The capital of the Kingdom of Delgada, the city of Rogaland, is filled with people and traffic.
The city is divided into several districts, the poor district, the rich district, the aristocratic district and the palace district.
Each district is distinct.
The poor sweat profusely every day, exude a strong stench, and work hard for daily survival, just like cockroaches in the sewer.
The rich and nobles are extravagant and extravagant, so that they can study beautiful decorations, eat all kinds of food prepared with spices, and chase all kinds of excitement, just like the rats in the warehouse.
This is the real scene that William saw with his own eyes after visiting this city, just like an ukiyo-e.
William is not very unfamiliar with this country, at least it is not the first time he has heard this name.
He had heard this name a long time ago.
In the neighboring Kingdom of Bucharest, I heard this term from the mouth of the old king Crozo Asklepios who ate white snake meat and could understand the language of animals. The Kingdom of Delgada was said to be established by a group of betrayers.
's kingdom.
There was a strong sense of hatred in the old king's words.
At the beginning, the old king wanted him to go to the snake house and pick three snake leaves for him. He said that his son was poisoned and needed these three snake leaves to survive. He lied to William and said that these three snake leaves were the holy medicine for antidote.
In fact, at that time, the old and aging king must have known that this was a magical herb that could bring the dead back to life.
William was stupid at the time and didn't think of this.
Who knew that two different fairy tales could be so involved.
Now I'm thinking about it, the old king's surname is Asclepius, which is the name of the legendary god of medicine. Is it possible that this royal family is really the descendant of the mythical god of medicine?
But at that time, the magic mirror didn't see anything unusual about this family?
For example, the family of Pan's attendants that William met first, although they were shepherds, they still had the power of the old god flowing in their blood and could sense the speech of animals.
William rejected the old king's request at that time, and the old king was not angry, but acted sincerely, as if he wanted to impress William with his sincerity.
When William chose to leave with the lucky guard, the old king gave them each a horse.
In fact, these two horses were spies trained by the old king. He thought William didn't know. In fact, William, who also ate white snake meat, how could he not know?
Just like the dog-licking guard, he found an excuse and killed the two horses to avoid being an eyesore.
The king had no eyes and ears since then. After William left, he wandered around the continent and never came back. He doesn't know what happened to him!
Looking back on the past, I really feel like I am suddenly separated from another world.

…
The place where the rich area and the poor area meet in Rogaland City, in the Tulip Tavern.
The tavern was bustling with people.
A group of men with some spare money were surrounding a man dressed as a bard, listening to him tell stories about what had happened on the mainland.
In this world where productivity is backward, many civilians may never leave the cities or villages where they live, so the singing of minstrels and the performances of vaudeville troupes are sought after by many people.
After all, in addition to satisfying their physical needs, human beings also need to satisfy their psychological needs.
The bard gently plucked the harp in his hand, and narrated the story in a low voice, and everyone around him was fascinated by it:
"In the distant hometown of Declan, black bears roamed in the jungle, butterflies danced on the tops of flowers, and kind people worked in the fields. Abna Adair, who was destined to be extraordinary, was born here."
"Abner is as wise as a prophet, and Adair is as strong as oak. He comes with the attention of the Holy Light, and he is born with God's blessing!"
"Diseases dare not approach him, danger always stays away from him, and he grows into a healthy young man!"
"The war comes suddenly, and death follows it with the howls of the poor people."
"The mission urged Abu Na'adair to leave! He joined the army of righteousness and faced the evil opponent!"
"Wisdom brings him victory, and he who is victorious leads an army of justice to the next victory!"
"..."
William, who deliberately had a thin beard on his lips and a red rose on his chest, sat in front of the stool in front of the bar in the tavern, turned his head and listened to the bard's story with interest.
"Outlander, are you very interested in the story of our new king?" Suddenly a voice appeared from beside William and said to William.
William then turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly came next to him. His whole body was covered with lush body hair, and his hair was like weeds. As soon as he got close, he smelled of fermentation.
William calmly took out the red rose on his chest, took a faint sniff of the flower fragrance, then looked at the uninvited man, his voice was hoarse and low, and he spoke slowly, "Ah, could it be me?
Do I have an extra eye than the people here? Why do you think I am an outsider?"
William used the standard language of the Kingdom of Delgada, a skill he learned in half a week. The additional skill brought by his strong mental power was the explosive growth of his memory.
If development continues at this rate, William will not have to worry about Alzheimer's disease when he lives to be seven or eight hundred years old.
"Hey, this is Rogalan. Rogalan doesn't have such beautiful skin as yours. You are as attractive as your flowers. It's not just women who are interested in you."
"Let me meet you, my name is Lei Luosi, and everyone here calls me Ya Lei! A person who helps some people solve small problems!" This hairy guy stretched out his black palm towards William.
William smiled softly, sniffed the red rose in his hand, and then said lightly, "Of course, there are dead people!"
"I'm not very pleased to meet you, but...my name is Vito, Vito Corleone!"
"Corleone? This surname is not common." Relos said casually, but in his heart he did not think of a nobleman with this surname.
William smiled and said nothing.
Relos frowned slightly and said boldly, "Outlander, you seem to be very cautious? Don't worry, this is the Tulip Tavern. No idle guy dares to cause trouble here, because anyone who dares to do so can only
Look for corpses in garbage dumps or underground rivers outside."
William knew that the underground river here was actually a small river outside the city. Because garbage was dumped all year round, the water in the river was black, so it was called the underground river.
He smiled faintly, "It took me a lifetime to learn to be careful. Women and children can be careless, but men can't!"
