"Yeah!" Orson nodded. "I will take good care of Leeteuk,"
"You too, Lite. Don't rely too much on your brother Orson for everything. You are not young anymore. You must learn to be independent." Mary also warned Lite.
Of course, only Orson could hear the hypocrisy contained in Mary's words.
"Yeah!" Lit nodded.
Orson silently watched the interaction between Li Te and Mary, sighing silently in his heart.
I just hope that Mary really changes her mind and starts to reconcile with Leeteuk.
After nearly a month of education, Lite is now much more confident, at least he is no longer as submissive as he was in front of his family and servants.
"It's almost time, we should set off." Orson glanced at the sun, and then said to Lucius. "Father, it's time for us to set off."
After saying that, he summoned the magic flying carpet and sat on it.
"Well, take care along the way." Lucius said, waving towards Orson.
Then Orson glanced at Leeteuk.
"Well, Li Te, where is your flying carpet?"
"Um... Orson, can I sit on a blanket with you?"
"It's okay..." Orson nodded, "Then sit down."
"Okay." Li Te said, sitting on Orson's blanket, and then unconsciously wrapped his hands around Orson's waist.
His face rested on Orson's back.
"Eh..." Orson was stunned. Lite's action reminded him of when he was riding a bicycle in his previous life, the back seat would hold the front seat's waist to prevent him from becoming unstable.
"Orson... I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still, no... can't I?" Leete asked timidly when he saw Orson turning back to look at him.
"It's okay, that's fine. Lite, you didn't act like this when you were sitting before..."
"Before... I was attracted to other places because of my curiosity... I, I'm a little afraid of heights..."
"Okay." Orson nodded. In that case, just hold him.
Then, he looked in the direction of Lucius and Mary and waved to them.
"Father, mother, Li Teuk and I are leaving first!"
"Well, take care along the way." Lucius waved to the two of them.
beckoned.
Mary on the side also waved slightly to the two of them.
Afterwards, the two of them took to the sky on a flying carpet.
Behind the Duke and Duchess, in the queue of domestic servants, Vivian looked at the two young masters taking off, her heart filled with reluctance.
I don’t know when I will see them next time.
The maid lady thought so in her heart.
…
On the flying carpet, Orson sat with his legs crossed, while Lite had his legs folded on one side, leaning against Orson.
Liteuk's hands hugged Orson tightly, as if he was really afraid of falling.
"Li Te, you can't be afraid of heights." Orson said after flying a certain distance. "In the future, you must ensure your concentration when traveling on your own flying carpet. If your fear of heights causes you to relax and cannot maintain the magic flying carpet, it will be very dangerous."
"Yeah, I know." Lite leaned against Orson and nodded. "Then just let Orson take me."
"You guy..." Orson didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I can't take you with me forever, can I? Why do I feel like you are becoming more and more pampered as you become stronger?"
"Isn't this all because of Orson?" Leeteuk said half-jokingly.
After leaving the family, there were no longer so many rules, and Li Teuk felt a lot more relaxed.
At least when I face people's greetings at home, I always have to return the greetings. When I meet my parents, I am always nervous and speechless.
Only when facing Orson, I can almost talk about everything.
Of course, except for the fact that I am a girl.
"Seeing that you are so happy, I will give you a vaccination first. You must follow rules when you arrive in the imperial city. Even after entering the academy, the academy also has rules." Orson said.
"Eh?" Li Te suddenly lost interest in the journey to the imperial city.
"Hey, forget it, let me introduce the rules of the academy to you first, lest you don't understand anything after arriving at the academy, and you will be easily laughed at..."
With that said, Orson started to tell Little about the various rules of the academy on the flying carpet, as well as his experience of studying for a year as an academy student, and shared them all with Little.
When the time came in the evening, Orson and Li Te found a hotel in the transit city to rest for a while, and set off again early the next morning.
As the time came to noon, Li Te saw the magnificent city wall in the distance. It was a city many times larger than Antica. It was a city that only existed in the books and legends Li Te had seen.
The imperial city - the city of Saint Laurent.
As the two of them got closer and closer to the city of Saint Laurent, the city in miniature became bigger and bigger in Lite's eyes, until it could no longer fit in his field of vision.
At this time, the flying carpet the two were riding on slowly lowered its height.
"In the Imperial City, flying is prohibited without permission." Orson explained to Li Te.
Afterwards, the two stopped at the city gate.
After seeing the coat of arms on their chests, the guard at the door respectfully made way for them.
"Orson, why don't they check our identities?" Lite asked doubtfully as he followed Orson into the imperial city.
"Only nobles can wear family crests. They are the guards of the imperial city, and they naturally have good eyesight. After seeing the family crests on our chests, they realized our identities and took the initiative to let us in."
"That's right..." Lite nodded with understanding, and then asked: "Ossen, there are so many nobles in the empire, can they possibly recognize the coat of arms of the entire family?"
"Of course I can't recognize it completely."
"Then do you think it's possible that someone could make a fake coat of arms and pretend to be a noble?"
"I haven't thought about this yet, but no one should have the courage, right?" Orson said. "You know, in the empire, pretending to be a noble is a capital crime."
"And the blacksmith who helped create the fake noble coat of arms would also be sentenced to a felony if caught. So on the one hand, no one dares, and even if someone dared, there would be no blacksmith to make it for them."
"Oh~" Li Teuk suddenly realized.
Later, she saw that after entering the city, there were many carriages parked on the roadside, and many coachmen were providing services to people who had just entered the city.
"Orson, why are there so many coachmen here?"
"Didn't I say before that flying into the city without permission is prohibited, so many people want to go to certain places in a hurry and don't have a carriage themselves, so this demand was born."
