The three of them got into the car, and Marlowe and Abe consciously sat outside with the driver.
Zhang Feng opened the carriage door and was a little surprised when he saw the scene inside.
This carriage looked ordinary from the outside, just a little bigger than an ordinary carriage, but it was extremely luxurious inside.
Carpets made of fine sheepskin, soft cushions with bright colors and delicate textures, fragrant oil lamps, and a variety of food and fruits...
The most important thing was the woman who was half lying on the couch. Zhang Feng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Delia has perfect body curves, fat where it should be fat, and thin where it should be thin.
Her figure is just like her face, like a ripe peach, as if water would come out if squeezed.
This Delia knows Zhang Feng's name, and she doesn't seem to have any fighting power, so she is most likely from the City Lord's Mansion.

"silly?"
“…”
"Where is the slave market? Why is there no sign? Could it be that the woman tricked me and dumped me on the road?"
Then the two of them just stared at each other.
Thinking that Delia had clearly said that she would pay a reward, Zhang Feng was still looking forward to what the reward was. However, after getting in the car, the other party did not mention it anymore. Although Zhang Feng did not suffer any loss, he still felt a little unhappy.
"My Lord, where are we going now?"
"There's no rush for that. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to pay me? Take out your reward first, and then I'll consider how much to say."
Zhang Feng scolded Delia, leaving her speechless, and then Zhang Feng continued:
"I am indeed surprised."
What do you mean I promised you? Isn't it just what I want to say? Can you still control me?
Zhang Feng was speechless. He had experienced women's ability to misunderstand. As for satisfactory compensation, Zhang Feng didn't take it seriously at all.
Zhang Feng was in the carriage and could not see the edge of the castle on either side. One could imagine how huge the castle complex was.
For example, Delia would always inadvertently mention how big her house was, how many servants she had, and even vaguely mentioned that she had a big business in More City.
One is that she is a member of the city defense staff of More City. After all, they may have seen the registration list, but looking at Delia's appearance, she does not match the image of a city defense general, so obviously she is not.
Zhang Feng withdrew his gaze with some regret, shook off the snow on his body at the door, and then went in. As soon as he came in, he smelled two scents, one was an oil lamp made from an unknown animal, and the other was the body odor of the other person.
Before the advent of steam cars, Zhang Feng had always been using Hongye City's old horse-drawn carriage. That old carriage had a second life in Zhang Feng's hands. Apart from anything else, it was really good at keeping warm. For example, the secretary Erica was so hot that she took off her clothes as soon as she got in the carriage.
These castles are stacked on top of each other and there is no comfort at all. In particular, many of the castles have their sunlight blocked. They cannot see the sun all year round. It would be strange if the people living in them did not have problems.
Delia smiled again, and Zhang Feng was stunned.
Veins were throbbing faintly on Delia's forehead, and her eyes were filled with malice.
"Forget it. I won't talk to you. You are an outsider and you won't understand even if I tell you."
However, after Zhang Feng went back last time, he gave Lin Yulan a heads-up and told her that he would be missing for a while. The other party said that she knew it and thought it shouldn't be a big problem.
Bang! The window slammed shut.
After saying that, Delia looked at Zhang Feng with burning eyes.
Even if we ignore the practicality and only talk about the aesthetics, there is no beauty at all, because the styles of these castles are not unified! It's as if they were forced together.
After getting off the car, looking at the carriage going away, Zhang Feng cursed inwardly, "Witch!"
When Zhang Feng saw the castle complex for the first time, he was surprised, but after seeing it clearly, he complained a little. He wondered how boring the person who could build this thing must be.
You should know that Zhang Feng's name only appeared once, and that was when he registered at the city gate when entering the city. The hotels here did not have the habit of registration, and his subordinates usually called Zhang Feng "Sir". At the auction, no one asked Zhang Feng's name, and Zhang Feng naturally did not introduce himself.
Although there are various forms of beauty, Zhang Feng really cannot appreciate something this messy and ugly.
Seeing that Zhang Feng was silent, Delia said in a gentle voice:
Zhang Feng ate another grape and replied with a smile.
