Chapter 2207: Saint Nicholas

The capital of the Principality of Sika is named St. Nicholas, which means "Holy Land" in the Southern Harry language family.

It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the Principality of Sika, it was because the Grand Duke of Sika was blessed by the goddess, and in the end he benefited from seeing the goddess appearing holy, and became a divinely blessed knight before finally laying down this country.

Later, after the principality was established, the capital was named St. Nicholas in commemoration of the deeds of the goddess' manifestation.

St. Nicholas is located at the foot of the Artison Mountains, and the terrain itself is relatively high.Overall, this is high ground.Under the special terrain environment, accompanied by several steep passes around, it also makes St. Nicholas easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the beginning of the first Sika Grand Duchy that year, it took a full 6 people to build St. Nicholas after 7 years.In the following 400 years, with the continuous expansion of successive grand dukes, St. Nicholas became bigger and bigger.

In today's season, St. Nicholas, the capital of the Principality of Sika, has long become a well-known city-state on the mainland. Even if it is compared to the southern empire and the royal city of the Kingdom of Xiongastan, it may not be inferior.

Although the Principality of Sika in the southwestern part of the mainland is relatively far from the center of the mainland, it has become one of the important destinations for many business travelers because of its many local specialties, attracting a large number of people to gather here.

It's just that it's the middle of the coldest ice season of the year, and the temperature outside is a bit too low.If it is not necessary, few people are active outside.

It was only when Tang Shaozhe was close to the pass of the capital that he saw a lot of people moving around - after all, no matter what the weather outside was, many poor people still needed to live.

The Atison Mountains stretch for tens of miles, and the mountains are rich in wood and charcoal. In winter, this has undoubtedly become the means for many poor families to survive - go up the mountain to collect firewood or dig carbon to sell.

So ever since Tang Shaozhe saw pedestrians, all he saw were old-faced and thin pedestrians walking slowly with bundles of firewood or baskets of charcoal on their backs.

Although there is no snow today, the sky is obviously a bit gloomy.The thick dark clouds are like mountains poured out of stone and lead, pressing heavily on the sky, and it is almost impossible to see the light of the sun.

Although the sun is also working hard to release light and heat, the meager support it can provide cannot bring much warmth and brightness to pedestrians at all.Most of the passers-by were dressed in linen and had chilblains on their hands, feet and faces.

Compared to them, Tang Shaozhe was at least wearing a slightly thicker woolen coat—although he was no longer afraid of the cold.This kind of cold air doesn't matter at all to a person on the 9th floor of the entrainment period.

But in order to avoid being too outstanding and attracting extra attention, Tang Shaozhe still put on a thick coat when no one was paying attention - of course, there is also a long wooden violin box behind him.

This kind of attire still looked a little strange among many pedestrians at the scene.Obviously, most of the pedestrians around him don't seem to get along very well.You only need to take a look at him to find that he is full of unique demeanor.

But this is already his limit, if he wants to continue to keep a low profile, Tang Shaozhe doesn't know what to do.

Carrying firewood or charcoal like these pedestrians around him, he simply couldn't do it.Even if she pretends to be decent, she will still show up in the end because her temperament is completely inconsistent.

After much deliberation, Tang Shaozhe finally decided to continue walking as a wandering entertainer.As long as it's not too good, it won't attract too many people's attention.After all, his goal this time needs to be dealt with in a low-key manner to be hopeful.

After the previous experience, Tang Shaozhe already knew how powerful the Longevity Sect, Sun Moon Sect, and Cross Sect on the original plane were, and it was simply not enough to use his current strength.

The last experience in the Gray Mist Sea also reminded him that there are not only masters of cultivation in these religions, but also magicians with divine weapons.If you are not sure, it is best to be honest.

After all, this plane is the backstage base of the three great gods. Whether it is Moira, the god of destiny, or Isabel, the goddess of life, and Apollo, the god of light, these three are definitely not existences that he can deal with now.

A little carelessness may bring death, which is definitely a fatal blow to his future plans.

Think about the Alves full of necromantic energy that he saw in the team last time, he was so low-key that he didn't dare to expose any flaws.Perhaps, now he also needs to work hard in this direction to learn how to disguise.

After thinking about it, Tang Shaozhe pulled down the brim of his hat on his forehead, trying to show that he was afraid of the cold.

It is said that although it is not snowing now, the cold wind around is really "swishing" into people's necks.If it wasn't for Tang Shaozhe's cultivation, he might have been too cold to stand.At least with his little clothes, he couldn't bear it at all.