"With this demand, there will be supply, so there are many coachmen here." After Orson answered so many questions for Li Te, a horseman
The driver also walked towards the two of them.
Chapter 32: There is only one double room left
"You two, are you in a hurry?" the coachman said, looking at the two of them flatteringly. "You two must be brother and sister, right? At first glance, you are the son of a wealthy family. My carriage is not only fast, but also stable. I guarantee that you will not feel any bumps while sitting on it."
"The Imperial City Road is so nice, but if your carriage bumps, I'd still have to worry about my own safety." Orson didn't take this trick, and instead sneered and choked the carriage driver. "Besides, we are brothers, and your eyesight seems to be not very good."
"I'm sorry, I'm just blind." Seeing Orson's behavior, the coachman quickly nodded and apologized.
Seeing that the carriage driver had a good attitude, Orson nodded.
"Okay, take us to the Star Hotel. Can you deliver it to us?"
"Uh... Passenger carriages are not allowed in the wealthy area over there, so I can only send you to the intersection..." The coachman had a dilemma on his face when he heard the name of Star Hotel.
"Okay, just send it to the intersection." Orson said and paid.
"Master, this price..." The coachman hesitated when he saw the money in his hand.
"Don't do this with me. I've walked this road many times. The price I gave you is already reasonable. If you want to rip off customers, you can't rip off me." Orson said so, flashing his chest. The former family crest.
"How about it, do you want to run away? If you don't run, I will find someone else."
"Hey, don't, don't, don't, let's get in the car..." The carriage driver saw a difficult situation and had no other choice but to take the two of them into his carriage.
…
After getting off the carriage, Lite looked at Orson with some confusion.
"Oson, just now, is it necessary to bargain with this kind of coachman? I see that he is wearing rags. I guess the family must be short of money so he wants a higher price."
"Li Te, you don't understand this." Orson pointed to the carriage that had gone away.
"Don't look at the coachman who is dressed in rags, but look at him. He is so strong in body, so full of energy, and so confident in his carriage."
"Does he look like a man who is short of money?!"
"He dressed like this on purpose to gain money from an inexperienced young man like you."
"Ah!? Really?" Lite suddenly became angry when he heard this.
"Of course it's true." Orson nodded. "This kind of person relies on ripping off customers every day. He may have hundreds of gold coins in his home. If you sympathize with him, he will take you as his scapegoat!"
"Ugh! This kind of person is so disgusting!"
"Right, so Leeteuk, you have to recognize this kind of people in the future." Orson said, touched Leeteuk's head, and then led Leeteuk towards the rich area.
The Star Hotel where the two stayed was the hotel where Orson stayed temporarily when he came to take the entrance test a year ago.
You can tell from the name that it also provides accommodation and catering services. Other shops are called hotels, but this one is called a hotel, which is enough to reflect its high-end.
Xingchen Hotel is located in a wealthy area and is surrounded by complete commercial facilities. If you are not used to the meals provided in the hotel, you can also go to the surrounding restaurants to eat.
In addition, because it specializes in serving nobles who come to the imperial city temporarily, in order to allow the nobles to experience the feeling of home while away, all the furniture and facilities of the Star Hotel can be said to be the most luxurious furniture available on the market.
Under such circumstances, the price of the Star Hotel is naturally not low. The cost of staying there for just one day is enough to cover the food and clothing expenses of an ordinary family for several years.
"Hello." After entering the hotel, what came into view was a beautiful elf receptionist.
In Saint Laurent City, it is not surprising to see various races, because this is the largest city in the mainland.
As a symbol of wisdom, agility and beauty, the elves are very popular in the service industry, such as the elf lady at the front desk.
As soon as Leeteuk entered the hotel, he stared at the elf lady.
It's not that I'm surprised by Miss Elf's beauty, but I've never seen her sharp pointed ears before, so I'm very curious.
"Please help me book two single rooms and stay there until the day after tomorrow." Orson said and took out a paper ticket.
This paper ticket is a consumption certificate circulating in the upper class society.
The monetary system of this world is still an extremely abnormal gold, silver and copper coin system. As the currency with the highest unit price, gold coins are basically not involved in the general consumption of ordinary people, but the nobles can spend dozens or hundreds of gold coins.
But in fact, nobles rarely bring so many gold coins with them when they go out, so a person who only pays tribute to rich people
Paper tickets circulated among people came into being.
The way paper tickets are used is that the nobles first deposit a sum of money into a treasury protected by the state, and then the treasury issues paper notes equal to the deposited funds to the nobles, with 10 gold coins as the minimum unit, and 50 and 100 gold coins on top. denomination.
Because paper tickets are easy to carry, it won’t feel heavy if you carry a hundred of them.
As for anti-counterfeiting, the paper tickets are made by the hands of the palace magician, who injects magic power into each paper ticket, and you can feel the same rhythm. If the rhythm is different, it proves that the paper ticket is a forgery.
In the empire, if someone is found to be forging paper notes, the price is the death penalty, or even serious consequences.
Miss Elf glanced at the table in the room, and then showed a troubled expression.
"Sorry, two guests." Miss Elf said, bowing to the two of them. "These days, due to the Imperial College entrance examination, many of our rooms have been booked a month in advance, and now there is only one double room left."
"I don't know if you two can accept it..."
"Um, how many beds does this double room have?" Orson asked.
"Uh, a big bed..."
"Hmm..." Orson touched his chin, then looked at Liteuk. "Li Teuk, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Lite was still staring at Miss Elf's ears in a daze. When he saw Orson asking him something, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uh, I can do anything..."
"Okay then." Orson nodded. "Then let's stay in a double room for three days. Oh, I should book it in advance next time. Your business here is really good."
"Ahaha, we will actively improve based on your feedback..." Miss Elf said, taking out the room chart. "Please register your information."
