Otherworld Management Manual

"Otherworld Management Manual (

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

As for the research on steam engines, Zhang Feng can't say that he is very proficient, but he can barely be regarded as an expert.

Another five steam engines have been built, two are placed in Blackrock Forest for mining, and two are placed outside Hongye City, where new city walls are being built.

As for the remaining one, it was requisitioned by Zhang Feng to make his exclusive car.

Although he already has Pang Da and Xiao Bai, they all have their own limitations, at least in terms of comfort, they are still comfortable in the car.

In particular, the interior space of this car designed by Zhang Feng is very large, which is very convenient for various activities in it.

In a four-story factory, two steam cars are parked together.

It was so huge that it almost reached the ceiling.

This is the steam car named "Hongye Steam No. 1" by Zhang Feng a week ago, but now it has changed a lot compared with a week ago. The most intuitive change is big!

Exaggerated front, front shovel, huge chimney, exposed rivets, gears, amazing capacity of the carriage... A kind of violent aesthetics belonging to steampunk blows.

In contrast, it is a small car next to it.

Of course, the "car" is relatively speaking, but it is actually not too small. According to Zhang Feng's body shape, this is completely a small RV.

Its appearance is the same as "Hongye Steam No. 1", it is a strong steampunk style, but it is more delicate, and the whole car is shiny golden yellow!

This car was strengthened by Zhang Feng from the inside to the outside. Although it cost a lot of gold coins, the quality is absolutely nothing to say!

It's just a little too flashy, and Zhang Feng's eyes hurt a little.

As for the interior of the car, which is as luxurious as its exterior, it adopts the cab separation mode. The cab is large, more than enough for four people, and can put a lot of things, such as weapons and equipment.

The rear seating area is covered with various precious furs, luxurious and soft seats, soft and foldable dining tables, and even electric lights and small refrigerators.

The electric energy in the car comes from a small generator, which Zhang Feng brought from Hyundai.

And there is a lot of bulletproof glass installed on these cars, which is also not a product of this world.

Even from a modern point of view, this car is absolutely luxurious regardless of its appearance or interior. If it is said that its only disadvantage is that the driving time is a little long, it is still a steam car after all. , to be able to make it like this is already very good.

Looking at the two big toys in front of him, Zhang Feng was eager to try.

For the training of drivers, Zhang Feng had already started when the steam engine was built. After so many days of study, these people have learned almost the same.

Zhang Feng found a temporary driver and let him drive the golden car to the gate of the castle.

I have to say that Zhang Feng has made great efforts in the design here. For the slightly noisy steam engine, Zhang Feng used a lot of sound insulation materials, and he can still accept it when sitting in it.

As soon as this golden car came out, it caused a sensation no less than the previous "Hongye Steam No. 1".

"Wow! This car is made of gold!"

Some people can't believe it when they see this golden car on the road.

"This... it should be?"

Everyone is not sure, this shiny really looks like gold, but who can build a car with gold in such luxury? How much gold will this cost!

"And there are so many crystals on this car! How luxurious!"

Soon there was news that this was the special car of the Lord of the City!

After hearing the news, everyone suddenly realized.

"It turned out to be the special car of the city owner, so it's fine!"

"Only the Lord of the City can have this strength!"

"I really want to see what's inside..."

"..."

All the way to the castle gate unimpeded, just in time to see Erica coming out of the castle.

As soon as Erica went out, she heard a clanging sound, she turned her head in doubt, and saw an extremely dazzling steam car slowly parked in front of her.

"Owner?"

Seeing this car, Erica's first thought was Zhang Feng.

Because this car was too similar to the one she had seen before, but it was not a golden car. Although she did not know how Zhang Feng did it, she was sure that it was Zhang Feng.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng rolled down the window.

He said to Erica:

"Are they all in the castle?"

Erica knew who this "they" was referring to, and she quickly replied:

"Mrs. Caroline and Mrs. Zhang Xiaotang were in Blackrock Forest, instructing them to use the steam engine. Mrs. Amy rode Xiaobai and practiced with the wolf cavalry in the wild. I don't know Mrs. Tina, it seems that it was with Mrs. Caroline and the others. together."

