(Seeking monthly pass)
In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines from the horizon, everything wakes up and starts a new day of life.
With the soldiers shouting "hey y y y y y" and vigorously pushed forward, the tall and heavy iron-clad gate of the city of Nydal issued a series of sour shēn chants, and finally sternly Hit the city wall. There was a loud bang immediately.
As the gate opened, the soldiers moved the winch, and followed the iron chain as thick as an adult's arm with a clattering sound, and the suspension bridge in front was slowly lowered.
At the same time, even more soldiers ran over and moved the iron refuge in front of the bridge.
The city of Nydal was closed with the sunset, and only reopened at sunrise the next day. In the middle, only a few people's orders could open the gates of Nydal.
Now, the gates of Nydel, which had been closed all night, were completely opened.
The caravan and the people who had been waiting outside the city for a long time saw the city gate open and couldn't help but move. Then they stood up from the ground one after another, then lined up and walked towards the city gate.
They are all people from around Nydel City. They go to the city early in the morning to work or do some small business. In order to catch the morning market, some people even get up at two or three in the middle of the night, carrying a burden or driving. Car, find a front position at the gate of the city.
Even savvy businessmen discovered the business opportunities here, and simply set up a small rice stall near the city gate to sell some fast food that farmers like.
Waiting to enter the city, hawkers, bargaining, and the carefree frolic of the children, making the city gate very lively.
Seeing the city gate opened, the crowd yelled "open, open", and squeezed forward.
An officer carrying a shining silver star on his shoulders mostly walked out of the command post, with his hands on his hips, standing in the middle of the road, watching the noisy and chaotic caravans with cold eyes, and then blowing hard. The whistle in his mouth yelled: "Line up, keep to the right, and all those who dare to jump in the line will shut up and reflect for a day. Did you hear that?
Keep right. Say you, it's you. Bastard. Didn't you hear it? Keep to the right. "
He shouted angrily and walked forward.
Not far from him, a middle-aged fat man in a long robe was stunned in the same place, looking at the officer unblinkingly with an expression of astonishment.
At this moment, the officer had already arrived, and seeing this guy stupidly standing in the middle of the road, he immediately shouted. But immediately seeing the reflection on the other's robe, he couldn't help but startled. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at his clothes carefully.
Only the rich, or those who do not do physical labor, wear robes with a pair of breasts. The poor usually wear two short dresses, so that they can work on their own.
Sure enough, the officer saw that the robe was finely stitched with ornate gold edges. Obviously, it was either rich or expensive. The price of this piece of clothing was almost equal to his half-year salary, which ordinary people could not afford.
But looking at the sèze of the robe, it is obviously a bit old, and it can be seen that there is a young man's hair. The iron of the robe is not worn or stained. It seems that I can't bear to wear it.
He immediately judged that the identity of the other party was not a shabby little nobleman, or a rich landlord in the countryside, with a little money and excellent face.
Although these two kinds of people are extremely despised, they are much stronger than ordinary people.
At any rate, you still rely on the side of the ruling class. If you have a good relative, you may be able to get a small position in the government.
However, although the identity of the other party is not low, it is relative, and it is not much higher. Maybe you can pull in front of the people at the door of the house, but when you enter Nydel City, you have to go around.
In fact, in terms of status, the officer felt that he was still half a head taller than him.
For this kind of person, even if you can't beat and scold casually like ordinary people, but a few reprimands, there is no problem.
Thinking of this, the officer paused, and then shouted angrily: "What did you do? Don't you know how to keep to the right?"
The middle-aged man flushed immediately and said, "You can't be so unreasonable, this lord, I am a nobleman. I am Lord Thrall of Meadow City, hereditary is a knighthood."
Having said this, the middle-aged man raised his head proudly.
Very good, I didn't lose sight. This guy is not only a rich man in the country, but also a shabby little nobleman in the country-the officer glanced at him very much and said in his heart.
In the eyes of this gang of arrogant soldiers in Nydal City, a little lord is indeed very inconspicuous. Those who come out and go in all day are all Viscount Barons, and those who are familiar with each other can even joke each other, let alone more The eldest princess and the little father-in-law.
But at the same time, he took a deep breath, and then suppressed his anger.
The nobleman, even though he is a shabby little nobleman, has certain privileges.
Although don't be afraid of him. But as a nobleman, they all have intertwined relationships. A hereditary title, even the last lord, is also very valuable. This means that his ancestor is at least a high-ranking military officer with meritorious service, and his family has a manor fief the size of a small village. There are a lot of aristocratic relatives turning around.
