Chapter 5: A Visit to Gray In this world, there are no instant communication tools such as mobile phones, and in most cases, people can only communicate remotely by communication.
Letters were generally delivered by caravans or caravanserais, which were only used by nobles or professionals.
Caravans, on the other hand, were responsible for the communication of civilians.
Although Zhao Yannian sent a letter to Victor before leaving, he did not specify the specific time of arrival.
So the group had to go to Xiacheng to find a hotel and charter it after entering the city.
Although the soul walker owned a lot of property in the royal capital, the two girls had no intention of leaving, but put on a posture of relying on Zhao Yannian and followed in.
The name of the inn is very distinctive, called copper wine glass.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce were raving about the inn's homemade ale after tasting it.
The functions of taverns and inns in this world have always overlapped, both sell alcohol and provide accommodation, but the inns are more formal and the accommodation is larger.
Taverns, on the other hand, are smaller in size and offer some meat and leather businesses such as the Wandering Warbler.
Since most of the people were satisfied, Zhao Yannian gave the innkeeper a seven-day deposit.
Seven days is enough time for Erica to find a place to open a chapter.
In order to settle the lives of dozens of people, Zhao Yannian followed Erica for a whole afternoon, and the next morning, Zhao Yannian got up early, washed up, and left the hotel with Luna in a gray robe representing a high-level alchemist.
Stopped a carriage and reported the address, and soon the coachman drove the carriage to the upper city where the mansion of the great nobles and the royal palace were located, the noble mansion of the Gray family was located on the outskirts of the upper city, and all the nobles who could have mansions in the upper part of the royal capital could be said to be the most important people in this world.
The Gray family was more of a small fortress than a noble mansion.
Not only was the towering stone wall built, but the gate did not use a garden-style iron fence gate like other nobles, but used two huge iron gates 6 meters high, and the huge copper door knocker was hung on the door, Zhao Yannian stretched out his hand and tried to grab it, it was very heavy, and people with insufficient strength could not knock on it at all.
Zhao Yannian stepped back, Luna stepped forward, and the fighting spirit of the high-level warrior was already able to release from the surface of his body.
Luna grinning her hands grabbed the knocker with a hint of coldness, pulled it up sharply, and then snapped it down.
Airplanes!
Soon, a waiter led the two into this ancient mansion with a history of 2,000 years.
Whether it is the oil paintings on the wall or the various armor and weapons placed in the corridors along the way, Zhao Yannian feels the glorious and long history of this family.
"This picture of the Wrath of the King is the scene when the thirteenth head of the family followed the king against the orcs, and a mage who loved painting recorded the scene after his victory, and later when the descendants of this lord married into the Gray family, this painting was brought as one of the dowry, and it has been hanging here ever since."
The waiter explained to Zhao Yannian the origin of some furnishings as he walked.
Whenever Zhao Yannian expressed interest in some collections, the waiter would explain them in detail.
In this way, I stopped and stopped for nearly 10 minutes, passed through several courtyard gardens, and then came to a small building with a tough style and no decoration.
The butler, who had been waiting at the door, said to the two, "Come in, two of you, the Duke has heard that you have arrived, and he is eager to meet you." ” It is normal to come to a friend's house to meet his parents, and if Zhao Yannian wants to get a good fief from the Supreme Council, he needs as many forces as possible to be kind to him.
His Majesty still has great prestige and prestige in this world, but over time this position has been much diminished in power.
The canonization of noble fiefs was no longer a matter of His Majesty's word, but was decided by a joint vote of the thirteen members of the Supreme Council.
This is composed of the thirteen councillors who have the six supreme powers of the Inner Realm, and the six fiefdom dukes of the Outer Realm plus His Majesty the King.
Now the person in front of Zhao Yannian is the supreme spiritual leader of the knight class of the kingdom, and the paladin Derek Gray is known as the legendary powerhouse of the Duke of Fury.
He is one of the six members of the Supreme Council.
The middle-aged man was dignified, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an angular face and a trace of short blond hair, sitting there like a boulder, unmoving.
When people see it, they will unconsciously be respectful.
Down.
Zhao Yannian felt a little overjoyed, to be able to get the guidance and appreciation of a legendary powerhouse, Luna can be said to have received a pass to become the top powerhouse.
"Don't be so polite, you saved the life of my unsuccessful son, I don't know how to repay you."
Luna's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this, but she didn't say much, just nodded to the duke.
After saying some unnutritious words, Zhao Yannian said goodbye to Luna and left Gray's house, and before leaving, Zhao Yannian left his current address for the housekeeper, believing that Vicna would come to him soon.
When she returned to the Copperglass Hotel, Erica had just had breakfast.
Da Wuzun and Emilyada were gone.
Seeing Zhao Yannian and Luna returning, Erica dragged the two of them together to find a suitable store.
The trio summoned a carriage and, at the suggestion of the coachman, first went to the merchant guild in the downtown business district.
These business guilds are not official organizations, but are united by merchants to discuss the distribution of markets.
Zhao Yannian showed his status as a baron, and easily met the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Baron, unfortunately we do not have a bunk here that meets your requirements.
Only a few small grocery stores have recently closed down and are being sold.
However, it is too far from the three floors you requested, and you can receive hundreds of people at the same time, so I can't do anything about it.
Sorry, sorry.
The fat-headed and big-eared Chamber of Commerce president wiped the sweat on his head with his fat hand full of gemstone rings, and explained to Zhao Yannian apologetically.
"In that case, we'll have to take our leave."
With a sigh, Zhao Yannian left the Business Guild with Erica Luna.
Instead of renting a carriage, the three of them strolled down the street.
"What!
That guy was obviously lying, and when I entered the city yesterday, I saw that at least 10% of the shops in the royal capital were now for sale.
The rebellion had only been over for half a year, and it was so easy to recover there.
Erica had already seen that the business president was lying, but she didn't expose it on the spot.
"I don't know why this president would deceive a nobleman, but since the other party has the guts, he must rely on it.
So we still have to investigate the situation first. ” "You're right, okay, let's not think about it yet, let's go shopping first."
Erica shook her head, as if trying to shake the irritability out of her head.
Zhao Yannian and Luna, who were carathed by Eli, soon disappeared into the crowded streets.
At this time, the president of the Chamber of Commerce was arguing fiercely with a young man dressed in noble clothes.
"We can't go on like this, if we continue to follow that person, sooner or later we will die without a body."
The business president looked very excited.
"Rest easy, this is the last thing he needs you to do, and when this is over, no one will know about your relationship with him."
The young man looked down at the rose in his hand and said like a dream.
