723. Story
The walls of Columbia adopt a double-layer circular architectural style.
Even if the outer wall is broken, the inner wall can be restructured.
Most cities in the Holy Empire are built with this type of wall structure. In a dangerous world, one more chance means more vitality. Especially in the season when ferocious beasts reproduce, extra ferocious beasts are often excluded, and these ferocious beasts will also have an impact on human survival. Not to mention, some giant dragons wandering around without being restricted by common sense.
However, since the construction of the town of Columbia, the inner protective wall has never been used.
It is located below the imperial capital.
There have been many civil strife in the Holy Empire, but none of them really threatened the imperial capital. Other ferocious beasts, even the wandering powerful dragons, will be driven away before they get close to the imperial capital.
This comfort led the Earl in charge of the town of Colum to make a decision to completely move the army into the gap between the two walls and settle down.
This decision led to him not having to pay a lot of money. Before this, the guards were placed in the wild area to cultivate their combat qualities and experience. But the Earl did not think that this thing was useful. Under the protection of the great sacred imperial capital, the town of Columbia did not need to cultivate its own strength.
The workers who carried the bodies were also placed in this area, but they were arranged in the corner of the edge, occupying only a small area, which seemed a little dilapidated compared to the military houses.
Rebs led Ranfrik to their cottage.
"This is where we live in the future." Rebs introduced to Ranfrek, "Although the place is a bit dilapidated, the people living here have good personalities."
As the leader of the porter, his personality mostly affects the personalities of the people under his command.
Ranfrik sniffed his nose and muttered, "Is there wine inside?"
"You are convinced, this is a little benefit given to us by the nobles. After all, what you do is such a dirty and tiring job, and it's really not OK to order wine." Rebs pushed open the door.
The old wooden door made a clamor when it was pushed open.
Everyone who was resting on the table was all staring at.
"There are two hours of rest every day at noon. You can go to work at 8 o'clock in the morning and go to work at 7 o'clock in the evening. Now it's the time to rest." Rebs introduced to Ranfrek.
"Lao Lei has a good personality, but the time for this work needs to be changed. It would be great if it was changed from 9 to 5." Someone joked.
"Why are you doing well? You're dreaming in broad daylight?" Rebs simply replied.
"If Lao Lei introduces this, it means that new people join. This is great. With people sharing the burden, it can finally relieve some work pressure."
"Is the newcomer shy? Why haven't you come in yet?"
It has always been a tradition to tease newcomers.
But the next second, the moment Ranfrik walked in, the teasing sound came to an abrupt end. Everyone gasped and widened their eyes and felt their scalp numb.
They seemed to have teased a noble just now!
Lao Lei was not surprised by the reactions of these people.
In fact, even he thought that Ranfrik was a real value aristocrat.
But no matter how much I think about it, I still have to explain it to my subordinates.
"His name is Ranfrik, and he claims to be a bard."
"Isn't a nobleman?" someone whispered to him and asked.
"I don't know this, but whether it is a noble or not, he came here to work voluntarily, but we just need to provide wine. In short, if you take them to continue to get along, I will continue to recruit workers."
After saying that, Rebs left with an excuse. Although he said so verbally, he actually suspected that Ranfrik was a nobleman who had nothing to do.
"Do you want wine?"
After hearing what Lao Lei said, someone handed over a bottle of wine.
It was just a way of presentation, but it couldn't help but seem respectful, bent over and held the wine bottle in both hands.
"certainly."
Ranfrik took the bottle, opened the bottle naturally, and poured it into his mouth. This action destroyed his noble temperament and also made everyone present relieve. The oppression like a great noble just now made them tremble and wanted to speak, but they were worried about offending each other.
"Are you really aristocrat?"
"Did it count?" Ranfrik replied. He was indeed a nobleman who was the son of a duke in the world. But when he came to this world, he probably didn't count.
Everyone understood. From Ranfrik's explanation, they subconsciously believed that Ranfrik was the concubine's son of a great nobleman. When the concubine's son became an adult, if the nobleman in charge could not be the help of the family, he would be released. Such a move was naturally for the stability of the family. The porters knew about this because their leader Rebs was a noble son.
After knowing what happened to Ranfrik, everyone's sense of uneasiness also dropped, and many resting workers came over.
"Are you really a bard now?" Someone asked Ranfrik a question.
"Yes, this is one of my interests. I have a lot of research on fun and stories, but what I am best at is telling dirty jokes."
"Tell me a little bit."
Ranfrik smiled and muttered, "There was a creature that liked to eat blood. They were called vampires. One day a female vampire caught a man. The man begged her to let him go. For this reason, he was willing to give all his treasures. But this begging did not work. The female vampire only likes blood, so the man could only beg him to choose a place to be sucked. After a while, the female vampire asked strangely, why is your blood white? The man replied, maybe it was because I was healthy."
After listening, the men showed meaningful smiles.
Originally, there was a distance between Ranfrik and everyone, but as soon as the story was told, the distance was narrowed.
Sometimes, a man’s friendship is so simple.
"Next, I'm going to tell a story about a little horror," Ranfrik said with a pressing voice.
"It's as scary as before? Actually, I'm afraid when I hear it!" Someone said righteously.
"No, I'm talking about the horror story that happened in the town of Columb."
"It's better not to say these things in this business."
Doing this job is considered to be a companion with misfortune.
If you still tell some unfortunate stories, it will always bring a bit strange.
