Early the next morning, Ryan put on the pale yellow swordsman suit issued by the academy, not that Ryan was willing to wear this swordsman suit, but that Ryan really didn't have any other clothes. In addition, Ryan wears the Upper Academy crest and the Rank 1 Swordsman badge and heads to the school gate.

After arriving at the school gate, I found that there were already several people waiting, and the old man was also on the side, looking at them and smiling as several students, looking like they were not flat.

Ryan was thinking, seeing the old man's appearance, he was not the only one who had the urge to beat him, and the other students, who looked like they were gritting their teeth, must also have the idea of beating the old man.

"Maybe these people are students who have been assigned by the academy, right? Is it any wonder that there is a look of deep hatred? Ryan said to himself.

After a while, when the number of people was full, the old man led them to the garrison of the city guard.

Upon arriving at the garrison of the city guards, Ryan found that the garrison was very imposing, surrounded by a blue fence several meters high, a gate for several carriages to enter side by side, and eight guards standing guard next to it.

After the old man explained his intention to one of the guards, he led Ryan's group inside.

As soon as Ryan stepped through the door, he found that inside the wall was a very large square, and in front of the door was a large palace-like house, which he thought was where the city guards worked. Behind the big house, there was a whole row of houses of various sizes, and Ryan couldn't guess what it would be used for.

Ryan couldn't help but sigh that no matter what world it is, the official unit's yamen is extraordinary.

The old man led people to a room in the big house, talked to a staff member inside, and then ordered Ryan and the others to wait here, and after obeying the staff's orders, he ran away.

This made everyone, including Ryan, grit their teeth with hatred.

Next, the staff member took Ryan and the others to another large room, ordered them to go in and wait, and left.

Ryan and the others reluctantly walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ryan found that there were already twenty or thirty student-looking people in the room, and from the emblems worn by these people, it was clear that these people seemed to be from different colleges. But they got along very well, and they were talking in twos and threes. Especially next to several girls, everyone is surrounded by several boys.

Several of Ryan's men smiled as they walked over and greeted several of them. Only a few, like Ryan's first-time visitors, stood there a little bewildered.

After a few moments, Ryan figured it out. It turned out that these people had been assigned by other academies to carry out labor duties, and since some of them had already performed several times, they were more familiar with each other. Only those who come for the first time will stand there alone.

A moment later, another group of people from another academy arrived. Ryan silently counted, in this room, there are a total of five people from the academy here. If there are ten people in one college, then there are fifty people here.

At this moment, a man dressed as an officer came in from outside the room, and after he entered the door, he walked straight to the front of the students, and then clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to the city guard on duty. ”

Everyone, including Ryan, didn't react, just listened. It seems that many people are not happy to be assigned to carry out tasks.

"The students who have already carried out the mission before already know the situation, but in order to let the first-time students understand clearly, I will talk about the situation of the mission."

"There are many kinds of tasks that our city guards can perform, generally patrolling, guarding, guarding, and some transactional tasks, but it depends on whether they need someone to replace them."

"Some of these tasks are a little harder, while others are a little easier. For the sake of fairness in assigning tasks, we will write down these tasks into small slips of paper and put them in a box, and wait for everyone to draw lots one by one, and everyone will carry out whatever tasks are drawn. ”

"After everyone knows what the task is, then go to the warehouse next to it to pick up the weapons and clothing. As you know, our city guards have uniform clothing, so when you perform tasks, you must also wear the same uniform as us, just to show the difference, you will tie a red cloth strip on your arm. ”

"When you arrive at the mission location, someone will come and teach you how to carry out the mission, and you can just do it."

……

The officer explained for a moment, and then he took out a small square wooden box from the corner of the room, which had a round hole for only one hand to enter, and it appeared to be a box for drawing lots.

The officer then took out a small stack of small slips of paper from his bosom, put them in the lottery box, shook them a few times, and then motioned for the students in front of him to come forward and draw lots.

Soon everyone drew lots.

Ryan opened his small note and looked at it, and there were several words written on it, "North City Gate Guard".

"The city gates are guarded, are they guarding the city gates?" Ryan knew a little bit about what this mission was about.

Then, the officer led everyone to the adjacent storeroom to receive weapons and clothing.

The costumes are a little ugly, at least that's what Ryan thinks. A whole set of dark blue trousers, the shape is particularly tacky, but it is still barely acceptable. In addition, there is a very thin and light protective soft armor, and a leather hat with a pointed head.

After putting it on, Ryan was skeptical that such a thin soft armor could block the slashing of an ordinary long sword. However, this is the standard uniform of the City Guard, and it must be worn.

There is no uniformity in terms of weapons, and among a large number of different swords, you can choose what suits you at will. Ryan naturally chose a heavy sword of the right weight. It's just that when Ryan touched the quality of the heavy sword with his hand, with his experience as a blacksmith, he could easily tell that this sword was very ordinary.

At this time, from these costumes and weapons, Ryan could judge the combat effectiveness of the city guards. No wonder they think that the quality of the students is no worse than theirs and can take their jobs.

Next, depending on the task, the officer sent several people to take all the students to their destination.

Ryan found that the number of people who were drawn to the North Gate guards together, including Ryan himself, was a total of four people, but they were all from different academies.

Along the way, after the four of them introduced themselves, they began to talk and laugh, and even Ryan blended in.

Soon arrived at the North City Gate, and after the staff who led the way introduced Ruian and the others to the team leader responsible for guarding the North City Gate, they left in a hurry.

Ryan had learned from the conversation that the formation of the city guard was also relatively simple, from high to low, they were captains, squadron leaders, squad leaders, and soldiers. Among them, the supreme commander in charge of guarding the north city gate was a middle-aged squad leader in his thirties, and below him were twenty or thirty soldiers.

When the team leader received Ryan and the others, he was very polite. Obviously, people with a little experience in life will not easily offend these promising students of Ryan.

The team leader asked Ming Ruian and the others if they had ever been city gate guards, and it turned out that only two of them had done it before, and it was the first time for Ruian and the other person to do it.

So the team leader reintroduced the situation of the mission.

The city gate guard is very simple, there are three different jobs, one is to stand guard, directly on the edge of the city gate, observe the people entering and leaving, this kind of standing guard, the purpose is to play the role of deterring people with bad intentions. Of course, whether there is such an effect, Ryan is skeptical.

The second type of work is patrolling, which is to patrol back and forth near the city gates, and if necessary, check the luggage of people entering and leaving to see if they are carrying contraband. However, Ryan listened to the squad leader, and this patrol work seemed to be just walking back and forth, and there was almost no need to check, because the squad leader was also afraid of offending some people who could not afford to offend because of the inspection.

The third type of work is to maintain order, and sometimes there are a lot of people entering and leaving the city, so it is necessary to maintain order, control the speed of people entering and leaving, and prevent crowding.

Of course, all three are routine tasks, and sometimes some emergencies are dealt with on an ad hoc basis. For example, according to the squad leader, sometimes the city guard guards will also prevent some robbers and robbers from leaving, and then it is necessary to fight, and sometimes even close the city gate to arrest. Of course, this is rarely the case.

After the introduction, the team leader very reasoned and let Ryan and the others choose their own jobs. Not surprisingly, no one chooses to stand guard, it's boring, it's all patrol or order-keeping work.

Ryan opted for patrol work.
