Chapter 80: The Encounter of the Seven Fragments (Two in One)
Zhao Zhong walked on the road a little distracted, most of his life was spent on this land, if it weren't for that incident, he should still be here now, so for him, his feelings for the land are different from others.
When he came back to his senses, he had already walked through the streets and out of the city gates, and in front of him was a dense barracks, not simple houses built in hastily, but small fortresses built by magicians using earth magic!
If you look closely, you can see some soldiers training.
The Golden Empire is strong, and every city has elite troops, and in this era, due to the constant wars on the frontier, most countries cannot set up troops to protect every city like the Golden Empire, and even if there is, it will not be a strong force.
The Golden Empire is different, even a remote city like Xia City, which has no beast tide crisis, has thousands of soldiers, and there are many masters of cultivating Dou Qi in the troops.
Zhao Zhong still remembered that in the Golden Empire, the generals of any city could only be appointed at least undefeated!
You must know that when Dorlank and Alice were in Chaos City, the undefeated Seven Demons of Chaos can be described as a hegemon, and the undefeated level can already be said to be a rare master, and the Golden Continent is so extensive, and how many cities are there, but the Golden Empire can have at least one undefeated general in one city, how powerful!
In addition to this, each city also has a secret army, which is the city guard.
The city guards and the city guards are not the same concept, each of the city guards is a strong man above the senior level, the number of city guards is not large, and they will not appear with the city defense troops in peacetime.
And Zhao Zhong is now going to the location of the city guard. Because the garrison of the city guard and the barracks of the soldiers guarding the city are together, in appearance, the garrison of the city guard is no different from the residence of the barracks, except that there will be a mark.
Only some people know this mark, and those who know this mark can find the city guards and get a certificate of entry into the country.
It can be said that this is also a way for the Golden Empire to distinguish between friend and foe, and in many cases, some people will choose to illegally trespass on the borders of the Empire, and although the enchantment can sense and engrave the magic mark into their body, it has no effect on distinguishing friend from foe.
At this time, if you send a secret force to arrest you every time, there will be many problems, such as the intruder is too powerful, even the hidden force may not be able to bring it back, or the intruder has no malicious intent.
That's why there are city guards.
The guards of the Golden Empire belong to the organization directly under the empire, directly under the emperor's control, without going through any intermediate departments, and the executor troops are a special surname.
Guards are stationed in every city, but for ordinary people, they are not aware of the existence of guards, or cannot distinguish between guards and ordinary soldiers, because this organization is not set up for ordinary people, but people who illegally enter the territory of the empire.
When the barrier detects the invader, it sets a mark, and the time marked is seven days, and the empire will give the invader 3 days, and within 3 days, go to any city guard to leave his identity and get a certificate of entry, so there is no need to send troops.
And within 3 days, if the intruder only has a mark on his body and no proof of entry, then the secret force will be dispatched to cooperate with the guards of the nearest city to arrest the intruder.
Therefore, the strength of the city guards is very strong, otherwise how can we talk about arrest?
When the guardians were training, Zhao Zhong also served as a city guard, and at that time it was a heavy city, and there were masters with peerless strength among the city guards!
By the way, the certificate of entry is not a piece of paper or anything, but a magical shackle.
Anyone who illegally enters the Golden Empire must go to the city guard to get the certificate of entry, and after getting the certificate of entry, the mark of the enchantment will disappear, and it will be replaced by the certificate of entry, and if there is a certificate of entry on the body, then the imperial family will be able to control its vindictive magic, so the person who goes to get the certificate of entry on his own is also a disguised proof that he is not in danger and has no ill will towards the empire.
Of course, it is impossible for the royal family to restrict people for no reason, and if they do not do anything out of the ordinary, the certificate of entry will not be effective.
And the people who know the existence of this certificate of entry are basically not malicious to the empire.
However, if it is a real strong person, he can naturally ignore it, such as Bryant, he can be regarded as an illegal trespasser, but when his strength reaches his level, even the royal family will choose to turn a blind eye.
And Dolank and the others are like this, they just fled here, and by the way, they visited the next anniversary festival, and it didn't matter if they were admitted to the country.
Moreover, the certificate of entry will be erased after leaving the Golden Empire, or going to a designated place to prove identity.
Zhao Zhong, who was born in the Golden Empire, and Dolanke, who had the memory of Lin Long in his previous life, were very clear about this.
The barracks is an important place, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter it, but Zhao Zhong walked to a house in the barracks, and the soldiers who saw him on the side did not come forward to ask after seeing his destination clearly.
This house is a little dilapidated, although it is made of earth magic, but it seems that the door has been damaged, because the current door is wooden, and it looks like this door is incompatible with the house, it seems that two wooden planks were found at random to put together.
