Chapter 508: Dwarves, Orcs
The next day, Gervais was woken up early in the morning by the sound of a commotion not far away.
"Gollum!"
And the next moment after waking up, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach.
I was busy until midnight last night, but I didn't eat a mouthful of tea and rice, and there was not even a bit of dregs left in his stomach at this time.
Gervais dug into his pocket, which contained two silver coins and a few copper plates.
When he came here, he was completely naked, and even his underwear was shattered in the turbulence of time and space, so naturally there was nothing.
The two silver coins were scraped from the guard last night.
Since he has money, Gervais is not too little, and is ready to go out and buy something to fill his stomach.
Lisso came to the tree, and Gervais stood still, then his face changed again, and he became a young and handsome young man.
The servant dressed up in disguise last night naturally couldn't see people, and his original appearance Gervais didn't dare to walk out so swaggeringly, who knows if he would be remembered by that beauty.
After making sure that there was no problem with his face, Gervais looked at the clothes on his body again, which were the clothes of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't wear them out at will like this.
So Gervais simply took off the outer one, and then wore only the normal undershirt inside, so that no one could notice anything unusual from the dress.
After making sure that nothing had been missed, Gervais walked straight in the direction where the noise had come from, which was the avenue leading to the holy city of Heka.
Gervais walked slowly, and in a minute he came to the edge of the woods.
Pushing aside the branches of the trees that stood in front of me, the road had become bustling with people coming and going.
At this moment, Gervais suddenly saw something, his face changed, and he subconsciously touched his waist, but he touched it empty.
I saw an orc appear on the road ahead, a green-skinned half-orc to be precise.
At this time, the orc was pulling a truck forward, and behind him was a very short, muscular, bearded middle-aged man.
"Dwarves? Orcs? ”
After a few moments, Gervais also reflected that the orc was clearly a coolie, and the pedestrians on the road also ignored the orc, and it was clear that this orc was different from the orcs he had encountered in Eurasia.
"It's weird!"
This scene felt quite strange to Gervais, when he was in Eurasia, orcs and humans were enemies of life and death, and they never died when they met, but here they saw orcs and humans swaggering side by side.
Although he didn't know what the reason was, Gervais felt that it was most important to fill his stomach first, so he took advantage of the gap and walked out of the woods to the avenue.
At this time, most of the people on the avenue were heading towards the holy city of Heka, and Gervais also slowly followed the flow of people towards the holy city of Heka.
Last night, he couldn't see the whole picture of Heka Holy City because it was dark, and today he saw Heka Holy City again, and Gervais was deeply shocked.
In the distance, the giant city is like a dragon rising from the ground, entrenched in this vast land.
Gervais initially estimated that the walls of this Heka Holy City were at least more than fifty meters high, which was a very astonishing height, and with the endless length, it was difficult for Gervais to imagine what kind of price it would take to build such a city.
Along the way, Gervais followed the crowd and soon arrived at the gate of the holy city of Heka, which was already full of people waiting to enter the city.
Although the gates of Heka Holy City have been opened, it is early in the morning, and the number of people entering and leaving the city is the most concentrated, so congestion is inevitable.
In the crowd, Gervais saw more orcs, as well as the muscular, bearded dwarf just now.
The orcs were all dressed in tatters, just like the one they had just seen, and many could tell that they were human or dwarven coolies.
The free minority is alone, carrying some fur beasts on their backs, as if they are going to be sold in the city.
Although the surrounding crowd obviously distanced themselves from the orcs, they did not have a look of fear, and some only disliked and disdainful.
As for the dwarves, most of them sat in carriages, and from time to time they raised their flasks and poured wine into their mouths, as if they would never get drunk.
Most of the orcs were their coolies.
While Gervais was looking around curiously, the line finally slowly approached the city gate.
"A copper plate!"
When Gervais reached the gates, a guard came up to him with a jar and said impatiently.
"Damn, you still have to collect money when you go into the city?"
"I'm afraid I can collect thousands of copper plates this morning! It's really faster than Ming to grab it."
It was the first time that Gervais had to charge for entering the city, and after looking at the people in front and behind, he took out a copper plate in his hand and threw it in, Gervais complained slightly, but after all, he still took out a copper plate and threw it into the money jar.
Now that there were at least a thousand people gathered at the gates of the city, Gervais felt that the business of collecting money was more lucrative than his own wine.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Magician-sama! ”
Just as Gervais handed over the copper plate and was about to walk forward, suddenly the shouts of the guards came from behind him.
When Gervais looked behind, he saw a luxurious carriage slowly coming from behind, while the guards in charge of guarding the gate quickly dispersed the crowd behind him and made way for him.
The carriage did not stop when it passed through the city gates, and entered the city unimpeded.
"The magician is really imposing! I don't have to pay money to enter the city, if only I could go to the city without paying money, and I'll go around the entire alliance in the future! ”
"You don't look at your own appearance, which of the certified magicians is not a big shot! Let's go, sell the fur of this gray wolf early today, and we can get away with it for a few more days. ”
The two people in front of Gervais saw this scene, and their eyes were full of envy.
Gervais heard their conversation, and couldn't help but look at the two of them, both of them were bronze low-rank knights, but now they were envious of the magician's free entry into the city, which really made Gervais not know what to say.
After the magician had gone away, the gates of the city were once again calm, and Gervais entered the city directly.
At this time, the city was crowded, and it was even more lively than the city gate.
Gervais first found a random stall on the side of the road and ate two flatbreads to fill his stomach, and then walked around the city.
If he wanted to go back, he needed to find out where he was, and to find out his situation, Gervais felt that there were two options, either buy a map or go to the tavern to inquire.
In addition, he also needs to find a way to make some money, otherwise he will probably go hungry in a few days.
Prices here are much higher than in Eurasia, where a piece of black bread can fill people up to three meals.
Here, two copper plates can only buy a small cake, and Gervais can only fill his stomach after eating two.
However, because the taste was really bad, Gervais did not continue to eat after temporarily filling his stomach.
As he walked along, Gervais looked at the shops lining both sides to see if there were any stores selling things like maps, but when he turned two streets and found nothing.
"Tavern?"
Just as Gervais was about to continue wandering aimlessly, he suddenly saw a tavern appear in front of him.
When he saw the tavern, Gervais's eyes lit up.
If you want to know about this place, apart from things like maps, I guess the tavern is the best place.
So Gervais stopped directly, turned around and walked into the tavern on the side.
