Chapter 72: Into the City (1)

According to this inspection, it is impossible for a native of Lorendi to enter the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Yuan thought to himself, he had come to return the nobles' relics, not to mention that he had told Hathaway the news of the Dark Demon Tree, maybe the Upper City Guards would let them in. Thinking like this, Ji Yuan was about to come forward to negotiate, but one person walked out of the group of merchants who were originally standing on the side, and the rest of the people were in a commotion.

"Hames, what are you doing? You're not Lorendi. ”

"Haha, let's see how Hames was driven back, maybe the officer will beat him up."

The man who was called Hames was a fat man with a big belly and a gorgeous dress, and he did not stop when he heard the persuasion or schadenfreude of the crowd, turned his head and smiled mysteriously at the crowd, and said: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with silver coins, and if there is, then use gold coins." Then he turned his head and continued to walk towards the city gate.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Someone spoke: "He wants to use money to buy the officers of the city guard?" It can't be, Lorendi's army is one of the best soldiers in the empire. The others chimed in, not optimistic about Hames.

Ji Yuan wanted to see how this Hames entered the city, and he also watched from the sidelines. Hames walked to the city gate, and the officer, who was clearly acquainted with him, waved for the soldiers to let him go.

Hames walked over with a sneer, whispered a few words to the officer, and quietly took out a magic crystal card, the officer accepted it quietly, pointed to the priest at the city gate and said a few words, Hames nodded again and again, turned his head and shouted the magic crystal power car waiting behind. This car is square-headed, and the carriage is quite large, so it is estimated to be a truck.

The soldier was instructed to open the car door and just casually flipped it over twice and let it go, but at the door James and the driver of the car still honestly came down to be inspected by the priest, of course, passed safe and sound, and before getting into the car, James cast a smug look at everyone from a distance.

Seeing Hames enter the city smoothly, everyone exploded in an uproar.

"It can't be! The Lorendi military regulations stipulate that those who accept bribes will be stripped of their military status, handed over to the court for questioning, and in serious cases, punished by death! The gloating merchant muttered in shock at this time.

"Accepting bribes in broad daylight is a disgrace to Lorendi! How dare the city guards do this! How dare that? A gray-haired old man slammed the cane in his hand in pain, and his tone sounded like that of a native of Lorendi.

A dusty pedestrian in shabby clothes next to him probably couldn't enter the city, held his breath, and when he heard what the old man said, he sneered: "Why don't you dare to do this? I've heard about Lorendi's army in the past, and now it doesn't seem to be a good thing, it's all a bunch of greedy moths! ”

"You... This... Ay! The old man was speechless in a daze, and sighed helplessly for a long time, and walked outside without looking back, but he didn't even enter the city.

Everyone present had heard of Lorendi's strict military discipline, and when they saw this scene at this moment, they couldn't believe it. But this is the case, I can only shake my head and sigh.

But no matter how shocking it is, business has to be done, and life still has to go on. The merchant who was the first to express his shock stepped forward in silence, and after some negotiation, took out a card and handed it to the officer, and entered the city without any problems.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, and a few people also stepped out to spend money to enter the city. Some succeed, others go home in despair. Facing the curious eyes of everyone, the defeated person said bitterly: "It's too dark, they actually charge 10 gold coins per person." ”

"What! 10 gold coins?! There was an exclamation, which seemed like a big number.

"Even if they collect city fees, how dare they be so excessive? You must know that the salary of an ordinary soldier of the city guard is only 2 gold coins a month! One of them was shocked and angry.

"Aren't they afraid of the inspectors of the Law Enforcement Agency?"

Hearing this, an inconspicuous little man in the crowd smiled coldly: "Inspector Guard? The officer standing at the door to collect the money was a loyal lackey of the leader of the City Guard, and now the commander of the north gate of the City Guard is the third young master of the Gattuso family, Colon Gattuso, his eldest brother is the chief executive of the Inquisition, and his second brother is the captain of the Inspector of the Law Enforcement Department. You say, "Who do they need to be afraid of?" ”

"The Gattuso family? Could it be Lorendi's Gattuso Trio? I've heard of their reputation in the imperial capital. So said the well-informed in the crowd.

