Three men rode out of the stone fort gates, and in the foreground was a young man who looked a little thin and short, behind him, a man dressed as a clerk was touching a book and holding a charcoal pencil, and the other was unusually tall and burly, and even his horse looked stronger than the other two, with two long swords on his back, and he was next to the young man.

It could be seen that they had deliberately slowed down their horses, looking around from time to time as if they were walking, and the young man named Dunbar looked at the high walls of the Stone Fort behind him.

"Have you checked the exterior walls for looseness this year?"

The clerk flipped through the front page of the book and said, "Probably not, I didn't find any record of the overhaul." ”

"You should ascertain this matter as soon as possible, and if not, immediately notify the town hall to send craftsmen to overhaul the exterior walls, such a major matter concerning the castle should not be delayed. ”

"Yes, sir. "The clerk shall write down what he has said as it is.

Dunbar took the reins and looked at the fields adjacent to the castle: "Send someone to inform the farmers in these fields to send the seasonal crops to the castle's granary as soon as possible, and we must ensure that there is enough food in the cold wave." Remember, let the executor not misinterpret the meaning of the levy, and strictly follow the agricultural tax, and if I find out who collects it without permission, I will break his leg and hang him upside down on the city gate for three days. ”

Dunbar glanced at the clerk, clearly short and thin body, but this look made the clerk's heart tense, and cold sweat trickled down.

"Write down the original words, and don't change a word. ”

"Yes......" The clerk wiped his sweat and recorded quickly.

The three of them continued to walk out, and the outline of the sentry post could be faintly seen, and Dunbar remembered one more thing: "On the blacksmith's side, how is the winter armor prepared for the soldiers?" ”

"It's almost done. This time it was the burly man beside him who answered, and he was in charge of the specific matters of the soldier's armor, his voice was slightly low, with a faint sense of hoarseness, and his tone was flat, as if he didn't care much about anything.

"You have to make sure to the blacksmith that it is made according to my request, a layer of snow deer skin, a layer of cotton gauze, and the steel must be made of black steel, so that those people will not be careful, and since I have already paid for it, then the things must be made for me to be the best. "This is Dunbar's new type of armor for the Raymond family's legions, and although the leather coats commonly used are lightweight, they are not suitable for the garrisons defending the city.

"Hmm. The burly man responded, giving the impression that his tone was a little perfunctory, but Dunbar didn't care, he knew very well that his guard had always spoken in such a tone.

Dunbar suddenly reined in the reins of his horse, they were already approaching, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see that there was a commotion in front of the sentry post in the distance, and he frowned slightly, and ordered the man, "Thorsi, go and see what is going on." ”

"Wait, after you ask about the situation, if the soldiers want to take advantage of it, in my name, warn them to follow the rules and don't cause me trouble, there have been enough things lately, and I have to tear them up if they add some more trouble. ”

"Hmm. Thorsi replied again, flicked the reins of his horse, and the stout and tall horse kicked up its hind hooves, and whipped up dust and dust and galloped to the sentry post.

......

Horses that were at least thirty percent stronger than ordinary horses stopped in front of the checkpoint, and men who were also much taller and burlier than ordinary people jumped off their horses.

"What happened?" he asked.

Hodge had been looking at him from the moment he dismounted, the tall man had not covered his face with armor, so he could see his face very clearly, with many healing scars on his cheeks, obviously a battle-hardened veteran, and his eyes were quite special, a pair of yellow-brown vertical pupils, like cat's eyes, which were particularly strange.

Hodge quickly identified the man, only the eyes of a witcher could be so strange, and he was used to carrying two swords, one silver and one steel, behind him, which was typical of witchers.

Merely...... He didn't find any school insignia on the Witcher's chest, and the man's outfit didn't look like that of a Witcher, he was wearing a finely crafted black armor with a shield carved on his chest, and a snake spitting out a letter was placed in the shape of a shield.

Rattlesnake family coat of arms on black background......

If he's not mistaken, this is supposed to be the family crest of the Claire family, Duke of the South.

Why is it here?

The soldier straightened up and saluted the man: "Lord Soxi, these two are very suspicious and refuse to be examined by us, so they are ready to carry out the arrest. ”

"Name the reasons you find suspicious. Sossi's voice was so flat that he was saying "the weather is nice", and he couldn't hear any mood swings.

The soldier led by "this ......" swallowed his saliva and did not answer for a long time.

"Come. Sosi walked past the soldier and asked the two.

Devany thought for a moment and said without blushing, "He stared at my chest and said it was hidden." ”

"Ah~" Suo Xi also looked at it, but when he first came into contact with it, Hodge was already quietly blocking in the middle, Suo Xi smiled and turned his head: "This is the reason for the inspection, just because I can't control the lower half of my body?"

The soldier was slightly annoyed and said unconvinced: "That woman's identity is indeed problematic, she claims to be a herbalist, but she does not have the qualifications issued by the Herbal Medicine Association. ”

"I don't have any noble titles, but you still have to call me 'My Lord'" Soxi gave them a cold look, then turned back and asked abruptly, "What would you do if you were bitten by a corpse fly in the forest?"

Devonie said without thinking: "It depends on the time of the bite, within an hour I will use Cordyceps mixed with bitter vitex powder to the patient, more than this time but not up to a day, just use the yellow spot leaf mixed with sour oil to boil, more than a day will be troublesome, not only difficult to cure, but also have to do a good job of isolation, at this time it is already infectious." ”

Suo Xi was satisfied with this answer, and said to the soldiers: "Look, a doctor who is more skilled than the people of the Herbal Medicine Association needs a badge to prove himself?"

"Let them go if there are no other problems, this is what my family meant. ”

"Yes, yes. The soldier cowered and nodded, and sent Suo Xi away, before spitting fiercely on the ground, especially looking at Hodge unwillingly: "Good luck guy, get out of here, don't let Lao Tzu see you again." ”

It would be best if he could pass safely, Hodge would not be stupid enough to quarrel with the soldiers again, and walked in the direction of the city gate with the people of the Dunlo Chamber of Commerce.

As he approached the three soldiers, the one who had taken Daphne in his hands stomped his foot in exasperation and whispered to his companion, "Why do you say that our Raymond soldiers should obey the orders of the little princess?"
