Ferelden is a hilly city in the east of Golden Amber Kingdom. The city is not big in size, but not small either. Its area has reached half of Bansai City.
However, Ferelden is rich in resources, but the people are very poor, simply because there are many thieves in the area.
Among the thieves, headed by the Hundred Man Killer, the Hundred Man Killer was so powerful that it had formed a force organization like a warlord, which also made the people here miserable.
Ferelden is referred to as Philadelphia. In addition to Philadelphia, there is also the city of Mo. This city is Mo Gaolei. Originally, the high priest planned to let Li Hugo go to Mo City to be the consul, but unexpectedly, the emperor Xiang Tian suddenly took action. , one of his cronies went to Meucheng to be consul, and Li Hugo was assigned to Philadelphia.
The weather was sunny and cloudless at this time, and Li Hugo felt a familiar feeling after arriving in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia in front of me is like the former Nalan City. The city walls are damaged and the people are withered. It is completely a refugee concentration camp. There is no appearance of a city. Is it enough to see that this place is often visited by bandits
This was also the result of the discussion between the high priest and Li Hugo. To deal with the Hundred Man Killer legitimately, one must have the status of a consul, and Li Hugo was forced to agree.
Li Yuguo for the book of life and death.
The high priest Le Bang is looking for the murderer who killed the old priest.
So the two reached a temporary alliance. When they left Bansai City, the pretty girl Gong Chuchu came to say goodbye. Originally, she wanted to go to Philadelphia with Li Hugo, but Li Hugo refused. After all, Philadelphia is full of thieves and dangers. She is a princess. It is also very dangerous here, so the safest place for her is the palace.
Although she was worried about being forced into marriage by Gong Xiangtian, it was still half a year before Gong Chuchu came of age, so Gong Chuchu didn't have to worry about marriage at least in this half year.
Li Yuguo also brought a lot of people with him on this trip, or in other words, he took away all the people here, that is, the Blackwater Bandits. In addition to these people, the high priest also prepared a lot of servants for Li Huguo And the maids, among them Delly, is naturally the leader of the maids, after all, her eyes are here.
"Master, yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before..." Delly said. It turned out that Delly had encountered the ambiguous scene between Li Huguo and Le Bang. She thought Li Huguo was a good person, so that night, she prepared to rest at Li Huguo. At that time, three enchanting dancers came to Li Huguo's room and asked Li Huguo to dance.
This frightened Li Yuguo to the point where he had goosebumps all over his body.
For Delly, the sexual preferences of nobles and ministers are diverse, and it is a trivial matter for men to like men. For example, the Minister of Agriculture does not like people, but likes... heifers.
It’s okay to like heifers, but one of the Pharaoh’s most trusted captains of guards actually doesn’t like living people, but likes mummies!
Naturally, Li Hugo couldn't understand these confusing behaviors of humans, but seeing that Delly was also kind-hearted to make him happy, he didn't pursue it. After all, there was nothing to pursue.
"Another vampire has come, the Lord Angman from last time. He took away all the last savings of our people and the value of them rose smoothly. I thought our good days were coming, but unexpectedly another vampire came..."
A large group of people had gathered at the gate of the city. They were all muttering to each other, apparently thinking that Li Yuguo was coming with bad intentions and that he, like other officials, was here to exploit them.
"Yes, look at this sir, he is still a foreigner. The girl next to him has purple eyes, which means... she is a noble. I am afraid they are here to gild. After a few years of trouble here, they will go smoothly. Promotion must be like this! That’s right!”
"Hard times are coming again. Now that we have no income, how can we get the spare money to honor them? It's miserable!"
"In a while, the robbers who killed hundreds of people will come to collect rent again. How are we going to live our lives?"
Common people, your words and mine are full of compassion and touching.
"These bastards!" the one-eyed snake said, about to go up and beat them up, but was stopped by Li Hugo. Li Hugo said: "If you're not busy, let's go to the city lord's mansion to take a look first."
"These people are so talkative. Our boss is a good person, huh!" One-eyed Snake was very angry. Ever since Li Hugo rescued the three brothers, they can be said to be loyal to Li Hugo.
Because Gong Xiangtian wanted to deal with them at that time, Li Yuguo had no need to help. Gong Xiangtian was the eldest son of the Pharaoh and the future Pharaoh!
Most people would probably choose to sacrifice the three brothers, but Li Yuguo protected them and confronted Gong Xiangtian directly.
So they have no reason to betray Li Hugo.
Arriving at the Archon's Hall, Li Yuguo was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The Archon's Hall is also the city lord's palace. It was supposed to be a palace building full of exotic customs. Now there is no palace anywhere. It is completely in ruins.
There were rocks and rubble everywhere, and the ground was overgrown with weeds, making it unbearable to look at.
In this abandoned compound, there was an old man sweeping the floor. Li Huguo got off the camel and handed the reins to Delly. Delly nodded and led the camel to the door: "Hey, there are all sinks here. Not one? This is too shabby... "
"Hey, Miss Delly, wait a minute. I'll go outside and buy some fodder. Our camels have been walking for several days. We can't live without water and grass." The one-eyed snake shook his head and said. He was very angry. If it weren't for Li Hugo being here, I'm afraid he's about to curse.
What the hell kind of city is this? It’s just a ruin! Ya's Gong Xiangtian was targeting Li Yuguo, asking his cronies to go to Mo City to be the city lord, but asked Li Yuguo to come over and clean up this mess.
Looking outside the hall, I saw that there was no city outside. It was just... a slum!
Li Hugo said: "My father-in-law, I am the new consul. Is this the consul's hall?"
"Yes, I am the clerk here." The old man raised his head, with a face that looked like tree bark, which was impressive and made Li Hugo dumbfounded.
"Are you a clerk?" Li Yuguo was surprised. This is not a clerk. The clerk is also the second-in-command after all. This guy... is simply a beggar. His clothes are ragged and his face is covered with dirt. His hair is white. He was pale, but there was dust and dander on his head, and he still had a sour smell.
"The former consul left after he had made enough money... It's no coincidence for you that there is very little money in Philadelphia now." The old man said with a smile. He seemed to have determined that Li Huguo was also that kind of person.
Li Huguo smiled. He took out five silver coins and put them in the old man's hand: "Go buy some clothes, and then go to the big bathhouse to take a bath."
"Ah?" The old man was dumbfounded.
