"Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Charles. You can call me Viscount Charles or just Charles."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. The young Viscount Charles in front of him looked like a nice person, although his original intention was to meet the mayor of Amman City directly.
But since I have such a good chance to meet this Viscount, and we can communicate more, it’s no big deal.
"My name is Lu Yun."
"Zhao Yueyao."
"Well, well, my two guests from the East, I love making friends. I think you and I are destined to be together. Why don't you stay at my house? I'd love to hear about what's happened to you."
"I can't figure out where the Eastern Continent is. I'd also like to know how you got here, since you said it's so far away."
"Okay." Lu Yun did not refuse. He thought it was no big problem. He felt that this man would not harm him. Even if he really wanted to harm him, he could easily solve the problem.
Anyway, I had just arrived in the Holy Empire, in a city, and was lucky enough to make friends with a viscount.
In this way, they entered the city and could see that the city had a relatively large facade, filled with all kinds of houses.
It can be seen that most of the houses where these civilians live are two or three stories high, made of stones and wood.
This is a huge difference from their Eastern counterparts.
That is, in the territory of the Han Empire, most of the houses where ordinary people lived were made of wood, and those with two or three floors were only those of restaurants.
Most people only have a small courtyard, and ordinary people can never see pavilions and towers.
Of course, only the rich here can use marble to build materials.
"How is it? Our city is pretty good, isn't it?"
"The reason these civilians in the city built two- or three-story houses is mainly because as long as we are a city, we can attract many people outside the city to come and live there."
"And these houses can also make money and pay them rent."
Lu Yun was thoughtful at this moment. He didn't expect that there were already houses for rent in the city-state of their Holy Empire. They were really evil vampires.
I didn’t expect that they have developed the economy so well, and they also know how to make money from ordinary people, and can even use houses to make money.
This is indeed something they in the East have never had.
"Well enough."
Charles asked excitedly, "Oh my God, you don't know how surprised I was the first time I saw you two. I didn't expect there were different races in this world."
"You said you were from the East. I felt very excited."
"Tell me quickly, what is your East like?"
The three of them walked together on the street. There were many merchants and a lot of goods, most of which were placed directly on the ground for sale.
Lu Yun glanced at him doubtfully and said weakly, "Viscount Charles, I'm almost starving. Can you let me have a meal first?"
"I'll tell you slowly after I finish my meal. Don't be so anxious."
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot. After all, you are guests. I still have to entertain you two guests from the East well."
"Hahaha, guests from the East are really rare."
“…”
City Lord's Mansion.
The mayor of Amman City was a fat man who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had several slaves around him to take care of him.
At this time, the chief steward under his command hurried over and said, "Lord City Lord, there is a piece of news that you will definitely be very interested in."
"What?"
"Well, two mysterious people from the East have come to our city-state."
"They claim to be from the East. We don't know what this East is. We heard it's very far away. The clothes and appearance of these two people are completely different from ours."
"Really?" This was indeed a very rare thing for the city lord.
City Lord Rossed was stunned for a moment. "Is it so strange? Could it be that besides our Holy Empire, there are other empires or continents?"
"Okay, okay, where did these two go?"
"That... was taken away by Viscount Charles. He was very curious about these two Orientals."
"Damn it! Charles actually took these two people away! People coming from the East should first meet with me, the city lord."
"The Charles family is going too far."
"Lord City Lord, do you want us to send someone directly to bring these two people back?"
"Go! I must go. I want to let this Charles know that I am the city lord and he is nothing."
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you inherited the viscount title."
“…”
At Charles's house.
You can see that this mansion is very huge and covers a large area.
Their houses are very different from those of ordinary people. They are all made of marble. More importantly, their houses look more gorgeous.
Not only does it cover a large area, but there are also many slaves in their mansion. What is important here is hard work, which means people can be bought and sold directly.
These slaves have no human rights. As long as the price is paid, they can be taken away.
It’s different from their place in the East. They have maids and servants.
However, these maids have the most basic human rights and can get corresponding compensation, but there is absolutely none here. It is good enough to be able to give them a bite to eat.
"How is it? Is our house big?"
"It's really extravagant. It seems that you nobles are really rich and powerful. You can do whatever you want. With such a large mansion, there are so many people working hard for you."
"I'm really curious about how you became a viscount at such a young age."
Although Lu Yun was not sure what the title was like here, it was definitely not easy to become a viscount.
Viscount Charles quickly explained, "Well... I don't know what to tell you."
"In fact, it's because our Charles family is already quite powerful, but we've become increasingly cowardly. I inherited my title from my father."
"My father died when I was young, so I inherited his title very early. As a viscount, I am the youngest in the entire Holy Empire."
Lu Yun was thoughtful when he heard this. It seemed that this was a rich second-generation. His ancestors had a title, and he inherited it directly.
However, this title certainly does not have any power. It is just a name. Others will give him some face, and his family is relatively wealthy.
"I see...you're quite lucky."
