Chapter XXXVII
Sixteen war towers stand around the city of Ranto. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The purpose of the existence of the city wall is to facilitate the registration and management of personnel, to prevent criminals, not to use it for war.
Even the function of blocking criminals, the city wall is often difficult to do, because the people of this world, the gold level can fly, and the silver level has to cross the city wall of about ten meters, just like playing, building a city wall that is too high is purely laborious and costly.
A War Tower that can heal, support, and attack is an excellent defensive weapon.
The city of Lanto was built because of the mineral deposits, which are associated with the mineral deposits, and also produce copper, iron, and gold.
Not only that, but you can occasionally be lucky enough to come across a few energy ashlars.
Therefore, if Toposso is a wealthy place, then Viscount Lanto is rich.
In order to prevent the rats from peeking into their own small coffers. Viscount Lanto spared no expense to build sixteen war towers.
Under such a defensive system, the people of Ranto City were clearly far away from the war than the people of Toposo.
Several times gold-level demonic beasts came to attack, and they didn't even see the appearance of Viscount Lanto, and they were beaten into dogs by the War Tower.
I see.
Lynch sat in the carriage and listened to Bray's enthusiastic introduction, nodding symbolically as he jotted down the information needed.
Norma looked at Bray's introduction like a treasure, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Mr. Lynch is from the imperial capital, what kind of big scene has not been seen, I haven't seen people's calm expressions, and the reason why he nodded is just to be polite.
However, she didn't know the uproar under Lynch's calm expression.
Lynch is not a person who likes to complain, but for sending him to such a dangerous world, there must be complaints, and there is no other gain for him to come here except danger.
Now that I see the splendor of the otherworldly culture, I have a trace of thoughts other than survival.
At this time, the sky began to darken, and light and shadow were exchanged on the earth.
Magical light adorns the tower, making it dreamlike.
If the scale of the war tower is grand, the magnificence of the architecture will certainly not be comparable to the skyscrapers of later generations.
But its hideous fangs, coagulated blood, and the cold light that floated from time to time gave a spiritual shock from another angle.
It's called the aesthetics of violence.
"The eldest husband is not born with five tripods, and when he dies, he is five tripods. Looking up at the tower, Lynch involuntarily said a sentence in Chinese.
"Hey, I didn't expect me to have this kind of boredom too. Lynch laughed at himself, and closed the curtains on the carriage, and closed his eyes without looking out.
"Mr. Lynch?" Norma called softly, but nothing responded.
Perhaps it was because he sensed that the atmosphere had become wrong, and the rest of the journey was basically spent in silence.
Until the warm voice of the Knight of Winton came.
"Master Bray, Miss Norma, and Lord Lynch have arrived at the Mercenary Association. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm in a bad mood when I think about the past. Pulling Bray and Norma out of the carriage, Lynch apologized.
The two shook their heads and said they didn't mind.
"It is a great honor for Master Bray, Miss Norma, and Master Lynch to be here, the accommodation and meals have been arranged, the adults must be in need of rest after a long journey, please come with me. "Deacon Ivan had been waiting here for their arrival half a day ago.
Lynch and the others set out from Toposo to Lanto City early in the morning, and arrived at Lanto City until the sun was nearly setting
"No need, if you arrange everything, what kind of experience is it?" Bray is obviously not a qualified nobleman, his emotions are too obvious, if Lynch or the Knights of Vinton arrange him, he will obey, if he meets a mortal like Ivan, he will come by temperament.
"This, this, of course there is no problem, I don't know what Young Master Bray has to order. Ivan gave Lynch a wink and replied.
"We've had supplies on the way, and we're not hungry yet, but thank you very much for being conscientious, and Bray, don't you even know how to be polite?" Norma said softly to Ivan, then turned her head and reproached a little harshly.
(Polite, funny.) )
Lynch, Knights Winton and others only came with Bray and Norma to assist or protect their safety, which means that all external affairs are handled by themselves.
That's why Bray made his own decisions in the first place.
What makes Lynch quite amused is that the politeness mentioned by Norma, after making up a lot of knowledge, Lynch understands that etiquette and politeness are two completely different words.
Etiquette is the rule, the dignity and the inferiority, the tool of the nobles to declare their status and the tool of rule.
There is a saying in ancient China that there is no etiquette for a corporal, and for people who have no status, there is no need to pay attention to etiquette, in other words, no matter how much Bray scolds Ivan, it doesn't matter.
Politeness was a means for the nobility to show kindness to the lower classes.
In this world, some nobles are considered rude, referring to his lack of politeness to the low-level people, rather than disobedience to etiquette.
"Don't dare to be," Norma's politeness made Ivan highly nervous, many nobles are quirks, and after serving in the mercenary association for a long time, they know the problems of many nobles.
Thinking of this, Ivan's legs became weak, and he plopped and knelt down directly.
"Young Master Bray has his own ideas, and villains shouldn't be in charge of their own affairs. A thousand mistakes are the fault of the villain. ”
"It's all the fault of the villain, it's all the fault of the villain. ”
Just being polite can cause such an impact, and the coercion of the nobility has been deeply rooted in this world.
"You see, my sister frightened him. For a rare time, Bray had the upper hand and said in a tone of under-beatenness.
"Well, it's just a trifle. It just so happened that I was a little hungry, and since the deacon was prepared, I went to enjoy it. "Lynch came out to play the round and looked at Norma, who she obviously didn't expect.
"Thank you, Lord Lynch, thank you, Lord Lynch. Ivan hurriedly got up as if he had been amnesty, and bent down to show Lynch the way.
"Familiarity counteracts majesty, and the people of Toposo are united in weal and woe, and this is the essence of the Baron, so they have more respect than awe. ”
"The citizens of Lanto City are different, and it is good to be polite, so pay attention to the method. ”
For a smart child like Norma, Lynch still likes it, so he mentioned two sentences.
"Thank you for the teacher's guidance, I was negligent. Norma suddenly realized.
After saying that, Lynch, Elven Swordsman, and Sally followed Ivan to rest as a group, while Bray and the others were visiting the mercenary association whose main shares belonged to their Toposso Territory.
Along the way, Ivan said some flattering words with a flattering smile and waited while Lynch and the others were eating.
"This is a reward for you, see that you are still clever in your tongue, and tell me what interesting things have happened in Lanto City lately. "Lynch eats hearty dishes, listens to sycophants, and listens comfortably, who doesn't like to be complimented by others.
Isn't it because the emperor likes to favor his ministers because they all come with him?
Ivan nimbly received a silver coin thrown by Lynch, and his eyes narrowed, revealing a look of greed and reluctance.
"Why should Lord Lynch reward money, such a trivial matter, the villain is naturally rewarded. ”
"Have you ever seen the reward money and the reason for recovering it? Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly. "Lynch is actually not a snob, he will not be polite to people with status, and he will be strict with the bottom like Ivan, but when he meets people, he talks nonsense when he meets ghosts, and if he wants to be honest with people like Ivan, he has to behave in a way that they can understand.
"Yes, yes, yes, no villain. Ivan hurriedly stuffed the silver coin into his pocket, for fear that the money would run away.
"Lord Lynch, if you want to talk about what happened in Lanto City recently, the biggest thing should be. Ivan's eyes rolled around, as if to indicate that the wall had ears.
Say. "Lynch is not welcome, and let the elven swordsman beat him if he talks nonsense.
After selling the preciousness of his information, it turned out that Lynch was a little angry, and Ivan hurriedly approached and whispered
"The youngest daughter of Viscount Ranto, ran away with a bard. ”
"What did you say?" Lynch called out in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
