Chapter 368 Interrogation by the Bangcheng Army, Baron Bezos 【Subscription】
But Bosbon is not the private property of Baron Bezos.
Strictly speaking, it still belongs to the kingdom itself.
And Baron Bezos has his own property in Bosbon.
He holds a lot of wealth, and he is also a city consul recognized by the kingdom.
There are great rights and freedoms within Bosbon.
So there is no concept of fief in this world.
But from a certain point of view, those kingdom families do control a large number of cities.
Belonging to is an unnamed situation.
However, the state city and the inhabitants of the state city are not someone's private property according to the laws of the kingdom.
This is probably an experience summed up by the human kingdom in this world after thousands of years of development.
In this way, a solid body of interests can be formed without causing division of the kingdom.
Those aristocrats can use wealth and power to get everything they want.
And although those residents have independent human rights, in fact, it is just to make the food of the nobles not too ugly.
This is just a means of easing class contradictions.
The lords were different.
Loyalty is like a bond that holds together a strong tyranny.
In the early stage of development, authoritarian means can effectively solve many development shackles.
Of course, with the expansion of the territory, there are still many developments and reforms to be carried out.
The most crucial point, and also the most commonplace point, is to give full play to the subjective initiative of the people.
A system of equal distribution like eating a big pot of rice will only make the lords become tools.
When the population of the territory increases in the future, Zong Shen and his heroes will not be able to manage everyone's food, drink and Lhasa in detail.
Therefore, their subjective initiative must be stimulated.
Let everyone strive for a better life for themselves.
But no matter how reformed, the lord's position of power is always stable.
Loyalty can still play a supporting role even in making farmers freemen.
This is Zong Shen's main idea for the future development of the territory.
Standing on the edge of the central area, Zong Shen and the others stopped in place.
It is surrounded by a large road, like a road island in the middle of a circular road.
In the middle of the road, a striking red line was drawn.
The road is divided into two parts.
On the other part of the red line, there are many Bongcheng troops patrolling back and forth.
There were also light riders on prairie horses divided into small groups.
In the vicinity of the central area, a patrol is being carried out.
The surrounding quadruple defense tower matrix has also become much denser.
Just in the position where Zong Shen and the others are, there are more than a dozen quadruple defensive tower positions.
There are also two sturdy towers, standing nearby.
Each tower is more than 30 meters high, and there are more than a dozen Avalon light crossbowmen standing on it.
There are also five or six medium-sized crossbow machines, all of which are not equipped with crossbow bolts.
All were directed diagonally to the sky.
These crossbows are loaded only when entering wartime.
Zong Shen rode Bajie and led the team across the red line.
This can be regarded as poking a hornet's nest.
Almost immediately, it attracted the full attention of those Bangcheng troops patrolling nearby.
The same is true of the Bongcheng army that followed them behind them.
This is the most sensitive area in Bangcheng.
At the moment, the lightly-equipped crossbowmen on the towers aimed their heavy crossbows at Zong Shen and the others.
At the same time, the Bongcheng army came in front of them and surrounded them.
These state army squads are mainly composed of second-order Avalon light swordsmen.
Only the leader of the team is a third-order dragonborn swordsman.
From this, you can roughly know the strength of the Bangcheng army.
A dragonborn swordsman led by him walked slowly to Zong Shen.
He pulled out his sword and stopped in front of him. .
"Behind the red line is the administrative area of Bospan."
"According to Executive Order 0261 signed by Mr. Bezos."
"Any armed forces not directly under the kingdom's jurisdiction are prohibited from entering the administrative area without permission."
"Now please step back beyond the red line."
"If you refuse to leave, we will have the right to disarm you under state law."
The dragonborn swordsman said neither humble nor arrogant.
There are at least two or three hundred Bangcheng soldiers around here, as well as a defensive arrow tower matrix.
So he has plenty of confidence.
I saw that Zong Shen was still as calm as ever, and did not take a step back.
