As Humpty Dumpty, who had just been promoted to the rank of city gatekeeper, he originally thought that today would be a good day.

But after seeing the eyes of the thin man who appeared at the gate of the city in a separate crowd, he understood that today would either be the day when the stars were shining and he should make a fortune, or there would be a bloody disaster.

The original deputy city lord had only climbed to the position of city lord a week ago, and the newly imposed entry tax had just been implemented for three days, but the man in front of him, who was wrapped in a robe and covered half of his face, was obviously a wizard, and he was not a wizard of a very low level.

Therefore, Humpty Dumpty, who was dispatched to the city gate because of his flexible brain, reacted immediately, and after drinking the behavior of the rough benzene subordinates who wanted to collect the entrance tax from the man, he immediately led the man into the city gate and came to his own rest room at the city gate.

Humpty Dumpty, who quickly rushed into the room after apologizing, had never tidied up the room so quickly, and all the clutter and garbage piled up on the table and all over the floor were haphazardly stuffed under his bed and hidden, and before he wanted to leave, he had a flash of inspiration and put the tea set on the table that he didn't want to use, and poured water into the cup as if he were magical.

His face was already soaked with sweat, but after welcoming the thin man into the room with a smiling face, he still spoke carefully. "Your Excellency, what are you doing here in Pompeii?"

Looking through the slit window, Raymond could see the true state of the city's walls.

When I was outside the city, I thought it was made of huge stones, but in fact it was just a low wall of rocks and clay, so it is no wonder that you can see the strange collapses on the wall when you are high in the air.

Raymond, who sat in the only decent chair in the room, was a little hesitant about Humpty Dumpty's question, but the appearance of Pompeii finally made him speak bluntly. "Cross the front line and enter the Underworld!"

"Your Excellency. Do you need to wait in Pompeii for other people who are ready to cross the front line......?

The thick legs that bent down seemed to tremble, but Humpty Dumpty's answer was still crisp and direct, which made Raymond feel a little strange. "Companions, could it be said that there are many people who have crossed the front line and entered the underworld?"

"Yes, yes, it's normal for a noble wizard like you to go to the Underworld, but the villain feels that you haven't been to Pompeii before, and you're not particularly familiar with how to get to the Underworld, so ......"

The attitude of respectful posture is very low, this Humpty Dumpty's current performance makes Raymond a little puzzled, seeing that he said this, he closed his mouth, and his eyes flickered a little and looked a little philistine.

Raymond, who stared at the Humpty Dumpty man in amazement. After a moment, he couldn't help but laugh, and his voice was raised after tapping his fingers on the table. "Go on!"

A small piece of low-grade spirit stone suddenly appeared in Raymond's hand, and he gently tossed it up and then caught it, as if this was a habitual action.

But when he saw this, a touch of greed flashed in his eyes, but Humpty Dumpty followed him and suddenly shuddered, and his smooth round head hung even lower. The original joy in my heart was replaced by deep fear.

Oh, my God!

It turned out to be a wizard with a storage ring, and such an existence is something that even the city lord needs to look up to......

Humpty Dumpty, who had panic in his heart, didn't dare to have any other thoughts. Hurry up and tell everything about it.

Although the voice was irrepressibly trembling and hoarse. But he could only see Humpty Dumpty in front of his feet, and he didn't notice the wizard speak for a long time after he finished speaking, and he couldn't help but raise his head a little in trepidation.

"If you want to cross the front line and enter the underground plane to obtain privateer rights, you need to register and prepare in Pompeii first, and when the number of people going there reaches five or more, you can decide the time to cross, and you can also choose the location of the crossing after entering the front line. And if you are willing to pay a higher price, you can also be escorted by the sergeants, and reduce the risk after crossing the front line......"

Sorting out the situation carefully introduced by Humpty Dumpty, Raymond's first feeling was chaos. It's still messy!

But after he recalled the scene at the city gate, he felt that it was an extremely chaotic place.

Secretly shook his head, such a chaotic situation was a good thing for him, so Raymond raised his head and continued to ask. "What if there aren't enough people?"

Sensing that the thin man sitting in the chair was about to raise his head, Humpty Dumpty, who was quickly bowing down, immediately lowered his head, and after listening carefully to the question, he quickly answered. "Generally speaking, adults who are going to cross the front line will wait for a few days, because more than five teams are most suitable, but if you want to cross alone, the cost will be a little higher, so you will usually wait......"

"Then take me over and see how many people are ...... here right now."

Raymond, who stood up and walked to the door, was about to pass over the bent Humpty Dumpty, and as soon as his finger flicked the low-level spirit stone, it was flicked onto the palm that Humpty Dumpty had just raised.

In a little panic, he put the hedron in his pocket, and Humpty Dumpty, who walked out of the room after Raymond, became more and more respectful, and the downpour before was only a moment's work had stopped, and the large amount of rain only filled Pompeii with a thick mist, making the air more humid, but it also made the strange smell of the air more obvious.

Starting from the city gate, he set out along the wide but untidy streets towards the city lord's mansion, and along the way Raymond saw many corpses hanged under the eaves, as well as piles of corpses that had been piled up and half burned.

At this time, Raymond realized that the strange smell that filled the air was actually the stench formed by the cremation of these corpses, and if he wanted to fill the whole city with this smell, it seemed that there were quite a lot of corpses being burned.

Thinking so, Raymond unleashed his mental power, and soon found that in the alleys deep in the streets, some soldiers in half-body armor were still waving weapons, breaking into houses or fighting directly with some soldiers with weapons, but strangely enough, both sides tried their best not to make a sound, even those who fell to the ground and died.

Raymond, who walked slowly without touching the ground, was very puzzled by this phenomenon, so he asked the reason very casually......

"Your Excellency, the current city lord only ascended to the position of city lord a week ago, so there is still some chaos in Pompeii...... But rest assured, Pompeii will be neat and orderly the next time you come here,"

Although some of the answers were not answered, the information contained in them made Raymond probably understand why.

The change of lord was apparently achieved through bloody means, so there is a good reason for the search and killing that is now taking place in the city.

Raymond, who no longer spoke, was led forward by Humpty Dumpty, and on both sides of the wide street he walked through, an oil lamp would be hung every few tens of meters, although the brightness was not very high, but it dispelled the darkness, and people could feel a little warmth.

Ten minutes later, under the guidance of this Humpty Dumpty, Raymond saw the city lord's mansion.

The four-story City Lord's Mansion is made of huge bluestones, which should be regarded as a landmark building in the entire city, and there are a small number of dry plant stems on the mottled walls that have withstood the wind and rain, and on both sides of the steps at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, there are dozens of majestic soldiers wearing full body armor, and when he looks through the full-covered helmet, what Raymond sees is an alert and cold eye.

But before Raymond could get close to the Humpty Dumpty man, he sped up and ran, and after approaching a man who was clearly the leader, he quickly began to communicate.

And the rest of the sergeants stationed in front of the city lord's mansion also seemed to immediately notice Raymond's identity, one by one they took a half step back and bowed their heads slightly, and also carried the weapons in their hands behind them, as if to show something......
