There were no paving stones on the streets of Laus, at least not in the streets of the slums, which Lusen was now walking on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese dirt roads are narrow and potholed, and because of the clutter of houses on both sides, the air on the street is difficult to circulate, and there is almost no direct sunlight.

The ground is full of mud composed of human feces, rotten water, garbage, horse manure, pig feces, chicken, duck and goose feces and dust, plus the snow water that has been civilized today, the whole scene is even more difficult to see.

There are no public toilets, no stool troughs, and even Lu Sien has seen several random pedestrians everywhere, which is not an accident, and because of the severe lack of drainage and sanitation systems, sewage is trapped everywhere.

Fortunately, it was winter, and if it was summer, Lu Sien felt that just imagining the scene of flies in the sky, dirty livestock and poultry running around the streets, and sewage splashing everywhere was enough to make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Lu Sien suddenly remembered that those disgusting and disgusted traditional aristocratic images that would be contrived when they heard civilian words did not seem to be without reason, and they could be regarded as a conditioned reflex engraved in their genes. Suddenly, Lu Sien suddenly thought of some unrelated questions, such as how long the human civilization in this world had been established.

"How long will it take?" asked the little Harpy, who was carefully leading the way in front of him, frowning his mouth and nose while carefully controlling the horse's hooves not to be hurt by the sharp garbage on the ground.

"You have to go through three blocks. It seemed that he was always waiting for Lu Sien's inquiry, although he had been leading the way with his head bored, and little Harpy replied almost a moment after Lu Sien's words fell, "Master Pete didn't live so far before, but he moved a few days ago. ”

"He's still a master?" Hey, it's really fresh, Lu Sien couldn't help but be interested, in order to pass the boring time, whether it's to distract himself, he doesn't mind talking casually with this little guy.

"At first, he called Uncle Pete, but it seems that he made a big deal a few days ago, and it is said that he won the appreciation of the Hou Ye, so he moved to the top. Earlier, my family lived not far from his house, and Mr. Pete hired me to help when he moved, so few people except me know where his family lives. Seeing that Lu Sien actually accosted him, little Harpy also especially wanted to say a few words to such a big man who made a big mistake, and it was a good thing to say.

"What's that?" Lu Sien scoffed at the big business in Harpy's mouth, he knew how Pete made that big business, but he was a little interested in Pete's impatience to change the top.

"It's the place where the nobles and the priests live, it's much better than this place, and the road is paved with stone slabs, but it's ......," Harpy said in a long voice.

"But what?"

"But in addition to the lord who lives there or the servants of their manor outside the city, there are six additional inner city taxes to be paid there. Rubbing the freckles on the tip of his nose, little Harpy seemed a little embarrassed, but the look cast from the light brown eyes that rolled around was not half embarrassed.

"Got it, you damn kid! I'll pay for your share. "It's a kid in the end, such a small family. Lu Sien shook his head disappreciatively.

didn't know that little Harpy breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. The small amount of money that Lu Sien didn't look down on was a huge amount of money to him, and he wouldn't pay that inner city tax. Although there is still that yearning for a prosperous life in his heart, he clearly understands what kind of faces those old ladies in Shangcheng City use to look at him.

Let's make these things clear first, otherwise when we get to the gate of the inner city, if these things are not clear anymore, it will be light to be beaten, and if we are beaten in the arms of Yin Hao'er, who is already hot at this time in the arms of being snatched, then there is no place to cry.

If Lu Sien only showed a little sign of this just now, he would have already planned the route of his escape, while he was still in this narrow lower city, climbing over the walls and alleys, these horseback masters would not be able to catch him, anyway, he would have explained the direction to them......

Every profession has its own philosophy of survival, but Lu Sien didn't expect this clever little ghost to have such twists and turns in his heart.

"And what about the other side, what is it?" Lu Sien asked casually.

"Of course it's the palace of the Hou Ye, Nuo, right there!" Little Harpy pointed in a direction, and Lu Sien looked over, past the jagged eaves, and saw a red-topped tower spire, with a stag flag fluttering on it. "I don't know what it's like there, I was kicked out by the guards in the city after I finished working for Master Pete last time, and those lords don't like to watch people like us walk around their territory at will......"

