The Traveler King turned his head and stuffed the smoking guard with 100 energy canisters.
"Brothers, please drink."
The smoking guard couldn't hide his surprise and excused himself, "That's not appropriate, is it?" ”
After all, he put it away anyway. That's a lot of money for several years!
"What's inappropriate, after all, I want you to keep it a secret."
"Of course, of course". The smoking guard nodded and agreed, "If there is anything else that needs the help of the brothers, just as it is told." ”
"I didn't plan to trouble you, but now that the guards are so tight, it would be nice to have a pass for the eighth district of the republic."
"Yes!" After saying that, the smoking guard immediately took out a pass from his arms, "You just said that you two are the procurement personnel of the camp, and you are exempt from inspection." ”
"Thanks!"
The Traveler King took the pass and pulled Liliana away.
The smoking guard chased after him and asked, "Don't you want a car?" Don't guard? ”
The Traveler King smiled.
"None of that, since you're so zealous, I do need some intelligence. For example, Brother Nan's, and the big man of Dongxing who is coming today. ”
"I really don't know about this..."The smoking guard scratched his head, "I only know that although Brother Nan's level is not high, the specifications are not low, and it seems that the background is very hard." I don't know who the big man is, but I know that she will arrive in about three or four hours, and she will be greeted by Yunxiu's special assistant, and the reason is a state visit. ”
Yunxiu again? The Traveler King pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Your message is very useful, thank you." No need to send it, after all, we are on our honeymoon. ”
"I know, I know, hehe."
Bidding farewell to the smoking guards, the Traveler King bought some more miscellaneous items and left the camp with Liliana on a bull.
The White Republic can already be seen with the naked eye. Backed by towering mountains and facing the sea on both sides, it is located in a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the overall feeling is big and white. The height of the stone walls is exaggerated, and there are countless buildings higher than the walls, some like churches, some like castles, and they are too far away to be recognized. A wide straight road stretched from the front of the camp to the city gate, and in front of the gate, which was almost half the height of the city wall, stood a large number of guards, too many to count. The crowd of people entering and leaving the city gates were mostly civilians, and the stream was endless.
Liliana tilted her head and looked around, "This is the border of the White Republic, right?" ”
"Yes. There are a total of eight districts in the Republic, and this is our destination, the eighth arrondissement. And the Chang Ao Ministry we are looking for is the bishop here, the first person with high authority. ”
Liliana couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked, "Is it possible to see such great people casually?" ”
"Don't worry, it's easy."
While they were talking, they had already lined up and came to the city gate.
Liliana looked up. It is really majestic, this wall is more than 100 meters high and more than half a hundred thick, and it suddenly feels a sense of despair when standing in front of it. It turns out that man is so small. If you look closely, you can find that the city wall has obviously undergone countless baptisms of war, and the traces of repair alone are innumerable.
"What for?" The guard asked.
The Traveler King glanced at Liliana and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not nervous at all this time, obviously there were more guards this time, and there were two people as high as level 50.
I really don't know what Liliana was nervous about in front of the camp just now.
He handed the guards a pass.
The guard glanced at it and threw it back, waved his hand, and motioned for him to hurry in.
Entering the city easily, Liliana was relieved and whispered, "Husband, this pass is really useful." ”
"The gates of the eighth district were originally lax, and in fact, you can enter the city without a pass. However, it's really not the right time for us to come today, see. ”
Liliana looked around the city, and her first thought was: chaos.
In stark contrast to the buildings that are all pure white, solemn and neat of large stone bricks, the people in the lanes of the square are mixed and varied. Northern Star People, Southern Star People, East Star People, Yu Yan Clones, Mercenaries, Guards, Mages, Priests, Nobles, Commoners, Merchants, Farmers, Artisans, Beggars, Scoundrels, Tramps, what is missing, there are basically all here.
Following the Traveler's point, she saw a group of heavily armed guards, numbering in the hundreds. There were not only male and female priests and knights in heavy armor, but also ten giants sitting on the ground. It's hard to estimate the height, but even the sitting position is more than three meters, and he is also heavily armoured, and each giant holds a thick stone spear with a shield in one hand and a thick stone spear in the other, and a bucket full of the same spear hangs from his back. All of them were listening to the lecture of a knight in splendid armor in front of them. Although they were all lined up, everyone stood loosely, as if they were waiting for something but not in a hurry.
Liliana looked a little excited: "Giant, it's the first time I've seen it, it's such a big guy." ”
"Normally, there would be no guards gathered here, and there would be no giant warriors. Seeing that their armor is flashy, they are all biased towards ceremonial use, and their expressions are also like waiting for a big man who will arrive for a long time, probably a guard of honor. ”
"Oh, greet that big man from the Eastern Star."
"It seems so. I wanted to find a hotel to stay in leisurely, but it seems that we have to hurry. ”
"Isn't it okay to wait for that big man to leave and then go to the Tsunekobu?"
The Traveler King shook his head: "The devil knows how long the state visit will last. It would be a problem if that big man stayed for another meeting after visiting the Eighth District. My life is still counting down, and the most important thing is time, so it's best not to delay. ”
Liliana nodded.
The squares here are also full of rubbing shoulders. Fortunately, riding a bull, the crowd will consciously give way to the sides.
Walk through the crowded square, onto the main road, and pass through several streets. If you are on the main street, there are mostly four- or five-story stone houses on both sides, and if you enter the alley, there are mostly one- or two-story bungalows. The feet are all paved with stone slabs.
I turned around and came to the door of a solemn and majestic church. Liliana recognized it, and could see the building from a distance as soon as she left the camp. It was really unusually tall, and when I looked up to my neck, I could vaguely see that a spire at the top of the church almost touched the clouds, and there were birds perched.
Row after row of windows, tens of meters high, are filled with religious portraits made of fragments of stained glass.
Within 100 meters of the church, there is a stone-paved square, enclosed by a one-meter-high wire fence, and there are no idlers except for patrolling guards and busy priests. This is also a rare situation on the North Star, where every inch of land is valuable.
As Liliana stared in a daze, she was awakened by the shouts of the guards, only to find that they had reached the door of the church.
"Stop. The church is important and non-believers are not allowed to enter. ”
The guards held their axes in front.
