Chapter 161: Wadson Town
There was still some distance back to Hajar City, when I first came there was the heaviest snowfall, and I didn't meet anyone along the way, and occasionally passed by villages where I could see fireworks, but they were far away and didn't go in.
But now that spring has begun, it has only been half a day since I walked in from the edge of the border, and I encountered a checkpoint.
Wang Chu lazily lay on Lias's shoulder, closing his eyes and enjoying the gentle sunshine that he had not seen for a long time...... There was a voice in my ears.
"Is this a level? Why didn't we seem to see it when we came? Lias asked, and the students around her all glanced at each other, none of them had been so far away, and it was estimated that only Fiona could answer the question.
The so-called checkpoint is nothing more than a number of wooden fences placed in the middle of the road, and then the soldiers check the passage in turn.
After seeing the expeditionary force approaching, the soldiers at the checkpoint made a stop gesture when they were far away.
"We came at the time when the snow was heaviest, so there was no one. The checkpoints in this area were originally set up to restrict people from desert areas from coming to the empire without permission. ”
Even the level can be so casual, and the place where the emperor is far away is really more human favor than the system.
Wang Chu opened his eyes and stood up, there were about a dozen soldiers guarding the checkpoint in front of him, because they were all soldiers in remote areas, and the image of the soldiers was very simple, and it looked similar to that of a desert country...... At most, I wore a few more pieces of clothing.
The big city in the western part of the Asta Empire is Hajar City, and theoretically the city soldiers of these remote towns should be under the jurisdiction of Hajar City.
After hearing the identities of Edmund and several other generals, the dozen or so soldiers were so frightened that they immediately tidied up their bags, and without checking them, they directly invited the team to a nearby town to rest, and several soldiers rode fast horses and ran desperately in the opposite direction.
I guess it was reported to the top management here.
Belch...... Wang Chu felt that it looked like a superior leader inspecting the work.
Then Edmund turned to the crowd and said loudly with enough magic.
"There are still more than ten days away from Hajar City, and the town under the jurisdiction of this area is called Wadson Town, since we are here, we will temporarily go to the town to rest and recuperate, and then set off. ”
"What do you think of Chief Kajimi?" After all, the other party's identity is the chief, and Edmund still has to show the respect he deserves.
Kajimi didn't ride here and followed the group's ride in the center, surrounded by soldiers from Siwa City, just a little behind where Rias was.
"The territory of the empire here, everything is arranged by the Great Teacher. ”
"Alright, let's go to town first. ”
Great!, someone in the team said happily.
Finally arrived at a town, and after walking in the desert for many days, I already smelled it.
Several students cheered with joy.
Al walked closest to Kajimi, although the soldiers around her were staring at her fiercely, but she was also a paladin, and her innate sense of honor and Kajimi didn't hate him in the first place, and often leaned over cheekily.
"Princess Kajimi, I'm about to go to the town of the Empire, and I can take you to see the customs of the Empire. ”
"Okay!" standard courtesy smile.
Alas, still too young, I sighed in my eyes and in my heart.
It was noted that Edmund did not specify the time of departure, and it appeared that he had come to inspect the work.
He moved left and right along Lias's body, and looked around, since entering the territory of the Asta Empire, mountains and forests had appeared, and after winter, many plants had sprouted new sprouts.
He could understand what the birds were saying.
A few of the soldiers at the checkpoint remained, and all the rest were led by the expeditionary force and the chieftain of Siwa City
Wadson Town is the closest town to the desert country, and many of the buildings here also have the style of desert residents, among which Wang Chu also saw some people with brown skin, who are desert residents, and the goods of both countries are also set up on the street.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Can you let it go, let it get a little bit!" a procession of thousands of people entered the city, blocking almost half of the largest street.
The crowd looked to the rear, and a fast horse ran towards the front of the procession as if it were dying.
"You don't want to die, this is on the street, how can you run around. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Everyone ran away, leaving a beautiful back.
The other soldiers in the team were about to chase back, especially the soldiers from Wadson Town, where the top boss came over, how could this happen.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Edmund waved his hand and said, maybe he had just come out of the torturous desert, the Great Mentor seemed to be in a good mood today, Wadson Town was located on the border, and it was normal for the people here to be less polite than Hajar City.
"Who is this person, so rude, it's still a girl. ”
In the group of students, Cecia frowned and looked at the end of the road, and there was no longer a shadow of anyone running past.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and there is no comparison with a big city like Hajar City, and with local soldiers leading the way, those pedestrians who see the procession coming are very interested in occupying the shops or alleys on both sides.
"What kind of place is there, I'm in a hurry to see her hurrying. ”
Lias looked ahead, and at this time the team happened to slowly pass by a shop with an open window, it was a fruit seller, she weighed the money bag on her belt, and when she came out of the house, she brought a lot of money, but it was useless along the way.
"How much do these cost?"
Looking at the old man in the store, he drew a few numbers.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties, was draped in several large patched robes, and the bird pet hung above the window.
"Hello, hello. ”
Wang Chu listened to the other party greeting him, and then tilted his head to look at himself.
"By the way, old man, do you know what lies ahead?" asked Lias, pointing to the place where the speeding man had disappeared.
"Oh, front. You guys...... Why haven't I seen you before, or anyone from the desert...... The place at the end of the right turn in front is the adventurer's guild hall, you can go to that place to receive the quest, recently the mayor of the town released a new quest, I heard that the reward is quite a lot, many people rush to it. "Although the old man is not very good at hearing, he speaks very fluently, and after living here for a long time, of course he has seen some people from the desert.
"It turns out that there is the Adventurer's Guild Hall. Lias looked ahead.
In other words, the person just now was probably an adventurer, who went to take on the task and bought a few fruits.
Adventurer's Guild.
That is, the place where adventurers take on their daily tasks, unlike Lias and Al, who are born with backgrounds, many commoner-born people have not received a good education and cannot enter the higher education class, nor can they directly enter the management class, so they can only rely on these ordinary tasks to get out little by little.
It is said that adventurers are also ranked, and high-level adventurers are not only experienced in actual combat, but also not weak in ability with members such as the Wizards' Association or Paladins.
Lias returns to the group with the fruit and tells Lucia what happened.
"Oh, I see, have you asked what the mission is?"
