The thaw of the deep sea of ice crystals did not alleviate the deep cold of Istanbul.

Because it's early winter, the weather should have been so cold.

Although the old steel hammer was not afraid of the cold of early winter, he still put on a cotton suit.

The dwarves somewhere to find eight more horses and led them to the party.

In this regard, Steelhammer explained: "We have all the mounts ready, war elephants, deer, war horses. Hospitable dwarves can't make their guests feel uncomfortable. ”

The old steelhammer rode on a bantam horse and said to the steelhammer: "After I leave, the protection of the ancestral power of Istanbul will be weakened, and you must increase the intensity of your patrol at this time, so as not to let others take the opportunity to touch it." ”

In response to the old steel hammer's advice, the little steel hammer slapped his chest loudly under the horse: "Don't worry! I won't let go of a goblin!"

The old steel hammer nodded and said, "It's good that you have confidence, you are much better than when I was younger." ”

Although he said that he was relieved, the old steel hammer still glanced at Istangel worriedly.

After sighing uneasily, the old hammer turned the horse's head, and Leo and the others walked slowly out the door.

Leo rushed forward and comforted, "Don't worry so much, the little steel hammer is much more energetic than when you were younger." ”

"If you mean he's always stupid. The old hammer flicked the reins, urging the bantam to go faster.

"Isn't that the tradition of your Steelhammer Clan? Leo said with a smile.

"It's not a good tradition. The old hammer smiled helplessly.

"But if it weren't for this tradition, you would have been wiped out three hundred years ago. ”

But that doesn't mean that our stupid bravery is always right. ”

The old hammer shook his head, and clamped the horse's belly again, allowing the slightly lagging bantam to keep up with everyone.

Leo looked at the sluggish bantam under the old steel hammer, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why did you change the bantam horse, although it is also a kind of dwarf mount, it can't keep up with our footsteps at all, right?"

"That's something I'm going to tell you later. ”

After the old steel hammer finished repairing Bugati, he immediately took Leo and them out of the city, and all the plans had to be explained on the way.

"Come over a little!" shouted the old steel hammer through the cold wind.

Old Steelhammer looked around the party and said, "We are now going to the border of the realm of faith, where the god of commerce and the god of harvest has built a golden city in the place where the goddess of nature fell, to suppress and hide the goddess of nature's body. ”

"So we're going to sneak into the city now?"

"That's right, so I replaced my mount with a bantam, and the dwarves who roam the human realm can't find domesticated goats to mount. ”

"What are we going to do when we get to that city?" asked Isenas.

"It is enough to follow the guidance of the Goddess of Wisdom. ”

"You mean, Godhead?" Isenus reacted quickly, and immediately guessed what the old steel hammer meant.

"Yes, Godhead and Body are attracted to each other, and we just have to follow Godhead. The old hammer glanced at Omoni and asked, "Is the Godhead still on you?"

Omoni patted his pocket: "Don't worry, I believe that a wizard is not wrong." ”

"Who is running that city?, the god of commerce, or the god of harvest?" said Izenus, thinking for a moment, and asked the old hammer.

"They manage together, adjudicate together. ”

The dwarves of Istanbul, in addition to maintaining the security of the surroundings of Istanbul, spend the most energy on this golden city.

"The relationship between these two gods looks good. Li Aoqi said that among the gods, the closest relationship he knew was the three-god association of the Church of Light, but it was not close enough to rule together.

"It's not just good, they complement each other completely. Omoni interjected: "The god of the harvest keeps believers from worrying about hunger. In addition to ensuring survival, the god of business taught them to create more wealth from wealth. This is one of the few gods that can be worshiped and prayed to at the same time. ”

"It's kind of interesting. Isenas pondered, and then asked, "And what is the attitude of the city towards the nobility?"

"It's a countess named Jean Turner who is in charge of the Golden City. Nobles often visited the city. ”

Aristocratic management?

Little Paul felt strange in his heart.

He said whatever came to his mind, and asked, "Why is it the aristocracy that is in charge? Isn't this a kingdom of faith, why is it not run by the church?"

Isenas popped out a wind bomb with an expressionless face and hit little Paul on the back of the head, and the painful little Paul called out with an "oops".

"This part is mentioned many times in the book "The Evolution of the Upper Class", have you not seen the book yet, or have you read it and forgotten it?"

"Me. After weighing the severity of the punishment for the two answers, little Paul lowered his head and replied, "I haven't seen it yet!"

", you've read this book when you were in Artisan. "Another ball of wind hit little Paul in the ass. "If you don't read the book carefully and lie to me, go back and find out all the knowledge in this book and copy it three times. The handwriting should be neat. ”

The old steel hammer looked at the wilted little Paul with a smile and said, "The naughty appearance of the children when they were young is exactly the same. Since some of you don't remember much, I'll say a few words. ”

The old steel hammer recalled for a moment, and then spoke to everyone: "Before the god king ascended to the throne, all races were aristocratic, and the god king was naturally a member of the nobility. After ascending to the throne, the god-king automatically has the dual status of priesthood and title. After a brief period of management under the blessing of his dual status, the god-king accidentally discovered the conflict between the nobles and the gods, so he renounced the title of nobility and ordered the other gods not to have titles. Although this temporarily resolved the contradiction between the two, it still left the contradiction between the nobles and the gods behind. This is why the aristocracy now has a unique system of governing the city and handing over a portion of the revenue to the church. ”

"I still don't understand what the contradiction between the nobles and the gods is?" said little Paul shook his head.

