Chapter 459: Tubat Town
Things suddenly became tense, Alice hurriedly took the short sword in her hand, and Hurrington also set up the jiashi, ready to summon the ten chakras on his body to prepare for battle. Looking around at the thirty or forty soldiers and officers who looked very bad, and the long-horned demons with a dozen or twenty red fangs in their hands, they were both a little frightened. But the thought of having Bing Zhiyi around me made me feel much better.
Alice said, "You want to arrest us, what crime have we committed?"
The soldier said arrogantly: "I see that you look like outsiders, then I will let you know clearly what crime you have committed." The soldiers of our empire, we represent the power of the empire, and you have just insulted us, that is, the Goniz Empire. According to the laws of the Empire, insulting the Imperial regime is regarded as treason, and even if you are a foreigner, you will be imprisoned and severely punished!"
"What?" Alice was incredulous, "just because of this, we have broken your law and are going to be sentenced to a heavy sentence? ”
Hurrington scoffed, "They must be crazy, aren't they?"
"You still dare to scold us. The soldier waved: "Arrest them and join them in the army." ”
'Boom' with the sword out of the sheath, seeing that the soldiers were about to rush up one by one.
"Wait. Bing Zhiyi suddenly shouted and jumped off the reindeer: "I'm sorry, I think there may be a misunderstanding." He said: "We are just travelers passing through here, and we do not mean to insult you and your regime, they are my friends, and they have just said the wrong thing." You see, the three of us are all teenagers, and you are dignified imperial officers, I have always dreamed of being like you, I am very proud and have a great sense of honor, I think that a person of such status and power will not meet us in the same way. ”
"Boy, you think we're going to let you go, and even if I agree, the laws of our empire don't agree with it. The soldier said righteously and sternly.
Ice Evil walked up to Hurrington, took out a small bag from his duffel bag, and brought it to the soldier's officer, "I know that the Guinese Empire is rich in gold, and you must have seen a lot of gold. I have some magic crystals in this bag, not a lot, but half of our travel expenses. As Imperial officers, you must be very hard to escort prisoners to serve their sentences, and you should drink some wine and eat some meat to replenish your strength on the way. ”
Hurrington looked at it in amazement, Alice had never seen such a childish look like this.
The officer opened the small cloth bag and looked at it, the grade of the magic crystals in it was very poor, most of them were first-class crystals, and they were only worth seventy or eighty gold coins together, and he threw them away with disdain in his hand: "I have taken public funds for the office affairs of the empire, and I don't need this money." With that, he threw the small cloth bag on the ground.
"Damn, he's ......" Alice was about to get angry, but was stopped by Hurrington next to her.
Bing Zhixie was neither unhappy nor angry, and still said calmly: "I said wrong, these gold coins are for the soldiers to drink. He took out a finger-sized blue cat's eye from the pocket of his magic robe (1) and said, "This gem was given to us by a rich man when we performed in another country. We don't know how to keep gems, so it's useless to keep them, so we'll give them to you, Officer. ”
Ordinary tour groups, everywhere they go, will show some talents and earn travel expenses, which is a very common thing on the mainland.
Gueniz is rich in gold and also produces some low-grade gemstones such as obsidian, but other resources are relatively scarce. When the officer saw this blue opal, he liked it very much, but he felt that it was a little bad to take it directly, so he said with a straight face: "You use this gem, do you want to bribe us?"
"It's not a bribe. Bingzhi said evilly: "The three of us have not violated the laws of your country, and we have nothing to ask you, the officer, just to apologize to you for some unpleasantness caused before." ”
When the officer heard him say this, he immediately laughed: "Yes, you don't have anything to ask us for, of course it's not a bribe." In fact, of course, we imperial soldiers will not be as knowledgeable as you promising teenagers because of a little quarrel, let alone arrest people indiscriminately, just a joke with you to scare you. The soldiers returned and continued to escort the prisoners. ”
An adjutant picked up the money bag on the ground and scattered with the soldiers.
The officer said to them, "But I have to warn you that our Genesis Empire is law-oriented, and if you insult other government officials indiscriminately, they may not be as good at talking as I am. ”
"Xiexie your reminder, we remembered. "Bing Zhi Evil Dao.
The officer said, "Alright, you can go your way." ”
"Hey. Bing Zhixiao stopped him and said, "Let me ask you, is there a village ahead?"
The officer turned around and said, "Yes, there is a small town five kilometers ahead. ”
“xiexiexiexie。 Bing Zhixiao thanked him again and again.
Seeing these soldiers and prisoners leaving, Alice said unhappily: "Master, why are you like this? Why should you be afraid of them, treat them lowly, and just beat them to the ground?"
"Yes," said Herrington, "I have never experienced such a wretchedness. ”
Bing Zhiye said coldly: "Of course it is easy to defeat them, but do you want to cause trouble? You have also seen how domineering they are, don't forget that we are now in the territory of the Genesis Empire, and you want to be wanted by them all over the country and hunted for them before you leave?"
Alice said, "But they were so arrogant just now that they wanted to arrest us and put us in jail at every turn." If they were really caught, it would be too aggrieved. ”
Bingzhi said evilly: "Then don't provoke them, just leave this country smoothly." Let's go, there is a small town five kilometers ahead, and when we get there, we can rest for a day. ”
Hurrington opened the map and said, "Strange, why isn't this town on the map?"
Five kilometers is not a long journey, and it takes about ten minutes to ride a hexagonal reindeer.
"The town of Tubat. Hurrington looked at the sign at the head of the town: "It seems to be named after the Tubat volcano not far ahead." ”
Alice said: "It's not on the map, it may be a newly built town, you see that the buildings in the town are quite new." ”
"Let's see if there are any stables for hexagonal reindeer, and then find a place to live." ”
"Hmm. Alice said happily, "I can finally sleep peacefully tonight, and I really miss the big bed at Uncle Caesar's." ”
(Note: (1), opal: opal, that is, "cat's eye", "cat's eye", "cat essence". Cat's eye, also known as oriental cat's eye, is a rare and valuable variety in jewelry. Strictly speaking, "cat's eye" is not the name of a gemstone, but an optical phenomenon that appears on some gemstones. That is, when a hemispherical gemstone is illuminated with strong light, a narrow and bright reflection appears on the surface, which is called "cat's eye flash" or "cat's eye light". )
