Otherworld Management Manual

"Other World Management Manual ()"

Time flies.

Another week passed in a blink of an eye.

For the study of steam engines, Zhang Feng can't be said to be proficient, but he can barely be regarded as an expert.

The other five steam engines have been built, two are placed in Blackstone Forest for mining, and two are placed outside Hongye City, where a new city wall is 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.

One is so huge that its height almost reaches 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 to a week ago, the most intuitive change is big!

The exaggerated front, front shovel, huge chimney, exposed rivets, gears, and amazingly large carriages...a kind of violent aesthetics belonging to steampunk hits the face.

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

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

Its appearance is the same as "Hongye Steam No. 1", which is full of steampunk style, but it is more refined, and the whole car is shiny golden yellow!

This car was strengthened by Zhang Feng with "Tianshichengjin" from the inside to the outside. Although a lot of gold coins were spent, the quality is definitely not worth mentioning!

It's just a little too flashy, making Zhang Feng's eyes ache.

As for the luxury of the interior of the car, which is as luxurious as its appearance, it adopts the cab separation mode. The cab is large enough to accommodate four people, and it can also store a lot of things, such as weapons and equipment.

In the rear seating area, there are all kinds of precious fur coverings, luxurious and soft seats, a soft and foldable dining table, and even electric lights and a small refrigerator inside.

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

Moreover, a lot of bulletproof glass is installed on these cars, and these glasses are also not a product of this world.

Even if you look at it from a modern point of view, both the exterior and the interior of this car can be regarded as absolutely luxurious. If you want to say its only shortcoming, it is that it takes a little long to drive, after all, it is still a steam car , It is already very good to be able to make it like this.

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

As for the training of the driver, Zhang Feng had already started when the steam engine was manufactured. After so many days of study, these people have almost learned it.

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

It has to be said that Zhang Feng has worked hard on the design here. For the slightly noisy steam engine, Zhang Feng used a lot of sound insulation materials, but he can still accept it when he sits in it.

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

"Wow! This car is made of gold!"

Some people couldn't believe it when they saw this golden car on the road.

"This... should be it?"

Everyone is not sure, this shiny thing really looks like gold, but who can make a car with gold so extravagantly? How many gold coins does this cost!

"And there are so many crystals on this car! What a luxury!"

Soon news came that this was the special car of the city lord!

After hearing these news, everyone suddenly realized.

"It turned out to be the special car of the city lord, so it's all right!"

"Only the city lord can have this strength!"

"I really want to see what it looks like inside..."

"..."

All the way to the gate of the castle unimpeded,

Just in time to see Erica coming out of the castle.

As soon as Erica went out, she heard a bang bang bang bang bang. She turned her head in some doubts, 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 so similar to the one she saw before, but that car was not a golden car. Although she didn't know how Zhang Feng did it, she was sure that it was Zhang Feng.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng rolled down the window.

He spoke to Erica:

"Are they all in the castle?"

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

"Mrs. Caroline and Mrs. Zhang Xiaotang are in the Black Stone Forest, instructing them to use the steam engine. Mrs. Amy is riding Xiaobai and practicing with wolf cavalry in the wild. I don't know Mrs. Tina, it seems to be with Mrs. Caroline and the others. Together."

"That means there is no one in the castle."

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

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

Got something good, how can it work without anyone to share it with.

"Yes, master!"

Erica would naturally not refuse Zhang Feng's order. Zhang Feng opened the car door, and Erica came up stepping on the pedal.

Erica also participated in the manufacture of this car, but this is the first time she has seen the final product.

"So hot!"

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

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

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

He always felt that this was Erica's hint.

"Master, master? What's wrong?"

Erica looked at Zhang Feng staring at herself with strange eyes, and Erica was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, come here."

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

"Master~"

"Sensible, come and give me a massage."

Zhang Feng likes Erica's sensibility, and she knows what to do with just one look.

Turning on the mechanism, Zhang Feng let his seat lie down halfway.

"Yes, master!"

Erica came to sit behind Zhang Feng and knelt down, then supported Zhang Feng's forehead and let him lean on her chest, her movements were very gentle.

"Master, is this strength enough?"