Although all the industrial products from the earth and the interstellar plane are useless now, Tang Shaozhe made a rough estimate and figured it out—the temperature around him is almost ten degrees below zero.

When this temperature is on the earth, it is necessary to wear a down jacket and thermal underwear inside to ensure warmth.

But now looking at those people walking on the side of the road carrying firewood or charcoal, Tang Shaozhe suddenly felt a sense of compassion.The coats they wore were nothing more than old linen clothes.

Tang Shaozhe can say with certainty that there are at most two layers of clothes inside those people's clothes, which are not considered warm materials.Being able to put a heart pad made of fur on the chest is already a measure of maximum warmth.

And the clothes many people wear may not even be able to fully cover their hands and feet, and only their blackened arms or legs are exposed in the cold wind.In this kind of weather, they still need to go out to make a living, which shows how embarrassing their lives have become.

Although Tang Shaozhe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - he didn't know how long he hadn't seen people in such a bad living condition on earth, but now he also understood that he could only ignore what happened.

Once he showed a little bit of sympathy, or took out some food and clothes, then he would definitely be watched by someone with a heart.If you want to do things in a low-key manner, I am afraid it is wishful thinking.

When it was getting dark in the afternoon, Tang Shaozhe finally followed the pedestrians to the front pass of St. Nicholas, the capital of the Principality of Sika - Hot Spring Pass.I heard that on the mountain outside the pass, there is the famous Bell Hot Spring.

This is the news that Tang Shaozhe heard the chatter of a few gatekeeper soldiers when he entered the customs. It seems that Bell Hot Springs is also the Duke's private domain.It is said that every winter, a large number of noble men and women go to take a bath there.

And every year when taking a bath, there are always a lot of gossips, some of which are extremely fragrant.

Among the guards in the cold weather, the rumors of these nobles are a rare condiment for chatting.Anyway, Tang Shaozhe heard some interesting news when he was only paying the fee to enter the customs.

By the way, everyone who wants to enter St. Nicholas City, the capital of the Principality of Sika, must pay a poll tax according to the amount of luggage they carry.Of course, the fee paid by a traveler like Tang Shaozhe who knows everything about himself is not too much.

"Who is it? What are you going to do in St. Nicholas City?" The soldiers guarding the gate were a few rough-looking men holding waist knives or spears in their hands, but they acted with dignity.

However, judging from the uniform military uniforms on their bodies, at least the effect of keeping warm is not bad.And several people were wearing thick canvas gloves on their hands, and their feet were wearing leather boots that could not see any animal fur.

Judging from the strong fluff on the edges of the leather boots that are occasionally exposed, it should be that the inner layer is wrapped with a layer of fur to keep warm.

And the weapons in their hands, whether they were waist knives or spears, were clearly sharp.It can be seen that it is made of high-quality iron, and the flashing light on the knife edge and the tip of the spear means the sharpness of tempered steel.

Physical fitness means that these soldiers have good food, standard military uniforms and sharp knives and guns show their uniform and complete equipment, and the rules of action clearly show that this is a well-trained team.

Through these details, Tang Shaozhe has understood that the Principality of Xika has sufficient training and armament at least in terms of armaments.From another level, it also shows that the situation in the Principality of Sika has stabilized, and the economic situation in the Principality should be good.

Not only food but also equipment and training, all of which cost a lot of money to achieve.In this way, the new Grand Duke Sika should also be regarded as a promising and wise monarch.

But the personal strength of these soldiers is not so high-end. In Tang Shaozhe's opinion, they are about the same as the athletes on the earth.He hasn't even reached the acquired peak, let alone the innate state.

In this way, the cultivators of this plane should still be in the hands of the church. Recalling the mercenaries Tang Shaozhe met in the Thorn Horn Mercenary Group last time, it seems that the armed forces of the nobles and the people are not counted. powerful.

Tang Shaozhe had also seen the power of the knights of the Baron Brown family in the motorcade when he came last time. To be honest, this was a little bit different from the image of the knights he imagined.

At most, it can be regarded as the level of Acquired Peak, other than that, there is nothing special about it.

But Andre, the thieves group I met last time, is a level 2 magic warrior, and his strength is still there.And the necromancer who disappeared in the end left a very deep impression on Tang Shaozhe.

And according to Andre, there are many more powerful magicians in the church than this one!Now, perhaps it is time to face these powerful figures in the legend.A burst of excitement suddenly rose in Tang Shaozhe's heart.
