Chapter 217: Markway City (Part II)
After Su Wen entered the city, he said goodbye to the transportation team of the Sword of the Dragon River, because Hank had greeted him in advance, so these adventurers did not have any doubts about Su Wen's behavior.
In other words, the things arranged by the chief, they are inconvenient to ask.
Maybe some of them guessed the identity of the teacher of the Suwen Imperial Academy, but when you are out of the house, who cares what your identity is? Do you have to walk outside, like the ancient emperor, and proclaim to the whole city who you are who you are?
Su Wen was just one of the countless adventurers in this Markway City. This is true in terms of appearance, behavior, and personal momentum.
In Markway City during the day, unlike what Su Wen imagined, there were basically no people hanging out on the street, and in the shops on both sides of the street, the clerks were also a little listless.
However, the blacksmith and apothecary were different from other places and seemed quite busy.
When the sun is shining, of course, it is also when adventurers go out hunting, so naturally they will not stay in the city.
It is only at night that this city of Makwe reveals its true face.
The monotonous scenery along the way made Su Wen have the idea of staying in Markwei City for a while, so he didn't immediately set off for the ancient battlefield in the west, but found a slightly high-grade hotel and stayed.
Most of the hotels in Markway City are the type with a dozen beds in a large room, which is cheap and convenient for the casual adventurer.
In order to avoid some possible accidents, coupled with personal habits, Su Wen naturally did not go to that kind of cheap hotel.
After Su Wen came to the room, he immediately took a bath to wash away the dust and mental exhaustion on his body. Although he has the bonus of riding skills, the horseback life in the past few days still makes Su Wen feel not very good.
Maybe it's because I'm used to being comfortable in the academy.
After taking a bath, Su Wen, who was relaxed, fell into a state of thinking and asking.
Although there is enough time for him to think about things along the way, in the monotonous journey without a sense of oppression, thinking is not efficient.
But in Makewei City next to this ancient battlefield, Su Wen had to speed up his thinking.
Why are you at the top of the Tower of Oblivion?
This question was skipped by Su Wen when he woke up because of his still vague head at the time, but after recovering some scattered memories, this question reappeared in his mind.
The gem that Ellie brought out of the dungeon has a continuous memory, these memories are not as ethereal as those fragmented memories before, but make Su Wen feel a sense of reality, just like the things in the memory, which happened not long ago.
That memory is about a person.
But I can't remember the person's name, gender, or appearance. Su Wen could only conclude that there was such a person, and then in a place where there were many towers, there was a tragic battle.
The place where there are many towers is naturally this ancient battlefield.
This ancient battlefield is located at the southern end of the Malenor Empire, stretching from Shelton in the west to Markwi in the east, a narrow hill to the south of the Longjiang River to the north, and the sea to the south.
It was so vast that it occupied almost a fifth of the land area of the Marreno Empire.
Although other things can't be verified for the time being, Su Wen can confirm one thing, that is, in addition to being a traverser, he is also an old monster who has traveled hundreds or even thousands of years.
I don't know how many things have been experienced like the change of dynasties from generation to generation, but these memories have turned into various gems and are scattered in all corners of this world.
To say it's a pity, Su Wen still has a little pity, after all, it's his memory.
Originally, Su Wen was still a little anxious, but after arriving at Markwei City, the whole person calmed down.
With Su Wen's current ability, he really can't be anxious about something.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and night enveloped the entire city of Markway. Bright lights lit up around the Castle Lord's Mansion in the north, but in the north, except for the Castle Lord's Mansion, the other lights were rather scattered and faint.
For to the north of the city of Makwe was the residential area of the powerful, and the houses were large and scattered. To the south is the main living area for the citizens.
Although the lights are not as bright as the City Lord's Mansion, they are not necessarily much inferior.
Coupled with the boiling voices of people and pedestrians, the whole southern city seems to be lively. However, when you get closer, you will find that the noise in the south is a bit vulgar.
Dusk is the time for adventurers to process the harvest, and the night after dusk turns into a carnival. After fighting the monsters, it was already a kind of luck to be able to return to the city safely, and naturally, they became quite enjoyable because of this.
Therefore, food, wine and beauty have become the main theme of the entire southern city.
Taverns and barbecue stalls fill the streets, adventurers cheer one after another, and on the streets, you can also see young people pulling small carts and constantly carrying wine barrels. Since the hard and fast rule that "you are allowed to bring your own alcohol when you dine", more and more adventurers are choosing to buy cheaper wine from outside.
Although this decree reduced the income of many restaurants a lot, it was only because of the support of the adventurers and other tax incentives granted by the lords that it was successfully enforced.
The brothels in Markway City are different from other places. Prior to this, Su Wen had only seen the brothels in College Town, perhaps because of the existence of the Imperial Academy, which made the brothels in College Town seem quite low-key, so low-key that they didn't even dare to play the sign of the brothel.
However, Su Wen had also heard of the brothel in Wangcheng, and the brothel there was a fairly civilized and elegant place.
And the brothel here is by no means the kind of flower in the royal city, but a real financial transaction.
The buyer and seller bargain as if they were visiting a shopping mall, and it seems that what they are buying and selling is not a night of warmth, but a bundle of Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market.
This point also surprised Su Wenqi.
However, Su Wen was not interested in these transactions, and just wandered around the street casually. In addition, he also found an interesting phenomenon, that is, there are too many small thieves on this street.
Maybe it's because Su Wen's dress is quite shabby, even if he exposes his flaws several times, no thief will attack him, with the eyes of these people, they regard Su Wen as the kind of poor adventurer who has no money.
As everyone knows, the cash in Su Wen's wallet can almost buy one of the most prosperous shops on this street.
That's about a dozen 1,000 silver bills and some change.
The change was Su Wen's own salary as a teacher, and the rest of the large denomination notes were Ellie's profits from the Doruffin Brotherhood.
After getting this huge wealth and having a stable income, Ellie did not lose herself, but handed it all over to Su Wen, in Ellie's meaning, it can be regarded as a small part of "repaying the favor", in addition, she also sent a suitable amount of money to her grandmother in her hometown.
However, money is no different from paper to Su Wen.
After strolling around for a while, Su Wen found a tavern that looked relatively quiet, walked in, and prepared to settle a dinner.
