few more knights to follow secretly, and forgive those who steal chickens and dogs will not make much of a mess." ”

God knows why the lovely Miss Emily, the heiress of the great Robertson family, would take the whim to investigate such a demon-cursed region.

The citizens of Luthor are among the poorest and poorest in Dundee. Some of them work by selling their cheapest strength; Some make a living by theft and fraud, and some simply lie down on the street and beg for a copper tor or two from other poor people who pass by.

This area is the biggest headache for the city magistrate Gregory, and most of the district's annual income is spent on the sheriff's office and prison.

However, hell is often only a thin line away from heaven.

In Dundee City, due to the presence of Jacob, the Robertson medicine family of the sword-forging family, the officially formed Hampton Market is extremely prosperous, and a large number of merchants from the city come and go here every day. In the Hampton Fair, there are all kinds of fine sword healing and hemostatic medicines, which are the favorite of ordinary soldiers and poor knights.

It was because of the huge profits that the Gregorian Governor set the tax at 20 per cent, which would allow Dundee to generate a huge amount of revenue to cover all aspects of the city's expenses. It is even rumored that this city magistrate is still secretly recruiting his own army.

Due to the high tax rate and the guarantee of authenticity, the price of goods in the natural market has risen, which is not something that ordinary young men who like to practice martial arts can afford.

There is a demand and there is a market, this is the unchanging truth of 10,000 shares.

Could it be that a young man who loves martial arts is going to become a poet because he doesn't have a few silver crowns?

Could it be that if Bijian was slightly injured, he would have to spend a lot of money to go to a public hospital for medical treatment?

The Luther Market in the Luther district was born.

There are very cheap pig iron swords that can be used in hand; There is a slower but effective bone-setting disinfectant. Moreover, since there are all kinds of thieves and robbers gathered here, they are naturally much better informed than those knights hiding in the courtyard of the deep palace. Also, in the large and small pawn shops in the bazaar, there are absolutely valuable good treasures, of course, these treasures are stolen by those gentlemen in the official Hampton bazaar.

Luther Market is a place where copycat goods are violent.

What does that mean?

If you love him, take him to Luthor Bazaar, for it is paradise.

If you hate him, take him to Luther Bazaar, too, for it's hell.

Miss Emily wasn't wearing that pretty silver armor. Just wore a green and purple Cashmir knitted kaftan and a pair of jet-black shiny riding boots.

By her side, there was only one guard, Dai Lan, who was also dressed in civilian clothes.

Before leaving, Lord Jonad specially instructed them for a long time to make sure that they hid their identities. If those tabloid reporters knew the whereabouts of the eldest lady, then the headline of the next week's Highland Weekly would have to be "The depraved journey of the noble lady".

Recently, Scotland is at its best time of year, with eight out of ten sunny days.

No matter how she dressed, Emily's cleanliness could not be concealed, and even the brilliance on her face was compared to the sun.

It was as if a golden fènghuáng suddenly flew from among the crows, and as soon as the eldest lady stepped on the Luthor market, it attracted the attention of all men, women and children. These vulgar and poor people, once in their lives, are blessed to see such a noble lady dressed.

For poor families, it is a great honor to be able to go to Jonad's house to collect garbage once

Today's market is very lively, with traffic on both sides of the street, and the sound of hawking one after another.

What Emily saw was an old man lying on a street corner begging powerlessly, or a half-sized boy in a pair of shorts full of holes, muttering a copper plate and buying a black bread. Tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

In every dynasty, there are people at the bottom of such a layer who struggle to survive for a living. Their dream is just a small piece of bread every day.

With the eldest lady, Dai Lan felt a little sentimental. He gritted his teeth and said to himself over and over again: find Bruno as soon as possible, find his girlfriend Joyna as soon as possible, and return to the 21st century as soon as possible......

However, with Dai Lan's sense, he found that the eldest lady was always looking at the surrounding buildings, intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes there are words in my mouth, as if I am looking for something.

Miss, what's the secret?

"Thank you for saving me," Emily interrupted Dai Lan's train of thought with a sudden word of thanks, "If it weren't for your presence in the forest and the strange willow herbs that followed, I'm afraid I'd have died." ”

Speaking of emotion, Emily's face was ruddy, even with a hint of shyness, and she said seriously: "I will remember all this." ”

Perhaps perceiving her gaffe, the eldest lady immediately reverted to her cold and pretty appearance.

