Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 145 The gradually bustling city of Pompeii (third update)

Autumn is gradually passing away, and winter is coming quietly.

When winter is about to arrive, the hot Pompeii gradually cools down.

In the north of the endless deep forest and in the south of Pompeii, stretches of farmland have been developed, dotted with villages from time to time, and a city stands tall in the north.

The circular city wall is very tall and thick, and every other section of the city wall stands an arrow tower, silently announcing that this is a defensive fortress.

The two clay golems on both sides of the four city gates added infinite persuasive power to the defense 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 City, the main city of the Marquis of Parker, and among the recent visitors, the people of the Marquis of 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 Marquess of Park.

Then came the middle class, and some left the territory.

Most of those who came to Pompeii were for the low housing prices in Pompeii, and there were many jobs advertised in Pompeii.

David came here because of the low housing prices. He planned to sell the house in Sparta and buy a small house in the countryside.

Anyway, in David's opinion, a house is just enough to live in.

Sell ​​the house in Sparta City, where the price is relatively high, and buy a house with a low price in the countryside. The money you save can make your life more comfortable.

This is a good thing.

Of course, the most important thing is that David also thinks that the Marquis Parker is really terrible. Living in this Marquis, the days are gradually depressing, and David can't stand the atmosphere.

As for work, David is not afraid either.

He himself is a chef and runs a small restaurant in the civilian area of ​​Sparta.In David's view, since Pompey's family is going to build a new city, they can open a small restaurant without worrying about losing business.

However, David still has doubts. The most important thing is whether the Pompeii family is really as powerful as they say, and can guarantee the safety of the city.

So David came to investigate this time, not to settle down.Those who came with David and several friends, like David, had the intention of living in Pompeii.

A group of people came in a flatbed carriage, and the coachman who drove the carriage was also a group, and even the fare was saved.

"This road is well repaired, big and flat." David wrapped his clothes. Because his family was not rich, his clothes were a little thin in winter, but David was used to it and could bear it. live.

He looked curiously at the deep forest avenue outside the car, and praised.

"I heard that the roads in Pompeii are big and smooth. The acting lord and the next generation of Pompeii knights are known as "the benevolent". Feeling like, like, you can't just take a shit on the road."

A friend of David replied.

"It's a good rule not to poop casually. When I'm on the road, I feel disgusted when I see human excrement and livestock excrement on the side of the road. If it's in summer, it's even more disgusting. Flies and mosquitoes are flying around."

David's eyes lit up.

As a chef, David is more than average about being clean and tidy.He fell in love with the rule as soon as he heard it.

"These are actually not important, what is important is the defense of the city. This is an endless deep forest, full of monsters and even giant dragons everywhere."

Another friend said.

"That's true." David nodded. This is the most tangled question for everyone, and it is also the meaning of this journey.

Survey.

After walking the deep forest road, the group finally arrived at Pompeii.The purpose of entering is a large farmland. Because of the season, the farmland is bare and no crops grow.

In the distance, a towering city can be seen.

Seeing the towering city in the distance, the group gradually became excited, full of anticipation.And 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.

"My God, how much did it cost to make those two statues?"

One of David's friends let out an exclamation.

"I don't know, I think this thing may not be an ordinary statue, but a wizard's creation." David's other friend is well-informed.

"Wizard creation?" David and his group knew each other face to face.

"You are right. These two golems are indeed created by wizards. They are called "clay golems". They are the spoils obtained by the lord after he wiped out the Autumn Wind Thieves. As long as they are driven by wizards, their strength can exceed junior knights. It can effectively resist monsters."

A group of guards stood on both sides of the city gate at the same time, and one of the guards said in a tone full of pride.

"A golem that exceeds the power of a junior knight?" David swallowed. If it was a shock just now, there is a little fear in the shock now.

It always feels like these two golems will draw out their swords at any time.

terrible.

But a feeling of peace of mind.

A magical creation.

"Master guard, we would like to know about the housing prices in Pompeii, what should we do?" David got out of the carriage and asked the guard respectfully.

"Go straight from here and you can see Pompeii Castle. There is a city hall next to the castle. Just go to the city hall and inquire about the situation."

The guard pointed.

In fact, this guard was specially selected. He was a kind-faced and eloquent person, specially to deal with this situation.

Because the number of visitors to Pompeii has gradually increased recently, Luther made this preparation.

After being instructed by the guards, David and his party entered the city.The first thing they see is the military installation on the right.

There are row houses, playgrounds and other facilities, and many armed guards can be seen. The guards are currently training. David and his party don't understand military affairs, but their intuition tells them that the training of these guards is very hard.

The huge city wall, the clay golem standing tall, and after entering the city, there are a large number of guards who are training.

David's investigation has just begun, but there is already a tendency in their hearts.

What an emerging city, it gave them a sense of security.

When David and his party arrived at the city hall, enthusiastic officials received them and told them in detail about the current housing prices in Pompeii.

This made David and his party flattered again.

They are people from the city of Sparta. No matter what kind of a bird Marquis Parker is, his officials will say what kind of a bird he is, not to mention greedy and cruel, and he is even more arrogant and unreasonable to the common people.

But now that they come to Pompeii, the official attitude they feel is hospitality.

"As expected of the city under the command of the lord of Pompeii, who is known as the benevolent, the officials are so kind. It is safe and reliable, and the officials are also very friendly. I think this is the ideal living environment." David thought happily in his heart.