Zhao Zhong frowned slightly, the status of the city guards was very high in the army, if it weren't for Zhao Zhong seeing the secret mark on this house, he wouldn't believe that this was the city guard's station.
Looks like something must have happened to the guards here.
There was a "squeak", and the slightly dilapidated wooden door of the house was pushed open.
Zhao Zhong looked around the room, the furnishings in the garrison of the city guard were even more dilapidated than expected, a wooden counter was close to the door, and there were many miscellaneous things on the counter, but it was full of dust, and it could be seen that no one had used it for a long time.
On the opposite side of the counter were several wooden tables and chairs, some with thick white paper and pens, others with only dice and sieve cups, and a few soldiers were stepping on the chairs, drinking and chatting around a table, their armor was thrown aside, and they were playing with only their inner armor.
Zhao Zhong's brows furrowed even tighter.
This is the city guard? Didn't he enter some kind of ruffian camp?
At this time, several soldiers who were drinking and boxing also noticed that someone was coming, and one who looked a little immature, like a recruit, put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the man in white standing at the door, scratched his head, and seemed to be thinking about who Zhao Zhong was and what he was doing here.
"I should be here to fill out the form, second brother, you go. A soldier with a scar on his face "cut" and said to the other soldier, and then to the others, "Come, keep drinking." ”
The soldier known as the second child pursed his lips, walked over reluctantly, casually took a piece of paper and pen from the table, handed it to Zhao Zhong, and then said impatiently: "Hurry up and fill it in." ”
After all, Zhao Zhong was out of the imperial army, and the city guards he came into contact with when he was on a mission in his memory were all elites, although they were not as good as the troops like the executors, but as a force directly under the state, how could they be so sloppy, like a ruffian.
But he's not a man of many words, and he doesn't have much to do with the army now.
looked at the so-called form in their mouths, and sure enough, it was filled in with the entry status, and it seemed that this was indeed where the city guards were located.
Although the current Zhao Zhong has completed the two-in-one combination of the destruction fragments in his body, due to the violent movement of the demonic qi when he entered the body before, he is unable to use his fighting qi, but he is still sensitive to the perception of the aura.
These soldiers only have a slight fighting spirit on them, if they don't even reach the level of junior warriors, such soldiers are actually city guards?
Except for that scarface, the degree of vindictiveness on his body is not weak, and there seems to be some magic fluctuations.
This is a very strange thing, because the status of mages is actually much higher than that of warriors, and there are very few mages who join the army, even in super elite troops such as the Executor Army, mages are very rare.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that magicians belong to that kind of range of war weapons, and there is no magic in this world that cannot be used, such as the national royal magicians who can release magic together, and magic that exceeds their own level can also be released.
For example, when Zhao Zhong's Golden Empire was in the Golden Empire, he had seen royal magicians, and hundreds of magicians could work together to release magic beyond their own limits, so if magicians joined the army, they would be incorporated into special forces, not here.
And those who can receive magical training are generally not ordinary people.
However, this has nothing to do with him, just fill out the form and get the certificate of entry.
After taking the paper and pen, Zhao Zhong quickly filled in the names and nationalities of the four of them.
It has been discussed before, Diana's identity is Uhtred's servant status, after all, it is a noble status recognized by the Scarlet Empire, and it is not strange to bring a servant. And for the sake of convenience, Dorlank also mentioned that Uhtred's nobility was written on it.
"Huh, four people?" The second child took the information that Zhao Zhong had written and filled in, and was puzzled, then raised his head to look at Zhao Zhong, his eyes flashed with a hint of greed, "This is not easy to do, why didn't you bring your companions over." ”
"It doesn't matter. Zhao Zhong glanced at the second child.
The magic shackles of the entry certificate can't remove the mark of the barrier without an upper body, so it doesn't matter if you come alone.
"This is not good, who knows if there will be annihilations from other countries or fugitives from other countries among your companions. The second child leaned closer and smiled, "If something happens to us, we can't afford to blame it." ”
Zhao Zhong's expression was cold, and several soldiers over there also noticed the situation here, and they all looked like they were watching a show.
"The second child is going to dig up some benefits again. ”
"Second child, don't go too far. ”
But Scarface didn't turn his head to look at them, just drank to himself
Zhao Zhong had a nameless anger, although he had now betrayed the Golden Empire, he still recognized his identity in his heart. When he was training as a guardian, he had participated in the army and served as a city guard, and those were all first-class elite soldiers, even if they were not as elite as the executors, they were also the pride of the empire.
But these people can also be considered soldiers? It's an insult to the army of the Golden Empire!
"What, do you want to do it?" The second child saw that Zhao Zhong's expression was not good, and his face suddenly changed, and he shouted.
"The rules of the city guards do not ask where others come from. Zhao Zhong said, although these people are no different from garbage in his eyes, but after all, they are Golden Emperor [***] people, and he doesn't want to do it.