Dai Lan smiled slightly, looked at Emily's blue eyes that seemed extremely sincere, and said word by word: "I can't see death without help." And, I promised James to save you, he's my friend. ”

Emily blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down, revealing a row of white teeth, and the corners of her mouth crept up in an elegant arc.

After walking through two streets, the eldest lady pointed in the direction of two o'clock and sighed softly.

Dai Lan turned his head to look and saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. He has wavy brown curls with a little bangs in front. The slightly round face is dotted with two large eyes. Probably due to long-term work, her small face is also a little brown, which matches the few freckles on the bridge of her nose. The thin lips were curved downward, with a hint of sadness, and from time to time she secretly wiped her tears.

Dressed in a patched gray coarse cloth garment, she knelt in one of the most inconspicuous corners of the street, with a basket of round oranges in front of her.

Another example of civil suffering.

Dai Lan has a cold appearance, and he is like an ancient well, but in fact, he can't stand seeing others suffer the most in his heart. It all has to do with the fact that he grew up in an orphanage.

He could deeply feel the feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

After saying hello to the eldest lady, Dai Lan walked up to the girl.

"Oranges are good, how much does it cost?" has been withdrawn since childhood, so Dai Lan is not very good at greeting people. It only improved after falling in love with Joyna, at least he would laugh.

The girl looked up and saw a boy with cold and angular cheeks standing in front of her. Next to him is a beautiful girl who is also as cold as ice.

"Three oranges sell for one copper tor, very cheap," the girl wiped her lips with her rough little hands, and there was not a hint of cowardice in her words.

Dai Lan glanced at it, and there were about 20 or so good oranges. casually touched the silk bag on his waist that Tang Bohu had given him to make a money bag now, took out 10 copper tors, and gently put them on the girl's hand.

The sound of copper coins striking each other made a pleasant sound. The girl was stunned and couldn't believe that she had sold all the oranges at once. These ten copper plates are enough to sustain the family for a week's food, although this amount of money in Dai Lan's opinion cannot even afford a glass of fine wine.

A few young men dressed in alternative clothes and tattoos nearby, with a greedy glint in their eyes.

At the same time, Dai Lan noticed that in front of the brown-cheeked girl, there was a cardboard shell with some words written crookedly, and at the same time a house logo was drawn.

It was definitely not written in English or German, which was commonly used at the time. Intrigued, Dai Lan asks Miss Emily for help.

Emily looked at it and said with a blank face, "That's the Geerke language, an advertisement for renting a house." The girl's house has a room for rent for 2 silver kronor per month. ”

Hearing that there was a house for rent, Dai Lan's heart moved.

Carrying the oranges he had bought, he walked forward with Miss Emily, thinking about renting a house.

Suddenly, there were several shouts from the girl.

Dai Lan looked back, and his face suddenly became ugly.

It turned out that the young men with tattoos surrounded the little brown-skinned girl and wanted to grab the copper plate in her hand. It may be because of the identities of Dai Lan and the eldest lady, those hooligans did not dare to act rashly. When they leave, immediately go up and grab the money.

One of the scoundrels with a ponytail said, "My little Rachel, you haven't paid the protection fee this month, just 10 copper torls, and you can't rely on it this time."

The girl, Rachel, clutched the copper plate tightly, her little face flushed, and her teeth bit her lip as if she was about to bleed. A pair of big eyes, shining with a resolute light.

Dai Lan shook his head, and suddenly shouted loudly into the air: "James, teach these people of hers a good lesson for the eldest lady to fight to the death" He said categorically: "Rent me this girl's house." ”

Then, Dai Lan hugged the back of his head with both hands, and set off with the eldest lady to return to Celtic Castle, and the screams of those little hooligans crying and calling for their mothers came from behind him......

"I don't see it, you're really ruthless." The eldest lady glanced at Dai Lan, and a blush suddenly crept up on her face, "I haven't seen you lose your temper so much......"

For some reason, when she learned that Dai Lan was finally looking for a house, Emily felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart......
