"Yes!" Orson nodded. "I will take good care of Litt."

"You too, Litt. Don't rely too much on your brother Orson for everything. You are not young anymore. You should learn to be independent." Mary also warned Litt.

Of course, Orson was the only one who could hear the insincerity in Mary's words.

"Yeah!" Li Te nodded.

Orson quietly watched the interaction between Lit and Mary and sighed silently in his heart.

I just hope that Mary has really changed her mind and started to reconcile with Leeteuk.

After nearly a month of education, Lit is now much more confident. At least he is no longer as timid in front of his family and servants as before.

"It's almost time, we should set off." Orson looked at the sun and then said to Lucius. "Father, we should set off."

After saying this, he summoned a magic carpet and sat on it.

"Well, take care on your journey." Lucius said this and waved to Orson.

Then, Orson looked at Litt.

"Um, Lit, where's your flying carpet?"

"Um... Orson, can I, can I sit on the same blanket with you?"

"Of course you can..." Orson nodded, "Then you can sit on it."

"Okay." Litt said this and sat on Orson's blanket, and then his hands unconsciously wrapped around Orson's waist.

His face rested on Orson's back.

"Eh..." Orson was stunned. Litt's action reminded him of the time when he was riding a bicycle in his previous life, when the back seat would hold the waist of the person in front of him to prevent himself from sitting unstable.

"Orson... I'm afraid I can't sit steadily, no... is it not possible?" Litt asked timidly when he saw Orson turning his head to look at him.

"It's okay. It's okay. But you didn't behave like this when you were sitting before, Li Te..."

"Before...Before, I was curious, and my attention was drawn to other places... I, I am a little afraid of heights..."

"Okay." Orson nodded. In that case, just hold it.

Then he looked in the direction of Lucius and Mary and waved to them.

"Father, Mother, Li Te and I will leave first!"

"Well, take care on your journey." Lucius waved to the two of them.

Waved.

Mary, who was standing by, also waved at the two of them.

Then, the two of them took to the sky on a flying carpet.

Behind the Duke and Duchess, in the line of servants, Vivian looked at the two young masters rising into the air, her heart filled with reluctance.

I don’t know when I will see them next time.

The maid thought so in her heart.

……

On the flying carpet, Orson sat cross-legged, while Litt folded his legs and leaned against Orson.

Litt's arms were tightly around Orson, as if he was really afraid of falling.

"Leet, you can't be afraid of heights." Orson said after flying a distance. "When you use the flying carpet to travel by yourself in the future, you must ensure that you are focused. If you are afraid of heights and you relax your mind and can't maintain the magic carpet, it will be very dangerous."

"Yeah, I get it." Lit leaned against Orson and nodded. "Then just let Orson lead me all the time."

"You..." Orson didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I can't take care of you forever, right? Why do I feel like you're getting more and more spoiled as you get stronger?"

"It's all because of Orson," Litt said half-jokingly.

After leaving the family, without so many rules, Lit felt a lot more relaxed.

At least at home, when faced with greetings from servants, I always have to return the greetings, and when meeting my parents, I always get nervous and become speechless.

Only when facing Orson can I say that I can talk about almost anything.

Of course, except for the fact that I am a girl.

"Seeing that you are so happy, let me give you a heads up. There are rules to follow when you arrive in the imperial city, including when you enter the academy, which also has its own rules." Orson said.

"Huh?" Litt suddenly lost interest in the journey to the imperial city.

"What? Never mind. Let me introduce you to the rules of the academy first, so that you won't be clueless when you get to the academy and become a laughing stock..."

Having said that, Orson began to tell Litt about the various rules of the academy on the flying carpet, as well as his own experience as a student of the academy for a year, and shared it all with Litt.

When it was evening, Orson and Litt found a hotel in the transit city to rest for a while, and set off again early the next morning.

As time approached noon, Litt saw the magnificent city walls in the distance. It was a city that was several times larger than Antica, a city that existed only in the books and legends that Litt had seen.

The Imperial City - Saint Laurent City.

As the two got closer to Saint Laurent City, the miniature of the city became larger and larger in Litt's eyes until it could no longer fit in his field of vision.

At this time, the flying carpet the two were riding on slowly lowered its altitude.

"In the Imperial City, flying is prohibited without permission," Orson explained to Litt.

Then, the two stopped at the city gate.

After seeing the emblems on the two men's chests, the guards at the door respectfully made way for them.

"Orson, why don't they check our identities?" Litt asked puzzledly as he followed Orson into the imperial city.

"Only nobles can wear family crests. They are the guards of the imperial city, so they naturally have good eyesight. After seeing the family crest on our chests, they realized our identities and let us in."

"I see..." Lit nodded in understanding, and then asked: "Osen, Osen, there are so many nobles in the empire, is it possible that they can recognize the coat of arms of all the families?"

"Of course I can't recognize them all."

"Then tell me, is it possible that someone could make a fake coat of arms and pretend to be a noble to get in?"

"I haven't thought about this yet, but no one should have the guts to do that, right?" Orson said. "You know, in the Empire, pretending to be a noble is a capital crime."

"And if the blacksmith who helped to forge the fake noble coat of arms was caught, he would also be sentenced to a serious crime. So on the one hand, no one dared to do it. On the other hand, even if someone dared to do it, there would be no blacksmith to forge it for them."

"Oh~" Li Te suddenly realized.

Later, she saw that after entering the city, there were many carriages parked on the roadside, and many coachmen were providing services to people who had just entered the city.

"Orson, why are there so many coachmen here?"

"Didn't I say before that flying is prohibited without permission after entering the city? So many people want to go to certain places in a hurry and don't have a carriage, so this demand arises."

