Chapter 108: Phoenix Lord
There is no distinction between the inner and outer walls of the Boerjia giant wall. The king's capital is located in the center of the giant wall, which is also the core area. The territories of the eight lords surround the king's capital. Each lord manages more than a dozen cities and hundreds of villages and towns. and countless villages.
Under the leadership of Piddle, Du Dian and others came to a remote village, which is close to the wilderness, and there are sharp fences outside the village to resist the wolves and beasts wandering in the wilderness.
There are some ordinary residents in the village. The young and strong go to the nearby towns to work for farmers or start small businesses. Those who stay in the village are old people and children. There is a blacksmith shop, a tavern and a grocery store in the village. The owner of the shop is still sleeping soundly at home during the day.
On the muddy gravel path in the middle of the village, several big roosters were pecking at the bugs between the mud cracks. The arrival of Du Dian and others immediately scared the few big cocks away. A woman with a wooden basin full of dirty clothes Coming out of the house on the side of the road, he was about to go to the nearby river to wash clothes. When he saw Du Dian and others walking in the village, he stopped and looked at them nervously.
Piddle's figure flickered and appeared in front of the village woman, startling the village woman and throwing the wooden basin in her hand.
Piddle picked up his palm and asked with a kind smile as much as possible: "Where is the village chief?"
It was rare for the village woman to see such a handsome young man, who was so close at hand, and she looked like an important person with extraordinary status. Her cheeks were hot, and she stammered nervously: "Village, the village chief is in the manor in front, you, you Do you have anything to do with the village chief?"
"Thank you." Piddle smiled slightly, his figure retracted like a teleportation, and respectfully said to Du Dian: "My lord, please follow me."
He led the way, walked to the end along the gravel and muddy path, and saw a manor surrounded by wooden fences. It was said to be a manor, but in fact it was a wooden house that looked a little stronger. The area surrounded by wooden fences was not large. , there was a dog and a cage of chickens in it. The dog was tied up. At this moment, when he felt the smell of a stranger, he immediately went mad and bared his teeth.
Piddle glared coldly, full of murderous intent, the black dog froze immediately, looked at him in horror, and shrank to the corner of the house, not daring to bark anymore.
At this time, the barking of the dog alarmed the people in the room, and an old man with gray hair came out with a cane, wearing a rough linen suit, with an old metal clip pinned to the breast pocket, looking a bit temperamental. When he saw Piddle standing outside, and Du Dian and the others behind him, he was startled, and his dim old eyes widened slightly. From the clothes and temperament alone, he could see that Du Dian and the others were extraordinary.
"Are you the village chief here?" Piddle didn't show the kindness he had shown to the village women before, but showed a condescending and arrogant attitude, and said: "We are members of the Red Lotus Legion. We need to collect some supplies, and you should prepare them immediately."
When the village chief heard the "Red Lotus Legion", his face turned pale with fright, his originally rickety body became even more rickety, and his wrinkled old face was uneasy, "Please, my lord, what supplies do you need? Barren, nothing, I'm afraid..."
"Stop talking nonsense, if you can't get it out, you're going to go to jail and die!" Piddle yelled and interrupted him.
The village chief trembled after being scolded by him, trembling and afraid to speak again.
"I'll give you half an hour to prepare thirty sets of clothes." Piddle said arrogantly.
The village chief was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Sir, we are all rough and rough clothes here, and there is no silk brocade at all. I can't even take out a set!"
Piddle frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then prepare thirty sets of linen clothes. You must be quick, and we will waste our time. Your old life can't afford it!"
Hearing this, the village chief felt a little relieved. Although the village is poor, thirty sets of linen clothes can still be scraped together.
"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go find it right away."
The village chief nodded and bowed his head, and after Piddle gave his permission, he immediately walked away with a cane,
When he passed by Du Dian and the others, the old man felt suffocated, as if passing by a group of ferocious beasts, and seemed to be torn apart at any time.
