Chapter Seventy-Two: Enter
Even if Ian doesn't talk about it, Ron has already planned to do this for these different materials.
And, according to what Ian said before, the City Guard's data room is not only about these common sense things, but also has other kinds of information.
For example, Best's army training methods, information about the major families in Soros City, strange events happening in the surrounding area, or most importantly, the dynamics of the Forbidden Forest of Andaz.
These may not be much for others, but they are most needed for Ron, who is extremely insightd.
You know, many of Ron's dangers along the way are caused by his ignorance of the world.
For example, the original intelligence teams of the demon bloodline, the big bird with the title of watchman, and even Bradley Manor a month ago.
These dangers, if he had known some information in advance, might have been able to avoid them.
However, it is precisely because of short-sightedness that he has fallen into danger again and again.
As a result, after he came out of Aura territory, he felt that he was passive in everything, and he didn't know until it happened.
Therefore, compared to the other substantial benefits of joining the Best regular army, these materials are what Ron needs most at the moment.
With his eyes fixed on the burning campfire, Ron looked up at the dark night sky.
The stars had all gone, and there was not a sound in the silent grove, only a thick black glow.
It seemed to be the darkest hours of the morning, and Ron simply didn't sleep anymore, just sitting in front of the campfire and chatting with Ian.
Soon, a hazy morning light rose from the east.
After eating breakfast and packing up their things, the three of them continued on their way.
The next day at noon.
After passing through the slightly shady woods, the carriage skirts a turquoise lake and leads to a wide road.
The road is very lively, and a convoy of various horse-drawn carriages or a single horse is slowly driving on this road.
The carriage of the three men was inserted from the path, and it was not at all conspicuous.
As soon as he entered the main road, Ron saw a tall pitch-black wall appear in the distance.
Behind the city walls, there are huge towering buildings.
There are also several circular objects floating next to the building, on which are hung colorful ribbons, and on the ribbons there are some blurred handwriting.
From the appearance alone, Ron can imagine the prosperity of the city, although it is slightly worse than its predecessors, but for the context of this era, a city of this size is undoubtedly spectacular.
"Is this Soros?" exclaimed Ron. "It's the first time I've seen such a bustling place. ”
"That's right. Ian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a somewhat helpless tone. "This is Soros. ”
After a pause, he lifted a hint of energy and smiled.
"There's a lot of fun stuff in there, I'll take you around when I have time, now, let's go in first." ”
"Hmm. Ron nodded, reining in the horses and moving on.
Patrick's carriage drove slowly behind a brown carriage.
As he got closer to the pitch-black walls, two equally black gates appeared in Ron's field of vision.
The gates were wide open, and carriages and pedestrians entered and exited from inside.
On either side of the city gates, two rows of soldiers in full-body armor stood.
These soldiers all held a slender silver spear in their hands, a standard cross sword hanging from their waists, and a cold look could be faintly felt under the hideous helmets.
All pedestrians or carriages entering Soros were stopped by these soldiers and subjected to meticulous inspection, which looked very strict.
Ron's carriage soon arrived at the city gate, and Ian pulled out the certificate from the Pfister Line from his chest, signaled to one of the soldiers, and entered without incident.
Entering Soros and passing through a few streets, Ron discovers that the city is indeed far more prosperous than it seems.
The road is lined with black lampposts that have been erected one by one, and next to it are rows of shops selling various items.
The stone-paved ground was clean and tidy, and some open-top wagons that resembled rentals sped through the road from time to time.
In front of a restaurant-like shop not far down the street, several young girls in gorgeous dresses were walking out of it with chuckles.
Riding on horseback, Ron was surprised to find that one of the girls was holding a rope in her hand, and at the end of the rope was a strange creature with two tails, resembling a miniature dinosaur.
The creature wore a black bow around its neck, spit out its long, pink tongue from time to time, and obediently followed several young girls.
As if seeing the curiosity in Ron's eyes, Ian explained with a smile.
"That's a two-tailed salamander, mild temperament, a pet that has become popular in Soros in recent years, but because the living environment is more troublesome, the price is relatively expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, I remember when I ran away from home, Audrey's woman still had two to play with, if you like it, I can grab it and give you one. ”
"Forget it. Ron retracted his gaze and shook his head. "Let's go to the City Guard as soon as possible, is it still far away?"
"It should be soon. Ian looked around and made out the location. "The City Guard is in Soros' location near the center, three blocks away. ”
"Hmm. ”
Ron nodded, and said no more, but looked at the buildings around him, and still looked at the curiosity.
After crossing three streets, the carriage soon stopped in front of an off-white building.
Compared to the streets passed, the surrounding area of this building is relatively sparsely populated, and only a few pedestrians can be seen scattered.
At the top of this tall building stands a blue-and-white shading flag with a lion's head, which is Best's national flag.
The building's doors were slightly open, and two soldiers in silver armor stood on either side.
Ian jumped off his horse and walked over to a soldier and said something
After a while, he turned back and beckoned Ron over.
When the two walked in, Ian pointed to the soldier.
"You follow him to report first, I'll go home first, and I'll come back in two days. ”
"Okay. Ron nodded in response.
"Hmm. ”
Seeing Ron's response, Ian turned back to the horse, turned on his horse, and walked away.
As Ian's background disappeared into the end of the street, the soldier pulled the visor off his helmet, revealing a young, ordinary face.
He looked at the two of them quietly, and then said lightly to Ron.
"Since you're a friend of Lord Ian, come with me, and I'll take you to report. ”
"Okay, thank you. Ron nodded.
The soldier pushed open the door, and Ron followed, but when Patrick in the back wanted to go in with him, the soldier stopped abruptly, pointed at Patrick, and frowned.
"When did I let you in!?"
"Ahh
As if he didn't see Patrick's expression, the soldier shook his hand and said.
"Wait at the door, someone will lead you later. ”
Then, he turned to Ron and said.
"Let's go, there's still a lot of formalities to go through later. ”
Glancing at Patrick outside the door, Ron didn't speak, and followed the soldier into the building.
