Chapter 222 The New Chosen Apostle Joins
After visiting Squire's Gallows, Su Li went south along the Wallflower District and inspected the wealthy areas of the territory, including the single-family villas in the Wallflower District, the Hesse Opera House, the West Chamber of Commerce headquarters, the Emerald Bathhouse, etc.

After a purification journey to [Squire's Gallows], Su Li quickly confirmed one thing: this world has a clear class division.

The nobles are nobles, the rich are rich, the common people are common people, and the slaves are always slaves.

All these classes are clearly distinguished from each other, and there will be no blurred boundaries or possibility of confusion between them.

If a poor person in shabby clothes entered the wealthy area, they would not simply be met with surprised looks like in the Eastern world. Instead, they would immediately trigger the guards' vigilance and be surrounded by spears and swords. In the mildest case, they would be beaten, warned, and thrown out. In the worst case, they would be directly imprisoned and thrown into the city guards' dungeon.

What's the point of saying, "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all born of different races?" A beggar becoming emperor, a commoner becoming a commander-in-chief? That's impossible! Even if a commoner truly became wealthy and made a leap of social class through their own efforts, their first move would be to immediately move out of their original neighborhood and into a higher-class community.

All the social information about a person can be revealed from the community he lives in and the way he dresses.

A high-end company or a high-end job will not hire a low-level person from a working class community or a slum.

Similarly, if an employee with a high-level position lives in a community that does not belong to his class, he will soon be fired.

Therefore, Su Li didn't need to inspect the entire Black Forest Town. He only needed to inspect the intermediate and high-end communities. If the genius from the Royal Griffin Military Academy of Mordheim who came to Black Forest Territory really wanted to inspect Black Forest Town, he wouldn't enter the civilian areas at all. Instead, he would at least visit the middle-class areas of the city.

Su Li's understanding is undoubtedly in line with the situation in Heisen Town. The high-end community has the most upscale residences. The buildings and villas are located on large walled plots of land. Private soldiers patrol the streets to prevent hooligans from entering.

Among them are statues of Sharya standing in every street and garden, the nunnery of the Church of Dawn, and even the Hessen Territory's Museum of Merit, which records the glorious victories and spoils of the lords, knights, and knights in all the wars, as well as the border zoo with the colors of the border prince's territory.

Even the middle-class communities in the southwestern part of the territory have marble clock towers and tall towers along the streets.

It was filled with merchants, traders, and businessmen, including jewelers, embroiderers, arms dealers, grain merchants, bakers, furniture dealers, etc., and the number was extremely large.

At the same time, their community also has a small square, a Heraldry College, and a Griffin College, where middle-class children receive strict cultural knowledge and knight training education.

In order to ensure that they would not fall into lower social status, they adopted a harsh and demanding education for their children. A middle-class child basically had to get up at five o'clock to receive cultural education, and then maintain high-intensity physical training, and was not allowed to go to bed until ten o'clock in the evening.

In terms of education, they worked even harder than the aristocracy, because the aristocracy had already guaranteed hereditary succession, with the eldest son guaranteed to inherit the title of the territory, and the other heirs could still maintain the dignity of knights.

But the middle class has no way out, so happy education is impossible
Just maintaining such high-intensity training and learning is an enormous pressure that the lower-class civilians cannot bear at all.

Therefore, the lower class simply chooses to lie down. Happy education is not that they don’t want to learn, but that they don’t have the opportunity.

But going down from the middle class doesn't mean you're directly at the bottom. Beyond the middle-class neighborhood is Crankenfeld, which is in the middle of the Hesse class system, below the aristocratic district, the knight district, and even below the prosperous commercial district, but better than the working-class neighborhood.

This community was controlled by the Church of Sharya, and unlike the territory's magnificent hospital, it was an area where more people could receive treatment. The sick and wounded flocked to the area, convinced that even if they couldn't receive treatment, they could be healed by simply being near the temple.

At the same time, there is also the largest pharmacy in the territory. The predecessor of the pharmacy was the attic space of an old warehouse in the territory. The expansion of the Hesse Castle system in the north of the territory caused the territory materials previously stored here to be transferred out, so this place became a pharmacy store. The Shaurya sisters often patronize this store.

In addition, an orphanage was built here and run by Shaurya's followers.

