The name is just like Red Leaf City, unremarkable.

In fact, it is true. At least from Zhang Feng's point of view, being mediocre is a compliment.

The interior of the hotel was just as Zhang Feng had expected, damp, dark, and small. There wasn't even a reception hall. There was only a table and a thin human lying on the table.

The musty smell mixed with the smell of sweat, food, livestock, and even feces fermented together. It was so sour and pungent that Zhang Feng couldn't open his eyes. He covered his nose with one hand and knocked on the door frame with the other.

"Anyone there?"

Hearing the noise, the man lying on the table moved and raised his head reluctantly.

“Who is it?”

Listening to Marcy's complaints, Knight Marlowe was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"Is there any room available?"

After all, after interacting with Cotton for more than a day, he felt that he was a pretty good person, a little clever, but more of a simple farmer, without any bad intentions. If he were replaced by a person with a darker heart, and found a lone "noble" with a lot of wealth, Zhang Feng didn't know if he could successfully reach Hongye City.

"What else can we do? Let's break up!"

As soon as Ma Xi said this, most people's eyes lit up. They didn't care about Red Leaf City, they cared about making a fortune! However, there were a few discerning people who knew that this was impossible, because the Baroness would not agree. Without her nod, the title could not be traded successfully. Besides, the nobles would not look down on this barren place.

The woman called Marcy glared at Blanche like a cock with its feathers standing on end.

Sorry to bother you, goodbye!

Zhang Feng bowed to the shop owner, and when the other party was wondering what this action meant, Zhang Feng just slipped away.

Zhang Feng and the cow stared at each other. He couldn't understand why there was a cow in the hotel room.

Zhang Feng pinched his nose, pointed at the cow and asked speechlessly.

Zhang Feng came back to his senses after hearing a few sheep cry. He then realized that there was not only a cow, but also three sheep behind the cow! "Are all your rooms like this?"

"Moo~"

"Hey, Baron Charles was the same. He was fine, but he insisted on hunting brown bears. He didn't catch the bear, but he lost his life. Why did he do that? It's a good thing he died, leaving us with this mess!"

Although Zhang Feng no longer had much hope, what if the room was cleaner, or even had less odor? It would be fine as long as it was usable. Zhang Feng was not such a stingy person.

"Tell me what you should do about the problems that are about to happen?"

The shop owner did not mind at all, as they were used to living in the same room with livestock.

But when he saw the strange but exquisitely dressed Zhang Feng in front of him, his good professional ethics made him sober up instantly. He immediately ran to the man who was probably a noble, nodded and bowed, saying:

But it was obvious that Zhang Feng was disappointed.

"This is not the time to be angry, Marcy, please be serious!"

In fact, the smell is secondary. The main problem is that it is too dirty. Zhang Feng knows that these animals are prone to breeding infectious diseases, especially since he is an "outsider". In this technologically backward place, if he really gets infected with some disease, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yes, sir. Because some merchants from far away came to Hongye City to sell livestock these past two days. They haven't sold all their livestock yet, so they are temporarily staying in our hotel."

"Isn't it because of his newly married wife, wanting to make her smile? Oh! This is really hurting others and yourself!"

The other knight sitting at the top slapped the table, stopping the verbal fight that was about to break out.

"Hey, sir, we have a bigger room here, don't you really need to think about it again! Sir~"

"Hey! Beck, pay attention!"

The owner's eyes lit up and he answered instantly.

If you serve this noble well and make him happy, you will make a lot of money by giving him any reward.

"Uh, what should we... do?"

"certainly!"

"Meh~"

The knight at the top was a little unhappy.

"Hello, sir, I am the owner of this store. How can I help you?"

"Blanche, you!"

A lady next to him, who was dressed exquisitely and smelled fragrant, waved her hand somewhat exaggeratedly, with a look of disgust.

"Stop fanning me, Marcy. Your cheap perfume smells disgusting!"

Marcy responded bluntly.

Zhang Feng felt like crying but had no tears.

As for going to Baron Charles' castle to get a position, Zhang Feng had thought about it, but looking at the team of soldiers holding shining swords, he was a little scared. Although it seems that the security here is good except for the backward technology and bad environment, but what if? After all, he is a fake noble, so it is better to be cautious.

Finally, a sturdy man wearing a shining knight's armor broke the silence. The scar on his face was as tangled as his current mood. He scratched his short blond hair, and snowflakes flew in the air.

The room is not small, about 30 square meters, more than enough for one person to sleep. Of course, it would be better if there was no cow.

"Come on! There is nothing to gain in a remote and barren place like Hongye City. It would be a thankless task for anyone who comes here. Only a fool would come here. Besides, it is still a question whether one can see the king. Even the king himself has forgotten that there is such a remote place in his kingdom!"

In the dim conference room, a dozen people sat next to each other around a long table, but all were silent.

Perhaps because he had been here for a long time, the smell of the shop owner became stronger. Zhang Feng subconsciously took two steps back and said helplessly:

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Feng decided to go find Cotton, the local, again, give him some money, and see if he could help him think of a solution.

He never expected that a noble would visit his shop, because nobles never associate with common people. Those proud nobles would rather sleep on the streets than live under the same roof with the untouchables.

Baker opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, a lady in sackcloth next to him taunted him.

…

Marlowe fell silent again. He knew that what Marcy said was true, but if he gave up just like that, thousands of civilians in Red Leaf City might not be able to survive the winter. As someone who strictly adhered to the spirit of chivalry, he couldn't bear it.

At the same time, the town hall is not far from the castle.

Marlowe sighed. These people were originally put together by Baron Charles. When Baron Charles was around, he could control everyone with his prestige and benefits. Now that he was gone, this team could fall apart at any time.

Marcy said nonchalantly.

"Then show me around."

"Hey, Marlowe, I'm serious! Baron Charles is gone. Without him, can you run Red Leaf City? Red Leaf City's finances have long been in deficit. Even if there is still some wheat in the fields, it can't support the lives of more than a thousand people in Red Leaf City for the next few months. Winter is coming, and it's a question whether those untouchables can see the sun next spring. If Charles hadn't promised a generous reward, I would have wanted to leave this crappy place a long time ago!"

"There is only one solution that is not a solution now, and that is to sell Baron Charles' title and territory to the nobles. With the protection of the nobles, Red Leaf City may be able to survive. Of course, we can also make a fortune by the way!"

"Alright! Everyone, now is not the time to quarrel!"

"We can jointly ask the king for help in the name of Hongye City Hall..."

"If you ask me, this is all his wife's fault. She is a jinx. If he hadn't married her, nothing would have happened now!"

Some people were talking in low voices, but the conference room was so small that everyone could hear it.

"That's enough. Let's stop here for today. The meeting is adjourned."

Marlowe interrupted the discussion in annoyance, looking unhappy.

These people are fence-sitters with some ability and cannot be relied upon. Perhaps I should discuss it with the Baroness. If that doesn't work, I can only prepare for the worst.
