Hogwarts time travel

"Palace area?" Loya was taken aback by the words. If he didn't know this was reality, he would have thought he was looking at the attacking Allen.

Building a city wall to isolate it from the outside world, does it have a sense of déjà vu?

Under the introduction of Taka, Luo Ya gradually understood what was going on. It turned out that the so-called palace area is a palace complex composed of several palaces, similar to the Forbidden City in ancient China. A city wall was built on the periphery to isolate internal and external connections.

Loya felt a little ridiculous. Other countries used to have city walls, but they were dismantled one after another after entering modern times, and what was left was only as a souvenir. Are there really any countries that still use city walls?

Are you too lazy to disassemble?Or take into account the tourism effect?But I heard from Taka that tourists are not allowed to enter the palace area, so it doesn't look like a tourist attraction.

It seems that the royal family is really afraid and wary of the people outside.

"How do you feel about the royal family?" Loya asked Taka.

"How?" Taka's face turned ugly, "A group of vampires."

Luo Ya touched his nose in embarrassment, "How do you say?"

"The country's finances are already tight, but they still have to keep half of it as royal expenses, and they even set up a trick to make a fortune from us bottom-level people."

"They said that we can do business because of the protection of the royal family, so we have to pay an extra [guardian tax] in addition to the tax. We didn't earn much, and they still have to scrape a layer."

Loya sucked in a breath of air. This is really a modern country. Are you sure it's not some ancient feudal city-state?

"I was going to university outside, but my mother was sick, so I had to come back to take care of her. When my mother recovered from her illness, I must pick her up and leave the country." Taka said firmly.

Loya looked around to see that there was no one around, and leaned over and said, "Have you thought about overthrowing them?"

Loya was ready for Taka to be shocked, but Taka looked very calm, "Why didn't you think about it?"

"Before I went to university, there was an organization in China called 'Salvation Council'. The banner was to overthrow the royal family and establish a country where the people rule. I joined it."

"So what happened to them? Did they succeed?"

"It failed. I didn't know this until I came back from school. There was no movement when the army to save the Congress entered the palace area. The royal family's tax collectors still came out to collect taxes the next day. Nothing changed."

Luo Ya was not surprised. A local organization wanted to counteract state violence?Still too tender.

The car stopped at a checkpoint, where a group of armed troops guarded there, and the people lined up to put money into the tax collector's basket.

"Is this also taxed?" Loya asked Taka.

"Well, road tax." Taka said with a cold face, "It is said that the money collected will be used for road maintenance, but the road has not improved. In the end, the money went into the pocket of the royal family."

Taka stopped the car and let Loya get down. "I won't go there, or I have to collect money, after passing the checkpoint, I will be a city."

Loya nodded and asked him, "Where is the Malindan Desert?"

"That's on the other side of the city, through the city."

"Then I'll hire you for a day tomorrow, how about 500 yuan?"

"Are you going to the Malindan Desert?"

"Just look at the periphery, don't go deep."

Taka hesitated for a moment, "I can be your guide, and it's okay to go deeper, and you can pay a little more."

"Okay! I'll give you 1000 yuan!"

"Deal!" Taka showed his white teeth and agreed.

Taka went back to the airport, and Loya continued to go to the checkpoint.

As a tourist, Luo Ya was exempted from road tax after checking his visa. He passed through the checkpoint, turned around, and saw a poor man hesitated for a while before the checkpoint, and finally turned around and left. Obviously, he was reluctant to pay the road tax Tax.

That might be his meal money.

Loya's impression of King Scobe's royal family became even worse.

Loya continued to walk forward, and soon a tall city wall appeared in front of him.

?

Didn't it mean that the palace area has city walls?

Loya watched people walking towards the city gate hidden in the shadows, feeling a little dazed. If he hadn't been able to see those relatively modern means of transportation, he would have thought he had arrived in ancient times.

There are a lot of discarded garbage under the city wall, and Luo Ya also saw a billboard with terms such as [Tour with a group] written on it.

As the capital of a tourist country, what about the hygienic conditions?

Loya was disappointed. After passing through the city gate, he saw a straight and wide road.

The asphalt-paved road stretches far away, and brick and stone houses are scattered on both sides of it. Most of them have sheds at the door, and a few things are placed inside.

Luo Ya walked over curiously. There were some sculptures on the stalls, and they were all sculptures made of sand. This might be their specialty here.

The boss is a drowsy middle-aged man, leaning on the reclining chair with his head tilted, and uttering a heavy dream from time to time.

Oh, wrong, not drowsy, he was really asleep.

There are some other shops on the street. Loya noticed that one was selling dried meat, and he walked over curiously.

"Boss, what kind of meat is this?"

The owner of this house is also a middle-aged man, the biggest difference from the previous one is that he has not fallen asleep yet, resting his head on his hand, and letting himself go out of boredom.

He was shocked when he heard Luo Ya's words, and even more shocked after seeing Luo Ya's typical outsider's clothes.

"All I sell here are precious "treasures of the desert". Can you afford them?"

The boss knows that these outsiders are a little curious, and the more surprising they say, the easier it is to keep them.

"Oh?" The man on the opposite side really caught the trick, looking very interested.

"I think I should have enough money with me."

"Well, these 'treasures of the desert' are rare and unique animals that can only appear in the center of the Malindan Desert. Eating them can greatly enhance your ability in that aspect..."

The middle-aged man looked at the other party, um, he is a foreigner, he is easy to deceive, and he is still a middle-aged man. At this age, he must be very concerned about his ability in that area, so it must be no problem to say these things.

Loya showed interested eyes, "Give me the whole point."

The boss immediately cut it quickly, packed it and handed it to Luo Ya.

"Brother, come back again after eating well!" The middle-aged man gave Luo Ya a man who knows how to look.

Luo Ya took out the money to the other party, nodded, walked towards the city, and quickly disappeared in front of the middle-aged man.

As soon as Luo Ya disappeared, the boss immediately started to clean up the stall, and it was quickly cleaned up.

"Huh? Did you fool the fat sheep this season?"

The sculpture owner on the opposite side opened his eyes at some point, and asked the butcher shop owner with a smile.

"Hahaha, who made me lucky." The butcher shop owner nimbly carried the remaining meat on his back, and disappeared into the street in three or two steps.
