Chapter 054: Chanda

Along the way, the old G didn't even speak again, as if he was thinking about something, and the big man named Peter and the Ranger named Roaring embellished my wings intentionally or unintentionally, as if to protect me, more like to prevent me from escaping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, this is to be expected. As for old G, his genuine brother's musket appeared in my hand, and it makes no sense that I completely trust me in a sentence or two, who knows if it is possible that I have plotted the musket that Nabal obtained? Before the truth is revealed, the best thing to do is to stabilize it first and get it back to my base camp.

Of course, if Old G knew my true identity and knew that Nabal had told me that "secret", it is estimated that he would have killed me on the spot immediately.

We ran along the west bank of the You River for most of the day, and the horse was a little tired, and the old G put the horse full of speed, and turned back to me and said, "The horse is tired, let's rest here for one night, and we will go again tomorrow morning." ”

So I got Caesar off the horse, and he's still demented. Roaring went around to gather some dry firewood, and Peter began to pitch his tent.

Old G suddenly asked me for no reason: "Emmons, how did you provoke those people?"

I was thinking about the answer to this question all the way, and when I heard Lao G ask, I immediately answered: "I don't know, my friends met them and became like this, of course I want to help, and then you will know." "I'm not lying, and that's true, but there's something deep I haven't said.

Old G shook his head: "It can't be so simple. The Dark Order's Inquisitors have never been dispatched casually, and there are only two possibilities that can provoke the Dark Inquisitors, one is that you kill important people in the Dark Order. Old G said, raising his head and staring solemnly into my eyes, "The second possibility is that you are a dark cultist who has apostated!"

It was as if my heart had been struck by a sledgehammer. I once again wondered if Lao G knew something, this day had caused me too much fright, but I still kept a calm look and said lightly: "Important people...... We did kill a centurion of the Dark Order named Buckley, and maybe they came from that. ”

Old G frowned, as if he didn't expect me to answer so calmly, he stared at me for a while, and slowly swallowed: "So it is possible." The trial that came this time was not high, and it should belong to the lowest level of personnel. If it is said that in order to avenge a centurion, this is also reasonable. After speaking, Lao G patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, brother, I thought you were powerless, I don't know how the eldest brother would befriend you, but I didn't expect you to have stabbed a centurion of the Dark Order, it seems that I really underestimated you." ”

I squeezed out a smile, and by this time Peter had set up his tent, and Roar had gathered dry wood, and old G, without asking any more questions, lit a campfire, and gave me a leg of mutton.

As I chewed on the leg of lamb in my hand, I felt the underwear behind my back soaked with sweat and chills.

After eating, Old G chatted with Roar and Peter again, I don't know if it was because they were wary of me or because their lives were boring, they just talked about eating and women. The night was fast approaching, and I went into the tent that had been assigned to me and took a nap.

But my ears were still pricked up, hoping to hear some unexpected information.

I don't know how long it took, but my consciousness was already foggy, and I was almost about to fall asleep, when I suddenly heard a roaring voice whispering, "Boss, is there anything wrong with this person?"

Immediately I woke up and pricked up my ears to listen to them.

Old G didn't speak, but I could feel that he seemed to glance at my tent. Then he said in a smaller voice: "I can't be sure yet, but it shouldn't be someone from the Dark Order, it may be a spy of the five great powers, and the identity of a free man is almost impossible." ”

Then came Peter's voice, so low that he could almost hear the breath: "Then do you want to kill him?"

The hairs on my body instantly grew up.

After a while, Old G said, "No, as long as it's not from the Dark Order." We are now in a bit strained with the five major powers, and there is no need to make any more enmities. And he said, "I wish it were Rhodok's spies." ”

My heart moved, and then, I heard a roar and lowered my voice and laughed: "The boss thinks that it would be better to have a spy sent by Illya, right?"

Then there was no movement outside, and I waited for a while, but I couldn't stay up, and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Lao G woke me up by patting my leg, and he smiled and said, "It's time for us to go, and we can sleep in Zenda's bed tonight." "I noticed that when Lao G mentioned Zenda, a smile flashed in his eyes, which made people feel very warm, as if he was mentioning his hometown.

We got on the horse, and this time Peter and Roar were no longer on my side, Roar and Old G got together, Peter ran barefoot far ahead, and I followed Caesar at the end.