In case that grandson sue to the Senate, although he won't take what he has done, it will be a little troublesome.
He stretched out his hand to salute, and then said coldly: "Lord Thrall of Meadow City, please obey the traffic rules and keep to the right, like everyone else."
As he said, he stretched out his hand for a gesture, and this time he spoke with honorifics.
Lord Thrall looked back, but saw that everyone who entered the city next to him was looking at him with strange eyes: contempt, joking, surprise, disdain...
That means it's like saying "just this quality, return it to the nobleman".
Lord Thrall blushed, but then he felt his self-esteem hurt, and he immediately raised his neck and defended himself: "Whatever goes on the right. I'm in our village, and I just go casually. Just here you are. There are many rules."
After speaking, with his hands on his hips, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the officer pretentiously.
"Our village~!"
Well, this lord is indeed a rubbish, and it is estimated that he has not been in the city for many years.
The officer rubbed his forehead with a headache and was about to change to an ordinary person. He kicked him back early, but ordinary people didn't have the guts to challenge an officer.
He reluctantly compromised: "Well, Lord Thrall of Meadow City, since you are in Nyan, you have to follow our Nyan's rules. This is our Governor's order, please keep to the right, okay? ?"
Lord Thrall curled his lips, with a look of disdain, and said, "You wouldn't have finished talking like this a long time ago?"
With that, he flicked his sleeves heavily, and then walked back to the team.
The officer curled his lips and shook his fist at his back.
The people next to him hurriedly stepped aside, leaving a place for him, and Thrall immediately squeezed in unceremoniously.
A farmer-like person in front of the Lord turned his head, looked at the Lord twice, and then smiled: "This Lord Lord? Is this your first time to Nian?"
"Yes." Lord Thrall nodded, and then said in a strange way: "Hey, how did you see it?"
The farmer smiled and cursed in his heart: Does this still need to be seen? I didn't even know if I walked to the right, I knew it was a soil bun from the countryside.
But he didn't say broken, but continued to remind him kindly, saying: "My lord, if you get to the city, be careful of those old ladies."
Lord Thrall was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Be careful of old ladies? Why should I be careful of them..."
The farmer smiled and ostentatiously said: "You don't know anything about that..."
He had just said this, and the officer next to him had already interrupted the farmer and said, "Farmer, don't speak, hurry up. Here you are. Don't block here."
The farmer looked back and found that there was someone in front of him. He couldn't help being a little strange. He just opened his mouth, but then he heard the officer say: "Aren't you picking fresh vegetables?
Adults have orders. For the convenience of service, those of you who sell vegetables and fish can take the dedicated express channel. Stop talking nonsense here, you know? "
The farmer was overjoyed immediately, and cried out: "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
With that, he greeted the lord, then pulled up his car and quickly walked towards the city gate.
Lord Thrall had not had time to question, but saw that the farmer had already gone far, and he could only watch his figure disappear at the other end of the city gate, drowning in the crowd.
At this moment, the officer commanded everyone and said, "Hurry up, hurry up. Don't block here. Go inside quickly, even if you don't want to go in quickly, there will be someone behind you in a hurry. So who, don't Block it, be careful I smoke you."
The people speeded up immediately, and Lord Thrall walked into the city involuntarily surrounded by the crowd.
As he walked through the city gate, he wondered: Why did the farmer ask him to be careful of the old ladies? This is so strange~!
When he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt his eyes light up. But saw that he had come to the city.
Suddenly, a huge hustle and bustle has come on.
Although it was early in the morning at this time, the city of Nydal had already woken up early. On both sides of the street, there are some vendors selling breakfast.
They were on the street not far from the city gate, shouting.
There is a faint fragrance in the humid air.
Congee, bread, cakes... all kinds of aromas radiated in the air, making one's index finger move.
Lord Thrall got up early in order to hurry up and didn't even eat breakfast. He didn't like the coarse food that the merchants and farmers at the gate of the city ate.
At this time, I smelled the faint fragrance of rice, and suddenly felt a gurgling noise in my stomach.
He swept a little, but he saw a lot of people in front of a stall not far away. I immediately made up my mind, since there are many people, it must be delicious. But I don’t know what is sold here?
Thinking of this, he immediately walked over. Then paid the money. Waiting aside.
But seeing that the stall owner was quickly picking up a good hot bread with both hands, and then slashed it open, and picked up a hot grilled sausage, a few pieces of vegetable leaves were stuffed in disorderly, and then he passed it over.
Now~!
Can bread be eaten with it?
Lord Thrall's eyes widened suddenly. Holding the bread, I looked up and down several times.
Where have you seen this stuff before?
