Chapter 627: Into the City

Once again, the vast river stretched between the open hills and the towering mountains, like a giant silver serpent winding across the vast land, reflecting the sparkle of its scales in the sunlight. There is even an open lake next to a large hill, and a faint mist is rising, and there is even more grandeur in the haze!

It is worthy of being the royal capital of the Northern Sençalo Empire!

On the east side of the lake is a large expanse of the city, and behind the thick long city wall are dense all kinds of tall buildings, or neat buildings or towering spires, or round domes or tightly combined shapes, or bright red tiles or bright blue roofs, or flawless white walls or beautiful bells, and so on. There are many forms, like beautiful and clean big toys standing in the distance, and there are gorgeous beautiful flags fluttering at the top, like exquisite notices exuding rich and brilliant brilliance.

It is worthy of being the royal capital of the Northern Sensaro Empire!

But ~~ It's a distant thing, but it's a slum around. On both sides of the neat road were dirty and broken straw huts, scattered broken basins, rotten wooden boxes, and there were poor people in tattered shirts with hungry faces or cunning eyes, and their black and yellow hair were all over the place, like a group of motley wild dogs that had lost their hair, gathering aimlessly, looking at passers-by in various postures, and not knowing what they were thinking. Anyway, standing in this garbage-like messy place makes people's hearts hairy.

Haidar couldn't help frowning again, and endured it and endured it, but he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally complained in a low voice: "Why is it that the king is like this outside the king's capital? It must be the king who has been deceived by traitors! Otherwise, what king would watch his land become like this, but ignore it?!"

Bonuuk snorted coldly at first, and said to himself impatiently: "I've read too many novels of Tu Baozi! I really think that the people on the top are stupid." Hmph~~ I really don't know who is the fool. Dong Hezi next to him also smiled faintly and did not speak.

The atmosphere was awkward all the way, and he continued to follow the believers of the god of cool officials and hurried towards the royal capital, and when he arrived under the vast and glorious city wall, he saw that on both sides of the striped and neat gate, there were ten thick stone golems about three people tall and as strong as war elephants, like ten dwarf manpower magnified many times, guarding the gate with great dignity and power!

At first glance, it was thought to be two rows of short, sturdy statues, placed at the gate of the magnificent city, about three stories high. But a closer look reveals that these powerful golems are accompanied by a multi-colored black iron spell shield on their left arm, and the delicate geometric texture ripples with protective spell luster such as 'High Force Field Shield' and 'Protective Element', and on their right hand is equipped with layers of acid flames and black mist-shrouded one-handed battle axes, like a giant warrior with a rough and thick body, with a stern face suppressing the surrounding qiē.

Grimm looked at it and immediately exclaimed, "Yo! they are still wearing armor, such beautiful white armor, and it seems that there are a lot of protective spells." Hehe~~ It's really rich, just pull out these ten golems, it's enough to kill thousands of rebels. Yo, there are a few Clay Golem ballistas over there, which is really imposing. ”

But what was even more imposing was the guards at the gate of the city with thick iron armor and red robes, because the golem would not stop people and ask for money, and these guards raised their sticks and struck him viciously on the chest to stop him, frowning sternly and scolding: "Hey! Hey! What are you trespassing?!

"Huh?" Grimm didn't open the high-grade force field armor ring on his body, and suddenly covered his aching chest and shouted: "What temporary residence deed? We are just outsiders who come to the royal capital for a few days~~" Halfway through the words, he was interrupted by the other party very impatiently: "If you don't have a temporary residence deed, go over there to handle it! One for each person, sign the contract and pay the money, and then come over! What do you see! Unconvinced?!" The unconvinced Grimm only turned around angrily and followed everyone to apply for the certificate.

Dozens of miles away, there is a three-story wide building that looks like a small fortress. On the right side of the majestic bronze tooth gate is the window for the certificate, and on the left is a notice wooden shelf, on which is hung a piece of red paper that has been deep for a long time, well~~ To be precise, it has faded into pink and white ugly old paper, and I don't know how many years it has not been changed. The mottled water marks and blurred words on it are like old and decrepit old women still trying their best to show off the last trace of 'charm': in order to effectively maintain public order in the royal capital, crack down on all kinds of criminal activities, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property; in order to put an end to all kinds of illegal transactions, maintain the social atmosphere in the royal capital, and create a positive and healthy living environment for the people; in order to improve the level of officials serving the public, beautify the appearance of the city, and build ~~~~

In short, for the sake of many, many important things for the benefit of the country and the people, so it is necessary to handle this 'temporary residence deed'! Of course, the cost of such a heavy certificate is also very expensive, and the young official at the entrance of the certificate said politely: "The registration fee is 10 gold coins, the badge purchase fee is 10 gold coins, the risk collateral is 10 gold coins, because the badge is a decorative item, there are 10 gold coins for consumption tax; in addition, 10 gold coins for the first management fee and 10 gold coins for social education ~~~"

Anyway, there are many, many '10 gold coins', and in the end they add up to 100 gold coins per person!

