After Benedict handed the invitation to Beta, he casually said a few polite words and left. He seemed very afraid of being with Beta for too long.
And Beta did a simple wash, the water in the desert is rare and very precious, so the water provided by the hotel is not much. After doing these little things, Beta ate the jerky provided by the hotel and walked out of the hotel.
Aristocrats are very concerned about face. Under normal circumstances, they would not do this kind of thing while eating and walking. But Beta is different. Even though he is now a lord, even if his current status is considered to be the upper class of nobility, he is still a player in his bones.
No matter how elegant and courteous a player is on the surface, deep down, they still have the style and habit of doing whatever they want.
Beta walked out of the hotel, swallowed the last bite of jerky, looked around, and found that the atmosphere in the city was a bit weird.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the sky, and the coolness of the desert night had not completely dissipated. If it was normal, many vendors should have occupied both sides of the road at this time, and began to shout their business loudly.
But at this time, there were only a few small vendors on both sides of the street, and their expressions were obviously a little melancholy.
It was clear that something had happened in the city, affecting people throughout the city.
Beta thought for a while, returned to the hotel, and asked one of the attendants.
It turns out that the matter is very simple. According to the experience of hundreds of years in the past, there will be a heavy rain lasting about ten days during this period, and light rain, which is commonly known as the desert rainy season.
Today is the last day of the rainy season in the desert. If there is no heavy rain, it may take four months before there will be new rain.
Beta felt a little strange after hearing this: "I remember that there is an oasis on the north side of the city, where there is sufficient water source, and it should last for four months, there should be no problem."
"The amount of water in the oasis is less than one-third." The attendant said worriedly: "And it's the Lord's water. When there is a lot of water, he can let us use it, but now the water is running out. The Lord has already had enough water in the early morning. Send people to surround the oasis, except for nobles, ordinary people are forbidden to fetch water."
Beta left the worried attendant, he went out of the hotel again, and then wandered the streets.
The unique talent of the god-born nobles, 'internal affairs' once again took effect. Beta observed the layout of the city, listened to the conversations of the citizens, and quietly checked the quantity and whereabouts of the goods on the streets or in the shops. The information was collected by the system, and then sorted and screened in the internal affairs system, and finally get conclusion.
Beta seemed to be wandering the streets aimlessly, but as time passed, more and more information was obtained from the interface of the internal affairs system. By the evening, the internal affairs system had sorted out some things.
City: Perth City
Belongs to: Sunland
Lord: Cole Middleton
Population: 200,000 (estimated)
Special products: cactus fruit, placer gold
Cleanliness: 42
Happiness: 59
Guard strength: 4500 (estimated)
Looking at the basic attributes of the city, Beta narrowed his eyes. The current city lord's management ability is not good, and his happiness is only 59, which is not even the passing mark. It's hard to believe that there are no riots in this city.
But it’s normal to think about it. If a city lord who knows how to manage, such as Beta, encounters such a severe drought, he will indeed control the water source, but it is an evenly distributed control. Everyone can go to the water source every day to get a certain amount of water. A large amount of water ensures the most basic living conditions. After all, if a person does not drink water for a day, it is easy to go wrong.
Then he would send people to look for water sources outside, and even use his own private money to organize teams to transport water from other places.
Rather than being like the city lord of Perth, only the nobles are allowed to fetch water, and they have never heard of the life and death of civilians.
In view of this reason, Beta suddenly felt a little disgusted with the city lord of Perth. Even so, he still has to go to the later banquet. Until now, he has not found any clues in this city, and there is no movement from the mouse, which means that he may need to stay here for a long time. for a long time.
In this case, contact with local nobles is essential. And this banquet is an opportunity for him to enter the circle of local aristocrats, or he can find some useful news from these local aristocrats.
He went back to the hotel and used magic materials to create an enchanted ruby.
When the night got darker, he walked to the City Lord's Mansion.
Unlike the gray rock castles in other countries, the City Lord's Mansion in Perth is a sand-shaped building with a white dome.
The sand can be made into sand sculptures, and then solidified with earth magic. In this way, you can build a strong castle step by step. There are two earth-fire dual-line magicians in Perth City. It is very simple to do such a thing.
The city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and Beta walked in after showing the invitation to the waiter at the door.
In fact, he didn't have to show the invitation card, and he had the right to go in. After all, he was wearing a magician's robe, which in itself was the final proof of pass.
