Section 12 Aristocrats
When the guards heard this, they were a little stunned. But he quickly reacted: "The person in front of me should be a magician." All of them are superhuman in the wisdom of the mage, and they can't hide it if they want to. It's better to tell the truth, and with the wealth of the magician, maybe the matter of Erin's family will be solved. ”
"My lord, I can't go into detail now, but you can see it when you go to Erin's house. I can't get out of my body now, Ada~ You compensate the adults first. After that, tell me where you are staying, and I'll visit it myself. Faced with Bai Fan's question, the guards returned like this.
"No need big brother, none of us know about Erin's family. A leather-armored man arrived, walked to the side, and bowed down, "My lord, there is indeed a reason for this incident." Please leave Erin alone. Everyone behind him bowed together.
Bai Fan looked at it, "Okay." I'm not going to pursue it for now, but it's not clear yet. Let's go to Erin's house first. He pointed to the man named Ada and asked him to lead the way.
The three of them went all the way to the east, and Bai Fan found that the style of the house was gradually changing, and the more they walked forward, the stronger and shorter the house became. From a multi-layer gypsum wall more than ten meters high, it gradually became a bluestone wall three or four meters high. After walking for about an hour, Ada led them out of the eastern wall. "Do you all live outside the city?" Bai Fan wondered. Ada replied: "That's not it, this is the second east wall. Your Excellency, you see, this is 50 feet high. The real east wall is still ahead, and that road is only about 20 zhang. ”
Seeing that Erin was a little tired, Ada lifted her directly to her shoulder. "Thank you, Uncle Ada. Ada then said, "Those who live on the other side of the East City are all us civilians. The nobles and lords all lived within the second east wall. Moreover, these stone-walled houses are also stones bought from the stone quarry. Several households helped each other to build it. ”
"Listen to your tone, these stone houses are often broken?" Bai Fan took a closer look and found that although these houses were not in good shape. However, it stands to reason that there will be no problems living in the population for a few hundred years.
"It's not because of the Warcraft Riot, outside Dongcheng is the Warcraft Mountain Range, and the Warcraft will come out of the mountain every one or two hundred years. I've only encountered that big piece once. The last time the monster came out of the mountain, it was called a scary. Large swaths of earth pigs can't be killed, as well as demon wolves, demon tigers, and demon rhinos and the like. As long as the first line of defense is broken, there is not a single house in this area that can stand. At that time, everyone could only shrink behind the second east wall, and life was difficult. Ada sighed, "And the most hateful thing is that the fat baron in the stone field actually took the opportunity to raise the price! Fortunately, the duke allowed everyone to live in the wooden house for ten years." ”
"What's so bad about using a wooden house, it's about the same in one or two hundred years anyway. Bai Fan said strangely.
"How's that going to happen? How could there be a war at that time? Don't look at the second east wall so high, if you really want to say it, you can't hold it. It all depends on the cooperation of the Holy Spirit Mage and the Knights, the warriors and the mages, to stop those magical beasts. If I guess, these stone walls will still be used as cover!" said Ada.
"Then why don't you move outside the West City? I see that there is a lot of open space over there, and when I came, the hills must be easier to live than here. Bai Fan said.
Ada was a little strange, "It's the fief of Marquis Willy, and the empire doesn't forbid you to go anywhere though." However, if you settle down, you can't do it casually, and if the lord doesn't make a notice, you will be beheaded if you settle. "Could it be that this adult settled down casually, or is it so capricious to be rich?!
Bai Fan understood in his heart, feeling that these nobles were using civilians as shields. You are not allowed to go to the west city, so you can only build a stone house in the east city. And it was the commoners who built the house, and the nobles who made the money. It was the houses of the commoners that were lost, and the property of the nobles was protected. Bai Fan, who originally thought that this world was not bad, suddenly felt that this world was such a * egg in his heart.
After about twenty minutes of walking, they finally arrived at Erin's house. Bai Fan looked up and saw that the east wall that Ada said was only a few kilometers away from Erin's house. (I'll just write it, I don't have this experience to guess.) Don't be too serious) The blue-black city walls are faintly visible. Suddenly, a man in chain mail turned into a side alley.