"Isn't that stupid? Building a castle like this would cost a lot of money. Let's not even talk about whether it's necessary to waste money like this. Just look at the buildings themselves. What the hell are they? Not only are they impractical, they're also ugly!"
Suddenly, the voice of the coachman outside brought Zhang Feng back to his senses. He shook his head, getting rid of some messy thoughts in his mind, and then he saw Delia staring at him.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything. He stood up and was about to get off the car when he heard Delia suddenly say, "You haven't asked me the question you promised me. Forget it this time. See you next time. I hope you can answer truthfully and I will give you a reward that satisfies you!"
"Yes, it's ugly. Do you think a pile of these messy things can be beautiful? No, not at all! If we only consider the appearance, we can use the money to build these castles to build a taller and more magnificent castle. Don't you think it would be better looking than this assembled thing?"
Zhang Feng suddenly thought of a question. It was estimated that there were not many people in Moore City who could own such a large building. Or, was it built by many people together? It seemed possible.
"That--"
From time to time, cheerful laughter could be heard in the carriage.
As for Zhang Feng himself, he doesn't dare to say how famous his Red Leaf City is. At most, it is just a small circle of people. Of course, this is due to the inconvenient transportation in winter, but it is a fact.
"The City Lord's Mansion?" Zhang Feng was stunned, but thinking of such a large area, it seemed that there could only be a City Lord's Mansion. "I was looking forward to being able to run Moore City like this. What kind of person is their City Lord? But now it seems that he is just like that. He is just a fool, a rich fool!"
Unfortunately, Zhang Feng used another ugly word, which almost broke Delia's defense.
A large castle appeared outside.
What a ripe peach! Delia never mentioned the follow-up of "renting a carriage" again, but talked about other things with Zhang Feng.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As the city lord, Zhang Feng naturally knows the operating rules within the city. If he finds some "special" people, he must report them to the City Lord's Mansion, and then the City Lord's Mansion will choose whether to report them to the city lord.
"ugly?"
The land price in More City is not cheap. According to Dili, her house is as big as half of More City. How is that possible? Let's not talk about whether you have the money to buy so much land. It's a question of whether the city lord allows it. If it were Zhang Feng, he would not let anyone build such a large building in Hongye City!
"It's a bit cold. Although your carriage looks good, there are still many shortcomings that need to be improved. For example, the warmth retention problem is not even as good as my previous second-hand carriage."
Neither of them spoke any more and fell silent.
Zhang Feng was a little unsure. He didn't know whether the other party had really given up or had other plans, but he was not afraid. Anyway, Zhang Feng would not speak unless he was given benefits.
"City Lord's Mansion!"
Delia also put forward her own conditions. She couldn't understand Zhang Feng's words. It didn't make sense to pay him first.
It's not just the two of them, there's also Lin Yulan from another world. Calculating the time, Zhang Feng hasn't returned to the modern world for more than half a month. Because his whereabouts are now erratic, Zhang Feng feels that after he travels back in time, he will most likely be in the wilderness. So he will wait until he arrives in the royal capital and settles down temporarily before going to report his safety to Lin Yulan.
"What's wrong with me? They were built to be seen by others. I don't believe that the people who built these castles didn't want to show off. They must have! Otherwise, why build so many castles when they can just build one to live in? Since they are for people to see, I can say it naturally."
Zhang Feng could naturally handle it with ease, but Zhang Feng always felt that the "daily life" that the other party talked about was a bit fake, or in other words, there was some element of showing off wealth.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Obviously, Zhang Feng's impolite look just now made her a little unhappy, but her voice was gentle, and even when she was angry, it was a pleasure to listen to.
After all, beautiful things will make people linger, whether men or women.
"cold."
Delia looked away, her face cold but her voice still gentle.
If Delia really has such a big business, then let alone other things, her vision and courage are at least not comparable to ordinary people. For example, after hearing Zhang Feng's previous remarks about renting horse-drawn carriages, she would either start practicing directly or leave because she was not interested. Unlike her, she wants to get benefits but is unwilling to pay first. How can such a petty person make a big business?
Zhang Feng withdrew his gaze and chose to spare his own eyes.
Delia was stunned, not knowing how those magnificent buildings outside could be connected with "stupidity".
