==================
The desert meets the loess only a few hundred meters away, but the green dots in the distance indicate that they have reached the end of the desert.
It was still dawn when the group arrived at Kuoge City.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a gray-white city wall made of stone bricks, which was four or five people tall.
An arched doorway was left below for people to pass through. There was no heavy city gate blocking the way, only a movable wooden fence about a person's height. Inside the fence stood four or five guards, wearing leather armor and with slightly heavy iron swords hanging from their waists.
It can be seen that the area around Kuoge City is relatively safe, otherwise these guards would not be chatting while standing guard.
Through the sparse fences, you can see the scene inside the city.
The houses and the culture were filled with a strong medieval style. Perhaps because the commercial street was right at the entrance to the city, they could see from a distance that the street leading directly to the city gate was much more prosperous than Bubu Town, with people coming and going on the street, all dressed simply.
There are many pubs and hotels on both sides of the road, and many vendors are selling vegetables and some small items along the street.
"Alright." Lian Yun turned around and took a deep breath. "I'm a noble lady who sneaked out of the house. Lanner and Jamie are my guards. Buck is my brother, and Lina is my sister..."
Several people nodded seriously.
Lian Yun shook the white cloak on his body, and his face turned into a high-level indifferent expression in a second.
Seeing a group of people approaching, the guards realized that they were going to enter the city and quickly surrounded them.
After listening to Lian Yun's narration, the guard who was taking notes with a feather pen fell silent.
...The whole family sneaked out?
"What's wrong?" Lian Yun raised her chin, looking like a delicate young lady. "Is there a problem?"
Her cape and robes glowed slightly, and it was obvious that they were not rare items.
One of her younger siblings is so arrogant that he won't even look people in the eye, while the other has such bright eyes that seem to be able to speak... They really don't look like ordinary children.
There were also two guards beside her, one had a blank expression and a murderous aura, and the other looked ferocious... They both looked like they were not easy to mess with.
The guards exchanged a look of doubt and hesitated, asking tentatively, "Do you have any other proof?"
"Tsk!" The girl put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet impatiently. "I'm just here to have fun. What proof do I have?"
Upon hearing this, the guard in charge of recording breathed a sigh of relief: "Who are you looking for? Write down the name and you can enter. The entrance fee is 2 copper coins per person."
Lian Yun finally curled up the corners of his mouth into a barely perceptible smile: "Fang Suo."
…
Lian Yun was generous and threw out a gold coin directly.
A noble lady should look like a noble lady.
The guards nodded and bowed, happily invited the five people in, and pointed out the best hotel in Quoge City.
They headed straight for the hotel with their luggage, silently noting down some shops they wanted to visit along the way. When they arrived at the legendary "best" hotel, they were immediately attracted by the three-story building in front of them.
A wooden sign had the word "hotel" written on it in a concise and clear manner. The hotel had a triangular red brick roof with a sloping roof extending from the second floor to the first floor gate.
An arched wooden door appeared in front of everyone. Next to it was a simple small shed in the corner of the wall. There were several cargo boxes underneath. You could vaguely see that there were vegetables that had just been delivered.
Looking further back, there seems to be a simple animal shed for tying up mounts.
Regardless of whether it is good or not, at least the service seems to be quite comprehensive.
Lana pushed open the wooden door and several people walked into the hotel.
The first person I saw when I faced the door was a fat, brown-haired woman wearing a brown patched apron. She was standing behind the counter at the front desk, holding a feather pen and shouting something to the waiter who was cleaning the table not far away.
There are four supporting pillars and five long wooden tables on the first floor of the hotel. There are long benches on both sides of the wooden tables. At this moment, four or five people are sitting there having breakfast.
There was an extinguished fireplace on the right wall, the inside was charred and looked quite old.
There is a spiral wooden staircase in the front left, and you can see the rooms on the second and third floors next to each other along the stairs.
The plump proprietress smiled and nodded at the people who came over. "Five people? How many rooms do you want?"
Lian Yun waved his hand and said, "Five."
The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes narrowed in delight. "Is this your first time here? The rooms on the third floor are the best, 1 silver coin a night. The second floor is a little worse, but still much better than other hotels, 20 copper coins a night, with breakfast included. The five of you..."
Lian Yun didn't care whether the other party was asking for a higher price because they were rich. After all, gold coins were just numbers to her.
"Five rooms on the third floor, preferably next to each other."
Lian Yun took out a gold coin from the wallet at his waist and slapped it on the counter.
It was a bit strange to take money out of thin air, so Lina specially sewed a small wallet before leaving. It was off-white and matched Lian Yun's outfit perfectly.
The proprietress quickly picked up the gold coins, her face almost blooming with joy: "Okay! I'll take you upstairs right away."
She pulled off the apron on her chest, rubbed her hands on her body, walked out of the counter, called a clerk to watch the store for her, and hurriedly led a few people up the stairs.
