It's another sunny day.

The off-road vehicle taken by the aristocratic young men Yiai and Li Yu arrived at the gate of Baghdad.

Compared with Baghdad in the old days, the city of Baghdad today is much smaller. The Tigris River, which originally passed through the city, now flows outside the city wall. In the gentle river, you can still see some of the old city.

Disfigurement.

The city of Baghdad by the river is surrounded by a three- to four-meter-high city wall. This architectural concept seems to be still in the feudal era. But it would be wrong to say that it is in the feudal era. After all, the city wall is made of concrete.

The scenery inside the city is strictly blocked by the city wall that surrounds the city. Standing outside the city gate, apart from the city walls and gates, the only thing you can see is the spire of the cathedral in the center of the city.

Li Yu was sitting in the car, looking at the city wall and the gun-wielding guards at the city gate, and suddenly asked: "The Kingdom of God also sent people to help repair this city wall?"

Yiai next to him replied: "The larger cities are the territories of nobles. The original nobles were all envoys of the gods, and they were entrusted to various places. They used the place names as their family names, and then passed them down to the second and third generations.

...When the first generation of nobles were enfeoffed, the Kingdom of God not only provided nominal support, but also provided various resources, including building city walls."

Li Yu suddenly said: "So that's it, the nobles are selected from the divine envoys."

Aye: "Yes, now the Kingdom of God still selects a group of divine envoys from believers every year, and then selects some from the divine envoys who have made meritorious deeds, and ennobles them as nobles. Therefore, the territory of civilization under the Kingdom of God is expanding every year."

Li Yu: "This method of expansion is quite clever."

Yiai stared at him and hesitated to speak.

And Li Yu could probably guess what this guy was holding back - as an evil mage who resists the Kingdom of God, is there something wrong with you praising the expansion of the Kingdom of God?

But for Li Yu, the position is one thing, but he does understand this kind of ruling idea that controls the lifeline of technology and economy, and can understand its convenience.

The car fell silent.

Because of the inspection and interrogation by the guards, the passage through the city gate was quite slow, and most of the people entering spent a lot of time queuing up. However, as a nobleman, Yiai naturally had many shortcuts. He just showed his

Inlaid with a gold coat of arms, the guard respectfully let the off-road vehicle in.

After entering the city, there is an avenue crowded with street stalls on both sides. All kinds of goods are waiting for customers to browse. Thousands of vendors shout loudly. Pedestrians coming and going stop from time to time, and the sounds of bargaining can be heard one after another.

The scene was a bit noisy and chaotic, so the off-road vehicle had to move in little by little in order not to hit anyone.

Yiai introduced: "The famous Baghdad Bazaar has countless traveling circuses and merchants praising its prosperity. What do you think?"

Li Yu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

This so-called market reminded him of a farmer's market at the county or town level, but there were more people and the environment seemed dirtier. However, the experience of struggling in the new era had long since made him lose the ability to complain.

desire.

Moreover, there are so many shortcomings in the new era that he has no way to complain about them.

"Prosperity is prosperous, but I don't really like a place like this..." Yiai looked at the mysterious mage beside him and said, "If I want to spend the coins in my hand, I prefer to go to a place with fewer customers and a cleaner place.

How about this place? Do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Yu: "What are you going to see?"

Yiai smiled: "I will return to Yazd in two days. Externally, I plan to introduce you as a scholar invited from Baghdad and invite you to be my consultant. So I think it is necessary to buy some suitable

Clothes of identity.”

John, the captain of the guard, suddenly stopped the car and reminded: "If you want to buy clothes, go in this alley and you can find a high-end tailor shop. I lived in Baghdad when I was a child, so I know this very well."

Yi Ai: "Okay, let's park here."

John, the captain of the guard, stopped the car, turned around and said to the three guards sitting behind him: "You accompany His Highness and the Master, we will guard the car here."

So under the protection of the three guards, Yi Ai and Li Yu got out of the car and walked towards the alley next to them.

John, the captain of the guard, rolled down the window, looked out at the bustling streets, and let out a sigh of relief silently.

The young guard sitting in the passenger seat suddenly asked: "Captain, that mage doesn't seem to be as scary as we thought. Except for that night, he seems to be quite easy-going at other times."

The captain of the guard sneered: "That's because we don't pose a threat at all in the eyes of others. Look at His Highness's attitude towards him. Let alone an adviser, he is simply regarded as a prime minister."

The young guard thought for a while and then asked: "Then can he be the palace minister?"

The head guard's expression calmed down and he said solemnly: "That's not a problem we should consider, child."

Yi Ai, Li Yu and two personal guards walked into the quiet box and soon found a clothing store.

Different from the stalls selling clothes along the avenue, this store is obviously much more upscale. The reception of the clerks after entering the store and the way they make clothes reminded Li Yu of the high-end suit customization shops of the old era.

.

The clothes Li Yu wears come from the Arena of God. The material is actually good, but there are no decorations. In the aristocratic circles of this era, too simple clothes will not be welcomed. Even if it is to reflect the 'His Royal Highness' of Yiai.

For the attention he pays, he should also get a few sets of more gorgeous clothes to wear.

But Li Yu doesn't like this style very much.

The clerk handed over the sample fabric. After Li Yu touched the soft but delicate material, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing this, Yiai said with concern: "Have you considered the price here? It doesn't matter, this little money is not a burden to me..."

"I know," Li Yu interrupted, "The price is certainly not an issue, but I don't like this shiny material."

The clerk quickly said: "In addition to the brightened silk, we also have normal silk, as well as leather and pure wool fabrics. Do you want to take a look?"

Li Yu: "Show me pure wool, just woolen ones."

In his mind, woolen fabrics were relatively strong, and he had worn suits made of this material before. Other choices seemed too delicate to him.

The clerk turned around to look for samples.

Yiai was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "But... with your appearance and skin... it's really suitable for silk."

Li Yu: "Thank you for the compliment, but I think you are more suitable for silk."

Yiai pulled open the sun robe that was wrapped around it, revealing the shiny white shirt underneath: "What I'm wearing is silk."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

Perhaps it was a difference in aesthetics. He always felt that this kind of silk shirt with lace decoration looked too gay.
