The carriage bore the emblems of the Fergus family and the Harris family. Without any obstruction, the team drove unimpeded into the city of Sidney and entered a lively main road that was large enough for six carriages to travel in parallel.
On both sides of the road, there are neatly planned houses, built with stone materials, lined up side by side, and neatly surrounded on both sides of the road.
Most of them are one-layer structures, but there are also two-layer structures, but they are relatively few.
The main road was extremely lively. Carriages were passing by, and the jingling of wind chimes on the carriages could be heard. After walking along the main road for a certain distance, they turned into a side road somewhere.
At the same time, there were a lot of shouts and bargains.
There are open-air stalls supported by wooden shelves near the houses on both sides. The stalls sell apples, bananas, grapes and other fruits, as well as beef, mutton, pork, etc., as well as many exquisite-looking jewelry.
There are also many stalls on two-wheeled trolleys, which are pushed and sold at the same time.
"Come and see, come and buy, authentic Yalu pears, sweet and thirst-quenching, not sweet and free of charge..."
"I'm selling apples, I'm selling apples. The apples I just picked today are absolutely fresh and absolutely delicious..."
"Crispy candy, crunchy and delicious crunchy candy, it makes a popping sound when you bite into it."
…
When a cart pushing crunchy candies passed by the carriage, Sarah's eyes stared straight at the crunchy candies on the trolley. Her eyes followed the cart and she swallowed in her mouth. saliva.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat crunchy candy..."
Then, she looked away from the trolley with difficulty, looked at Gray next to her expectantly, pushed Gray, and said coquettishly to Gray.
During this period, almost all of her monthly money was spent on various desserts and snacks in Fergus City, and sometimes she even ran out of money.
You must know that although her monthly income of ten silver coins is not much, it is enough for poor people to live for several years. But when it comes to her, it is not enough for a month. You can imagine how much she likes this kind of thing. Dessert snacks.
As for Gray himself, since he couldn't leave the castle at will, he basically couldn't spend his monthly money, so he would often give his own money to Sarah.
Gray patted Sarah's head lovingly, looked through the car window, and waved to the crunchy candy vendor pushing a trolley outside.
"Please come over here!"
"okay!"
The crunchy candy vendor pushing the trolley is an old man who is close to 50 years old, with brown hair that is slightly gray.
Hearing Gray's call, he immediately pushed the cart towards the Fergus family's carriage. The cavalry guarding the surroundings, because of Gray's voice, naturally let the old man approach.
"Master, would you like some crunchy candies?"
The old man approached the Fergus family's carriage and asked with a smile as he followed the carriage forward.
Because they had already entered the city, the carriage was not moving very fast.
Judging from his dress, he should not be able to make crispy candies. If nothing else, the crispy candies should have been made by a nearby dessert shop, and he was only hired to help sell them.
"Well, I want twenty copper coins."
Gray nodded, counted 20 copper coins from his leather bag, and handed them to the old man.
The old man has a rope on his shoulder and is fixed to the cart. He can push the cart forward even without using his hands to push the cart.
After taking the copper coins and counting them carefully, a smile suddenly broke out on the old man's face.
Wrapped a pack of crunchy candies in paper and handed it to Gray respectfully.
"Father, Mrs. Milan, brother Boer, brother Ellis, sister Caroline..."
Gray reached out and took it, then spread it out and passed it around in the carriage.
Everyone reached out and took a piece, and Gray took a piece himself, and finally gave it all to Sarah, who was already looking forward to it.
Boom!
Put the piece in your hand to your mouth, bite it, and after a crisp sound, your mouth is immediately filled with sweetness and the taste of fried nuts.
It is indeed very delicious and crispy. Compared with the peanut candy in the previous life, it has a richer variety of nuts and is more crispy. It is obvious that the dessert shop spent a lot of energy on this.
In fact, based on the price of goods in this world, the price of crispy candy is already very high. Only merchant families and nobles can truly afford it.
Like the old man before, although he sells crispy candies, he may have never eaten them.
After walking along the main road for about half an hour, the buildings on both sides disappeared, and what appeared in front of us was a large flat grassland.
Everyone seemed to be walking into the wild, and only the wide road paved with stone slabs showed that this was not the wild but inside the city.
After walking forward for another ten minutes, a mountain that was slightly shorter in terms of mountains and slightly higher in terms of slopes appeared in front of us.
It is almost fifty or sixty meters high, with steep cliffs on three sides. Only the side facing the main road slopes upward.
