Chapter 106 New Faces
The city lockdown was over, and Viscount Moruo asked the guards to open the city gate so that the leaders could enter and exit again. However, compared with the past, the inspection is much stricter now.
"Your name?"
"My name is Richard, I am a hunter from Black Creek Village. This time I went to the city to sell something."
At the city gate, several soldiers checked one by one. A hunter in a leather jacket carried the recently hunted venison into the city. He put a piece of peeled animal skin on his shoulder so that the venison would not mess up the clothes.
Looking at the red and white venison meat that had been marinated after rough steps, the guard poked it with his hands and tasted it briefly.
"It's very good. We are going to sell at any price. If possible, we will collect it directly." The guard also needs to spend the winter. Now he was thinking about the empty top of the fire room in his home, and he was also a little moved.
"Uh, this, I might want to sell the high point." The hunter hesitated a little.
Seeing the guard in front of him showing dissatisfaction, he had to explain a few words. "There are many monsters in the mountains recently. Some time ago, someone even heard the dragon roar. I also spent a lot of risks to catch the prey. In addition, there is still a long way to pickle it, so I hope to make more money."
"Okay, okay, don't do this for me. I can listen to you a hundred times a day, as if everyone is living a miserable life." The guard waved his hand a little annoyed, and then prepared to let the person go for a while.
Seeing that he would not let him enter the city, the hunter became worried and had to stand there, not knowing what to do.
In the early morning forest fog, a crisp sound of horse hooves came, and then several cavalrymen in dark red uniforms ran from far to near.
Looking at the brand new bright red military uniform and the short muskets carried around her waist, several guards suddenly took it seriously.
"hiss--"
The war horse was raised high, stopped not far from the city gate, and then walked slowly in small steps.
The officer on his tall horse held the reins in his hand and looked at the farmers, merchants, and a small number of hunters waiting to enter the city, and nodded from time to time.
"Hello, sir, who are you?" The captain of the guard stood carefully on the side of the road and asked.
Compared to them, these cavalrymen in military uniforms are the real military force of the empire. Moreover, after several uprisings in the southern border, the Regent has now used his army to firmly grasp the various nodes in the southern border.
"I am the lieutenant under the 71st Legion of the Empire, Wedwin." He took out his badge and appointment letter and showed it to the soldiers.
Then, in a respectful answer, the guards drove the people gathered in the city gate to both sides and gave way to the central road.
"Very good, you are loyal guards." The officer nodded and pointed at a hunter casually.
"I want the venison on his back and let him take it to my place later."
"Yes, sir." The guards below looked at each other and nodded.
"That's it." Then he led the dozen riders who were walking along the way to the city, leaving behind a crisp sound of horse hooves.
After the officer entered the city, the guards had to find the hunter again.
"Did you hear that? You are lucky. You are attracted by that adult. Why don't you hand over the meat quickly?"
"But...but...this is mine." With flesh on his back, the hunter took a few steps back, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Hmph, are you still dreaming? Come on?" As he said that, the captain of the guards gave a wink, and then a group of people surrounded the hunter and grabbed the meat in a fight.
Looking at the hunter who was lying on the ground after being beaten, the captain threw a few copper coins at will.
"Don't get out of here."
After saying that, he glanced coldly at the people watching around him, and these people avoided their eyes and lowered their heads to the other side. Among them, a young farmer clenched his fists.
He pressed his other hand on his shoulder and asked him to let go of his hand, then he said in a low voice.
"Don't be impulsive, go to the city first."
After a brief silence, the order at the city gate gradually returned to its previous lively state, as if nothing had happened just now.
After entering the city, two old and young walked on the street, and then they whispered what had happened just now.
"You are so impulsive, you must know that we have other tasks." This man is about 40-50 years old. Although he is wearing a coarse linen, he washes it cleanly and his knuckles are also very thick.
"I know, but if I treat such things indifferently, then why did I come here?" Although he has the strength of Sequence 4, there are still many places to learn in some experience and wisdom.
"I know your sincerity and enthusiasm, but Quillick, we have other tasks in it. You also hope to save the daughter of your senior from the clutches."
The young man named Quillick nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, Senior Sartre saved me when he was young. I remember this kindness and now I want to bring his orphans out of the nobles."
"That's right, so for this goal, we have to endure it for the time being."
"This is Longyi Province, a remote area in the southeast of the southern border. Our philosophy is rarely spread here, so we need to be more careful."
"Because these locals may not understand those great ideas, they are very conservative, so once we are exposed, it is difficult to stay in the local area, and Senior Sartre's daughter will never be able to escape from here again."
The uncle patiently guided the young man beside him. It was not until the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and the two stopped talking.
"What happened before? Why are so many people watching?" The middle-aged uncle grabbed a passerby and asked.
Although I was very impatient, looking at the strong right arm holding his arm, the local resident felt as if he was restricted by iron clamps, and he still couldn't move if he wanted to struggle.
"There is a local temporary execution ground in front of it. Viscount Mooro is letting a thief hang him." He said a few simple words and pointed to the end of the street. There was a high platform, and there was now a surrounding figure.
"Is that man going to hang himself just by stealing something?" Quirick's hands tightened again before slowly splitting apart.
"Yes, but what he stole was the most precious secret treasure of the Viscount family, and it is said that it is worth thousands of extraordinary gold coins."
Hearing this, the uncle slowly took his hand away and continued to move forward.
"Is it a shame to hang someone again recently?" As the two went deeper, more and more people were talking about this around.
"I guess he is also the crazy people of the revolutionary faction."
"It seems that not, unlike before, it should be a member of a certain organization. Yes, that's right, look at the sign in front of him."
On the wooden platform, a man covered in scars was pressed on the field, and two old wooden signs were hung around his neck.
Looking at the names of the two major organizations, a new round of discussion began.
"No, the neutral guarantee organization, 'Blind Man', would do this?"
"I don't know, maybe Viscount Mo Ruo offended others. You must know that he is famously stingy."
"I thought it was the revolutionary party from Zishan Province. Didn't it be like this a few days ago?"
"Maybe, this time it's different."
People talked about it, and then the executioner began to announce the time.
"Put his neck on a rope and start preparing."
Several soldiers began to act, and at this moment, a loud voice broke through the sky. It was a red light, and agile figure was riding on the speeding eagle.
As it approached, the crimson sword shadow was cut off and the hanging rope was cut off. A burgundy-haired woman stood on the platform, holding a scimitar like a scorpion hook, and carrying a fiery nightingale badge on her chest.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
As she finished speaking, several figures jumped up from the bottom of the stage and stood beside her. These people were wearing fire copper badges, and their bodies were emitting surging extraordinary magic.