There is also the Love Dove's Love Soup Restaurant here, which provides care for the civilians and people of all classes in the territory.

And a magpawn shop run by a polite, elegant halfling who keeps it tidy. But despite this, the shop is still a rather obvious wall.

It is obvious that everything about these buildings indicates that this is an important watershed in the territory, distinguishing the upper and lower classes of the territory and providing the last bit of dignity for those who are about to fall into the lower class.

It is worth mentioning that there are also brothels with the largest territories here, including the brothel and massage parlor invested by Su Li. There are three large brothels here, with more than 180 prostitutes engaged in compensated dating. There is no need to worry about whether so many brothels will compete with each other, or whether one brothel will have a booming business and a powerful siphon effect will snatch away all the customers.

In fact, brothels, taverns, and arenas are three essential items in all villages and towns in this world. The powerful bloodline ability greatly increases men's desire and strength.

The three brothels were packed and business was booming, so much so that the Halfling Consortium had begun filling them with Halfling women to satisfy the needs of some of the subjects with special interests.

After all, men also like to experience the feeling of being satisfied in one go.

Beyond the brothel district lies the East District, the lower-class district of Hesse, notorious for its criminals and rebels. Its slums constantly shift shape through cycles of fire and construction, not to mention the barricades erected by gangs and rebels. However, the eastern edge of the district is even more notable, as it contains Hesse's armory and the Dwarven Quarter.

This descending hierarchy signified that a normal human would never cross these clearly defined areas. Entering a dwarven community could easily cause disputes, unless the entrant had official documents and the lord's order.

Su Li heard that there was a famous Bosco Bone Casino in the poor area. Many people from all walks of life, mercenaries, and adventurers liked to gamble their spoils there. It was the most lively place in the territory, without a doubt.

Next to the casino is Schuld's Pawn Shop: Ralph Schuld runs his pawn shop here strictly. Potential sellers must swear to Siredma and Shaurya that their goods are not stolen. Items for sale are kept in locked boxes, and customers receive the keys after payment.

But it is obvious that Su Li's identity is not suitable for him to enter this lower city area. If he breaks in with a large group of knights, the people in the lower city area will not think that he is here to help them purify the environment. Instead, everyone will be as if they are facing a great enemy, thinking that their big crime has been exposed, and will fight to the death.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Su Li had no intention of entering it.

So after visiting the middle area, Su Li led his troops slowly back to Hesse Castle in the sunset.

The golden afterglow sprinkled on the knights' glittering golden armor, stretching everyone's figures out. On both sides of their tall figures, the marble bell tower was simple and solemn, and the bells rang melodiously. In the distance, the Bauhinia Palace, built on the mountainside, was magnificent and majestic, and its huge tower shone brightly in the sun.

After the cleaning of the Dust-Free Land, the streets in the town became clean and tidy, with lush trees on both sides of the road, and flowers and grass emitting a charming fragrance. Even the white shirts and black burqas of the pedestrians looked much brighter and more beautiful.

On the whole, the classes above the active civilians in the territory are very energetic and full of vitality.

Any outsider who enters this territory will easily come to the same conclusion, that this is a territory full of vitality and hope. As long as the lord is not so foolish, there will be great potential in the future!
As for what the lord looks like, the visitor needs to meet him in person to confirm.

Su Li planned everything very well, but until he returned to the territory, he did not see any talented and promising people come to see him.

When the golden afterglow filled the castle, Su Li walked to the bridgehead, removed the mythical dragon scale fragment from his waist, and handed it to Tiberus beside him. He said, "Find someone who is conscientious and meticulous, and lead the city guards to clean up the filth in the territory. Especially in the lower city. Don't treat them as if they were human. Although, they may not be human beings themselves. But at least clean up their living environment. If a plague breaks out in the lower city, the entire Hessen Town will be implicated."

After Tiberus took over the mythical dragon scale, his whole figure looked much more solemn and majestic. He stood there, and the champion-level aura behind him almost condensed into substance, making him look at least four meters tall. He held a sharp and huge rune battle axe in his hand, and with a shiny bald head, no one doubted that he was the chosen knight of God.

If someone who doesn't know the details takes a quick look, they might think he is the chosen one of the Sun Goddess.

