Chapter Sixty-Eight: Steel City

"Earlier, it turned out to be a barber, what a real offense just now!" the man smiled and apologized. The outsiders in the east have become a rare people, and they are naturally much more polite to these people. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Dima had just returned to China, the public execution of Zero had shocked the whole country, causing panic in the small villages recently, and they would not have been wary of Lin Qiu's identity just now.

Zero has many supporters among several villages, and news often comes from the royal capital that some villages are plotting rebellions. But in his experience, most of these rumors were groundless, and the idea of rebellion in the hearts of the villagers had already been smoothed out by the achievements of the construction of the royal capital.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help muttering: "But it's a pity that Master Zero is really a pity." ”

Among the several guards of Prince Dima, Zero is one of the few who have a friendly attitude towards his subordinates, not only the surrounding villagers, but even in the royal capital, there are not a few people who admire her. She should have a bright future, but she didn't expect that the trip to the imperial capital directly buried everything. Prince Dima ordered it down, and there was no one who dared to speak for Zero.

"You don't have to say a word. The people around him persuaded: "If these words are added to by someone with a heart, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

After hearing this, Lin Qiu pretended to be curious and approached a few people and asked, "What is the matter with Master Zero you are talking about?"

"Young man, you'd better not know about this. If you want to survive in the royal capital, it's best not to know anything, don't be curious about anything, and whoever is executed, it should be as good as watching the fun. The man kindly persuaded. These days, the atmosphere in the royal capital is suffocating, and everyone pretends that they don't know anything about it, and they only dare to talk a few words when they take a few turns out of the royal capital.

"I've also just come from the imperial capital, and I've heard of her name somewhat, so I'm going to ask a few questions. Lin Qiu said.

"You also just came from the imperial capital?" the man repeated, looking at Lin Qiu back and forth.

Intellectually speaking, he knew that he shouldn't mention this talk, but he didn't treat him well, and now seeing her in trouble, there was no one to speak for her, so he inevitably felt cold, and there was no place to vent his complaints, so he complained a few words. Now that I met an outsider, I became the best person to talk to.

Outsiders should not go to the palace and gossip.

"That's okay, but don't tell anyone about this, after entering the royal capital, you and I will treat it as if we have never met. The man said.

The encounter between several of them and Zero can be traced back to a rule set by Prince Dima.

In the east, status and strength are directly linked, and generally speaking, there is only one way for villagers to enter the royal city - through conscription trials. The so-called trial actually sends a team composed of a village into the jungle of the Far East without any training, and allows the villagers to hunt monsters and collect monster crystal nuclei, and successfully hunt 3 C-level crystal nuclei or 1 B-level crystal nucleus to be eligible to become the most basic soldier under Dima.

This brutal trial requires the villagers not only to rack their brains to kill large monsters that are far superior to them, but also to guard against ambushes from villagers from other villages after obtaining the crystal nucleus. At that time, they were cornered by the villagers of another village, and when they were desperate, they met Zero.

"Later, Master Zero dismissed the ambushers and led us into the royal city. Although Master Zero is an orphan, he was raised by the villagers of Morning Dew Valley in his childhood, and knowing that we are also villagers of Morning Dew Valley saved our lives. The man's tone was flat as he recounted their encounter with Zero.

"But now that Master Zero is in trouble, there is nothing we can do. The others were helpless: "If we oppose Prince Dima, not only will we not be able to save Master Zero, but we will also affect the entire village!"

"If there really is a god here, please bless Lord Zero!" said the other man with his hands folded in the direction of the mountaintop.

Lin Qiu probably had a number in his heart.

However, at the same time, he was also shocked by Dima's dominance over the entire east, knowing that even Albert at that time did not have the idea of making the people of the imperial capital rebel. The opposition, represented by Richard, and the neutral faction represented by Princess Sophia, have always existed.

Dima has not yet ascended the throne at the moment.

"Thank you. ”

"Somewhere, it's better to say something. The man waved his hand.

"But I still have a question, how can we enter the royal city?"

"It's not difficult, as long as you claim to be a merchant from the imperial capital, the guards will let you in. However, remember to be cautious in your words and actions after entering the royal city, your unintentional words may bring you unpredictable disasters. As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the mountaintop: "That is the eastern royal capital, the city of steel." ”

Due to the warmth and mist, Lin Qiu could only vaguely see that there was still a black oppressive object on the side of the mountain, he originally thought that it was just a continuous mountain range.

"By the way, I'm Jailer Hatta, and if you open a barber shop in the city another day, I'll definitely come to cheer you on. ”

"Definitely, definitely. Lin Qiu said, took the feather-soaked Phoenix in his hand, and walked towards the hot spring. Hatta and the others returned to hot springs and trivial matters.

Lin Qiu changed his clothes, and Ophelia and the others also walked out with a smile. Out of nowhere, they found loose robes, and the steam of the hot springs steamed their skin red, and it looked very attractive.

When Stian saw Lin Qiu, he greeted him with a big grin and said, "I vaguely heard you guys chatting hotly, how about it?"

This tone is exactly like the care of the seniors for the younger generations.

Lin Qiu said proudly, "When you were talking about some innocuous topics, I had already found out the information about the royal capital. ”

"Oh, worthy of my favorite newcomer!

"We can infiltrate the royal capital as a merchant, and the public execution of Zero will take place in a few days, so we have plenty of time to carry out our plan for a prison robbery. Those people mentioned just now that Zero is only one of Prince Dima's guards, which means that there is more than one existence around Dima who is similar or stronger than Zero at this moment, so it is not wise to openly rob the prison and then fight the entire east, and the first thing we have to do today is to find out where Zero is being held. ”

"Are you saying there are quite a few masters of the same level?" Judith was slightly stunned.

Although the eastern part has always been a great power comparable to the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Glory, this cutting-edge combat power is still too exaggerated. She has been assessed to zero, and judging by the strength she has shown, she is already comparable to the Inquisition Army of the Church. And it is said that Dima's strength is still above these people, and he himself has always been the strongest in the east.

For Lin Qiu and Ophelia, the difficulty of this kind of task is really exaggerated.

"But we don't have the goods. Ophelia pointed out the loopholes in Lin Qiu's plan.

"As for the goods, I've already thought about it, so wrap it on me. Lin Qiu patted his chest confidently and said.
