Chapter 72 Lady Misou
As the largest city in the Bremen region, Bremen City does not have only one gate like Hogan City.
Gaode took a detour for half an hour and chose to stagger with the convoy and enter the city through another gate: Hemen.
Bremen City has a huge daily passenger flow, even if it is diverted through multiple city gates.
So when Gothe stepped into the city steadily, he didn't attract anyone's attention.
Only a group of plainly dressed teenagers wandering near the city gate noticed him.
After a moment of communication, a young man wearing sackcloth came up to them.
"Hello, sir, do you need a guide? I know most of the areas in the city very well, including the wandering stalls. I know where they are today."
"Whether you are looking for accommodation, someone, or a job, I can give you directions."
Obviously, Gothe, who is traveling and carrying a package, makes his identity as a foreigner obvious.
When you first arrive, it is really necessary to have a guide who is familiar with the local area.
Gothe thought for a while and asked the key question:
"How to charge?"
"Sir, you can hire me for a whole afternoon for 1 silver coin!" The boy in Mai said happily.
"Okay, then lead the way." Gothe took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it to the young man.
——Gaode, who was well versed in the principle of not revealing wealth, stuffed the money bag containing most of the gold coins in his arms, and only put a small amount of change in his pocket for daily use.
This way, when you withdraw money, you will not expose your property and arouse the prying eyes of interested people.
During the journey, Gaode had already planned where to go and what to do after entering the city.
The first thing to do when entering the city is to rent an apartment.
If nothing else happens, he will stay in Bremen for a long time. It is not cost-effective to stay in a hotel because the cost is too high.
"Sir, if you want to rent a house in Bremen, there are many choices." A young man named Lehmann, after hearing Gaode's needs, immediately introduced it to Gaode in detail.
"First of all, the Shenliu District has the best environment, the best security, and the strictest security. Most of the city's nobles, top wealthy businessmen, and mages live there."
"But the annual rent for the houses there is more than 200 gold coins."
"Then there are houses in the Siren District, which is the most prosperous main business district in Bremen. Life is convenient and the environment is very good. Of course, the house prices are not cheap. The annual rent is basically between 100 and 200 gold coins."
It's good, I still don't have to think about it
"There are also houses in the Deviss District. Deviss Street is full of small shops. Although it is not as good as the Siren District, it can still be regarded as a commercial district, with good security and convenient life."
"The annual rent for houses here is generally between 20 and 100 gold coins."
"Then there are houses in the Carmond District. There are many small handicraft workshops near Carmond Street, and most of the residents are craftsmen from the area."
"Or the houses in the Tecton District. The people living in the Tecton District are generally employees of the city's shops."
"The housing conditions in these two districts are lower-middle class. Of course, the prices are also cheap. The annual rent is generally around 20 gold."
"As for the cheapest house in Bremen, it is in the Hogan district, where a house can be rented for only 2 gold per week, which is only 5 gold and 4 silver in a year."
Gaode can see it.
District names and street names in Bremen are directly named after cities in the Bremen region.
What is very sad is that the cheapest house in Bremen is in the Hogan district.
Gothe, who had just left Hogan, had no intention of "revisiting his hometown" and eliminated the Hogan district without hesitation.
"Take me to Carmond Street." Gothe thought for a while and said to Lyman.
"Sir, the city of Bremen is very large, and each district is far apart. We are now at the River Gate, and it is a full six or seven kilometers from here to Cammond Street!" Lyman reminded tactfully.
Good guy!
Gaode was startled.
At a cursory glance, the size of the city of Bremen may be comparable to the third- and fourth-tier cities in its previous life.
"Then take a carriage over there." Gao De was very persuaded.
"Sir, we can wait here for a few minutes. The next public carriage to Cammond Street will be here soon."
"Public carriage?" It sounds very novel. Obviously, this thing does not exist in Hogan City. It seems that it is very likely to be exclusive to big cities like Bremen.
"Yes, a public carriage costs 2 copper coins for a short journey and 4 copper coins for a full journey. From here to the Camund district, it only costs 4 copper coins per person. If you hire a taxi, you will need at least 16 copper coins." Lyman calculated for Gaude.
"Okay, let's wait."
About three or four minutes later, accompanied by the sound of wheels creaking, a platform-shaped carriage pulled by two horses appeared in sight and stopped near the river gate.
Approximately twenty people got off the carriage.
The carriage is double-decker, with the door at the back and fifteen live windows.
The car can seat twelve people, and fourteen more people can sit on the second floor above, which can be raised and lowered with a ladder.
The driver sat on the roof of the car.
There is also a staff member collecting fares next to the car door.
This really gave Gaode a new look.
"Two of you, go to Carmond Street." Gothe took out a silver coin and handed it to the staff who collected the fare.
"Full ticket, 4 coppers, 8 coppers for two people, 4 coppers for you!" The staff took out 4 copper coins from the money collection box and handed them to Gaode.
"Okay." Gothe collected the money and took Lyman to the second floor of the carriage.
After staying in place for about ten minutes, the carriage was filled with passengers and started to set off.
As you walk along the street, you will see houses with chimneys and some with garden-like yards.
Passengers came and went along the way, up and down.
Because this kind of public carriage does not have a so-called stop, it only has a fixed route. It can stop and get on at any time on the road.
The journey was smooth without too many twists and turns. About forty minutes later, Gothe arrived at Cammond Street.
"Lead the way to No. 267 Cammond Street." After getting off the bus, Gaode had a clear goal.
"No problem, sir, come with me." Lyman vowed.
Under Lyman’s guidance, Gaude came to No. 267 Cammond Street, a semi-detached two-story building.
The small building has fine carving decoration and stone base.
There are various flowers planted on both sides of the door, which shows that the owner of the house is an interesting person.
The windows of the small building are equipped with linen curtains, which flutter gently in the wind.
There are two wisterias growing all the way at the door, intertwining with each other, until they reach the window, adding a bit of wildness to the whole building.
Gaode slowly stepped onto the steps in front of the small building, raised his right hand, and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
Ten seconds later, the heavy wooden door was opened. A woman wearing an ankle-length silk robe stood at the door and looked at Gaode warily.
「Who are you?」
"Hello, I'm looking for Mrs. Misu." Gothe said with a smile.