"Very well, but you need to get closer."

"how about this."

Erica bit her lip, and her whole body stuck to Zhang Feng's body.

"Well, not bad, not bad, comfortable!"

Zhang Feng picked up something that looked like a phone, and told the driver to go around outside the city. He wanted to have a good feel for the car and see if there was anything wrong with it.

Although it has snowed heavily since the past few days, it does not affect the driving of this car.

Toot toot, the golden car left Hongye City under the envious eyes of passers-by.

...

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

This is the terminal for some merchants.

The group of them went very smoothly. It hasn't snowed since they came out of Red Leaf City. They have passed through two cities in total, and this is the third city.

Judging from the map, they have already gone half way.

But looking at it today, it seems that their luck has run out, and the sky is snowing again.

The snow in the other world will either not fall, or it will snow like goose feathers, and it will be accompanied by a biting cold wind. People with no experience and good physique may not be able to come back after going out.

But at any rate, they came to a city with a large scale, so they could take a break for a while.

"Is this the Silverpine City, which claims to be the largest in the north of Buck Kingdom?"

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

"It should be this."

Marlowe nodded.

They walked for such a long time before, and they passed through two small cities.

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

Marlowe said that they were from Hongye City, but the city lord of the other party didn't believe it at all, and turned Marlowe away. After all, people like Marlowe are fully armed, and life is more difficult now, and the city owner is afraid that the other party is coming to rob.

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

Although Marlowe didn't intend to do business in this city, it was one thing whether he went or not, and another thing to be turned away.

In any case, he has been with Zhang Feng for such a long time, whether it is knowledge or spirit, he has improved a lot. Although he doesn't care about these people, he is still a little unhappy after all.

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

But fortunately, as soon as a large group of them arrived at the gate of Silver Needle City, someone saw it and reported it. When Marlowe and the others reached the gate of the city, someone asked questions, and Marlowe naturally reported it himself. house door.

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

But fortunately, some of the merchants in the caravan had their terminals here, and they knew the soldiers who defended the city. After communicating and confirming their identities, they opened the city gate.

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

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

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

Shu 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.

But when Shu Daqiang expressed his thoughts, everyone including Marlowe looked at him inexplicably.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Shu Daqiang was a little confused.

"You'll know when you go in later."

Marlowe shook his head.

Among them, Shu Daqiang, an orc, probably doesn't know much about human cities. The others are businessmen, and they have seen a lot from traveling around. The reason why they like Hongye City so much, and are even willing to settle in Hongye City permanently, is that 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 a city comparable to King Barker's capital!

Shu Daqiang saw that everyone didn't speak, he was a little dazed, but the city gate in front of him had already started to open, so he didn't think about it anymore, let's go in first and then talk.

"Finally home!"

Someone in the caravan heaved a sigh of relief.

After walking for so long, they were completely relieved only when they reached the door.

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

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

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

"..."

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

"Uh... this?"

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

In front of him, there is no road.

In other words, in front of them was a field of snow half as high as a person.

"If I remember correctly, it didn't snow before, didn't this snow just fall?"

Shu Daqiang is very strange, so many bets in a while?

"Everyone, please."

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

"The snow here is not from half a month ago, is it?"

Shu 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!

Shu Daqiang said to the soldiers:

"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 have to shovel it away? It will still fall after you shovel it away. Look, it's snowing again today. We will clean it up after the winter."

Shu Daqiang: "..."

Seems to make sense?

There is a fart reason! With so much snow blocking the road, what is the difference between inside and outside the city?

Shu Daqiang was speechless. He was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Marlowe.

"Let's go."

Although the snow was as deep as half a person, 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. Marlowe seemed to have seen the question raised by Shu Daqiang, and explained:

"Most of the lords will not shovel the snow in their cities in winter, because the snow can't be shoveled. They will only shovel part of it. Other less important places will wait until the snow melts."

"what?"

Shu Daqiang was a little confused, it was different from what he saw in Hongye City.

In Hongye City, he basically didn't see snow on the road. No matter how heavy it was on the first day, when he woke up the next morning, the road was clean.

Although the snow accumulation did not cause him any difficulties, it made him very uncomfortable to experience such an experience in the city.

