360 Good teacher
After Benedict handed Beta the invitation, he left with a few casual polite words, seemingly afraid of spending too much time with Beta. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While Beta had a simple wash, there was very little water in the desert and it was precious, so the water provided by the inn was not much. After doing these little things, Beta ate the jerky provided by the inn and walked out of the hotel.
Aristocrats are very respectable, and under normal circumstances, they would not do such a thing as eating and walking at the same time. But Beta is different, even if he is now a lord, even if his current status is already considered the upper class of the nobility, but in his bones, he is still a player.
Players are creatures, no matter how elegant and polite they may be on the surface, but in their bones, they are still the kind of freewheeling style and habits.
Beta walked out of the hotel, swallowed the last bite of jerky into her stomach, looked around, and noticed that the atmosphere in the city was a little weird.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the sky, and the coolness of the desert night had not completely dissipated, and if it was normal, many vendors would have occupied both sides of the road by this time, and began to shout loudly about their business.
But at this time, there were only a few vendors on both sides of the street, Liao Liao, who were placing some small objects, and their expressions were obviously a little melancholy.
It's clear that something is going on in the city that affects the whole city.
Beta thought for a moment, returned to the inn, and asked one of the attendants.
It turns out that the matter is very simple, according to the experience of the past few hundred years, there will be a heavy rain that lasts for about ten days during this time, light rain, which is commonly known as the desert rainy season.
Today is the last day of the desert rainy season, and if there is no heavy rain, it may be four months before there will be new rains.
After listening to this, Beta was a little strange: "I remember that there is an oasis in the north of the city, where there is enough water, and it should be no problem to last for four months." ”
"The oasis has less than a third of the water." The attendant said worriedly: "And it is the lord's water, when there is a lot of water, he can let us use it, but now the water is not much, the lord has sent people to surround the oasis in the early morning, except for the nobles, ordinary people are forbidden to go to get water." ”
Beta left his worried attendant, re-emerged from the hotel, and wandered the streets.
The unique talent of the god-descended aristocracy, 'internal affairs' once again came into play. Beta observes the layout of the city, listens to the conversations of the citizens, silently checks the number and whereabouts of goods on the streets or in the shops, and the information is collected by the system, and then sorted, screened, and finally comes to a conclusion in the internal affairs system.
Beta seems to be wandering aimlessly through the streets, but as time goes by, more and more information comes out of the interface of the internal affairs system, and by the evening the internal affairs system has sorted out something.
City: Perth City
Affiliation: Sunland
Lord: Cole Middleton
Population: 200,000 (estimated)
Specialty: Cactus fruit, gold dust
Cleanliness: 42
Happiness: 59
Guard Strength: 4500 (estimated)
Looking at the city's foundational attributes, Beta narrowed her eyes. The current city lord's management ability is not good, his happiness is only 59, and he has not even reached the passing line, so it is difficult for the city to have no riots.
But it's normal to think about it, if the city lord who knows how to manage, such as Beta, in this kind of drought period, he will indeed carry out water source control, but it is an equal distribution of control, everyone can go to the water source every day to get a certain amount of water, to ensure the most basic living conditions, after all, if people do not have water intake for a day, it is easy to have problems.
Then he would send people to look for water outside, and even use his own private money to organize teams to transport water from other places.
Instead of being like the Lord of Perth, who only allowed the aristocracy to fetch water, and did not know about the lives and deaths of the common people.
For this reason, Beta suddenly felt a little bad for the lord of Perth City. Even so, he still had to go to the later banquet, and until now, he had not found any clues in the city, and there was no movement on the rat's side, which means that he would most likely need to stay here for quite some time.
In this case, contact with the local aristocracy is indispensable. And this banquet was an opportunity for him to enter the circle of local nobles, or to find out some useful news from these local nobles.
He returned to the inn and made an enchanted ruby out of magic materials.
When the night was darker, he walked to the City Lord's Mansion.
Unlike the earth-grey rock castles of other countries, the Lord's House in Perth City is a sand-shaped building with a white dom.
Sand can be made into sand sculptures, which can then be solidified with earth-based magic, so that you can build up a fortified castle step by step. Perth City has two dual-earth and fire magicians, and it is very easy to do such a thing.
The castle lord's mansion was brightly lit, and Beta walked in after showing the invitation to the waiter at the door.