When he entered the house, Bai Fan felt very dim. The stone walls made of bluestone are very strong, but the light problem is difficult to take into account. Even though it was daytime, it was still dark inside. Erin skillfully ran to light the candle, and then ran to the back room, "Daddy, I'm back." ”
Ada asked Bai Fan to sit down first. I looked for it and poured a glass of water for Bai Fan. and explained a few words: "Please forgive me, my lord, this ~ is the only one in the family." Thank you for your understanding."
"Ahem, cough~~" As if coughing from his lungs, a middle-aged man's voice came from the room, "Is Ada here, who else?" Bai Fan got up and walked in, and Ada followed.
The humidity in the house was heavier, and it was darker than the outhouse. If it weren't for that candle, it wouldn't be much better than reaching out and not seeing your fingers. Bai Fan, who basically understood the reason, felt very uncomfortable in his heart, even if he occasionally couldn't eat enough in the wild, at least it was an adventure of his own choice.
"Hello uncle, I am Bai Fan, a friend of your daughter Erin. I'm here to visit you. Bai Fan opened his mouth and said. Ada, who was following him, was directly stunned, and the boss with his mouth open didn't take it after a few clicks. After a few more words, he pulled Ah Da to the outhouse.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on. How could Erin's father be in bed and her mother? Bai Fan's face was very ugly. "There's nothing to say now. ”
Ada sneered, "My lord, don't blame Brother Lei, of course he has to be cautious as a soldier, there are many people at the city gate, and now there is nothing." In fact, this is the case, Erin's mother has passed away a long time ago, and Uncle Dong and Erin have always been two people. Uncle Dong is also a tour guide, and two months ago he picked up a businessman to buy goods. As a result, the businessman said that he had suffered a loss when he bought something, and the next day he found Uncle Dong and insisted that Uncle Dong had partnered to defraud him. In fact, no one can blame Uncle Dong for this unsubstantiated evidence, but who would have thought that behind this businessman was Soko's guy. Soko has long had bad intentions!" said this, Ada was very excited.
"Who is Soko?" asked Bai Fan.
"Soko is a thing that can't be put on the stage, but his dad is the inspector of the riverside wharf! Soko has been beating Erin's idea, but his dad can't control us tour guides. And in Linjiang City, he didn't dare to rob people. Unexpectedly, this time his father colluded with the merchant and the Qiqi trading house in the city to frame Uncle Dong! I had to pay him back five gold coins! In the end, the verdict came out, and it was limited to two months to raise enough, otherwise Erin would have to become a servant! This is a conspiracy!" Ada said angrily: "This is not over yet! We tour guides have no ability, but we still have righteousness." Uncle Dong raised enough money, and when he went to Nangang to give money, he was injured by masked gangsters and robbed of the money! My lord, that's the way it is, this money is nothing to you, but it's a lifetime for Erin, please help!"
Bai Fan's heart moved, and he asked, "You lent the money to Uncle Dong, what should you do?"
Ada replied: "You can make money if you don't have money, but you can't make money when you don't have people." When the monster came out of the mountain, it was Uncle Dong who organized everyone to the inner city in the middle of the night. After that, he organized us to go to the banks of the Ricky River to make a living, and everyone remembers it!"
"It seems that Erin and them are all affectionate and righteous people, and five gold coins are also a small matter. If you can help if you can reach out your hand, you can help! As for Na Soko, it's good to admit it yourself, if you don't recognize it, hum!" After hearing so much, Bai Fan was also angry, and shouted into the house, "Uncle, don't worry! I'll go with Erin to pay back tomorrow! I'll leave today!" After speaking, let Ada lead the way back, no matter what, I have to find a hotel to spend the night today.
What he encountered and saw during the day made Bai Fan's heart frightened. There is so much power in this society, but there is such a lack of institutions, what happened to Erin may happen everywhere. The stone houses outside the second east wall may also be everywhere. I came into this world by myself, maybe I can do something. At this moment, Bai Fan's heart throbbed, and pure white light emanated from him.
