Chapter 060. Problems in the room

This really made Levi wonder in his heart, this group of brazen elites was not a well-behaved civilian, if three or five people got the order, it was estimated that even seventy or eighty fierce thugs in front of them would dare to rush up and sacrifice their lives. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThey are dedicated to the defense of the Governor's Castle, and their equipment is extremely well-equipped, and in the black market of Gray Mist City, the spokesmen of those thieves of the Ketuf River and the pirates outside the island are directly purchased at a high price.

Well-made chain mail has always been black market hard currency, because sharp scimitars are not banned in Grey Mist, and they may be able to block the scimitar slashing chain mail, which is strictly controlled with military supplies such as crossbows. Of course, the dwarven musket as a gunpowder weapon is also a control material, but there are also many weapons used by the dwarves in this world, although the power is huge, it is designed to fit the dwarves' thick arms and stump-like body, in the hands of humans, it is simply heavy and heavy, and the recoil is also very large, and it is extremely troublesome and slow to reload after firing, and it is simply a weapon like chicken ribs.

Looking up at the surrounding governor's guards all wearing chain mail, and wearing iron nose guards on their heads, I couldn't help but feel a little more envious in my heart, only the inner city of Gray Mist City and the governor's castle, they can have this kind of troops and equipment armed to the teeth. And when he once went to the black market to inquire about the price of iron armor, even if it was a rough armor, the price was not something that Li Wei could afford at the time and now.

It seems to be related to the types of minerals on the island, and although the silver veins bring abundant wealth, they cannot hide the lack of other required minerals. For example, there is no iron ore vein in Dayinpan Island, but there is a small deep mountain mine in Xiaoyinpan Island, which is difficult to mine and the cost of mining is also very high. At least the ocean-going merchant ships in the port of Gray Mist City now, most of the goods coming from ballast are high-quality and expensive iron ingots.

Of course, for Levi now, the demand for these chain mails or armor is not very large. The Spanish sailors, who had already formed a scale, stood in a line with flintlock muskets, and even a single salvo could make the troops who were still in the intensive offensive of the feudal era enjoy the warm care from the modern gunpowder age. What's more, he also has the 7-pounder cannon he wears, and in the real world, if Levi wants to, he can dismantle those 7-pounder guns at any time and let the sailors carry them around!

However, the vice-captain in front of him, Acheson, was unusually eager for Levi, and even had a certain sense of respect between his expression and movements. This made Levi more and more puzzled, because they from the Doge's Guard said that they were arrogant, and in most cases they could call it arrogant. After all, it is from the personal guard directly under the governor, and it also represents the majesty of the governor, and ordinary small gentlemen and small businessmen are nothing in their eyes.

More than thirty of the governor's guards were already standing at the gates, but they were not wet and their faces were not pale from the night's storm. It seemed that these people must have rotated their duties, because with Acheson leading the way in front of them, the gate of Baal, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened as the two governor's guards pushed them forward. Inside, it was a mess after the storm, and the streets were all scattered with branches and rubbish, and there were no workers who were supposed to clean up, and the whole street was as quiet as martial law.

But it was not completely empty, because just in the far side of the street, there were militiamen wearing iron armor and holding spears patrolling in formation, but looking at their appearance, they obviously did not dare to approach this city gate, but when they came to the street was still more than thirty meters away from the city gate, they turned directly and turned towards the street next to it. For on the inside of the gate, near the dwellings, there were also more than thirty burly and strong governor's guards, standing there with crossbows.

Turning his head to look at Levi's face with some confusion, Acheson, the vice-captain, showed a smile. Turning his head and waving his hand at the Governor's Guard who were still looking at him, he motioned for them to continue to be on guard, and then explained to Levi in a respectful tone: "Before, we were worried that we would not be able to effectively control the situation, so we brought a lot of military crossbows, but now it seems that it is still quite easy, and our mission has almost been completed. ”

"I don't understand."

Levi's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but move slowly as he looked at this group of elite governor's guards. He seemed to understand something, and the flintlock pistol still bulging under his black trench coat may be the reason for all this today. Licking his lips gently, he looked at the very enthusiastic vice-captain Acheson next to him, and blurted out, "You've already been to that hill?" ”

"The road was muddy after the storm, so I just sent someone to scout the hills."

The vice-captain Acheson's face was even more enthusiastic, and he stretched out his hand to beckon Levi towards a house next to the city gate. It appears that the house and the surrounding streets have been converted into makeshift barracks, with the crossbow-wielding Doge's guards standing on the rooftop, and the streets below are guarded by halberd-wielding guards. Acheson walked in front and led the way, and said in an emotional tone: "No matter what, after killing that mage, everything is easy. ”

"Captain." The two guards who were standing guard saw them approaching and immediately put away the halberds in their hands. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to open the door of the house next to him, and took the initiative to let the two of them in. However, when the two Ottoman sailors who were followed by Levi also wanted to walk in, they were directly stopped by a governor's guard, and said in a flat tone: "Please allow our captain to talk to your captain alone." ”

"It's okay, we'll wait outside."

Seeing that the two Ottoman sailors behind him were stopped, Levi also nodded at them and motioned for them to wait outside. After all, it was the territory of the Doge's Guard, and they also gave themselves considerable respect, and it was bearable to let their sailors wait outside. In this hierarchical society, a group of ordinary sailors has little respect, and Levi, a small businessman, can already be said to have given great respect. Looking at the empty room, Levi also casually asked, "Is this a temporary conscription house?" ”

It was supposed to be a house of the commoners of Barr, small but apparently a family of three, and the furniture, though made of poor wood, had been wiped clean along with the rudimentary ornaments that hung on the surrounding walls. Vice Captain Addison pulled out a chair and invited Levi to sit down, and said very flatly: "A family of drowning believers attacked us with an axe last night, but now they may have gone to see their god." ”

"It's a shame."

Slightly stunned, Levi slowly sat down on the chair that Addison had pulled out. He looked at the table in front of him, which was already lined with quill pens and ink, as well as parchment rolls and sealing clay, and it was clear that the command center of the Doge's Guard was set up in this house. He turned his head to look at the still wet clothes hanging on the wall next to him, and Levi also frowned slightly and asked, "There are many of those drowned believers in Baal Town?" ”

"There are a lot of starts and ends, they have been secretly developing for half a year, and almost the entire inhabitants of Bar Town are their followers, not counting the people in the surrounding pit villages."

Vice Captain Addison's face was also a little depressed, he originally thought that his task was relatively easy, but after coming here, he realized that it almost exceeded his expectations. However, thinking that the most terrifying threat had been lifted, his face also showed a somewhat relaxed look, and he looked at Levi and nodded, and also asked: "Mr. Levi, I don't know if you have noticed that there is a wooden disc inlaid with gold next to the mage who is called the high priest?" ”