"With such demand, there is supply, so there are many coachmen here." After Orson answered so many questions for Litt, a coachman

The driver also walked towards them.

Chapter 32: There is only one double room left

"You two, are you in a hurry to get going?" The coachman said, looking at the two people flatteringly. "You two should be brother and sister, right? You can tell from the looks of it that you are from a wealthy family. My carriage is not only fast, but also stable. I guarantee that you won't feel any bumps when you sit on it."

"The Imperial City Road is so good. If your carriage could bump around, I would still be worried about my safety." Orson didn't buy it. Instead, he sneered and choked the coachman. "Besides, we are brothers. It seems that your vision is not that good."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. I was blind." Seeing Orson like this, the coachman hurriedly nodded and bowed to apologize.

Seeing that the coachman had a good attitude, Orson nodded.

"Okay, take us to the Xingchen Hotel, can you drop us off?"

"Uh...passenger carriages are not allowed to pass through the wealthy area over there, so I can only take you to the intersection..." The coachman looked troubled when he heard the name of the Star Inn.

"Okay, let's just take you to the intersection." Orson said and paid the money.

"Master, this price..." The coachman hesitated when he saw the money in his hand.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. I've walked this route many times, and the price I'm giving you is already a good price. If you want to rip you off, you can't rip me off like I do." Orson said this, showing the family emblem on his chest.

"What do you think? Do you want to run this trip or not? If you don't run, I'll find someone else."

"Hey, no, no, no, please get in the carriage..." Seeing that he had come to this difficult position, the coachman had no choice but to take the two men into his carriage.

……

After getting off the carriage, Litt looked at Orson with some confusion.

"Orson, just now, is it necessary to bargain with this kind of coachman? I saw that he was wearing rags, and I guess his family must be very short of money, so they asked for a higher price."

"Lite, you don't understand this." Orson pointed at the carriage that was going away.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the coachman is dressed in rags. Look at him, he is so strong and energetic, and he is so confident in his carriage."

"Do you think he looks like someone who is short of money?!"

"He dresses like this on purpose to win the money of young people like you who are inexperienced in the world."

"Ah!? Really?" Upon hearing this, Li Te became angry.

"Of course it's true." Orson nodded. "This kind of person makes a living by ripping off customers every day. He probably has hundreds of gold coins stored at home. You sympathize with him, but he takes advantage of you!"

"Ugh! Such people are so abominable!"

"Yeah, so Litt, you have to recognize this kind of people in the future." Orson said this, touched Litt's head, and then took Litt to the wealthy area.

The Xingchen Hotel where the two stayed was the hotel where Orson temporarily lived when he came to take the entrance test a year ago.

As you can tell from the name, both of them provide accommodation and catering services. Other stores are called inns, but this one is called a guesthouse, which is enough to reflect its high-end nature.

Xingchen Hotel is located in a wealthy area and is surrounded by complete commercial facilities. If you don’t like the food provided in the hotel, you can also eat at the surrounding restaurants.

In addition, because Xingchen Hotel specializes in serving nobles who temporarily stay in the imperial city, in order to let the nobles experience the feeling of being at home while away from home, all the furniture and facilities are the most luxurious furniture available on the market.

Under such circumstances, the price of the Xingchen Hotel is naturally not low. The cost of staying there for just one day is enough for an ordinary family's food and clothing expenses for several years.

"Hello." After entering the hotel, what comes into view is a beautiful elf receptionist.

It is not surprising to see people of all races in Saint Laurent City, because this is the largest city on the continent.

As a symbol of wisdom, agility and beauty, elves are very popular in the service industry, and the elf lady at the front desk is one of them.

As soon as Lit entered the hotel, he stared at Miss Elf.

It was not that he was surprised by the beauty of the elf lady, but that he had never seen her pair of pointed ears before, so he was very curious.

"Please book two single rooms for me until the day after tomorrow." Orson said this and took out a paper ticket.

This paper ticket is a consumption voucher circulated among the upper class.

The monetary system of this world is still an extremely abnormal system of gold, silver and copper coins. Gold coins are the currency with the highest unit price. Although they are basically not involved in the general consumption of ordinary people, the nobles will spend dozens or hundreds of gold coins at a time.

But in fact, nobles would not carry so many gold coins when they went out, so a

Paper tickets for circulation between people came into being.

The way to use paper notes is that the nobles first deposit a sum of money into the treasury protected by the state, and then the treasury will issue the nobles paper notes equal to the deposited funds, with 10 gold coins as the minimum unit, and there are denominations of 50 and 100 on it.

Because paper tickets are easy to carry, carrying a hundred of them will not feel heavy.

As for anti-counterfeiting, the banknotes are made by the great magician of the court, who injects magic power into each banknote and makes sure that the same rhythm is felt. If the rhythm is different, it proves that the banknote is counterfeit.

In the empire, if someone was found to have forged paper money, the penalty would be death, or even in serious cases, the entire family would be implicated.

Miss Elf glanced at the room table and then showed a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry, my two guests." The Elf lady said this and bowed to the two of them. "Due to the Imperial College entrance examination these days, many of our rooms have been booked a month in advance. Now there is only one double room left."

"I wonder if you two can accept it..."

"Um, how many beds are there in this double room?" Orson asked.

"Uh, a big bed..."

"Hmm..." Orson touched his chin and then looked at Lit. "Lit, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Litt was still staring at the elf lady's ears in a daze. When he saw Orson asking him a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uh, I can do anything..."

"Okay then." Orson nodded. "Then let's stay in a double room for three days. Oh, I should really book in advance next time. Your business is really good."

"Ahaha, we will actively improve based on your feedback..." Miss Elf said as she took out the room list. "Please register your information."
