Chapter 21: The Ombudsman Like a "Stone Statue".
There were no accidents in the second half of the road, I think it was because the sheriff didn't prepare a deeper backhand, and the young master of Nice should have been stumped by something and couldn't get out, until he entered the range of Shanhai City, nothing happened to Rhodes again.
Like everyone else, after taking out two more copper coins and handing them to the old man, Rhodes entered Shanhai City, it was already night, the sun had set, but the neon lights made Shanhai City feel like day.
The city, where tall buildings can be seen from afar, gives Rhodes the feeling of returning to the metal world of his previous life, but unlike his previous life, these high-rise buildings are made of wood or earth.
This is the advantage of this world, because of the existence of magic, many incredible things in previous lives can be achieved. So it's not uncommon to build a building out of wood, which is magically strengthened enough to rival steel and stone.
In the Kingdom of Sartre, this scene can be seen a little more, because the Kingdom of Sartre is a country where the magic civilization is thriving, and it is also one of the powerhouses of this continent, so it can have more resources in terms of people's livelihood.
Rhodes shook his head and shook off his thoughts, and walked towards the gold exchange house with the package, of course, this package was the heads of the two bandits, plus the Storm Province was cracking down on bandits recently, so it could naturally be exchanged for a relatively rich bounty.
There is no deliberate effort or bounty deduction, which is another advantage of the Wizard Civilization.
The exchange houses, banks and other facilities in the Kingdom of Sartre have been given magic, not only can monitor everyone's behavior, but also have great restrictions on the staff, if someone has greed or bribery, etc., they will be known at the first time, and even the leaders of these facilities will be forced to sign a magic contract to ensure that there will be no corruption.
The two bandit bosses get 2 gold in exchange.
This was unexpected by Rhodes, and after inquiry, he learned that although each bandit was recorded, there were many people who looked similar in this world, so they would be identified, and they needed to be confirmed before the bonus could be issued.
And it was confirmed just now that these two bandit leaders, one is a warrior who has officially joined the company, and the other is a spellcaster, plus the slasher is an admission student of Rhodes, a Wang Lit Academy, so 2 gold is not less.
The staff said: "The system of the exchange house will be linked to the headquarters of Wangdu in real time, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Rod nodded clearly: "Okay, I understand, please explain to you." ”
As he spoke, he strode out of this exchange house, and he probably understood what was going on, that is, the privileges of the special class students had taken initial effect, and becoming a student of the special college was accompanied by a change in social status and the emergence of privileges.
Knowing this, Rhodes has a deeper understanding of the world, and although it seems to be very similar to modern society, its essence is still similar to feudal society, except that the shell has become more ornate.
While thinking about things, Rhodes had already arrived at the office of the Ombudsman, which, due to its peculiarity, was open to citizens twenty-four hours a day.
Just like facilities such as money exchange houses and banks, magic is also applied here, and the inspectors are directly officials of the kingdom, similar to the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, and these eunuchs are also responsible for monitoring various local officials.
It's just that these inspectors were not only purified like the eunuchs in the previous life, but also suppressed their feelings by powerful magic, and signed a strong magic contract, and they will be loyal to the king until death.
Unless contracts and magical inhibitions can be broken, there is no way for these Inspectors to collude with the outside world, corrupt the law, or anything like that.
Therefore, Rhodes was very relieved to hand over the photo crystal, and a sheriff colluded with the bandits at this time, even if he didn't die, he didn't want to turn over.
After revealing his identity as an admitted student of Wang Lite and other colleges, he was invited to enter the inner roof to meet the supervisor.
Rhodes' first impression when he saw the Ombudsman was that it was cold, there were not too many clutter in the office, and there were no entertainment facilities in sight, and the Ombudsman's face was calm and scary, although with a smile, it was more like a dead man's smile.
The Ombudsman sat there stunned, like a statue more than a living person.
This scene couldn't help but make Rod feel in his heart, this is the result of being suppressed emotionally, but it is precisely because of this that Rod can rest assured that he will hand over the photo crystal to the other party, instead of worrying that the other party will sell himself when he turns his head.
took out the photo crystal that had already been pinched off and respectfully handed it to the subordinate who came over to pick it up.
"My lord, Xiaomin is a student who intends to enter the royal capital, and on the way he happened to encounter a group of bandits who endangered the people, entrusted by the tavern owner, Xiaomin took action to exterminate the gang of bandits, but when he sneaked into the cottage, he was discovered by Xiaomin, the sheriff of Anluo City may be involved with this group of bandits, Xiaomin did not dare to make decisions without permission, so he came to hand the photo crystal to the adult, and part of the situation at that time was recorded here."
The Ombudsman picked up the photo crystal handed over by the lower officer, closed his eyes, and a faint magic appeared in his hand, and it took a while to open his eyes, and he couldn't see any unnecessary information on his cold face, and even Rod's eyes couldn't see the aura emitted by the Ombudsman, as if he was really a dead man.
"Well, our family already knows the ins and outs, and such people who collude with bandits will be severely punished, you can go down, as a person who provides detailed evidence and intelligence, you can receive a bonus, go down."
"Yes, Xiaomin retired."
Rod took two steps back respectfully, and then turned to leave, from beginning to end, Rod did not show his emotions as if he was facing a normal person.
After coming out, as the adjutant received the bonus, Rhodes was shocked to find that there were as many as 5 gold, and he was stunned for a moment, and soon understood that this was a reward for the discoverer, probably to demonstrate to others, so that others would enthusiastically report the official's misdeeds.
The adjutant smiled: "You are an admitted student of Wang Li and other colleges, I will dare to call you an adult, the evidence you found this time is enough to sentence the sheriff to death, so these bonuses are not much, but there is one thing I have to remind you that your actions of discovering illegal things this time are likely to be announced by the bulletin board, and please be mentally prepared." ”
Rhodes bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude: "Troublesome Lord reminds, I have been mentally prepared for this matter, as long as we are subjects, as long as we can do our part for the king, it is the best reward for us, even in the face of the revenge of the evildoers, I will not hesitate at all, and I will fight the evildoers to the end." ”
……
When Rod walked out of the Ombudsman's office, he had a smile on his face, and he earned 7 gold in a while, and sure enough, he still made money quickly without capital.
Rhodes was in a good mood, took out his train ticket and saw that the train would depart tomorrow morning, and it was still first-class.
"First class...... By the way, you should prepare a set of clothes. ”
Because the train had just appeared, most of the people who could sit in the first-class warehouse were dignitaries, so he also needed a set of decent clothes.
Rod shook his head, extinguished the idea of hanging out, first found a good clothing store to buy a set of clothes, and then found a hotel that looked good, and did not take off his armor, and slept directly with his clothes.
