Chapter 0772 here again
"Wow, this is different from the Hanfeng City I have been to before!"
While Zhou Qingfeng was inspecting the craftsman area, the spy Powell was riding a passenger carriage through the south gate of Hanfeng City. As his vision gradually expanded from the narrow door opening, a brand new city appeared in front of him.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Hanfeng City has completely changed.
The bumpy roads were repaved with thick stone slabs, and the narrow street entrance was widened two or three times for two directions. The houses on the roadside were basically renovated, and some were simply pushed down and built with two or three floors of large houses.
Every detail of the city is different, the biggest thing is that the momentum of replacing old and new is unstoppable.
The passenger carriage drove to a special passenger station and stopped at a fixed platform. The platform has not been completely repaired, and workers are often coming and going. However, the hotels selling food and accommodation have been built first.
Powell landed on his feet, and immediately someone came over and yelled at the guest, "Sir, do you want to stay? We have a separate large bed, hot water at night, and cooked food all day.
There are also sexual services, the best products in the North, and absolutely aristocratic experience. Approved by the Lord, they are all legal and compliant."
What the hell is this?
The shouting sounded so familiar, making people feel like they were back to Harmony Village. It was so lively there. The bar provided accommodation services for adventurers, and the mud legs of the guests were particularly good at speaking, and even the tone was exactly the same.
"Do you want to open up any new adventure map?" Powell asked frowned, "and he would also sell me mysterious adventure secrets, and sell me a lot of food, drink, defecation and urination supplies."
The solicitor was immediately overjoyed, "Sir, it seems that you are our old customer. You must have been to Harmony Village, right? Everything is fine in our village, and it is still the most praised adventurers gathering area in Black Forest.
In order to expand our business, we went to Hanfengcheng to open a branch. But there was no adventure in the city hotel, and we paid more attention to the living experience.
If you need it, we provide Dianping on the Fengyue Street in the city. It is the hottest information, ensuring that every gold you spend is worth a lot. A man like you must be an unusual man.”
The solicitor smiled and took out the roll of paper from his pocket.
When Powell saw this thing, he was like encountering a snake and scorpion. He jumped up to stop him and said, "Stop, don't play this with me again. I've been fooled once, and I will never go to it again for the second time."
Before Powell finished speaking, he turned around and ran away, fearing that he would be dragged to the forging ground to make a blacksmith after a step slower. He never wanted to hear the sound of anvils and hammers again in his life.
But as soon as the spy left, the tall and thin Johnson and the magic pet Dudu came down from the carriage. The owl was suffocated to death in the carriage. After coming out, it flapped its wings and took off and swayed around it.
The solicitor also promoted hotel accommodation to Johnson, using the most considerate and warmest service in his home as his buying point. The latter was also greatly surprised by the changes in the city.
Half a year ago, when Powell and Johnson fled from Cold Wind City, the city was transforming everywhere. Unexpectedly, it was not over half a year later, and there was even a tendency to become more and more intense.
This passenger station is something that has never been done before. In the past, passengers were just up and down the city gate, and outsiders had to find ways to stay. Hotels have always been a place where dirt is hidden in the city, and there are endless things to cheat and steal.
Now, there is a big sign written on the platform where the passenger station drops off.
"Lord of Victor Hugo in the cold wind city protects the legitimate interests and safety of every foreign passenger. The city's law enforcement department firmly cracks down on any illegal and criminal acts. If you have any questions, you can consult the station staff."
Considering that most people are illiterate at all, there are people wearing uniforms on the platform who repeatedly publicize the laws that must be followed in Hanfeng City to outsiders, and how to appeal to the management department on the spot if you have any trouble.
Since the Lord Lord rode the ground dragon around the city every few days, the rules he set were not very good at the moment. The city was not very big, and the management boundaries did not exceed his activity limit.
Johnson was very interested in this, and he turned his head and shouted at his run away companion, "Hey, Powell, come and see. Victor Hugo has come up with a new trick."
Powell stood in the distance, unmoved.
But the enthusiastic solicitor's face sank, and he warned Johnson unhappily: "Sir, it is very impolite to call the Lord's name in Hanfeng City."
Johnson was stunned and looked at the guest solicitor in front of him carefully. This was an ordinary poor man, not tall, not strong, and wearing rags, and he couldn't tell what he could do.
But it was such a poor ghost who dared to threaten the high caster. He also said viciously: "Remind, don't treat ignorance as interesting. Lord Lord certainly doesn't care about your disrespect, but we don't allow it."
Johnson looked at it carefully and found that this was an ordinary poor man who could not be more ordinary. The wrinkles on his face represent a painful origin, a dark face represents poverty, and a short figure means he has been living at the bottom.
But it was such a poor man. He stared at Johnson with a stern face and warned the latter not to be rude to the Lord's illusionist who was even a little afraid of the illusionist who was arrogant. After all, this cold wind city became strange after falling into Hugo's hands.
After trying a warning as soon as he entered the city, Johnson had to take a few steps back and compromise with a poor man. He quickly approached Powell and whispered in anger: "Are all the people in this city controlled by mind?
They dared to threaten a noble caster like me. Can't they see the wizard robe I was wearing? I'm not an ordinary person. They should kneel down and serve me."
Johnson was complaining in a low voice, looking around, always feeling that the people in the city around him were staring at him. This feeling of being so lit up on his back was particularly uncomfortable, as if he was being monitored all the time.
Powell stood at the exit of the passenger station, and he took out ten copper coins to buy a newspaper from a stall. When Johnson came over, he complained unhappily, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"I can't believe my eyes. I haven't seen this city for half a year, but I actually made a newspaper." Powell shook the crude papyrus in his hand. "This newspaper was copied by hand, and it was copied in four pages."
Newspapers in Hanfeng City are regularly distributed, usually only once every six or seven days. Only one thousand copies are released per issue. Since there is no cheap paper and no printing technology is done, all newspapers rely on hand copying.
"What's in this newspaper?" Johnson squeezed over and looked at it.
Papyrus is pressed by grass stems, which is particularly crude and inconvenient to write. The newspaper layout of Hanfengcheng is also messy and it is quite laborious to read.
However, the front page headlines are still very clear. Lord Hugo announced that in order to reduce the mortality rate of infants and mothers, women must be required to get married to over 18 years old. Women with unqualified physical conditions are also prohibited from getting married.
The newspaper also detailed the harm of women getting married and having children too early, listed detailed data, and concluded by giving punishments that force women to marry early, those who will be driven out of Hanfeng City and even sentenced to death.
After reading this, Powell and Johnson both felt that Victor Hugo was meddling in other people's business. In the past, nobility never had such laws, and even encouraged early marriage.
