Chapter 152
Crescent City, as the only one city for the Viscount of Crescent, is much shabby compared to Morton City.
Fang Cheng along the way, the whole city, let alone a moat, even the city wall is a pile of broken stones, the city wall is very short, less than five or six meters high, enter Inside the city, it is different from the bustling scene Fang Cheng saw in Morton City.
It is very desolate, and there are few pedestrians on the dirty streets.
Actually, Fang Cheng didn't know that many of the residents here fled to the hinterland of the Eastern Holy Empire. Most of those who stayed behind were old, weak, sick and disabled, who didn't have the ability to travel long distances.
After all, the outside world is not more convenient than Earth. It is quite difficult for ordinary persons to travel here. Almost all are on foot. If you are a little richer, you can also take a carriage, but whether it is walking or taking a carriage, the body is not strong enough. , Obviously too much.
...
Micosi is the Viscount of Crescent Collar, very young, but in his early twenties.
At such a young age, he inherited the territory of Crescent Neck. In theory, McCaus should be regarded as the winner of life, but this is not the case. If placed a year ago, Crescent Neck is still A rather ordinary border territory.
But since the Eastern Holy Empire destroyed Nova dukedom, Nova dukedom has been filled with terrifying monsters. These monsters are strong as an ox, cruel and bloodthirsty, and civilians in the territory are often wandered. The monster that comes is killed and eaten.
Many civilians run the risk of being killed by the guards and being captured by slave traffickers as slaves, and they also want to flee to the hinterland of the Eastern Holy Empire.
Later, even the guards of the territory fled.
If it hadn't been for McCaws as the Viscount of Crescent City, he would have thought of packing up and running away.
At this time, McCaus was sitting at the dining table in the castle hall. The lights in the hall were dim, which contrasted with McCaus's innocent face. McCaus is very similar to his dead father, both of them are chubby.
It's just that, compared to his father, McCaus appears to be much weaker.
"Master Viscount! Master Viscount!"
Outside the gate of the castle, a man with a height of nearly 1.8 meters and a very strong figure has endured the hardships of a long journey and rushed forward. Coming in, he was hair grey-white, and he seemed to be a handful of age.
Hearing the call of steward, McCaus immediately lifts the head, stood up and greeted him.
"Uncle, how is it?" McCaus was nervous.
Eun saw the look in his Young Lord’s longing eyes, and the loneliness in his eyes was fleeting. He smiled and said: "Viscount Lord, the other party wants 10,000 gold coins."
"What?"
Mikes was dumbfounded, as if he had misheard, both of his hands were placed on Steward's shoulders, and repeated in disbelief, "How much did you say? Ten thousand Gold coin? Why don't these greedy guys grab it!"
Mikes is flustered and exasperated.
"Master Viscount," Eun secretly glanced at the Master's face, cautiously explained, "The official apprentice who finds the black and white tower is the price, they said, maybe ten magic stones "
"Magic stone?" McCorston became even more excited, "Where can I get the magic stone? I am just an ordinary person with a fourth-class aptitude. Where can I find a magic stone?"
Macaus angrily picked up the silver wine glass on the table, and fell fiercely to the ground.
"It's just a recommendation letter from the official apprentices of the Black and White Tower. They actually charge such a high price. These wizards are too greedy."
You En looked at Since the Master vented there, he didn't speak, but he said in his mind, this is that you haven't seen the arrogance of those wizards, otherwise you won't think that greed is their biggest problem.
"Viscount-sir," Eun hesitated for a moment, "Or, let's not go to the black and white tower, and live peacefully in New Moon City."
" Today, McCaus seems to be a different person, changing from his usual cowardly appearance, his face flushed and yelled, "Eun, do you know? I am having nightmares every night, dreaming that I was The group of monsters will be captured and eaten.
Can you experience this feeling? Now how many civilians are there in Crescent City? Our guards are almost gone, wu wu wu --"
Speaking, McCaus actually squatted down, and wu wu wu cried.
"Uncle Uncle, I am afraid, I want to leave here."
This is the true idea of McCaus, why go to the black and white tower to learn spell, but to escape New Moon City, but to find an excuse to cover people's ears.
"Or, let's run away too." Eun hesitated for a long time before saying such a sentence.
Macaus was heartbroken. After a while, he shook the head and said: "It is a death crime for the nobles to abandon their territory and run for their lives."
"Then," Eun thought for a while, "we can I sold the crescent collar."
"pu 呲! hahaha!"
After hearing this, McCaus still had tears in his eyes, but his mouth laughed. Then, the laughter grew louder and louder. Eun saw how mad from the Master and knew that he had said something wrong.
This is not a wealthy territory. This is Crescent City. Don’t talk about selling this territory. Even if it’s free, no nobles will take over. Nova dukedom is such a large country, why no one To occupy?
It's not because of the looting of living corpses. Even though Crescent City is a little better, it is close to Nova Dukedom, and there are still living corpses invaded. This is also the reason for the serious loss of civilians in the territory.
This kind of territory is simply a hot potato. No one wants to take over. Even the super powerful wizard apprentice would not choose to take over such a troublesome territory.
Originally, McCaus was planning to get a recommendation letter from an official apprentice to become an ordinary apprentice in the Black and White Tower, but those greedy guys actually bid 10,000 gold coins.
Ten thousand gold coins, you can buy an official Knight slave.
Macaus was thinking.
A male servant in gray clothes came in. He knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Viscount Lord, there are guests outside the castle asking for a visit."
In front of the servant, Si immediately assumed the posture of a nobleman. He quickly wiped the tears from his face, said solemnly: "Is it who?"
"The villain doesn't know, but , He gave me this, and said that you would know it by reading it." Then, the servant took out a metal sign, bowed his head and stood up, and handed it up.
Mikes frowned and took the metal plate in the servant's hand, seemingly familiar. He looked at the complicated lines on the metal plate carefully, and he felt dizzy.
Macaus did not dare to look more, he then asked: "What does that person look like?"
"He is wearing a black robe," the servant thought for a while." By the way, there seems to be a silver pattern on the robe."
"What?" McCaus was excited for a moment, "Are you sure it's silver?"
The servant thought about it for a moment. , Nodded.
Mikes saw the servant nodded, and quickly said: "Hurry up and invite him in."