"What's wrong?"
Delia didn't even hear what was said later. How could she decide how much to pay? What if she gave too much but it wasn't worth it? Would she regret it? Impossible. Delia was not someone who went back on her word! And Zhang Feng's words just now seemed a little too confident to Delia. What did he mean by that she should pay first and then the other party would consider how much to say?
The reason why it is called a piece is that this castle is not a castle, but a combination of many castles. The tallest one has six floors and the lowest has three floors. Each castle is closely connected to each other, forming a castle complex.
Zhang Feng kept smiling as he looked at Delia expectantly.
Zhang Feng subconsciously touched his face. Apart from being as handsome as ever, there was nothing else about him!
Zhang Feng was somewhat puzzled. Looking at the buildings in front of him, he said speechlessly:
"ugly!"
Delia opened the window and a cool breeze blew in, stopping the casual conversation between the two. Zhang Feng looked through the window at the building not far away and was surprised.
"Everyone loves beauty. It's normal to take a second look at beautiful things. It's normal."
This is no longer self-confidence, it is narcissism.
Zhang Feng was lost in thought and fell silent.
The other one was an acquaintance, but Zhang Feng obviously didn't know her.
After all, the flow of people in a normal city is definitely not small, and it is impossible for the city lord to review all matters, otherwise the city lord would have been exhausted. The city lord will only make decisions on some important matters, and other small matters will be left to his subordinates.
Zhang Feng was stunned and lost his grip on the grapes, causing them to fall to the ground.
After a few thoughts, Delia decided to have everyone take part in a survey questionnaire.
Zhang Feng changed the statement to a more popular and straightforward one.
Speaking of Erica, Zhang Feng's thoughts drifted away. He didn't know how that obedient little secretary was doing after being away for so long. And Caroline, he didn't feel anything when they met often before, but now he hasn't seen her for such a long time, and he misses her a lot.
"You can simply understand it as stupid! Yes, it is stupid!"
Zhang Feng was not embarrassed either. His eyes had thoughts of their own and Zhang Feng couldn't control them.
"Mr. Zhang Feng, you haven't finished your words just now. I am looking forward to the sequel of 'Hire a Carriage'."
"good."
It’s just that Zhang Feng was always looking at these “ridiculous” buildings and didn’t notice it.
Delia didn't understand.
But it was obvious that although Delia looked very interested, she was a rational person.
Without his sharp tongue, Delia could finally relax.
Soon, Delia was labeled a "liar" by Zhang Feng. No, it should be a "beautiful liar".
Zhang Feng's surprised expression naturally did not escape Delia's eyes. She asked casually, "Mr. Zhang Feng seems surprised?"
With a charming chuckle, Delia's body trembled uncontrollably. Although she was covered with a blanket, her graceful curves could not be concealed. Zhang Feng subconsciously looked at her again and again.
The castle is about six stories high, which is considered very tall in the other world.
"By the way, who owns this castle complex? It should be more than just a place for people to live, right?"
Zhang Feng sneered at this.
Even if we build a square building, it will be much better looking than this castle! Moreover, ten years is too long. With steam engines and orcs, Zhang Feng thinks it is no problem to shorten the time tenfold.
"A slave market."
Delia spoke up unhappily.
Zhang Feng shrugged. He did not plan to stay in More City for long. After attending the banquet hosted by the city lord and learning more about More City, he still had to go to the capital. It was very likely that he would never see this woman named Delia again.
He admitted that Delia might be rich, but definitely not as rich as she said.
In fact, Zhang Feng still felt very indebted to Lin Yulan, and even a little regretful. He didn't know what happened in the beginning, and they got together in a daze. However, he put his focus on the other world, which led to him and Lin Yulan being together less and more apart. He didn't even make a promise to her. Thinking about it this way, Zhang Feng felt that he seemed to be a bit of a scumbag...
No, there should be another possibility! Zhang Feng suddenly thought, what if the other party is the city lord's wife? This is not impossible, so we can only say that this city lord is really blessed! Although Zhang Feng thought a lot, his thoughts were very fast, and it was all a matter of a few moments.
Let’s not talk about the luxurious carriage and stuff, but it was really surprising that she knew Zhang Feng’s name.