Not long after, the village head brought a strong man over. The strong man's wrists were rough and smelled like iron. He was a blacksmith in the village. In his hand was a sack full of linen clothes.
"Is the quantity correct?" Piddle asked with a frown as he opened the sack and took a look.
The village head quickly said: "Absolutely, I counted it myself." In order to prevent counting mistakes, he specially sent five more sets.
Piddle guessed that he didn't dare to play tricks, and looked to Du Di'an for instructions.
Du Dian nodded slightly, turned and left.
A confidant easily picked up the sack on the ground, followed behind the crowd, and the group left the village.
After watching Du Dian and others leave, the village chief and the blacksmith heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that their heads were covered with cold sweat. The humility on the village chief's face disappeared, and the small eyes in the narrow eye slits turned slightly, and asked the blacksmith: "How is it?" , Is it possible that they are counterfeit?"
The blacksmith smiled wryly, "Old Lu, you know, I used to be a scavenger and met many important people. In my opinion, these people are not only members of the Red Lotus Legion, but also may be the ace legion inside! Just , They are actually collecting supplies here, and they are still some tattered linen clothes, I really don’t know what they are for.”
The village head was startled, and immediately said seriously: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, just pretend it never happened, you know?"
Why don't the blacksmiths know the stakes, and it's not good for them to get involved with such a big man, "Old Lu, you'd better tell those women about this, they have all seen it, and they will definitely ask questions later. of."
"I'll warn them."
"I hope this matter will pass like this, and there will be no follow-up."
...
...
After leaving the village, Du Dian and others came to the wilderness, opened the sack, and poured out the clothes inside. The amount was a little, five more than what Piddle wanted. Du Dian immediately ordered everyone to put on linen clothes, leave the magic hunter and the baggage, and hand them over to Kaqi, let him find a remote place in the wilderness to hide, and guard by the way.
"You just wait here, and we will pick you up when we settle down." Du Dian said to Kaqi.
"No problem, you go, anyway, I'm not good at this kind of brain-making." Kaqi patted his bald head and said to Du Dian carelessly.
Du Dian set off with Noyce, Patton and others and followed Piddle. After they all changed into linen clothes, they no longer looked so conspicuous, but if you pay attention, you can still see the difference at a glance. After all, they are all He is a person who has been working on the edge of life and death for a long time, and his temperament is obviously different from that of ordinary people. All of them have straight waists and eyes like lightning, instead of the hunched shoulders and slumped shoulders of ordinary villagers.
"The plan this time is to sneak into the major forces first, understand the situation of Boerjia, and then follow the next step." Du Dian told Noyce and others his thoughts and plans while walking, "In the absence of new Before your instructions, your mission is to infiltrate the major forces, and you can get mixed up in it to the extent you can, just like you did in Sylvia back then."
Macon licked his lips and said excitedly: "Can we attack after we find out the situation?"
"It depends on the situation, and we will talk about it at that time. Don't think about starting a war. Maybe this time there won't be a battle. We are just passing through. We can stay here safely and have enough resources for us to use. Purpose." Du Dian said seriously.
Macon was a little disappointed, but soon realized that this was the safest way.
When Piddle heard Du Dian's words, his eyes shone slightly. From this point of view, Du Dian was not very sure about invading this huge wall, and he was not very interested. If he could last until Du Dian and others left quietly, he would is the safest.
Barton and other confidantes were also relieved. Although it was feasible to plan a sneak attack to nibble away at the abyss in the wall one by one and finally control the huge wall, the opponent is after all twenty abysses. It is too dangerous to rely on Du Dian alone for the existence that Pidell does not know. It is best to be able to live in peace.
Noyce followed Du Dian the longest, and he had the deepest thoughts on Du Dian. He was not happy when he heard Du Dian's words, but his heart sank. He knew that Du Dian's character was definitely not a pacifist. He thought of what Du Dian said before setting off from Sylvia. He has no heart and may die at any time. Obviously, even if Du Dian stormed the giant wall and concealed the news of this place as Pidell said, but after two days After three years, sooner or later the Kingdom of God will know about it.