"Sanjie? It's almost the same to say that it is the second master, the third Kelun is a gentleman who spends all day drinking, and he is over 20 years old and only a median great swordsman (green lord level), and his two elder brothers are completely incomparable in terms of character, cultivation, reputation, or strength and talent. The little man spoke with disdain.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but blush when he heard this, he was nearly 20 years old and only had the strength of a high-ranking swordsman, and the strength of the little man's mouth. But when I think about it, how long have I only been since I started cultivating? How can they compare to these noble children who have been taught by famous teachers since they were young and refined their precious medicinal materials? And it was relieved. As long as you give yourself time, you can surpass them sooner or later.

Hearing the little man say this, everyone fell silent, no matter how wasteful Coren was, but at this moment it was a big mountain pressing on everyone's heads, and there was no other way but to be soft.

At this time, there was a sudden change at the gate of the city.

"Why aren't we allowed in town? Why can they get in? I protest! I'm going to report you to the Inquisition! But it was a group of travelers who were stopped by the city guards, and a young man at the front shouted dissatisfiedly, and the people next to him turned pale when they heard what he said, and it was still too late to stop him.

The officer's face changed, and he laughed twice, "Come on, arrest him for me." I suspect that he is stirring up the people and plotting against him! ”

"Yes!" Two soldiers raised their spears and struck the young man on the head, who was obviously an ordinary man, and was knocked to the ground without saying a word, and when he looked again, he was already unconscious. The group of people who were originally standing scattered like birds and beasts, and they didn't dare to care about their companions lying on the ground.

The officer waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to drag him away, and said majestically: "If there is another offender, just like this person!" ”

Ji Yuan shook his head, it was obvious that the young man would end up miserable, but he was not a second-year young man with an excessive sense of justice, and he would not stand out because of irrelevant people or things. What's more, I am not familiar with life in this strange environment, and I am not alone, so it is impossible to put my companions in danger for the sake of so-called justice.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Ji Yuan stepped forward.

"Huh?" The officer squinted at the Shun people who were walking towards him, dressed in strange clothes, and his delicate face was featureless, and if he had to find something different, he only had a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars, revealing a bit of sharpness for no reason.

Strange, weren't all the Shun people outside called back by Emperor Shun half a year ago? Could it be that these people were released again after the plane fusion announced by the oracle? The officer thought to himself, and subconsciously activated the energy detector that was standard in the city guard.

"Attributeless high-ranking swordsman!?" The officer was taken aback, shouldn't no attribute be no cultivation talent? But he thought about it again, after all, this is a Shun people who can't be guessed by common sense, and if he has no attributes, he has no attributes, looking at him at his age, he is only a high-ranking swordsman, and even if he can cultivate, there are many restrictions.

"Shun people, what are you doing?"

Ji Yuan flipped his wrist, took out the words of the ocean, and said according to the lines that had been rehearsed several times in his mind in advance: "Hello, officer. I am an ordinary traveler, entrusted by Viscount Lauren's last words to return this Word of the Sea to his family. ”

The officer's eyes lit up at the sight of the Whisper of the Sea, a high-end gadget that only nobles could afford, and it was worth thousands of gold coins. Hearing what Ji Yuan said, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, and said with a sad face: "It turned out to be Viscount Lauren, I have been friends with him for many years, but I didn't expect him to go like this, it's really sad." As he spoke, he sighed for a long time.

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but he also said cooperatively: "I didn't expect that the officer and the viscount are old friends, what happened to the viscount is really distressing." ”

The officer pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said with a heavy face: "Thank you very much for sending his relics, but now that the city is closed, you can't go in, let me pass this ocean word to the Viscount's family." As he spoke, he reached out to take it.

Ji Yuan dodged and said with a smile: "Officer, you are entrusted by others and are loyal to people." As promised, I can only give this to the daughter of the Viscount. "Just kidding, this officer is obviously greedy for money and wants to deceive the ocean, of course Ji Yuan will not give it to him. What's more, even if it's true, he can't give it, Ji Yuan still wants to ask that Trenna to help settle a large number of people in the team.
