Chapter 8 The Rich Zone
According to the Governor's words, it was more difficult to find the demon hunter, that is, the master of Captain Liszt, Viscount Wallace, because this viscount usually ran around, occasionally receiving commissions from demon hunting, and had no permanent place to live.
However, Xavier seems to have caught a good time, because according to the Governor's intelligence, the demon hunter has only recently appeared in the wealthy area of Crete City, and seeing that the swordsman has been chatting with him for so long, the Governor has decided to help him find it and give him an answer tomorrow.
Faced with this answer, although Xavier was not very satisfied, he could only accept it, in his opinion, it should not be very difficult to use the power of the governor to find a viscount, right?
Should?
He could only trust the Governor's abilities.
In the midst of all his thoughts, Xavier walked out of the governor's room and saw the governor's daughter, Leana Deyilu, and she chatted casually with Xavier, and even asked if her father was particularly annoying.
At that moment, Xavier really wanted to reply, yes, annoying! But his desire to survive made him pretend to be sincere in response
"Of course not, it is my honor to hear the teachings of the Marquis of Yilu. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Liana suddenly showed a suspicious look.
"Really, I swear by the mountains of my hometown of Reston Village. Xavier swore that he would not fear being punished for this, for the village of Reston had no mountains at all
"Well, I believe it. Leana let out a 'huh', and then ordered the slaves belonging to the native nation to deliver Xavier to the guest rooms of the Doge's Palace.
"Yes, miss. The brown-skinned man nodded.
Seeing this scene, Xavier inexplicably thought of some things in his previous life, but he didn't say much, followed their footsteps, came to his own guest room, and settled dinner, washed up, lay down on the completely unfamiliar sheets, and fell asleep.
This is the end of the first day of coming to the kingdom of Vasiliki.
~~~~~~
The next day.
Xavier calmed the lamp god who had told him to hurry up and make a third wish, straightened his clothes a little, and then went outside the governor's chamber and knocked lightly on the door.
Subsequently, he received a bunch of intelligence indoctrination from the Governor that Viscount Wallace was in such and such an area of the rich district, and Xavier remembered it, and quickly said goodbye and walked out of that terrible room.
He didn't want to talk to the Governor all afternoon, so he quickly escaped the Governor's Mansion with the speed at which he escaped the vampires.
However, when he walked out of the governor's palace, he discovered a problem.
He doesn't know the way at all, and he doesn't have a map here, so how can he walk there!
If he was in the capital, he could still find his destination by asking for directions, just like he had done when he went to the Swordsman Guild, but this is Vasiliki, and the language is not clear!
It seems that it is still necessary to ask for help from others
Thinking about this, Xavier had no choice but to return to the Doge's Palace, knocking on his head, trying to find a friendly girl and let her lead the way.
She was Liana, the Doge's daughter.
As for whether she will agree to her request, Xavier thinks about it, and he probably won't refuse
As he expected, when Liana heard Xavier's question, she decisively agreed.
"I've been to that area a lot, and I can take you there. ”
Xavier was so grateful that he almost said, "You're a good man," and led by Liana, walked out of the door of the Doge's Mansion once again.
It's just that this time I went out, it seemed that something was wrong.
Because outside the door of the Governor's Palace, there are more uninvited guests.
There were about a hundred people in all, all of them locals, led by a man who looked like a leader, who waved his flag and shouted slogans to those behind him.
Xavier was worried about whether they would attack passers-by, but they seemed to be sitting there shouting slogans, and they didn't commit any violent acts, and Xavier couldn't understand their language, so he asked the girl next to him, and he got such a response.
"They are some indigenous groups who want to fight for greater autonomy for the native people of Vasiliki. Liana replied in a flat tone, and it was hard to tell whether she was supporting or not supporting
"As you know, the military and political power of the entire kingdom is actually in the hands of the Minoans, uh, us. ”
"I understand. Xavier nodded, in essence, the Empire's rule over this place is no different from the colonization in the previous life, so it is natural to get the corresponding resistance, but these rebels seem to be quite civilized, with Gandhi's style, so Xavier doesn't know how to react.
As the soul of his previous life, the education engraved by the state made him want to support this kind of behavior and overthrow the 'evil' imperialism, but after all, he has already crossed over, and now he is a part of imperialism, maybe he can 'I oppose myself', but as a person with a lower level of thought, he still chooses the method of a normal person like Liana.
Acquiescence.
If the peaceful revolt succeeded, he would be encouraged by the natives, but he would not oppose it in any way if the empire continued to rule in that way.
Just like everything he did with the East End before.
Amidst orderly and ceremonial shouts, Xavier and Liana left the struggling people and got into the private carriage of the Doge's Palace.
On the way, Liana seemed to think of something, looked back, but did not say anything.
~~~~~
Dozens of minutes later.
Transported by carriage, Xavier arrived in the wealthy district of Crete.
It was then that he realized why Vasilyki was called the 'Land of Pleasures'.
Here, there are clean streets, well-established and orderly trenches, and small garbage cans everywhere, which are cleaned up by cleaners from time to time.
If you look up, you will see a seven- to eight-storey building with signs such as 'casino', 'nightclub', 'sauna', etc., in bilingual, both Vasiliki and Minoan, which Xavier can understand even a foreigner.
In addition, passers-by wandering back and forth, all dressed in colorful and luxurious costumes, seem to be competing for luxury.
Or it can be described as such, this area is even better than the inner city of the empire!
It also made Xavier, who had seen a lot of scenes, unable to help but be stunned for a moment.