At that time, without Du Dian's shelter, they will all suffer.
In addition, Du Dian let them infiltrate into various forces. Most of the move was worried that if he died suddenly, they would also be able to stay in this giant wall and continue to live, with a shelter!
Thinking of this, Noyce's nose was slightly sour, and he glanced at the people around him who were obviously relaxed, feeling bitter in his heart, probably only he knew Du Dian's good intentions, this indifferent and cruel boy was actually more innocent and serious than anyone else!
After the explanation, Du Dian asked Piddle to lead them to purchase a new identity.
Although Piddle had never done identity-changing before, it did not hinder his understanding of these things. He immediately took Du Dian and others to a nearby village and town, found the household registration management office, and under the threat of force and financial resources , and soon acquired three identities.
In fact, in this small village, he is fully capable of purchasing the identities of everyone, but Du Dian explained that only three of them will be purchased, and the rest will be purchased in other villages or towns to avoid all of them being concentrated in one place. After all, the authority of this village to purchase identities is limited to the nearby villages. If they all get mixed up in the high-level, if their backgrounds are found out, and they all appear in a few villages together, it will inevitably attract attention.
Du Dian used the three identities set out for himself, Noyce, and one of his confidantes. All three were ordinary residents of different villages and exempted from slavery.
After having an identity, it is much more convenient to do things. Du Dian rented a few hotels, let Barton and others rest, and then wandered around the town. However, Du Dian still has a clearer understanding of the Boerjia Shenbi, because in this small town, there are light bulbs in the homes of several big-looking houses!
There is a saying that goes well, where there is electricity, industry will not be too bad.
"It seems that this giant wall is basically in line with the empire." Du Dian couldn't help smiling. This was good news for him, and he just needed a lot of materials to make experimental instruments.
When he understood almost everything, Du Dian returned to the hotel and said to Noyes: "Go to the nearby big city and find the forces to join as soon as possible. I will give you a month. Be sure to get out of the way, and then take them to buy identities."
Noyce looked serious, nodded and said, "Yes, master."
Piddle was stunned, "My lord, what about me? I can just do such a small matter as buying an identity."
"You follow me." Du Dian said lightly.
Piddle was dumb, and couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Du Dian still couldn't completely relieve him. He lamented in his heart, and then felt that this may not be a bad thing. The less he did for Du Dian, the safer it was for him.
"You are responsible for taking care of them." Du Dian said to Noyce's confidant, the woman in black who had purchased her identity.
Lucy nodded respectfully, "Yes, master."
"Barton, you follow her and settle down in this town for the time being. When Noyce gets out of the way, I will give you identities. I will also go to nearby cities to try opportunities." Du Dian explained to Barton and others.
Barton, Aurora and others were a little bit reluctant, but they still nodded in agreement.
After arranging Barton and others, Du Dian took Piddle and left the town, hired a carriage, and went to a nearby big city. The money used along the way was all Piddle's. As the master of Lord Red Lotus, I have saved a lot of money over the years, and I have savings in the four major banks in Boerjiabi. If I take out a little bit of money, it is enough to feed hundreds of people.
When entering the city, although Pidell entered the city illegally, it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, but he still had the medal of the Red Lotus Legion. After showing the medal, he entered the city directly, and even the entry fee was waived.
Du Dian didn't stay in this city, changed to a hired carriage, and went to the next city.
Meeting a small town along the way, Du Dian asked Piddle to buy a new identity for himself. Two days later, in the continuous carriage, Du Dian and Piddle came to one of the eight lords, the main city where the Phoenix Lord lived.
It has to be said that the majesty of the main city is far beyond that of other ordinary cities. The height and shape of the city walls are all magnificent, especially the main city of the Phoenix Lord. The divine bird is just like the phoenix in mythology, it looks extremely magnificent and awe-inspiring.
