It was difficult for a team of more than 200 people to enter a town without attracting attention. From the moment they entered the settlement, their team had been the focus of attention from all around.
There were constant reminders of being watched in the field of vision, but fortunately there was no threat, rather a state of well-being.
"Does Mr. Ross know this place?" Sean asked, looking at the town around him.
"It should be a small town in the Oro region."
Just when I was about to complain about the other person, he continued.
"Let me think. We walked along the avenue all the way from the direction of Koga City. I remember there were several small towns called Shanggu Town. I remember seeing them on the map." Ross said after thinking for a while.
Even the scholars of the empire could not have traveled to all parts of the country, so being able to memorize the map was already a good thing.
"Oh, so are there any rumors in this area?" Sean continued to ask.
"Rumors. What do you mean, Lord Earl? I haven't heard of any rumors or major events in this area. On the contrary, the people here have lived happily over the past decade or so. Look at their smiles. I rarely see so many smiling residents in the imperial capital." Ross looked around.
indeed.
Sean had never seen a place that had such a good first impression.
Everyone had a satisfied smile on their face when they saw him, and a peaceful state was always on their heads.
This is a bit strange.
Can the people of one region really be so happy?
Sean has met many people, whether they are from small towns or big cities like Lietis. Everyone has a temper. However, the people in this small town seem very happy, which is a bit incredible.
"Aslant, have you heard of this place before?" he asked the commander of the troops on the other side.
"I've never been here, but this town feels pretty good. Everyone has a smile on their face." Looking around, there was a girl holding a vegetable basket on the side of the road, smiling at him.
Sean noticed that the wild vegetables in the other person's basket were already dead.
That is, the kind that has been placed for a long time and has completely lost its moisture. Looking at the layout of the town, it is much more prosperous than my own Thelmian town. Not only does it cover a large area, but the architectural decoration is also very stylish.
Passing by a butcher shop
A conversation between two buyers and sellers.
"Old man, do you have any bacon today?"
"Oh, you should have come earlier. Everything has been bought. I was planning to check the cellar, but it's gotten moldy after not being there for so long. I might need to deal with it."
"Hahaha, it's okay. I'll come back tomorrow."
Watching the male guest leave with a smile.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would have been hard for Sean to believe that he could have such a happy smile even though he couldn't buy anything.
"Does the lord have any ideas?" Ross also noticed the change in Sean's expression at this time.
"Nothing, I just envy the customs of the people here."
"The people here are very nice. I've never seen a place so full of kindness that needs to be recorded." Ross was thinking about recording it.
It's not just about the simple folk customs, it feels like a paradise
But Sean still felt something was strange. It wasn't too late yet. In other towns or cities, the afternoon would be the busiest time of year, with people cooking and taking walks after meals, but none of that was happening.
In addition, Sean also noticed that the people in the town were always sleepy even though it was daytime, and there was something that seemed to be in every house.
Outside each store, there was a circular pendant made of twisted branches. It didn't look magical or anything else, but every store had one, which puzzled Sean.
The team originally wanted to find a few hotels in the town to arrange accommodation. If one hotel was not enough, they would find a few more so that they could rest for a day and then continue their journey tomorrow.
However, after Sean arrived here, the ruler of Shanggu Town seemed to have received the news. He sent people to all the hotels in the town to arrange accommodation, and also invited Sean and Ross to his home for dinner.
It can be considered as fulfilling the duties of a good host. In the future, he will be a great noble in the Oro region, so of course he has to curry favor with these small nobles. So Sean still went, and brought Aslant with him in addition to Ross.
The manager of Shanggu Town is Baron Mileand, a middle-aged man who looks to be about 40 years old. He is a little fat but his speech is very elegant. Sean even has the illusion that the other party does not seem to take his title seriously at all, or in other words, both his and his titles are nothing in front of him.
People who are very Buddhist seem to be able to understand some truths if they look into it carefully.
For example, at the dinner table, the other party often talked about the policies of various countries, and was able to point out some of the advantages of the Bashalan Empire. Of course, this was mainly because I had heard Ross's introduction as the historian of the empire, and he was very good at talking about national policies.
Perhaps Ross and Ascalante didn't realize this, but it was easy for Sean.
"In fact, I have always felt that our country's geographical location limits many things. Otherwise, with the Bashalan Empire's abundant financial resources and large population, it should be able to do more. I gave the order at that time..."
Baron Mileand suddenly stopped talking here.
A state appeared above the head.
Order
You heard it right, a small baron actually spoke like a king.
"It's already difficult to keep the country running. The most important thing for us is to manage our local people and their lives. The rest can be left to the top leaders of the empire."
