Ska stuck his head out of the carriage window and grabbed Xu Jun as soon as he reached out his hand. His cheeks were red and he looked really anxious. Xu Jun was almost dragged down by him, he quickly pulled out his sword to hold it on the ground, and grabbed the mane of the horse in front of him with one hand to stop the momentum of the carriage.
Fortunately, the groom is not driving fast, after all, it is in the city.
The white horse that was caught by Xu Jun neighed loudly.
Only then did Ska calm down, and jumped directly out of the carriage window (… ), causing the sparse pedestrians on the street to turn their heads back and forth. The carriage was also slanted by him, and the coachman was in a panic.
The other white horse barked loudly, as if mocking his hapless companion.
The carriages used by the nobles here are very different from the ancient carriages and sedan chairs Xu Jun saw in the TV series. They are more like a modified version of the ancient Western chariots. They are smaller, lighter, and more gorgeous and delicate. The loose lace curtain, Ska easily jumped out from the inside.
He is also very particular about what he wears, which is completely different from when he was running around as a knight. Back then, Ska was well-equipped, but now he is a well-fitted dress. If you look closely, the fabric is still magic cloth. The favorite of low-level legal warriors.
Many middle-level mages from civilian backgrounds take a few years to get a robe wrapped in magic cloth, but Ska, a knight, usually wears magic cloth.
A huge line of words popped up in Xu Jun's mind: Capitalism of all evil!
-This! It is the goal that the classless (three) property (light) class is bound to defeat!
Of course, Ska didn't know what Xu Jun was thinking, or that in his eyes, Xu Jun was the big local tyrant who was looked up to. Xu Jun spent thousands of gold coins in their herbal medicine shop every minute to buy herbal medicines, many of which were still He already knows about the high-end condiments, which is a big deal! Even a nobleman like him couldn't just take out a few thousand gold coins to buy herbs!
The Toloman family is rich, but it is the family's money. The young people below them only have a hundred and ten gold pocket money a month. There is no other reason. The purchasing power of gold coins in this world is very high, no matter how much money there is. If you do, you need to worry about whether these young people will go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.
The Toloman family's family style is relatively strict.
"Where are the two knights with you?" Xu Jun looked left and right, but did not see Gauss and Mike standing aside, only Ska was here.
Ska scratched his head, and asked Xu Jun to get on the carriage while explaining the fast, and regardless of whether the carriage was a one-person carriage, it was impossible to hold two people: "Senior Xu Jun, I'm in trouble, you understand the War of the Roses. Is it? It's that party style where nobles fight each other called banquets that are actually duels..."
After his explanation, Xu Jun probably understood the situation.
Human civilians in this world have their own ways of fighting, such as shrew scolding the streets and fighting, which mostly happens in the marketplace. Human nobles, on the other hand, must uphold an elegant character, and of course they can't fight casually.
Scholars can use debates to "fight", and warriors can fight through duels.
The nobles gave their debates or duels a name, called the "Wars of the Roses". A fight is still a fight, and a fight is still a fight, but it must be resolved in an elegant banquet. The relatives and friends of both parties should be invited to witness in advance, the venue should be arranged, and the banquet should be prepared, so that the parties can have a happy duel, and at the same time, the onlookers can also eat and drink.
If Xu Jun said it, it would be a pain in the ass. If people in this world had to pick a day to support the arena before fighting, then there would be world peace, and there would be no fight.
But what does this have to do with Ska
Ska grabbed Xu Jun's hand: "Senior Xu Jun, my friend Kerr got into a lot of trouble! The opponent asked him to duel! That Lalke from the Lange family! He actually invited two seniors. Mage!!!"
He clicked his tongue fiercely: "It's too despicable, he is obviously an intermediate knight, and it's just right to fight Cole alone, but this guy just wanted to make things worse, and he even invited foreign aid... But Senior Xu Jun , we... we can't beat the senior mages QAQ"
Xu Jun: "...then don't take the duel book..."
Ska shook his head decisively: "No, that guy was rude to Cole's sister and said ugly things. Cole was angry and immediately ended the duel, and even the time and place were decided by the opponent. This time he really... Too reckless."
"Kor is the youngest son of the city lord of Montama City, and the Lange family where Lalke belongs is in the Golden Banner Empire, so this duel not only represents the individual, but also the city of Montama and the Golden Banner Empire." Ska calmed down and explained the background of both parties in the duel. It sounded that he also had a lot of opinions about the Lange family, but he just didn't want to gossip behind his back.
Hearing this, it is estimated that only Mengxin who has never played the game can't understand what it means - this is a task!
Xu Jun thinks about it, if this is still the game world, it is estimated that this quest is a side quest, which may have nothing to do with the main quest. But the real world and the game world are still different. Now he mainly wants to find out about the bishop of the Mondama City Church, but after thinking about it, maybe he can take this task.