Then my heart ached, and I couldn't help muttering: "This bread, you have to own a silver coin. Is this too expensive?"
In normal times, one silver coin is enough to buy good white bread, which is enough to buy a full basket.
When the stall owner heard this, he immediately raised his head, glanced at him, and smiled: "Are you new here?"
Lord Thrall nodded, and then said in a reserved manner: "Yes, I am Lord Thrall of Maiduo City."
The stall owner ignored him, a bit of bread with a knife in his hand, and said to himself: "It looks like a dumpling. Do you know what this is called? This is called a hamburger~!
I am the secret recipe of the palace, specially made by the royal family.
It was invented by our famous Governor Lorraine.
Like Little Prince Leo and Princess Catherine, they usually eat this for breakfast at home. Especially our Nian's God of Cookery, the super gourmet Miss Vera, likes this the most.
The royal chef who cooks them is my cousin. Otherwise, you people can eat the same things as the royal family.
You can be beautiful, you~! "
Lord Thrall suddenly realized that he looked down at the bread... well, hamburger. Then I realized that it didn't seem to be that expensive anymore. On the contrary, it even means something good and cheap.
After all, whether it's bread or radish, as long as this thing is dipped in the word royal, it is all cheating and expensive.
Think about it, this is what the royal family eats, and what you eat is the same as what the emperor and the princess eat.
Even though he thought so, Lord Thrall finished the burger in a few bites, and then he smacked his lips with some meaning: it was fragrant and meaty, it seemed really good.
When I have a chance back, I have to learn to do a few things.
, isn't it just cut the bread and eat it with meat? What's so difficult about this?
He thought, while picking the shreds of meat between his teeth, while walking forward casually.
Perhaps the meat was too salty. The lord felt a little itchy in his throat. He immediately coughed, and then spit on the ground heavily.
As soon as the phlegm landed, I saw four or five old ladies who jumped out from nowhere.
Although they all dressed up differently, they all carried a red cuff hoop and put them on their arms, their movements were unusually agile.
At the same time, he shouted: "Fine, fine~! Spitting everywhere, fined five silver coins~!"
In that shout, they had already rushed up with a small notebook, and surrounded the bewildered Lord Thrall, making him unable to run even if he wanted to.
People passing by looked at him sympathetically, and then hurriedly walked over.
"Punish...what is the fine?" Lord Thrall blinked, then reacted and said loudly: "What fine, I am a nobleman~!"
"Noble..." The headed fat aunt looked at him up and down, and then cleanly tore another ticket from the notebook, and said: "According to Nian's laws and regulations. As a noble, he has disorderly behavior and spitting. Punishment plus one. The fine is ten silver coins."
Lord Thrall suddenly became angry.
He immediately crumpled the ticket into a ball, and then shouted angrily: "I am a nobleman. I won't pay it, what do you want?"
The fat aunt sneered, hands on hips, and shouted: "Everyone is equal before the law. How about you being a nobleman? Do you still want to resist the law violently?"
As he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the street, and said, "I advise you to be honest. Our Nianke is different from other places. The officials are all serious and responsible. They are patrolling the streets."
Lord Thrall turned his head and glanced, but not far away, several big men in black uniforms with short sticks around their waists were staring at him maliciously, looking at it, waiting for some excuse. , And then swarmed up and grabbed himself.
Although nobles have privileges, they still have to pay taxes and fines if they should.
Lord Thrall hesitated for a moment, and then came to his mind that the hero didn't suffer from the immediate loss, leaving the green hills, not afraid of no firewood, taking a step back and broadening the sky...and so on.
He immediately swallowed his breath and said: "Well, I will admit the punishment. I will admit the punishment."
After speaking, he took a gold coin from his pocket and handed it over.
The aunt took the gold coin and looked at it carefully. Then she smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Lord Thrall and said patiently: "You are new here. Since you are a noble, you have to look like a noble. .Don't spit or spit in the city of Nydal. It's unhygienic.
Feidan makes people look down on you, even the nobles. "
Lord Thrall heard this, and he was suddenly sweaty: I really almost lost the face of the nobleman~!
He immediately agreed several times, and then fled and left quickly.
Lord Thrall ran out several streets in a row, and he was relieved to see that no one was following him again: This Nyan is really weird~!
Although that palace burger tastes good, a fat aunt dared to train a dignified nobleman, and she talked about it, saying, ‘Everyone is equal before the law. ’This is totally unimaginable in my own place.
Those ordinary people who saw the nobles were not all scared and regressed. Can't even say a word?
