1015 Situation
As a short fat man who had just been promoted to the city gate officer, he thought today would be a good day.
But after seeing the eyes of the skinny man who separated from the crowd and appeared at the gate of the city, he knew that today was either a day of good luck and he should get rich, or a bloody disaster would usher in.
The original deputy city lord had only climbed up to the position of city lord a week ago, and the newly levied entry tax had just been implemented for three days, but the man in front of him, who was covered in robes and covered half of his face, was clearly a A wizard, and not a very low level wizard.
Therefore, the short fat man who was dispatched to the gate of the city because of his flexible mind immediately reacted. After stopping the behavior of the thick benzene subordinates who wanted to collect the city entrance tax from this man, he immediately led the man into the city. door, came to his own lounge at the gate of the city.
After apologizing, the short and fat man turned sideways and quickly rushed into the room. He had never tidied up the room so quickly before. The sundries and garbage piled up on the table and all over the floor were randomly stuffed into it. He hid it under the bed, and before he wanted to leave, he had a flash of inspiration and placed all the tea sets that he didn't want to use on the table, and poured water into the cup like a ghost.
Sweat all over his face had already soaked through the armor, but after welcoming the thin man into the room with a smiling face, he still opened his mouth cautiously. "My lord, what are you talking about coming to Pompeii?"
Looking through the door with gaps, Raymond could see the real situation of the city wall.
When I was outside the city before, I thought it was made of huge stones, but in fact it was just a low city wall made of random stones and clay. No wonder you can see those strange collapses on the city wall at high altitude.
Raymond, who was sitting on the only decent chair in the room, was a little hesitant about the short and fat man's question. But the sight of Pompeii finally made him speak out. "Cross the front line and enter the underground world!" [
"My lord, do you need to wait in Pompeii for other people who are going to cross the front line? Generally speaking, it is customary to go together..."
The fat legs of the bowed body seemed to be trembling, but the short and fat man's answer was still straightforward and direct, which made Lei Meng feel a little strange. "Companions? Could it be that there are many people who cross the front line and enter the underground world?"
"Yes, yes, it's normal for a noble wizard like you to go to the underground world, but the villain feels that you have never been to Pompeii before, and you are not particularly familiar with how to go to the underground world. So..."
The respectful attitude was very low. Lei Meng was a little puzzled by the behavior of this short and fat man. Seeing that he kept his mouth shut when he said this, his eyes flickered and he seemed a little philistine.
Raymond, who was staring at the short and fat man in amazement, couldn't help laughing after a while, tapped his fingers on the table and then raised his voice. "Go on!"
A small piece of low-level spirit stone suddenly appeared in Lei Meng's hand, he gently threw it up and caught it. It seems that this is a habitual action.
But seeing the greedy short fat man flashing in his eyes, he shivered suddenly, his round and smooth head lowered, and the original joy in his heart was overwhelmed by deep fear. replace.
God!
It turned out to be a wizard with a storage ring, such an existence that even the city lord needs to look up to...
Humpty Humpty, who was panicking in his heart, didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and quickly told everything about it.
Although the trembling and hoarseness of the voice can be suppressed, but the sight can only see the short and fat man in the area in front of his feet. After he finished speaking, he didn't notice that the wizard spoke for a long time, so he couldn't help but raised his head a little nervously.
"If you want to cross the front line and enter the underground plane to obtain privateering rights, you need to register and prepare in Pompeii first. When the number of people going to reach five or more, you can decide the time of crossing, and you can also choose to cross after entering the front line. position. And if you are willing to pay a higher price, you can also get escorted by sergeants. Reduce the risk of crossing the front line..."
After sorting out the situation carefully introduced by Humpty Humpty, Raymond's first impression was that it was chaotic, and then it was still chaotic!
But in the end, after recalling the scene at the gate of the city, he felt that this place turned out to be an extremely chaotic place.
Shaking his head secretly, such a chaotic situation is a good thing for him, so Raymond raised his head and continued to ask questions. "What if the number of people is not enough?" [
Sensing that the thin man sitting on the chair was about to raise his head, the short fat man who quickly lowered his head immediately lowered his head. After listening carefully to the question, he quickly answered. "Generally speaking, adults who are going to cross the front line will wait for a few days, because more than five teams are most suitable, but if you want to cross by yourself, the cost will be a little higher, so generally you will wait..."
"Then take me there and see how many people are here now..."
Lei Meng stood up and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to pass the stooped short fat man, the low-level spirit stone was placed on the palm that the short fat man had just raised with his finger.
Putting the spar into his pocket in a panic, the short fat man who walked out of the room behind Raymond became more respectful, but the downpour had stopped just a moment ago, and the large amount of rain only made Pompeii A thick water mist filled the air, making the air even more humid, but it made the weird smell in the air more obvious.
Starting from the gate of the city, he walked along the spacious but untidy streets towards the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, Raymond saw many hanged corpses under the eaves, as well as piles of half-burned corpses.
Only then did Lei Meng realize that the strange smell that filled the air was actually the stench formed after burning corpses. If he wanted to fill the whole city with this smell, then there seemed to be quite a lot of corpses being burned. .
Thinking of this, Raymond released his mental power, and soon he found that in the alleys deep in the street, some sergeants wearing half-body armor were still brandishing weapons, breaking into houses or directly fighting with some The soldiers with weapons fought, but the strange thing is that both sides tried their best not to make a sound, even those who fell to the ground and died.
Lei Meng, who walked slowly without touching his feet, was very puzzled by this phenomenon, so he asked the reason casually. .
"My lord, the current city lord only ascended to the position of city lord a week ago, so there is still some chaos in Pompeii...but don't worry, when you come here next time, Pompeii will definitely become clean and tidy. orderly,"
Although some of the answers were irrelevant to the question, the information contained in them made Raymond roughly understand the reason.
The change of the city lord was obviously achieved through bloody means, so there is a good reason for the searches and killings that are happening in the city now.
Raymond, who no longer spoke, was led forward by the short fat man. On both sides of the wide street he passed, an oil lamp was hung every tens of meters. Although the brightness was not very high, it dispelled the darkness, making people feel a little warmth.
Ten minutes later, under the guidance of the short fat man, Lei Meng saw the City Lord's Mansion.
The four-story city lord's mansion built of huge bluestones should be regarded as a landmark building in the entire city. There are a few dry plant stems on the mottled walls that have withstood the wind and rain. On both sides of the steps at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, But there were dozens of majestic sergeants in full-body armor stationed there. Looking through the full-face helmet, what Lei Meng saw was a kind of vigilant and cold eyes.
But before Raymond got close to the short fat man, he accelerated his speed and ran over. After approaching a man who was obviously the leader, he quickly started communicating.
And the rest of the sergeants stationed in front of the city lord's mansion also seemed to be aware of Lei Meng's identity immediately. They stepped back half a step and bowed their heads slightly to salute, and carried the weapons in their hands behind their backs, as if What does it mean... (to be continued.
