To be sure, the "security deposit" is a good deal for the city's security administrators, as well as a constraint on potential violators. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, no one likes to be restricted, especially with this mandatory deposit payment.

Any public policy is presented with a dilemma: the interests of some must be harmed by the interests of others.

The harsher reality is that most people take public services for granted and do not realize that they are enjoying them cheaply or even for free. On the other hand, when public policies harm their own interests, they will sensitively express their dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the people outside the city gate have long been dissatisfied with the policy of "security deposit", and when they saw that someone was stirring up trouble, they immediately clamored and spoke out in support of Daria, criticizing the guards for not "looking at people with colored glasses", after all, the camp aura can only simply summarize a person's past behavior, and cannot judge whether a person has abandoned evil and followed good, and it is too rough and bureaucratic to evaluate a person's good or bad in this way.

The guards were all young people who had not been in the army for a long time, and where they had experienced this encounter, they were immediately panicked when they were condemned by everyone, and they didn't know how to deal with the chaos in front of them.

Roland witnessed this farce and sighed secretly. Using the camp aura as the standard to measure a person's probability of committing a crime, it is like everyone writing the case record on their faces, which is indeed simple and rude and inhumane. However, from the perspective of urban management, it is also the most cost-effective and efficient policy. If you are in the predicament of the guards, how should you carry out crisis public relations? This is a question worth pondering.

At this time, a group of guards walked inside the city gate, and instead of the "Hammer Star", the holy emblem of Kord, as the other guards did, the chest of leather armor was painted with the strange mark of "bull's head" and "spindle". The leader is a burly middle-aged man, who exudes the majesty of being in the top position for a long time.

Behind the middle-aged man, there was a young man in leather armor with a slanted sword, half of his face hidden behind a red mask, and his tall hooked nose and gloomy eyes impressed Roland.

"That's General Sergey and his son Oleg." Vigraf lowered his voice, but also tried to hide his disgust for the father and son, "Most of the city guards now believe in Kode and owe allegiance to Lord Beowulf, but there are still a handful of diehards who insist on worshipping Mokesh, and they have become the personal soldiers of Sergei and his son. ”

At this time, Sergei had already come to the city gate and asked the guards with a cold face: "How did this happen, what kind of chaos has it become?" ”

After all, Sergei was especially there, and the guards did not dare to be rude to him, so they hurriedly reported the ins and outs.

Sergei nodded, said nothing more, and continued to ask him: "Did the distinguished guests of the Naraku Order enter the city?" ”

"It's already in the city, Lord Gugra of the town hall will personally go out to greet you, and ask Miss Tamara and her party to go to the Warrior Hall to meet the lord."

Sergei's face changed slightly, and chagrin flashed in his eyes. As for the crowd outside the city gates, he didn't even bother to look at them, these ordinary people were far less important to him than Tamara and his party.

Oleg was very interested in Daria and Clark, and looked them up and down for a while, and suddenly asked, "What are your plans to come to Kitland from the New World?" ”

Daria smiled at him charmingly: "Of course, I'm here to participate in the tournament, hoping to earn some prize money." ”

Oleg bowed slightly, and then asked her: "The bonus is not so easy to earn, what are you capable of?" ”

"I'm a part-time ranger of the beast tamer, and Clark is the 'Frost Fury' of the Frost Giant Boxer, don't you think this strength is enough?" Dalya curled her red lips and replied to Oleg with an almost defiant look.

Oleg smiled, and his gaze at Daria became extremely hot: "The girl in the New World is really as wild as the legend, I admire you, and your frost giant friends are also good, but you'd better understand the rules of the tournament first, the theme of this year is not heads-up, but teamwork, each team is up to six people, do you have any other teammates?" ”

"Huh? Is there such a rule? This is the first time I've heard of it. Daria looked frustrated.

"It seems that you don't have any other teammates, and it just so happens that my team is also short of manpower, you two come with me, and you will have a share of the championship prize in the future."

Daria was overjoyed: "Are you serious? That's great, but Clark and I haven't paid the security deposit yet......"

Oleg waved his hand, indicating that this trivial matter was not worth talking about. He whispered a few words to his father, and when he got his approval, he beckoned Daria and Clark into the city.

Roland couldn't help frowning as he watched Sergei and his son, Daria, and Clark go away.

Just now, he opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to investigate the strength of Sergei and Oleg's father and son, and when his eyes inadvertently swept over Daria, he unexpectedly found that this woman had hidden her true face with a spell.

To be precise, what she hides is the pair of jet-black wings behind her.

……

In terms of city and population size, Kitland is more than a notch behind Fort Atonement, the capital of the Far East and a megacity with a population of one million.

However, don't forget that this is a subarctic plateau with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and the natural environment is far worse than that of Fort Atonement, so when Roland walked on the bluestone-paved streets of Kitland, he saw the rows of shops on both sides of the street, the neatly arranged kerosene lampposts, the public green spaces created by magic against the seasons on the street corners, the fountains with flowing pearls, the corridors and benches for people to walk and rest, not to mention the towering town hall and towering martyr's tower at the end of the "Hero's Road". The prejudices against the barbarians in the Northlands in the original impression all came to naught, and were replaced by a sigh of emotion.

"Oh my God! To maintain such a beautiful and tidy metropolis, the fiscal deficit is so miserable! ”

Veronica scoffed, "You're such a bad man, you think about everything." ”

Roland shrugged: "I was originally a layman, but to be honest, the Fort of Atonement is not as clean and beautiful as here, and it is hard to imagine that this is a military fortress." ”

Lyudmila felt the same way: "I just remembered when I left Kitland, and I had the impression that the city was gray all day, with cinders everywhere, dirty children urinating everywhere, and the streets and alleys filled with the sound of clattering iron. ”

"Not to mention more than ten years ago, even five years ago Kitland was still dirty and messy, and the situation it has today is all due to the good governance of the lord and wife, to be precise, this is mainly due to our lord's wife, Lady Natasha, who is in charge of the internal affairs and finances of Kitland City, and Lord Beowulf's energy is mainly focused on the sacrificial and military aspects." Vigraf spoke of the lords and his wife with a heartfelt admiration. (To be continued.) )
