Chapter 19: Entering the City of Shetton

Three days later, Su Wen and the four of them appeared at the gate of Xuedun City.

As an up-and-coming city, Shelton City is more organized in terms of planning than other historic cities. The city is centered on the four-storey Shelton Castle and radiates outward. From the outside to the inside, the status of the occupants increases sequentially.

Xuedun City is in the relatively peaceful area in the south of the Malenor Empire, and the main industry is agriculture and animal husbandry. In addition, the winemaking industry of Xueton City is also an important part of its economic industry, among which, the "Songmang" winery owned by Baron Xueton is well-known as the signboard of Xuedun City.

Due to the increase in the number of adventurers, the number of city guards at the gate of Xuedun City has also doubled, and a magician on duty has also been arranged at each gate in case any accident happens.

The main road in the outer part of Shelton City is accessible to small mounts. The four men rode horses and drove at a speed not exceeding the prescribed speed on a dirt road known as the "main road".

In a village on the way, Su Wen bought two inferior horses for 110 silver as a means of transportation for himself and Ellie.

After entering the city, Greenfell led the other three to the place agreed with Remir to rendezvous, and it didn't take long for the rest of the adventurers to arrive here, and they were all together.

After the rendezvous, Greenfell and the other two adventurers broke away from the group and found another hotel to stay overnight. After Su Wen's inquiry, he learned that the three of them were all Snow Eagle Knight Order soldiers disguised as adventurers, and Remir and Greenfell were fellow villagers with good personal relations, one was a soldier in the army, and the other was active in various places as an adventurer, and the other party could also help a little when needed in peacetime.

Although Remir was very reluctant to give up the opportunity to have a relationship with Su Wen, a strong man, it seemed that he had to choose to give up because he knew the task that Greenfell had. It's just that when he was leaving, he said a lot of things like "If you need help in the future, just ask" to Su Wen.

Su Wen didn't care about this kind of scene, nodded silently, and maintained a wave of his "mastery demeanor".

"Su Wen, open the door!"

There was a sound of banging on the door outside the door, and before Su Wen was sitting on the bed and got up, Greenfell, who was standing at the window, had already walked over and opened the door. Although it is walking, that kind of speed can actually be called running.

It is worthy of being a human spirit.

Ellie rushed into the house, walked up to Su Wen, and said, "Let's go Su Wen, go find out about my grandmother." ”

"Now?" Su Wen's buttocks ached faintly after three days of rushing on the horse, and the muscles in his thighs were stiff.

Ellie nodded earnestly.

"Miss Ellie, according to the news, the victims from that village have been placed in a pasture in the east of the city, not far from the city guard camp, and should be very safe. Greenfield said: "Now it is forbidden for idle people to enter, if you want to go, you need to go in and out as a relative, but that agency is now closed, you have to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the civil affairs center to handle it......"

Su Wen suddenly had the illusion of traveling back in time.

"Can't you go now?" asked Ellie reluctantly.

"It wouldn't be nice if it caused a misunderstanding among the city guards......"

"Alright Ellie. Su Wen also persuaded: "Aren't you tired after driving for so long? just take a little rest today, and we'll go over early tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Oh well. Ellie slumped back to her room.

The six of them rented a total of three adjoining rooms in the hotel, with Ellie and Marlena in the middle and the other four on either side. Greenfell meant to give up the entire house to Su Wen and go live with the other two soldiers by himself, but Su Wen refused, saying that he didn't mind living with Greenfell.

After a short rest, the group came to the lobby of the hotel to prepare for dinner. The two soldiers had already fallen asleep, and only after Su Wen's questioning did they know that this was to prepare for the vigil.

The environment inside the city can be even more dangerous than in the wild.

The five chose one to sit in the corner.

In order to increase income, this store has launched a campaign to rent a room and deliver dinner, but in fact, it is not much cheaper than outside, which makes the tenants feel that it is worth it, and the wool comes from the sheep.

Several people live in this kind of movable room, in addition to their own free meals, considering Ellie's appetite, Su Wen added some more dishes.

At the dinner table, Greenfell introduced some basic information about the city of Xueton. The other soldier was also eating, but most of his attention was focused on guarding his surroundings.

