Chapter 3 The Forgotten City
Red Leaf Hotel.
The name is like Red Leaf City, ordinary.
In fact, it is true that at least from Zhang Feng's perspective, ordinary people are just praises.
The interior of the hotel was as expected by Zhang Feng. It was wet, dark and small, and there was not even a reception hall, with only a table and a thin human lying on the table.
The smell of mold mixed with sweat, food, livestock, and even feces fermented together. The sourness and sourness made Zhang Feng unable to open his eyes. He covered his nose with one hand and knocked on the door frame with the other.
"Is anyone?"
Hearing the movement, the man lying on the table moved and raised his head reluctantly.
"Who!"
But after he saw the strange but exquisite Zhang Feng in front of him, his good professional qualities made him wake up instantly. He immediately ran to the man who was probably a nobleman, nodded and bowed:
"Hello, sir, I am the owner of our store. Do you need any help?"
Perhaps because of staying here for a long time, the smell on the owner's body became even stronger. Zhang Feng subconsciously took two steps back and said helplessly:
"Is there any room?"
"certainly!"
The owner's eyes lit up and he answered instantly.
He did not expect that a nobleman could visit his small shop, because the nobles never mingled with the common people, and those proud nobles would rather sleep on the street than beneath the same roof with the untouchables.
If you are happy to serve this noble, you will reward you with anything and make a lot of money.
"Then take me to see."
Although Zhang Feng didn't have any hope, what if the room was cleaner, or even if the smell was less, it would be enough to make a living. Zhang Feng was not such a precious person.
But obviously, Zhang Feng was disappointed.
The room is not small, with a room of about 30 square meters, which is more than enough to sleep alone. Of course, it would be even better if it weren't for that cow.
“Moo~”
Zhang Feng and the cow stared at each other with big eyes. He couldn't figure out why there was a cow in the hotel room.
"What~"
A few sheep calls made Zhang Feng come to his senses. Only then did he realize that not only were there cows, but there were three sheep behind the cows!
"There are all this rooms in your house?"
Zhang Feng pinched his nose and pointed at the cow and asked speechlessly.
"Yes, sir, because there are merchants from afar coming to Hongye City to sell livestock in the past two days. Before they can be sold out, they are temporarily boarding in our hotel."
The shop owners did not have any inappropriateness because they had already formed a habit of living in the same room as the livestock.
Disturbing, say goodbye!
Zhang Feng bowed to the shop owner, and when the other party was puzzled what the action meant, Zhang Feng slipped away.
"Hey? Sir, we have a bigger room here. Do you really don't need to think about it again! Sir~"
...
Zhang Feng felt a little crying without tears.
Why travel to this place where shit and urine flows!
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.
Why did God torture me like this!
In fact, the taste is second, mainly because it is too dirty. Zhang Feng knew that these animals are prone to infectious diseases, especially because he is an "outsider". In this place where technology is backward, if he really contagious of some disease, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Feng planned to find the local Keton, and give him some compensation to see if he could think of a solution for him.
After all, I have been in contact with Cotton for more than a day and think that others are pretty good and a little clever, but they are more of the simplicity of farmers and have no bad intentions. If someone is a little bit ill, they find a single "noble" with a lot of wealth. Zhang Feng doesn't know if he can successfully arrive in Hongye City.
As for getting a job at Baron Charles' castle, Zhang Feng had never thought about it, but looking at the team of soldiers holding bright swords just now, he was a little scared. Although it seems that in addition to backward skills and poor environment, the public security here is not bad, but what if it is, after all, he is a fake nobleman, it is better to be cautious.
At the same time, the town hall not far from the castle.
In the dim conference hall, more than a dozen people sat next to each other around the long table, but they all remained silent.
"Uh, what should we do?"
Finally, a strong man in shiny knight armor took the lead in breaking the silence. The scar on his face was as tangled as he was now. He scratched his short golden hair, and snowflakes were flying for a moment.
"Hey! Baker, be careful!"
A lady next to him who was dressed in exquisitely and smelled, waved her hand exaggeratedly, looking very disgusted.
Baker opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could say it, a lady in robes beside him sarcastically.
"Stop slapping Marcy, the smell of your inferior perfume is really disgusting!"
"Branchi, you!"
The woman known as Marcy was like a furry cock, glaring at Blanche.
"Okay! Everyone, it's not the time to argue!"
Another knight sitting in the top of the head patted the table and stopped the verbal war that was about to break out.
"What should you do about the problems you are about to face?"
"What else can I do? Let's break up!"
Marcy said indifferently.
"Now is not the time to get angry, Marcy, please be serious!"
The knight in the lead was a little unhappy.
"Hey, Marlow, I'm just serious! Baron Charles is no longer here. Without him, can you manage Red Leaf City? The finances of Red Leaf City are already in short supply. Even if there are some wheat in the fields, they can't supply the lives of more than a thousand people in Red Leaf City in the next few months. Winter is coming, and whether those untouchables can see the sun next spring is a problem. If it weren't for the generous rewards that Charles promised, I wouldn't want to stay in this broken place!"
Listening to Marcy's complaint, Knight Marlow was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"We can jointly ask the king for help in the name of the Red Leaf City Hall..."
"Come on! A remote and barren place like Red Leaf City has no oil and water to reap. It is thankless for anyone to come. Only fools will come. Besides, whether they can see the king is still a question. Even the king himself forgot that there is such a remote place in his kingdom!"
Marcy responded without hesitation.
Marlow fell silent again. He knew that what Marcy was saying was the truth, but if he gave up, the thousands of civilians in the Red Leaf City would not be able to survive this winter. He was a little reluctant to stick to the spirit of the chivalrous.
"There is only one way that is not a solution, that is, sell Baron Charles' title and territory to the great nobles, and get the blessing of the great nobles, and Red Leaf City may survive. Of course, we can make a fortune by the way!"
As soon as Marcy said this, most people's eyes lit up. They didn't care about how Hongye City was, what they cared about was that they could make a fortune!
However, a few discerning people knew that this was impossible, because the Baroness would not agree. Without her nod, the title could not be traded successfully. Besides, the great nobles looked down on this barren place.
Marlow sighed. They were originally pieced together by Baron Charles. When Baron Charles was there, he could control everyone with his reputation and interests. Now that he is no longer there, the team will fall apart at any time.
"Hey, you said Baron Charles is the same. It's fine. He insisted on hunting the brown bear. The bear didn't hunt, but he just accompanied his life in. Why bother! He died so much, leaving the mess to us!"
"Isn't it because of his wife who just passed the door that wants to make a beautiful woman smile? Haha! This is really harmful to others and yourself!"
"I want to tell you that all this is his wife's problem. She is just a broom star. If she doesn't marry this person, there will be nothing now!"
Someone whispered, but the conference room was so big that everyone heard it.
"Enough, let's go here today and have a meeting."
Marlow interrupted everyone's discussion with some annoyance, his face was not very good.