Most of the comments he has heard about Bishop Carloman so far come from the commoners, which may be a bit one-sided. However, the only nobles he knew in Mondama City were Ska and his friends, all of whom were noble children from the Golden Banner Empire, not the original residents of Mondama City, so many things might not be clear.
And according to Ska, both parties to this duel are the youngest son of the city lord of Mondama... This is a good opportunity.
So Xu Jun took over the task neatly, but instead of getting into the carriage, he and Ska rode on the two white horses that were originally used to pull the carriage. Ska looked a little embarrassed, but didn't say anything.
Xu Jun's stomach growled, and Ska said, "Have you had dinner yet, senior? Let's eat together. The duel is set in the Hehuan Garden, and there is everything there."
Xu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Hehuan Garden sounds very high-end, and it is the difference between a five-star hotel and a low-end roadside hotel. Xu Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Then I'll go to help first, you can go first. Jess, take it with you. Son, find a hotel and stay first."
Jace, who couldn't find the hotel at all: "…"
Lance opened his big blue eyes and looked like he was about to cry: "Dad, are you going to leave us?"
Xu Jun looked even more pitiful when he saw that his body was still dirty. He kept his mouth open to cry, as if he was abandoning his wife and children. If he was a child of several years old, it would be very distressing. It's a pity that this child is too anxious to grow up, and looks like he is thirteen or fourteen years old after he becomes a humanoid.
The sound of Dad still made Xu Jun's heart soften, and he simply carried Lance to the horse.
The white horse suddenly trembled. It is also a good horse out of a hundred. Not to mention two men in leather armor, even two heavily armored soldiers can run, but I don’t know why this light-looking boy got on it. Back, it doesn't know how to go.
I felt cold all over, as if I was being targeted by... some carnivorous beast _(:зゝ∠)_
Xu Jun also wanted to take his son to ride the big horse, but the big horse didn't move, and in the end he had no choice but to ride on the steamed bun.
Mantou said angrily and said a string of horse language, probably meaning that you remember me now
Xu Jun and Lance went to ride Mantou, and Mantou flicked his tail to show his appreciation. And Jace rode on the big white horse. Maybe because the unicorn and the horse were indeed related by blood in the distant ancient times, the white horse was ridden by Jace, and he was instantly refreshed.
So in the end, it was originally Xu Jun who went to the meeting alone, but turned into a group of three people with steamed buns to participate in the competition (rubbing) and fighting (rice).
Xu Jun thought about the strength of his group. It's not a bun, just Jace and Lance... He suddenly felt full of sympathy for Ska and that Cole's enemy.
The two of them rode white horses and crossed the trade area from the center of Mondama City, all the way to the luxury area. This is probably the only place that has not been affected at the moment when the black disease is raging.
I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of being disturbed by the poor, the periphery of the luxury area is all fenced off. The green shrubs are well trimmed to form a green wall, and the branches are entwined with brightly colored flowers. This is an independent block, with the church and the city lord's mansion in front, and a villa area in the back, and civilians will not come here.
Moreover, Xu Jun also keenly found that there is another layer of "protection" here, and the entire luxury area is actually covered with low-level invisible runes!
The effect of low-level invisible runes is not good, it can only play a role in reducing the sense of existence, and cannot directly make living things "disappear" like the high-level invisible runes sent by Xu Jun before, but this luxury area of the city does not need it. get to that point. To be able to cover the entire luxury area, maybe just to separate the nobles and the commoners to do this, is really a big deal.
A frivolous laughter could be heard in the distance from the luxurious area surrounded by greenery.
The voice was clearly made by a young man, hoarse and somewhat drab, and Ska frowned almost as soon as he heard the laughter.
They finally rode to the entrance of the luxury area, where the barriers of green trees were separated, forming a door that looked a little natural, but it was a strange place inside.
This is a completely different place from the other neighborhoods in Montama City.
This contrast is especially strong for Xu Jun and his party, who have just come out of the slum.
It was bright and soft. It was obviously daytime, but there were still magic lights on both sides of the street. The street was wide and smooth. The sunlight and lights shone on the ground, faintly reflecting the light of fine stars. The ground was actually inlaid with broken crystals.
The manor is like a royal garden, while the villa is like a palace. The only sense of disobedience appeared to some people standing inside. I saw a young man about the same age as Ska who was touching his chin and looking over: "Yo, Sika. The card is here? Have you found your foreign aid?"
"Oh, why did you find a group of civilian adventurers as thugs? Would you like me to introduce you to two intermediate knights? Hahaha!"
The author has something to say: Ska: Senior Xu Jun, look this is the luxury area...
Xu Jun: Oh, I can't control my hands anymore!