As soon as you enter, you will see the welcome hall of the City Lord's Mansion. There are many people standing in it, divided into small groups. They talked very quietly, although there were many people, they did not appear to be noisy.
The servants of the City Lord's Mansion walked quickly and gracefully between them. Most of them were women with wheat-colored skin, and their average appearance was not bad. Occasionally, when noble hands fell on certain parts of their bodies, they would flirtatiously Smile, the spring scars are all there.
This is the normal state that most noble banquets will have, it's just the difference between obvious and not.
Sunland has a bold and unrestrained style, and it is even more vigorous in this respect.
Most of the guests in the venue are nobles, of course they are mainly small nobles, and there are also some wealthy businessmen. The vast majority of them are natives of Sunland with black skin, and there are also a small number of foreigners with white skin.
Beta's dazzling bright golden hair attracted many people's attention as soon as she entered the venue.
With aristocratic temperament and talent, coupled with the status of a magician, Beta is like a night pearl rolling into a pile of fireflies, making it impossible to move one's eyes away.
The nobles began to whisper to each other, asking each other who this person was.
But a few well-informed nobles already know the approximate identity of Beta. After all, even the rats can know the news, these nobles can figure it out with a little effort.
What's more, Sunland is bordered by Hollevin, and Perth City can be regarded as a traffic artery leading to Hollevin. It is also normal for the nobles here to inquire about news from neighboring countries. The most important thing is that Beta is not well-known among ordinary people, but is well-known among the upper classes of Hollevin.
Beta entered the meeting place, and within ten seconds of standing there, Benedict left the object of his conversation and came to the front of Beta.
"Thank you very much for coming, Your Excellency." Benedict bowed first: "Please wait a moment, the Santo will come out soon."
Beta nodded.
"Your Excellency, please follow me. The lord has already prepared a place for you. As you, you shouldn't stay in such a noisy place."
After speaking, Benedict led the way, and Beta followed.
The guests in the welcome hall almost all watched the two pass through the hall, and then went up to the second floor. When the figures of the two of them disappeared at the stairs, the guests were a little excited.
They knew very well that Benedict, a spellcaster, had the highest status in Perth except for the lord. Although everyone knew that Aisha was stronger than him, Aisha was Women, and in Sunland, women's status is not high, so Aisha's deterrence, and even real power, are a little smaller than Benedict's.
Seeing Benedict showing a humble look in front of this young man, this made more people curious about Beta's true identity.
Going up the stairs, Beta was led to a wing room, Benedict tapped lightly, very regularly, it seemed to be a secret signal, and the door opened after a while, and Aisha's photo with an exotic flavor appeared. pretty face.
"Your Excellencies, please come in." Aisha moved aside sideways, while twisting her waist slightly, very coquettishly.
The two entered the room, and Benedict asked Beta to sit at the main seat.
Beta originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the relaxed expressions of these two people, she seemed a little embarrassed, and then sat on the main seat according to what they said.
Sunland's class is very strict, a little more serious than Hollevin. Beta is a master-level powerhouse. Among the three, he is the most exaggerated. He does not take the main seat, and the other two dare not sit .
After Beta sat down, Aisha breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Beta, you are so powerful. Not only are you a master-level powerhouse at a young age, but you are also the senior bishop of the Wojin Temple. Teach us, how to improve our strength faster?"
Hearing this, Beta knew that the two people in front of him already knew their identities.
This is normal, even the 'rats' here can inquire about Beta's news. As magicians, it's not too difficult for them to find out.
Benedict was a little nervous. Improving his strength quickly is a secret that every spellcaster is eager to know. Those who know it will not say it casually, and most people will not ask casually.
And Aisha is a beautiful woman, and beautiful women always have some privileges.
Benedict knew very well that if he asked such a question, the consequences would generally not be very good, but if the beauty asked, even if the other party was unwilling to answer, he would not be so angry.
Now there is still some time before the banquet officially starts, Beta thought for a while, and said: "My method is not suitable for you, but I know a method that can be used by almost everyone. If you want to hear it, I can give it to you. Say it."
"really?"
The eyes of the two spell casters lit up, and Aisha just asked casually, which was the opening remark to break the silence. She didn't expect the other party to agree, but now she had a pleasant surprise.
"I don't know if you have heard of the magic creation training method?" (.)
