After leaving the checkpoint, even if you look at the city, the road under your feet suddenly widens, and with a series of clicking mechanical sounds, fifteen walking cars unfold one after another.

The original small wheels were retracted into the belly, and four pairs of eight steel mechanical prosthetic feet were placed on either side of the body. The carriages have been expanded accordingly to allow enough space for people to ride. From a distance, each walking cart doubled in size compared to before, and walked along the road in a steady and orderly manner like some kind of steel beast.

It was not the first time that everyone had seen such a scene, and when they saw this, they boarded the car one after another, and each chose his seat and sat down. A small team of convoys pushed out several small locomotives from the last walking car carriage and drove around the convoy, guarding the entire procession.

When they reach the real field, these solo locomotives will spread farther forward and flanks as scouts for the caravan, scouting for any disturbances around the caravan. Ordinary caravans simply can't do that - in fact, that's exactly the tactical rule that professional witcher exploration teams use.

Leaving the walls of Zeno-Ulu does not mean leaving the city, and there is a safe zone around the main city that is more than 50 kilometers deep, which is usually called a "suburb". There are vast farmlands, pastures, fruit forests, fish ponds and other urban supporting agricultural areas, as well as large-scale heavy chemical industries such as mines, smelting and chemical industries. There are more than 50 towns and many more.

This vast suburb is an indispensable part of every city, and without the support of basic agro-industrial products, even the most prosperous city will decay or even perish.

In the previous two hundred years, the power of the Abyssal Demon was so powerful that it almost swallowed the entire human race, and the connection between the cities of the kingdom was almost completely severed, like islands in the middle of a vast ocean. In that case, each city was forced to be self-sufficient, and had to develop its own supporting agricultural industry to survive.

Cultivating farmland, building factories, and setting up sentry posts outside the city walls. And just like that, little by little, it grows again and again, and dispels the darkness around it with the fire of civilization.

Although in recent decades the form has improved, and communication links between cities in various regions of the country have been fully restored, the long-term self-sufficient supporting system has been retained. With the exception of a few new metropolises with a theme of business and entertainment, each city has a circle of "suburbs" that differ only in size and functional focus—cities that did not establish "suburbs" have long since perished in the Dark Ages.

As the largest integrated city in the country and the headquarters of the Night Watch, Zeno-Ulu is also the largest and most versatile of all cities, even more prosperous than most cities in remote areas.

And even outside the city walls, the security here is quite assured. This area is also home to the estates of the rich and nobles, the Night's Watch and the barracks and training grounds of the Kingdom Army. Every day, tens of thousands of soldiers and demon hunter recruits search the area to exterminate all dangerous creatures, practice and earn their own merits.

Therefore, the whole team was not too nervous, and walked leisurely without hurrying. It can be said that this part of the journey in the suburbs will be the most relaxing and comfortable part of the whole trip.

The sun is gradually rising, and you can open the roof of the carriage to enjoy the warm and comfortable sunshine. In the rhythmic rhythm of the walking car and the sound of the complex machinery running, Ling Key was drowsy.

In a daze, I don't know how long it took, but Ling Key's semi-sleeping brain was suddenly awakened by the sound in his ears.

"Boy, you can come to your senses! This time it's really going to 'go out'. Uncle Fan Li said.

Ling Jian opened his eyes and found that he was about to pass through a sizable camp ahead, which should be the last line of defense in the suburbs.

An adventurer in the same car smiled and said, "Boy, you have to cheer up next!" Dozing off in the wilderness can really kill you! ”

"Haha, he's still a child, don't scare him like this." Another adventurer, Dahan, said. However, between the words, he still regarded Ling Jian as a rookie, after all, he was too young.

"You guys, the problem of judging people by their appearance still hasn't changed." At this moment, the handsome blonde man Aiolos walked over from the other side of the carriage, and he looked even more golden in the bright sun.

"This boy is a talent who graduated from the boot camp!" He pointed at Ling Key, and said something that surprised everyone else in the car.

The adventurer man just now was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief: "What are you talking about...... That boot barracks? ”

"Of course," Aeolos shrugged, "what could the so-called boot camp be besides the one of the Night's Watch?" ”

"What? How can it be! ”

"How could it be?" Aiolos asked rhetorically, then pulled open the placket to reveal a badge pinned to the inner lining, "I've been feeling the resonance for a long time!" ”

Ling Key's eyes widened, and he looked at the handsome golden retriever in disbelief, as well as the badge pinned to his clothes—silver shavings on a black background, and a dark blue six-pointed star. The same badge, Ling Key, has one of his own, which is the "graduation certificate" of the Night's Watch Boot Barracks.

He raised his right hand and pulled up the sleeve of his shirt, the leather bracers inlaid with the badge that belonged to him, and it was trembling at an imperceptible frequency, and the resonance grew stronger as Aiolos approached. However, because he had a gear on his bracer that never stopped, the vibration of the badge had been masked so far.

"There's really a badge!" A low-voiced exclamation rang out all around.

Ling Jian looked at the other party with some confusion: "I graduated from the boot camp but didn't become a demon hunter...... I thought I was the only one. ”

Aiolos smiled heartily: "Because there are too many rules in the studio, I still choose to be a free adventurer!" ”

Uncle Fan Li touched his chin and nodded: "Sure enough, my vision is still right." The guys who came out of the boot camp are all witchers who can be officially hired right away. ”

In the Night's Watch Boot Camp, every cadet who successfully passes all the training assessments will receive such a half-palm-sized badge as proof of their graduation achievements. The badge, nicknamed the "Diploma", signifies the maturity of a trainee Witcher who can become an official Witcher in any studio at any time – or even a workhorse for studios outside of the league's top 100 stars!

Because the boot camp training of the night watchmen is extremely rigorous.

Each studio of a certain size has its own newcomer training institution, but the most well-known and recognized by the world is only the recruit camp. To be precise, the so-called "new barracks" are not institutions that train newcomers for the Night's Watch Studio, but a new barracks dedicated to the "Banner Brigade"!

So, for any witcher, graduating from there is an accomplishment to boast about for a long time. Young people, in particular, like to wear their badges prominently on their bodies - there are many such guys in Zeno-Ulu. Even mature and stable veteran witchers, even those who have already made a name for themselves, often carry this badge with them.