"That means there's no one in the castle."

Zhang Feng didn't bother to correct Erica's mistake of calling these people madams, so he spoke directly.

"Then come and feel it with me, get in the car."

Got something good, how can it be done without anyone sharing.

"Yes, Master!"

Erica would naturally not refuse Zhang Feng's order, Zhang Feng opened the door, and Erica stepped on the pedal.

Erica was involved in making the car, but it was the first time she had seen the final product.

"So hot!"

As soon as she came in, Erica felt very warm, even warmer than in the castle. She just put on a thick dress and suddenly felt a little hot.

Especially after seeing Zhang Feng wearing thin, she subconsciously wanted to take off her coat.

Before Zhang Feng could speak, he saw Erica saying she was hot as soon as she got in the car, and even had to take off her clothes?

He always wondered if this was Erica's suggestion.

"Lord, master? What's wrong?"

Erica stared at Zhang Feng strangely, and Erica was a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay, come here."

Zhang Feng beckoned, Erica quickly put her coat on, took off her shoes, and sat down obediently beside Zhang Feng's legs.

"Master~"

"Be sensible, come and give me a massage."

Zhang Feng liked Erica's sensibleness, and she knew what to do with a glance.

Opening the mechanism, Zhang Feng let his seat half lie down.

"Yes, Master!"

Erica came to Zhang Feng and sat down on her knees, then held Zhang Feng's forehead and made him lean against her chest, moving very gently.

"Master, is this strength enough?"

"Very well, but you'll get a little closer."

"how about this."

Erica bit her lip and stuck her whole body against Zhang Feng.

"Well, not bad, comfortable!"

Zhang Feng picked up a phone-like thing and instructed the driver to go outside the city. He wanted to have a good feeling to see if there was anything wrong with the car.

Although it snowed again a few days ago, it did not affect the driving of the car.

Dududu, the golden car left Hongye City in the envious eyes of all the people.

...

The caravan led by Marlow finally came to a big city.

This is the terminal for some merchants.

The group of them went very smoothly. There has been no snow since they came out of Hongye City. They passed through two cities in total, which is the third city.

From the map, they were already halfway there.

But today, their luck seems to have run out, and the sky is snowing again.

The snow in the other world, or it will not fall, if it is, it is a goose feather snow, and it is also accompanied by a biting cold wind. People who have no experience and good physique, it is estimated that they will not be able to come back.

But after all, they came to a large city, and they could take a break for a while.

"Is this the largest Silver Pine City in the north of Buck Kingdom?"

Mouse Daqiang looked at the city not far away and asked curiously.

"It should be this."

Marlowe nodded.

They had traveled so long before and passed two small cities.

It is also a little stronger than the previous Red Leaf City.

As for Marlowe's statement that they were from Hongye City, the city owner of the other party didn't believe it at all, so Marlowe was turned away. After all, the people like Marlow are fully armed, and now is the time when life is more difficult, and the city lord is afraid that the other party is coming to rob.

In the end, it was the merchants in this small town who came forward to prove it. The city owner was shocked when he heard that there was such a city. He hurriedly invited Marlow and the others to go in to rest, but Marlow ignored him and set up camp outside. .

Although Marlowe had no intention of doing business in the city, it was one thing whether he went or not, and another to be turned away.

After all, he has followed Zhang Feng for so long, and his knowledge and spirit have grown a lot. Although he doesn't care about these people, he is still a little unhappy.

I hope the lord of this city will not be so rude.

But fortunately, as soon as they arrived at the gate of Silver Needle City, someone saw it and reported it. When Marlowe and the others walked to the gate of the city, someone asked, and Marlo naturally reported himself. door.

Hearing that these people came from Hongye City, many people on the city wall looked at each other in dismay. They had never heard of this city.

Fortunately, some of the merchants in the caravan ended up here. They knew the soldiers who guarded the city. After communicating and identifying their identities, they opened the city gate.

After all, this is a big city, and it has the background of its own big city. There are not many soldiers like Marlow for them, and they don't have to worry about the other side's plots.

