The second update!
Cook followed Viscount Locke, and realized the backward appearance of this world, as well as the hard work of hurrying, but also experienced some privileges of the nobles, Cook finally knew the name of this place, it is the province of Angans, the jurisdiction of Cousin Lock, and the territory of Viscount Locke is located on the edge of the tail of the Angangs Mountains, and the geographical conditions are still good, but the more he goes to Cousin City, the more Cook feels that Captain Locke's territory is not a good place.
Because the further you go, the hills gradually disappear, and the mountains and forests gradually disappear, in exchange for a large number of farmland and castles everywhere, each castle is almost a nobleman, and the road also changes from a mountain path, to a yellow mud avenue, and finally a stone pavement.
And the power of the nobles in this world is very large, some chambers of commerce, and civilians are not allowed to walk in the center, and when they see the nobles, they must take off their hats and salute, and the slaves can't even look at the nobles.
"That's the city of Khobar. Just when Cook was tired of eating from farmland around him, Tip pointed to the distance.
"Uncle Kuif, how far is this Kubal City? "Cook can't see, there's no way, people are on mounts, they must be looking farther than themselves.
"Hehe, it must be there when it's dark. Cook was shocked by what Quarter said, you must know that it is just dawn now, and there are still ten hours before dark, but after nearly half a month of training, Cook no longer cares about this little distance, but fortunately, the road at the beginning is difficult, and the mount does not dare to let go of speed, so Cook slowly adapts.
"Well, let's eat and walk, and try to stay in a warm hotel at night. Quief snorted and then said, and the man began to distribute the food.
"Oh!" Cook felt a little vomiting as soon as he heard about eating, no way, who ate a kind of bread for half a month, hard as a stone, had to be broken, and then took off the water bladder, and slowly melted it with a mouthful of water, it was still a rough feeling, like eating sand, of course, two meals a day, there was evening jerky soup in the evening, jerky was the kind of black meat, of course, there was nothing else in it except salt, jerky was not much thicker than a thumb, one per person.
Of course, Viscount Locke's food is better, but it's just that the type of bread is different, and Kuif and others are the same, of course, the amount of broth is more sufficient, Cook also saw that Viscount Locke is buying people's hearts, after all, in the era of cold weapons, the main purpose of the guards is to block the knife, if you usually treat the guards badly, maybe you will hesitate for a second at that time, then it will be a cup.
"Haha, Quiff, I think you want to be a dancing girl in the hotel!" said a knight with a scar on his eyebrow, this knight is at least 2 meters tall, and his muscles are extremely developed, this knight has a spear in his hand that is a full 4 meters long, Cook has hardly seen the spear leave his hand, this is Kidd, a knight of the second class.
"Yes, yes! The captain's staying power is the longest among us. "Because of the main road, there are patrols of the principality from time to time, so Cook's group walks together, Viscount Locke walks in the middle, Quif walks in front, Kidd is on the left of Viscount Locke, and on the right is Naris, Naris's height is not short, about 2.1 meters, but he is also very muscular, but Naris is surrounded by two long swords and a round shield, and he often does not leave his body.
"Hehe, the dancer doesn't want to, it's like having a good drink. Quive replied with a smile.
"Haha! Quief, you guy didn't want a dancer that time. Viscount Locke said unabashedly.
"Since you want to say this, then I will ask for it, otherwise I will say that I will not give face to my lord. Quief replied with a smile.
"You're a slippery head, aren't you just a dancer, I invited it, and it's two at a time. Viscount Locke said as he pointed a horsewhip worth dozens of gold coins at Quiff.
Cook observed on the side and found that in private, Viscount Locke had no shelf for the several guards around him, and judging from words and deeds, these people went to the battlefield at the same time, but at that time, Quif, Naris, and Kidd were all Viscount Locke's guards, at that time Viscount Locke was a second-level knight, and now Viscount Locke is a third-level knight, as for how many levels there are, Cook is not very clear.
However, Cook looked at Viscount Locke's own set of armor with two pack horses, which was the kind of half-body armor, and a spear full of metal with an arm thickness of 4 meters, and understood the difference between the third and second levels.
Talking and laughing along the way, it was soon getting late, and Cook and his party finally saw Kubal City, but the Kubal City that Cook saw was just like a huge monster in the dark, Viscount Locke showed his noble badge and easily entered through the middle gate, and Cook saw a long queue in front of the small gate on the other side, where a large number of people and goods were piled up.
"Hehe, little Cook, don't look at it, that's the route for civilians to enter and exit, the city gate we take is exclusively for nobles and the army, those civilians can only enter the outer city, let's go directly to the inner city here. Locke looked at Cook and explained with a smile.
"Thank you for your advice. Cook hurriedly thanked him, Cook was actually brought from the earth, and there is no such etiquette in this world, but he still enjoyed watching Viscount Locke's appearance, and there was no need for Cook to change.
"Let's go, let our little Cook see the big city. "Viscount Locke still rode his horse, while the Quiffs dismounted as soon as they entered the city.
"Big city, big city, do you know what a big city with hundreds of people is like, this city of less than 100,000 people is actually called a big city?" Cook secretly scolded in his heart, in fact, Cook was still very surprised, after all, this was built by all human beings, unlike those high-rise buildings built by machinery on the earth.
"Tsk!" Cook entered the city, only to find that the inside was different from what he saw outside, there were street lamps in the city, to be honest, this was more developed than ancient times on earth, but the street lights were only at some intersections, and the constant shuttle carriages and the lively pedestrians around made Cook find that the inner city was so lively.
Cook looked all the way and found that the rows here were all nobles with guards, of course, there were some lone wanderers wearing some metal badges, these lone wanderers were all fully armed, and they also went in and out of some weapon shops and taverns or something, but Cook was very surprised that the buildings here were almost two-storey, and there were no more than three-story buildings.
"Alright, you rest here, Kidd, and they'll be handed over to you. Viscount Locke took Cook and his group of five new people to a seemingly large hotel, showed his identity badge, and then asked Kidd to take the five Cook people to live here, and Viscount Locke then took Quiv and Naris and left, of course, the mounts, equipment and everything were placed in the hotel.
"Well, little ones, I would like to give you two words of advice, don't read too much, don't say more, if you don't want to trouble, it's as simple as that. Kidd took the five of them to a room, which had a large fireplace, of course, not needed now, and a couple of wooden beds with a straw mat on them, no way, the weather now doesn't need a quilt, and then Kidd didn't know where to find a water bladder, but it was obviously not water in the water bladder, because Cook had already smelled a smell of wine, and then Kidd sat down and said.
"Yes!" the guys replied.
"Alright, it's time for dinner, I'll go see what's delicious, don't worry, there's a viscount, you can eat with your belly open, let's go, little ones!" Kidd looked at the obedient agreement of the few people, so he stood up and said to the others, and then made a gesture to follow.