In fact, he doesn't have to show the invitation, and he also has the right to enter, after all, he is wearing a magician's robe, which in itself is the last pass.
As soon as you enter, there is the welcome hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where many people are standing and divided into small groups. They talked in a very low voice, and although there were many people, they did not seem noisy.
Walking quickly and gracefully between them were the attendants of the Lord's Mansion, most of them wheat-skinned women, with an average good appearance, and occasionally when the nobleman's hand landed on some part of their body, they would smile seductively, and the spring marks were fully visible.
This is the norm that occurs in most aristocratic banquets, but there is a clear difference between it and not.
Sunland has a bold style, and it is even more vigorous in this regard.
Most of the guests in the venue are aristocrats, of course, they are mainly small aristocrats, and some wealthy businessmen. The vast majority of them are Sunland natives with black skin, and there are also a small number of white-skinned foreigners.
Beta, with her dazzling bright blonde hair, attracted the attention of many people as soon as she entered the arena.
With the talent of aristocratic temperament and the identity of a magician, Beta is like a night pearl rolling into a pile of fireflies, and it seems that people can't take their eyes off.
The nobles began to whisper to each other, asking each other who this man was.
And a few well-informed nobles already know Beta's approximate identity. After all, even rats can know the news, and these nobles can find out with a little thought.
Moreover, Sunland borders Hollevin, and Perth City is also a major transportation route to Hollevin, and it is normal for the nobles here to inquire about the news of neighboring countries. On top of that, Beta is not well-known among ordinary people, but among the upper echelons of Hollevin, he is very famous.
Beta entered the chamber and stood for less than ten seconds before Benedict dropped the object he was talking to and walked in front of Beta.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for coming." Benedict saluted: "Please wait a moment, the city lord will come out soon." ”
Beta nodded.
"Your Excellency, please come with me, the lord has prepared a place for you, and in your capacity, you should not stay in such a noisy place."
Once he had spoken, Benedict led the way, followed by Beta.
The guests in the reception hall almost all watched the two of them walk through the hall and then up to the second floor, and when the two of them disappeared at the top of the stairs, the guests boiled slightly.
They know very well that Benedict, the spellcaster, usually has the highest status in Perth City, except for the lord, although everyone knows that Aisha is stronger than him, but Aisha is a woman, and in Sunland, the status of women is not high, so Aisha's deterrence and even real power are a little smaller than Benedict.
Seeing Benedict in front of this young man, he showed a humble look, which made more people curious about Beta's true identity.
Walking up the stairs, Beta was led to a side room, Benedict knocked lightly, very regular, it seemed to be a code, and after a while, the door opened, and there was Aisha's very exotic face.
"Your Excellency, please come in." Ayisha leaned sideways, and at the same time her waist twisted slightly, which was very amorous.
The two entered the room, and Benedict invited Beta to sit down at the main seat.
Beta wanted to refuse, but when she saw the relaxed expressions of the two people, she seemed to be a little cramped, and then sat down on the main seat according to what they said.
Senland's hierarchy is very strict, a little more serious than Hollevin, Beta is a master-level powerhouse, among the three, it is his strength that is the most exaggerated, he does not sit on the main seat, and the other two dare not sit.
After Beta sat down, Aisha breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Beta, you are really amazing, not only are you a master-level powerhouse at a young age, but you are also the senior bishop of the Workin Temple, I wonder if Your Excellency can teach us how to improve our strength faster?" ”
Hearing this, Beta knew that the two people in front of him already knew their identities.
This is normal, even the 'rats' here can inquire about the beta, and as magicians, it is not difficult for them to really check it.
Benedict was a little nervous, and the rapid increase in strength was a secret that every spellcaster was eager to know, and those who knew it would not say it casually, and ordinary people would not ask casually.
And Ayisha is a beauty, and beauties always have some privileges.
Benedict knows very well that if he asks like this, the consequences are generally not too good, but if a beautiful woman asks, even if the other party is unwilling to answer, she will not be angry.
Now that there was still some time before the banquet officially began, Beta thought for a moment and said, "My method is not very suitable for you, but I know a method that can be used by almost everyone, and if you want to hear it, I can tell you about it." ”
"Really?"
The eyes of the two spellcasters lit up together, and Aisha asked casually, which was an opening sentence that broke the silence, she didn't expect the other party to agree, but now she had an unexpected joy.
"I wonder if you've ever heard of the Magical Creation Training Method?" (To be continued.) )