The underside of the flag is only a few miles away, and the scene within it requires the inhabitants of this place to imagine with what little imagination they have.

Time flowed quickly in the conversation, and Lu Sien, who was about to say something, suddenly felt that his vision was brighter, and the air around him was much better, there were no houses in this area, only a stone wall, about four meters high, there were two standing tall guards at the city gate, and the configuration was much higher than the guards in the lower city, in addition to the short spear that looked much better in quality, there was also a metal helmet, a chain mail covering the shoulders and a half-chest heart armor, and a one-handed sword hanging on the waist.

"Here we are, sir, where to enter is the inner city. Losing the shelter of the house, the sudden strong cold wind made little Harpy shrink his neck, pointed to the guards at the city gate and spoke, his expression was a little excited, and he would soon have more bragging capital.

"Stop, what are you doing?" is indeed a lot more elite than the garrisons in the outer city, and before Lu Sien got too close, the guards noticed the abnormality and became nervously on guard.

"Oh, is that what you're talking about?" Lu Sien was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed to the package behind him. Now, Bucky's revelation is wrapped in the uniforms of the guards in the outer city.

"Reveal your identity, strange knight!" the guards were not as indifferent as Lu Sien, and still had a vigilant look on their faces, "What is your purpose?" If they don't get a satisfactory answer, they may have to call the garrison in the city. The upper and lower districts of elite life are not the same. Compared with the outer city, more than ninety percent of the armed forces in the town of Rouse are stationed here, which is far from being comparable to the outer city with only two weak chicken squads.

"Well, well, those idiots out there broke my bag, so they paid some price for my forgiveness. Lu Sien still looked unimpressed, "Do you want to take a look?"

"What's wrapped up there?" Of course, the guards would not simply believe that it was ordinary goods, but they also knew what kind of goods those individuals outside were, so they were not prepared to stand up for them, but only resolutely performed their duties.

"Red Dog's head, do you want to check it?" Although he asked, Lu Sien took the goods from the horses beside him and threw them to one of the guards.

hurriedly subconsciously caught it, and before he could react to what Lu Sien was talking about, he asked his companions around him to continue to be on guard, while carefully opening the package.

A red man's head rolled out, and the guards who were unprepared for a while almost let it fall to the ground, but they were not frightened, nor were they so easily frightened, as the core territory of the deputy duke, the guards in the inner city were all knights who had been trained for many years, but they also understood what Lu Sien was referring to by the red dog.

"I'm sorry, my lord, and I beg your pardon for our rudeness, although I don't know your name, but the one who can judge this executioner must be a powerful knight. The guard took care of the package from the beginning, respectfully handed it back to Lu Sien, and saluted at the same time, "Please accept my respect!"

It's not that Lu Sien has any royal spirit, and the guards don't mean anything else, it's just that this young man who was trained by the marquis from the village outside since he was a child, his previous village was plundered by this group of robbers, and his aunt also died tragically because of it.

Well, this poor soul can finally rest in peace.

Another piece of information flashed in the corner of Lu Sien's eyes.

Your reputation will increase by 60 points over the next two months.

Since you don't have a banner for the time being, this reputation boost is only half effective.

"I accept your respect. Because the other party's attitude was quite rigorous, and he also felt sincerity between his words, Lu Sien also gave a formal answer, "Then tell me now, what else do I have to do to pass through this gate that you are guarding." ”

"Oh, oh, yes, yes. Well, four people, four horses are a total of three lims. The guard's face was a little embarrassed, after all, he had just expressed his respect to Lu Sien, and in the blink of an eye, he asked the other party for money, although this money was collected for the lord, but it also made him have a subtle sense of disobedience in his previous respect.

"I didn't know that horses had to give money, sir. Little Harpy spoke nervously. I don't blame little Harpy for this, I'm afraid there is no such concept in this poor worldview that horses are also taxed when they pass.

"Oh, three lims, give. Lu Sien didn't care about anything, took out three silver coins and handed them to the little Harpy standing beside the horse, asking him to send the money to the guards.