"We've arrived at the slave market!"
"you……"
Listening to Zhang Feng's comments, Delia couldn't help it any longer.
Zhang Feng still thinks the second one smells better, after all, it is pure natural and pollution-free.
At the same time, he was secretly alert in his heart, this Delia is not simple!
Zhang Feng had never seen the palace that was built two hundred years ago, so he could not comment on it. However, this "castle complex"... to be honest, it was really ugly! And the design was also unreasonable in many ways.
As for the last possibility, it is that she works in the City Lord's Mansion.
Marlowe asked out loud.
"What surprises me is how stupid the people who built this castle are!!"
"Nothing, we're here, get off."
"Mr. Zhang Feng's gaze... is really annoying!"
However, Zhang Feng did not intend to say so much to Delia, as the other party would not understand even if he did.
Zhang Feng didn't believe this even more.
Most people in the other world don't eat fruits raw. They think it's unhealthy. Delia doesn't know whether it's healthy or not, but she knows that cooked fruits don't taste very good, so she likes to eat them raw. She didn't expect Zhang Feng to have such a hobby. It's interesting.
Zhang Feng didn’t know what kind of person built this castle, or what he was thinking at the time, but Zhang Feng knew that the other party must be rich and had the look of a nouveau riche.
"And your word 'only' just now scared me a little. It took ten years to build such a thing? If this happened in my territory, I would jump off the building out of embarrassment!"
Before Delia could finish her next sentence, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhang Feng.
Delia took a deep breath and said slowly:
Facing Zhang Feng's question, Delia took a deep breath and spoke calmly: "What you said is indeed correct, but have you ever thought that building a bigger castle is not impossible, but it is more difficult and takes longer! Do you know how long it took to build this castle? Only ten years! The palace of our Buck Kingdom is the kind of castle you mentioned, but as far as I know, it took a full two hundred years to build the palace. Do you still think this castle is ugly now?"
The distance from the east to the west of the city is not short, and even if you take a carriage, it will take a while.
Delia did not stand up to greet him, but Zhang Feng was not polite. He sat down casually opposite Delia and even picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
Delia also said that her business was not only well-known in Moore City, but also well-known outside, and had close trade relations with many cities.
"But they may not tell the truth... Let's put it this way, whoever lies, chop off his head."
Delia seemed to have forgotten the purpose of inviting Zhang Feng up, and kept chatting with him about this and that, mostly about daily trivial matters.
Facing Zhang Feng's gaze, Delia calmly grabbed the sheepskin blanket to cover her beautiful figure, and looked at Zhang Feng with a smile on her face. Her gaze stayed on Zhang Feng's face for a few seconds.
As long as the other party's compensation satisfies him, he doesn't mind saying more.
"Let's talk about it next time we meet, but I guess there won't be a next time!"
Three seconds later, perhaps because they felt it was a bit childish, they both retreated at the same time.
"You speak first, and after I listen, I will decide how much to pay you!"
Therefore, there are probably three possibilities to know Zhang Feng's name in such a short time.
Anyone who can move into the City Lord's Mansion can basically be regarded as the City Lord's confidant. Their wealth and status are unmatched by ordinary people. This also explains why the other party can own such a luxurious carriage and even have the capital to negotiate a very expensive business with oneself.
Delia raised her pretty eyebrows.
But after a little thought, he felt that what Zhang Feng said seemed to make some sense. "No, I have to ask other people when I get back to see if this castle is really that ugly in their eyes!"
"Haha, Mr. Zhang Feng is really interesting!"
Delia said somewhat dimly.
It’s really a big area.
"fool?"
Although she felt that Zhang Feng seemed to be quite capable in business, it was just words after all. It was good enough that she was willing to pay him. How could she possibly take out the reward first?
“This is the slave market.”
Marlowe pointed to the building ahead.
Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he saw the two-story building he was pointing at.
"No way, the slave market is so small? It's too different from the Psychedelic Museum!"
Marlowe knew that Zhang Feng had misunderstood his meaning, and quickly explained: "No, you misunderstood. It's not that house, but starting from here, the entire western half of More City is called the Slave Market!"
“…”