Mouse Daqiang was looking forward to this city. After walking for so long, he finally saw a decent city. From the outside, the Silver Pine City looked bigger than the Red Leaf City.

Of course, its city wall is not as high as that of Hongye City, and it is estimated that it is at most half of the city wall of Hongye City, but compared with the previous two small towns like villages, it is already very good.

Rat Daqiang has very important trade tasks. This city should be similar to Hongye City, maybe a little better than Hongye City, after all, their city is so big.

It's just that when Daqiang Rat said his thoughts, everyone, including Marlowe, looked at him inexplicably.

"What happened to you?"

Mu Daqiang is a little unclear.

"You'll find out when you go in."

Marlowe shook his head.

Among these people, it is estimated that the orcs, Daqiang, do not know much about human cities. The others are businessmen, and they have seen many trips. All of them like Hongye City so much that they are even willing to settle in Hongye City permanently. Because they know how big the gap is between ordinary cities and Hongye City!

They may not have been to Silver Pine City, but they know that Red Leaf City is definitely not comparable to Silver Pine City. In their hearts, Red Leaf City is comparable to the capital of Buck!

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Rat Daqiang was a little stunned, but the city gate in front of him had already begun to open, and he didn't think about it any more, he went ahead and talked.

"Finally home!"

Someone in the caravan sighed in relief.

After walking for so long along the way, they were completely relieved only when they really got to the door.

"Hey, I bought so many things in Hongye City this time, I guess I can make a fortune!"

"Let's agree first, don't raise the price maliciously!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't."

"..."

After the gate was fully opened, Marlow led the team into Silverpine City.

"Uh...this?"

However, as soon as he entered the door, Rat Daqiang was stumped by the situation in front of him.

Right in front of him, there is no road.

In other words, in front of them is a half-person-high snow field.

"If I remember correctly, it hasn't snowed before. Isn't this snow just falling?"

Rat Daqiang is very strange, so much fell in a while?

"Everyone, please."

The soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to the snow in front of him.

"Isn't the snow here left from half a month ago?"

Rat Daqiang looked at the thick snow in front of him and said:

"Yes what's the matter?"

The soldier was puzzled, he felt that this person was so strange!

Rat Daqiang said to the soldier:

"Then why don't you shovel the snow away?"

The soldier looked at the thin man in front of him, his tone was a little speechless.

"Why do you need to shovel it away? It will fall after shoveling. Look, it's snowing again today. We'll clean it up after winter."

Rat Daqiang: "..."

Seems to make sense?

There's a bullshit! With so much snow blocking the road, what's the difference between inside and outside the city?

Rat Daqiang was speechless, he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Marlowe.

"Let's go."

Although the snow was half a person deep, it was nothing to them.

"baffling!"

The soldier shook his head.

After walking in the snow for a while, all the people in the caravan came in. Marlow seemed to see the question of Daqiang, and explained:

"Most of the lords will not shovel the snow in their cities in winter, because the snow can't be shoveled out, they will only shovel part of it, and the other less important places will wait until the snow melts by itself."

"what?"

Mouse Daqiang was a little stunned, this was different from what he saw in Hongye City.

In Hongye City, he basically did not see snow on the road. No matter how big the first day was, when he woke up the next morning, the road was clean.

Although it was said that the snow didn't cause him any difficulty, but the experience in the city made him uncomfortable.

"But our Hongye City is not like this?"

"That's because this is not Hongye City."

Hearing the words of Knight Marlowe, Daqiang Mouse seemed to understand something.

In this case, except for the surprise of Daqiang, the others did not show any special expressions. After all, they have seen this kind of thing a lot.

But everything is afraid of comparison, and when compared with Hongye City, the gap comes out.

Although this is only a small detail, the real chapter can be seen in the details.

Only when you really leave Hongye City can you know the goodness of Hongye City.

The group walked in the snow for a while. There were no buildings near the city gate, and there was no road sign. In addition, the wind and snow were heavy. If the merchants from Silver Pine City hadn't led the way, they might have lost their way.

"Whoo~"

Finally got out!

Rat Daqiang was panting. He had seen the house in front of him, and the road had finally been cleared. Although it was only a small road, it was much stronger than before.

