The two sisters Ling and Lian were sitting on chairs, using wooden knives and forks to concentrate on the barbecue and bread on the plate in front of them, making a squeaking sound. There was a very cute white milk mark on the lips of the two sisters, and the milk was
The cup was put aside.
Sloma is a relatively large town close to the Butchi region. This small town on the border of the Black Forest has long gathered a large number of adventurers and merchants doing business in the Black Forest. It is the border between Madala and Eruin.
One of the largest settlements and markets in the outside world. Of course, this is usually a no-nonsense area. The owner of the town is a mercenary group. Here, as long as there is no open battle, all conspiracies and tricks are allowed.
Of course, these little tricks were not taken seriously by Brando. After secretly dealing with three short-sighted thieves who tried to attack Ling and Lian, and two thieves who tried to covet his wallet, they sat down safely.
In this hotel, of course, the two sisters knew nothing about it.
This place is very close to both the Ring of the Trade Winds and Butch. To the north is the southern foothills of Tosancade Forest and the Silman Valley, and to the west is the gentle slopes of the Grahar Mountains.
I remember that before the summer came, he once took Freya into the Grahar Mountains. The twilight forest he saw when he looked east on the cliff was actually the forest they were in now.
A forest called 'Summer Woodland'.
This forest is the easternmost point of the Black Forest Zone in the Ring of Trade Winds. Further east is the Butchi Mountains that connects to Madara, which is where they passed before.
This forest can be said to be part of the Black Forest, but it can also be said to be the edge area outside the Black Forest. In these inaccessible places, there are often opportunities that ordinary people cannot imagine, such as magical beasts, mineral deposits in the forest, and things left by previous generations.
The treasures and relics may represent a windfall. Because of this reason, over time this place has become a gathering place for adventurers and desperadoes from the south of Eruin.
Brando even knew that the adventurers and mercenaries who gathered in Tonigel included this place in their autumn and summer routes. Every spring they would set out from Tonigel and pass through the Tuosangkader Forest.
Here, they take risks, seek commissions or just find something to do. After entering autumn and before winter, they will leave this place and return to Tonigel to spend the long winter.
However, since the original lord of the Fir Territory was killed by him, the order of Tony Geer was completely cleared. Except for some law-abiding adventurers, the original desperadoes and mercenaries were driven out of Tony Gere. They have
Some went to the Silman area, and some went to Chablis. But no matter which way, there were more and more outsiders staying in Maros for the winter.
That's why the current bustling scene is happening. Before the Year of the Sword, this small town would have been relatively deserted and depressed at this time of year.
Mercenaries and adventurers, the well-known desperadoes in Warnd Continent, are some of the poorest people in the world, but they are also some of the richest. The money they have comes and goes quickly.
Because no one knows when they will die, carpe diem has become the credo of this kind of people. The spending habits of spending money like water have driven local commercial activities, and the businessmen gathered here came from this, but it unfolds from this
There are also many types of commercial activities, including women who are engaged in the flesh business.
Just opposite the hotel, Brando saw several scantily clad prostitutes soliciting customers. Most of their customers were not sophisticated guys. Some of them openly flirted on the street.
When Brando saw a guy put his hands under one of the women's clothes, he finally couldn't help frowning, stood up and closed the window.
Next, after throwing a guy who was yelling and threatening him to open the window from the hall to the street outside, Brando clapped his hands and sat down again. He saw that the faces of the two sisters in front of him were a little red, and Ling's face was red.
A little more calm, Lian's face already looked like a ripe apple.
"Don't worry about those people, they are just a bunch of human scum."
"Yes. Mr. Brando." The little girl stammered.
"Eat more, you must finish the milk." Seeing the disgusted looks on the faces of the two sisters, Brando couldn't help but smile: "The barbecue sauce here is special. You can't get such authentic food in Chablis to the north.
The taste is amazing, the ingredients in the dark forest are very rare outside. The next meal will have to go to Tonigel to eat such rich food, and you will have to eat dried meat on the way."
Lian couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard this. The dried meat used as dry food on the road was dry and salty, like firewood that had overturned the salt shaker. Of course, it looked that way.
But no matter what, it is much better than the two sisters who are often hungry. And at least they don't have to be frightened around this adult.
