Chapter 21: The City of Tara Khan

The walls of the city of Tara Khan are very high, and the panda has not learned to measure and build, so it is impossible to determine its actual height, but at least it can be roughly judged that it is much higher than the walls of the castle.

The towering walls are very wide, and the blue-gray walls are full of heaviness. Standing under the city wall, no matter how tall a burly man is, he suddenly becomes a small man. Even the panda himself, when he walked to the gate and looked up, found that he was not even a third as tall as the gate—and the gate was at least twice as far as the top of the city wall.

(Why are the walls of the fantasy world so majestic...... For the little eggplant, even if it is a city wall of hundreds of meters, it can easily fly over. )

The panda complained in his heart, but he still stood honestly in the queue to enter the city, waiting patiently.

Fortunately, there were not many people entering and leaving the city gate in the afternoon, and he was lined up in a short time.

"What's your name, where did you come from?" asked the guy who looked like the leader of the Guards lazily.

"Panda, from the steppe. I'm a wandering martial artist. Panda replied.

The little leader looked at him carefully and frowned: "Take off your helmet!"

The panda took off his helmet, and the black and white bear face showed a simple expression.

The little boss obviously hadn't seen a panda man, so he looked at it carefully and sighed: "Let's wear it, I know why you wear it." ”

He looked at the panda with a little more sympathy: "You look so weird, no wonder you can't get along with the orcs." Don't worry, our human society will not discriminate against you because you are ugly...... Anyway, for us, whether it's a white bear or a black bear, it's almost the same. ”

This guy's thinking circuit is really a bit problematic, and the panda was stunned by him for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Fortunately, this little boss was quite reasonable, and he didn't mean to make trouble or ridicule at all, and told him a few words such as "don't make trouble", "don't get excited because others say you're ugly, everyone has no bad intentions" and "remember to register when you stay in a hotel", and so on, and let him enter the city, which surprised the panda who originally planned to pay the city tax.

When he crossed the city gate, he heard the guards behind him ask the little leader: "Captain, why don't you collect him a city entry tax?"

"Alas, man, do more good deeds. Looking at his appearance, you can know that he usually suffers a lot. Don't look at the big man, maybe he has a total of a few copper coins on him, forget it, don't get into trouble for this little thing. The captain sighed and said, "We all have wives and children, and it's not worth having a conflict with a bear man over the city tax." ”

The latter words, the panda couldn't hear clearly.

He smiled and walked along the road to a barracks on the side of the road.

The layout of the city of Tara Khan was definitely the work of some obsessive-compulsive person, one by one, neatly and symmetrically. For example, on the left and right sides of this main road, there are two military camps. One is an infantry battalion and the other is an archery battalion.

As for the cavalry battalion, for ease of mobilization, it was built outside the city.

The panda came to the door of the bow barracks, where the bow and arrow banner was hung, and said to the guards guarding the gate, "I am a wandering martial artist looking for a job. I heard you have patrols and bandits here, right?"

The guard glanced at him and shook his head: "We are a barracks here, and we only accept those who sign up to join the army." If you want to find a job, you have to go further on, there is an official residence on the left and right of the Earl's Palace, the administrative residence on the left and the military residence on the right. The city guard is in the military residence, you should go there and find work. ”

He said this very skillfully, and it seems that he usually does not say much less.

The panda thanked him and walked quickly to the end of the road, where on both sides of the majestic Earl's Court were two official residences with very different styles.

The administrative residence on the left is decorated in blue, and the guards at the gate wear light armor, and the doors and windows are beautifully decorated, and people in civilian clothes come and go. The main color of the military residence on the right is red, the door is guarded by a strong man in heavy armor, the doors and windows are almost decorated, and almost all the people who enter and exit are martial artists.

(I remember that it was said in the information that the relationship between the civil and military officials of the Tara Khan was very bad, because the earl had been stirring up contradictions and struggles between them, so as to prevent the civil and military officials from joining forces to overthrow the lord...... )

Panda recalled the information in his heart, went to the military attaché's mansion, and asked the porter about the location of the city defense officer's office.

"City defense officer, just turn left, and the two rooms door to door are city defense officers. The porter replied, "One is in charge of the defense of the city, the other is in charge of the defense of the city, and there are words written on the door—are you literate?"

The panda nodded.

"Literacy is a good thing, you can leave the money to hire the clerk. My son is just a teenager who can't even write his own name......"

Holding back the thought of asking, "Is your family's surname Sughar?" Panda thanked him and went to the office of the official in charge of defense outside the city.

The city guard, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, asked the panda to take off his helmet and look at it, then asked him to sign a paperwork, and then said, "All the work that can be done is written on the wall, see for yourself."

The panda looked back, and sure enough, there was a blackboard on the wall on the same side as the gate, on which some tasks were written in chalk.

It was no different from what he remembered, nothing more than the destruction of beasts, monsters, bandits, and so on. As long as you come back with a token and after inspection, it is confirmed that it is fresh, and you can receive the reward with the token.

As for what exactly is a "token"...... Hehe, that's a mosaic thing to be put in a children's film.

The panda looked at it for a while, nodded, thanked him again, and went out with an exclamation of "You are the most polite orc I have ever met".

Although he was anxious to find a way to stop the catastrophic storm that swept through the city of Tarakhan, no matter how anxious he was, things had to be done step by step.

According to the plan conceived for him by Sleepless, he will first take the mission from the city defense officer, and then hand over the dagger from the Avi gang when he hands in the task tomorrow, and the city defense officer should give him a task of "tracking down the whereabouts of the bandits". Then he used this task to lure the city defense army to the gangsters who were about to plague the city of Tarakhan.

Spreading the plague throughout the city is certainly not something that one person can do. In the game, the villain boss has a group of lackeys under him, all of whom are crazy villains. They usually pretend to be honest people, run a lumber yard, and in fact do all kinds of evil things in the lumber yard.

With the strength of Panda alone, it is not enough to destroy the magic cave disguised as a lumberyard. But as long as the city defense army is lured away in the name of "exterminating the Awei bandits", there is no need to worry about them not clashing.

In the city defense army, there are quite a few fanatical law enforcers who are "holy sanctions" as soon as they get started, and those who are far more evil than the bandits, are simply incompatible with them, and they will definitely fight when they meet.

Regardless of the outcome of this conflict, as long as they fight, the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes to spread the plague will be considered bankrupt.
