"These two female slaves were specially selected by the Lord of Tandan City and given to you. In addition to dancing, they also have a lot of fun to watch..."
"Although the dance is good and the person is beautiful, I don't like it as a 'gift'."
Kazama spoke softly without giving Enoch any face.
"Xi'an has abolished slavery and sent slaves to Xi'an. What does the city lord of Tandan mean?"
"This...."
Before Enoch could speak, Kazama looked at the two dancers in the audience.
"Your dancing is very good. From today on, you will stay in Xi'an, but not as slaves. Moreover, I will keep you here not as a gift, but as a redemption for you."
"Enoch, I will pay you later, and it will be considered as ransom for those two women."
"Is it okay?" Kazama asked with a smile.
Being watched by Kazama, Enoch felt a pressure.This kind of behavior is actually the lord expressing his attitude.
The idea behind the gift seemed to be clearly understood by the other party.
This made Enoch's heart sink, and he quickly responded with a smile: "Of course, no problem."
Fortunately, the private confrontation between the two parties was kept to the point and was not brought to the table.
Afterwards, Fengjian raised his cup, the maids in the city lord's palace served food and wine, and the dinner officially began.
What follows can be said to be a feast for the guests and the host.
After the banquet, Kazama personally sent a waiter to take Enoch and his entourage back to their residence.
In the mansion where Enoch stayed, a servant brought tea. Enoch, who was in a drunken state, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked the bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed.The drunken state immediately disappeared, and the whole person regained his clarity.
Putting the bottle back into his arms, Enoch pondered.
"What do you think of tonight's banquet, observing Xi'an now?" Enoch asked slowly.
The slaves had withdrawn from the house to guard, and Hansen was also patrolling outside the house with his guards. Only Rajel was left in the house.
"How about it?"
Hearing Enoch's words, Rajer was stunned for a moment.
If he was asked to make an evaluation, the most concerning thing tonight was the host of the banquet, Xi'an's new city lord.
Without even thinking about it, Rajer opened his mouth and said: "This city lord is actually a very elegant person. He is completely different from what those nobles said..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt his grandfather staring directly at him, and Rajer immediately closed his mouth.
"Ragel, I didn't bring you here to have fun this time."
"Be careful with your words and actions, read more and think more. Did you forget everything I told you when I left Tandan?"
Rajer shook his head and spoke again after a moment:
"There are some people attending the banquet who look different from us. They should be people from the city-state called Rome after the Forbidden Land."
"The rest are the indigenous people of Xi'an. The nobles have been expelled, leaving only a large number of slaves and free people."
"The slaves admire this new city lord very much..."
Rajer remembered the conversation he had with the maid of the city lord's palace before the banquet started.
"The free people seem to be quite convinced of this new city lord."
After hearing what Rajer said, Enoch nodded with some satisfaction.
"This means that the order of the new city lord has been completely stabilized in this city-state. Even if they expel the other party from Xi'an, the group of Xi'an's old nobles want to return to Xi'an and live the same life as before. It’s hard to live a normal life.”
At this point, Enoch sighed.
"Any more, Raj?"
There was a look of distress on Rajer's face. If he had known that he was in Tandan, he would not have begged his grandfather to force him to bring him here.
"If there is anything else..."
Rajel recalled.
"The new city lord's dinner was relatively simple..."
Although the food at the dinner was delicious and sumptuous, compared to the various extravagant and luxurious things at Tandan's noble banquet, Xi'an's banquet was extremely simple in comparison.
If it were placed in Tandan, which is accustomed to luxury, this banquet would probably be ridiculed by the nobles.
After hearing what Rajer said, Enoch fell silent.
After a long while, he said: "But this is a banquet. As a banquet for hosting a city-state, there is nothing rude in etiquette."
"The so-called luxury or not is actually an additional thing imposed by the organizer."
"In other words, the master's character can be completely seen from this."
"The young city lord is not a person who loves pleasure and indulgence."
Enoch commented:
"Indulgence is a common thing among the nobles of the three cities. If you don't indulge, you will be an outlier."
"But in fact, when our ancestors first opened up this paradise, they were also simple and hardworking..."
At this point, Enoch couldn't go on. The butt determines the head, and the system of the Three Stone City determines everything today.
The aristocratic class that is superior to the slaves naturally plunders everything from the slaves, and naturally does not care about the birth of the slaves, and there is no thought of cherishing them at all.
Enoch was considered a relatively restrained person among the nobles, but he still couldn't avoid the enjoyment of nobles.
This is the norm.
Everything Enoch saw today was outside the norm, allowing him to understand that the aristocracy of the Three Stone City he represented was completely different from the existence represented by the young lord.
If such differences do not have common interests, conflicts will arise.
Chapter 1 Tour
"A person who can restrain his desires just shows his inner strength."
Enoch asked himself that when he was young, he would never be able to control himself in the face of such a beautiful dancing slave.If you were in the other person's position, you would probably lose your composure.
