A few days later, Rowen and Agatha arrived in Vaga City at noon.
Vaga City is also one of the great cities of the empire, and Vaga is also known as the city of Ni Shang (clothes), or the city of beauty. By contrast, Vaga is best known as the Fallen City.
The city of Vaga is first known for having some of the most beautiful clothing in the empire. At that time, the Vaga City was a clothing city. No matter civilians or nobles, they could buy the clothes they want in here. At this time, Vaga city is called the city of Ni Shang (clothes).
As Vaga’s fame grows, many new things have come into being. Firstly, there are some beautiful women who display clothes. They wear various kinds of beautiful clothes and appear in the streets and alleys of Vaga city, attracting those girls and ladies to buy those clothes. Because there are so many beauties here, it is called the capital of beauty.
Later, this kind of dress promotion is to be held here every year. Beautiful dress models gradually begin to attract the attention of numerous men. When the rich ladies of the empire are staring at the clothes on the models, the rich nobles are just eyeing at the models.
More and more pleasure-seekers appear in Vaga City, and beautiful models seem unable to meet the demand, therefore, a large number of brothels begin to emerge. Those beautiful clothes are not only worn by rich ladies, but also by famous prostitutes in the brothel, who actually become the spokeswomen for some kinds of clothing.
Entertainment facilities such as casinos also emerge, and Vaga city eventually becomes a fallen city. Women come here and fall because of the beautiful clothes and the rich men come here and fall because of those fallen women. Others would indulge in casinos, and because of its mix of people, it has become the most crime-ridden city in the empire.
Agatha is so interested in the place that she wants to spend a few days there before going on, and when she finds a hotel to stay in, she takes Rowen outside as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that Agatha’s dress soon attracts a lot of attention, and so does Rowen. Rowen doesn’t mind much about it, and the only thing he wants to know is why Agatha is interested in this place.
Seeing Agatha dragging herself towards a large clothing store, Rowen finally says, “Is there anything here that suits you?”
“Look, I don’t have to dress like this every day.” Says Agatha quickly.
Rowen approves of Agatha’s remark, to tell the truth, he doesn’t want to face an iron lady every day.
“Not so good!
“Not pretty!
‘It’s awful!
A few hours later, Rowen is disappointed, and Agatha, after looking at a number of fine clothes and judging them, comes to the conclusion that they don’t look good. She thinks her metallic clothing is the best, which means that she has no intention of changing into another one.
“These people are so blind. What’s so beautiful about these clothes!” When Agatha makes another comment on a rather sexy dress, Rowen finally can’t stand and grabs her hand to pull her out.
“Why?” Agatha looks puzzled, but follows Rowen out.
“You don’t like them at all. Then, we should not look at them. Let’s go play with something else.” Says Rowen, who would go mad if he follows her around like this.
“All right then, let’s go to the casino!” Says Agatha quickly.
“Can you bet?” Rowen looks at her a little strangely.
“Just because I don’t how to play, I should try it!” says Agatha bravely.
“Come on, it’s almost dark. We’ll leave tomorrow.” Rowen doesn’t want to play very much.
“Stupid, casinos are only fun at night!” Agatha pulls Rowen’s arm forward. let’s go!”
Rowen finally realizes that it is not a good idea to have a warrior fiancee. Agatha is obviously much stronger than he is, and he has to follower her pace.
It is a group of twenties. They dress well, but Rowen does not feel comfortable. Particularly, he dislikes the one in the middle, who has sunken eyes, a thin, sleepy face, and a pair of tinted eyes focusing on the key parts of Agatha’s body.
“Hey, get out of the way!” Cries Agatha disapprovingly.
“Who is this model? Why haven’t I seen it? That goat speaks, and it is clearly that he is the leader of the group.
“Well, Master Baker, neither have I. You didn’t hide her, did you?” The other people laugh when he says this.
“Yes, yes, Master Baker, is this the best woman? You hide her so deep, look her clothes, we can’t see clearly!” Echoes another.
“No, neither have I. I have to take off her clothes to see what she looks like!” The sleepy fellow comes up to Agatha with a dirty smile on his face.
“Go out!” A deep cry comes from Rederot, an ordinary middle-aged man, who is so powerful that even Agatha is no match for him. No wonder he is sent to protect Agatha.
“What? you tell me what?” The sleeper, Master Baker, as the others called him, points to himself. “Hey, old chap, do you know who I am?”
“I don’t care who you are!” Agatha takes a step forward and blazes. “If you don’t get out of the way, I will kill you!”
“Miss, don’t get your hands dirty with such people.” “Let me solve it.” Rederot says softly.
“Uncle Rederot, I’m trying to fight!” “Now, you idiots, I’ll give you one last chance, get out of here now, or I’ll do you a disservice!’
“Ha ha ha… “The group laughs together as if they have heard some great joke.
After the laughter, that Baker puts out his hand and intends to touch Agatha. “Young lady, I’m just interested in the way you dress. It’s your pleasure to attracts me, you know Uh!”
Before he has finished speaking, Baker lets out a bitter snort and falls on the ground with a splash. That fellow even wants to touch Agatha’s breast directly. How could lady Agatha, who has no good nature, let him take advantage of it?
She swings her fist and hits master Baker in the head, and the unfortunate Baker naturally falls down without any doubt.
“Oh, Baker’s dead!” Suddenly one of the men cries out in horror, and all the men look at Agatha. “You, you killed master Baker?’
“Dead?” Agatha is a little surprised. “Dead so soon? I want to give him a good spanking, too fresh.”
Rederot squats to check, then nods to Agatha. “He’s really dead, ma ‘am.”
“Oh, dead, this guy even wants to take advantage of me, he is asking for trouble!” Says Agatha unconcernedly. Then she glares at the group, “Do you want to die, too?”
The men looked terrified, first at the dead bodies on the ground, then suddenly turn and scatter.
Rederot frowns slightly as they hurry away. Suddenly he springs up, appearing quickly behind a man. He grabs him by the neck, and carries him back like a chicken.
“Uncle Rederot, why do you catch him?” Agatha is a little confused.
“Their reaction is a little abnormal.” “The man you’ve just killed seems to be something special. We’d better figure out first.”
At this point, Rederot turns to the man he captured and asked coldly, “tell me, who is this Baker?”
“Go away before anyone notices, and pretend it never happened, so that we can all live, or we will die!” The man says quickly with his eyes full of fear.
“Answer my question, or you’ll die soon!” Rederot says coldly. “We’ve already killed one. Don’t mind killing another!”
“His name is Baker Solomon, and his father is Sarce Solomon, the only son of Sarce, and he will kill not only you, but all of us who are with master Baker!” Says the man quickly. “Hurry away, and we won’t tell!”
“Well, get out!” Rederot lets go and hisses.
The man flees in a hurry. Rederot looks at Agatha and frowns. “We’d better get out of here, young lady.”
“I won’t go, I haven’t had enough, and I’m not afraid of them!” grunts Agatha.
“I’m afraid we can’t go even if we want to,” Rowen mutters. There is a sudden sound of hooves, and dozens of knights are galloping towards them. They have come to them in the blink of an eye.
First, one knight holding a long sword points at them. “Seize them, the Lord of the town wants them alive!”
There is a roar from Rederot, and the Dou Qi shows a beautiful arc of silver air, and then screams, and in an instant dozens of knights break in two and fall to the ground.
“My lady, it’s too late, we should first go back to the hotel. We should pack up and leave immediately!” Rasps Rederot.
“All right!” Agatha does not object this time. “I can’t play now, anyway!’