Tiberus took the mythical material and complained, "Should I go there myself? The downtown area will be in chaos. I wonder how many fools will lose their limbs."

Su Li said indifferently, "You can convince other champion knights to go, but if this mythical material is not delivered to me before 11:00 pm, I will only hold you responsible."

Upon hearing this, Tiberus' whole body shuddered. Although the lord was usually easy-going and cheerful, and seemed approachable, the knights in the territory were extremely in awe of him.

Because when a person's reputation is at its peak, even without relying on external things, he can still be awe-inspiring without getting angry!
Especially since the lord is surrounded by a group of loyal knights. The number may not be very large, as many as 6 to 7, and as few as 2 to 3. At least Marshal Orstein and Steward Hilde are loyal to the lord without any distractions.

This is terrifying enough! When a monarch has two or three loyal warriors willing to die for him, he can rule over dozens of knights and hundreds of troops.

When a monarch has hundreds of loyal ministers, the foundation of his rule is almost unshakable.

When a monarch has thousands of loyal soldiers, his words are binding and no one dares to question them.

When a monarch has tens of thousands of loyal followers, he is in absolute power and reigns supreme, which means he can easily control hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of troops.

The entire empire would greet their emperor upon his arrival in his loyal land.

As far as the Hessian Territory is concerned, if anyone questions the lord's ruling authority, there will always be a knight who will stand up and kill the questioner with a single sword.

Therefore, Tiberus knew very well that if he really lost this mythical dragon scale, he would have no place in the territory, whether as a high-ranking attendant or in the army.

He knew even better that the Lanod believers in this world were bolder than leopards, and there was nothing they wouldn't dare to do. If he really took this dragon scale into the lower city, they would definitely steal it.

So he solemnly promised: "I will definitely use this dragon scale to cleanse the territory of those filthy creatures, and then return to the castle with the dragon scale intact."

Su Li nodded and was about to return to the castle. He had gained a lot of sexy and abusive things today and couldn't wait to start today's practice.

Today is another day of hard work, so I have to reward myself for my hard work.

He was about to cross the bridge when he heard a sudden commotion behind him, and the guards shouted at anyone approaching.

But it seemed that the newcomers were not afraid of the armed attendants' scolding at all. On the contrary, they shouted loudly: "You are about to die, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

Su Li turned around and saw a young man wearing a white scholar's robe and thick black-framed glasses. He was tall but not very strong. At least compared to Tiberus, he looked like a frail scholar.

The aura of Tiberus, who was holding the mythical dragon scale, was so powerful that he looked like a four-meter giant. His height alone was full of oppression. He strode over, wearing armor shining with golden light, like a steel wall that rumbled over to push down mountains and trees, and his tall shadow completely enveloped the young man.

The two of them were like a steel room, about to swallow up a little white rabbit.

Tiberus grabbed the man by the collar and shouted, "Who do you say is about to die? How dare you curse us! Believe it or not, with just a little force, your mouth will be completely torn apart! Do you want to experience the feeling of your mouth being torn apart, leaving only your teeth?"

"I'm actually very curious, do you still have the courage to speak without restraint when the time comes?"

Tiberius's threat was obviously not an exaggeration. With his powerful arm strength and unparalleled brutality, it would only take a little effort for him to tear the opponent's mouth.

But the young man remained calm. Even when he was grabbed by the collar, his feet half a meter off the ground, he didn't panic and frantically jump like an ordinary person. Instead, he stood calmly with his hands behind his back, looking at Tiberius calmly and saying, "Brutalism is not courage. I don't think you have the guts to kill a chosen one of the gods."

"And I'm not being blunt. I see your forehead is black and your lips are dark purple. This is a sign that you've been enveloped by the purple wind. You might die in the city tonight."

Seeing this, Tiberus couldn't help but touch his lips. Even a rough man like him knew that the purple wind was the wind of death. Could it be that Mor's messenger was really waiting for him?
Su Li was shocked by the young man's previous words. He looked him over carefully. He was wearing a white shirt, a double-breasted jacket, loose-fitting trousers with narrow legs, decorated with exquisite metal buckles and decorative ribbons, and a white scholar's robe over it. This was clearly not a southern attire. In other words, he was not a follower of the Fiery Sun Goddess.

But which god's followers would be so young? Although he was a little older than me, he couldn't be more than 26 years old.

