Chapter 145 The Gradually Bustling Pompeii (Part 3)

Autumn gradually passed away, and midwinter quietly arrived.

When winter was about to arrive, the hot Pompeii gradually became cooler.

In the north of the endless forest, the south of Pompeii was developed into large tracts of farmland, dotted with villages from time to time, and in the north, a city stood.

The circular city wall was repaired very tall and thick, and an arrow tower stood every section of the wall, silently announcing that this was a defensive fortress.

The two clay golems on both sides of the four city gates added infinite persuasiveness to the defense of this military fortress.

This is the Pompeii family's declaration to the whole world that we have the power to defend our territory.

At this time, many visitors came to Pompeii.

David was one of them.

David was a resident of Sparta, the main city of Marquis Parker, and among the recent visitors, the people of Marquis Parker's territory were the most.

There is no way. The Marquis Parker, nicknamed "Executioner", is gradually losing the credit and prestige of a lord.

First, the peasants lost their land and were forced to flee the Marquis Parker Territory.

Then the middle class also left the territory.

Most of those who came to Pompeii Territory were attracted by the low housing prices in Pompeii and the many job positions advertised by Pompeii.

David came for the low housing prices. He planned to sell the house in Sparta and buy a small house in the countryside to live in.

Anyway, in David's opinion, a house is just a place to live.

Selling the house in Sparta, where the housing prices are relatively high, and buying a house in the countryside with a low housing price, the freed-up money can make his life more affluent.

This is a good thing.

Of course, the most important thing is that David also thinks that Marquis Parker is too terrible. Living with this Marquis, life is gradually depressing, and David can't stand that atmosphere.

As for work, David is not afraid.

He is a chef who runs a small restaurant in the civilian area of ​​Sparta. In David's opinion, since the Pompeii family is going to build a new city, it is not difficult to open a small restaurant.

However, David still has doubts. The most important thing is whether the Pompeii family is as powerful as the outside world says, and can guarantee the safety of the city.

So David came to investigate this time, not to settle down. David came with several friends, who, like David, have the intention to live in Pompeii.

The group came in a flatbed carriage, and the coachmen were also a group of people, and even the fare was saved.

"This road is well repaired, large and flat." David wrapped his clothes. Because his family was not rich, his clothes were a little thin in winter, but David was used to it and could bear it.

He looked at the deep forest road outside the cart curiously and praised.

"I heard that the roads in Pompeii are all large and smooth. The acting lord, the next generation of Pompeii knights, is known as the "Merciful One". He is not only very good to the people, but also pays special attention to road and city construction. The roads must be clean, for example, you can't poop on the road casually."

A friend of David answered.

"It's a good rule not to poop casually. When I was on the road, I felt sick when I saw human feces and livestock feces on the roadside. If it was in summer, it would be even more disgusting, with flies and mosquitoes flying around."

David's eyes lit up.

As a chef, David likes cleanliness more than ordinary people. He liked this rule as soon as he heard it.

"These are actually not important. What's important is the defense of the city. This is an endless forest, full of monsters and even dragons."

Another friend said.

"That's true." David nodded. This is the most tangled problem for everyone, and it is also the meaning of this journey.

Investigation.

After walking through the deep forest road, the group finally arrived at Pompeii. What they saw was a large farmland, which was bare and without crops because of the season.

In the distance, they could see a towering city.

Seeing the towering city in the distance, the group gradually became excited and full of expectations. When they arrived at the bottom of the city gate, they fell into a stagnation.

They saw two huge clay golems, wearing iron armor and holding iron swords, standing majestically on the left and right sides of the city gate.

"My God, how much money did it cost to make these two statues?"

One of David's friends exclaimed.

"I don't know much. I think this thing may not be an ordinary statue, but a wizard's creation." Another friend of David was knowledgeable.

"Wizard's creation?" David and his group knew each other.

"You are right. These two golems are indeed wizard creations, called "clay golems". They are the spoils of war obtained by the lord after he wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits. As long as they are driven by wizards, their power can exceed that of primary knights and can effectively resist monsters."

There was a team of guards standing on both sides of the city gate. One of the guards said with a proud tone.

"A golem that surpasses the power of a primary knight?" David swallowed his saliva. If he was shocked just now, now he was shocked with a little fear.

It always felt like these two golems would draw their swords at any time.

Terrible.

But it felt so safe.

Magical creation.

"Sir, we want to know about the housing prices in Pompeii. What should we do?" David got off the carriage and asked the guard respectfully.

"Go straight from here and you can see the Pompeii Castle. There is a town hall next to the castle. You just need to go to the town hall to inquire about the situation."

The guard pointed out.

In fact, this guard was specially selected. He was a kind-faced and eloquent person who specialized in dealing with such situations.

Because there were more and more visitors to Pompeii recently, Luther made this preparation.

After getting the guard's instructions, David and his party entered the city. The first thing they saw was the military facilities on the right.

There are row houses, playgrounds and other facilities, and you can also see many armed guards. The guards are currently training. David and his party do not understand military affairs, but their intuition tells them that these guards are training very hard.

Huge city walls, tall clay golems, and after entering the city, there are a large number of guards in training.

David's investigation has just begun, but he has already had a tendency in his heart.

What a new city, giving them a sense of security.

When David and his party arrived at the city hall, enthusiastic officials received them and told them in detail about the current housing prices in Pompeii.

This made David and his party flattered again.

They are people in Sparta. What kind of bird is Marquis Parker? What kind of bird is his officials? They are greedy and cruel, and they are even more arrogant and unreasonable to civilians.

Now that they come to Pompeii, they feel that the attitude of the officials is warm and hospitable.

"This city is worthy of being ruled by the Lord Pompey, who is known as the benevolent man. The officials are so kind. It is safe and reliable, and the officials are also very friendly. I think this is an ideal living environment." David thought happily in his heart.