For a moment, I had the idea of running away, but as soon as the idea came to me, I rejected it myself. I spent so much scheming and killed so many brothers, didn't it just to get Sephiroth close to Old G, and now that I am going to do it myself, why should I run away? I honestly followed behind Old G, and my mind began to think about the variables that might arise after the meditation and the corresponding countermeasures.

In the evening, we can already faintly see the walls of Zenda.

I remember going to Zenda a few years ago, when it was still a small town, the walls were so low that you could jump over them on horseback, and the people in it lived a stable and peaceful life. But after a few years, the Zenda that appeared in front of me was hidden behind a strong wall ten meters high, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside the city, and many people who wanted to enter the city at the gate of the city had formed a long queue, including merchants driving carriages and civilians dragging their families, but in terms of prosperity, it was no less than any big city.

The guards at the gates of the city, dressed neatly and cleanly in hard leather armor, carrying a heavy crossbow on their backs and Germanic swords at their waists, were checking the people entering the city one by one. Although it was already dusk, the guards were still in good spirits. I noticed that the guards were very sloppy in their inspection of the common people, and only asked what was in their bags, who they had come to Chanda, and they were allowed to pass through after a look at the carriages, and the inspection of those caravans was much stricter, requiring not only a list of goods, but also a cart by cart, box by box.

Old G stopped beside me and said, "Half a year ago, Chanda was a small town, but now it is beginning to take shape. You said you had traveled around Calradia, what is your impression of Zenda now?"

I said, "Magnificent, rigorous, and ...... Close to the people. ”

Old G asked me curiously, "How do you see it?"

I pointed to the city gate over there, and there was an old lady who was tired of walking and was sitting beside the guards at the city gate. If it had been in Tiha or Sagos, the old lady would have been kicked to the ground by the sentry in no time.

Lao G smiled and nodded: "The soldiers of Chanda are all from poor people, and their service is voluntary, because they know that they are standing guard for their families and their hometowns. So it's different from other cities. In recognition of their contribution to the security of Chanda, they receive a certain public allowance every month in addition to a fixed salary. That is to say, as long as the people are satisfied with their current life, they will be able to get more allowances, and if the people are not satisfied, they will have to deduct the money. ”

I nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, not only will they not oppress the people, but they will also take the initiative to stop and punish those who oppress the people." This trick is really good, was it Count Arassis who came up with it?"

Old G smiled but didn't say anything.

We rode forward and stopped at the end of the procession entering the city. As the front team entered the city one by one, we slowly moved inside.

I wondered: "Old G, aren't you a character with a head and a face in Zenda, why do you have to line up?"

Old G said: "Set an example." I don't queue and soon there will be no queues. In Zenda, everyone had to line up, including me, including Count Arassis. As soon as Lao G finished speaking, the caravan boss in front of him turned around, and seemed to be very familiar with Lao G, and the two of them said hello.

At this moment a fast horse came from a distance, followed the procession, and rushed in through the side door.

Lao G said: "That's the daily patrol scouts of the regular sentry scouts, they don't need to queue up, this is a special case." ”

The inspection of the guards was efficient and soon it was our turn. Neither G nor I had any big items with us, but the guards looked at them casually, saluted them, and let us in.

As soon as he entered the city, many people saluted Lao G, who smiled and replied one by one, and led the horse to the mercenary inn not far away. "You have a day off here today, the owner of the place, Suke, is very warm and friendly. I'll arrange a place for you to live, and I'll take you for a walk around Chanda tomorrow, and by the way, I'll find Longxi to treat your friend's injuries. Old G said, and signed my horse to the stable.

I finally couldn't help but wonder and asked, "What is your identity in Chanda, and why does it seem that everyone respects you very much?"

Old G smiled: "That's just everyone giving me face." With that, he walked into the hotel and paid for my room. The innkeeper named Suke seemed to be an old acquaintance of Old G, and he generously gave a 20% discount.

Boss Su Ke smiled and said, "This brother, you are lucky, just in time for the availability of the store in this store." If you had come a few days earlier, you would have had to sleep in the bar below. ”

Old G smiled at me and left. I walked into the room that Soker had arranged for me, it was clean and tidy, there was no musty smell that the mercenary hotel seemed to linger all year round, and the sheets and bedding were clean. I put Caesar on the opposite bed and sat down on the other soft bed.

The door closed, and I could finally quietly think about my next move in Dzenda.