The soldier in front spoke:

"Everyone, are you looking for a place to live first, or..."

"With such a heavy snow, of course I'm looking for a place to live. Do you have any recommendations?"

The soldier pointed to the front.

"You can see the hotel when you walk forward. It's all over there. The most luxurious hotel in our Silver Pine City is also here. You can go there directly. I'll report to the Lord of the City."

"Thank you!"

The soldiers were handed some silver coins, and they did not refuse.

After the soldiers left, Marlowe said:

"Everyone, let's go ahead and take a look."

"good."

Soon, everyone saw a dilapidated hotel.

This tattered is literally, the rat can see the snow inside through the hole in the roof.

"Knight Marlowe, thank you for taking care of you along the way! Please accept it as a thank you."

A businessman handed out a money bag and said goodbye to Marlowe.

He is a member of the Hongye Business Alliance. Although the protection along the way is free, as a businessman, he cannot always take advantage of it. When it is time to pay, he must also spend money.

Marlowe did not refuse.

After accepting the benefits given by some people, Marlow led the crowd to move on.

Because it snowed heavily today, there were not many people on the road. The few people were surprised when they saw Marlow. They didn't understand, how could a caravan come to their Silver Pine City in this heavy snow day? This is so rare!

"Is this their most luxurious hotel?"

Looking at the sign marked "Luxury Hotel" on it, Marlowe was a little unsure. He didn't know if the most luxurious hotel mentioned by the soldier just now said the hotel was luxurious or had a luxurious name.

As soon as we entered, we could smell a strong musty odor.

For so many people to come to the door, the owner of the hotel quickly found out. He trotted over and said with a smile on his face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay in a hotel? We have the best room in Silver Pine City!"

Listening to the boss's words, Marlowe felt that this should be the right place.

"Yes, we want to live in the hotel, so many people, do you have enough rooms?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine!"

The boss's eyes were shining, and he respectfully invited everyone in.

In the crowd, Annie covered her nose and complained to Abe:

"Abe, I don't want to live here..."

Abe is helpless.

"This is not Hongye City, there will be no next Hongye Hotel."

"But it smells so bad in here!"

Annie's eyebrows were twisted into a twist.

After waiting for the boss to bring them to this so-called most luxurious room, Daqiang was speechless.

This environment is not even good for ordinary civilians' rooms in Hongye City! Not to mention compared to the Momiji Hotel.

Fortunately, the cost here is much lower than that of the Hongye Hotel. If you stay at the Hongye Hotel for one day, you can stay here for three months.

Marlow counted the number of people, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he directly paid everyone a week's fee, which made the boss very excited. This is a big customer!

I don't know when this snow will stop. If it gets bigger and bigger, they can only stay in Silver Pine City for a while.

Although the environment here is not very good, but it's okay to make do with it.

While Marlow and others were resting in the hotel, the news about the Red Leaf City caravan had been slowly fermenting in Silver Pine City.

Those merchants in Silver Pine City didn't want to stop for a moment after returning home, and left to go to the tavern, where there are many such people.

Although the tavern in Silver Pine City has no heating, it is still warm with a lot of people.

Eugene is a businessman in Silver Pine City. Because of the heavy snow, he had no choice but to go to Hongye City for a while, but he did not expect that Hongye City would be such a magical city.

He didn't even want to come back.

But Hongye City is not a place for him to stay for a long time, after all, his wallet does not support it.

Although he was not very lucky and did not become a member of the Hongye Business Alliance, he has gained a lot this time, and almost all the gold coins on his body have been spent, in exchange for many things that Silver Pine City does not have.

Eugene came to the tavern. Although he was already well-dressed, it was still a little cold in the tavern.

He wanted to squeeze in, but because there are no divisions here, the price of drinking is the same everywhere, so everyone is squeezed inside.

No way, Eugene had to ask for a glass of dark beer a little depressed.

He was thinking, how could he quietly publicize some of his good things?

"Hey Eugene, where have you been all this time?"

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Eugene came back to his senses and turned around.

"Benson, long time no see!"

Benson is Eugene's business partner, and his strength is similar to Eugene's.

