Later, in order to show off their status and distinguish themselves from the common people and the poor, the powerful nobles spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the inner city wall, which was the tall white wall that Li Ziyu saw.
The materials used for the inner city walls are all high-quality white stone, which is transported from other places. Not only are they extremely strong, but they can also resist weathering and will not change for hundreds or even thousands of years. The nobles in the inner city use this to prove that they are different from others.
As Torento introduced it, the carriage moved forward towards the inner city.
Li Ziyu leaned over to look at the city wall. The defense of the inner city was indeed well taken care of. At least there were soldiers patrolling and defending on the city wall, and there were also soldiers guarding the gate.
The soldiers made way, and Torunto rode forward, came to the gatekeepers, and said to them, "I am Torunto, the shepherd. Open the gate!"
As he spoke, he handed over a token.
The gatekeeper took the token, inspected it, and then respectfully handed it back to his companions, saying, "Master Mushou, open the city gate!"
Oh, that’s good. There are also implementation standards. Face recognition is not enough.
Li Ziyu raised his eyebrows and commented with a smile in his heart.
He thought Torento could just use facial recognition, but it turned out that a token was needed.
The city gate was opened from the inside using a stirring wheel. With a creaking sound like grinding teeth, the gate slowly opened. Torunto waved to the back, and the team entered one after another.
Entering the inner city, Li Ziyu's eyes suddenly brightened. The ground in the inner city was paved with thick stone slabs, and ditches were dug to prevent the road from being flooded when it rained. There were green trees on both sides of the road, and tempting fruits were hanging on them. Just based on this municipal greening, it had left the civilian areas outside far behind.
This is where the nobles live. Townhouses are standard for small nobles. From a distance, you can see many large manors. The owners of those houses are all great nobles who have lived in Sunderborg for generations. The area of the inner city is not too large and is blocked by city walls. It is also difficult to expand. It can be said that every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
It is not just the nobles who can own a large manor here. Even the nobles have to work hard for several generations, be rich, and have real power to live there.
Elena was so overwhelmed by the sight that she could hardly keep her eyes open. Li Ziyu was also looking at the environment of the inner city with great interest. He was very surprised by this place.
It is indeed clean, and there are many traces of magic. For example, there is always a feeling of breeze blowing on your face. The air is constantly flowing, taking away the meaning, keeping the air fresh, and with a light fruity scent.
There were people specifically responsible for cleaning, fertilizing and watering the trees, sweeping the roads, and ensuring cleanliness. These people were often slaves who had served the nobles for generations. Commoners were not even qualified for such jobs.
"Toronto, where is your house?" Li Ziyu asked curiously.
Torento, who was riding on a horse, pointed to the distance. Li Ziyu looked in the direction he pointed and could vaguely see some buildings, but they were not very clear. He simply stopped paying too much attention to them. He would know when he got there anyway.
The group walked through the streets and into the city, until they stopped in front of a huge manor.
The servant on duty in the gatehouse rushed out when he saw the procession approaching. When he saw Torento on horseback, he immediately ran over to hold the horse and said respectfully, "Sir, you are back. Thank you for your hard work."
Torento nodded condescendingly, "Well, go open the door and welcome our distinguished guest."
The concierge glanced at the carriage and quickly replied, "Yes."