"But our Red Leaf City is not like this?"

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

Hearing what Knight Marlowe said, Shu Daqiang seemed to understand something.

Regarding this situation, except for Shu Daqiang who was surprised, 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 will be revealed.

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

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

A group of people walked in the snow for a while. There were no buildings near the city gate, and there were no street signs. In addition, it was very windy and snowy. If it weren't for the merchants from Silverpine City to lead the way, they might have lost their way.

"Huh~"

Finally came out!

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

The soldier in front spoke:

"Everyone, should you find a place to live first, or..."

"With such a heavy snowfall, of course I have to find a place to live. Do you have any recommended places?"

The soldier pointed forward.

"Go forward and you will see the hotel, which is all over the place. The most luxurious hotel in our Silver Pine City is also here. You can go directly there. I will report to the city owner."

"Thank you!"

The soldiers were offered some silver coins, but they did not refuse.

After the soldiers left, Marlowe said:

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

"it is good."

Soon, everyone saw a dilapidated hotel.

This shabby is literally meaning, Shu Daqiang can see the snow inside from the hole on the roof.

"Knight Marlowe, thank you for your care along the way! As a thank you, please be sure to accept it."

A businessman handed over a purse to bid Marlowe farewell.

He is a member of the Red Leaf 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 spend some money.

Marlowe didn't refuse.

After accepting the benefits from some people, Marlowe led the group to move on.

Because it was snowing heavily today, there were not many people on the road, and the few people were surprised to see Marlowe. They didn't understand why there were still caravans coming to their Silverpine City in this snowy day? This is so rare!

"Is this their most luxurious hotel?"

Looking at the sign marked "Luxury Hotel", Marlowe was a little uncertain. He didn't know whether the most luxurious hotel mentioned by the soldiers just meant the hotel was luxurious or the name was luxurious.

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

With so many people coming 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!"

Hearing what the boss said, Marlowe felt that there should be something wrong here.

"Yes, we are going to stay in a hotel. With so many people, do you have enough rooms?"

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

The boss's eyes lit up, and he respectfully invited everyone in.

Among the crowd, Annie held her nose and complained to Abe:

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

Abbe was helpless.

"This is not Hongye City, there won't be another Hongye Hotel."

"But it smells so bad in here!"

Annie's eyebrows were twisted into twists.

After waiting for the boss to take them to the so-called most luxurious room, Shu Daqiang was a little speechless.

This environment is not even as good as the rooms of ordinary civilians in Hongye City! Not to mention comparing with Hongye Hotel.

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

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

They don't know when this snow will stop. If it gets heavier and heavier, they can only stay in Silverpine City for a while.

Although the environment here is not very good, it is no problem to make do with it.

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

Those businessmen in Silverpine City, after returning home, didn't want to stop for a moment. They left and went to the tavern, where there were more people like this.

Although there was no heating in the tavern in Silverpine City, there were so many people that it was still quite warm.

Eugene is a businessman from Silverpine City. Because of the heavy snow, he had no choice but to go to Hongye City to take refuge temporarily. However, he did not expect that Hongye City is such a magical city.

He doesn't even want to come back.

But Hongye City is not a long-term place for him, after all, his money bag does not support it.

Although he was not very lucky and did not become a member of the Red Leaf Business Alliance, he gained a lot this time. He spent almost all the gold coins on him, and what he got in exchange was many things that Silver Pine City did not have.

Eugene came to the tavern. Although he was dressed thick enough, it was still a bit cold in the tavern.

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

There was no other way, Eugene had no choice but to order a glass of dark beer a little depressed.

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

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

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

"Benson, long time no see!"

Benson is Eugene's business partner, and his strength is about the same as Eugene's.

The two clinked a glass, drinking the somewhat hard-to-drink dark beer, Eugene's face wrinkled.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Benson thought he was sick, so he asked with some concern.

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

In the end, still feeling sorry for his copper coins, Eugene closed his eyes and swallowed the large glass of dark beer in one gulp.

"It's bad? Hey, tell me the truth, where did you get rich? I haven't seen you for so long, and you think the dark beer is bad? Could it be that you have been drinking mulled wine all the time!"