The two touched a glass and drank the unbearable dark beer, and Eugene's face wrinkled.

"what happened to you?"

Benson thought he was sick and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, I just think this wine is too bad to drink!"

In the end, he still felt sorry for his copper coins, and Eugene closed his eyes and swallowed the big mug of dark beer in one gulp.

"It sucks? Hey, tell me honestly, where have you made your fortune? You have not seen you for so long, and you think dark beer is unpleasant? Could it be that you have been drinking spiced red wine all the time!"

Benson was still curious about Eugene's disappearance for such a long time. Although it was dark in the tavern after all, Benson could still clearly see that Eugene was wearing a completely different outfit from him.

That dress looks so much prettier than my own!

"Spice wine? Oh, I don't drink that stuff, it's expensive and unpleasant to drink!"

Hearing Eugene's words, Benson became more and more curious.

What's the matter with this Eugene, talking in such a big tone? It's really hard to make a fortune!

"As for where I went? Hey, you may not believe it, I went to the most prosperous city in the north of our Buck Kingdom!"

Eugene looked mysterious.

"Uh, are you kidding me, isn't the most prosperous city in the north our Silver Pine City?"

Benson was speechless.

"No, no, no, it's Hongye City!"

Looking at the excited Eugene, Benson scoured all the memories in his mind, but he had never heard of the name Red Leaf City!

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, what Hongye City, I have never heard of it!"

Seeing that Benson was a little angry, Eugene quickly explained.

"We are partners, how could I lie to you, really, I really went to Hongye City, you don't know how prosperous Hongye City is!"

Eugene's face was a little exaggerated, so Benson couldn't understand whether what he said was true or not.

Eugene also knew that the other party would definitely not believe it if he just said it with his own mouth. After all, he himself had an unreal feeling.

In order for Benson to believe what he said and spread the news, he had to start giving examples.

"Let's not talk about Hongyecheng, do you think my clothes look good?"

"nice."

Benson spoke honestly.

"These clothes were bought in Hongye City!"

Benson touched the fabric of the clothes, the soft and smooth feel made him a little fond of it.

"Really? This dress is not cheap. I have never seen this kind of fabric. This style must be cut by a master tailor..."

"No, who's the cheapest clothes I am, just one silver coin."

Eugene is a little embarrassed. It's not that he doesn't want to buy those more expensive clothes, but he has no money. Before the opening of the clothing store, he spent seventy-eighty-eighty gold coins.

"What, a silver coin!"

Benson's exclamation was a bit loud. Seeing that everyone around him turned his attention, Benson hurriedly said in a low voice:

"Impossible. From the perspective of my business for so many years, this set of clothes must not be a silver coin, and at least a gold coin!"

A silver coin and a gold coin, this is a hundred times the difference!

"Nothing is impossible, and I won't explain so much to you. When you see it, you will know."

Regarding the clothes of Hongyecheng, he could not finish giving Eugene a day. Now is obviously not the time for a long talk.

"I do not believe!"

Benson still doesn't believe that the prices of clothes like these are generally formed by the laws of the market. Even if they are businessmen, they can't be said to be arbitrarily priced, otherwise they will easily collapse.

No matter the quality or style of this piece of clothing, it is not an ordinary product, it is impossible for such a low price, and it is impossible for someone to violate the laws of the market!

"Then if you and I sell it to you, how much are you willing to pay for it?"

Eugene's eyes suddenly turned, and he was about to change his way.

"Sell it to me, I am willing to give out a gold coin!"

Benson spoke without thinking.

He even thinks that two gold coins are not a loss, but he is a businessman after all, and it is impossible to say the psychological price all at once, let's talk about it later!

And he thought that this was just a casual remark by Eugene. If he had such a beautiful dress, he would definitely not sell it. After all, these two gold coins were nothing to him.

But what Benson didn't expect was that Eugene immediately took off his coat as soon as he finished speaking.

"Here, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other!"

Looking at the clothes Eugene handed over, Benson was a little confused.

really sold?

"Come on, take your clothes off, I'm freezing!"

At Eugene's urging, Benson changed into new clothes in a confused way.

