The western part of the city, with religious districts, administrative districts, and commercial districts as the core, is one of the few prosperous areas in the city, but there are still only 20,000 or 30,000 people living in it.

The so-called "city-state" of this era is actually very different from the city in the consciousness of ordinary people.

In a feudal, agrarian society, where most of the people were trapped in their own fields, small towns or even small villages were the main form of society that gathered 90% of the population.

Polis? In fact, the small town of the ordinary lord is just a slightly larger "rural bazaar".

Villagers, farmers, and townspeople will only go to the city to sell vegetables or buy some daily necessities when necessary, and most of the rates of replacement of daily necessities are calculated in years.

The core area of Schleiling is probably a little more crowded than the "town" in the common sense of visitors.

Prosperity? Shopping? How is it possible, except for the noble lord, who is not working hard to survive, how can there be spare money to go shopping and buy those who don't.

Only the great aristocratic territories and royal capitals have extravagant things such as commercial streets, shopping malls, and theaters, and the commercial areas here can only be regarded as slightly larger agricultural markets and daily necessities markets at most.

The productive forces limit social relations and also limit people, and what can be accessed in this rural territory is too limited only to stay in the "town".

"Free grouping, take Schleiling as the boundary, explore freely, gather locally within a month, if you need any reinforcements, you can come back in advance to find my help"

On the third day after returning, Lu Ping'an sent most of the team members out.

If you are full, you can only stay here for two or three months, and instead of staying with everyone, it is better to cast a wide net and always encounter some unexpected gains.

But at this time, something went wrong

"By the way, no one really wants to be on a team with Sheen, to be honest, he's quite useful, especially when you're looking for a needle in a haystack, there's no problem at all with being an event trigger."

What he expects the most is actually Sheen, under the premise of the current limited time, he should be able to encounter something, whether good or bad, it is better than nothing happening.

But what I got was a uniform shaking of the head.

No one is stupid, in this kind of world that has come to an end and the end is everywhere, what will be the result of bringing a doom generator.

No matter how good the opportunity is, no matter how many resources you have, you must be blessed to enjoy it.

"Forget it, Senior Brother Xue En, let's join a group with me, no problem, right?"

"Nope." Even if he was disliked by everyone, he still had a calm face, and his round face was still a little silly.

He is in a good state, inexplicably stronger, and the whole person has become extremely Buddhist. For some reason, there have been female compatriots hanging around recently, trying to feed them with various snacks.

Well, actually, there are quite a few male compatriots who have secretly seen it. Black and white bears, regardless of the intensity, but the popularity is really high.

It's just that Lu Ping'an sometimes wants to get on two. At this time, he will try to recall the scary dark circles and dead fish eyes, and then stroke his hands to relieve his hunger.

"What are you doing, meow!" Then, I was bitten by a cat.

As the only "European Emperor" in the team, the reason for his success has been speculated a lot.

Could it be that there are too many dark circles under the eyes, so the phase is triggered?" Someone, made a guess.

Not to mention, someone really tried the result, and it was still the four major legions.

In these days, metaphysics is unreliable, and strong krypton is the only way out. Of course, due to limited funds, no one can afford to gamble at the moment, but there are really a lot of people who hang around the door every day and learn the path of the beast warrior.

Cough, back to business, according to the phase, Lu Ping'an grouped the team. Priority is given to volunteering, taking into account strength.

The individual combat power is quite unbalanced, for example, the mercenary group continues to hold together, and they have no intention of bringing new recruits.

This is actually nothing, each has its own way of playing, and if you really take recruits to high-risk areas, you will probably kill them.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an communicated privately with the Knights. Then the line of recruits, the weaker combination, there were a few more guard knights.

Some went out with them, and some were ordered to come and help.

By the way, Lu Ping'an has done quite obviously, but the lord is still smiling, without a trace of anger at all, he has already learned of the destruction of the Red Sand Thieves and the Evil Bone Regiment, and has determined the strength of Lu Ping'an and his party, and has become more friendly.

Lu Ping'an didn't take the initiative to see him, he took the initiative to drag his old body over the next day, and he went along the way, and there was a concubine and an illegitimate son Lu Ping'an knew that this was probably the most priority to get on the boat.

By the way, after this battle, there was actually an unexpected gain.

"Can you tell me why you betrayed me?"

The old lord Kui Te smiled and asked the trembling shepherd.

He is Lu Ping'an's trophy, to be precise, Zhixi and Maomao's trophy.

During that battle, as a "living compass", he was left in the storage room, guarded by several bandits from the Bone Gang.

The duo who were in charge of stealing the house naturally had no reason to let them go, and in the end he was taken to the ground by the cat, which can be regarded as amazing luck, and it may be that God favored the last shepherd.

Now, the old lord, with a kind face, smiled and asked the Outlander why he had betrayed, even though he didn't really care.

Intelligent beings have the right to know the truth, which is their natural human right."

"Even if it only brings panic? Mutual cannibalism that only brings despair? It will only bring about the early collapse of the whole society? It may even lead to the loss of the chance of being rescued by the original rescuers?"

The old man who was evaluated by the outside world as mediocre, at this time, was not stupid at all.

He just asked calmly, stating that he didn't care about the other party's answer, nor did he care about the other party's betrayal.

So, is he asking this outsider? No, it's just Lu Ping'an, who is happily watching the play on the side, can also see that he is asking himself.

Perhaps, in the shadows, he was also hesitant, hesitant, and even annoyed.

"That's right! Everyone has the right to make a choice! ”

"Fear, that will only bring useless fear and destruction?"

"Of course! This is a right that every intelligent creature has! Even if they are destined to die, know when they will die! ”

The shepherd who repeatedly shouted "rights" made the old man shake his head at first, and then smiled.

This is the talk of the chicken and the duck, from the very beginning, it is not the same people, when the three views that constitute the ideological, moral, and legal basis are different, naturally they can't go together at all, not to mention that there is no answer to the question itself.

"Your Highness Lu, let you laugh, I'm still a little naïve personally." The old man was still calm.

Lu Ping'an smiled and didn't say anything.

Perhaps, in Lu Ping'an's malicious speculation, this person just used this way to explain his "inaction" and slightly increase the goodwill of outsiders.

But in a sense, he did. At least Miss Xia Qin, who was behind Lu Ping'an, looked a little better.

Bringing such an easy-to-get companion is a bad thing in a sense, and it is easy to leak your own style and attitude, but from another point of view, a team that is biased towards "good order" is also more likely to gain the trust of the locals.

At least, judging from the style of conduct along the way, the lord was satisfied with Lu Ping'an and his party, and tried to make additional investments.