He became the Chosen One at such a young age?
Her speed is as incredible as Violet's.

But Violet had the help of various opportunities and artifacts, which allowed her to sleep with Su Li countless times and try countless positions before she grew into the God-chosen Knight. She had real and extremely powerful hard power.

But this young man looked so frail.

The empire still has such a weak God-chosen apostle?
Su Li was slightly surprised for a moment, then waved to Tiberus and said, "Let him go and let him come over."

Tiberus loosened his collar mid-air, and the young man fell to the ground, stumbling. He stood up without anger, brushing the dust off his clothes. He straightened his collar, walked up to Su Li, and said, "Although the big man just now was burly and looked heroic, you are the Chosen One with true heroism. I see the favor of the gods in you."

Su Li had never imagined that he would one day be praised for his heroism. With a slight smile on his face, he scrutinized the young man and said, "You don't have the demeanor of a Chosen One at all. Wouldn't the gods behind you be enraged that you were being manipulated by a champion-level knight like this?"

The young man calmly replied, "Of course, not every deity is so rude and violent. The deity behind me is not known for being savage, but a beautiful woman of great learning."

Su Li was surprised. It turned out that there were gods in the empire who did not advocate the use of force?

However, considering that even prostitutes and thieves have gods who protect them, halflings have gods who protect their reproduction, and even gods of disease and plague exist, it is not impossible that there is a god that is not believed in by knights.

So Su Li calmed down, looked him up and down, and asked, "You should be from the Royal Griffin Military Academy in Mordheim, right?"

In fact, Su Li was already 90% sure that this was the talent he had been waiting for.

Otherwise, the daily intelligence system should have directly prompted that a chosen knight was about to join the territory.

Moreover, the knights would not pay attention to the cleanliness, hygiene, order, and security of the territory. After all, things like epidemics, thefts, and robberies would not happen to them.

The young man was slightly surprised when he heard this and said, "How did you tell that? Sure enough, the person favored by the Fiery Sun Goddess is not an ordinary person."

"Please allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Oliver Samuel Starchart, the Falcon's Eye. I graduated from the History and Documentation School of the Royal Griffin Military Academy of Mordheim. I am dedicated to studying the history and culture of the Empire, including ancient documents, myths and legends, and historical events. This academy allows students to study the Empire's origins, development, and various historical events, as well as how to understand the Empire's past through documents and historical records."

"There's a saying that history is a mirror that reveals the rise and fall of nations. The empire's 3000-year history is enough to help us understand the direction of all forces."

"I was guided by Verena, a learned deity, worshipped by humans as the god of scholars, bureaucrats, and justice. She is very popular in the Empire, as they have many administrative positions and a lot of paperwork."

Verena?
This was the first time Su Li had heard the name of this deity, so he said with great interest, "Can you introduce Her Majesty Verena to me?"

Oliver immediately straightened his chest with pride and explained in detail, "Verena is the goddess of knowledge, science, learning, wisdom, law, and justice. She is considered the embodiment of wisdom and justice and a key member of the Old World pantheon."

"In our teachings, Verena is usually depicted as a tall, beautiful woman with a solemn expression, sometimes wearing an eye patch, holding scales and a sword, symbolizing justice and wisdom."

"She has many titles, including Verena the Wisdom and the Goddess of Learning and Justice. Her followers include scholars, lawyers, judges, and some magicians. Her followers are very common in the Old World, especially in the South."

"Our teachings emphasize the importance of wisdom and justice, which believers generally believe are the foundation of human civilization, and these values ​​are spread through education and law."

"Our sect is an official organization, dedicated to the goddess of justice. While the Imperium and other nations of the Old World often face war, plague, and disaster, it is the rule of law and an orderly society that has enabled the Imperium and other nations not only to survive, but to thrive. Indeed, those who worship Ulric and Sigmar may be concerned with violence and war, but it is the philosophical teachings of justice espoused by the priests of Verena that have prevented the Imperium from sliding into complete tyranny."

A goddess of knowledge and justice believed in by scholars, bureaucrats, and judges?
No wonder Oliver looked so frail, a noble Chosen One being so easily manipulated by a champion knight. Fighting wasn't his main occupation.

However, Su Li quickly realized that this was his natural ally.