"Yo, do you still need you to teach me the rules?" the second child screamed, "It seems that he is definitely not a good person, brothers!"
At this time, Scarface put down his wine glass, and the other soldiers came over with a twist, and several people surrounded Zhao Zhong.
"Hold a sword and pretend to be a master?tell you, this is a military camp, Lao Tzu is a city guard, do the imperial troops know?" The second child's shouting became louder and louder, and even the soldiers outside the house could hear it.
"Third child, go and close the door. Scar's face tilted, and he said to the soldiers who were close to the door, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Zhong, "Boy, I don't know who you're helping for, but you don't even have a bit of vindictiveness, it seems that you are also a subordinate." ”
Kicking away the chair, Scarface walked to the second child's side, looked at the paper in the old second-hand hand, and sneered, "Your master is the viscount of the Scarlet Empire? ”
Zhao Zhong glanced at Scarface, in the circle of nobles of the Golden Empire, they basically think so, unless the nobles of other empires are above the earl, they are all hillbillies in the eyes of the nobles of the Golden Empire.
However, this tone can also make Zhao Zhong sure that the identity of this scarface is definitely not as simple as a soldier.
"Huh. Zhao Zhong suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you to have the same opinion as me." ”
"What?" Scarface froze.
"This viscount of the Scarlet Empire is also a scum in my eyes. Zhao Zhong put his hand on the hilt of his sword, "However, compared to you, he is a little cute." ”
If Dorranke was here, he would definitely gloat and tell this group of ruffians that when Zhao Zhong talked more, it would mean that he was angry.
"The hooligans again?" the soldier who was training heard the voice and asked.
"No, I just saw someone passing by, and I didn't have time to stop it. His companion sighed.
"Don't you need to inform the captain, why do we have such a bunch of guys in our army?" the soldier asked.
"You've only been here for a few weeks, so of course you don't know. The companion explained, "Originally, it was the location of a special unit directly under the Empire, it seems to be called 'City Guard', a total of fifty people, all of whom are strong men with advanced fighting spirit. ”
"How can that be?" asked the initial recruit, surprised.
At this time, the other training soldiers also stopped, most of the soldiers actually knew more or less about this matter, but they didn't have a complete understanding, it seemed that this soldier seemed to know very well, and everyone was very curious.
"Tell you, don't tell anyone. The soldier pretended to be hypocritical and said, "I also learned because my cousin is a general's own soldier, and there are guards in every city, and they belong to a secret army, and even the general can't command them, so they don't have to look at other people's faces to act." ”
Of course, the general he was referring to was the general who defended the city, the real Golden Empire general had the highest military power, although the city guard was nominally directly under the emperor, but how many times would the emperor command the soldiers of such a remote city.
"But just a year ago, a nobleman came to the Empire. The soldier said, "It's a very young master, but I don't know who it is, I heard that the background is amazing, and when he came to us, even the general accompanied him every day, for fear of upsetting him." Of course, my cousin also followed the general, and saw this noble young master with his own eyes, and there was a row of people kneeling at the gate of the city!"
"And then?" everyone was in high spirits, and it was interesting to listen to some gossip in the boring training in the barracks, and they didn't dare to cause trouble, but they were a little unaccustomed to the group of ruffians, and it was good to understand it.
"I don't know the specifics, and my cousin didn't say it in detail," the soldier was full of pride when he talked about his cousin, "It seems that the noble young master asked the city guards to do something, but was shirked, and the noble young master was annoyed and angry, and moved some hands and feet to transfer this group of city guards." ”
"No one bothered with it, and the room couldn't be empty, No. The soldier pointed to the house that was making a lot of noise, "So some people were sent to this house, and I heard that the scarface was sent by the noble young master, and no one dared to pay attention to him." We're in a small town, and we haven't seen any great people come here for months, and no one wants to offend these big people, so that's how it becomes. ”
"It's a nobleman again. ”
"That's how those nobles are, we little soldiers can't compare with others. ”
A group of soldiers began to discuss the nobility, but nothing good was enough.
"Oh, there's that kind of thing. Suddenly, just as a group of soldiers were talking passionately, a voice sounded behind them.
"What kind of person!" The soldier's face changed dramatically, don't look at him as if he didn't care when he talked about it, in fact, he knew very well that this kind of thing could not be talked about in the barracks, once someone heard about his future, it would be over!
Turning their heads, the soldiers were startled.
In front of them were two men dressed as nobles, and the one who had just spoken was dressed in a red robe, looking at them with a smile. The other one is dressed in a gray formal suit, with a straight military posture, which is standard enough to make them real soldiers die of shame. With eagle-like eyes, every soldier who has been glanced at has a feeling of wanting to shiver.