"Ah?!" Grimm was completely stunned with his fingers: It turns out ~~ I am a very unqualified acting lord~~ A real caravan is coming, and I only accept a few gold coins~~ When he was ashamed, Haidar, who had been very irritable next to him, finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "One hundred gold coins per person?!It's enough for an ordinary person to live for seven or eight years! It's enough for a family to save money in the countryside for ten years! It's so expensive to get a contract badge?!Is it not allowed for people who don't have money to enter the royal capital?"

The young man in the window said helplessly: "Don't be angry at me, this is the rule of the top, we will implement it according to the rules." This money is a must, otherwise you will be able to defeat the dozen or so enhanced golems at the door? ”

When Haidar was about to have a seizure again, he heard the voice of a middle-aged official from the window: "Who is asking such a boring question? Didn't you hear what the boss said? The royal capital is a place where the elite of the whole country gathers, and those who have no money and are not able to bear it should not come!" Immediately, a middle-aged bearded official appeared at the window, and he glared impatiently: "If you have any questions, go directly to the king's advisers, they issued the decrees, and they collect all the money! Don't always embarrass us who do things, and it's not that we need to collect money for certificates." There's someone waiting for you in the back. Don't delay everyone's business. ”

Dong Hezi said flatly: "Then let's do it, anyway, there is no shortage of money." Then, as soon as he handed over the money, he listened to the middle-aged official inside: "After three days, I will receive a temporary residence badge, and then I can enter the city with confidence." But remember to go to the registration office in the city or outside the city once a year to re-register. The cost is only twenty gold coins. ”

Haidar blushed again and his neck was about to attack, and Dong Hezi next to him was already laughing and said, "Twenty a year, doesn't that noble king harvest millions of gold coins every year?

When Grimm had handed each of the two clerks three gold coins, they finally relaxed, and said, "The king, his palace is not so good. They were all taken over from the old king, and they haven't been renovated for so many years. I don't know what we do with so much money every year, and we don't even increase our salaries. Then he muttered a few more words, probably slandering the king for being too picky.

Then, after completing all the formalities in thirty minutes, he took out six ordinary spell badges and said, "That's it." Remember, you have to wear it on your body at all times in the city! Otherwise, if the sheriff finds out that you don't have a badge, you will be dragged to jail immediately!"

After taking the badge and turning to leave, the middle-aged official in the window said to the young officer: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of things to do these days, and we have to borrow a few people from us. This is my letter of introduction, and you will be there tomorrow. The little official asked, "I was seconded to help them get it for most of the month last month, and now what is the matter! Why do they have something to do every day?" The middle-aged little official shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's for the king's new favorite concubine, I heard that there is going to be a celebration meeting or something." Anyway, they just have a lot of things, one after another."

When the young official muttered dissatisfiedly: "Every time it's either a banquet or a celebration, it's always some meaningless! Where are we still like officials now? It's just a miscellaneous job!Alas~~It's really boring~~" The middle-aged official next to him patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be so depressed." You're still young, do more things for them, find an opportunity to get closer to them, and cultivate some good impressions. In the future, you can climb up if you have the opportunity, and when the time comes, you will have money and power, and you will finally be rich and noble for a lifetime. Okay, don't be so discouraged, don't always think of yourself as some kind of official who maintains social order, let's put it bluntly, he is an attendant who does chores for others! They say that white is white, and when they say black, black is black. To say good is good, and to say bad is bad. Don't have any feelings, otherwise you don't do it, someone else will do it. Not only will you be useless, but you will also ruin your future. This is the way of the world, and it is not our control. Alas~~Only obedience~~"

And here, Haidar couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "It's all these corrupt people who make the whole country corrupt like this! Every hungry person who dies should settle an account on their heads! The king is also an old and faint king! He doesn't even know the absurd things around him! A typical king of a dead country!"

Grimm laughed, "Be careful if someone hears you and sues you." The two of them just now are just small officials who do things, is it worth your infinite promotion? People will immediately help you do things after receiving gold coins, and the three-day work will be done in an instant, which is enough to be trustworthy. What else do you want?"

Haidar almost jumped up and shouted: "What do you mean by 'what else do you want'? Don't take evil for a small reason! It is people like them who are all over the government and the opposition that lead to the corruption of state affairs! This kind of person should be severely punished! Only by thoroughly digging up the flesh of corruption can the country be restored to its vitality~~" The excited words were just halfway through, but Bonuuk next to him sneered coldly: "Ignorant rednecks!

"You!~~" Haidar was furious, his eyes were like red fire, bright red and terrifying, but he was anxiously pulled by Cindell, and he couldn't say anything more.