It's a pity that my sister insists on going back to Llantonilan, and she also wants to go back to see the monastery and her friends, otherwise it seems that it would be good to stay in Llantonigal.
In addition to the mouth-watering roast venison, the dinner also included a kind of curved croissant, which is also a local specialty. It was flavored with several berries from the black forest. It was deeply loved by the two sisters, even the usually taciturn Ling was eating it.
After taking a sip, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
After the meal, Brando ordered fruits for dessert for the two sisters. The wooden tray was filled with grapes and wild strawberries. In fact, these fruits were the most expensive part of the meal and were produced along the coast of Lantoniland.
The grapes in the lowland manors must be stored in magic cellars before they can be adapted to long-distance transportation. The merchants put partitions in the wooden boxes, pad them with layers of straw, then put the magically preserved grapes, then spread the straw, and finally
It took nailing wooden planks and traveling hundreds of miles to get here. The grapes that can be seen everywhere in the Lantoniland lowlands are more expensive than gold here.
Lian was relatively knowledgeable and had a strong memory, so she vaguely guessed the value of these precious fruits, which not only made her feel a little uneasy. Eating the same weight of gold in one meal simply made the sisters, who had always lived in poverty, feel a little guilty.
However, Brando didn't care about this. From Naoyao to Bodo and then to Maros, the three of them had been sleeping in the open air. Although with his current strength, it didn't matter what he ate, but the two little girls were still in their prime.
According to their physical stage, converted into human years, they are no more than eleven years old at most. It is the time when they need to supplement their nutrition. There are no conditions in the wilderness. After finally reaching a foothold, they naturally have to work harder and reward themselves.
These two sisters are Bai's children, but they are also relatives of Metisa. In Brando's opinion, these two cute and strong little girls should have been born to enjoy a life of luxury like princesses, but the reality makes them struggle.
In the difficult situation, but even so, they still did not give up optimistic hope, but embarked on the road to find their mother without hesitation.
During the journey of thousands of miles from Lantonilan to Madala, they not only protected themselves well, but also studied while traveling. With this perseverance, it is hard not to like them.
What's more, this amount of money is actually nothing to Brando. Not to mention that the huge wealth of Valhalla and Firland belongs to him. Even Earl Denel's annuity cannot be used up at all.
The only thing that surprised Brando was that these fresh magic cellar grapes were more expensive outside Lantoniland than the red wine produced by the local manor in previous years. They were precious ingredients that could only be seen on the tables of nobles, and he didn't
To expect to see something like this in this border town is not just due to its value and price.
Because this also involves the local consumption power, Brando can't help but wonder, is it possible that after more than two years in Tonigel, the small place of Maros has prospered to such a situation, and every small hotel is ready at any time.
Will you receive noble guests?
But Brando's question was quickly answered. A young man appeared in front of him holding a wine glass. The silk robe on the other person's body and the emblem on the mink hat all showed that he was a child of the aristocracy. But cloth
Lando noticed that the other party's behavior was slightly inappropriate. Although he himself was not a serious noble, he was surrounded by the best nobles in the kingdom such as Her Royal Highness the Princess, Overwell, and Nymesis.
, he has finally reached the point where he has never eaten pork, and observation alone is enough to tell whether a nobleman has real background.
Although Brando himself feels that this ability is of no use.
He guessed that this young man might be a child of some emerging noble families in Eruin.
Since the war between Ampelsel and Gendenel, the structure of the nobility in the kingdom has undergone great changes. Those nobles who were persecuted during the Frost Rebellion have been rehabilitated one after another, although some of them may not have been members of the royal party originally.
However, because there were too many positions left vacant during the two wars, and Her Royal Highness the Princess re-canonized a group of meritorious nobles after the war, new nobles still sprung up from the ground like mushrooms after rain.
The typical characteristic of these new nobles is that they have no fiefdoms, or the fiefdoms are very small and have no real power, but they are often close to the royal family or Her Royal Highness, or have real power, although Eruin has not yet been called a 'government' or 'government'
The ruling body of the imperial court, but under his more or less influence, a bureaucracy around Princess Griffin and Haruze is gradually forming. These people will constitute Eruin's new political system in the future.
Ecology, they will no longer be princes, but ministers of kings and kingdoms.
