In the city at dusk, there is a faint green smoke rising from countless chimneys in the city.

A flock of grey pigeons hovered in the sky, wandering the rows of rooftops, looking for nests to nest in the setting sun.

At the top of the four tallest watchtowers at the head of the city, several banners of the Bena Legion were sewn and fluttering.

The soldiers of the watchtower carried Paglio spears and longbows on their backs, constantly patrolling the tower, the setting sun gilded the iron armor of the soldiers with a layer of golden light, and there was a long queue at the gate of the city, as if merchants were coming from all directions, waiting to enter the city, some of them drove the carriage, some of them carried heavy bags on their shoulders, and the long line even formed a hollow shape outside the city.

The camp of the Bednar Legion was not stationed in the city, but occupied a large farm of sunflowers by the river, east of the main town of Handanaar, and thousands of tents were set up along the river to the top of the dirt slope in the distance.

Before going to the barracks to report on his duties, the knight of Trollope decided to send He Boqiang into the city first, if he was allowed to enter the city alone, maybe He Boqiang would need to wait outside the city for most of the night, the battle of Handanar County had begun, and merchants from all over the country gathered here, so the city was also crowded with people.

There are many large merchant groups that even set up their temporary camps outside the city, He Boqiang saw a group of thunder rhinos standing by the river drinking water, only to remember that there seems to be a group of thunder rhinos in the forest camp camp, as the forest camp was captured by the demon army, I don't know what the fate of those thunder rhinos is.

The knight of Trolope wears the coat of arms of a knight and the coat of arms, and he rides on a Gubolai horse, giving way to him wherever he goes.

Even at the crowded city gate, the knights of Trolop were unimpeded all the way, and the guards guarding the city gate did not even collect taxes for entering the city, and several guards standing at the gate of the city gave a standard military salute to the knights of Trooppe, and He Boqiang followed the knights of Trolop and walked into the crowded city of Handanaar.

The city is not very big, with a permanent population of less than 300,000, the streets in the city are neatly built, the main street is paved with some huge stone strips, there are drainage culverts on both sides of the road, and there are some shops on both sides of the culverts, most of the buildings in the city are wood and stone structures, the shapes of the stones are different, so that the gaps in the walls of these buildings are also very different, usually the walls of the buildings are made of gray rocks, and the doors, windows and roofs are wooden frame structures.

He Boqiang lived in a tent for nearly four months, and when he walked into Handanar City, he saw a vibrant city, with the terraced attics on both sides of the market, the windows were open, some gauze curtains peeked out of the windows, and there were some flower pots full of green plants on the balcony, and the thin gauze clothes on the clothes pole would always make people reverie.

The shops on both sides of the road are full of goods, the streets are filled with the aroma of various foods mixed together, looking at the tall and fair-skinned imperial people with long golden, red, and maroon hair on their heads huddled together, He Boqiang even forgot that he was one of them, some bold girls wore light gauze clothes, and when they passed by He Boqiang's side, they would never skimp on the smiles on their faces, they were bold and unrestrained.

The knight of Trollope, who was riding on the horse, deliberately slowed down, leaned over He Boqiang and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered to him: "Knight Surdak, be careful of your pockets and valuable things on your body, there will be annoying thieves wherever you are." ”

He Boqiang nodded vigilantly.

The knight of Trollope took He Boqiang to the door of a hotel called maple pudding at the crossroads, and the waiter at the door saw the knight of Trollope stop, and immediately took out a three-story wooden ladder to help the knight of Trollope off his horse.

"Watch my horse!" The knight of Trolope said to one of the attendants beside him with a straight face, and threw the three copper coins to the attendant.

"I'm here for you, Knight!" After taking the copper coin, the waiter hurriedly said.

The knight of Trolope was a little difficult to walk, and the two attendants tried to come over to help, but he waved his hand and refused.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, the knight of Trollope took off the nameplate on his chest and placed it at the front desk, and said to the male waitress in the front desk:

"I need a clean room facing the street that is not too noisy, preferably with a private bathroom......"

The waitress glanced at the nameplate of the Knight of Trolope, and immediately said very respectfully:

"I'll do it for you right now, Your Excellency the Viscount!"

While the two were waiting for check-in, a businessman in a dress next to him also took the opportunity to say to the male hostess:

"Please open me a ...... too"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the waitress directly interrupted him without even raising his head, saying:

"I'm sorry, sir, our store is full, please go to another hotel and see if there are any free rooms."

The merchant in the dress looked a little unhappy, and asked the waitress at the front desk, "But you were still checking in to your room just now......

Only then did the waitress raise his head and say to the merchant with a straight face, "The empty room on the third floor is dedicated to entertaining nobles, do you want to live in it too?" ”

"Alright! I don't mean to. The merchant spread his hands helplessly, turned and left with his attendant.

The people in the hall on the first floor seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and no one was surprised or indignant, they were not even in the mood to watch a good show, as if this kind of scene was the most normal, the nobles seemed to be treated with all kinds of preferential treatment wherever they were, and the commoners seemed to be able to stay only in some shabby small inns, even if they were a successful merchant in the status of a commoner.

The knight of Trollope settled He Boqiang into this inn, dragged his injured leg downstairs in the restaurant, accompanied He Boqiang to dinner, showed He Boqiang when he should give the waiters some tips, and made an appointment to meet outside the barracks tomorrow, and then rode away.

He Boqiang did not return to the room immediately, but continued to stay in the restaurant, the lemon tea at the table was bubbling faintly, leaning on the back of his chair through the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

By this time, it was already dark, and many passers-by looked enviously at the window, and they seemed to be carefully observing the exquisite dishes on the table.

The consumption here is not low, and a meal costs about a dozen silver hammers, which is equivalent to ten days' salary of an ordinary civilian craftsman.

Fortunately, He Boqiang's money bag still has enough gold coins for now, but he is still not ready to visit this high-end restaurant again, the food here is too expensive for him, maybe the bakery on the street can buy cheap and delicious white bread.

The street lamps of Handanar City were lit one after another, and he drank the last bit of tea in his cup, and beckoned to the waiter beside him, who came over, and He Boqiang asked the waiter, "Where can I buy some sturdy envelopes, preferably those of parchment." ”

The waiter bowed his head and replied, "Knight Surdak, I can serve you as much as you need." ”

"Twelve envelopes are sufficient, and if you buy them, please send them to room 307." He Boqiang thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Knight Surdak, do you have any other orders?" The waiter asked.

"Also, please help me settle the cost of this meal." He Boqiang said.

The waiter was a little stunned and said, "Baron Trollope has already paid for your meal and the cost of your stay." Also, tomorrow morning's breakfast, would you like to eat it here, or in the bedroom on the third floor? ”

He Boqiang thought for a while and said, "It's right here!" ”

The waiter bowed slightly, and said respectfully to He Boqiang: "Breakfast time is from seven to nine o'clock in the morning, Knight Surdak, if you have any other additional needs, please feel free to ......"
