Chapter 24: Gloucester City, Encounter with Ellie



Tang Ziheng raised his eyebrows slightly... "God" has mercy on mankind... The system even considerately put the word "world" in brackets. In other words, this so-called god is actually an existence like this world consciousness?

Have mercy on humans...Maybe humans are the only native creatures left in this world?

"God" is powerless...pain and disaster come...you ellipsis! You've finished writing! Tang Ziheng seemed to feel the power of the legendary web writer who was stabbed.

However, judging from the current situation, Tang Ziheng wondered if it might be an invasion from another world? Or maybe it was some kind of dimensional collision or something like that... Never mind, I don’t want to think about it. My system is not the savior anyway.

Just an ordinary, mediocre system producer.

The system has given it to you, "God", let the "protagonist" and "child of destiny" save the world!

Tang Ziheng shook his head. In the doomsday world, Lin Ze had gone to eat and sleep, so there was no need to worry about him for the time being.

There's nothing interesting to watch in the world of sword spirits, just the trivialities of life...

Normanya continent.

Clarissa came to the capital of the Gloucester Empire: Gloucester City.

Compared to the city of Mance where Clarissa was before.

Gloucester, the capital, is at least three or four times larger than Mance in terms of area!

The prosperity and bustle inside are incomparable to the city of Mans.

When Clarissa entered the city of Gloucester, the soldiers at the city gate stopped her and prepared to question her and make a record.

After all, he is a chain repairer and carries a knight's sword.

Especially when they saw that she was a member of the Vanguard Army, the soldiers saluted her and let her pass.

"Thank you!" Clarissa nodded slightly and walked in.

Clarissa was like someone who had never seen the world. After she entered, her head turned everywhere and her eyes looked around.

Compared with Gloucester, Mance is a country town.

Clarissa was walking on the street. Most of the people walking on the street were well dressed. From this, it can be seen that people here live a good life.

Clarissa doesn't even see the existence of the "poor".

No matter how poorly they dress, they look about the same as the "well-off" people in Mans City.

"Clarissa?" Suddenly, a girl's voice sounded in Clarissa's ears.

"Eh?!" Clarissa was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look. Who would know her here?

"You are... Ellie!?" Clarissa looked at the girl, who was wearing uniform and had a knight's sword hanging around her waist.

Isn't this the girl from the "Mercenary Group" before!

"It's really you! You've come to the imperial capital!" Ellie walked up in surprise.

"Yeah!" Clarissa nodded.

"Where did you go after that?" Ellie asked curiously, and then patted her head with an "ouch!" sound: "This is not the place to talk, let's go! Once you come here, you are a guest! I will take you to experience the different places of the imperial capital!"

Ellie enthusiastically took Clarissa's hand and left.

"Let's go to the North Wind Restaurant! It's the most famous and largest restaurant in the entire imperial capital. I heard that it's controlled by the royal family." Ellie blabbered to Clarissa.

"How many guests are there?" As soon as we entered Beifeng Restaurant, a waiter came over.

"Please find me a quiet seat, please!" Ellie said to the waiter with familiarity.

"No problem! There's a table upstairs!" The waiter took us upstairs.

Clarissa looked at the North Wind Restaurant. Just as Ellie had said, it was indeed very large and luxuriously decorated, but not the kind of luxury that only nouveau riche people could have. It was of the highest class.

It's not noisy here. Although there are many customers, the distance between each table is large, and there are some decorations and screens.

At the same time, the guests here speak in normal voices and do not seem noisy.

Although it was not meal time, at least one-third of the seats in the restaurant were occupied.

Although it is a restaurant, it can actually be a pub, and it has two floors, both of which are quite large.

"The people here are either rich or noble, and most of them are people of some status." Ellie whispered to Clarissa.

Clarissa nodded, she could see that it was either a chain repairer or someone dressed elegantly.

"You two guests, please sit here!" The waiter took Ellie and Clarissa to the window on the second floor.

