Elena's eyes brightened up a lot, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Li Ziyu said softly, "Then go and pack up. We'll set off when Torento prepares the carriage."
Elena went out happily.
Not long after she left, Torento walked into the room and said respectfully, "Master, the carriage is ready and can leave at any time."
Li Ziyu was very satisfied with Torento's ability to do things. He stood up and walked out, calling Elena at the same time.
"Elena, we're about to leave. How long will it take you? Are you ready?"
"Here I come, here I come."
Elena responded and hurried over, carrying a large cloth bag in her hand.
Li Ziyu looked at her cloth bag curiously. Elena didn't have anything valuable at home, so she asked, "What did you bring?"
Elena pursed her lips and smiled, "It's food. There's no way to move other things, but food is needed everywhere!"
Saving food is something that every poor person needs to learn, and Elena, who has experienced hunger, understands this even better.
The other things in the house didn't matter, the bed made of wooden boards, the three-legged table, these were all dispensable and could be left without, but she had to bring the food with her, as she didn't want to experience hunger.
Hearing this, Torento stepped forward and said, "Ms. Elena, you don't need to..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Ziyu stopped him with her hand and said with a smile, "Well, okay, take it with you."
Torento looked at Li Ziyu in surprise. As a nobleman, he didn't quite understand why he did this.
food?
What good things can the food of the poor have? Can they eat better than those nobles?
Even the house has been contributed, let alone food. Elena will definitely not be short of food, so why not take the food with her?
Li Ziyu and Torento have different ideas. The teachings of his previous life made him respect food. He hates wasting food and believes that food is worthy of attention. In his previous life, there were great men who dedicated their lives to preventing people from going hungry.
Elena's willingness to value food is her shining point and a virtue as important as "kindness".
Li Ziyu didn't want her to lose this virtue.
Elena carried the packed food and followed Li Ziyu to the carriage that Torento had prepared for them.
"Elena, where are you going?"
"Yeah, are you planning on leaving here?"
The neighbors watched from afar, and several of them who cared about Elena couldn't help but ask.
They didn't know what had just happened, and they became anxious when they saw Elena about to get on the carriage.
"I'm going to the inner city. When I come back, I'll tell you about the fun things in the inner city!" Elena waved to her neighbors with a smile on her face.
The neighbors were surprised that Elena could go to the inner city.
Elena and Li Ziyu boarded the carriage. Torento rode a horse and brought his private soldiers to protect the carriage. He ordered the soldiers to clear the way and return to the inner city.
The slums and civilian areas on the outskirts and edge of the city are dirty and messy, the ground is wet and muddy, and even the air has a foul smell like a dry toilet in summer.
No one cares about these insect-like poor people and civilians. In the eyes of the nobles, civilians are a group of inferior people who are only worthy of surviving. The poor are not even considered human beings. Their status is higher than that of slaves, but worse than that of livestock. Their only purpose of living is to attract the attention of creatures like vampire monsters so that these monsters will not rush directly into the inner city.
The street where Elena lives is a slum. The houses are all built with broken wooden boards. The construction techniques are very casual, and the main thing is that they don't collapse. You can see all kinds of strange shapes. Triangular houses are not special here. A house like Elena's is already a very good one here. It is the only legacy her parents left her.
On the narrow, muddy and dirty streets, you can often see poor people in tattered clothes, with pale faces, skinny bodies, and bony bodies wandering around like zombies. There is no light in their eyes, and they are numb and lifeless.
The carriages traveled through the streets of the slums, and the soldiers looked vigilantly at the approaching poor people. They would threaten them with their spears and tell them not to come near.
Not all poor people can have enough food to eat. It is not surprising that those hungry poor people will do anything. They will attack nobles for a bite of bread. The soldiers cannot allow this to happen.
The roads in the slums are complicated and it took a long time to see a slightly wider road. This is the civilian area, and the houses and roads are a bit tidier, although still dirty.
Traces of a city can already be seen here, which must have been planned in the past.
The horses' hooves made a clattering sound and the carriage was not comfortable to sit in.
This world is not well developed, especially with the existence of supernatural powers like magic. The development of machinery has been curbed. The magician is high and mighty, and the carriage doesn't even have a shock absorber. Although the carriage is covered with thick cushions, the bumpy feeling still makes Li Ziyu very uncomfortable.
Elena, who seldom leaves the slums, looks very interested even when looking at the houses in the surrounding civilian areas.
After a while, Li Ziyu felt really bored, so he stuck his head out of the car window and looked into the distance. He saw a tall white city wall in the distance.
That was their destination, the so-called inner city.
Torento, who was riding on a horse, slowed down and walked parallel to the carriage, telling Li Ziyu about the situation in the inner city.
The tall white city wall did not exist originally. Sundberg itself did not even have a city wall. People built the city wall later in order to resist the invasion of monsters such as Warcraft.
