Chapter 422: Wangcheng
"I thought the people in Wangcheng were different, but I didn't expect there to be such annoying people......"
"It's still a little different, do you think the streets are much cleaner than the others? And the pedestrians on the streets are almost as dressed as the rich and noble families of Shetton. “
"But I feel that the people here are so indifferent, with an expression on my face that no one should enter......"
The trio sold back the horses they had ridden all the way to a transport agency that specialized in this business, and then walked into the royal city.
The royal city of the Maleno Empire was roughly divided into four regions.
At the center of it is the Imperial Palace, located in the northern part of the city, which is composed of a castle five times larger than the Snow Castle, plus a square and surrounding buildings. For ordinary people, this palace is a place that is impossible to visit in this life.
Along the south, east, west, and west sides of the palace, beyond the outlying buildings, is the so-called "rich area", which is the refuge of many nobles who did not have fiefdoms, and in addition to them, ministers who have reached a certain level, rich and wealthy people, or strong people who have reached a certain level of strength, also have a house here.
The third level, the largest in the middle, is the main part of the Intracity – where most of the middle class is located – and this is also the most prosperous area. The buildings here are generally higher, and the high-end apartments have replaced the single-family houses as the most numerous apartments. The density of shopping and entertainment venues is also quite large. In an area close to the wealthy area, most of the government departments are located.
The outermost layer was outside the city wall, the area that Su Wen had just seen. This is a newly established development zone in the past 100 years, and in addition to what they just saw, there are some high-tech industries that have taken root here, and there are also many working people who are not wealthy and live here.
In general, the royal city of the Marenor Empire is very layered.
There is a life of drunken gold fans, and there are also rising steps where hard work can be rewarded.
"Isn't it a little inappropriate for us to dress like this......" Mia looked at the clothes on the street that were almost as gorgeous as the costumes, and was a little embarrassed.
"Probably, I feel like these people are always looking at us......" Ellie also felt a little uncomfortable because of the eyes of passers-by.
The reason why passers-by looked at them, in addition to the relatively plain clothes, was also the appearance of the two people who did not match the clothes.
"Then find a place to buy clothes to change into?"
Although it is not the focus of attention, after these passers-by withdraw their gaze from the two women, they will always stay on Su Wen for a few seconds, and then leave all kinds of eyes such as "disdain", "surprise", and "can't figure it out", and then walk away.
This proposal was unanimously agreed by the two of them.
Ellie thought about it, and then suddenly lost her voice.
When Su Wen and Mia noticed that Ellie had suddenly fallen behind, Ellie appeared in front of the two of them wearing a very high-end black coat and a pair of medium-cut leather boots that were also black.
"In that case, it should be fine. Ellie's face was relaxed.
"You ...... dressed," Mia was dumbfounded.
"How about you do it according to the style you just looked at in the window, okay?" said Ellie, making a gesture for display.
Shaping a piece of armor into a garment is clearly an advanced extension of the basic application.
Ellie, after going through the disguise, the group of three looked like a big lady with two entourage. It's just that although this eldest lady seems to be worthy of the name, these two "entourage" are really a little out of their hands. After all, in the royal city, the powerful who can go out with their entourage will not make their entourage look too shabby.
This situation was only slightly alleviated after the three of them went to a store that looked okay and bought clothes.
Although the attitude of the clerks was quite good during the whole process of buying clothes, Su Wen always felt that if it weren't for Ellie, who "looked like a rich lady", these clerks might have given them a face. After all, they don't look like they're rich.
But after changing their clothes and coming out, the three of them always felt that the passers-by noticed their gaze more intensively.
In fact, this kind of gaze is just a simple "wow, there are good-looking girls here, I want to look at them twice", but it still made Ellie feel quite stressed.
"What's the situation with you, it feels a little wrong...... Su Wen also noticed Ellie's abnormality and asked.
"Well, nothing. Ellie rarely didn't tell Su Wen how she really felt.
After observation, Su Wen found that Ellie was a little "nervous".
Although they are also people's eyes, the eyes of these pedestrians in Wangcheng are fundamentally different from the eyes of the audience on the stage of the Winter Festival in the academy.
The Imperial Academy is a "familiar place" for Ellie, and although there is occasionally some pressure to do anything in that place, these pressures are much less, and in the royal city, the wide and clean streets and luxurious shops on both sides of the royal city themselves bring a trace of pressure to Ellie who comes to the royal city for the first time, and the passers-by who cast their eyes still have a kind of "nobility from the royal city".
In the end, this is just Ellie's "fear of the unknown".
Wangcheng is a human society, which is different from the uninhabited area of the northern snow-capped mountains where monsters are rampant and speak with power.
In fact, not only Ellie, but even Mia was a little nervous. Her nervousness stems from her understanding of the royal city.
Although it is located in a remote corner, it can be regarded as a town outside Markaway, but Mia has also learned about this knowledge because of her love for music.
Therefore, she also knows that Wangcheng is the place where many Makeno's contemporary musicians are located, whether it is the artistic level of the musicians or the appreciation level of the audience, I don't know how high it is compared to the place like Markway!
Therefore, when she arrived at this "musical mecca" in her mind, Mia felt nervous.
The only thing that didn't feel anything was Su Wen.
Nervous, scared, hesitant...... These negative emotions do not exist. Even, even the breathtaking just now only lasted for a short moment.
This is also where Su Wen regrets. Because he can't generate some emotional feedback on the new environment like a normal person. Therefore, he is still a little envious of the two.
"Goo-"
Walking on the road, Su Wen suddenly heard a strange noise, turned his head, and realized that it was the sound from Ellie's stomach.
"Hungry?"
Ellie nodded unnoticedly, a little wryly.
"So, what do you want to eat? There are a lot of places to eat in the royal city......"
Speaking of eating, Ellie seems to have returned to normal, and under the guidance of Su Wen, she smells the fragrance from these restaurants and chooses the most satisfactory one.
