Chapter 226: Frost Giant
"Huh? Captain Viglaf, you're back! When the young guards at the gate saw Vigraf, they greeted him warmly, and it was clear that Vigraf was very popular in the barracks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Everyone has worked hard, these gentlemen and ladies are distinguished guests from the south, and I have been accompanying them on their trips for the past few days." Vigraf briefed his colleagues on Roland and the others.
"Okay, please fill out this form, if you don't understand, we have a service staff here to translate and fill in, you can dictate, after registration, get a temporary household registration certificate, pay a security deposit and you can enter the city, valid for 1 month, after which you can apply for an extension, if you plan to leave, you will come to cancel and get back the security deposit." The guards handed out stacks of forms and provided filling services for the illiterate, which was very well prepared.
Roland picked up a form and found that the columns listed on it were very complete, and information such as ethnicity, place of origin, origin, occupation and rank needed to be filled in, and it seemed that the management of the floating population in the city was quite strict.
As for the security deposit, it is actually a means of managing foreign tourists. The area near the gate is also within the range of Kitland's Lock, and people waiting to enter the city will automatically reveal a Faction Aura when affected by the constant "Detect Faction" spell in the Lock.
If good and evil, order and chaos are made into two number axes to form a coordinate system, then the more a person is inclined to evil, the more intense the camp aura will be, and vice versa, the more good it is, and the camp aura will be silver and white; Similarly, the deeper the chaos, the darker it gets, and the deeper the orderliness, the bluer it gets.
According to a person's camp aura, you can infer his past thoughts and behaviors to a certain extent, and then judge how much of a threat he poses to the security of the city, according to different threat coefficients to charge different amounts of security deposits, if there is a reputation for violating the law and discipline in the city, the security deposit will be deducted or even confiscated in full, on the contrary, in the city, you can get back the security deposit in full when you leave.
Roland and his party are mostly in the good camp, with innocent origins and Vigraf guarantees, so they only need to pay the lowest level of security deposit - one gold coin per person.
Roland had just finished filling out the form, and Bloom behind him quarreled with someone.
The cause of the quarrel is really a bit nonsensical. Bloom was bored in line when a huge figure suddenly floated behind him, blocking the sunlight above him.
The dwarf looked back, and behind him stood a large man with a height of 15 feet, wearing a sleeveless leather armor, revealing muscular arms and a fluffy chest, the high raised trapezius muscles extended all the way to the neck, and the neck was particularly thick, and the broad face had a large flat and deformed nose, which seemed to be the sequelae of long-term beatings, and his head was bare like a monk, his eyebrows and beard were large, and his skin was a strange blue-white, shining with a faint cold light.
Seeing the tower-like figure and special complexion of the other party, Bloom guessed that he was a relatively rare "frost giant" in the Far East, and looked at it twice with curiosity, but he didn't expect to anger the other party.
"What are you looking at!" The Frost Giant crossed his arms over his chest and yelled at the dwarf angrily.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The dwarf was not good-tempered either, and immediately retorted, "Are you afraid of being spoiled by such a big man?" ”
"You can take another look at me!"
"Just look at how you drip it, and you can still eat me?"
"Dead dwarf, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will hammer you with one punch!"
The Frost Giant shook his fist in a sand bowl, and Bloom raised his hammer without flinching, and the atmosphere was tense.
The guards hurriedly came to stop the clashes. Roland didn't want to make a fuss, so he finally persuaded the dwarves to leave, but when he turned around, the irascible frost giant quarreled with the guards again.
"What do you say? Why should I pay 100 gold coins, but the dwarf just now only paid 1 gold coin! ”
"That gentleman has a clear origin, he's a dwarf from Icewind Dale."
"What's wrong with the dwarves? He's short, he's reasonable?! The Frost Giant roared indignantly, attracting the attention of everyone in front of the city gates.
The guard didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he had to patiently explain to him: "The dwarves in Icewind Dale have a good reputation in the city and have always obeyed order, not to mention that the camp aura shows that Mr. Dwarf is a kind person, and the chance of getting into trouble in the city is very low, so the security deposit is also very low, as for you...... I'm not discriminatory, look at your own camp, half red and half black, evil and chaotic, you have to take a lot of risk to let you into the city, can you rest assured that you don't pay a little more security deposit? You honestly don't make trouble in the city, and when you leave in the future, the money will be returned to you in a lot of money, so there's nothing to complain about. ”
"I don't care! You are just engaging in discrimination, don't say that Lao Tzu has no money, and you can't be angry if you have money! ”
"Then please go home, Kitland doesn't welcome unreasonable people like you."
"What!? One more thing to try! Lao Tzu punches you to death! ”
Seeing that this simple-minded and well-developed guy was about to lose control of his emotions and enter the rampage mode again, the guards in front of the city gate all drew their swords with angry faces.
"Wait! Everyone, please don't be angry! ”
A beautiful girl squeezed from behind the frost giant, her dark and shiny leather coat wrapped tightly around her mature and bewitching body, a leather whip wrapped around her waist, her burgundy hair was fluffy and curly, her plump red lips were extraordinarily seductive, and her smile was dotted with a small black mole at the corner of her lips, and her smile exuded a hot and sexy charm.
"Sir, please listen to my explanation." The Gorgeous Girl pleaded with the guards with a sincere face, "My friend is a Frost Giant warrior from the New World, and the locals don't admire Clark when it comes to 'Frost Fury', he has a bit of a short temper, but his nature is not bad, and he doesn't understand the rules of this place and offends you, so please don't be surprised." ”
"The rules here are very simple, you fill out the form and pay the deposit according to the regulations, and then you can go into the city." One of the guards said impatiently, "Hurry up, there are still many people waiting." ”
Daria approached the guards, took out a handful of gold coins and quietly stuffed them, with a smile on her face: "Isn't it up to you guys to decide how much security deposit to pay?" Anyway, this money can't fall into your pockets, why be so rigid, 100 gold coins is too much, we really can't take out so much money, okay to make an exception and be accommodating? ”
The guard pushed her hand away and said coldly: "Don't come with me, rules are rules, no one can be an exception, I said this lady, you are enough, although it is the order camp, it is a pity that the spirit is red and purple, more evil than your frost giant companion, if you want to enter the city, you have to pay a security deposit of 100 gold coins!" ”
Seeing that they did not eat oil and salt, the scorn on Daria's face immediately turned into grief and indignation, and she stood in front of the city gate and complained loudly: "Your lord of Beowulf was warmly welcomed by us locals during his travels in the New World, and became a respected hero. Could it be that the dignified Northland pearl Kitland City, the hometown of the hero Beowulf, can't accommodate two strangers who have come from afar with dreams? (To be continued.) )
