The city of Helsin's impression of Charlotte is very good, with its wide streets paved with thick stones, flanked by small brick buildings of two or three storeys or even higher. The stone is blue-black, giving the whole city a quaint, time-honored atmosphere.

It's different from Gruyal, a backward town that seems to be stuck in the Middle World. Hersin feels like Renaissance Paris or London.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and occasionally a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage passes by. The carriages were decorated with intricate coats of arms. Even the driver of the car was well-dressed, and his face was full of confidence and pride.

The city has a strong business atmosphere, and you can hear all kinds of business topics from their conversations. Everyone is very concerned about the price fluctuations of a certain commodity, or what a certain chamber of commerce has made a big move.

There are even people who talk about the impact of a certain decree on the market.

You must know that whether it is in Gruyar, Muxi Town, or Wolf's Heart Town, people are discussing topics nothing more than how the harvest is, what the year is, and at most they are concerned about whose wife has a bigger butt.

But the people of Helsing are concerned with market commerce, policy and performance.

Of course, you can also hear all kinds of gossip, stories that a certain noble lady and her gardener have to tell. What knight married a rich widow, and even the children were ready-made.

After all, the fire of gossip is burning in the multiverse, and no one should want to stop the idea of gossip among the people.

Charlotte took Alice's little hand and wandered the streets of Helsing. Watch the vendors gather in the small square, watch the citizens bargain, and watch the bustling city.

Sometimes you have to sigh that two people with different living circumstances are like two people of different eras. Their hobbies, habits, and even three views are completely different.

Although Helsin City cannot be compared with the cities of the Great Celestial Empire in later generations, its area is almost the scope of a prefecture-level city.

The city of Helsin faces north and south and is divided into several regions.

First of all, the city gate area is a small area, but it also contains more than a dozen horizontal and vertical streets. There was a garrison of the city guards, who guarded the gates. Most of Helsin's violent apparatus is set up here.

Charlotte and the others stayed in the City Gate District last night, where there are many taverns and inns, specifically for the business of floating population. To the east of the Gate district is the Artisan District, which is far from the crowds and is a gathering place for artisans and workshops.

Further north is the Trade Zone, which is basically the largest area with a very large permanent population and merchants. Most of the small traders and shops choose this place. Walking around here, you'll have to be extra careful with your wallet.

Just now, when Charlotte was taking Alice through the trade area to the Temple of Woking, there were no less than five people staring at Charlotte's money bag along the way. However, Charlotte has a minimap, and any hostile actions will be shown in red on the map.

So every time he didn't wait for the thieves to make a move, he found that Charlotte was already staring at him.

To the east of the trade area are the Arcane and the Docks. The Arcane Zone is a gathering place for those who cast spells. There are a lot of minarets and magic shops. Because Helsing was built on the banks of the Mississippi River, water transportation flourished. So there is this dockland, which is a bustling area second only to the trade area. It's relatively messy, though.

Further north of the trade area is the Temple District, which is called the Temple District because of the concentration of temples. Unless it is a god on the evil side, Helsin City does not block any neutral and good side temples.

In fact, there are often priests of evil gods who preach in private. After all, this is a large city with a permanent population of more than 200,000.

The entire Norfolk region is about the size of several provinces of the Celestial Empire, but there are no more than five cities of this size. No one would let go of such a big city.

Further north is the administrative district, which is adjacent to the aristocratic district, and the two can basically be regarded as one district. The guards there are also the strictest, and there is no way to get close to them. The entire administrative district of Helsin has the highest terrain.

The whole of Helsing is high in the north and low in the south. When the rainy season arrives at the lowest-lying southwest corner, it can be very bad, and the roads are muddy and messy. There are cemeteries and slums.

Charlotte and Alice target the Slums, but they don't choose to return to the Trade Zone. Instead, it is inserted directly from the old town to the west of the temple area.

The Old Town is the second largest area in the city, but it's not in very good shape. A few decades ago, Helsin suffered a catastrophe that was almost destroyed. And the old town is the part that remains.

Later, the city expanded, and the old town was left unattended, and some abandoned houses can still be seen in the old town. The people who live here are some commoners and craftsmen.

And the slum where Charlotte and the others are going is not an officially recognized area. That's part of the Old Town. The part of the old town next to the cemetery is called the ghetto, because no one wants to live there if they have a little money.

The cemetery is full of cemeteries, and no one lives there except the grave keepers. In addition, the terrain is very low, and the conditions are very poor.

Those who live in the slums are veritable paupers. They don't have a steady source of income, or even the skills or abilities they rely on to make a living. Most of them are refugees who fled during the disaster year.

If the administrative and aristocratic districts were inhabited by the upper classes, then the trade districts were inhabited by the middle class such as small merchants. And the Old Town, City Gate District, and Dock District are the first choice for civilians.

However, the slums are the most helpless of the people.

Charlotte and Alice first arrive at the orphanage in the Old Town, which is no longer an orphanage. More than a dozen adventurers were stationed here, and after the orphanage collapsed, an adventuring team bought the place from the government department as a station.

Now there are no more orphanages.

Charlotte touched Alice's soft blonde hair and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, because now you are no longer an orphan." ”

"Hmm, will I have a home?" Alice looked up and looked at Charlotte with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, when we find a city we like, we will buy a house......"

"Will you marry me, then?"

"Poof! You're only 12 years old, why do you have so many strange ideas? "Charlotte almost wanted to ask the police uncle to take him away.

I don't want to suffer from this anymore!

"I didn't refuse it at the first time! Sure enough, Charlotte likes little girls, right? Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Charlotte is in a state of "embarrassment" again, but at least Alice has come out of her loss.

The two laughed and walked to the slum.

When you walk into the slums, you will gradually find that the environment is getting worse and worse, the roads are getting narrower and narrower, and they are no longer paved with stones. The muddy road was littered with sewage, and there was excrement in the corners. You can smell the strong smell of urine from a distance at the base of the corner wall.

The people who live here keep their doors closed, staring at the people on the road behind the cracks and windows. Occasionally, pedestrians hurriedly walked by, all of them were yellow-skinned, their clothes were ragged, and their eyes were numb.

Helsin is by far the most prosperous city Charlotte has ever seen, but at the same time its slums are the worst Charlotte has ever seen.

Now, travelers from afar, welcome to Helsin......