Touching the very smooth fabric on his body and looking at Eugene with a happy face, Benson said in disbelief:

"Could it be... what you said is true? You really bought it with a silver coin?"

"That can be fake!"

Eugene whispered in Benson's ear:

"Do you still want it? One gold coin and one, no counter-offer!"

"You still have? How many?"

"Not much, just a hundred or so. If you want all of it, I'll give you a 10% discount!"

"More than 100 pieces! Don't, don't, don't!"

Benson thought he only had one piece of this dress, although he felt that even if he bought more than 100 pieces, it didn't seem like a loss, but looking at Eugene with a happy face, Benson really didn't want to spend the money.

"Forget it if you want it. I'll sell it to someone else. By the way, I remember that you like to drink? I still have the wine from Hongye City. Do you want it?"

"Wine?"

Hearing what this Hongyecheng thing was, Benson was looking forward to it. He licked his lips and said:

"Bring it to me to see, if I'm good, I will!"

"Of course, the wine there is much better than our Silver Pine City!"

Eugene took a small iron jug from his arms and poured a little bit into Benson's glass.

"Hey, Eugene, why are you so stingy!"

Seeing that there was only so much wine in his huge glass, Benson was a little unhappy.

How can people be so stingy when they buy wine, at least let you taste a glass.

"Stingy? Do you know how scarce this wine is. Wine is limited in Hongye City. This is my last pot of wine, and it's gone after drinking it!"

Hearing that this was Eugene's last drink, Benson's face softened a lot, and he still didn't believe it:

"I haven't drunk any wine, I haven't even drunk the three great wines of the Royal Capital, you wine, huh!"

Saying that, Benson raised his head and drank.

"Well--"

Suddenly, Benson's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

"How is it? This wine is delicious. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheaply!"

Eugene gave a profiteer smile.

The clothes just now can earn a hundred times the price. He doesn't believe it, these wines can't be earned!

"Uh... I just drank it too fast and didn't taste it, why don't you pour some more and let me taste it?"

Benson looked a little embarrassed.

"Ok?"

Eugene originally thought that Benson really didn't taste it, but seeing that his eyes were looking at his jug from time to time, Eugene instantly understood that he was lying!

"If you haven't tasted it, forget it. I won't sell you. I believe that there are so many people in the tavern that some people will like it!"

Seeing that Eugene was about to leave, Benson couldn't hold it any longer, so he quickly grabbed Eugene.

"No, let's talk! I'm willing to pay a high price!"

The corner of Eugene's mouth twitched, and he took Benson to the corner to discuss buying and selling wine.

...

There are many examples of Eugene. Those merchants from Silver Pine City who came back from Hongye City can't wait to show their gains. They risked their lives to return to Silver Pine City from Hongye City for what, not for this. Moment! In order to earn ten times or even a hundred times the benefits!

Today's Silver Pine City is destined to be restless.

...

Early the next morning, Marlowe received an unexpected invitation.

"Silver Pine City mainly entertains us?"

After sending the messengers away, Marlow didn't understand why the lord of Silverpine City wanted to entertain them.

With the exception of Marlowe, here's one count as one, and all received invitations.

"Could there be some conspiracy?"

As a Rat Orc, Rat Daqiang's vigilance is still very strong, and he subconsciously thinks about the worst.

"probably not."

Marlow frowned and rejected the idea of ​​the Rat Orcs, because these soldiers seemed to be only responsible for protection and did not bring anything valuable. The other party should not know that they had valuable goods in their hands.

The chief of the city really had some bad ideas. He would just entertain the merchants in the hotel directly. There was no need to invite himself.

After all, the destructive power of a knight cannot really be measured by common sense, and the strength of knights is also very different. Marlow belongs to the more powerful knights, and this is not counting the weapons and equipment that Zhang Feng gave him.

No one should take such a risk before determining their own strength.

"It's okay, maybe it's just an ordinary banquet. He should have heard about Hongye City and wanted to inquire about it."

After asking the opinions of other businessmen, everyone felt that it would be better to go. After all, this is on someone else's land. Facing the invitation of the city's owner, it would not be good if they didn't go.

