Chapter 88: Senderoko Manor
As one of the border cities between the Orsay Empire and the Lancer Empire, Hitra City should have become an important border town of the Orsay Empire! After hundreds of years of operation and development, Hitra City gradually evolved into a commercial city with a trading economy in peace.
After its function as a military power was weakened, the Empire had to build a border fortress in front of it to maintain its military power on the border. In this way, the whole city of Hitra gained more freedom, and since then it has gradually begun to diversify, and now the city of Hitra has become one of the richest places in the border towns of the Orsay Empire.
"We'll go to the city and then find a way to get information about the refugees. If the people you're talking about actually escaped to the border fortresses, then most of them were housed in the city of Hitla. Daciano pointed to the gate in the distance.
"That's what I thought, too, the border fortress is next to the city of Hitla, and it's too late to gather information when we're settled. What do you think, Bell?" echoed Anesa.
Bell squinted and thought about it for a moment, "That's fine, let's find a place to settle down first, and then we go our separate ways." If you have a base, you can do anything. β
"But the way we are now, will we be interrogated when we enter the city? Whether the war has begun, or the affairs of the outpost have made us wanted, we are all very good, right?" Susal spread his hands and looked at the three of them, the young man just couldn't be trusted, such an important issue could be ignored.
"Eh" Bell looked back, only to see that the clothes on everyone's bodies were still the same as they were worn when they entered the mountain a few days ago, and after a few days of survival, the clothes were tattered and tattered, and basically everyone had blood stains on their bodies, which might really cause trouble if they entered the city.
Just now at the villager's house, the two girls were bathed and changed into clean clothes. These big men are not embarrassed to trouble the villagers. I thought I would deal with it after entering the city, but it seemed that my idea was too naΓ―ve.
Daciano patted Bell on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's nothing to worry about! You and Anesa can't see anything by rubbing the leather clothes with water, and I have changed into new clothes, although this is not very good-looking, but at least the cleanliness will not cause any suspicion." As for the few of them, they can wait outside the city first, and we can go in and buy some new clothes for them. β
"That's all there is to it, Susar, you guys will be out for a moment for the time being, and we'll come out for you when we get clean clothes." Bell nodded.
"Where is there such trouble, you see! Aren't there some farms outside the city? I think we can get help from there. Annesa pointed into the distance, and Bell looked along, and sure enough, there were several farmsteads around the walls of the city of Hitla!
"There really is a farm...... Hey, I was so shocked when I first saw the city of Hitra that I didn't notice the farmsteads around it. In that case, let's go over and see if we can buy some clothes from there!" Daciano finally looked away from the Orsay Empire flag fluttering above the city.
The big men couldn't just wait at the entrance of the valley, and after following the three of them for a while, they stopped under the big tree not far from the farm.
The huge and magnificent city of Hitra, because of its rapid economic development, attracted many people to settle here, in order to ensure the food supply of the whole city, a large area of farmland and pastures were set up outside the city. When Bell and the others first came out of the valley, their eyes were full of tender green, and most of them were newly planted wheat except for the plains and meadows.
It was too far away to see what it was, but now as they walked along the road to the nearby farm, they realized that there were not only staggering quantities of wheat but also corn and cotton growing on both sides of the road.
"The farms next to the big city are really different, and the wheat fields in our village are not more than one percent of them here!" Bell sighed as he walked, he had never been to the city, and he was already impressed by the richness outside the city before he even entered.
Annesa was also very excited! Along the way, she kept looking left and right, sighing at the beautiful scenery in front of her! But Daciano had seen the world, and this scale of farming could be seen in the vicinity of any city, and only a child like Bell, who had never been out of a border village, had never seen such a scene.
And Anesa, who claims to be a soldier of the Orsay Empire, since she is not from the Vizko outpost, she must be from the city, but how can a soldier from the city be so excited because of such a scene? Daciano has been secretly observing Anesa, for her, this woman must have some kind of purpose for approaching Bell, which is undoubtedly the biggest unstable factor for the goal she wants to accomplish!
After walking through the field path, the three of them came to the gate of the fence of a farm, and further inside, there was an orchard and a field of cash crops. In order to ensure the interests of the owner of the farm, this place is not accessible to outsiders. It was already afternoon when the trio arrived, the sun was not the most poisonous, and the people who worked here were ready to start watering the crops.
A middle-aged woman walked from a distance with a bucket, and didn't seem to see the three people outside the fence gate, when Bell wanted to stop her, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked from the place where the woman appeared just now, looking dressed like a housekeeper, but his temperament was a little worse.
Before Bell could open his mouth, the middle-aged man waved at the three of them, "This is Sendrocco Farm!
As he spoke, the man had already arrived at the fence gate, and bowed deeply to the three of them, with a warm smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I'm the doorman here, Syros, and I'm not here just now because of some personal matters." β
Bell had never seen such a polite doorman, so he quickly returned the salute and went straight to the point, "Ah, it's okay, you're too polite! The three of us passed by here, and there were indeed some places that needed help, and I don't know who can call the shots here." β
"This ...... Mr. Sendroko is the owner of the farm, but he is not on the farm, and we have not seen him for many days. The only person in charge of the farm is Mrs. Sendroco, and if you have any needs, you can tell me and I can convey them to you. The doorman Cyros saluted the three again, which seemed to be his habit.
