Chapter 506 Dwarf Orc
The next day, Gervis was awakened early in the morning by a noise coming from not far away.
"Gululu!"
The next moment after waking up, his stomach started to growl.
He was busy until midnight last night, but hadn't eaten a single bite of tea or food. Now there was not even a speck of food left in his stomach.
Gervis searched his pocket and found two silver coins and a few copper coins.
When he came here, he was completely naked, even his underwear was shredded in the turbulence of time and space, so naturally there was nothing left.
These two silver coins were looted from the guard last night.
Since he had money, Gervis was not afraid of having too little and prepared to go out and buy something to fill his stomach.
Gervis came to the tree swiftly and stood still at first. Then his face changed again and he turned into a young and handsome young man.
The disguised servant he wore last night was naturally not suitable for public viewing, and Gervis didn't dare to walk out in his original appearance. Who knew if he would be remembered by that beautiful woman?
After making sure there was no problem with his face, Gervis looked at his clothes again. These were the clothes of a servant in the City Lord's Mansion and he couldn't wear them out casually like that.
So Gervis simply took off his outer garment and wore only an ordinary undershirt inside, so that no one would notice anything unusual about his attire.
After making sure that nothing was missed, Gervis walked directly towards the direction where the noise came from, which was the road leading to the Holy City of Heka.
Gervis walked slowly and reached the edge of the woods a minute later.
Pushing aside the branches blocking the road ahead, the road now became very busy with people coming and going, creating a prosperous scene.
At this moment, Gervis suddenly saw something, his face changed, and he subconsciously touched his waist, but found nothing.
I saw an orc appearing on the road ahead, or to be more precise, a green-skinned half-orc.
At this time, the orc was pulling a truck forward, and sitting in the car behind him was a short, muscular, and bearded middle-aged man.
"dwarf?"
After a moment, Gervis also realized that the orc was obviously a coolie, and the pedestrians on the road ignored the orc.
“It’s really weird!”
This scene felt quite strange to Gervis. In Eurasia, orcs and humans were mortal enemies, and would fight to the death once they met. But here, he saw orcs and humans walking side by side openly.
Although he didn't know the reason, Gervis felt that it was most important to fill his stomach first, so he saw an opportunity and walked out of the woods and onto the road.
At this time, most people on the avenue were heading towards the Holy City of Heka, and Gervis also followed the flow of people and slowly headed towards the Holy City of Greeting Cards.
Last night it was too dark to see the entire picture of the Holy City of Heka. When he saw it again today, Gervis was deeply shocked.
The huge city in the distance is like a giant dragon rising from the ground, entrenched in this vast land.
Gervis made a rough estimate that the wall of the Holy City of Heka was at least fifty meters high, which was an astonishing height. Coupled with the length that seemed to have no end, it was difficult for Gervis to imagine what kind of cost it would take to build such a city.
Walking and looking along the way, Gervis soon arrived at the gate of the Holy City of Heka with the crowd. At this time, the place was already full of people waiting to enter the city.
Although the gates of the Holy City of Heka have been opened, it is early morning and there are the most people entering and leaving the city, so congestion is inevitable.
Among the people queuing, Gervis saw more orcs, as well as the muscular, bearded dwarves he had just seen.
Each of the orcs was dressed in rags, just like the one we just saw, and many of them could be seen as human or dwarf laborers.
The few free men were alone, carrying some fur-skinned beasts on their backs, as if they were preparing to take them to the city to sell.
Although the people around them obviously kept some distance from the orcs, they did not show any fear, only disgust and contempt.
As for the dwarves, most of them sat in carriages, raising their wine jugs to pour wine into their mouths from time to time, as if they could never get drunk.
Those orcs are basically their laborers.
Just as Gervis was looking around curiously, the queue finally slowly moved towards the city gate.
"A copper!"
When Gervis arrived at the city gate, a guard came up to him with a jar and said impatiently.
"Damn, I have to pay to enter the city?"
"I'm afraid I can collect several thousand copper coins this morning! It's faster than robbery."
It was the first time that Gervis encountered a fee to enter the city. He looked at the people in front and behind him, took out a copper coin and threw it in. Gervis complained slightly, but finally took out a copper coin and threw it into the money jar.
Now there are at least a thousand people gathered at the city gate. Gervis feels that this business of collecting money is more profitable than his own wine.
"Make way! Make way! Master Magician, please pass!"
Just as Gervis paid the copper coin and prepared to move forward, he suddenly heard the guards shouting from behind.
When Gervis looked behind, he saw a luxurious carriage slowly approaching from behind, while the guards in charge of guarding the gate quickly dispersed the crowd behind and made way for it.
The carriage did not stop when passing through the city gate and entered the city unimpeded.
"Mr. Magician is so awesome! He doesn't have to pay to enter the city. It would be great if I could enter the city without paying. I will travel all over the alliance in the future!"
"Don't you see yourself? All certified magicians are important figures! Let's go. Let's sell the fur of this gray wolf as soon as possible. Then we can enjoy ourselves for a few days."
The two people in front of Gervis saw this scene, their eyes full of envy.
When Gervis heard their conversation, he couldn't help but look at the two of them. Both of them were low-level bronze knights, but now they were envious of the magician for being able to enter the city for free, which really made Gervis at a loss for words.
After the magician walked away, the city gate returned to peace again and Gervis went straight into the city.
At this time, the city was crowded with people, and it was even more lively than the city gate.
Gervis first found a stall on the roadside and ate two pancakes to fill his stomach, and then started walking around the city.
If he wanted to go back, he needed to figure out where he was. To figure out his situation, Gervis thought there were two ways: either buy a map or go to the tavern to ask.
In addition, he also needs to find a way to make some money, otherwise he will probably go hungry in a few days.
The prices here are much higher than those in Eurasia, where a piece of black bread that costs one copper coin can feed a person for three meals.
Here, two copper coins could only buy a small cake, and Gervis had to eat two to barely fill his stomach.
However, because the taste was really bad, Gervis did not continue eating after filling his stomach temporarily.
As he walked along, Gervis looked at the shops on both sides, wanting to see if there were any stores selling things like maps, but after turning two streets he found nothing.
"Tavern?"
Just as Gervis was about to continue wandering aimlessly, he suddenly saw a tavern in front of him.
After seeing the tavern, Gervis' eyes lit up.
If you want to understand this place, apart from maps and other things, the tavern is probably the best place.
So Gervis stopped and turned to walk into the tavern nearby.
