Yuri threw a set of clothes to Ash, which was a light gray imperial uniform, but the epaulettes, collar and armbands on it were removed, and there were only two circles of light silver embroidery thread at the cuffs.

"Is this... the uniform of the imperial military police?" Ashes knew what the two circles of silver embroidered threads at the cuff meant. The imperial military police were an extremely special existence in the imperial military system. Although they were in the sequence of regular troops, they were not directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters. The imperial military police held a lot of privileges, and even officers were rarely willing to provoke these guys who did not have to obey the military headquarters' orders.

In the past, the imperial gendarmerie was directly controlled by the Imperial Parliament and was the most powerful violent institution in the hands of the Imperial Parliament... But after the second arrival, Reinhardt was destroyed, the previous imperial emperor passed away, and the parliament was also destroyed. Although the new emperor ascended the throne in Linfeng Castle, he did not reorganize the parliament. The command power of this gendarmerie naturally fell into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor and became His Majesty's personal soldier.

Not without objection, many surviving ministers, nobles and even lords asked the young new emperor to abolish the dictatorship and reorganize the parliament. However, it took only two years for the new emperor to erase all the opposition and take back a large piece of land that was once enfeoffed by his ancestors.

This includes the "Iron Dragon Corps" that accounts for nearly one-tenth of the imperial territory. As for the powerful Iron Dragon Duke, he was sent to the guillotine for "treason".

When his uncle was executed, the new emperor, who was only 35 years old, stood at the top of the tall tower, staring expressionlessly at the sharp blade chopped down. With the sound of flesh and bones breaking, the once noble head rolled to the ground.

"Yes, our department has no name, so it often takes the name of the military police." Yuri shrugged, and was wearing a gray uniform of the same style on him.

The uniform fits very well, obviously tailor-made to the size of the ashes. In addition to the uniform, there is also a three-finger-wide ground dragon leather belt with a short sword and a musket hanging on it.

Yuri opened the door, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly shone in from outside, which made Ashes feel "splitting" in his heart - he clearly remembered that the dark season had just begun before he was unconscious, but now it is tomorrow!

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Four months, when we found you, you were almost dancing a tap dance at the door of hell. Next to you, we also found the bodies of more than a dozen wild beasts... It took half a month for the best doctor in the Empire to repair your body, and until today, you woke up from a coma." Yuri said.

Ashes subconsciously looked down at his arm, which was densely filled with pinholes left by nutrient solution. Even the intrabody intestinal needles that can be used multiple times need to be replaced every few days. The pinholes left by this needle often take a long time to completely disappear.

...

Valenci is a small town with a population of more than 20,000. Of these 20,000 people, almost half are migrant populations. On the southwest side of the Second Quarantine is a land without a border, and on this land that is about one-third of the imperial territory, there are a large number of ancient battlefields and ruins. These existences attract a large number of adventurers and mercenaries. People carrying firearms and swords can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys of Valenci.

Yuri walked through several streets with the ashes, and walked into a narrow alley, pushing open a wooden door wrapped in iron.

This was the side door of a bar. Ashes had just walked in, the smell of inferior alcohol and inferior tobacco in the air was drilling into his nose, and the noisy music made his eardrum hurt.

Although it was tomorrow, the light in the bar was very dim. The beautiful dancer with very little fabric on her body twisted her seductive waist hard on the table. The waiter in a white shirt and black vest was holding a plate and a wine bottle and quickly shuttled between the oak round tables.

Most of the guests in the bar were mercenaries, their weapons were just leaning against the table or simply putting them on the table. They were talking loudly about various topics, and more than once, Ash even heard them mention the plague fog in the second quarantine area.

There is no news of the empire blocking the black fog, but for the outside world, the emergence of the plague fog is not something that is shocking. In addition, the black fog area is located in an isolation area that is prohibited by ordinary people, so the epidemic is difficult to spread. At best, this matter can only become the content of drunken talks.

In addition to the drinking mercenaries, there was also a team of imperial soldiers sitting in the corner of the bar. However, Ash noticed a detail. The cups in front of the soldiers were basically filled with water or non-alcoholic juice. Compared with the noisy mercenaries, these soldiers seemed very quiet. They silently dealt with the food on the table without looking squinted. The lieutenant in the lead was slowly cutting the bacon in the plate with a knife and fork, with a very serious expression.

This team of soldiers is not on vacation, but is in the process of duty. According to the regulations of the Imperial Team, drinking is strictly prohibited during the imperial duty, and there is no such regulation during the rest period.

Yuri didn't say hello to anyone, and he walked straight to the bar and gently tapped the counter.

"Did you bring that kid? This doesn't meet the rules." The bartender glanced at the ashes standing not far away and said to the ashes in a low voice.

"We are the regulations in Valenci..." Yuri said, "Besides, he is the designated person by Senior Sister Soya."

"Okay." The bartender pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, reached into a hidden groove below the bar, and twisted a mechanism hidden in it.

Meanwhile, an undetectable sound of mechanical cladding came from the underground of the bar.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to drink next time." Yuri smiled and patted the bartender on the shoulder.

"Come on... When did you give me money for drinking here?" The bartender slapped Yuri's hand off with some anger.

"You guy, are you talking to your senior?" Yuri raised an eyebrow. However, the bartender no longer paid attention to him and began to organize the bottle on the shelf behind him.

"Follow me." Yuri turned around, waved to Ash, then walked around the bar and walked into a small door.

Ashes immediately followed.