Moreover, they also have the knight Abe, which is another layer of insurance.

At noon, everyone packed up and ordered their servants. A group of more than a dozen people, led by a soldier, braved the wind and snow to come to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Silver Pine City is very large, its City Lord's Mansion is similar to that of Hongye City, or the buildings in this world are similar.

After being notified at the door, everyone followed the soldiers and walked in.

As soon as they entered the castle, many people shivered.

Compared with the outside, although there is no wind and snow inside the castle, it is colder and more humid, and there is a smell of decay and stench.

Cold and dampness is a common problem of castles, and the castle in Hongye City was like this before.

The castle is not only dark and cold, but also very dark. In order to make the defense strong, the windows of the castle are built high and small, and there is almost no lighting, only ventilation.

But when I got to the second floor, it was much better.

The first floor is for servants and livestock, and the second floor and above is the residence of the city lord.

Although the second floor and the first floor are the same structure, but because there are many torches, it is brightly lit here.

The hall on the second floor has now been transformed into a banquet hall—in fact, nothing has changed, except that a large round table has been added.

On the table, the oil lamps exuded a faint fragrance, diluting the strange smell of the castle a lot.

Directly in front of him is a slightly fat man. He is wearing a brightly colored robe and a colorful hat on his head. There is no doubt that the city owner can wear clothes of this color.

There are still some people sitting beside him, they should be the vassals of the city lord, and they are whispering something to the city lord.

"Lord City Lord, people have already brought it."

The soldiers who led the way trotted over and reported to the lord of Silver Pine City.

Hearing the soldier's report, the city lord raised his head and looked at Marlow and his group. He got up with a smile on his face:

"Welcome to Silver Pine City. I am Earl Langman, the city owner of Silver Pine City. In order to express my welcome, I have prepared some food, and I hope you don't dislike it."

"I have seen the Lord of the City!"

"I have seen the Count!"

The crowd also hurried to salute.

Mouse Daqiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the city owner to be an earl. He remembered that Zhang Feng was also a baron.

Although he felt that the title did not mean anything, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

This earl's territory is so spicy!

"Everyone, please!"

Earl Longman made a gesture of invitation, and everyone took their seats.

Because Marlowe is a knight, he can wear a knight's armor at any time, but the knight's sword must not be brought in.

Because of his helmet, the city lord and the others did not see Ma Lu's face. When Marlowe took his seat and took off his helmet, an exclamation sounded.

"Marlowe? It's you!"

Following the voice, Marlowe saw a familiar face.

"Marcy?"

This freckled woman~www.wuxiahere.com~ is not Marcy, the former mayor of Hongye City!

"It's really you Marlowe!"

Someone spoke again, and Marlow turned his head to see that there were several people here who were his acquaintances.

"I heard that a caravan came from Hongye City. I wondered who would travel such a long distance in such severe weather. It turns out that you, Marlow, led the team! That's not surprising!"

Someone said, he was a knight of Red Leaf City, a former colleague of Marlowe.

As for Marlow's strength, it is very clear. It can be said that the few knights they left may not necessarily be Marlow's opponents!

In this regard, he also regretted that the Red Leaf City was no longer saved. Marlowe could only waste time and life there. When the heavy snow came, he even guessed that Marlowe might have been defeated by nature.

But I didn't expect to encounter it here again!

After all, he used to be a colleague, and he was a little embarrassed.

Just facing the words of this former colleague, you can even brag, but Marlowe did not answer.

At the most difficult time in Hongye City, these people chose to leave. Although Marlow could not judge anything, from the moment they left, these people were no longer his friends.

Before, Marlowe regarded them both as friends.

Not getting Marlowe's reply, the knight was a little embarrassed.

The city lord, who has not spoken all the time, smiled and smoothed the game.

"Hehe, it turns out that they are all acquaintances, that's just right, chatting while eating!"

The mayor clapped his hands.

"Serve!"

"Heh! Who are you showing this stinky face to! Is Hongye City gone? You are fleeing! I said it long ago, Hongye City can't stay!"

Marcy's sarcastic voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet castle.

Marlowe and the others looked strange.
