This backward system that has been abandoned by human beings on earth is still alive in this other world.
Manigault sat irritably on a bench in a garden in a wealthy area, looking up at the blue sky wordlessly.
Manigault already has some general information about this world. This main continent is divided and ruled by two major religious forces. In some places, the power of theocracy even exceeds the secular kingship. When they were in the Royal Capital of Saxony, the temple they went to with the two Elric brothers was the western part of the Ruler's Continent. It has the five supreme gods as its religion. The teachings and ideas of the Holy Capital have always been to promote the balance of all things in the world and racial equality. for purpose. The dominant position in the Kingdom of Belrama is the Holy See, a religious force that believes in the only lord of the world, the goddess of light, Ishtar. Its teachings are monotheism and the racist theory of human supremacy. It was established from the Holy See. From that moment on, he always regarded the Holy Capital as a heretic and had many conflicts.
Two completely opposite ideas. If Manigault had to choose, Manigault would still agree with the Holy City's philosophy of equality and balance.
"Okay, stop showing off your strength in front of me! Raisen~ I think you can't even defeat that purple-haired man?"
"Miss Alisa, as a knight, according to the noble code of knights, I cannot abuse my force┉┉"
The sudden voice that reached his ears brought Manigault back to his senses. At the pool not far in front of him, several noble men and women in luxurious clothes were looking at him. Although the voices of these nobles spoke Not much, but Manigault still heard every word they said.
The young man named Leisen looked to be in his early twenties. He was uniquely wearing a gorgeous knight's armor among the aristocratic crowd in casual clothes. He was looking at Manigote up and down at the moment: "┉┉And I'm not here. I've seen him in the city, and it seems like he's just a businessman or tourist coming from out of town to attend a trade fair. Unfortunately, even though he's wearing a formal suit, he can't hide his despicable aura."
When it was determined that Manigault was not a resident of the inner city, and Manigault's classical dress was just a very ordinary style, not the kind of high-end clothing. The young man named Leisen immediately safely classified Manigote as a despicable adulterer, and said in a rather disdainful tone.
"Does the noble code of knights allow you to belittle someone at will?" Another noble young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised his spectacles and said: "Leisen, under the protection of the goddess, everyone is equal. Sometimes fate Just like a naughty child, maybe the despicable person in your mouth may be someone you can't afford to mess with. "
Leisen seemed to be afraid of the aristocratic young man wearing glasses, so he hurriedly said: "No, that's not what I meant, Baloas."
"Really? In fact, I quite like the type of man he is. He has a mature temperament and is free and does not need to be bound by unnecessary etiquette and rules."
It has to be said that compared with the aristocratic men and women of the same age around her, the aristocratic girl Alisa wearing a dark purple lady's dress has a figure that is far more mature and proud than her peers. Under the package, a large area of white skin and deep ravines were exposed. The same long purple hair as Manigault was styled into a standard lady's hairstyle. A folding fan gently half-hidden her beautiful face under a hat decorated with feathers and flowers. Her charming blue eyes were charming. He looked at Manigault with a half-smiling expression.
As soon as these words came out, Knight Leisen felt a little embarrassed. The other noble men and women looked at Manigault with jealous eyes.
It has to be said that the decent black classical dress covered up Manigote's little bit of lust, making him look like a carefree and dissolute young master from a large family. Coupled with the Saint Seiya's long-trained strong figure and mature temperament, he is a magnet that can easily attract little girls who are not experienced in the world.
Manigault stood up uninterested and prepared to leave. He had no interest in becoming a target for these nobles to quarrel with each other.
"It seems he is leaving, Miss Alisa." Leisen quickly reminded.
"Leisen~ He heard what you said just now." Miss Alisa also kindly reminded Leisen.
"Really? Then I should really 'apologize' to him for what I just said! It's a pity that he didn't even have the courage to come over."
Compared to Leisen's sarcasm, Baroas on the side saw it more clearly: "It's not that he didn't have the courage to come over, it's that he didn't even bother to come over and ask you to apologize. Didn't you notice his expression when he left? It's not that I'm afraid of our noble status or getting into trouble, it's just that I don't care at all. Normally, I would show an indifferent look like him, only when I faced the dog in the restaurant next to me on the way to the academy. While barking at me.”