"Shelton III, quite young, was a benevolent lord who was keen on economic development. And Xuetun City has no direct stake in Snow Castle, so those people should not trouble us through the hands of Baron Xueton, and it is safe. ”

"But beware of the Black Rope Society, the more people there are, the more likely they are to lurk. Greenfield's expression was not relaxed, obviously, in his eyes, the black rope would be a group of extremely dangerous enemies: "These few days should be enough for them to react, and they must be on guard against their sneak attacks at any time." ”

"You ask what it means to be a 'third-rate strongman'. Su Wen found the gap and whispered a message to Ellie. Su Wen, who was at a loss about the power system of this world, was really a little concerned and couldn't help but be curious, so he wanted to ask through Ellie's mouth.

If it were him, he would be embarrassed to ask such a basic question to Greenfell, who regarded himself as a great power.

"Why don't you ask?" Ellie was still a little apprehensive about asking strangers questions, and subconsciously declined the request to ask questions to Greenfell, Marlena's retainer.

This sentence was also passed in a way that could only be heard by Su Wen, and Ellie seemed to have a strong racial talent in terms of voice.

"Just ask!"

“...... All right. Ellie couldn't stand Su Wen's second request and asked.

"That, I heard the man in black say something about a 'third-rate' powerhouse, what does that mean?"

Greenfield probably didn't expect that this powerful girl who couldn't see through herself would not know this basic classification, and Marlena also looked willing to hear about it, so she explained: "This is a judgment system made according to the theory of the archmage Antonidas a century ago, with pure strength as the evaluation criterion. ”

"There are six classes, and within each class, there are three to ten sub-classes, and this system is also very useful today. ”

"The third level is a watershed, once you break through the third level, your strength will increase greatly, and you will be called a 'third-rate' powerhouse. ”

"And what rank are you now?" Ellie asked the impolite question stupidly.

"I'm ashamed that I'm now a second-class mid-level. Greenfield's sentence was mainly to Marina: "Because most of the duke's subordinates are famous and powerful men, if they come over, they will attract the attention of many people, and it is inconvenient to act in the shadows." ”

"I am grateful to have Mr. Greenfield here. Marlena didn't complain.

Su Wen wiped his mouth, and then interjected: "Strength is not the only criterion for evaluating a person, judging from the previous performance, Greenfield is still quite suitable for this job." ”

Lord Su Wen praised it falsely. ”

When he was in the village, Greenfield dared to come to inquire about the situation of Su Wen and the others, and in the case of the monster's reaction, this kind of courage was already terrifying. Even Su Wen at that time did not expect that such an adventurer who looked like a philistine would be a knight under the Duke of Snow Castle. When encountering mountain bandits, Greenfield's performance can also show how sensitive he is to intelligence.

Although Greenfield gave an answer, Su Wen still had some questions that were not resolved. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to check the relevant information to know.

The hall was almost full, and the inn seemed to be a very well-dressed upper-class people, including wealthy merchants, farmers, officials, and some young young masters.

The original intention of choosing this place is probably because it is not easy to produce any moths in the places where these rich and noble families gather.

If you have a simple dinner, you can sit down in the lobby and order some food at random, and if you have something to discuss, you will have a private room and prepare delicious food and wine in it.

Most of the people who know each other will say hello and toast or something. Most of the upper class in Xuedun City knew each other and got along well. At least in this big picture.

Ellie controlled the speed at which she ate, and although she didn't seem to be eating much, she basically destroyed most of the things on the table. The others, who were not sluggish people, noticed the detail, but didn't dare to say anything.

Marlena only knew that this former little girl next door, thanks to this mysterious black-haired man, had become a powerful existence close to the limit of her imagination.

Not to mention Greenfield and the other soldier, they had seen the horror of the two of them when they were in the village, and Su Wen's dragon roar left a deep impression on them. Even if there was still a little doubt in my heart about the monster breath that came from Ellie's body at that time, I didn't dare to confide this idea, not to mention, after getting along in the past few days, Ellie gave them the feeling that she was just an ordinary girl.

After dinner, the soldier packed a portion of food and brought it back to the room as dinner for the soldier who was keeping vigil tonight. Judging from the military rank, Greenfield seems to be higher than the two, and all their actions are subject to Greenfield's orders.

When Greenfield took out his wallet to pay the bill, Su Wen accidentally glanced at his wallet.

Dozens of brand-new 100 denomination silver bills were lying inside, and even the loose money next to them, roughly calculated, exceeded the entire net worth of Su Wen and Ellie.

Su Wen finally recovered from the shock, and sure enough, he was worthy of being a subordinate of the duke, and he was also rich and wealthy when he was ordered to go on business......