At the top of the mountain, there is a large group of majestic buildings, almost more than a thousand meters long and wide, connected together and standing on the top of the mountain.
Among these buildings, there are spiers that are as high as five stories, others are slightly shorter than the spiers, but wider, clusters of dome buildings close together, and some that look like city walls, but in fact have the functions of city walls and houses. Long building.
On the top of the long building, at regular intervals, there is a yellow flag fluttering in the wind.
On top of the flag, there is a blood beast covered in bronze.
It has a thick torso, four huge and thick legs, a slightly long neck, and three sharp horns on its head, one on each side of the head, and one longer than the forehead, piercing the sky.
This is the appearance of a copper-backed dragon beast, almost exactly the same as described in the book and by Viscount Fergus, and this is naturally the Castle of Sidney where the Marquis of Sidney’s family is located!
Generally speaking, there are two types of castle construction locations, one is built outside the city, and the other is built inside the city.
For example, the Fergus family's castle was built on a steep hillside outside the city. It was adjacent to the city and served as horns to support each other.
When the city is attacked, the castle can send soldiers to support, and when the castle is attacked, the city can also send soldiers to support.
The other kind is like Sidney Castle, which is built in the city.
The advantage of this construction is that it can form two lines of defense. When the defense line constructed by the city is captured, it can immediately retreat to the second line of defense formed by the castle.
Moreover, this line of defense formed by the castle is easier to defend and harder to attack, and it is difficult to capture it in a short time.
The defense of two lines of defense can definitely delay the enemy for a long time, and this time is enough for support to arrive.
At the entrance to the castle on the hillside, there is a large flat ground, all paved with stone slabs.
When they got here, the carriage and cavalry stopped. Viscount Fergus took Gray and others out of the carriage, while Baron Harris took Lady Bess and Kevin out of the carriage.
At the entrance of the castle, more than ten people had already appeared there.
The leader was a blond young man in his twenties, wearing a sky blue dress with gold rims. The cuffs of the dress had the emblem of the Sidney family.
He is tall, but he does not look thin, and of course he is not fat. His body shape, neither fat nor thin, gives people a strong and capable look.
He has well-proportioned features and a handsome face, but he doesn't look like a "little boy". Instead, he has a bit of fortitude.
"Master Saroyan!"
"Master Saroyan!"
…
Seeing this man, Viscount Fergus saluted Baron Harris after saluting him.
Gray and others followed, but they all looked at the blond young man in front of them with some curious eyes. The same was true in Gray's eyes.
Before coming to Saroyan Castle, Viscount Fergus had introduced him to members of the Sidney family in advance, including this person.
Saroyan Sidney, the eldest son of the Sidney family, is also the most talented member of this generation of the Sidney family.
He started practicing blood magic at the age of 15. After practicing for four months, he became a low-level blood warrior. He became a mid-level blood warrior at the age of 16. He became a high-level blood warrior at the age of 17. I heard that he is not far from being a fierce blood warrior now, and may even be a fierce blood warrior. .
Although the reason for this is that the Marquis family is extremely rich in resources, its own talent and hard work obviously cannot be ignored.
It is said that he has been confirmed as the next successor of the Sidney family, but it has not been officially announced by the Sidney family.
"Uncle Emerson, Uncle Bloor, and everyone from the Fergus family and the Harris family, welcome you!"
Saroyan returned the greeting politely and greeted Gray and his party.
He is polite and has perfect etiquette. He can't find any faults. He doesn't show any arrogance that young people should have. Instead, he gives people an extremely calm and restrained feeling.
"You have come all the way and you must be tired. The residence has been prepared for you. Butler Moya and Butler Bana will take Uncle Emerson and Uncle Bloor to the residence."
Under the leadership of a middle-aged housekeeper, the Fergus family and the Harris family were taken to their residences in Sidney Castle. Their carriages and accompanying cavalry also had dedicated servants. They lead the way.
Following the housekeeper named Moa, Gray and others were taken to a two-story house.
The building is made of white stones, and its surface has been carefully polished to look like a sculpture made of a single piece of white jade.
The first floor has the hall, living room, kitchen and other places, while the second floor has the bedrooms, study and other places.
The house is already equipped with male and female servants, and even a dedicated chef.
Gray was amazed to see that this kind of treatment was simply too luxurious. Compared with it, the star-rated hotels in his previous life were incomparable. He really deserved to live like an aristocrat.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Well, I haven’t saved the manuscript, so I’m a bit miserable. My family is very lively. I don’t know if there is a time code for the chapter in the evening. If I can’t code it out, I’ll leave it behind. Sweat.
