Master and his butler Mr.

After a group of people entered the city, their hearts calmed down a little.

"What happened? Who were those people?" Hernandez asked.

"There was a famine in the province of Nange," Mr. Fei Meng was furious. "It wasn't such a serious matter in previous years! What do these idiots think? Without the so-called untouchables in their mouths, those noble gentlemen have to rely on Who will feed?"

"Is there no disaster relief?" Luo asked in surprise.

"About a few copper coins were given," Fermont said contemptuously, "but most of the money was spent on the army and holding balls for noble gentlemen, and there is still a few coins left."

"That's it...let those people outside..." Hernandez didn't know what to say.

"Perhaps those gentlemen feel that it is the greatest mercy not to kill them all. Anyway, these poor people don't even have the ability to rebel." Fermont shook his head.

The situation in the city is better, and maybe those who can’t survive have already been driven away. The whole street is empty, and most of the shops are locked, only occasionally one or two doors are opened.

When they came to the city lord's mansion, they heard that the original city lord had gone to the capital with his family long ago, and now the military and political chief here is actually in charge of Cantor City.

The City Lord's Mansion is probably the busiest place here. Many young officers come and go, as well as their families and children. There are even small-scale social dances and banquets here. Although the food is not very rich, there is wine , white bread, pies and veal steaks, young men and women were talking and laughing loudly, and laughter spread slowly from the banquet hall.

Hernandez and the others also accepted the invitation to the banquet. At first they thought it was something more serious, such as disaster relief and donations, but seeing those people drinking and laughing, looking carefree, even Mr. Housekeeper couldn't see it. Going down: "What a wonderful irony."

Probably these gentlemen feel that force is enough to solve the problem, and they don't want to spend any more energy.

They quickly left the banquet hall, but they could only return to the room listlessly.

In the room of the city lord's mansion, Hernandez was nestled on the sofa. He couldn't help biting the nails on his hands, and from time to time angrily chopped the carpet with his feet, but felt that he was even weaker and weaker: "Looking at these Man, I feel ashamed."

Mr. Butler is always so calm: "Young master, don't think too much, you can't change anything."

Mr. Steward's black hair was never messed up, his eyes were deep and calm, and he was probably a little angry, but these emotions were perfectly covered up by him.

"Why do you always keep calm?" Hernandez was puzzled.

"I've seen it a lot, so I don't think it's strange," said the housekeeper. "Those elegant and flirtatious ditties may be their own funeral songs, but maybe it will take some time."

"Those people outside the city can't wait so long." Hernandez said angrily.

Mr. Butler just shook his head.

Now the outside of the city is in chaos. The caravan was lucky before, and they only encountered unarmed refugees. It is said that there are mobs outside now. They are stronger and have a small amount of weapons. Although they dare not attack the army, they are very harmful to the caravan. big threat.

"It is said that the army from the royal capital is about to come over to clear up the mob." This is the latest news Hernandez has heard.

Mr. Fermont also had a noble title, and he and Luo also lived in the city lord's mansion, while the rest of the caravan were housed in a nearby hotel.

"The army from the royal capital will arrive the day after tomorrow, led by Marshal Jurgen, and we will leave behind them when the time comes," Fermon said.

Finally being able to leave, everyone felt a little more relaxed.

"Has the crisis outside the city been resolved?" Hernandez asked.

Mr. Butler just shook his head, unwilling to say anything more.

On the day of leaving, it happened to rain, and the air smelled of fresh earth and a faint smell of rust.

Hernandez looked at the distant field with some melancholy, as if he vaguely understood something, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving Nango Province, the situation was a little better. Although the civilians on the side of the road were still dressed in rags, at least they did not have that deadly and numb atmosphere.

"This is a grain-producing area. Although it is also affected by the drought, the situation is much better." Luo said.

The next city they came to was Ralston. As soon as they entered the city, they felt a lively and busy atmosphere. After inquiring, they found out that the great nobles here were moving collectively.

"Our master is moving to the capital, and he doesn't plan to come back there." A servant of the Earl's Mansion said proudly, "His Majesty the King gave the Earl a large manor, next to the royal hunting ground. It is said that it is the favorite pastime of princes and princesses."

The better shops here are almost all sold out. Gentlemen and ladies are discussing the styles of hats and long skirts that are popular in the capital, researching which single man has the highest social status and which young lady has the richest dowry after entering the social season.

"The air in the royal capital is simply intoxicating!" A young jazz lady happily picked furs from Mr. Fermont, "It's just too dark and cold, but it's okay during the dance. Someone always invites me to dance, and I will steal it if I want to rest It’s not free, but not when I’m out, I’m always nervous about not having a warm fur coat.”

"Would you like to take a look at these gems again? They are all authentic mountain products. They will make you more dazzling at the ball." Mr. Fei Meng recommended with a smile.

Madam Jazz took a critical look: "These materials don't look bad, but the inlays are a bit poor, and the polishing is not refined enough."

"The artisans in the mountains are naturally inferior to the masters in the capital," Feimeng agreed. "I still have some rough stones here. Although they look inconspicuous, they are all real gem mines. You can polish them in the capital to your liking. style and absolutely unique.”

"This sounds very interesting," the lady nodded, and bought another small basket of rough stones without blinking.

If it wasn't for Mr. Fermont's restraint intentionally, all his goods might be emptied here: "The price in the royal capital is definitely higher, but there are also some interesting goods that can be purchased here, and constantly updating the inventory always makes people happy. "

Mr. Steward's furs are still not sold.

When they entered the city, it was bustling and chaotic, and it was still the same when they left. It is not easy for these noble gentlemen to travel far away in peacetime, let alone move to the capital.

The efficiency of the caravan is definitely much higher. While those noble lords and ladies were still dawdling, they had already entered the hinterland of the kingdom, the Panomers Plain.

This is the most affluent place in the kingdom, even the common people are well-dressed and polite, the young people look vigorous, and even the old people look healthier and wiser.

If it wasn't for his previous experience, Hernandez felt that he would like it here.