"Who are you, the barracks are heavy and the idle people can't wait to enter!" one of the soldiers asked, looking at the comer with an uncertain face, he and the others were still talking about the nobles just now, and two nobles dressed up came out here!
In fact, the soldiers' ideas are very simple, nobles are nobles, commoners are commoners, to put it simply, in the eyes of soldiers, all nobles are a raccoon dog, they are afraid that these two people will tell the noble young master, so they have absolutely no good fruit to eat!
"Oh, that's because we don't understand the rules, sorry. But what they didn't expect was that the red-robed nobleman seemed to be very apologetic and said, "We're just here to do something with the city guards, and when we see that you guys are having a good chat, we can come and listen, it's okay." ”
The soldiers looked at each other.
"Ahem, since the guards here are so interesting, Rachel, let's go check them out. Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the soldiers, the red-robed nobleman shrugged helplessly and said to the gray-clothed man behind him.
"Yes, Your Majesty" The man known as Rachel saw the red-robed nobleman's shaking index finger and changed his words, "Young Master." ”
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the red-robed nobleman leisurely walk towards the dilapidated house, and the gray-clothed man who had given them a great sense of oppression followed.
If the nobles blamed them, they would never speak so angrily, it seems that these two should be the kind of nobles who are not bad.
"Now that the nobles have passed, the hooligans will also stop. The recruit who spoke at the beginning said.
"Shut up, I'm not so lucky next time. An older veteran glared at him and sighed.
Everyone nodded and stopped chatting.
"Hey, I didn't notice just now, it seems that the hooligans didn't have any sound coming from before. The recruit suddenly remembered something and looked at the house in confusion and scratched his head at the thought.
"Rachel, open the door. The red-robed nobleman came to the front of the house, suddenly raised a smile, and said to the man in gray.
"Squeak. Rachel stepped forward and pushed the door open, and was greeted by a group of soldiers who fell to the ground and snorted, and a man in white who was looking at them coldly, his expression changed, and he stopped in front of the red-robed nobleman.
Because this man in white gave him a sense of danger, especially since his hand was still on the hilt of the sword.
"Have you been taught a lesson?" The red-robed nobleman glanced at the man in white, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly bypassed Rachel and said with a smile, "First time we met, my name is Cairodis. ”
Rachel looked at the red-robed nobleman in surprise, he knew very well that although his young master looked kind and smiling at everyone, but in fact, it was just his cultivation, and now he was hiding himself from a stranger?
He had been with Cairodis since he was a child, and it was clear that the man in white had never met them before.
"Zhao Zhong. Zhao Zhong took a deep look at Cairodis, let go of the hilt of his sword, nodded and walked out of the house.
"Young Master, what is this?" Rachel watched Zhao Zhong drift away, turned his head to look at Cairodis, only to see Cairodis's smile even bigger, and said to him softly.
"Seven Fragments of Bravery. "Zhao Zhong walked on the street, as mentioned before, the seven fragments of the brave can sense each other, and now Zhao Zhong, who has complete fragments in his body, feels the fragments in the body of the red-robed nobleman.
This feeling is very wonderful, but what makes Zhao Zhong more concerned is what Feng Yimeng once said to him in the fishing village.
That night, Feng Yimeng used the law of time to say something to Diana, Zhao Zhong and Uhtred, and what he said to Zhao Zhong was showing up step by step.
Zhao Zhong looked at the four golden rings in his hand, this is the certificate of entering the country!
I took one out and put it on my hand, only to see that the golden ring disappeared the moment I put it on.
This is a manifestation of the magic shackles that have been carved into the body.
After all, he had worked as a city guard, and he still knew a lot about the certificate of entry into the country, and after putting down those soldiers, he easily found it under the counter.
This will remove the mark of the barrier and you won't have to worry about the trouble of the hidden troops. However, they still have to go to other city guards to fill in their identities, and it is expected that the information filled in here will not be sent to the superiors, and once there is some small problem, it will be more troublesome.
Garrison of the City Guard.
"Young master, I've already checked, he was in the Yanyu period when he made a mistake a few years ago and was stripped of his noble title. Rachel pushed open the door and said to Cairodis, "It was the relationship that asked someone to take him into the army and avoid the enemy." It's been almost a year here, and the others are ruffians in the army, which they learned from the generals who defended the city in Xiacheng. ”
Cairodis nodded, looking at Scarface at his feet with interest, and the whole person was smashed into the floor: "It seems that it is just a coincidence, it should not be that person did it on purpose." Tsk, I'm also an undefeated demon martial arts double cultivator, why don't you open your eyes to provoke people who shouldn't be messed with. ”
"That guy really is," Rachel was still a little incredulous.
"Ah, the same as me. Cairodis clapped his hands, "I just don't know which piece it is." ”
"Let's go, there shouldn't be anything here, since it's not a purpose, then there's no need to care. Cairodis shook his head and walked out.