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

That dress looks much prettier than my own!

"Spiced wine? Heh, I don't drink that stuff, it's expensive and tasteless!"

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

What's wrong with Eugene, he speaks so loudly? Could it be that he really made a fortune!

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

Eugene looked mysterious.

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

Benson was speechless.

"No, no, it's not, it's Hongye City!"

Looking at the excited Eugene, Benson searched all the memories in his mind, and he had never heard of the name Hongye City!

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. I haven't heard of Hongye City at all!"

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, making Benson confused whether what he said was true or not.

Eugene also knew that the other party would definitely not believe what he said just by his own words, after all, he himself had a feeling of unreality.

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

"Leaving aside Hongye City, do you think my clothes look good?"

"nice."

Benson spoke honestly.

"I bought this dress in Hongye City!"

Benson touched the fabric of the clothes, and he couldn't put it down because of the soft and smooth feel.

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

"No, I'm the cheapest dress for anyone, only one silver coin."

Eugene was a little embarrassed. It's not that he didn't want to buy those expensive clothes, but he had no money. Before the clothing store opened, his gold coins had already been spent.

"What, a silver coin!"

Benson's exclamation was a bit loud. Seeing the people around him cast their gazes over, Benson quickly whispered:

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

There is a hundred times difference between a silver coin and a gold coin!

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

Regarding the clothes of Hongye City, Eugene would not be able to finish talking in a day, and now is obviously not the time for a long speech.

"I do not believe!"

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

No matter the quality or style of this piece of clothing, it is not ordinary. 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 rolled suddenly, he was going to change the way.

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

Benson spoke without thinking.

He even felt that the two gold coins are not a loss, but he is a businessman after all, so it is impossible to tell the psychological price right away, at worst, we can talk about it later!

Moreover, he thought that this was just Eugene's casual talk. If he had such a beautiful dress, he would definitely not sell it. After all, one or 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 one hand!"

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

really sold?

"Hurry up, take off your clothes, I'm freezing!"

Under Eugene's urging, Benson changed into a new suit in a daze.

Feeling the very smooth fabric on his body, 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?"

"Then there is still a fake!"

Eugene whispered in Benson's ear quietly:

"Do you want more? One gold coin, no bargaining!"

"You still have? How many?"

"Not many, only a hundred or so. If you want all of them, I'll give you a 10% discount!"

"More than a hundred pieces! No more, no more!"

Benson thought he only had one piece of clothing, although he felt that even if he bought more than a hundred pieces, it would not be 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 later. By the way, I remember that you like drinking very much? I still have good wine from Hongye City here. Do you want it?"

"Fine wine?"

Hearing that it was something from Hongye City again, Benson looked forward to it, he licked his lips and said:

"You show me to see, if I am good, I will!"

"Of course, the wine there is much better than ours in Silverpine City!"

Eugene took out a small iron jug from his arms and poured a little 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 someone be so stingy when buying wine, at least let you have a drink.

"Stingy? Do you know how scarce this wine is? Wine is limited in Hongye City. This is my last pot of wine. It will be gone after drinking it!"

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

"I haven't drunk any wine, not even the three great wines of the capital, you wine, heh!"

As he spoke, Benson raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well--"

Suddenly, Benson's eyes widened with disbelief.

"How about it? Is this wine delicious? Do you want it? If you want it, I'll sell it to you cheap!"

Eugene smiled a profiteer.

That piece of clothing just now can earn a hundred times the price. If he doesn't believe it, these wines can't be earned!

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

Benson looked a little embarrassed.

"Um?"

Eugene originally thought that Benson really didn't taste it, but when he saw his eyeballs looking at his flagon from time to time, Eugene instantly understood that he was lying!

"Since you haven't tasted it, forget it, I won't sell you, I believe there are so many people in the tavern, there will be someone who will like it!"

Seeing that Eugene was about to leave, Benson couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly grabbed Eugene.

"Come on, we can talk again! I'm willing to pay a high price for it!"

The corner of Eugene's mouth twitched, and he dragged Benson to a corner to discuss the purchase and sale of wine.

...

