Chapter 52 Entering the Barracks

When looking at personal attributes for the first time, Chen Li still remembered the last sentence after the long introduction, and the hidden attributes included luck, charm, will, and so on.

If Chen Li can clearly feel that the attribute of will is constantly increasing passively with the increase of his spiritual attributes, then charm and luck Chen Li rarely feels their existence, of course, Chen Li also came to the fact that he is not low luck by opening treasure chests and trying his character, but it is also a not low evaluation, he has not been very clear about the specific points, and even how to see these attributes, he is still confused.

But not to mention luck now, Chen Li found that his charm value was actually passable, which can be known from the first words of General Paitus sitting opposite and his admiring eyes.

"You're the Iron Fist, yes, I admire you, how about being my subordinate?"

Although he just sat on a chair and said this, Chen Li didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, at the very least, his main task fell on the person in front of him.

Chen Li didn't bother to pretend to show his noble quality.

"Willing to serve you!" , Chen Li knelt on one knee and swore allegiance to the general in front of him.

"Very well, you are a man of understanding, and now, I give you a name, Caticius, and I prefer the brave warriors, and you are the most powerful."

When Paitus said this, Chen Li's ears were reminded that his main quest was moving to the next stage.

"Your main quest is updated, you need to go to the barracks located not far away within 24 hours to start the next stage of the main quest, and if you fail the quest after that, it will be considered a mission failure."

Paitus's voice did not stop: "Look at these drunken and dreamy old men below, in my eyes they are wasted years, hiding from the waste of reality, we are still at war ahead, they are here to start enjoying luxurious spices, discarding the unappetizing food, wasting everything that can be wasted, this is really shameful!" ”

Chen Li was embarrassed to say, didn't you also come to see my duel.

"Now, take my token, Caticius, and report to the barracks at the front, and they will give you a suitable position."

The general waved his hand, and a maid stepped forward and handed Chen Li a bag, Chen Li shook it, and it seemed to be quite heavy.

He didn't open the purse immediately, and it seemed that Paitus didn't intend to keep him here for dinner, so he confessed and left the room.

Chen Li left the gladiatorial arena and walked on the streets of the Roman city, a kind of quaint, savage and elegant atmosphere came to his face, on such a city avenue, you can see those magnificent and huge buildings decorated with magnificence, no matter what it is, the carved lines outlined by the graceful lines can always make people breathtaking, you can also see the darkness hidden behind the prosperity, in some corners of the street, there are always a few ragged, dirty people, their eyes are full of numbness and pain.

In short, this is a typical Roman city.

Chen Li is not in the mood to take a stroll around these buildings that look extremely brilliant now, he has not forgotten the prompt sound of the space, he is not the only contractor in this mission world, and he is already the last to come, if he doesn't hurry up, I am afraid that something will happen.

Chen Li took out the money bag that Paitus gave him, and when he opened it, it was full of small coins, all of which were bronze.

"You have obtained the item: Systyles"

"80 pieces in total"

This is not a small amount of money, Chen Li used to know the history of ancient Rome when he was studying, and this kind of dragon coin is equivalent to 50 dragon coins in Estyrs, which is very purchasing power.

"Then the question now is where do I go to find the barracks, in that case, I have a good idea."

Chen Li knew that if he wanted to know the location of the military camp nearby, he would definitely be right to ask one kind of person, and that was a businessman!

In ancient Rome, a garrison camp often attracted a large number of merchants, and these soldiers who had a lot of spare money in their hands and were extremely lacking in material and spiritual life were the best trading partners for those merchants and **.

Chen Li found a shop that sold wine, the decoration of the whole store was not very good, there was neither a prosperous carving, nor a glittering ornament, in a few wooden barrels outside the hotel, a burst of inferior wine smell emanated, the original clean wine barrel is now used black and shiny.

Chen Li walked into the store and found a middle-aged man carrying a heavy wine barrel.

"Hello, do you know where the owner of this shop is?"

"I just, you want to buy wine?" , Putting down the barrel in his hand, the man revealed his face covered by the barrel, his slightly wrinkled face was covered with sweat, and he wiped the sparkle on his forehead with his clothes to avoid affecting his vision.

"Oh no, I just wanted to ask something, how about a Stiles pay?" Of course, Chen Li didn't want to buy any wine, and the wine here was also of inferior quality.

