Chapter 497 Light Chapter 51.11-B3C2: City Gate Guards

·

You decide to conduct a fishing inspection as a villager in a pioneer village to see for yourself how the guards of the territory treat ordinary people and enforce the law.

Annette tightened her scarf with her hands, pretending to be slightly nervous, and walked up to the guard nervously, nodded and explained: "Brother guard, we are villagers in the pioneer village, and my husband hunted a wild boar a few days ago.

I grabbed a lot of money and brought me to the town to buy some things. I stayed at the hotel last night and am about to return to the village today."

Annette made all the preparations for the fishing inspection: a bribe of two gold coins, a gemstone ring that obviously did not match the identity and was suspected to be stolen goods, a bag of strange dust and pointed ears temporarily hidden by a scarf. A dizzying combination of punches

.

The guard frowned: "Who did you say you were just now?"

Annette noticed that the trouble had begun, so she held the gold coins she had prepared in her hand, and slowly came forward with a smile on her face, repeating: "We are really villagers from the pioneer village, brother guard, we have acquaintances in the town.

Here, can you..."

Before she finished speaking, the guard suddenly interrupted Annette: "Okay, do you really think I'm stupid?"

"I'm working for nothing, and I can't even tell my status? The way you two walk is completely different from the villagers. You are strolling with your waist straight. If you look up, you might be a baron and a wealthy businessman, but if you look down, you might be a mage scholar.

.I am a small soldier and don’t want to cause trouble, so don’t make things difficult for me as a errand. Think about it clearly and use a more reliable excuse."

Annette snorted and continued: "We are really villagers in a pioneer village. My husband's family used to be wealthy, but then he got into an accident and his family fell into decline. The scholar baron and so on are all in the past."

The guard's frown deepened, and he turned around and called the companion next to him. He whispered to his companion: "There is something wrong with these two people. Look at this woman's shoes. It is impossible to be so clean all the way from the pioneer village. You said so?"

It won’t be related to what happened in the warehouse this morning…”

"Suspicious. Keep an eye on them, I'll go get the captain..."

Another guard was about to leave, but you immediately stopped him. If you call the guard captain, the matter will end only after you prove your true identity.

The disguise failed. A leader who studies arcana and a professional maid who has studied etiquette for many years, the words and deeds are too different from the villagers. It may be difficult for others to detect, but a discerning person can easily see through.

Annette immediately changed her tune: "I'm sorry, brother, we are actually businessmen from the royal city. We didn't want to attract attention, so we pretended to be nearby villagers. We are by no means suspicious people. It is said that the number of refugees going south has increased day by day. We changed because we were afraid of being unsafe."

Pretend, you can treat the two elder brothers to drinks with these small coins, and you can search and interrogate them at will, so there is no need to make the matter bigger..." After that, he put two gold coins into the hands of the guards.

The two guards stood there, hesitated for a moment, and then their attitude softened a lot.

"I really told you earlier. Maze Town welcomes law-abiding businessmen. How about our town? The construction of our town is pretty good, right? How many days have you lived here? Have you gained anything?"

"We are not boasting. We have several special shops that are not even found in the royal city. Our mercenaries and guards are also very professional. Don't be afraid of spending money. Is it necessary to hire a few bodyguards to add to this misunderstanding? Haha

."

The two guards immediately became enthusiastic after receiving the money for the drinks, but they chatted and searched you at the same time, not forgetting their duties. To them, you and Annette are still suspicious people.

A ring was found, which was not suspicious for a wealthy businessman who wanted to travel in a low-key manner, but then a bag of dust was found. The guard immediately took two steps back holding the dust and sniffed it cautiously: "What is this?"

Annette had embarrassment written all over her face. She had planned to fish before, but then she gave up and now the fish suddenly bit the hook on its own. She hesitated for a moment whether to conduct the stress test as originally planned.

"This is what I started with..."

Annette said half of her words. Originally, the second half was supposed to be "Brought by Wangcheng. Big brother doesn't need to know what it is. It's very safe. Come, I still have 20 gold coins here to treat big brother to meat." The lines have not yet come out.

One of the guards took out a magic wand from the small bag on his waist, cast a level 1 identification technique on the dust, and muttered: "Sugar cane juice mixed with white sugar and dried in the sun?" Then, the two guards stared at each other.

Looking at Annette, her expression was not looking at the suspect, but as if she was thinking, are these two hiding their identities and hiding powdered sugar for fun or to cause trouble?

"...The treasure of the house from the kitchen, it can ward off evil and evil." Annette never expected that the city gate guard actually brought his own identification wand, and he actually had the ability to use it, which was outrageous.

Some people really dared to say it, and some people really dared to believe it. After hearing this, the eyes of the two guards changed and turned into ah, rich people are weird.

But at least the atmosphere has finally changed from suspicion to caution, and has relaxed a lot.

Annette responded smoothly to the lines she had prepared in advance, dispelling the last worries of the guards. It is common for rich businessmen in the royal city to learn some arcane arts, it is also common to be stingy with a few bodyguards' money, gemstone rings are common, and using powdered sugar as amulets is uncommon but weird.

Common. It is not difficult to see that the guards did not completely believe Annette's words, but they did not want to delve into it. The flow of people entering and leaving the territory every day was too large. The important thing is that no dangerous items were found after the body search. Everything else is easy to talk about.

The other guard left and continued to stand guard. Annette followed the backup plan and began to try to have a casual chat with the guard.

The guard was busy, but not everyone had to be interrogated, so he was not too busy to talk. He intuitively judged that you two were not ordinary people, and it was best not to offend easily, so he responded to Annette's questions as much as possible.

.

"It's quite rare for guards to use wands. The guards here are really well-funded."

"Others are fine. Our weapons and armor are average. But wands have suddenly become easier to buy recently. Are you interested in purchasing a few?" He should be referring to the mass production of wands with magic energy equipment.

.

"He can use a wand, isn't he a warrior?"

"Hey, of course. Most of the guards everywhere are warriors. Warriors rarely learn magic items-related expertise, but that guy just doesn't have the skills. There are a few people in the team who can use magic wands, which can completely guarantee that every shift has at least

There is one person. By the way, the scrolls in our market are also very popular, have you visited them?" There are always a few weird things with the wrong expertise, but now they can be used.

"Are you usually searched?"

"Can you come here for a search? There was an incident in the warehouse this morning. You two are talking nonsense again. If you don't search me, just stop standing guard. If you are only interested in large transactions, look, go in that direction and you will find the canal terminal. There is also

It's very lively. The lumberyard is at the foot of the mountain, and the area is quite safe. The quarry is at the foot of the mountain on the other side. There are farms and fruit trees on the other side." The destruction of the paintings in the warehouse must have been done by a master. He must have cast a teleportation spell to escape.

Well, he doesn't seriously suspect that you two are related to the warehouse.

"No mine?"

"No."

The words suddenly decreased, and then fell silent. Annette seemed to have asked about some sensitive topic, and the guards did not want to talk anymore. The reason is not difficult to guess. It is probably related to your order to hide the metallurgical production line, so the lower-level guards became tight-lipped.

Continuing in this direction, where do you plan to go next?

A, large farm

B, small farmland

C,orchard

D,pasture

E, lumberyard

F, quarry
