Chapter 158: Leaving Poles
Early in the morning, the sky had just dawned, and under a tall and majestic city wall, a group of people were honestly lining up, waiting for the city guards to check and enter the city.
The city of Kapuos, a frontier city in the western part of the Duchy of Pouls, was built between a series of mountains to choke the only way in and out of the Duchy of Pouls. The city of Capoos is a barrier to the Duchy of Pooles, and if the other countries in the west want to attack the Duchy of Pooles, they must first attack the city of Kapuos.
The city of Capoos has not been breached for hundreds of years. It's not that the defense of Capoos City is strong, and it's not that there has never been a country attacking Pooles, but the only few attacks have been very small, and there has never been a situation where other countries have attacked the city.
This is due to the very good diplomatic strategy of the Duchy of Pooles, among the many kingdoms and principalities in the south of the continent, although the Duchy of Pools is a small country, it is barely a public country, they do not easily offend people, and they do not easily intervene in some national disputes, so in the southern part of the continent, a place where wars are frequent, the Duchy of Pools is an outlier.
When Ryan arrived in Capoos, he saw that this city was somewhat similar to the edge town on the edge of the Beast Realm, with high and thick walls and countless garrisons, and it could be seen that this city was built purely for military purposes. The only difference is that the city of Capoos seems to be very strict with people entering and leaving the city.
But Ryan was ready, and saw that Ryan was now dressed as a farm boy.
With a flat pole on his shoulder, he carried two loads full of green vegetables, so that people could see at a glance that this was a poor farmer who carried vegetables into the city to sell. Because, as long as the farmer has a little money, he will use a wheelbarrow, or even a horse-drawn cart, to transport vegetables into the city. Only those who are so poor that they don't even have the money to buy a wheelbarrow will carry the burden of selling vegetables themselves. However, there seem to be a lot of such poor people, and Ryan saw a few farmers who were traveling with Ryan.
Ryan's outfit was bought by him from a farmer who was going into the city to sell vegetables for a few silver coins nearby. Ryan, who has experience in his previous life, is very good at this kind of behavior similar to that of a spy behind enemy lines.
Then, Ryan, like other farmers who were carrying vegetables, rushed all the way. When he reached the city gates, Ryan was panting and sweating. This image made the soldiers defending the city hardly check, just asked for their name, and let Ryan into the city.
Suddenly, Ryan was overjoyed and felt a little incredulous: "Didn't you hear that Kapuos City is very strictly inspected?" Why did you let me in all at once? They were so negligent. What if you get in with some ill-intentioned people? ”
Ryan walked into the city while thinking, and after a while, when he passed by a notice board next to the city gate, he suddenly had a thought. Then Ryan remained silent, pretending to be curious, and approached the notice board to take a look.
During the time that Ryan was on the run, he had almost no contact with people and almost no access to the city, so he never knew about the pursuit of him by the Duchy of Pooles. He had some hope that those in power would not
He is wanted, but just think about it and know it's impossible. Now that he is about to leave, Ryan is suddenly curious to find out if he is wanted by the Duchy of Poole.
As a result, as soon as Ryan approached the notice board, he saw his wanted notice for the first time.
Suddenly, Ryan was startled, but he immediately calmed down. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, including the two city guard soldiers next to the bulletin board. This time, Ryan was a little relieved.
Ryan took a closer look at the wanted warrant and found that there was a portrait of himself painted on it, and the portrait was not very similar, at most only six or seven images. It is completely different from Ryan's current image after disguise, and it can be said that it is a world of difference. However, it is estimated that the person who painted the painting did not see his own appearance, but only through the description of the person who had seen his appearance.
"Is it any wonder that no one has noticed Ryan and is suspicious of Ryan until now? It turns out that the portrait of the wanted warrant is not very similar. ”
Ryan also found that the wanted warrant also included Ryan's name, some experiences in Skayas City, and a bad record of killing people in Poole City.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, this wanted notice must have reached Skayas City, and someone recognized my origin." Rui Anxin said secretly.
After reading his wanted notice, Ryan didn't leave immediately, but read all the notices on the notice board one by one, and then slowly walked into the city with vegetables.
After a while, Ryan noticed that people were not paying attention to him, so he sold two loads of vegetables to the vendor who bought them. Then he asked for directions to another one
A city gate, the one facing the other principalities, out of that gate is to leave the Duchy of Pooles.
Unexpectedly, when Ryan approached the city gate, he found that there were few people entering and leaving the city gate, only one or two caravans occasionally entered and exited, and he did not see a single person entering and leaving. Moreover, the number of city guard soldiers guarding the city gate was very large, reaching hundreds, and the inspection was very strict, and even Ryan saw that the soldiers actually searched the mercenary guards of some caravans.
