Chapter XVII: The Noble District
In the aristocratic district of King's Port, Xue Hua stood at the corner of a wide and tidy street, looking at the scene full of luxury in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Whew! Fortunately, the will clone can cover up the identity of the deity's professional, otherwise there would have been a lot of trouble just now.
But I finally came in, and it cost me more than 200 gold coins to enter the city, which is really dark to the bone......"
The corners of Xue Hua's mouth twitched and rolled his eyes, although two hundred gold coins were nothing to him now, but it still made him feel a little painful because he spent it for no reason.
"Anyway, it's good to come in, so the next thing is to find a relatively safe place and plan well.
This aristocratic district is full of professionals, and even there are five or six legendary powerhouses, and the insect swarm can't be used here, so some things have to be done in person. ”
He sighed, looked around, and soon found a nicely decorated inn on the corner of the long street.
"It's a nice place, quiet and remote, great for a temporary stay......"
Xue Hua took a closer look at the hotel, then nodded, and walked in with his luggage.
More than ten minutes later, Xue Hua, who had completed the check-in procedures, walked out of the hotel again.
This time, the name he used to register at the inn was no longer "Charlie Wales".
Because he needed to stay in the aristocratic district for a while, the name Charlie Walls could only stay here for a day, so naturally it was not suitable to cover for his actions.
And not only that, he even made certain adjustments to the face and height of this body, so that even the paladin who put him into the city would never recognize him in person.
That's the will clone of the mimic chicks, hey!
Xue Hua, who completely solved the identity problem, first walked along the main road of the aristocratic district, "King's Road".
I have to say that although the Wood family is not righteous and is a rebel, they have a really good way of running their own nest.
The whole aristocratic district is full of Western-style aristocratic buildings with church spires, this architectural style is a bit like the classical European architecture of Xue Hua's previous life, the brownstone exterior walls of the buildings are all carved with a large number of fine reliefs, and even the exterior walls of some buildings are simply inlaid with colorful gems (for non-professionals) and gold edges, which look extremely rich and luxurious, and it has reached the point of extravagance and waste.
The people walking on this street are all nobles and ladies dressed in brocade clothes, with all kinds of exquisite ornaments around their necks and fingers.
Occasionally, a servant or two followed his master, and the clothes he wore were all good things purchased from Ensdinger, the textile capital of the north.
The streets here are all paved with a kind of white stone with the twinkling of Venus on the surface, and the streets are clean and spotless, and under the light of the sun, the whole street is glowing with gold and white light, so that those who wander in it are like ascending to the realm of the gods, lingering.
On both sides of the street, there are a large number of shops selling all kinds of high-end luxury goods, and some shops even make display windows of transparent glass, and the items on display are all ancient relics brought by some high-level professionals from ancient ruins around the world.
Except for some scholars, the biggest buyers of these useless things are the nobles of the human kingdom who are poor and have only money left.
And among the nobles of the human kingdoms around the world, the nobles who belong to King's Harbor have the strongest purchasing power.
Xue Hua approached a glass display case and glanced at a pair of scimitars with mottled silver lines on the handles of the display cases, this thing was not even equipment at all, but its price was comparable to some low-level dark gold equipment!
"It's really extravagant and corrupt...... Xue Hua sighed, looked back at the aristocratic and wealthy businessmen who were wearing gold and purple all over the street, and hugged each other, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart for no reason.
With these guys here, even if the swarm finally helps humanity successfully defeat the demons and drive out the angels, what will the world become?
Take a look at the wharves in the port area outside the city, and look at the "King's Road" full of gold and jade.
Is it true that this world will not be destroyed at the hands of humanity itself?
"Hey... Sure enough! As long as the essence does not change, human beings are the same in any world. ”
Xue Hua turned sideways and let go of a golden carriage that roared past him, looking at the gold silk face family crest printed on the car, his eyes showed a little coldness.
"Forget it, it's not time to settle accounts with them, let's get down to business first." He pressed the brim of his top hat, turned slightly, and disappeared into the crowd of people in the street.
......
For a whole afternoon, Xue Hua quietly walked through the streets and alleys of the aristocratic district, except for the places that he couldn't enter, such as the palace or something, other places had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
To say that the aristocratic district of King's Port is actually very large, it was a city after all, so although it can't be compared with Lugoin, it is still more than enough to live for more than 100,000 people.
However, according to the information he learned that day, the total number of inhabitants of the entire aristocratic district, including slaves, was only tens of thousands, and many nobles' estates were built like castles, and a few hundred people occupied the land inhabited by thousands.
The royal palace and the residences of the three nobles were even more luxurious, and the royal district of Rugoin was like the royal palace of the King's Port, which was the difference between the residence of a small merchant and the villa of a large merchant.
Moreover, the defense here is really very tight, Xue Hua wandered around for a whole afternoon, and only found two locations that could barely allow the insect swarm to infiltrate in the way of digging into the ground.
That's right, the reason why Xue Hua spent an afternoon visiting the city was to bring in the insect swarm.
He alone is really weak, and he is a clone of the will rather than a deity, and he can't summon the Zerg unit directly from the Leviathan of the spiritual universe, so he can only try to get a batch of shadow insects and mimic chicks to come in and help him.
In the infiltration of the swarm into the countries of the Western Realm, the aristocratic district of King's Harbor has always been a blind spot in the swarm intelligence network, and the bright posts and secret posts covering the entire city wall are too tight, and the legendary powerhouse of the "Lion Holy Sword" Frank family, who will come to the city from time to time to take a walk, makes it impossible for the swarm to infiltrate the plan.
The camp of the "Shining Aegis" legion of the King's Harbor Forbidden Army is outside the city, and as long as Xue Hua doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with King's Harbor, forcibly infiltrating is a dream-like idea at all.
Therefore, Xue Hua had to infiltrate the city himself, so that he could use a long-forgotten item in his inventory to carry out a secret infiltration operation right under the nose of his opponent.
However, the tightness of the defense of the noble district of King's Harbor was still a bit beyond his expectations, and even with that thing as a cover, it would be difficult to smuggle troops without being surrounded by so many strong enemies!
Looks like we're going to have to get something wrong with the aristocracy and get their attention!
In the hotel, Xue Hua sat on a chair and touched his chin, thinking thoughtfully......