He made his own request and then gave his own payment.

"What are you going to ask? Come on, I don't know anything that's too secret. The middle-aged man spread his hands.

"It's simple, you know where the nearest military camp is here, the one that is going to fight on the front line."

"Huh? Then I know very well, it's not far away. ”

"You go along this great road, and when you go out of the city, you will see a river, and you will go up the river until you come to a place with three small hills, and on the other side is the barracks."

For Stiles' sake, the shopkeeper explained the way to Chen Li in detail and enthusiastically, and Chen Li nodded and left the store.

In order to prevent himself from being deceived, Chen Li found a few businessmen in different places, compared them, and after confirming that they were correct, he headed for the barracks.

Chen Li walked out of the city gate under the gaze of the soldiers defending the city, and saw a small river in front of him.

According to the merchants, this river is called "Guillotine River", legend has it that a long time ago, one of the descendants of the hydra Heideshira, a three-headed snake occupied here, where he made waves and devoured the lives of passing merchants, and later, a hero came, cut off the three-headed snake under the sword, cut off its three heads and threw them into the depths of the river, which caused the river to flow all year round, and the amount of water in the river has been sufficient, and it was called "Guillotine River".

Chen Li walked upstream along the "Guillotine River".

Before Chen Li could see the three small dirt slopes, he heard the shouts of the barracks breaking through the sky.

"Whew, ha!"

"Whew, ha!"

This is the army in the barracks in practice, and the reason why the army of ancient Rome was able to lay down such a large area of land for their monarch was that rigorous training was an essential daily routine.

Connecting the two sides of the river is a narrow single-plank bridge, fastened on either side by wooden piles, which is precarious under the impact of the river and seems to fall into the river at any moment. Looking at the single-plank bridge in front of him, Chen Li remembered the iron cable across the river he had walked, and the feeling that he might fall down if he was not careful was exactly the same.

Stepping on the single-plank bridge, the creaking sound came from the wooden bridge, Chen Li didn't care, the artist was bold, so he crossed the river step by step along the single-plank bridge.

Holding the envelope closed with fire patterns, Chen Li glanced at the intricate and elegant font on it like vines, and then glanced at the military flag with the same logo as the envelope above the barracks, and walked in.

"Stop!" , two soldiers with swords in their hands stopped Chen Li.

"I am a close confidant of General Paitus, Caticius, and I have this letter as proof!"

Chen Li raised the envelope in his hand and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, a man dressed as an officer came over: "You are Cattisius?" The slave who defeated the lion scorpion? ”

"My lord, it's just a young scorpion, and besides, I'm no longer a slave."

Chen Li instinctively felt that the person in front of him had bad intentions, and with his words, he not only brought a lot of hatred to Chen Li in the barracks, but also reminded others that Chen Li's background was low and he was not worthy of friendship.

"Alright, Milor, stop talking nonsense, take him to the commander." , just as another officer approached, and he interrupted the person who wanted to speak before.

With two soldiers behind and two officers in front, Chen Li was taken to the command camp in the center of the barracks.

"Milor......"

Entering the camp tent, Chen Li saw the commander in front of a sand table.

Well, how to say it, it is not as imposing as Chen Li imagined, it looks ordinary, and it is no different from the civilians he met on the street.

"You're Cattisius? What about the general's letter, let me see it. ", the commander made his own request.

The commander took the sealed envelope from Chen Li's hand and opened it carefully along the corners.

"Your main quest has been updated, and to the next stage, you need to follow the army to distant towns, investigate the origin of the plague there, and suppress any possible riots."

Picking up the envelope and burning the entire letter on a torch, the commander said: "Sorry, Cattisius, although the general has suggested that I promote you to the rank of commander of a thousand, it is impossible for me to put the lives of my brothers who are at the intersection of life and death in your hands so simply, so I can only give you the position of centurion, and you may report to the general if you have any objection to this." ”

"You have acquired status: Centurion"

"You have opened the faction: the prestige of the Roman legions"

"Your current Roman legion reputation is 1500/10000 (Fledgling)"

"You can earn honor points for any activity in the barracks, and the honor points can be consumed at the barracks to exchange for the items or soldiers you need."

Chen Li lowered his head and returned: "Listen to the commander's arrangement." ”

No one noticed that a smile appeared under Chen Li's lowered head.