There is also a large wooden barrel next to the front desk with an external water outlet.
Lian Yun pointed at the wooden barrel and asked, "What is this?"
The proprietress took a wine glass from the side, took half of it, handed it over and said with a smile: "This is wine brewed from parsnips."
Lian Yun: ...The wind-blown grass really can do everything.
The girl took it and took a light taste.
Parsnip wine is similar to beer, but a little bitter and astringent. It can replenish physical strength, but the taste is really...
She felt that the parsnips here were similar to the wheat in her hometown. They could be made into flour and used to make wine, but the taste and texture might not be as good as wheat.
The proprietress led a few people up the stairs. Passing by the closed door on the second floor, Lian Yun asked, "Is the hotel crowded at this time?"
The proprietress said, "Not many. Most of the people staying at the hotel are caravans and adventure groups. They usually choose to stay on the second floor. It's cheaper for long-term stays."
Lian Yun nodded in understanding: "What do they usually do?"
"The caravans will set up stalls on the pedestrian street to sell their wares, and the adventure teams will take on quests and fight monsters." The proprietress was a little surprised. She didn't even know this?
Lian Yun raised an eyebrow, and Lan Na stepped forward and said coldly: "My young lady has never been far away from home before, so she is not familiar with these things."
That’s no wonder. The girl probably just went out and finds everything new and exciting.
The proprietress nodded quickly and said with an apologetic smile, "I see. Then I'll tell you more."
"Adventure teams usually go to the mission hall to receive missions, and then go to nearby areas to fight monsters. The monster corpses sometimes belong to them, and sometimes they have to hand in the missions." The proprietress explained.
"If you want to know more, you can go to the tavern in the back street. There are many people there and you can get a lot of information."
The proprietress led the five people to the doors of their respective rooms. Lian Yun lived in the innermost room, and next to her were Lana, Lina, Buck and Jamie.
Lian Yun nodded modestly, and before bidding the proprietress farewell, she asked, "Is there any place nearby to buy daily necessities and clothes?"
The proprietress said: "Turn right and you'll see a pedestrian street with many shops. Caravans are also selling their wares there, but..."
She quietly looked at Lian Yun and smiled: "With your status, I guess you wouldn't be interested in the clothes there."
That's not necessarily true.
Except for himself and Lanna, the rest of the residents in the town had no good clothes to wear.
Lian Yun complained in his heart, but his face remained tense: "We're just out for fun, just have fun. Thank you. By the way, what's your name?"
The proprietress waved her hands repeatedly: "No way. My name is Ella. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
She handed over the key attentively and left with a smile.
Lian Yun walked into his room.
The decoration in the room was quite standard, with khaki wooden floors, classic walls, a solid wooden double bed covered with nice-looking bedding and covered with light gold curtains.
Lian Yun secretly took note of the layout of the bed and planned to go back and order a similar one from Gary.
There is a carpet on the floor next to the bed near the windowsill, with square and round patterns printed on it, which is very Bohemian style.
Lian Yun walked across the soft carpet, came to the window, and reached out to push open the arched wooden window.
The noise from the street suddenly flooded into the quiet room.
Looking out from the third-floor window here, you can overlook the entire street and even see several compact streets behind it.
"Going out is a good choice." Lian Yun murmured.
Looking at the town she had just arrived at since arriving in this other world, the completely different scenes and people with different expressions all showed her the incomparably real vitality of this world.
The street where the hotel is located has a hotel every few steps, and
There is a pot of green plants outside the attic of a two-story clothing store on the opposite street.
On another residential street across the street, a gray-haired woman was walking home angrily, grabbing her child by the collar. The child was covered in mud and had a depressed look on his face.
Lost the fight?
Lian Yun couldn't help but smile.
The overall cultural atmosphere of Kuoge City is harmonious. Patches of green can be seen in the distance, and vegetables can be found everywhere on the streets, indicating that the residents live a self-sufficient life.
It's a nice town.
Lian Yun thought that he would be very satisfied if Bubu Town could be built like this in the initial stage.
She thought about it and realized that Bubu Town was also working hard to make progress.
It’s just that there are fewer residents, and the town’s reconstruction work is sometimes not so busy.
But after the farming tasks were properly arranged, the food problem was guaranteed, which was also a major improvement in the town's infrastructure.
Next, she needs to find a professional intermediary to bring more residents into the town so that the dilapidated houses can be rebuilt quickly.
There is still a long way to go, but with the joint efforts of the town residents and everyone's company, Lian Yun believes that everything will be resolved.
She lay on the windowsill and watched for a while until there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, we've finished packing. Shall we go shopping now?"
It was Lanna's voice.
Lian Yun stretched, snapped his fingers, and smiled as if ready to go.
Kuoge City, she is coming!