"It seems that I was wrong. Entering the city from the direction of the principality, the inspection is very loose, and it is easy to blend in. But it will be difficult to leave the Duchy of Pools out of the city, and I guess I will not be able to get out alone. Ryan said secretly in his heart.
Ryan then didn't dare to stay near the gate for too long, and after a little observation, he left the gate and went back to the city.
After a short period of observation, Ryan found that walking out of the city alone would definitely attract the attention of all the soldiers, so that Ryan would be carefully examined, and it was very likely that Ryan would be recognized as a wanted criminal at that time.
As for a person who forcibly broke out of the city, it was completely impossible, there were too many soldiers in the city guard, and if he did this, he would be looking for death.
So if you want to go out of the city, there seems to be only one way, and that is to be a mercenary again, find a mercenary mission to guard the caravan out of the city, and escort the caravan out.
Next, after thinking about it, Ryan found a remote clothing store and bought a swordsman costume commonly used by mercenaries to change into. He needs to dress up as a mercenary so that he can go to the Mercenary Guild to take on a mission.
Later, Ryan went to the equipment shop and weapon shop, and bought some armor, heavy swords and other equipment. Ryan, who now has more than a hundred gold coins and no longer worries about money, has become much more bold in buying things, and he does not bargain, and he buys high-quality weapons and equipment at once.
After some dressing, Ryan quickly reverted to his normal mercenary attire.
However, Ryan was still a little worried about being recognized, so he bought a one-eyecup patch and put it over his left eye, disguised as a one-eyed mercenary.
According to Ryan's experience, although the one-eyed mercenary will make people look twice, but just let people look at it twice, and the people who watch will not pay too much attention. Because the mercenaries usually do life-saving tasks, it is inevitable that some injuries will lead to disabilities. In this world, there are some mercenaries with disabilities, but in order to live, they have to come out to do mercenary tasks.
Employers do not dislike mercenaries who are not very disabled, such as one-eyed mercenaries, on the contrary, such disabled mercenaries say that they have rich combat experience and are more trusted by employers.
Ryan travels to the Mercenary Guild to take on a mission to leave the Duchy of Pools. He was mentally prepared, and according to the custom, he might have to wait a few days before he had the opportunity to go.
Unexpectedly, just as Ryan approached the gate of the Mercenary Association, he found several people who looked like employers standing at the door waiting.
Before Ryan could enter, the men leaned over and asked, "Brother, what is your swordsman level?" Would you like to take on an escort mission? ”
"Yes." Ryan immediately blurted out, spinning
That is, he was a little strange, and then he understood the reason after asking in detail.
It turned out that out of the city gate, there was a hollow zone between the Duchy of Pools and another principality, which belonged to the three-way zone, and it took two days to walk to pass. Countless robbers roamed the area, robbing caravans coming and going. Therefore, all the caravans had to ask a lot of mercenaries to escort them. Generally speaking, the caravan is a caravan with dozens of mercenaries, otherwise it will definitely be robbed by the robbers at all.
Because there are too many robbers, and the strength of the robbers is relatively strong, some mercenaries who are a little less powerful and do not have enough swordsman level do not dare to take on such a dangerous task, resulting in the caravan often not having enough mercenaries. As a result, those caravans that were in a hurry to set off but could not hire enough mercenaries had to stand at the door of the mercenary association and pay high salaries to compete for those mercenaries with high swordsman ranks.
Next, at the request of the employers, Ryan showed his strength as a level 4 swordsman and proved it to the employers. Ryan quickly chose a caravan with the most money to join.
To Ryan's surprise, the caravan didn't seem to care who Ryan was, they only cared about Ryan's level 4 swordsman's level.
Come to think of it, a single mercenary like Ryan can't make any waves in a team of dozens of mercenaries.
After waiting for another half a day, the caravan finally gathered enough mercenaries to set off. Ryan, who had been following the middle of the procession and guarding the caravan, was worried that he would be recognized by the soldiers when he left the city.
Soon, out in the caravan
When Cheng was examined, the results were so surprising to Ryan. I saw that the owner of the caravan reported the name of the caravan, and then showed the caravan certificate and stuffed a money bag to the chief of the city guard, but the city guard did not even check, and let the caravan go out of the city.
Ryan had a false alarm, and he wondered, is this caravan very strong? Otherwise, the City Guard would not have given them face like this.
At this point, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief that he could finally leave the Duchy of Pooles.
From then on, Ryan no longer had to bear the burden of being a murderer and being hunted down.
From then on, Ryan could fly as a bird. (To be continued)
