The city of Lordman in this era does not have the tidy and beautiful ancient architecture that comes to mind when thinking of modern travel. After all, for the people living in this time, this is simply their home and place of residence.
During this era, public sanitation might be important in some places, but that doesn't include Coletos.
What unfolds before Feng Yuan is a city full of the spirit of the times, yet utterly filthy and untidy.
Feng Yuan did not make a point of avoiding the filth on the ground. Being in the Northern Snow Plain, this sludge has long been frozen by the cold weather, not to mention Feng Yuan is now dressed like an Ascetic.
If an Ascetic exhibited an unusual cleanliness, that would be a major problem, especially in this era, where outsiders are generally more scrutinized. Were it not for the reputation of Ascetics, Feng Yuan probably would have been apprehended by guards the moment he appeared.
