As the largest city in the Bremen Region, Bremen City did not have only one gate like Hogan City.
Gao De took a detour for nearly half an hour, deliberately avoiding the caravan and entering through another gate: River Gate.
Bremen City saw an enormous flow of visitors every day. Even with multiple gates diverting the crowds, it was still the same.
Thus, when Gao De strode steadily into the city, he did not draw anyone's attention.
Only a group of plainly dressed young men loitering near the city gate noticed him.
After exchanging a few words among themselves, a young man in coarse linen clothes came forward.
"Hello, sir. Do you need a guide? I know most parts of the city very well. I even know where the wandering stalls will be today."
"Whether you need lodging, want to find someone, or are looking for work, I can point you in the right direction."
Clearly, Gao De, dusty from travel and carrying a bundle, made it obvious that he was an outsider.
For someone newly arrived, having a guide familiar with the local area was indeed necessary.
Gao De thought for a moment and asked the crucial question:
"How much?"
"Sir, one silver coin will hire me for the entire afternoon!" the linen-clad young man said delightedly.
"Fine. Then lead the way." Gao De took out a silver coin from his pocket and tossed it to him.
—Well aware that wealth should not be flaunted, Gao De had tucked the money pouch containing most of his gold coins inside his clothes, carrying only a small amount of loose change for daily use in his pocket.
That way, he would not expose his wealth while taking out money and draw the attention of those with ulterior motives.