Baloas's scolding made Leisen blush with anger, but because he was afraid of Baloas's identity, Leisen could only secretly clenched his fists and could do nothing.
Alyssa smiled tenderly, her blue eyes still staring at Manigault who was far away, as if Fan Ruo had found something she liked.

In order to come to the main material plane, demons usually build a bloody altar and continuously sacrifice lives. A channel has been twisted on the law of the interface, and the more powerful the demon, the more life and blood it needs. The altar It will also become very large and convenient for sacrificing lives. Such cruel sacrifices will inevitably require a large amount of massacres. Usually a large number of killings and sacrifices are carried out in a peaceful area without war or plague. This behavior cannot be concealed in any case. of. For this reason, in order to avoid being defeated by secular mortals or gods before the passage is fully opened, the demon lord will keep calm in the main altar area and build many small altars in various places to gradually absorb the sacrifices from the small altars. Strengthen the power of the main altar in order to completely open the path between the twisted void and the main material plane.
There should be a small altar belonging to the murderous lord Areguso somewhere in the Golden Spike territory!
For a territory that is secretly controlled by demons, Manigot really can't see any ominous signs. The entire Golden Spike territory remains quite rich and prosperous. After wandering around the inner city for a while, Manigault came to the lower city. Compared to the inner city, the lower city was much more lively. It was crowded with people at first glance. Various booths were being set up at the chamber of commerce. Although the business fair was The fair has not officially started yet, but merchants have already begun to purchase special products from the Golden Harvest Territory along the street.
Various grains and vegetables, a large amount of alchemy materials, daily necessities such as clothes and leather shoes, as well as many rare birds and pets, and even various furs produced in the Kingdom of Saxony have a market here.
Although there was money in his bag, Manigault was only interested in some special snacks. Other than that, he didn't have much money to spend. He did catch a 'gold finger' on the road who was trying to make a fortune from himself. . Manigault, who looked like an out-of-town tourist in his dress, could easily be mistaken for an easy prey, but the thief chose the wrong target.
After being caught, the thief tried to take out a dagger and hit the other party with it, then took advantage of the situation and slipped into the crowd. But before he could take out the gleaming dagger and make another move, Manigault, who had quick eyes and quick hands, had already punched him on the bridge of his nose. Because he was still angry because of some previous things, this time The force of the punch caused the thief's face to collapse, and the huge pain caused him to faint without saying a word.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to attack my uncle Manigote." After the opponent fell to the ground, Manigote still kicked him in displeasure.
After the city security team arrived, they learned a little about the situation and let Manigault go. This thief is a member of a gang in the Golden Spike Territory and can be said to be a habitual offender. He has been caught in the police station and jail not once or twice. , I can only say that I deserved to have my nose broken this time. The security team drove the unconscious thief away quickly. According to the old rules, the gangster had to spend money to redeem him.
After the beating, Manigault felt a little better. Taking a portion of the honey-glazed lizard skewers he bought, Manigault climbed to a sightseeing tower in the city. On this high tower, the entire Golden Spike The beautiful scenery of the territory can be seen at a glance. Even the richest cities will have some stains. The Golden Spike Territory is the richest and most prosperous territory of the Kingdom of Belrama, but there is still a row of simple buildings not far outside the city, just like stains on a picture scroll.
The inner city is the residence of the rich and nobles, the outer city is the residence of the common people, and outside the city is the residence of the 'poor' who are one level lower than the common people.
These poor people are bankrupts and debtors, and are not allowed to enter the city. They can only stay outside the city to fend for themselves. Those with better luck can help some farms harvest crops, or help merchants carry goods during trade fairs. To earn a living, there is nowhere anyone would go except to the gangs in the city.
Of course, wherever the gang goes, it only means collecting protection fees, or conducting some shady illegal transactions, including drugs, drugs, women, children, and other imaginable dark transactions.