It doesn't seem to work well to use wealth and sex to take advantage of the other person's weaknesses.
It was the first day of arriving in Xi'an and the first day of exploring Xi'an. However, the experience of this first day made Enoch feel deeply uneasy.
For an order that has been running for a long time, there is no need for a strongman to appear in it.
"Take another look..."
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Enoch wanted to take a look at Xi'an now, and see something more real and detailed beneath its surface.
Thinking of this, Enoch looked at his grandson:
"You can take a nice walk around Xi'an tomorrow."
"Ok?"
Rajer thought he heard it wrong, but Enoch repeated it again:
"Just take a good tour of Xi'an as a tourist."
As the envoy sent by Tandan, Enoch was not very good at doing such a thing, but Rajer was just right.
"We will stay in Xi'an for three days, and we will leave here the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will stay in the mansion because I need to rest after a long journey. Then you can take a walk around Xi'an."
.......
Time came to the second day.
Early in the morning, Kazama received the news.
It was submitted by Enoch, the envoy from Tandan, stating that he was not in good condition and wanted to rest in Xi'an for a day and meet and discuss again tomorrow.
At the same time, he also mentioned Rajel, saying that his grandson wanted to visit Xi'an.
Baimao has already established an espionage agency in Tandan. Just like when he had not left the forbidden land and Baimao was still in Xi'an, information about blood stones and black stones would be delivered every day.
Enoch is a great nobleman of Tandan. He is very senior. His family has a long-term marriage relationship with the city lord of Tandan.
Enoch came to Xi'an as Tandan's envoy and showed that the changes in Xi'an have indeed attracted the attention of the other two city-states.
Enoch's information, including his grandson Rajel's, is backed up here in Kazama.
"Want to take a walk in Xi'an?"
Sitting behind the table, looking at the attendant who handed over the news, there was no reason to refuse such a thing.
"However, a visitor is a guest. Since the guest wants to play in the master's territory, it is reasonable for the master to entertain him personally."
Kazama thought of something and smiled.
Speaking of which, since he left the Forbidden Land and came to Xi'an, he rarely gave himself time to rest and relax.
"Let's take this opportunity to relax a little..."
Fengjian said to himself, and then ordered to the attendant: "Get ready for a while, I will accompany this 'noble young master' from Tandan to visit Xi'an."
........
Rajer was waiting outside the door wearing the same red robe as yesterday.
There were some light black marks around his eyes on his fair face. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest yesterday, but this did not affect Rajer's interest.
Hansen stood beside him. Since Xi'an slaves were liberated from their shackles, most of them hated the old aristocratic slave owners. Just in case, Enoch sent Hansen to follow him as a guard.
Even if his weapons are confiscated, as a warrior who has experienced baptism, Hansen can easily deal with dozens of ordinary people.
After all, Rajer is one of the Tandan envoys. If he wants to go out for fun, Xi'an will also send someone by his side, not only as a guide, but also as a surveillance in a sense.
While Rajer was getting a little anxious in waiting, someone from Xi'an finally came to pick him up.
Rajer followed Hansen and walked out of the original Noble Street. In the shadow of the building at the exit of the street, two people were waiting for him.
As for why Rajer was sure that this was the person on Xi'an's side who was responsible for taking him on a tour, it was because Rajer knew both of them.
"Kaze...Kazema-sama?!"
The young lord was still wearing a loose white robe today and was standing at the street corner.
The other person standing behind Fengjian was a strong man.
Rajer had the impression that the man was also a participant in the banquet last night.
Kazama also saw Rajer and waved to summon him.
Rajer saluted Fengjian with some restraint: "Lord City Lord, why do you..."
"Just call me by my name, Raj. You don't have to be so reserved. In fact, I'm not much older than you."
"As for why I am here..."
Fengjian looked at Rajel with a half-smile:
"Your grandfather wanted to take a day off because he was tired from traveling. The original negotiation was postponed for a day. Naturally, I also have half a day's free time. I might as well take you to visit Xi'an myself."
"Why, you don't seem very happy?"
"Nothing!"
Rajer shook his head like a rattle: "I just feel a little flattered. After all, you are the lord of a city, so how can I alarm you."
Fengjian laughed: "You don't have to think so. In fact, after finishing work, I often walk around Xi'an. This is also part of the work and can be regarded as a kind of relaxation."
"In that case, would it bother you?"
Kazama's performance was much more approachable than the majestic way he sat at the banquet last night.
Rajer himself was not a timid person, and after the conversation, his restraint gradually disappeared.
He did not have as much in-depth speculation about this young lord as his grandfather did, and he was not as worried and wary as he was.He was more purely curious about Kazama.
"Sure enough, you are completely different from what the Xi'an nobles you expelled said." Rajer said subconsciously.
"Oh, what did those guys I drove away say in Tandan?"
It was already tacitly understood that Xi'an's old nobles had defected to the two cities of Bloodstone and Blackstone.
"I can roughly guess what they will talk about, such as brutal savages, ugly barbarians, crazy monsters, etc."