"Read more and you will understand, now it is enough to know that the actual administrator of the city is this countess. Isenas stopped little Paul's inquiry.

Then, Isenus muttered and said, "Since this is a nobleman and an earl, it will be easy to do, I have a plan..."

Two days later, when the party and the old hammer arrived at the gates of the Golden City, the appearance of the entire team had changed drastically.

Nana put on the Duchess's style again, and changed the jewelry she had received from the ice dragon around her neck, and her whole body became bright and dazzling.

And Leo is also dressed up extravagantly, and under the guidance of Izenas, his expression looks very arrogant.

"It's exactly what you used to be. Isenas praised.

Both of them are dressed as aristocrats, and if there is anything wrong with the two of them, although the clothes of the two of them are luxurious, they are really not suitable for this season.

while others were dressed in modest and restrained clothes, dressed as servants and butlers.

Leo led his team and swaggered past the ordinary people who lined up to enter the city, and stopped in front of the city gate guards.

Leo's horses galloped in front of the guard, and the man stood up, and even took two steps forward in this position, before lowering his horse's hooves in the guard's awkward dodge.

For a time, an arrogant and show-off aristocratic face was vividly shown by him.

Leo pulled his horse, circled the guard a few times, stared at the fence at the gate of the city, and said, "I am Viscount Arendt, and I am going into the city now." ”

An older guard, with quick eyes, grabbed his companion who was breathing fire in his eyes, nodded at Leo and said, "It turns out to be Lord Viscount Arendt, your reputation for bravery and good fighting has long been spread here, and it is really our honor to have your arrival." ”

The old guard's two sentences of "Viscount Arendt" were very comfortable, he squinted his eyes, his attitude eased a lot, and said to the guard in a happy mood: "Since you all know my name, what are you still bothering about, why don't you open the level and let me in?"

"All you need to do is report the number of your entourage. ”

"Number of people?" Leo was a little impatient. "Do you want to censor a nobleman?"

"Of course not. With a smile on his face, the guard explained, "There is a special residence palace for nobles in Golden City, and we know the number of your retinue so we can arrange a place for you to live." ”

It's a very thoughtful arrangement.

"Turner manages this place well. Leo nodded, the whip in his hand pointing behind him.

"Look, a viscountess, four servants, and a dignitary. ”

The young guard hurriedly registered.

But when he saw the old steel hammer, the young guard had a look of embarrassment on his face again.

"My lord, the Golden City stipulates that dwarves are not allowed to enter. ”

"What!?"

The young guard's reckless words made "Viscount Arendt" angry again.

"I did everything I could to introduce this dwarven master to the Earl! Do you look down on a master who can craft epic equipment, or do you look down on me, or do you have an opinion about the Earl?"

The old steel hammer behind him also put on an arrogant look at the right time.

The older guards pulled back the younger guards who wanted to argue with their arguments.

The old guard said with a flattering face: "Of course there is no problem, my lord, these rules are set for those brainless commoners, you are a nobleman, of course you don't have to abide by these rules." I wonder if this dwarven master has any special requirements?"

Leo, who was in a suddenly bad mood, let out a muffled hum from his nostrils and said, "The dwarven master will be taken care of by me personally, so I won't worry about you. We can always get into town now, huh?"

"Of course, of course, you please. The Dwarven Master is also invited, as well as the Honorable Viscountess. ”

Seeing the flattering appearance of the guards, Leo disdainfully shook the whip in his hand and snapped, and then walked towards the Golden City.

Behind Leo, the young guard said to the older guard with a look of disgrief: "Dressed like this in the winter, the nobles are all insane. Captain, let them cut in line, why can they not follow the rules of Lord Earl?"

The older guard poked the younger guard in the head.

"How many times have I told you, commoners have the rules of commoners, nobles have rules of nobles, we just need to keep the rules of commoners. ”

The young guard looked at the older guard unconvinced and asked, "Then why don't you even check their noble seal?"

The older guard sighed: "What else to check, if you really find out that they have a noble seal, guess what they will do to you? A nobleman, you can see from his bearing and clothes." Don't look at the thinness of this pair of nobles, but that is the full aristocratic demeanor, and the temperature is not worth mentioning at all before the magnanimity. And a single jewel from the necklace around the necklace of that viscountess could buy your whole family and dig a mine for four hundred years. If none of them were nobles, there would be no nobles anymore. ”

The older guards were experienced and had vicious eyes, and their guesses about whether it was Leo and his party were nobles were very correct.

If the duke's eldest son is not a nobleman, then everyone can only be a commoner.

Except for one thing.

Aristocracy can also be full of rhapsodies.