He didn't know that even the largest nobleman, the future emperor, and the little grandfather Leo were common among the people of Neidel. The little ruffian loves to be lively, often mingle with the people, and even steal chickens and dogs.
In the eyes of the Naian people, the nobles are really not that great—Little Duke Leo doesn’t show up in front of us. Do you think you are better than Little Duke Leo?
Lord Thrall was thinking about it, and then he heard a long cry of ‘ooh~’ coming from ahead.
Immediately afterwards, all the pedestrians on the street ran forward in unison. As they ran, they shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, the boat is coming."
Lord Thrall sped up his pace involuntarily and ran forward with the flow of people. Immediately, a big river appeared in front of him.
People all lay on both sides of the river and looked into the river.
Lord Thrall was strange for a while, and then he looked towards the river. Suddenly he was shocked, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
I saw a monster like a boat appeared on the river. A huge chimney stood in the middle, and thick smoke came out of it.
At the same time, a series of heavy rumbling roars were emitted.
"What kind of beast is this thing, right?" Lord Thrall hurriedly made a cross in front of ōng.
The person next to him took a look at him and said suddenly, "Are you new here?"
Lord Thrall was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and said, "How do you know?"
The man smirked and said, "I don't even know about the steamboat. Is it a newcomer?"
Lord Thrall wondered: "Steam... steamboat?"
The man immediately glanced at Lord Thrall diagonally,
Although not long ago, that person was the same as Lord Thrall, but now he has a sense of superiority that ‘I know more than you’.
He looked at Lord Thrall with a look that seemed to look at the soil buns, but actually looked at the soil buns. Said: "This boat was invented by Miss Rowena, the president of our Magic Association. It doesn't need manpower at all, and it can run fast without sailing."
Lord Thrall was taken aback for a moment, with a face of disbelief and said: "No...you can run fast without manpower, this...how is this possible?"
Before he could finish his words, the ship in the river had already set fire, and it uttered a long cry, and then the steam engine drove the oars on both sides and shook it quickly.
The boat immediately changed from slow to fast, and in just a few breaths, it disappeared at the other end of the river.
Lord Thrall couldn't help holding his breath.
The of light is on, this is incredible~!
But then he was relieved, maybe some magic was used?
At this moment, seeing the ship leaving, all the people who were watching turned around and left. At the same time, they were still discussing the fastest speed of this ship, or how much faster it was compared to yesterday.
Lord Thrall was stunned for a moment, and then thought of his own affairs, and wanted to find someone to inquire, but he saw several pieces of metal neatly lying on the ground not far in front.
He couldn't help but feel strange again: What is this? No one cares how to throw it on the ground?
He immediately stepped forward, but saw that the four pieces of metal were placed side by side on the ground, and there was still a thick top log underneath.
He looked back and forth, and all those pieces of metal stretched straight into the distance, and he couldn't see his head at all.
what the is it?
Lord Thrall was curious, stretched out his hand and drew a knife, then banged the metal block, and then a clearer and louder voice came.
This is definitely good steel~!
Lord Thrall immediately became angry: These Nian people are really a bunch of prodigal stuff. Such good steel is just thrown on the ground, and no one cares about it. How many weapons and tools can this be used for~!
This is no longer a prodigal, this is simply a prodigal~!
He rolled his eyes, then bent over, trying to see if he could carry a section.
At this moment, someone nearby shouted: "Hi~! Really steal it? Don't move, don't move, say you, don't move."
Immediately afterwards, a person wearing a dark blue uniform ran over.
He pulled Lord Thrall aside and said, "Are you new here?"
Lord Thrall froze for a moment, very strange, and said: "You can see it too?"
The human said: "Nonsense~ Where can the locals steal steel rails in their spare time?"
Lord Thrall wondered: "Rail?"
The man waved his hand ~EbookFREE.me~ and said, "I told you that you don't understand. This is a railway. Although I don't quite understand it, the Governor made this thing repaired. No one dared to move it. .
Think you are new here and know nothing. Go ahead, ah~! This thing can't be moved randomly. Go fast, go fast. "
With that said, he was about to drive Lord Thrall away.
Lord Thrall was anguished for a while. He was also a dignified nobleman. He usually drove a lot of people to flatter him, but when he arrived at Nian, he was regarded as a country boy. Who catches who pushes. This is too bullying.
He paused, then said: "By the way, where is your Governor's Mansion?"
The human said: "The Governor's Mansion, not far ahead, after crossing the bridge, the tallest and largest one is. By the way, why are you asking this?"
Lord Thrall smiled, then adjusted his shirt, and said: "I'm asking you Governor to discuss something to do~!" @.
