Chapter 3232. East Guard City
Considering that it might cause unnecessary trouble in the future, Lowe decided to tell the truth, "That was the spiritual thought of my mother, Count Evelyn."
"Lord Evelyn?" Lan Lan looked around, puzzled. "Where is she?"
"It's the black shadow just now." Lowe reminded.
"Ah! It turns out it's not a ghost. I thought I was dreaming." Lan Lan suddenly realized.
Time passes, and the afterglow of dusk fills the sky.
Today's journey was much easier for Lowe. When he was tired, he took a rest on the back of the ice wolf Anus. Every five kilometers, he consumed a rabbit that Zoe had shot.
The price is a bit high, and Lowe feels like he can’t afford it.
A peaceful day comes to an end.
Early the next morning, Lodel announced the departure of the team.
Luo Wei noticed that her face was very heavy today, "What are you thinking about?"
"Li, no reply."
"Didn't she go to Dam Village yesterday? Maybe she will stay overnight in the village!"
"It's very unlikely. I have a bad feeling about it."
Luo Deer's hunch was wrong. In the subsequent trip, Li led the team back. It was said that they got lost in the dark, so they had to find an abandoned cowshed to spend the night.
Li informed Lovedam Village of the population results.
Three hundred and twenty-two people.
Lowe memorized the number, "How many people were there in Dam Village ten years ago."
"I forgot to ask this." Li scratched her black hair embarrassedly.
"Well, Fulin Castle should have records anyway." Lovi didn't care too much and waved to Li to return to the team.
The journey continues.
Over the next two days, the group climbed over mountains, passed through forests, and crossed streams and rivers.
Lovey deeply felt the difficulty of transportation in the territory. Sometimes, even though the distance was right in front of him, he had to take a long detour. Finally, when he stood on Luoxia Mountain and saw Dongwei City, Lovey breathed a sigh of relief.
It is really exaggerated that it takes four days to walk a distance of no more than 100 kilometers in a straight line.
More than once I felt out of reach.
Putting myself in their shoes, I think under such conditions, it is impossible for the kingdoms and principalities of the East Continent to have cohesion.
A territory is basically equivalent to a small country. At most, it maintains nominal subordination.
Lodel clasped his hands together and looked down at the Eastwatch from a height. Over the past few years, the city has not changed at all.
The low city wall was still less than five meters high. The tattered flags fluttered in the wind.
When going down the mountain, the huge crowd attracted the attention of Dongwei City.
The leader, Lodel, is easily recognizable with her iconic flowing silver hair.
"Lordelle is back!"
"Didn't Lodel become the commander of the guards? Could it be that the lord is here with him? "Quickly notify the city lord."
After hearing the news, Xidan, the lord of Dongwei City, took the initiative to go out of the city to welcome them.
Although he was quite old, he knelt on one knee in front of Lovi very respectfully and said, "Lord, welcome to your most loyal East Guard City."
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Xidan." Lovi felt a little strange after being kissed on the hand.
I looked carefully at Hidan who stood up. This woman, who was the same age as my mother, looked a little older now. She had brown curly hair and was very tall.
He was about 1.95 meters tall, at least a head taller than everyone present.
She has a high nose, deep eyes and thick lips. Overall, she is a very charming beauty.
"You should have sent someone to inform me in advance before you came." Xidan said with a slightly complaining tone.
"Sorry! I will do it next time." Lovi also felt that it was a bit rude. If Mosuofei was around, he would definitely remind him.
"Teacher!" Lodel took the initiative to greet him.
"Oh, Dale is already so beautiful." Hidan walked over with a smile, opened his arms and hugged Lodel tightly.
Laudel's fair and delicate face flushed slightly, "A woman's appearance doesn't need to be mentioned."
"Young man, don't be so rigid. If you have a good appearance, I don't know how many people will envy you." Xidan patted Lodel's back vigorously, and let her go after a long time. "Lord, have you brought all the poor people who were attacked by the goblins?"
"Yes, these are the people." Lowe raised his hand to indicate.
Xidan strode towards the crowd, asked someone about the general situation, and came back shaking his head and sighing. "It's so tragic. I'm blind and insulted. How am I going to live in the future?"
"I have tried my best to compensate them." Lowe briefly explained his compensation plan. "Can you help with the land?"
"Okay, leave it to me." Xidan agreed immediately.
Dongwei City is located in the gap of the basin terrain. There is a fertile land three miles long and nearly ten miles wide between it and Luoxia Mountain.
Ten years ago, the population was 26,000, and now it is estimated to be no less than 30,000. The exact number still needs to be recalculated by Hidan.
Since it is backed by a mountain, it is easy to obtain stone materials, so many buildings in the city are built with stone slabs.
After entering the city, Lowe silently looked at the pedestrians standing and waiting on both sides of the street.
The people were very poor and wore linen dresses with holes in them and straw sandals.
The spirits of the people were quite good. No one was skinny due to hunger, and no beggars were seen on the road.
Hygiene issues can be serious.
Even though the main roads are generally clean, a mixed stench will occasionally waft through the air.
Luo Wei's face kept changing, and he finally calmed down. To be honest, he really didn't want to live in the city unless it was necessary.
The crowd came all the way to the city center.
The flower beds in the square are planted with flowers of various colors and evergreen shrubs, and trees are dotted around them at appropriate intervals.
The two-story City Lord's Mansion is not grand, but it is very unique.
Xidan asked kindly, "My Lord, have you had lunch?"
"not yet"
"I'll arrange it for you."
Hidan gave instructions to the servant beside him, who left in a hurry.
With his hands behind his back, Lowe took the steps of a leader and walked into the Executive Hall. His eyes were first attracted by the quartz clock on the wall. The current time was 1:37 pm.
Luo Deer followed Luo Wei in, put his hands on his waist and looked around, "Teacher, did you change your clock?"
"Yes, the original clock was broken, so I had to buy a new one. It's not very expensive." Xidan said vaguely.
Although it is not expensive, the market price of the clock has never been less than ten gold coins.
If you want something of slightly better quality, you’ll need at least thirty or fifty gold coins.
With the city lord's salary of fifty silver dollars a month, it was very difficult to buy a clock.
Therefore, we can only claim it from public funds and deduct it from taxes as office supplies.
Hidan secretly looked at Lowe's expression, felt nervous, and pursed his plump lips.
Lowe did not pursue the matter, as he had no concrete idea of prices. Considering that even Raja had a clock in his office, it was not surprising that Hidan bought a new clock.
After all, he is the city lord. It is impossible for him to be worse than the mayor.
