Chapter 637 Believe in the power of magic

This is the first time for Layton to visit Winter City.

But I have to say that, worthy of the famous Winter King, this Winter City is indeed managed very well. It can be seen from the queues of people lining up to enter the city. Every 50 meters there is a group of knights with elites.

The Crusaders patrolled, and the knights they led were all starting as high knights. The Crusaders under their command were not weak in aura. They wore strong armor and were strong-willed, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.

Don't talk about chaos in this kind of battle. The gangsters will definitely turn around and run away when they see this situation. They will never stay at the entrance of Winter City for more than a second!

The performance of those civilians was also very good.

The procession into the city was in an orderly manner, with one team of carriages and one team of pedestrians. There was no confusion at all. Most of the people had smiles on their faces. Even the farmers were not very good-looking and had tough bodies.

Along the way, the closer to the people of Winter City, the better the living conditions would be. Layton had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the actual situation was much better than what he saw.

These civilians spoke in very low voices, giving people the impression that they were well-educated. They seemed to know a lot of things, and their eyes were full of intelligence, rather than ignorance and confusion and numbness to life.

"Strange, how did the Winter King achieve this..."

Master Leighton couldn't understand.

You must know that even in the highly developed Saint Lotia Empire, civilians could not show such a spiritual outlook.

Although the Saint Lodia Empire does not pay special attention to the life and death of civilians, the lives of civilians living in the Mage Holy Land are much better than those in the empire in the Northern Continent.

Since mages have extremely terrifying productivity, there is no need to levy too many taxes on farmers. In most cases, the farmers' task is to help the mages dig magic crystal mines and repair the structures outside the magic network that gradually wear out over time.

"Where did it come from?"

Finally it was his turn to enter the city.

Layton opened his eyes and stopped his magic meditation.

He is not afraid of being spotted, because he has an extremely powerful item on his body, the Ring of the Silent One, which can help him cover up his aura, making him look almost the same as an ordinary person.

"From Morningside Town."

Layton had already prepared a draft.

No matter which city you go to, interrogation is an essential process. The Saint Rodia Empire does not have this process. That is because there are two giant alchemy mechas more than ten meters high at the city gate.

They automatically identify treacherous people and can blast them into pieces with one shot.

"Name?"

"Leize..."

"Profession?"

"I don't have any career, I just want to come to Winter City to improve my luck..."

Layton acted honest and courteous.

Upon hearing this, the great knight raised his head and glanced at Layton, then took out a magic device from his arms and swept it over Layton's body.

He turned the magic device over and took a look, then put a check mark behind "Mage" in the occupation column on the scroll, and then put a check mark behind "Dishonest" in the attitude column below, and at the bottom there was

There was hostility. The knight thought for a moment and put a check mark behind "neutral".

Layton saw the knight writing "swish, swish, swish". Although he didn't know what the knight was writing, he still felt a little anxious and worried for no reason.

"Leyton, don't panic, you have to believe in the Ring of the Silent One! You have to believe in the power of magic, these people are just a group of knights full of muscles, they don't understand anything!"

That was a gift from his father, there would be absolutely no problem!

"Okay, you can go in. No matter what you want to do in Winter City, please abide by the rules of Winter City, otherwise your body will be hung on the city wall the next day."

The great knight handed the scroll to the bodyguard beside him, and then made way for Layton to enter the city. The words in his mouth seemed to have some meaning.

Layton didn't know whether this was a warning or a personal attack on him. In short, he successfully "sneaked" into Winter City in a state of confusion.

The streets of Winter City were very beautiful under the setting sun, and the dense crowds of people showed the prosperity of the city. Leiton calmed down his somewhat rapid heartbeat, and then felt the magic wave and walked towards the inner city of Winter City.

As he walked, he admired the scenery along the way.

Several children jumped towards me with parchments in their hands.

"Selling newspapers! Winter Weekly, Winter Daily, 1 copper coin each! Know the important events in winter in advance!"

"Buy the Winter City newspaper to help you take a step closer to picking up girls!"

What is a newspaper?

Layton looked confused. This was the first time he heard such a term. He was immediately interested and waved to the children:

"Kid, bring me a newspaper!"

"Oh? Sir, do you want a daily newspaper or a weekly newspaper?"

The child stopped and ran to Leighton happily, his big eyes blinking, looking extremely cute.

Layton noticed that this child had a pair of animal ears, and the tail behind him was swaying from side to side. He was clearly a demi-human who was looked down upon by humans, but now this demi-human child was walking with a group of human children.

It's incredible.

Leiton was a little surprised again and asked with a smile:

"Kid, this is my first time in Winter City. I wonder what the difference is between the daily newspaper and the weekly newspaper? And what are they for?"

"It turns out he is a gentleman from outside." The Asian child showed a surprised look, and then introduced enthusiastically: "The Winter City Newspaper is a publication that records the recent events in Winter City. In addition, there is also the Winter City Newspaper.

Quotes from the king and some interesting stories, yes, and also bard poetry!”

Layton glanced at the newspaper.

You probably understand that this kind of thing is similar to the bulletin board in the city, but now it has become a form that is easier to spread.

He didn't know what it meant.

I just wonder if the farmers in Winter City can understand what is written on it?

"Give me some."

"Two copper coins, Chenge. If you can't read, you can also take the newspaper to a nearby newspaper reading room. There will be a bard there who specializes in reading newspapers~" the demi-human child said with a smile.

"I don't have copper coins..."

Leighton was helpless. The lowest value of money he had was gold coins, and there were endless gold coins to spend. Carrying copper coins would tarnish his noble status.

Layton was not short of money, so he directly took out a gold coin and gave it to the child.

"Here you go."

The demi-human child looked at the gold coins handed to him and looked confused.

"Sir, I can't find this..."

"It's okay, just consider the rest as a tip."

Layton waved his hand indifferently, proudly put the gold coin into the child's hand, and then took away the two newspapers in the basket.

He touched his chin, looked curious, unfolded the newspaper and read it while walking.

"gentlemen?"

"Sir, I will give you the change. How about you wait a moment?"

The Nayana child was on the same spot with a group of friends, anxiously running around in circles.
