PFC Chapter 78 West City
Chapter 78 West City
"Hello?"
"This is.........."
Just as Lin Tian was about to get into the carriage, the carriage owner suddenly called out to him.
"Little dog! What's wrong?"
"Um... I'm sorry, we can't bring pets."
"It's very well-behaved and won't scratch your carriage."
"that.........."
"If there are any scratches, I'll compensate you three times the amount!"
"Row!"
Lin Tian suddenly sat down on the couch inside the carriage, while a small white dog was pawing at his shoulder.
"Since when did you get a pet?"
Sitting opposite her, Lily was a little curious and reached out to grab it, but the little dog, which had been keeping its eyes closed, opened its eyes and started baring its teeth as soon as it sensed her approach!
"The real culprit!"
Lily wrinkled her nose helplessly. Since the puppy was resisting her, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand.
"To be honest, I don't know much about West City yet!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian immediately changed the subject, and in response to his question, Li immediately began to explain:
"West City is one of the earliest cities established in the early days of the kingdom. It has had dozens of generations of rulers and has gone through hundreds of years. It can be considered an old city with a long history."
"As the largest city in the entire Western Territory, it not only provides enormous economic value, but also manages the entire Western City on behalf of the King. Although there are several other cities in the Western Territory, none of them can compare to this city in terms of scale or prosperity."
“Every three months, the West City holds a regional meeting. At that time, all the town mayors and city lords with names and titles in the entire West City will come here. The meeting is chaired by the current governor of the West City. The overall goal is still the development of the West City.”
"If we're talking about recent events in the West City, it's definitely the appointment of a new governor. This governor was appointed directly by the kingdom and is said to be a nobleman from the capital."
“I don’t believe that the veteran officials of the West City would have no objections to such a direct parachute appointment, but this is an assignment from the capital, and they dare not disobey, not even the once arrogant Francis.”
“Francis.........”
"What's wrong? You seem particularly sensitive to this name?"
"Hmm... I was just curious."
"Is there anything else interesting?"
"That's all for now. Oh! By the way, West City isn't like our poor, remote place. There are quite a few extraordinary people there, so remember to be very careful!"
"I see.........."
.........................
The carriage wasn't moving very fast, and it took three whole days to reach its destination.
The moment you arrive in West City, you can feel its prosperity. This time, instead of the low walls of a Wells town, there are real city walls, towering high!
There weren't many marks on the city wall, but it was clear that it was regularly maintained. In the very center of the city wall was a huge gate, and in front of the gate was a stone-paved road for travelers.
This time, the experience of entering the city was very good. Unlike last time, there were no guards with poor manners. There may have been some, but they were well contained by the laws of the city.
After entering through the city gate, you are greeted by a bustling commercial street. Like Wells Town, the city gate is the place with the highest flow of people, and naturally there are a large number of shops.
However, unlike Wells Town, these are real shops where you have to go inside to make a purchase, rather than just setting up a stall and shouting loudly like in Wells Town!
Of course, it's not that these kinds of shops don't exist, but they are the mainstream. These shops sell all sorts of things: beautiful clothes, gorgeous weapons, exquisite luxury goods. Most of these shops have transparent glass panels so that tourists can better view their merchandise.
Lin Tian and Li got off the carriage here; the cost of their journey within the city was not included.
Seeing the carriage owner looking him up and down in his carriage, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Let's go! Let's head to our lodgings first!"
Li tugged at the dazed Lin Tian, then took Bai's hand, who became nervous when there were many people around, and they began to walk into the city.
The place Lily mentioned was a small building that looked a bit old. After arriving there, she led the two up to the third floor and then to a dilapidated door.
Click~click~click~
Looking at the neighbor peeking out and then at Li who couldn't open the door for a long time, Lin Tian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"How about I..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Tian obediently shut his mouth and turned his attention to the evil that was shaking as the door opened.
Bai glanced at the anxious Li, then at the lost-in-thought Lin Tian, and began to bite his nails in a daze.
Click!
With a click, the lock, whose existence was uncertain, was finally opened by Lily, and her anxious expression immediately turned into joy.
"Hey! I've opened it!"
Lily cheered with delight, but after a long while she didn't receive a response from either of them, so she subconsciously turned around to look.
What are those two unlucky kids doing?
*Knock*
*Knock*
"I didn't see it! I didn't see it!"
Seeing that the two were still in a daze and hadn't noticed that she had turned around, Li tapped each of them on the forehead. Lin Tian, who was tapped, immediately came back to his senses and mumbled incomprehensible gibberish.
Bai seemed to be a beat behind, and after a short while, he slowly covered his forehead and made a painful expression.
These two kids are beyond saving!
Li shook her head, ignored the two of them, and walked straight into the room!
Upon seeing this, Lin Tian immediately followed, but after taking only two steps, he seemed to remember something and immediately turned back.
"go!"
Lin Tian suddenly lifted Bai Cha, who was still covering her forehead, and then carried her inside with his arm. After entering, he didn't forget to close the door with his foot.
click!
The place Li provided was a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and bathroom. Although the space was a bit small, it was fully equipped. Lin Tian didn't know if this environment could be considered luxurious or high-end in Xicheng.
The house looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time; a thin layer of dust was visible on the furniture.
However, Lin Tian could accept it. After all, he had been sleeping in the cave every day not long ago, and it wasn't as comfortable there. At least there were beds here, although there were only two. He and Li could sleep together, and Bai could have a room by herself... Well... Bai could squeeze in if she wanted to.
While Lin Tian was still in a daze, Li threw a broom at him.
"You are responsible for cleaning your own room!"
After saying that, he grabbed the dazed Bai and headed towards the bedroom on the right.
Hey~
People's hearts are no longer what they used to be...
