Early in the morning, when the sky was just getting slightly bright, a group of people were lining up under a tall and majestic city wall, waiting for the city guards to inspect and enter the city.
Kapuos City is a large border defense city in the west of the Principality of Puls. The city is built among the mountains, blocking the only road in and out of the Principality of Puos. Kapuos City is a barrier to the Principality of Puos in the west.
If other countries want to attack the Principality of Purs, they must first attack the city of Kapuos.
In recent hundreds of years, the city of Kapuos has not been attacked by anyone. This is not because the defense of Kapuos City is so strong, nor is it that no country has ever attacked Purs. It is just a few attacks.
The number of people is very small, and it has never happened that other countries have invaded with all their strength.
This is all due to the very good diplomatic strategy of the Principality of Purs. Among the many kingdoms and principalities in the southern part of the mainland, the Principality of Purs is a small country, but it can barely be regarded as a public country. They do not offend others easily, and they do not easily intervene in some countries.
In the midst of disputes, the Principality of Purs is an anomaly in the southern part of the continent, a place where wars are frequent.
When Ryan came to Kapuos City, he saw that the city was somewhat similar to the edge town on the edge of the Territory of Warcraft, with tall and thick city walls and countless garrisons. It could be seen that this city belonged to
A city built purely for military purposes. The only difference is that Kapuos City seems to have very strict checks on people entering and leaving the city.
But Ruian was already prepared. He was now dressed like a farm boy.
There is a pole on the shoulder, carrying two full loads of vegetables. People can tell at a glance that this is a poor farmer carrying vegetables to sell in the city. Because any farmer with a little bit of money will use a wheelbarrow.
, and even horse-drawn carriages to transport vegetables into the city. Only those who are so poor that they can’t even afford a wheelbarrow will sell vegetables on their own. However, there seem to be quite a few such poor people. The farmer who traveled with Ruian, Ruian
Then I saw a few people carrying burdens.
Ruian's outfit was bought nearby with a few silver coins from a farmer who was going to the city to sell vegetables. ~ Ruian, who had experience in his previous life, was quite capable of acting like a spy behind enemy lines.
Sample.
Afterwards, Ruian, like other farmers carrying vegetables, hurried all the way. When he arrived at the city gate, Ruian was panting and sweating. This image made the soldiers guarding the city barely check, just simply
After asking for his name, Ruian was let into the city.
Suddenly, Ruian was overjoyed and felt a little unbelievable: "Didn't I hear that the inspection in Kapuos City is very strict? Why did they let me in all at once? They were so negligent. If some people with bad intentions got in,
So what should we do?”
Ruian walked into the city while thinking about it. After a while, when he passed a notice board next to the city gate, he suddenly had an idea. Then Ruian remained calm, pretending to be curious, and approached the notice board to take a look.
During the time when Ryan was on the run, he had almost no contact with people and almost no entry into the city, so he never knew about the pursuit of him by the Principality of Purs. He hoped that the people in power would not
He was wanted, but after thinking about it, he knew that this was impossible. Now that he was about to leave, Ryan was suddenly curious and wanted to know whether he was wanted by the Principality of Purs.
As a result, as soon as Ruian approached the notice board, he immediately saw his wanted poster.
Suddenly, Ruian was startled, but he immediately calmed down. He looked back around and found that no one was paying attention to him, including the two city guards next to the notice board. This time, Ruian felt a little relieved.
Ruian took a closer look at the wanted poster and found that there was a portrait of himself drawn on it. The portrait was not very similar, at most it only looked like a sixty-seven-year-old. It was completely different from Ruian's current disguised image. It could be said to be a world of difference.
However, it is estimated that the person who painted it has never seen his own appearance, and only drew it based on the description of someone who has seen his own appearance.
"No wonder no one has noticed Ruian yet and is suspicious of Ruian? It turns out that the portrait on the wanted poster is not very similar. ~"
Ryan also discovered that the wanted poster also noted Ryan's name, some of his experiences in Skayas City, and his misdeeds of killing people in Purs City.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, this wanted order must have reached Skayas City and someone recognized my origin." Ruian thought to himself.
After reading his wanted notice, Ruian did not leave immediately. Instead, he read all the notices on the notice board one by one, and then slowly walked into the city while carrying vegetables.
After walking out for a while, Ruian found that no one was paying attention to him, so he sold two loads of vegetables to the vendor who bought them. Then he asked for directions to another place.
A city gate, the city gate facing other principalities. Once you leave that city gate, you are leaving the Principality of Purs.
Unexpectedly, when Ruian approached the city gate, he discovered from a distance that very few people came in and out of the city gate. Occasionally, only one or two caravans came in and out. No one came in or out alone. Moreover, the city guarding the city gate was not seen.
