Autumn is gradually passing away, and winter is coming quietly.
When winter is about to arrive, the hot Pompeii gradually becomes cooler.
To the north of the endless deep forest, and to the south of Pompeii, vast tracts of farmland were developed, dotted with villages from time to time. In the north, a city stood.
The circular city walls are very tall and thick, and an arrow tower stands on every other section of the wall, silently announcing that this is a defensive fortress.
The two clay golems on both sides of the four city gates add endless persuasiveness to the defensive power of this military fortress.
This is the Pompeii family declaring to the whole world that we have the power to defend our territory.
At this time, many visitors came to Pompeii.
David is one of them.
David is a resident of Sparta, the main city of Marquis Parker, and among the recent visitors, the people of Marquis Parker are the largest.
There is no way, the Marquis Parker, nicknamed "The Executioner", is gradually losing the credibility and prestige of a lord.
First, the farmers lost their land and were forced to flee the Marquis of Parker.
Then came the middle class, and some left the territory.
Most of the people who come to Pompeii to get their jobs are because of Pompeii’s low housing prices and the many jobs Pompeii advertises.
David came here because of the low housing prices. He planned to sell his house in Sparta and buy a small house in the countryside.
Anyway, in David's opinion, a house is just a thing that can be lived in.
Sell your house in Sparta, where housing prices are relatively high, and buy a house in the countryside with low housing prices. The money you free up can make your life more comfortable.
This is a good thing.
Of course, the most important thing is that David also feels that Marquis Parker is really terrible. Living with this Marquis, life is gradually becoming depressing, and David cannot stand the atmosphere.
As for work, David is not afraid either.
He was a chef himself and ran a small restaurant in a civilian area of Sparta. In David's opinion, since the Pompeii family wanted to build a new city, they would not worry about losing business by opening a small restaurant.
However, David still had doubts. The most important thing was whether the Pompeii family was really as powerful as outsiders said and could ensure the safety of the city.
So David came here for inspection this time, not to settle down. David came with several friends who, like David, had the intention of living in Pompeii.
The group came in a flat carriage, and the driver was also a group, so even the fare was saved.
"This road is well repaired, big and smooth." David wrapped himself in the clothes. Because his family was not wealthy, his clothes were a little thin in winter, but David was used to it and could bear it.
live.
He curiously looked at the deep forest avenue outside the cart and praised it.
"I heard that the roads in Pompeii are all big and smooth. The acting lord, the next generation of Pompeii knights, is known as the "Benevolent One". Not only is he very kind to the people, but he also pays special attention to building roads and cities, and the roads must be
I feel like I can’t just poop on the road, for example.”
One of David's friends replied.
"It's a good rule not to poop casually. Usually when I'm on the road, I feel sick when I see human feces and livestock feces on the roadside. If it's summer, it's even more disgusting, with flies and mosquitoes flying around."
David's eyes lit up and he said.
As a chef, David likes to be clean and tidy than most people. He liked this rule as soon as he heard it.
"In fact, these are not important. What is important is the city's defense. This is an endless deep forest, a scary place filled with monsters and even giant dragons."
Another friend said.
"That's true." David nodded. This is the most troubling question for everyone, and it is also the meaning of this journey.
inspection.
After walking through the deep forest road, the group finally arrived at the Pompeii Territory. They entered a large area of farmland. Due to the season, the farmland was bare and no crops grew.
A towering city can be seen further away.
Seeing the city towering in the distance, the group gradually became excited and full of anticipation. But when the group reached the bottom of the city gate, they fell into a sluggish state.
I saw two huge clay golems, wearing iron armor and holding iron swords, standing majestically on the left and right sides of the city gate.
"Oh my God, how much did these two statues cost to make?"
One of David's friends exclaimed.
"I don't know much. I think this thing may not be an ordinary statue, but a creation of a wizard." Another friend of David was knowledgeable.
"Wizard's creation?" David and the others knew each other.
"You are right. These two golems are indeed created by wizards. They are called "Clay Golems". They are the trophies obtained by the lord after he annihilated the Qiufeng bandits. As long as they are driven by wizards, their power can exceed that of junior knights.
It can effectively resist monsters."
A group of guards stood on both sides of the city gate, and one of the guards said in a tone full of pride.
"A golem that surpasses the power of a junior knight?" David swallowed. If he was shocked just now, now he was shocked with a little fear.
It always feels like these two golems will draw their swords at any time.
horrible.
But it feels so safe.
Magical creation.
"Master guard, we would like to know about Pompeii's housing prices. What should we do?" David got off the carriage and asked the guard respectfully.
"You can see Pompeii Castle if you go straight from here. There is a city hall next to the castle. You can just go to the city hall and inquire about the situation."
The guard pointed.
In fact, this guard was specially selected, a kind-faced and eloquent person, to deal with this kind of situation.
Because the number of visitors to Pompeii has gradually increased recently, Luther made this preparation.
After receiving instructions from the guards, David and his party entered the city. The first thing they saw was the military facility on the right.
There are row houses, playgrounds and other facilities, and you can also see many armed guards. The guards are currently training. David and his team do not understand military affairs, but their intuition tells them that these guards are training very hard.
Huge city walls, tall clay golems, and a large number of guards in training after entering the city.
The Davids' investigation had just begun, but they already had a tendency in their hearts.
What a new city, giving them a sense of security.
When David and his party arrived at the city hall, enthusiastic officials received them and told them in detail the current housing prices in Pompeii.
This made David and his party feel flattered again.
They were people from the city of Sparta. Whatever Marquis Parker was like, his officials were like that. Not only were they greedy and cruel, but they were even more unreasonable towards the civilians.
But now when they come to Pompeii, they feel that the attitude of the officials is warm and hospitable.
"It is indeed a city led by the acting lord of Pompeii, who is known as a benevolent man. The officials are also so kind. It is safe and reliable, and the officials are also very friendly. I think this is an ideal living environment." David thought happily in his heart.
