Chapter 506: High Heel Blueprint

Normally there were spirit-energy carts and horse carriages at the village entrance.

But right now there was only one horse carriage, and it was hiding far away, trying to stay out of sight.

Probably that group of nobles from earlier had scared them all off.

These were all run by villagers.

Even if they didn't know each other, they were familiar faces.

Zhao Chi left through the village entrance every day, saw them daily, so he could count them as acquaintances.

Zhao Chi walked over: "Uncle Liu, how much to town?"

Uncle Liu glanced left and right: "Zhao Chi, what did that bunch come here for? They came in a threatening manner, especially the group behind — never seen them before."

Zhao Chi said: "The rebels have been acting up lately, came to investigate."

Uncle Liu nodded: "Investigating rebels, what the hell are they investigating here?! I tell you, these nobles have nothing better to do all day, always fucking raiding randomly! If I were a noble, I'd just lie around in District 7 every day, with two exotic beauties in my arms — who'd bother running out to the countryside?"

The exotic beauties Uncle Liu mentioned were definitely not the exotic-race people Zhao Chi had just seen.

He meant female elves, rabbit-women, that sort.

But Zhao Chi very much agreed with what he said.

"Exactly, if I were a noble I'd be the same."

Uncle Liu laughed: "Haha, right on. Don't look at it like freeloading till you die — it's still better than harming common folk, right? You agree?"

"Mm, yeah. How much to town?"

"Town's not too peaceful lately, I can only take you to the edge of town — 45 copper coins."

45 copper coins wasn't too expensive.

But if it were the old Zhao Chi, he'd definitely haggle.

Things were different now.

"Fine, let's go, Uncle Liu."

"Alright, get in!"

The carriage was very bumpy.

Especially when going fast.

But it was much faster than Zhao Chi running.

There were far fewer people on the road than usual.

But soldiers were noticeably more numerous.

Zhao Chi's carriage was stopped and checked once, but these soldiers weren't noble troops — just ordinary soldiers, commoners themselves.

Routine inspection, they wouldn't make things too hard for regular people.

Though occasionally you'd run into some trash soldiers, and then you'd need to slip them a few silver coins.

Bumpy all the way, but they arrived quickly.

Maybe because it was still early — just past eight — half the shops hadn't opened yet.

Only the breakfast stalls were open as always, unmoved by anything.

After all, it was just a town — the only truly bustling street was one main avenue.

Walk from the south end to the north end, and you've seen the whole town.
