Chapter 43 The City of Earls

On Sunday morning, a carriage with the "Moonlight Night, Roaring to the Sky" tribe emblem on both sides drove out of Fergus Castle, surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen.

The carriage is pulled by two strong horses. The carriage is four meters long and two meters wide. It is made of light iron wood.

This is a kind of wood that has both the toughness and hardness of iron and is extremely lightweight. The price of the same volume is more than ten times that of iron and wood. It is widely used in the manufacturing of noble carriages.

Outside the carriage, a layer of brightly colored silk fabric was adhered to, completely covering up the wooden structure.

This is the best among the many carriages of the Fergus family, and it is only used when the owner of the family travels. Usually, Gray and the others use single carriages.

Inside the carriage, which was also carefully decorated, there were six people, Viscount Fergus, Lady Milan, Gray, Sarah, Caroline and Ellis.

This time I went to attend a high-end auction where many nobles participated, so I was wearing dresses.

Gray was wearing a beige-fitting dress, paired with his black hair, blue eyes as deep as the sea, and a pretty and pleasing face, which had an inexplicable attraction.

Moreover, on the left and right shoulders of his dress, there were several lake blue feathers, which set off, making his temperament more unique.

Next to him, Sarah was wearing a white short-sleeved long skirt, with white flowers on it, making her look lively and cute.

Next to Sarah is Caroline wearing a blue skirt. The blue skirt extends down from her chest and gradually narrows, outlining a wonderful curve, elegant and generous.

Viscount Fergus, Madame Milan and Ellis, who were wearing dresses, also had their own characteristics, either handsome or charming.

Anyone from aristocratic families will not have bad temperament and appearance. The temperament is due to the aristocratic training, and the appearance is carefully selected from generation to generation.

Aristocrats, the upper class of social classes, have power and power, how could they marry someone with ordinary appearance?

Therefore, it is very common for handsome men and beautiful women to appear among the nobles.

"I wonder if Baron Harris will come to the auction this time."

Sitting in the carriage, several people chatting casually, Viscount Fergus asked Madame Milan.

"It shouldn't be. Baron Harris is too far away from here, so my brother shouldn't come to participate."

Mrs. Milan shook her head and said.

"That's a pity. The last time I saw Baron Hals was two years ago."

Viscount Fergus said with a little regret.

"I haven't seen my uncle for two years, but unfortunately my uncle came here last time and stayed too short!"

Caroline said with a smile.

Gray listened quietly to the conversations of several people, occasionally interjecting a few words, and most of the time he listened to the conversations of several people.

There is no saying in this world that a husband is married and a husband is called by her husband. The full name of Mrs. Milan is Milan. Harris, and the Harris family is the family before she got married.

This is a baron family, but unlike the two baron families of Ricardo and Kipling, Viscount Fergus, to some extent, the baron family is higher.

Because this baron family was enfeoffed by the Marquis of Sidney, it can be recognized throughout the territory of the Marquis of Sidney.

Unlike the two baron families in Viscount Fergus, they will only be recognized in Viscount Fergus. Once they leave Viscount Fergus, they will no longer enjoy noble privileges.

Therefore, in this world, even if there are the same title and the different winners, the values ​​will be different.

For example, if a lord is enfeoffed by the kingdom, then he enjoys the status of a lord throughout the kingdom. Although his power is not as large as that of the Fergus family, his power is wider.

Two strong horses were pulled, and the carriage was also very light, and the speed of travel was not much slower than usual. After more than three hours, a huge city was far away.

The first thing that caught my eye was the yellow city wall, made of stones stuck together, with a height of about ten meters and should be thicker, because Gray had discovered that there were soldiers wearing uniform yellow leather armor patrolling the city wall.

In addition, you can see the spire of a few buildings, which exceeds the city wall and is exposed.

There are three doors in total at the entrance of the city wall.

There is a double door in the middle, which is enough to accommodate three carriages passing through in parallel.

The other two doors, located on both sides, can only accommodate a carriage passing through. The left side is used as the entrance to the city gate and the right side is used as the exit to the city gate.

On both sides of the three doors, there are soldiers guarding them wearing yellow leather armor, strong and energetic.

Pedestrians and carriages at the exit gate are directly released. Pedestrians can enter the gates at the entrance gates freely, but carriages have to line up one after another, waiting for inspection to collect the entry fee.

"drive--"

The cavalry looked cold and the driver raised his head high. The Fergus family's convoy kept coming towards the spaciousest city gate in the middle, and drove in quickly, raising dust.

What greeted them was not the scolding, but the awe-in-coming eyes of the soldiers in the city gate, and the envious eyes of the people entering and leaving the surroundings.

