Chapter 557
Chapter 557 – : Chapter 555-Demon Slayer (1)
Early the next morning, everyone quickened their pace and set off. The people along the way became more and more dense. The villagers in simple linen clothes looked at these well-dressed nobles in awe, their eyes more curious than afraid.
The deeper they went, the braver the people became. There were even children who chased after them for a while, but they were soon left behind.
It was almost noon when a ‘magnificent” city’ came into Li Rui’s view. The dense wooden houses spread nearly ten miles, and in the middle was a building similar to Japan’s heavensguard Pavilion, which looked ancient.
“This is bei baize’s capital?”
Luo Li’s mouth twitched and her face was full of disappointment.
It was known as the most prosperous and powerful capital city within a radius of hundreds of miles. It couldn’t even be compared to the size of a small County in the country!
the permanent population is only 70000. It’s already one of the top cities. What else do you want? ”
Li Rui rubbed her head and chuckled.
The cloud nation’s unique environment created a unique social structure, and their productivity was limited to this. It was already not easy to build such a city.
Bei baize’s ‘capital’ was called ‘bei baize’. In other words, this country was originally developed from a village called’ bei baize’. This was also the origin of most of the countries in the [ cloud nation ].
As they approached the city, the first thing they saw were simple farmers, followed by a wooden city wall that was more than four meters high.
The top of the round wood was sharpened to prevent climbing. It seemed to be used for defense, but it was more like the boundary between the outer and inner city.
“The ten soldier guards! You see!”
The soldier guarding the gate saw Li Rui and his group from far away, and his heart quivered.
Only nobles could afford to wear those gorgeous clothes.
Not daring to look any longer, the two warriors tensed up and hastened the movement of driving the civilians away to make room for the nobles behind.
The ten soldier guards finally saw the beautiful faces of the girls when they got closer. They blushed and lowered their heads unnaturally.
They must be princesses of some country, right?
They’re so beautiful! If I can serve them, I’m willing to live ten years less!
Li Rui and the others didn’t notice the thoughts of the soldiers. They wanted to line up quietly, but they didn’t expect that everyone in front of them would retreat to the side in horror and respectfully lower their heads to make way for them.
Looking at the clothes on his body, Li Rui remembered a certain noble from ancient Japan. Along the way, the civilians had to prostrate on the ground. If they were careless and peeked, they might be killed on the spot.
He didn’t expect that he would be able to experience the evil feudal system.
Li Rui’s heart was filled with emotions, but his face was clear, as if he had long been used to such a scene, and he seemed very familiar with it.
Seeing the nobles approach the city wall, the ten guards gathered their courage, tidied up their armor, and went up to them respectfully.
“My Lord.”
“Yes.”
Li Rui nodded indifferently, but he was a little confused.
There seemed to be an entrance fee in ancient times.
Li Rui and the ten soldier guards stared at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
How could he make it seem like he was very familiar with it and frequently went in and out of the ‘big city’?
I’m waiting online, it’s urgent!
Li Rui touched the money in his pocket and didn’t know if he should take the initiative to pay.
Seeing that the noble seemed to be a little unhappy, the ten soldier Guard’s forehead was covered in sweat as he braced himself and spoke.
“May I know why you have come to bei baize?”
we’ve traveled all over the world and killed demons. We’re passing by your place and would like to rest for a few days.
Li Rui copied out an obscure and awkward-sounding ancient language, which stunned the ten soldier guards.
Li Rui didn’t know that the cloud country’s common language, which was summarized in the forward base, was the language used by the upper-class nobles of various countries.
His grammar, format, and choice of words were all different from the common language used by the commoners. If the ten guards had not served the nobles before, they would not have understood what he was saying.
“So it’s Lord Demon Slayer. I’m sorry for being impolite, please!”
The ten soldier guard retreated to the side and lowered his head. The fine sweat on his face condensed into beads and dripped down his chin to the ground.
Just this?
Don’t you want money?
Li Rui was stunned at first, but he put back the coins that he had taken out halfway. Then, he nodded arrogantly and walked into the city gate with his teammates.
It was not until they were far away that the quiet city gate became lively again.
The people straightened their sore backs and excitedly discussed what they had just seen and heard.
For many commoners with shallow knowledge, being able to get close to such a noble Demon Slayer was something they could brag about for the rest of their lives!
The ten soldier guards left the task of guarding the gate to their companions and left in a hurry.
……
“What? A travelling Demon Slayer?”
yes, they have a noble temperament and extraordinary speech. Their clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, and you can’t even see any traces of weaving. I didn’t dare to delay and immediately came to report.
The ten guards kneeled in front of their officer and vividly repeated the scene.
The soldiers guarding the city gate might not have great combat power, but they had sharp eyes.
With a quick glance, he would know who he could and couldn’t afford to offend!
“Did you ask for their names?”
this lowly one deserves to die. I didn’t dare to ask. Lord quanshan, please forgive me!
“What are their physical characteristics?”
The ten soldier guards quickly described the appearance of Li Rui and his group.
“Wait a minute, skin as white as snow, golden hair, blue eyes, and extraordinarily beautiful facial features? There’s a half-demon in the demon Slayers?”
Speaking of Luo Li’s appearance, Duan shanyuan’s heart suddenly moved.
“I don’t know, but that noble doesn’t seem to have any half-demon characteristics.”
“Oh … I know, you may leave.”
After sending away the ten soldier guards, Kuai shanyuan sat on the spot and pondered for a long time.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, he knew that many Outlanders had come to the area recently!
Some of them looked just like the ten soldier guard had described. They were different from ordinary people and very similar to the lecherous people in the legends.
Did the demon Slayers come from that place?
They had a lot of good things in their hands!
The impact of the Earth’s industrial products on the primitive society was not small. A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of Kua shanyuan, but he immediately suppressed it.
For such a big matter, he could not make the decision alone, he had to report it to the clan elder.
At the same time, Li Rui and the others had already walked around the city and, as expected, they had gained respect from the people along the way.
“Richard, we’re here to collect information, not to act tough!”
After finding an Inn to stay in, Li Rui threw his clothes on the ground.
He had asked his subordinates to prepare the local clothing. He had originally planned to break into the People’s circle, but it turned out to be like a superstar holding a concert. People would pay attention to him wherever he went, and he was even trying to get some information.
