Chapter 557 Demon Slayer

The next morning, everyone quickened their pace and set off. The population along the way became more and more dense. The villagers in simple linen clothes looked at these nobles in gorgeous clothes with awe, and there was more curiosity than fear in their eyes.

The deeper they went, the bolder people became. There were even children chasing them for a while, but they were soon left behind.

Near noon, a "grand" "city" came into Li Rui's sight. The densely packed wooden houses spread for nearly ten miles, and in the middle was a building similar to the Japanese castle tower, which looked ancient.

"Is this the "capital" of [Beibai Ze]?"

Luo Li pursed her lips, her face full of disappointment.

It is said to be the most prosperous and powerful capital within hundreds of miles, and it is not even comparable to the scale of any small county in the country!

"The permanent population is only 70,000, which is already one of the largest capitals. What else do you want?"

Li Rui rubbed her head and chuckled.

The unique environment of [Izumo Country] has created a unique social structure. The productivity is like this. It is not easy to accumulate such a city.

The name of the "capital" of [Beibai Ze] is [Beibai Ze], or it can be said that this country was originally developed from a village called [Beibai Ze], which is also the origin of most of the countries in the secret realm of [Izumo Country].

Approaching this city, the first thing that comes into view is the simple farmers, followed by a wooden wall more than four meters high.

The tops of the logs are sharpened to prevent climbing. It seems that it is not for defense, but rather a boundary to distinguish the outer city from the inner city.

"Jubei! Look!"

The gatekeeper saw Li Rui and his party from a distance, and his heart was shocked.

Only the nobles can afford those gorgeous clothes.

Not daring to look more, the two soldiers tightened their nerves and accelerated the action of driving away the civilians to make room for the nobles behind.

When everyone approached, Jubei could see the beautiful faces of the girls, and a blush rose on his face, and he lowered his head unnaturally.

Which country should they be princesses of?

They are so beautiful. If I could serve them, I would be willing to live ten years less!

Not noticing the thoughts of the passerby soldiers, Li Rui and others wanted to line up quietly, but unexpectedly, everyone in front of them stepped aside in fear, bowed their heads respectfully, and made way for them.

Looking at his clothes, Li Rui remembered that when a noble in ancient Japan traveled, the civilians along the way had to prostrate themselves on the ground. If they accidentally took a peek, they might be hacked to death on the spot.

I didn't expect that I could also experience the evil feudal system.

Li Rui was full of emotion, but his face was clear, as if he had long been accustomed to such scenes and looked very familiar.

Seeing the nobles approaching the city wall, Jubei plucked up his courage, tidied his armor, and greeted them respectfully.

"Hello, sir."

"Yes."

Li Rui nodded casually, but he was a little confused.

It seems that there was an entrance fee in ancient times. Do you have to pay?

Li Rui and Jubei stared at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

How can I appear to be very familiar and often go in and out of the "big city"?

Waiting online, very urgent!

Li Rui touched the coins in his pocket, wondering whether he should take the initiative to pay.

Seeing that the noble seemed a little unhappy, Jubei's forehead was covered with sweat, and he spoke with a stiff face.

"I wonder what business the lord has in coming to [Beibai Ze]?"

"We traveled around the world, killed demons, and passed by your place. We want to rest for a few days."

Li Rui copied an obscure and difficult ancient language, which frightened Jubei.

Li Rui didn't know that the common language of [Izumo Country] summarized by [Forward Base] was the language used by the upper nobles of various countries.

Its grammatical format and wording are very different from the daily language used by civilians. If Jubei hadn't served the nobles, he really couldn't understand what he said.

"It turned out to be the demon slayer, I'm sorry, please!"

Jubei stepped aside, lowered his head, and the sweat on his face condensed into beads of sweat, dripping down his chin to the ground.

That's it?

No money?

Li Rui was stunned at first, and then he put the half-finished coin back, then nodded proudly and walked into the city gate with his teammates.

It was not until they walked away that the silent city gate became lively again.

People straightened their sore backs and excitedly discussed what they had just seen and heard.

For many civilians with shallow knowledge, being able to get close to such a noble demon slayer is already a lifetime of talk!

However, Jubei handed the task of guarding the gate to his companions and left in a hurry.

………………

"What? Traveling demon slayers?"

"Yes, they have noble temperaments, extraordinary conversation, exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and even no traces of weaving can be seen. I dare not neglect them and come to report immediately."

Jubei half-knelt in front of the superior and repeated the scene just now in a vivid way.

The combat effectiveness of these soldiers guarding the city gate is not very good, but their vision is first-class vicious.

With a quick glance, who can afford to provoke and who can't, you basically know in your heart!

"Did you ask their names?"

"I'm so damned, I didn't dare ask, please forgive me, Master Katayama!"

"What are their appearance characteristics?"

Jubei quickly described the appearance of Li Rui and his group.

"Wait, white skin as white as snow, golden hair, blue eyes, beautiful facial features that are different from ordinary people? There are half-demons in the demon slayer team?"

Speaking of Luo Li's appearance, Katayama Yuan's heart suddenly moved.

"I don't know, but that nobleman doesn't seem to have the characteristics of a half-demon."

"Well... I know, you go down."

Sending Jubei away, Katayama Yuan sat there and pondered for a long time.

Unlike ordinary soldiers, he knew that many "strange people" had come to the vicinity recently!

Some of them looked like what Jubei described, different from ordinary people, and very similar to the legendary Semu people.

Could it be that those demon slayers came from that place?

They have a lot of good things in their hands!

The impact of Earth's industrial products on primitive society is not a little bit, Katayama Yuan's eyes flashed a trace of greed, but then suppressed it.

Such a big thing, he can't make the decision alone, he must report to the family elders.

At the same time, Li Rui and others have been walking around the city, and as expected, they have gained awe along the way.

"Fuck, we are here to gather intelligence, not to show off!"

After finding an inn, Li Rui threw his clothes to the ground.

He asked his subordinates to prepare the clothes that the locals wore. He originally planned to infiltrate the masses, but it turned out to be like a superstar at a concert. Wherever he went, people would stare at him. What kind of intelligence was this?

I don't know if it's because of the change of seasons, but the warm wind has made me dizzy and my limbs sore recently. My typing efficiency has dropped sharply. I can only barely type two chapters in the time I could have typed three chapters. My head is about to explode! (°ω°｀)
