409. [Dark Souls] You, the undead!
The road near the exit of the city gate hole is deliberately built into a right-angle turn. When the enemy breaches the gates, the defenders can retreat here to build fortifications. In peacetime, it can also be used as a checkpoint.
The checkpoints built by bunker standards were very strong, but the disadvantages were that the windows were too small, the houses were very dark, and they had to be lit during the day.
Facing the scrutinizing gaze of the officer, Nan Xiao was very calm.
"Any questions?" He asked rhetorically, "We've paid the entrance tax." β
"It's not a matter of the entrance tax," said the officer impatiently, "you're not locals, are you?" β
Nan Xiao looked at the fire prevention girl and saw that she was at a loss, so he said, "No." We're coming from far to the Eastβ"
The officer with an indifferent face looked at the two people in front of him, and interrupted directly impatiently: "I don't care where you come from, anyway, take a look at your identification." β
Nan Xiao looked at the fireproof woman and motioned for her to take care of it.
The firewoman took out a small wooden cylinder, took out a roll of parchment, and handed it to the officer.
The officer unfolded the parchment scroll and looked at the fireproof woman: "From Astra?" He looked twice, "Faculty?" β
"Yes," said the firewoman, "I am a White Saintess. β
The officer stared at the fire prevention woman: "What's your name?" β
"It's written on it."
"I'm going to hear from you."
"Rhaenys Anastasia."
"Have you been feeling normal lately? No fever, malaise, muscle aches, dry cough, etc.? β
"Nope."
"Spread out your palms and take a look, there are no weird black marks, right?"
The fireproof woman spread her palms, and the officer looked at it and expressed satisfaction.
But the matter was not over, and immediately afterwards, the officer took out a strange cane and put it on the forehead of the fire-fighting woman. The crystals at the end of the cane have a soft green glow. Seeing this light, his face gradually softened, and his tone relaxed a lot.
"What are you doing in the city?"
The firefighter thought for a moment: "Visit the White Priest of the Rodeland Cathedral. β
It seems that the saintess does not have a high status in the White Sect, and the officer does not seem to have the intention of kneeling and licking anyway. After the check, he casually returned the sheepskin document to the fireproof girl, and turned his head to stare at Nan Xiao, "What about you?" What is your name? Proof of identity? β
Nan Xiao shook his head: "My name is Nan Xiao, I am a traveler from the Eastern Kingdom, I have just arrived in your land, and I have not applied for any supporting documents. β
There were no identity documents, and the officer didn't pay much attention to it. He casually ordered a soldier next to him: "You go and get a blank paperwork and get an ID for this guy." As he spoke, he picked up the cane just now and put it on Nan Xiao's forehead.
The crystal at the end of the cane turned crimson with lightning speed!
Bang, the crystal exploded.
In an instant, the faces of the officer and several soldiers changed greatly, and they all pressed the hilt of the sword: "You, the immortal?" β
Undead? Nan Xiao thought about it, it seems that I don't have the Dark Ring mark on my body, right? But why this crystal exploded, he really didn't know.
The fireproof woman hurriedly rescued the scene: "He's not!" He didn't! He's definitely not an immortal! You know, he's from the East. People in their country like to catch fish in the sea and eat it raw, sliced into very thin slices, dipped in wasabi and soy sauce. If you eat too much of that kind of thing, the concentration of magic in your body will rise, which is very similar to that of an immortal, but it is definitely not! You see, he doesn't have a dark mark on his hands! β
The officer's expression relaxed a lot: "Hmph," he said contemptuously, "it turns out that he is an easterner who eats raw meat." β
Nan Xiao didn't know that the chain of contempt here was a god, but judging from the expression of the officer, the status of the Dongguo people was probably quite low.
The soldiers exchanged words: "Recently, more and more people from the East have come to Rodland. It is said that there are also undead people there, but they just hold back and pretend that it didn't happen. β
The soldiers looked worried, but the officers didn't care. "The people of the East are cowering on a small island, and their king has declared that the kingdom is closed, and not many people can escape. If it's an immortal, it's even more impossible," he pointed to Nan Xiao's knee, "Look, this kid is shaking his legs." What does this mean? Shows that his knees can bend. As we all know, the knees of the undead can only bend at a small angle, and it is impossible to shake the legs. β
The soldiers laughed, slapped the officer's ass, and praised the commander for his insight.
"So, what about the undead plague on the eastern side?" The officer asked Nan Xiao, "Since you have come from that distant country thousands of miles away, you must know some of the scenes over there?" β
Nan Xiao said casually: "I don't know much." As you said, the king announced a lockdown decree that not a single ship should go to sea. Hospitals in Japan only admit people of status such as ministers and samurai. If you are a businessman, you can give it a lot of money. If it was a civilian, if there was a sign of immortality, he would be locked up in his room, and the doors and windows would be nailed. β
The officer listened to a bunch of stories made up by Nan Xiaohu and was very satisfied. He took a new piece of parchment from the soldier, wrote a few lines on it, took out a seal, and stamped it at the end. "Take it, it's your identity paperwork, and you'll need to pay a Rodland silver coin as a processing fee."
Nan Xiao looked at the fireproof woman and motioned for her to pay the money.
The fireproof woman took out a money bag, which was full of money. Nan Xiao was troublesome about paying money, so he gave her a bag of gold, silver and copper coins, and handed over these miscellaneous things to her to be responsible for.
When I pulled the silver coin out of the money bag, the gold coin shone through the gap in the pocket.
Gold! The seductive light made the eyes of everyone in the room shine.
"Stop!" A soldier suddenly said, "The test cane exploded just now, which shows that this Dongguo is still very suspicious!" He turned to the officer, and winked his eyebrows and hinted frantically, "Sir, I think this Dongguo may be an immortal!" β
The firefighter was angry. She really didn't expect these people to be so unreasonable. Is it really money-eyed? Ignoring etiquette, righteousness and shame?
This is an underground passage near the Rodland City Gate, and a staircase leads down to the Black Prison. Anytime and anywhere, people are brought into black jails, and no one ever comes out again. Nan Xiao knew this kind of thing at a glance, it was really ordinary and ordinary.
The officer touched his chin, and his eyes gradually became cold. "First black prison quarantine," he said, "you're right, the test cane has exploded, and it's possible that this easterner has been infected with the undead plague." To be on the safe side, let him quarantine for 28 days first. You two, hand over everything you have and register it. β
"You want to kill for money?" Nan Xiao asked.
"What is murder for money? I am in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom and will keep it for you during the quarantine period. After the 28-day quarantine is completed, a lot of coins will be returned to you. β
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
"If you don't believe it today, you have to believe it," the officer waved his hand, "take it!" β
The two soldiers came up and wanted to pull Nan Xiao's arm, and the other two soldiers rubbed their hands together and dragged the fire prevention girl.
To deal with this kind of guy, Nan Xiao is too lazy to do it. "Mao Yuyu," he commanded, "kill them." β
Mao Yuyu, who had been doing nothing and was in a state of invisibility, suddenly became excited when she heard that there was work to do. Heο½TuiοΌ It erupted in a mouthful of fire, and immediately burned the entire city gate hole red. The pile of soldiers in the doorway, along with the officer, were all burned to ashes.
Immediately, the alarm sounded, and the citizens who had been peaceful just now ran around in terror. In the distance, the bell rang for the royal city, the gates opened, and a group of soldiers hurried out.
"What are you looking at," Nan Xiao pulled the fire prevention girl in a daze, "Don't run yet." β
"No, this-" The fire girl tried to figure out the situation, but was dragged away by Nan Xiao, who made a quick decision.
