Chapter 490: Going to the Sea (Part 2)
Chapter 490: Going to the sea (Part 2)
The road was quite peaceful. Along the way, although I encountered several pirates, the Fifth Fleet that Romon was riding on, now has twenty ships and is full of morale. It really scared those pirates. Pirates are not fools. They know who should be robbed, and they can't fall for anyone after robbery. Although there are people paying attention along the way, no one dares to step forward.
"It should be coming soon?" He leaned his head on his hands and lay flat on the bed. Romon's thoughts floated to a very far place with the slightly shaking hull.
Since the Fifth Fleet went to sea, the ships have arrived and passed many ports. Now, they are getting closer and closer to the King Capital. According to the plan, they are going to dock at the Great Harbor of the King Capital, and he and his servants get off the ship.
The Fifth Fleet continued to move forward and went to deeper inland areas to receive refugees. After Romon finished his work, he returned to the port to wait, and then took them back when the Fifth Fleet came back.
Soon, the Fifth Fleet approached the large port of the royal capital because their dozens of warships were so silly. As early as a few dozen kilometers away from the port, a team of warships could come across from them. A flag was flying on the flagpole of the leader's battleship, which was the symbol of the royal capital.
Perhaps because he saw the sign of the Fifth Fleet, the other party just asked them to pause and did not launch an attack immediately.
Soon, an opponent's warship leaned towards this side, while the other warships remained still there, waiting and watching the situation here.
"Which fleet are you from?"
As soon as the ship approached, the person shouting above asked loudly.
There are no loudspeakers in this era, and the voices are all based on the voice. The person who asked about it is not tall and ordinary, but has a good voice, with a loud and thorough voice, and a very clear sound.
Although it is a distance, there are no communication barriers.
"We are from the Fifth Fleet. We went to the inland area and passed by here to escort Lord Tetashau to land." On this side of the Fifth Fleet, a clear-talk was also sent to respond and shout.
I heard that I was passing by, and the ship was carrying a viscount, and the other party's tone and expression became respectful. In this world, the nobles have a great privilege. No matter how capable a civilian is, he will never be on par with a noble. This is the difference in identity.
"Miss Viscount Tetasha? Okay, let me inform you first, you can wait here for a while."
After hearing the news, the other party was unable to make decisions and asked the Fifth Fleet to wait here first. The warship turned around and headed towards the fleet in the distance. After a while, the shouting person came back.
At this time, a smile was already on his face. "My adult said that it is accessible, but we need to escort you through the port."
I had known that the other party must have been vigilant, and the Fifth Fleet did not object. Under the escort of the other party's fleet, the Fifth Fleet successfully arrived at the port. At the other party's instructions, only the main fleet carrying Romon and others and gifts reached the shore. As soon as the warship landed, a group of people rushed up, but they were helpers and other people.
"Let's rent a few carriages first, and then hire some reliable people to carry the goods." Romon did not intend to use those inappropriate people, and turned to Lu Xiupei who was following him.
Lu Xiupei came out with Romon many times, always following Romon, and was also affected by his behavior. After he went out for a while, he arranged the matter almost exactly.
A group of properly handled porters were responsible for carrying things down from the ship, and the carriage was also found, one was gorgeous and comfortable for Romon to ride, while the other carriages were holding gifts, and the people who drove the carriage were all servants.
After all the things were loaded onto the carriage, the Fifth Fleet gradually left the dock area and marched further away.
The journey was not particularly long. After driving a carriage, I arrived in front of the inner city in half an hour.
The port and the capital are theoretically the same city, but in fact, the inner walls are used to isolate the dock area and the capital. The walls are very high and are more magnificent than any city Romon has ever seen.
The height and width of the city gate were also longer and wider than all the cities in the county of Romon. When they arrived, it was morning, and there were many people entering and leaving the royal city, and there were all kinds of people.
It is a fact that the number of nobles in the royal city is a fact, and the soldiers guarding the royal city have neat clothes, beautiful appearance, and handsome figures, and have good qualities that other city guards cannot possess.
Because this is the royal city, they are the guardians of the royal city gate and the first in the royal city to talk about the scenery. Their requirements may be higher than those of other soldiers.
"Sir, I just asked. The closest place to the palace is Jade Street, where high-ranking nobles are allowed to live. Look, are you..."
Lu Xiu Pei's words reminded Romon. He took out a token from his arms. This was given to him by Princess Qianya. With it, you can move in Emerald Street. Living there requires a certain privilege, and it is easy to do things close to the palace. He secretly made a decision and rushed to Emerald Street where nobles gathered.
