Despite Rodin's suspicions, time transitioned smoothly, and he finally arrived at Elden City in the early morning of the seventh day after his departure. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period, the team members quietly divided the 100,000 Marelli into 60 parts, including 51 families, and 9 young men, including Rodin, with an average of about 2,000 Marelli per share, and did not increase or decrease the number according to the number of people. After dividing it, they did not immediately send it to everyone, but prepared to surprise everyone at the final parting.

A few miles outside the city gates, the townsfolk saw the caravans coming and going, pouring into Elden.

Originally, the people were apprehensive, thinking that their large group would be quite conspicuous, and the honest townspeople were very unaccustomed to being pointed at by others.

However, the fact is that in just one hour, four large teams of more than two hundred people walked by, and there were more than forty horse-drawn carriages loaded with all kinds of goods, and there were countless small teams of twenty or thirty people entering and leaving the city gates.

The townsfolk also knew that their worries were unnecessary, and in this endless stream of people, their shabby rustic spirit did not attract too much attention, and could only be seen as passers-by, without a trace.

On the other hand, compared to Elden's door, a caravan would only arrive in Hidden Town every ten days, and Rodin thought that perhaps Hidden Town was not as large as a street in Elden City.

Rodin asked the large army to stay more than fifty meters away from the city gate first, and he took Fletcher and a few men to investigate first.

After a while, several people came to the gate of Elden City, although they had already predicted it in their hearts, they still inevitably lost their minds for a moment, of course, Rodin, who was accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings in his previous life, was not among them.

The towering city wall of thirty meters high is not easy to climb over even if it is the spirit hunt that Rodin encountered that night. The wall is smooth and smooth, looking cold and simple, which reminds him of the handwriting of a clever wall masonry master in his previous life. On the city wall, rows of soldiers with bows and arrows watched the flow of people below with sharp eyes, and in the middle of the city wall, a majestic, cold arched gate opened, and at the gate, a group of well-equipped soldiers were checking the flow of people and goods entering the city one by one.

They held a palm-sized, swarthy spindle crystal in their hands, and each time they finished asking, they would attach the crystal to his back, and then the crystal would glow a faint purple color, and the fee would be paid and released.

About 12 out of 10 teams were not able to make the detection crystals shine, and they were unceremoniously "invited" to the other side by the soldiers.

Rodin speculated that the former were inhabitants of the Empire, while the latter, like them, were sinners.

The criminals and the citizens of the empire, as expected, were treated very differently.

What happened to the sinners who were "invited" away?

Crowds of people coming in and out, lined up in an orderly manner.

Rodin and the others continued to watch quietly not far away. Gradually, more discoveries were made.

Many of the caravans that passed by the townspeople were dressed at a significant difference from the townspeople, giving Rodin the feeling of being similar to the ancient Persia and the Great Food area of the earth, most of them wore turbans of different colors, and their long robes hung down to the knees, both in terms of fabrics and styles, they were much more foreign than the townspeople.

In addition, their males all have black beards.

In addition to the caravans, the other type of people who entered and exited the city gate most frequently were a group of guys wearing armor, carrying large swords, scimitars, hammers, bows and arrows, two-handed axes, and various weapons.

However, for the caravan guards who were expressionless, they became kind and pleasant when they saw this group of people.

After glancing at the silver and white badges they wore on their chests, they were cleanly released.

"Hunter's Badge".

Obviously, this group belongs to the Hunters' Guild.

Several of them soon turned around and told the crowd the truth, and the townsfolk expressed concern about the possible difficulties in their identity as criminals. Zola reassured the townspeople, explaining: "This is Eldon's usual rule, Imperial citizens need to pay 10 Marelli to enter the city, and their goods will not be searched, while the tax of criminals will be doubled, 20 Marelli, and no one or goods will be able to escape the search." ”

"Don't worry, although these guards don't like criminals, they don't dare to do anything that is too embarrassing for us in broad daylight. As long as the fee is paid, there is no problem. ”

"However, when I escaped, I didn't have any money with me, and I couldn't afford to pay it!"

"Except for this pile of clothes, I was penniless. ”

"What should I do, where to get these twenty Marelli?"

Ralph, Fletcher, and Rodin glanced at each other, and in front of everyone, they took out an open sack of burlap from the pile of supplies, and looked around, seeing that it did not attract the attention of others.

"Look, what is this!?"

In the surprised eyes of everyone, bags of heavy coins were taken out, and there was a pleasant collision sound.

"Is this for us?"

Several people smiled slightly: "Of course, we have already prepared a parting gift for everyone, and every family has a share, two thousand Marelli." ”

"Here, you've got it. Take this money and live well.

"Everyone come one by one, don't mess around. ”

The townspeople took the money bag and held it in their arms, and in their sight, several old people had wrinkled faces with smiles, but the corners of their eyes quietly fell into the crystal.

This windfall gave everyone a fresh pulse into the originally confused and bleak future, and Rodin could see a burning hope and vitality in their eyes.

He smiled too, willingly infected by the warmth.

The townspeople only felt that the hardships and hardships along the way were scattered with the wind, and their worries and sorrows were all left behind, and they followed Rodin and Zola to the city gate with brisk steps.

The guards at the head saw that the group of people were coarsely clothed and dusty, so they murmured in a low voice, and the corners of their mouths showed a trace of disdain.

The diamond-shaped crystal slashed across Zora at the forefront, but there was no response.

"Where did the sinners come from? “

"My lord, we're from Hidden Town. “

Zola was very humble, and there was a hint of flattery in his tone.

"More than a hundred, why did you enter the city?"

Seeing the other party's casual expression, Fletcher's heart was slightly on fire, and he rushed in front of Zola and said in a stiff tone:

"Hidden Town is gone, our home has been destroyed by a group of monsters, and most of our relatives and friends have died. Only about 100 people remained, and they made the long journey to Elden City to take refuge in the city of Elden in search of a place to make a living. “

"Oh, listen to your tone, do you want me to sympathize with you?"

The guard's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed his finger at Fletcher's chest angrily: "Find out your identity, and let you enter the city is the supreme gift of Lord Hill, don't cause trouble!"

Rodin pulled the red-faced Fletcher to the ground.

"You see that there are a lot of people waiting behind us, if there is any problem, continue, we absolutely know everything." “

"Hmph. “

The guards glanced at Rodin rather disapprovingly.

"You are all sinners?"

"If yes, bring your stuff and come here for inspection. ”

A group of people entered the city gate with goods, and although the guards were unforgiving, they did not make a small move, and cleanly checked the belongings carried by the townspeople, most of which were supplies, and they were almost consumed along the way.

Immediately afterwards, the townspeople paid the 20 Marelli tax to the guards one by one, although they had 2,000 Marelli as a base, but before they found a job, they used a little less, and many of them showed painful expressions.

When the guards got the money, they didn't say much and simply let them go.

But Rodin noticed that one of the soldiers was staring at the heavy bags of money in the hands of the townspeople, with a hint of hidden greed in his eyes.

Even if the sinners are robbed, it must not be easy to be treated fairly.

He kept an eye on it.