There is no need to undergo inspection or pay for the city fee. This is the privilege of the nobles. The Fergus family was a noble who was enfeoffed by the Marquis of Sidney. In the territory of Earl Ford, they are naturally considered nobles.

"Roaring Wind Wolf? This is the clan emblem of the Fergus family. The people from the Fergus family are sitting inside!!!"

"Fergus family, Viscount family Fergus family?"

"It's actually the Viscount family! It's only one level shorter than the Lord!"

Several soldiers whispered in awe.

"Oh, if one day, I could build a family like the Fergus family."

A soldier sighed and expressed his high ambitions, but rolled his eyes.

The nobles, even the lowest-level lords, need countless military achievements to build up, and the Viscount family is two levels higher than the Lord.

Even if an ordinary soldier is invincible, he can become a lord. If he wants to reach the sky and establish a viscount family, he can only dream.

The carriage drove into the city, and the eyes were paved with stone slabs, which was spacious enough to accommodate the main road that was parallel to three or two carriages.

On both sides are stone houses, most of which are covered with tiles, and there are two-story high, but few are.

There are carriages and pedestrians passing by on both sides of the road from time to time, and these stone houses located on both sides of the road can be heard from time to time. Some are hotels, some are taverns, and some are selling fresh vegetables and fruits...

From the clothes of carriages and pedestrians, it is not difficult to see that these people are quite rich, at least few people with pale faces and thin skin.

After walking along the main road for more than a thousand meters, I entered a sidewalk that could accommodate two carriages in parallel. In the end, there was no road ahead and the carriage entered a huge square.

The entire square, paved with yellow stone slabs, should be as big as half a football field.

Behind the square is a yellow building more than ten meters high, with the huge "Ford Auction House" on it. It should be a two-story style, and the yellow stone on the surface has been polished very smoothly.

When the carriage stopped, Gray and his men walked off the carriage, and several people immediately came to greet him. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a housekeeper's uniform.

"I have met Lord Viscount, Viscountess, and all the young masters and ladies!"

Middle-aged man came close to him wearing a housekeeper suit and immediately bowed respectfully to the few people and said.

As the manager of the auction house, his vision is naturally very toxic and he is naturally very clear about the clan emblems of nearby nobles, so he could tell at a glance that this was the Fergus family's team.

"The private room has been arranged for you, please come with me!"

Under the leadership of middle-aged people, everyone entered the yellow building. As for horses and cavalry, there would naturally be people to entertain them.

When I arrived at the second floor of the building, I was introduced into a private room with two beautiful maids.

"Sir Viscount, the kitchen has prepared a fine lunch. Should you start dining now, or wait for a while?"

Middle-aged still kept asking respectfully.

"Now!"

Viscount Fergus said lightly that he had been here many times and was very familiar with the hospitality method of Ford Auction.

Middle-aged man bowed again and then left, leaving only Gray and the two beautiful maids in the private room.

Grey looked at the private room, the space of 100 square meters, and the decoration was extremely exquisite.

Furniture, rune lamps, decorative porcelain, vases with flowers, incense boxes, and a faint incense in the room.

The entire space can be divided into two parts. The front part is a round table with several backrest chairs around it, which should be used as a dining place.

The second half, against the wall, is a long skylight one meter away from the ground. The skylight is inlaid with transparent crystals. Through the crystal, you can just see the auction table on the first floor.

The entire private room should be convex, so although the private room is on the second floor, it is very close to the auction table, and you can clearly see the auction table.

Next to the transparent skylight is a row of backrest chairs. On the backrest chairs are covered with soft fur, which is extremely soft. I believe that even if I sit for several hours, I won’t feel uncomfortable.

"Father, when will the auction start?"

After having a hearty lunch, Gray sat on a backrest chair next to the skylight, drinking the after-dinner juice provided by the auction house, and looked to the first floor excitedly.

There is no one on the auction table on the first floor, but there are already people taking seats on the step-shaped seats on the first floor.

Unlike the comfortable environment in the private room, the stepped seats are crowded and almost everyone is surrounded by people. If the hand movement is slightly larger, it will collide with the people next to you.

"There is indeed no absolute equality between people!"

Seeing this scene, Gray couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In his previous life, as an ordinary office worker, he never enjoyed special treatment. Taking a train is a hard seat, taking a plane is an economy class, and staying in a hotel is the cheapest type...

In this life, with the status of aristocratic children, I enjoy various treatments beyond ordinary people, high-end clothes, maids served, and exquisite food cooked by special chefs...

Comparing the past and after, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
