Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Forbidden Zone
It was a calm morning at the entrance of the Blood Wolf Gang in Lane 36, and from time to time there were lower-level gangs patrolling by, and elite gangs were stationed at sentry positions one after another, vigilant against outsiders who tried to sneak into the hall.
Ye Wen looked up at the sky, and saw that the time was about the same, the sky gradually brightened completely, the sun slowly moved up, and the sun sprinkled from the sky to the earth.
At this time, the armor exclusion zone should have been opened.
He pushed the door out, the sun fell on his eyes, a little stinging, but the warm feeling on his body was really good, sighed in his heart, and strode out.
"Brother Ye, are you going out? Here, help me buy a string of rock sugar gourds and come back." ”
Just as Ye Wen was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Xiao Qian, who was holding the little white fox, walked over, rolled her eyes, and handed over a few strings of copper coins with a smile.
Ye Wen was stunned, only then did he react, his face couldn't help twitching a few times, and he muttered a little in his heart, did Xiaoqian bring damage to this greedy fox, but he could only shrug his shoulders and smile, since it was a request made by his lovely sister, no matter how capricious the request was, it was acceptable, let alone such a trivial matter.
"Have you eaten too many snacks lately?" Ye Wen asked curiously.
"How can there be ......" Xiao Qian's cheeks were a little embarrassed, and she defended hesitantly: "It's all because of the training you arranged, Brother Ye, the physical consumption is so great, and the appetite has naturally improved." ”
"Really?"
Ye Wen looked at Xiao Qian's weak reaction, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, the amount of food he ate for a while was really amazing, but the rock sugar gourd was just a gluttonous mouth.
"Okay, okay, promise to buy it back, but let me get down to business first. ”
After speaking, Ye Wen stretched out his finger and flicked Xiaoqian's forehead, laughed in the little girl's bitter protest, and then directly pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards the end of Lane 36.
The Bingjia Forbidden Area was close to the center of the city, and the journey was far longer than expected, and Ye Wen walked for a full hour before reaching his destination.
The first thing that catches your eye is a black gate, which is the first checkpoint of the forbidden area of the armor, although Chiba Castle is heavily guarded, but it is open to the outside world, and at the same time that commerce and trade are developed and trade is unimpeded, people from three religions and nine streams continue to pour in.
This is one of the military bases, and although it is semi-public and semi-official, there are certain restrictions on who can enter and exit, and there are a large number of guards and workshop guards stationed there, and there are many checkpoints set up.
In front of the black gate, there were more than a dozen guards lined up on both sides, with indifferent and serious expressions, holding long knives in their hands, wearing leather armor, and their eyes were as sharp as blades.
As soon as someone approaches tentatively, they will look at them with cold eyes and say coldly, "Don't approach idlers." ”
Ye Wen was no exception, even if he showed the voucher sent by Meng Fei, he was blocked in front of the door and could not enter, but he had one more sentence than ordinary people: "Just wait here." ”
Ye Wen stood aside and waited for the people to be introduced, while looking at these elites in the army, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, it was really elite, judging from the undisguised fluctuations of Dao power, all of them were at the level of the double realm, with the same specification of sword talismans and armor talismans, the fierce killing aura came out of the body.
Anyone here, put on the rivers and lakes to fight, is definitely a master-level figure, fortunately, this kind of situation that affects the pattern of power in the rivers and lakes, will not happen one day, because once you join the army, you will be bound by military regulations, unless you are on a mission, you are not allowed to leave your post without authorization.
This kind of restraint is not a mode of settling accounts after the autumn, but a real restraint effect, the army has military spirit, and the official position has official spirit, once in its position, luck is added, which is conducive to cultivation at the same time, it is also a kind of shackle, if it violates the rules, depending on the degree of response, there will be different degrees of backlash.
In addition to being amazed and rejoicing, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, even a monk of this level can only be a small doorman here, although Meng Fei and Wu Zhong are not bad, they are the leaders of the first realm, but compared to these doormen, they are still a lot inferior.
Do they really have a way to open the door?
A voice directly vetoed Ye Wen's gains and losses: "Oh, you are Ye Wen, come here, what are you doing stupidly?"
Ye Wen followed the prestige, and saw an old man walking over, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, covered in a pungent smell of wine, yawning, and his clothes and demeanor were not decent.
When the guards on both sides saw this person, their brows furrowed slightly at the same time, and they quickly disappeared, continuing to hold their posts without squinting.
"I'm Ye Wen, I've seen the old gentleman. Ye Wen was slightly stunned, but instantly reacted again, walked over, and saluted politely.
According to the information of the transmission note, the person who received the introduction was a talisman refiner with no low qualifications, the so-called talisman refiner was naturally a person who specialized in refining talismans, in terms of status, the people in this profession were far above the civilians, and even the people in the army were polite and polite, Ye Wen was not qualified to play music in front of this person.
Fortunately, Ye Wen, who was born in poverty, in addition to being a little clumsy in etiquette, has always put himself very low in terms of mentality, but now he is asking for others, and his expression is very respectful.
"Looking at you like this, it's nothing special, I hope Meng Fei didn't see the wrong person......
The old man shook his head, then squinted his eyes, looked Ye Wen up and down, and said: "You can call me Meng Lao, Meng Lao is okay, don't talk nonsense, just follow me now, I have limited time, and I will have to do business later, and there is no extra time to waste on a little hairy man like you." ”
After finishing speaking, Meng Lao turned around and left.
This is ugly, but there is a kind of straightforward pleasure, Ye Wen blinked, but he didn't hate it very much, but felt that it was neat and tidy, and immediately followed Meng Lao respectfully and walked towards the forbidden area of the armor.
The guards on both sides got out of the way, and this time there were no horizontal swords to stop them.
The forbidden areas under the indirect jurisdiction of the military have always been the object of attention of major gangs, which have both interests and strategic considerations to take advantage of the opportunity to approach the military.
Just like the territorial division of civil gangs, there is also an intricate division of forces in the forbidden area, and there is a severing relationship with gangs, however, due to the neutral nature of the military, the contradictions between various gangs have not evolved to the point of being out of control under the majesty of the army.
Ye Wen couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and glanced around, there were many workshops along the road, the strange fragrance was permeated, the guards patrolled, and from time to time he saw people in black robes, with white cloth rolls under his armpits, walking quickly across the avenue, and the chirping of some demon beasts came from afar.
Suddenly, my mind moved, if I could be an apprentice here, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than being a hall master, not only to avoid gang strife, but also to enjoy watching all kinds of talismans.
Under the jurisdiction of the government, the circulation of talismans in the western part of the city is limited, and even if you accumulate meritorious deeds and store silver, you may not be able to buy suitable talismans.
Killing the enemy and plundering is a common method, but with Ye Wen's temperament, he is a little disliked, it is okay to fight back when he is attacked, but if it is a matter of seeking money and killing people, he can't do it.
However, the thought only flashed through my mind.
Although the spiritual space has the possibility of refining talismans, even if the attempt is successful, unless he wants to be caught by the military to study, he will not expose this secret if he dies, and there is no talisman refining technique that can be put on the table, and it is naturally delusional to enter as a talisman refiner.
Become an army guard?
Even if you are confident that you can pass the army's assessment, the time is not right, and the triennial assessment has only passed half a year.
For a person like Brother Meng, it is also very difficult to become a guard in a armor workshop, and the conditions for selection are not so much the ability requirements as the use of connections, which Brother Meng made clear early on.