"Thank you! Give me two afternoon tea sets." Ellie sat down and said to the waiter.

"Okay!" The waiter nodded and left.

"Sister Lisa, let me tell you, the afternoon tea here is delicious! It's one of the best in the capital! I often come here in the afternoon to have a bite! Especially the desserts!" Ellie said happily to Clarissa.

"Well! I'm looking forward to it!" Clarissa said with a smile.

At the same time, I also guessed that Ellie's identity must be either rich or noble.

Although Clarissa didn't see the menu, she knew the cost here must be quite high. Plus, Ellie is a student at the Imperial Academy...which is not a low status.

"By the way, where are your partners?" Clarissa asked the other two boys.

Ellie blinked: "Are you talking about Jack and Kos?

They! I'm going to fix my chain, the exam is coming soon! There's an exam the day after tomorrow. Would Sister Clarissa like to go and observe? "Ellie said this and asked Clarissa casually.

"Sure! But I'll need you to take me there! I don't know the way." Clarissa nodded with a smile. She didn't have any goals anyway, so it would be nice to go with them and see the world.

"Yeah! Sister Lisa, have you found a place to live?" Ellie asked.

"Not yet. I just arrived in the imperial capital today." Clarissa said, shaking her head slightly.

"That's great!" Ellie said happily, then she felt that it was not right to say that: "I mean, Sister Lisa, you can come live with me!"

"Don't bother me?" Clarissa was stunned when she heard what Ellie said.

"Don't bother me! It's just me, with a few servants or something, it won't be a problem!" Ellie waved her hand and said, "That house is my own! Well... it's not that big, probably only about 400 to 500 yards~ Sister Lisa can stay here as long as you want! There are too many vacant rooms!"

(1 yard\u003d0.9144 meters)

emmm...Clarissa suspects that Ellie is pretending, and she already has evidence! Are you so charming to me when we just met?

"Okay, then I'll bother you!" Clarissa said with a smile and accepted the invitation to stay at Ellie's house.

"Great!" Ellie was very happy to hear that Clarissa agreed: "Sister Lisa, I've been so bored! No one is with me, it would be great if Sister Lisa could come and live with me!"

"Don't you have Jack and Cos? And you don't have any other friends? That's unlikely, right?" Clarissa looked at Ellie with some confusion.

"Oh! To be honest, my family is a knight family, and it's pretty well-known in the imperial capital. And, I have a pretty good talent... Most of the people I come into contact with on a daily basis have their own purposes. Although I know a lot of people, none of them can be considered my friends. Only Kos and Jack are my good friends. We've known each other since childhood and grew up together!

We know each other's family background...but they are more diligent in repairing the chain, while I am a little lazy...so we don't have much time to play together on weekdays. "Ellie shook her head and gave Clarissa a little hint.

"What about me? Do you trust me so much?" Clarissa raised her eyebrows and looked at Ellie. All in all, they only met by chance once, and then were teammates together for half a month, that's all.

"Sister Lisa, you are different. I believe in my own judgment!" Ellie shook her head and smiled at Clarissa and said, "Sister Lisa, the feeling you give me is... well... in short, you are very special! And it's very comfortable to get along with you!"

Clarissa laughed.

"Sister Lisa! Where are you from?" Ellie asked curiously.

"My home...well...is gone!" Clarissa shrugged and said bitterly.

"Sorry..." Ellie smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

"It's okay!" Clarissa shook her head indifferently, and then told Ellie about her situation.

"Orcs are so hateful!" Ellie puffed her lips and then sighed. Over the years, the orcs have never been completely eliminated. Humans have strong ones, and so do orcs.

The two sides have been competing for so many years that they can be said to know each other well.

However, the Gloucester Empire cannot mobilize the entire country just to fight the orcs to the death, right? Unless the orcs do that, but they don't...

Until now, an extremely delicate situation has emerged.

Trading or even making peace with the orcs is simply impossible!