He stretched out his hand and gently digged it back, using the cover of his figure to take out a pocket watch and a pendant from his personal storage compartment.
Shaking these two things in front of the dragonborn swordsman.
"Please also report to me."
"I came here on purpose to return what Mr. Bezos once lost."
"Both of these items were found in the ruins of the ruins."
Hearing the words, the Dragonborn Swordsman reached out and took the pocket watch and pendant.
He was also not quite sure about the truth and falsehood of Zong Shen's words.
Because his qualifications are not enough.
But this is not without precedent.
Almost all the city army knew about Baron Bezos's youthful deeds.
Thirty years ago, when Baron Bezos was young, he was very keen on exploring ruins.
Many expeditions have been organized.
Often beaten by the monsters who occupy the ruins.
At that time, Baron Bezos had not given Bosbon.
But with the power of his father, he can easily mobilize the army of the city.
In those few years, the number of people who died in the various ruins of the Bangcheng army reached as many as several hundred.
Including Baron Bezos himself, there were times when he almost couldn't come back.
This is also the reason why he has never been able to be promoted to Viscount.
But then Baron Bezos was still very happy about exploring.
His mentality was like that of today's lords, and he was very interested in the relics left over ten thousand years ago.
This led to some of his belongings, which were basically lost in the process of distress.
A few years ago, a group of mercenaries brought back the lost family crest of Baron Bezos and won a reward.
After the dragonborn swordsman took the pendant and pocket watch, he checked it again and again.
After confirming that these two things are not tricky.
Only then did he look up at Zong Shen, and bowed to Zong Shen.
"Please wait a moment here."
"I'm going to report to the sheriff."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, quickly stopped a light cavalryman.
Handing the pendant and pocket watch into his hands, he said a few words at the same time.
Then the light cavalryman ran toward the entrance of the center area on horseback, clutching the pendant and pocket watch.
After more than 20 minutes, and it was almost early morning, the light cavalryman reappeared.
Behind him was a two-carriage upholstered.
The carriage followed the light cavalry out of the central area.
When the carriage appeared, all the nearby Bangcheng troops suddenly stopped.
Standing on the spot, saluting the carriage upright.
The same is true for the city army around Zong Shen.
The atmosphere immediately became a lot more serious.
Only Zong Shen and the soldiers under his command remained indifferent.
He will only give the Aboriginal people the necessary respect when necessary.
But it will never take the initiative to bow down to the aborigines.
Led by the light cavalry, the splendid two-carriage quickly drove to Zong Shen.
The coachman stopped the carriage and flexibly jumped from the coachman's seat.
Go to the right side of the carriage and open a pair of folding pedals.
He took the initiative to step forward and opened the carriage door, and then waited by the side.
A man in a nightgown stepped out of the carriage, stepped on the folded pedals, and stood on the ground with the help of the coachman.
The man wore a pair of glasses, and his short hair was all gray.
He is well maintained, his face is still firm and plump, and his skin is relatively smooth.
The beard on his face was cleanly shaved, and his eyes were full of energy.
Makes him look very energetic.
It's just the deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes that reveal his age.
If he and Evans are standing together, then the age gap between the two can be seen at a glance.
The identity of the visitor has been very clear, this one is the consul of Bosbon.
Unlucky adventurer, Baron Bezos!
He was holding the pocket watch and the pendant in his hand.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he broke free of the coachman's hand to support him.
Excited, he walked towards Zong Shen quickly.
When he came to Bajie, he raised the pocket watch and pendant in his hand and asked repeatedly.
"Where did you find this pocket watch and pendant?"
Zong Shen saw that Baron Bezos had walked up to him in person.
Then he turned over and got off the pig and took off his helmet.
Holding a battle helmet, he leaned over and saluted Baron Bezos.
"Hello, Lord Bezos."
"I found this pocket watch in a ruin not far from the Burial Ground."
