Chapter 178: Shanggu Town (I)
It was difficult for a team of more than 200 people to enter the town without causing an idea, and from the moment they entered the settlement, their team had been under the watchful eye of the surrounding people......
Prompts of being watched kept appearing in the field of vision, but fortunately, there was no threat, but a state of [happy!].
"Does Mr. Ross know this place?" asked Sean, looking at the surrounding towns.
"It should be a small town in the Oro region......"
I want to complain...... The other party continued.
"Let me think about it, we came all the way down the road from the direction of Koga City, and I remember there were a few small towns...... I guess it's called Kamitani Town. I remember seeing it on the map. Rose thought about it for a moment.
Even a scholar of the empire can't go through all the parts of the country, and it's nice to be able to memorize a map!
"Oh, so are there any rumors in this area?" Sean continued.
"Rumors. I haven't heard any rumors or big events happening in this area, on the contrary, the people here have been very happy for more than ten years, you can see their smiles. I have rarely seen so many smiling residents in the imperial capital. Rose looked around.
Truly.
Sean has never seen a place that feels so good at first place.
Everyone has a satisfied smile on their faces when they see them, and they are always in a state of "anticipation!] and "excitement!" above their heads.
That's a little weird.
Can people in a region really be so happy?
Sean has seen a lot of people, whether it is a small town or a big city like Rietis, no matter how much people will have a temper, but the people in this town are very happy, which is a bit incredible.
"Aslant, have you heard of this place before?" asked the commander of the troops on the other side.
"I've never been there, but the town feels pretty good. Everybody's smiling!" As she looked around, there was a girl holding a vegetable basket on the side of the road, smiling at her.
Sean noticed that the wild vegetables in the other party's basket were all dying.
That is, the one that has been placed for a long time and completely lost its moisture, looking at the layout of the town, it is much richer than its own Telemian town, not only does it occupy a large area, but it also feels that the architectural decoration is also very stylish.
Passing by a butcher's shop......
A conversation between two buyers and sellers.
"Old man, do you still have cured meat today?"
"Oops, you should have come earlier, it's all bought...... I would have liked to go to the cellar to have a look, but who knows that it will be moldy after not going for too long, and I may have to deal with it. ”
"Hahaha, it's fine. Then I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Watching the male guests leave with a smile.
If you hadn't seen Sean with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that you could still have a smile of [Excitement!] and [Expectation!] if you couldn't buy something.
"Do you have any ideas, sir?" At this time, Rose also noticed the change in Sean's expression.
"It's nothing, it's just that I envy the people here. ”
"The people are very good, I have never seen such a place full of kindness...... Need to write it down. Ross thought about recording it.
This is not only the simple folk customs, it feels like a paradise......
But Sean still thinks it's a little weird, it's not too late now, in other towns or cities, it should be the most active time in the afternoon, cooking and then walking after dinner, etc., but none of this.
In addition to this, Sean also noticed that the people in the town felt sleepy all the time despite being during the day, and there was another thing that seemed to be in every house......
Just outside their store hangs a pendant in the shape of a circle with a coiled branch. What is displayed in his field of vision is [ornaments], and there is no magic or anything else, but each one has it, which makes Sean very puzzled.
........................
Originally, the team wanted to find a few hotels in the town to arrange accommodation separately, and if one was not enough, they would get a few more, so that they would have a day off and then leave tomorrow......
However, after Sean arrived, the ruler of Upper Valley seemed to have received the news, and sent people to all the inns in the town to arrange accommodation, and also invited Sean and Rose to their home for dinner.
It can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord, and he will be the big nobles of the Oro region in the future, and of course the following small nobles will have to make a stutter, so Sean still went, and in addition to Rose, he also brought Aslan with him.
The manager of Upper Valley Town is Baron Melander, a middle-aged uncle who looks about forty years old, slightly fat, but his conversation is very elegant, and there is even an illusion in Sean's eyes, the other party does not seem to regard his title as a thing at all, or that in front of him, whether it is his own or his own title, it is also Erle.
Very Buddha-nature person...... But when you look closely, you seem to be able to hear some truth.
For example, at the dinner table, the other party often talked about the policies of various countries, and was also able to say some benefits of the Basharan Empire, of course, mainly because when I heard Rus's introduction as a historical historian of the empire, he was very cautious when it came to national policies!......
Neither Rose nor Aslant saw this, but it was easy for Sean.
"In fact, I have always felt that the geographical location of our country restricts many things, otherwise with the rich financial resources and large population of the Basharan Empire, there should be more to do, so I ......ordered it at the time."
As he said this, Baron Melander suddenly stopped.
There was a state of [nervous!] above his head.
Order?
That's right, a little baron actually spoke like a king.
"It's not easy to keep the country running, the most important thing for us is to manage our local people and lives, and leave the rest to the upper echelons of the empire. ”
"Yes, yes. Count Vigel is right!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Sean casually found a step for the other party to go down.
Since then, he has not encountered any topics during the meal, but what makes Sean still strange is that the baron in his forties did not invite his family when he entertained him?
It is even more unusual for a nobleman to be in his forties and not married.
Maybe even Rose and Aslant found out how strange it was, but they couldn't tell how strange it was in the excitement and smiles of all the servants~
In the end, Ross concluded that it was probably because the folk customs here were more offbeat.
After eating.
Baron Melander didn't communicate much with Sean, which was very much like himself, and he was not used to talking to the nobles in the upper echelons.
Just said, I wish you a good dream and left.
It's night, it should be said that it's not quite night.
In Sean's field of vision, when there were more than forty minutes left in the daytime, the whole town was already quiet, so quiet that he couldn't hear the sound of the night market at all.
The sky was gray and gloomy, and not a single light was lit in the whole town......
There was no light even in the baron's house, and when he walked out of the room, he realized that the servants had gone to sleep!
"My lord, do you want me to wake them up?" said Aslant from the side.
"No, let them sleep, and you...... Go to bed early, too, you're tired from a long day's journey. ”
Because Sean didn't find any threat in the favorability and hints, it's just that the way of life of these people is a little weird, so Sean didn't let Aslat do anything else, go to bed early and hurry tomorrow morning.
Just like that, Sean also went back to his room to rest......
......
Not knowing whether he was awake or asleep, Sean suddenly felt that he seemed to be much better.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn!