"After entering the city, hurry to Emerald Street." Thinking of this, he said to Lu Xiupei who was driving the car in front.
"Yes, sir." Lu Xiupei had already inquired about the route to Jade Street just now, and he responded as soon as he heard it.
Soon, their carriage arrived at the city gate, and if nothing unexpected happened, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the royal city.
However, in this area, there are many nobles, and they are afraid of offending people they should not offend. They are very polite to those who are sitting in gorgeous carriages.
The facts also prove that their caution is correct. The person they inspected this time was a viscount from an external territory. If he could become a viscount at such a young age, the soldiers could imagine what kind of power they had behind it. As soon as they thought about it, they were particularly polite to such young and promising people.
"Sir, your identity has been verified. Please pass it. I wish you a happy stay in the royal city."
After the voices of the soldiers guarding the city sounded, the carriage successfully passed the inspection at the city gate and headed towards the Emerald Street.
Romon lifted up the curtain of the car and looked outside. It has to be said that the capital is the capital. This is a big city that has been produced after hundreds of years of fusion. Whether it is streets, shops, various buildings, or the passengers passing by, or the prosperity of the city, it is not comparable to the city in the county where Romon and others live.
"It's indeed a royal city, it's indeed extraordinary." Romon nodded secretly.
However, that's all he could react. The large cities he saw on Earth in his previous life were larger than this one. It can only be said that the royal city is indeed much more magnificent than the cities in his county.
Under Lu Xiupei's control, the carriage continued to move forward, followed by a convoy carrying gifts. The group soon took the carriage to the Emerald Street in the royal city.
On Jade Street, except for some noble mansions, the others are the best hotels and restaurants. Those places are no longer places that can be visited with money, and they also need the status of the noble.
Ordinary businessmen and adventurers cannot move in at will. Of course, appreciation is OK and will be open every day.
Emerald Street is regarded as an exclusive area for a great nobleman. Romon's status is not low. Originally, the viscount in the place was qualified to live here. With that token, it saved a lot of trouble.
"Sir, Emerald Street has arrived." At this time, the carriage driven by Lu Xiupei slowed down.
Romon looked out through the window.
The streets are indeed very prosperous. The capital of a country is also a core area, so there are naturally many rich people.
There are all kinds of shops on the street, and all kinds of luxurious signs can be seen everywhere.
The beautifully dressed pedestrians come and go.
Romon was wearing a viscount-level clothing, which was very luxurious and did not look conspicuous in this place. It can only be said that it was the clothing of the middle and upper tribes.
There were people coming and going on the streets, and Romon keenly noticed a group of people patrolling in secret.
In this core area, the guards are of course quite tight. If you encounter thieves, sabotagers, or criminals, you will basically not be judged and will be sent directly to the gallows.
Romon stared at the pedestrians coming and going, and smiled for a moment: "Let's find a hotel to stay."
"Yes, sir."
Next, they found a hotel on Emerald Street. After verifying Romon's identity, profession and token, the boss smiled and let Romon and his servants into a large mansion behind.
It is a bit similar to a single-door villa, with a unique courtyard, with flowers, grass, small lake, rockery and pavilions in the courtyard, which is really good.
A group of people lived here, and the carriages were parked in, almost no place in the yard. The size of the place was evident, and the cost was so high that it was amazing.
After staying in this hotel, the first day was when everyone was resting and relaxing. The next morning, Romon sent someone to the palace and sent a letter asking for a visit.
Seeking to see the king is not an easy task. There are many steps required, and there are many etiquettes that need attention. For example, this letter of Seeking to see the king is either a single door or awaiting you to visit. There are many things to do and the arrangements are very full. To see the king, you need to say hello in advance. Only after they have arranged the time can you go to see him.
The staff in the palace accepted this letter of consultation and reported to the Office of the Internal Affairs in accordance with previous rules and regulations, application time and identity.
After approval by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was conveyed again-three days later, Your Majesty will summon Romon in the palace.
Romon had three days of spare time. During these three days, according to the rules, Romon could not visit other nobles before the king was summoned, even if he could not even visit the princess. This is basic politeness.
Romon has been quite bored and idle in the past three days. He has been walking around the Emerald Street for a long time. I have to say that there are indeed many strange things in the royal city. After walking around the streets, even Romon, who knew him, couldn't help but buy a lot of small things and was going back to give them to his wife and future children.
He also purchased a lot of girls' things, and they were all for bells and mothers.
It was a bit boring when I turned around again. The street was very prosperous. Romon had seen it more prosperous than this one, so he felt bored and could only return to the hotel first and wait for the king's summons in his room.
