Chapter 1140: Snowfall
The border of Qingxue City is very sparse, in the area where people gather at the bottom of the mountain, there are not even guards to be seen, merchants from all over the mainland set up stalls on both sides of the street in order, peddling those strange equipment and magic props in their hands, and there are many adventurers who come to hunt for treasures, surrounded by some low buildings and houses, but they look extremely neat and standard, and from time to time there will be members of the Almighty Church, everyone seems to be accustomed to it in addition to special respect.
"Isn't there even a guard on the border?"
Gently leading the horse as he walked down the street, he said to himself, and Iblus behind him also heard this, and hurriedly came up and explained: "This is not actually the jurisdiction of Sunny Snow City, but just a gathering point spontaneously established by merchants who come here or believers who want to join the Almighty Church, just like the families we met along the way. β
"Not in jurisdiction, that is, not being asylumed?" Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, "Then if it is attacked, there will be no place to reason." β
"The Almighty Order believes in light and justice, and although it is not under their jurisdiction, they will help if any problem arises...... It can be understood as a kind of 'pan-domination'. Iblus nodded, "Go inside, and at the foot of the mountain, there will be the stronghold and guards of the Almighty Church, from where you can apply for permission to enter Sunny Snow City, I can't help you apply, you have to go there yourself." β
"I know, you take your wife and find a place to live with the wolf king." Gently nodded, "I'll just go with Aiyusha for the rest of the matter." β
Iblus nodded, and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Mumula, who was leading the horse behind him.
"Lord Wenglass, allow me to go in with you...... This is my hometown, after all, and I am indeed your guide. β
Ibulus didn't expect Mumula to say this suddenly, and suddenly seemed a little hesitant: "Mumula, you ......"
"Are you okay?" Of course, Wen Wen knew that the female swordsman in front of him might have some unspeakable secrets, so he asked, "If it's inconvenient, forget it, we're not children anymore." β
"No problem...... Allow me to make some wayward requests. Mumula nodded heavily, "Neither of us nor my husband and wife have played any role along the way, please let us do something for you." β
Seeing that Mu Mula was so resolute, Wen Wen couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod and agree to her request, and Mu Mula also thanked Wen Wen for this, and gestured to Wen Wen.
The search for the inn didn't waste much time, as Iblus and Bainholler settled down temporarily, while Wen Wen took the two women, Aiyusha and Mumula, and walked towards the office where the entry permit for Sunny Snow City was handled.
Along the way, he saw a lot of new things, and all kinds of adventurers also made him feel a lot of eye-opening, because the huge flow of people and extra safety and other factors made this "snow town" under Snow City extremely prosperous.
As mentioned earlier, Sunny Snow City did not declare its sovereignty over the areas below it, and according to common sense, there would not be such a harmonious situation now, but in fact, the situation is ββββthat in towns or cities like "Snow Bottom Town", which is composed of outsiders, there are so-called "security guards", most of these people were powerful adventurers before, and after the review of Clear Snow City, they were able to replace the Almighty Order of Clear Snow City to defend the local existence, so in other words, The territory around Sunny Snow City has been able to develop to the way it is now, and the "security guards" in various places have definitely contributed to it.
But as time goes by, the older generation of security guards is gradually replaced by a new generation of security guards, although Snow City is still the same attitude as before, but it does turn a blind eye to what these people do, although the people of the "security guards" will also protect the local security, but the overall feeling is not as good as before, plus there are many people here, there will be new faces almost every day, these so-called "security guards" have come up with a way to make money of their own.
If you want to set up a stall in a place like Snow Town, you need to pay a large amount of "defense money" in advance, and those who are new to this place, those who look like bullies will also be charged an "entry fee".
Because this is the territory of the Almighty Church, even if outsiders are unwilling or doubtful, they will still obediently pay the "defense money" and "entry fee", and although these people are greedy for money, they are not greedy, they know very well what they can and cannot do, and everyone who has paid the "defense money" and "entry fee" will indeed be registered by them, and then issued a small nameplate with their unique magic badge.
This is what the local population often calls the "door card".
In a place on the edge, there is not much difference between having a door card or not, but in a place like Snow Town, it is almost impossible to move without a door card, but fortunately, Ibulus and Mumula have the so-called "door card" in their hands, so that they can smoothly find a place to stay for the two people left behind, otherwise...... Maybe you're going to be sleeping on the streets.
"Is there still such a rule?" Gently pursed his lips, "Don't the people of the Almighty Church care?" β
"Although it seems to be an illegal act of forced buying and selling, it has really made the local order a lot better, so the people of the Almighty Church have turned a blind eye, but if you want to enter Snow City, you still have to submit an application." As she walked, Mumula said slowly, "Lord Wenglas, there is the office in front of you, where you can register and get permission. β
"Hmm."
Nodding gently, he was about to continue walking, but was suddenly stopped by a big hand that came out of nowhere, he turned his head to look, only to see a tall man with an open shirt squinting his eyes, and said to the three of them angrily: "Raw faces? Forest elves? This is rare, is there a key card? β
No matter where you are, there are still some people who lack roots in their brains.
Wen Wen didn't want to worry about these guys, and when he was about to speak, Mu Mula on the side suddenly stepped forward and directly handed over a small bag of gold coins that he didn't know when he was ready: "We are preparing to do it." β
Originally, it was just a normal negotiation, but I didn't expect the man in front of me to suddenly raise his voice: "No key card? How can you get here without a keycard? What does this money mean, look down on me?! β
As he spoke, he slapped the gold coin bag in Mu Mula's hand to the ground, making a crisp "pop" sound.
