Chapter 114 Heman City

Keep moving along the road.

On both sides of the road, many vast farmlands gradually appeared, and many farmers were working in the fields.

After spending some copper coins, asking a few farmers, and carefully confirming the direction, Luke kept walking forward again, with more and more traces of human activities on both sides of the road.

"In this unfamiliar area, not knowing the way is really troublesome..."

"It seems that after arriving in Heman City, we must buy some maps so that we can plan our future escape route!"

Luke thought to himself, and continued to move towards Heman City without stopping.

more than an hour later.

In the field of vision, the outline of Hermann City finally appeared.

The walls of Heman City are very low, probably less than two meters high. Looking from outside the city, you can even see the roofs of the buildings inside.

But come to think of it.

This small city with a permanent population of only ten to twenty thousand has no need, nor enough financial resources, to build a tall city wall.

Luke looked around as he continued walking.

At the city gate, there were four or five soldiers patrolling with weapons and wearing leather armor.

"who are you?"

Approaching the city gate, a captain of the city gate guard wearing half armor stopped Luke.

"Mercenary, entrusted by his employer, to go to the city to do business!"

Luke raised his head slightly, revealing a ferocious face that was full of flesh and bisected by a scar, and his tone was full of impatience.

"Hey! Why are you talking to our boss!"

Behind the guard captain, a soldier seemed to want to show his loyalty. Before the captain could speak, he hurriedly jumped out and accused him.

"Um?!"

Luke's eyes narrowed, and the flesh on his face trembled violently. He looked angry and glanced over with murderous eyes.

The soldier who jumped out was startled. He couldn't help but swallowed secretly, and said in a panicked tone: "You...what do you want!"

"Sarodo, get out of here!"

At this time, the captain of the guard flew up and kicked the soldier who jumped out. Then he quickly turned to look at Luke, his face full of flattery: "My lord, the city lord's palace stipulates that the entrance fee is A copper coin."

"Look at..."

"Get it!"

Luke glanced at the captain lightly, threw a copper to the captain, and strode into Heman City without looking back.

"Head? What are you..."

After Luke disappeared from the street, a soldier next to the captain asked in a low voice, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Being a city gate guard here is a lucrative job!

If you want to enter Heman City, the entrance fee stipulated by the city lord is indeed one copper.

But as city gate guards, how could they, the soldiers, not exploit the passing merchants and passers-by?
However, the captain's performance this time was uncharacteristic and really confusing.

"You idiots! Why don't you even have such a sharp eye?"

"Don't go and take a look. The man just now was full of murderous aura, and he was tall and strong. He came from the wild alone... How can such a person be a simple thing when he can travel alone through the wilderness?"

The captain of the guard lowered his voice and warned in a stern tone: "Keep your eyes open from now on. Don't just make money all day long. If you offend such people, you won't even know how you will die!"

The other soldiers agreed one after another, praising the captain for his experience, wisdom and prowess.

It was only then that the captain looked towards the city, where Luke had just disappeared, with a lingering fear on his face.In fact, he has had the ability since he was a child to easily distinguish the strength of other people in close contact.

It is because of this ability and his relatively good command of things that he never offends powerful people.Not only did he avoid many disasters, but he also climbed to the high position of captain of the city guard.

In his perception, the pressure that Luke just put on him was even greater than that of the city lord of Heman City!

This is the important reason why he took the initiative to let him go.

As for the other excuses, they were just made up in passing.

the other side.

Luke didn't know what happened after he left.

"Dressing up like this ferocious mercenary face can indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble!"

Luke was walking on the streets of Heman City, and was very satisfied with the reaction of the soldier leader just now.

He himself was born into a knightly noble family, and his family also controlled a small city.

Naturally, they are very clear about the behavior of the city gate guards taking advantage of the situation and plundering money.

If he hadn't dressed up like this, he would have been exploited if he had just tried to enter Heman City.

That is really troublesome and frustrating.

Looking around again, the pedestrians on the street, as soon as they saw Luke's ferocious face and strong figure, took the initiative to avoid him, their eyes full of fear.

Even the ruffians were avoiding him one after another, not daring to come forward and disturb Luke.

It saved him a lot of little trouble along the way.

"This Heman City is too small, it doesn't even have a decent hotel!"

It only took less than 10 minutes to walk around the city.

According to chip calculations, the entire Hermann City covers an area of ​​less than two square kilometers, with a maximum of 1 residents.

The facilities in the city are very dilapidated. The road surface is ordinary gravel road, and the bottom is full of loess and pebbles. If the wind blows slightly, a burst of dust will fly.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were sallow and thin, looking like they were walking in a hurry. They were wearing coarse linen clothes and were very shabby.

Not only was the city so dirty and messy, but after Luke visited the entire Heman City, he discovered that there was no hotel where he could stay!
"Have all the chips and maps in Heman City been scanned and recorded?"

[The map has been recorded! 】

As the chip responded, a blue three-dimensional map instantly appeared in front of Luke's eyes. Main roads criss-crossed the city, dividing Hermann City into four major areas: east, west, north, south.

There are many small roads intertwined among them, dividing this area of ​​​​the city into mesh-like grids, just like a spread out fishing net.

Among them, the main boundaries in the city, such as the places within the city lord's palace, are also marked with corresponding introductions.

"very good!"

"When you come to this strange city, you are still faced with the enemy chasing behind you. For the sake of safety, you must know the terrain and routes in the city well, so that you can better choose the escape route when facing danger."

"Otherwise, when the pursuers arrive, it will be easy to run around like a headless fly without knowing where to escape!"

Using the chip to transfer the entire map of He-Man City into his brain, a bright smile broke out on Luke's face.

"However, if you want to go to the hotel to rest, you still have to find someone to ask..."

Although using the chip, he can know the map and main routes in the city like the back of his hand.

But a place like a hotel is really not easy to find in a small town like Heman City without a local to guide you.

After spending a few copper coins and asking four or five people, Luke finally found out about a place in the city where passing traders could barely rest.