The number of guard soldiers was very large, reaching hundreds, and the inspections were very strict. Ryan even saw soldiers searching the bodies of some mercenary guards of the caravan.
"It seems that I thought wrong just now. When entering the city from the inside of the principality, the inspection is very loose, and it is easy to sneak in. But it is difficult to leave the city and leave the Principality of Purs. I guess I will not be able to get out alone.
" Ruian secretly thought in his heart.
Then Ruian didn't dare to stay near the city gate for too long. After observing it for a while, he left the city gate and returned to the city.
After a short period of observation, Ruian discovered that a person walking out of the city would definitely attract the attention of all the soldiers, who would then carefully examine Ruian. It would be very likely that Ruian would be recognized as a wanted criminal.
As for a person forcing his way out of the city, it is completely impossible. There are too many soldiers in the city guard. If he does this, he is simply looking for death.
So if you want to get out of the city, there seems to be only one way, and that is to become a mercenary, find a mercenary task of guarding the caravan out of the city, and escort the caravan out.
Next, after thinking about it, Ruian found a remote clothing store and bought a swordsman uniform commonly used by mercenaries. He needed to dress up like a mercenary so that he could go to the mercenary association to accept tasks.
Then Ruian went to the equipment store and weapons store and bought some armor, epee and other equipment. Now that he has more than a hundred gold coins and no longer worries about money, Ruian has become much more generous in buying things, and he is no longer worried about money.
Negotiate prices and buy high-quality weapons and equipment in no time.
After dressing up, Ruian quickly returned to his ordinary mercenary appearance.
However, Ryan was still a little worried about being recognized, so he bought a single-eyed eyepatch and put it on his left eye, pretending to be a one-eyed mercenary.
According to Ruian's experience, although the one-eyed mercenary will make people look twice, it only makes people look twice, and the people who look at it will not pay too much attention. Because mercenaries usually do life-saving tasks, it is inevitable
Some injuries lead to disabilities. In this world, there are some mercenaries who are disabled, but in order to survive, they have to do mercenary missions.
Employers do not dislike mercenaries with less serious disabilities, such as one-eyed mercenaries. On the contrary, such disabled mercenaries show that they have rich combat experience, which makes them more trustworthy by employers.
Ryan went to the Mercenary Association and wanted to take on a mission to leave the Principality of Purs. He was mentally prepared. According to usual practice, he might have to wait several days before he had the chance to set off.
Unexpectedly, just as Ruian approached the door of the Mercenary Association, he found several people who looked like employers standing at the door waiting.
Before Ruian could enter, these people came over and asked Ruian: "Brother, what is your swordsman level? Do you want to take on the escort mission?"
"Think." Ruian blurted out immediately, spinning
That is to say, he was a little strange, and then he understood the reason after asking in detail.
It turns out that after leaving the city gate, there is a hollow area between the Principality of Purs and another principality. This area is a no-no zone and requires two days of walking to pass. There are countless bandits hanging around here, robbing people.
Caravans coming and going. Therefore, all caravans have to hire many mercenaries to escort them. Generally speaking, a caravan hires dozens of mercenaries, otherwise it will be robbed by bandits and nothing will be left.
Because there are too many robbers, and the robbers are relatively strong, some mercenaries who are less powerful and do not have enough swordsman level dare not take on such extremely dangerous tasks. As a result, the caravan often cannot recruit enough mercenaries.
mercenaries. Therefore, those caravans who were eager to set off but could not hire enough mercenaries had to stand at the door of the mercenary association and pay high salaries to compete for mercenaries with high swordsman levels.
Next, at the request of the employers, Ruian showed off his strength as a level 4 swordsman and proved it to the employers. Afterwards, Ruian quickly chose a caravan that paid the most to join.
What makes Ruian strange is that the caravan doesn't seem to care who Ruian is, they only care about Ruian's level 4 swordsman level.
Thinking about it, a single mercenary like Ruian can't make any trouble in a mercenary team of dozens of people.
After waiting for another half day, the caravan finally gathered enough mercenaries to set off. Ruian, who had been following the caravan and guarding the caravan, was filled with worry. He was worried that he would be recognized by the soldiers when he left the city.
Soon, after leaving the caravan,
When the city was inspected, the results really surprised Ruian. After the owner of the caravan reported the name of the caravan, showed the caravan certificate and handed a money bag to the city guard chief, the city guard didn't even check.
, and let the caravan leave the city.
Ruian gave a false alarm. He wondered if this caravan was very powerful. Otherwise, the city guard would not give them such face.
At this point, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally leave the Principality of Purs.
From now on, Ryan no longer has to bear the burden of being a murderer and being hunted down.