"As for this pendant, it was in an abandoned mine."
"That mine is already occupied by the damn spider web monster."
Zong Shen said truthfully, there is nothing to hide.
When it comes to those places within Bosbon's jurisdiction, Baron Bezos is more familiar than he is.
After hearing Zong Shen say this, Baron Bezos's eyes burst with inexplicable expressions.
He stretched out his right hand and held Zong Shen's hand tightly.
"Yes, that's right there..."
"The city of the elves, the ruins of Azshara!"
"Are you also an explorer?"
"Anything else found in that abandoned mine?"
Zong Shen shook his hand, and Baron Bezos was obviously overexcited.
"I'm also an explorer."
"But recently I built a colony in that area."
"I didn't find anything else in the mine at the time."
"Those arachnids made a mess of everything."
"I found this pendant in a corner."
He said sternly.
In fact, he also got Baron Bezos' wallet in the mine.
Including the knighthood card when I fooled Quinnir before, I found it in my wallet.
Considering that the identity card had already been played by himself, Zong Shen decided to omit it directly.
As for other aspects, there are no flaws, equipment can be changed, and Bajie can be hidden.
His true face singed red in front of Quinnir and Sapphire.
As long as these two enemies don't get together, the ghost knows that Zong Shen is behind the scenes.
Baron Bezos nodded frequently as Zong Shen described the situation in the mine.
He nearly died in the mine that year.
Those damn arachnids swarmed the mines like waves.
The most terrifying one was the spider web monster lord.
Back then, Baron Bezos brought two squads of State Army troops with him.
After going deep into the mine, he was ambushed by a group of spider web monsters.
Only two teams of Bangcheng Army are not opponents of the spider web monster group at all.
Baron Bezos could only escape quickly with the help of a magic item called [Wind Spirit Feather].
His backpack was also left in the mine.
At that time, he had not yet been in charge of Bosang, and could not mobilize a large number of state troops.
It can only be stopped temporarily.
When he was in charge of Bangcheng, he also considered leading the army of Bangcheng to eliminate those spider web monsters.
But it was opposed by many state officers.
Not to mention the spider web monsters, everyone knows the area where Azshara once lived.
In addition to leaving a large number of relics, there are also many undead and monsters dormant.
Especially in the mines, in addition to crypt creatures such as spider web monsters, it is said that there are many blood-burning demons and undeads transformed by the rebel army wandering in the depths.
The war that year was too tragic, and many races and forces participated in it.
Taking this into account, as long as anyone who is not a blacksmith knows, that mine is not something that Bosbang's city army can deal with.
In particular, it is necessary to travel seven or eight hundred kilometers to crusade the mines, which is undoubtedly a very absurd behavior.
If there is such a leisurely feeling, they might as well deal with the group of shark lizards in the desert area.
At least get some prestige in the giant city.
At the same time, it can also solve a hidden danger for the villagers near the desert area.
And crusade mines not only has huge risks, but also has no clear benefits.
After so many years of cultivation and recuperation, the wealth and various resource reserves within the kingdom are already very abundant.
There is no need to develop so-called mines and ruins at all.
Therefore, the trip to the mines that year has always been a regret in Baron Bezos' heart.
This regret does not fade over time, but only grows stronger.
And that pendant has a special meaning, it is a relic left to him by his mother.
Compared with the pendant, the pocket watch means less to him.
The pocket watch was just his beloved personal item.
But today, Zong Shen actually sent him both things back.
For Baron Bezos, this is a great gift.
From a certain dialect, Zong Shen can also be regarded as making up for a regret that he has been thinking about for decades.
Baron Bezos gently opened the flip of the magic pendant with his thumb.
The projection of a dignified woman slowly appeared.
"Mother…"
Bezos looked at this projection and burst into tears.
At the same time, a favorability reminder also appeared in front of Zong Shen.
There is an update before 12 o'clock.
Misspelled.
