Early the next morning, Ruian put on the light yellow swordsman uniform issued by the academy. It was not that Ruian was very willing to wear this swordsman uniform, but that Ruian really had no other clothes. In addition, Ruian wore the college emblem and
Level 1 Swordsman Badge, go to the school gate.
After arriving at the school gate, I found that several people were waiting, and the old man was also on the side, looking at several of their students smiling, looking shaky.
Ryan was thinking that when he saw the old man's appearance, he was not the only one who had the urge to beat him. Several other students, with their gnashing teeth, must also have the idea of beating the old man.
"Perhaps these people are the students who were assigned by the college? No wonder they have expressions of hatred and hatred?" Ruian thought to himself.
After a while, everyone arrived, and the old man led them to the city guard's station.
Upon arriving at the city guard's station, Ruian found that the station was very grand, surrounded by a blue wall several meters high, with a gate that could allow several carriages to enter side by side, and eight guards standing guard next to it.
After the old man explained his purpose to one of the guards, he led Ruian and his group in.
As soon as Ruian stepped into the door, he found that there was a very large square inside the wall. Directly in front of the door was a large palace-like house. I guess this was the office of the city guard. Behind the big house, there was a whole row of large and small squares.
There are different houses, and Ruian can't guess what they are used for.
Ruian couldn't help but sigh, no matter which world they are in, the yamen of official units are always extraordinary.
The old man led people to a room in the big house, spoke to a staff member inside, and then told Ruian and others to wait here. After obeying the staff's orders, he ran away.
This made everyone, including Ruian, gnash their teeth with hatred.
Next, the staff member took Ruian and others to another large room, told them to go in and wait, and then left.
Ryan and others walked into the room reluctantly.
As soon as he entered the room, Ruian found that there were already twenty or thirty students in the room. From the college badges worn by these people, we could tell that these people seemed to be from different colleges. But they got along very well, in twos and threes.
They were talking to each other. Especially next to several girls, everyone was surrounded by several boys.
Several people from Ruian's side walked over with smiles and greeted several of them. Only a few who were here for the first time like Ruian stood there at a loss.
After a while, Ruian figured it out. It turned out that these people were assigned by other colleges to perform labor tasks. Since some people had performed the tasks several times, they were familiar with each other. Only those who came here for the first time would be alone.
Stand there.
After a while, a group of people from another college arrived. Ruian counted silently, and there were a total of five people in this room. If ten people from one college came, then there were fifty people here.
At this moment, a man dressed as an officer came in outside the room. After entering, he walked straight in front of the students, clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said loudly: "Hello, everyone, City Guards Executive
Task."
Everyone, including Ruian, did not react and just listened. It seemed that many people were assigned to perform tasks and were not very happy.
"Students who have performed the mission before already know the situation, but in order to let students here for the first time understand clearly, I will tell you about the mission again."
"Our city guards can perform many kinds of tasks. Generally, they are patrolling, guarding, and guarding. There are also some administrative tasks, but it depends on whether someone is needed to take over."
"Some of these tasks are more difficult, and some are easier. In order to be fair when assigning tasks, we will write these tasks into small slips of paper and place them in a box. Wait for everyone to draw lots one by one to determine which tasks are drawn.
Everyone just goes to perform whatever task they want."
"After everyone knows what the mission is, then go to the nearby warehouse to collect weapons and clothing. As you know, our city guard has uniform uniforms, so when performing tasks, everyone must wear the same uniforms as us, just to show the difference.
, everyone will tie a red cloth strip on their arm."
"After everyone arrives at the mission location, someone will teach you how to perform the mission. Just follow it when the time comes."
…
The officer finished explaining for a while. Then he took out a small square wooden box from the corner of the room. There was a round hole on the small wooden box, which was only for one hand to put in. It seemed that it was used for drawing lots.
box.
The officer then took out a small stack of small slips of paper from his arms, put it into the lottery box, shook it a few times, and then motioned to the students in front to come forward and draw lots.
Soon everyone had drawn lots.
Ruian opened his little piece of paper and looked at it. The words "North City Gate Guard" were written on it.
"City gate guard, guard the city gate?" Ruian somewhat understood what this task was.
Then, the officer took everyone to the nearby warehouse to receive weapons and clothing.
The clothes are a bit ugly, at least Ruian thinks so. A set of dark blue long trousers, the shape is particularly tacky, but it is still acceptable. In addition, there is a very thin and light protective soft armor, and a
A leather hat with a pointed head.
After putting it on, Ruian doubted whether such thin soft armor could stop the slashing of an ordinary long sword. However, this is the standard uniform of the city guard and must be worn.
There is no uniformity in weapons. Among a large number of various swords, you can choose the one that suits you at will. Ruian naturally chooses an epee with a suitable weight. But when Ruian felt the quality of the epee with his hands, he felt that
With his experience as a blacksmith, he could easily tell that this sword was very ordinary.
At this time, Ruian could judge the combat effectiveness of the city guards from these clothes, weapons and equipment. No wonder they thought that the quality of the students was no worse than them and they could take over their jobs.
Next, according to different tasks, the officer sent several people to take all the students to their destinations.
Ruian discovered that there were four people drawn to guard the North City Gate together, including Ruian himself, but they were all from different colleges.
Along the way, after the four of them introduced themselves, they started talking and laughing, and even Ruian got involved.
Soon they arrived at the North City Gate. The staff who led the way introduced Ruian and others to the team leader in charge of guarding the North City Gate and left in a hurry.
Ruian had learned from previous conversations that the organization of the city guard was relatively simple. From high to low, they were captain, squadron leader, squad leader and soldiers. Among them, the highest officer in charge of guarding the North City Gate was a man in his thirties.
A middle-aged squad leader, followed by twenty or thirty soldiers.
The team leader was very polite when receiving Ruian and others. Obviously, people with a little experience in life would not easily offend promising students like Ruian.
The team leader asked Ming Ruian and others if they had ever served as city gate guards. It turned out that only two of them had done so before, and Ruian and another person were doing it for the first time.
So the team leader re-introduced the mission situation.
The city gate guard is very simple. There are three different jobs. One is to stand guard. You can stand directly at the city gate and observe people coming in and out. The purpose of this kind of guard job is to deter people with evil intentions.
.Of course, Ryan is very doubtful as to whether it has this effect.
The second type of job is patrolling, which is to patrol back and forth near the city gate. When necessary, check people's luggage and check whether they are carrying contraband. However, Ruian listened to the team leader and found that this patrol job seemed to be just walking back and forth, almost
There is no need for inspection, because the squad leader is afraid of offending some people who cannot afford to offend because of the inspection.
The third job is to maintain order. Sometimes, there are many people entering and exiting the city. At this time, it is necessary to maintain order, control the speed of people entering and exiting, and prevent crowding.
Of course, these three are routine tasks, and sometimes they will deal with some emergency situations temporarily. For example, according to the introduction of the team leader, sometimes the city guards will prevent some robbers from leaving, and then they need to fight.
There were even times when the city gates had to be closed to arrest people. Of course, this rarely happened.
After the introduction, the team leader was very reasonable and let Ruian and others choose their own jobs. Unsurprisingly, no one chose the job of standing guard, which was too boring. They all chose the job of patrolling or maintaining order.
Ryan chose patrol work.
