Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

This was the first time Rod had left the palace since he had awakened his memories of his past life.

He was full of expectations for the other world, but he regretted it as soon as he left the house.

There was hardly a good road in the entire Elseran.

Even the main roads were bumpy dirt roads. If there was a strong wind, the whole city would be filled with yellow sandstorms.

Rod could imagine how muddy the streets would be on rainy days.

What was even more unbearable to him was the pungent smell of feces.

Yellow objects could be seen everywhere on the road. Even if passers-by stepped on them out of curiosity about the identities of Rod and Rita, they would not seem to curse, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

Rod was silent when he saw this scene.

“…….Rita.”

Before Rod finished speaking, Rita immediately lowered her head in understanding.

“I have put the repair of roads and the construction of public toilets on the agenda. After I spend half a day studying the role of magic in infrastructure, I will submit a complete construction plan.”

Rhode heaved a sigh of relief and felt fortunate.

Fortunately, the one summoned was Rita, who had modern ideas…..

It’s good to have a capable secretary.

The two of them followed the main road to the main gate of the capital and observed secretly.

Rhode was silenced again.

“…….Rita, have you seen the history of the country recorded in the palace?”

“Yes”

“How about the description of the capital city of Elserran?”

Rita’s expression was also a little subtle, and she organized her words.

“The capital of Elseran is the most beautiful city in the strife zone, and a fertile land that many civilians yearn for.”

“It is a vast city with tall walls made of solid black stone. No monster can cross it.”

“Living in Elserland is a supreme honor, and it guarantees absolute safety.”

Rhode’s mouth twitched slightly.

He suspected that he had seen it wrong. He used his six eyes to observe it carefully several times, and finally confirmed speechlessly that the so-called”high black stone wall” referred to the earth slope less than three meters high in front of him.

Rita continued

“There are many shops in Elserland, and tourists are everywhere. All merchants are proud to open shops in Elserland.”

Rod looked around with his eyelids twitching slightly. The streets were lined with dilapidated and leaky houses, and the old houses that had not been inhabited for many years were crumbling.

Ragged, young children timidly begged from the occasional passers-by with broken bowls, but were constantly pushed aside roughly.

They looked pale and thin, obviously they had not eaten for a long time.

“The most magnificent palace in Elserland is undoubtedly the royal palace. The tableware is carved from crystal, the floor is covered with carpets sewn with gold threads, and the walls are covered with dazzling gold and silver decorations…….”

Rhode couldn’t bear to listen any longer, so he quickly interrupted Rita’s speech, which was deliberately chanting in an aria.

“It’s ok. I know very well how shabby the palace is.”

“The person who compiled that book is really talented. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have almost believed this nonsense. Can’t he have a little literary character?”

Seeing Rhode’s childish and embarrassed look, Rita covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

“Maybe the late king forced him to describe it this way with a knife.”

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head.

“Well, you nevermind, it’s really possible.”

But Rhodes knew in his heart that the current dilapidated situation in the capital was not necessarily the fault of the previous king.

Being able to protect the safety of one side in the disputed area is enough to be called a great feat.

As for wanting to create a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone is well fed and lives and works in peace, I’m afraid that people in this world don’t even dare to have the fantasy.

Rhodes pondered for a long time and cast his gaze back to the soldiers on both sides of the gate.

The guards guarding the gate seemed to be veterans who had retired from the battlefield, and they were much more dedicated than the guards in the palace.

Rhodes used six eyes to observe them and found that ordinary guards also had the power of superior swordsmen, and the captain was infinitely close to the sword saint.

It’s just that all of them had injuries of varying degrees, which not only reduced their combat effectiveness, but also hindered their possibility of becoming stronger.

Rita observed the soldiers’ skillful movements of eating and taking buckles, leaned down, and reminded them softly

“According to Senior Lilia, the previous king had been fighting for many years, which left the treasury empty. The soldiers had to find another way to support their families.”

“It’s better to say that they still didn’t think of betraying at this time, which can be regarded as loyalty.”

Rhode nodded silently

“Don’t worry, I don’t mean to blame them.”

He pointed at the captain holding a spear.

“”Rita, bring him here. I have something to ask.”

Rita nodded. When she walked to the other side, the captain was frightened by the powerful aura emanating from Rita and almost sounded the alarm. The captain followed the direction of Rita’s finger and saw Rhodes nodding. His eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly followed Rita to Rhodes’ side. Rhodes waved his hand to interrupt the other party’s intention to kneel.

���Ask questions directly

“No need to salute, what’s your name?”

The captain subconsciously lowered his head in obedience.

“Your Majesty, my name is Nathan Reitbart, and I am temporarily serving as the captain of the Royal Guard.”