There are many other examples of Eugene. Those Yinpine City merchants who came back from Red Leaf City couldn’t wait to show their gains. They risked their lives and returned to Silver Pine City from Red Leaf City. Why? moment! It is to earn ten times, or even a hundred times the benefits!

Today's Silverpine City is destined to be restless.

...

Early the next morning, Marlowe received an unexpected invitation.

"Silver Pine City mainly entertains us?"

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

Except for Marlowe, everyone here counts as one, and all of them have received invitations.

"Is there any conspiracy?"

As a rat orc, Shu Daqiang was still very vigilant, and he subconsciously thought of the worst.

"probably not."

Marlow frowned and rejected the idea of ​​the Rat Orc Man, because they seemed to be soldiers who were only responsible for protection and did not bring any valuables. The other party probably didn't know the priceless goods in their hands.

The mayor really has some bad ideas, he just entertained the businessmen in the hotel, there is no need to invite himself.

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

No one would take such a risk before confirming their own strength.

"It's nothing, maybe it's just an ordinary banquet. He probably heard about the Hongye City and wanted to inquire about it."

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

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

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

Although Silverpine City is very large, its City Lord's Mansion is similar to Hongye City, or in other words, the buildings in this world are similar with minor differences.

After being informed 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 damper, and at the same time there is a decayed and foul smell.

Cold and damp are common problems in castles, and the castles in Hongye City used to be like this.

The castle is not only gloomy and cold, but also very dark. In order to make the defense stronger, the windows of the castle are built high and small, with 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 has the same structure as the first floor, it is brightly lit because of the many torches.

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

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

Directly in front of him was a man with a slightly fat body. He was wearing a brightly colored robe and a colorful hat on his head. Anyone who could wear clothes of this color was undoubtedly the city lord.

There are some people sitting beside him, they should be the retainers of the city lord, they are whispering something with the city lord.

"My lord, the man has already brought it."

The soldiers leading the way trotted over and reported to the Lord of Yinpine City.

Hearing the report from the soldiers, the city lord raised his head and looked at Marlowe and his party. He stood up with a smile on his face:

"Welcome to Silverpine City, everyone. I am Earl Langman, the lord of Silverpine City. To express my welcome, I have prepared some food. I hope you will not dislike me."

"I have seen the Lord City Lord!"

"I have seen the Earl!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted.

Shu Daqiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the city lord was an earl. He remembered that Master Zhang Feng was only a baron.

Although he felt that the title of title didn't mean anything, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This earl's territory is really hot!

"Everyone, please!"

Earl Longman made a gesture of invitation, and everyone sat down.

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 didn't see Malu's face. When Marlowe took his seat and took off his helmet, an exclamation sounded.

"Marlowe? It's you!"

Following the sound, Marlowe saw a familiar face.

"Marcy?"

Isn't this woman with freckles the former mayor of Hongye City, Marcie?

"It's really you, Marlowe!"

Someone spoke again, and Marlowe turned his head to look, and there were several people here who were his acquaintances.

"I heard that a caravan came from Hongye City, and I wondered who would be able to travel such a long distance in such severe weather. It turned out that you Marlowe led the team! It's not surprising!"

Someone said that he was a former knight of Hongye City and Marlowe's former colleague.

As for Marlowe's strength, he couldn't be more clear about it. It can be said that the few knights they left may not necessarily be Marlowe's opponent!

In this regard, he regretted that Hongye City was hopeless, and 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 meet it again here!

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

Just facing the words of this former colleague, he could even brag, but Marlowe didn't answer.

At the most difficult time in Hongye City, these people chose to leave. Although Marlowe couldn't judge anything, from the moment they left, these people were no longer his friends.

Marlowe had considered them both friends before.

The knight was a little embarrassed when he didn't get a reply from Marlowe.

The city lord, who had been silent all this time, smoothed things over with a smile.

"Hehe, so they are all acquaintances, that's just right, we can chat while eating!"

The mayor clapped his hands.

"Serve!"

"Heh! Who are you showing such a stinking face to! Is Hongye City already gone? You are fleeing, right? I told you a long time ago, Hongye City can't stay!"

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

Everyone in Marlowe looked strange.
