Chapter 133 Tazmi

Imperial calendar year 1026, early autumn.

On the main road outside the imperial capital, a caravan was on its way.

Business in various places has not been good in recent years. After the Blood Moon Incident, the empire clearly felt like it was declining.

Taxes are heavy and costs are high. Most caravans can no longer maintain elite escorts. If they want to pass through areas with dense dangerous species, they can only rely on local county soldiers or major legions, which increases costs in disguise.

As early as decades ago, every spring, the emperor would personally go hunting in the wild forests and gardens to convey the martial culture to the outside world. However, since His Majesty came to the throne, he has never left the palace, let alone hunting.

The people privately call the present His Majesty the Little Emperor, mocking him for embarrassing himself in such a big position.

As the caravan marched, several private guards sat on the carriage and drank. One of them wiped his mouth and couldn't help complaining: "Captain, the steward told me during the last handover that this year's salary will be reduced. Now You have to pay tolls wherever you go, and if this continues, eating will be a problem!"

"Yes."

"Oh, I forgot about the taste of white bread."

"Why don't we go sell some salt too?"

The private guards immediately started talking after hearing this.

The middle-aged man sitting in the front raised his head, his face full of vicissitudes of life, shook his head and said: "The leader of the caravan is kind to us. He agreed to serve for three years, so there is no way to regret it. You can go, I Will stay."

Everyone was silent for a while, and the young guard who had just complained sneered: "What are you talking about? It will be difficult for us to have enough food without you. We can't follow the Second Army to the North. I heard that the prince beyond the wall is like this." I will return with 40 horses to go south. After joining the army, I might just be a stray arrow..."

Before he finished speaking, an earth dragon emerged from the ground. Its tall figure almost surpassed the trees on both sides. The young guard was bitten into the mouth by the earth dragon and died instantly.

"Be on guard!!" The middle-aged man ignored his sadness and immediately roared. The first-level dangerous species was enough to bury them all here, even the earth dragons who were not good at fighting.

At this moment, a figure floated past like the wind, sword light flashed, and except for the middle-aged captain, it was almost difficult for others to see clearly what was happening. The earth dragon was hit several times and fell directly to the ground and died.

The middle-aged captain stared blankly at the figure who was steadily falling to the ground. He looked like a handsome brown-haired boy, but the sword skill he used just now was the standard nine consecutive slashes in the army. It was only used by elite veterans who had experienced many battles. out.

He is 15 years old at most, but he has already entered the knight level.

"He actually killed the earth dragon alone, so strong."

The guards escaped death and couldn't help cheering for the young man.

Tazmi turned his head. This was the first time he faced so many compliments. He couldn't help but like it. He said happily: "This is not a matter of course. As long as you leave it to me, defeating the dangerous species will be easy. By the way, my name is Tazmi." Zimi, this name will be resounding throughout the imperial capital in the future.”

The middle-aged captain stepped forward, the amazement in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the downright seriousness: "The Imperial City is not a good place as you think. Although it is very lively, there are many guys who are more cruel than earth dragons."

"Are there dangerous species on the streets?" Tazmi almost thought she heard wrong.

"It's a human. To be more precise, it's a monster in human skin." The middle-aged man said.

The guards looked at the captain. It was taboo to talk to each other, but the young man saved them just now, so everyone could understand.

"Then just kill the leader of the monsters." Tazmi said nonchalantly.

The middle-aged man's eyes were glazed over, and he said with difficulty: "Don't ever have such thoughts, it's up to you..."

"team leader!!"

One of the guards interrupted with a horrified look on his face. The others stepped forward and tried their best to pull the captain back, saying bad things about those two people outside. Everyone didn't want to die. Who knows if the young man's mouth is not strong enough. One report today, and tomorrow the empire will assassinate him. The troops will break in.

Tazmi didn't know why, and the last guard turned around and said, "The Imperial Capital is really not a good place. Listen to our captain. With your strength, you can definitely make a difference when you return there." Tazmi picked up her bag and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but the matter has come to this, there is no reason to back down, my companions are still waiting for me."

The middle-aged captain stretched out his hand to stop him, but the young man had already run away.

Half an hour later, Tazmi paid the city entry tax and walked into the imperial capital. She was instantly attracted by the bustling scene. The streets here were even wider than the entire village. Even the simplest residence was far more expensive than the village chief's house. gorgeous.

People were coming and going, and he had never seen so many people before. He felt that if he swung his sword, a large number of them might die.

"Bah, bah, bah, how could I have such an idea?"

Tazmi took steps forward, but her eyes could not help but look to both sides of the street. Local specialties from the entire empire could be seen here. A dazzling array of products were displayed at will. The aroma of food from roadside restaurants was full and strong, and it was better than tasteless barbecue. Much stronger.

"Uncle, how do I get to the registration office?"

"there."

Facing the inquiry, the old man pushing the wooden cart pointed aside casually.

"Thank you."

Half an hour later, Tazmi returned to the same place, and this time he somewhat believed what the guards said.

"Auntie, how do I get to the registration office? This little money is not a sign of respect." Tazmihan smiled and handed over a few copper coins. He had saved a lot of money by hunting dangerous species on the way.

The middle-aged woman glanced sideways, nodded her chin at the copper coin, waited for a few seconds, and then saw that the other party didn't understand, so she said directly: "Not enough, who are you fooling with the price of a piece of black bread."

Tazmi smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to push a silver coin over.

"Go east, cross two streets, and go straight north."

"There are still many good people in the Imperial Capital."

"Ha." The middle-aged woman shook her head and smiled. The young man looked like a foreigner at first sight.

……

Half a day passed, and the sky became darker.

"Ah."

Tazmi was lying on the street corner, shaking his head and smiling, his face full of bitterness. Now that all the money he had was defrauded, he could only live on the street corner. When he turned around, he could see the notice of the wanted members of the Night Raid.

"Damn Imperial Capital people!"

The aunt did not lie to him, but the military registration office the other party pointed to was already full. It took him a few more efforts to successfully reach another registration office. As a result, the other party only asked people to start as soldiers, but the retired military officer in the village He had clearly said that with his knight-level strength, he would start at least as a captain, and before becoming a school officer, he would be promoted very quickly.

After walking out of the registration office, Tazmi met a scantily clad blond woman. For the sake of her fertility, he gave her a lot of trust. As a result, he was defrauded of all his money and almost even lost his meal bill. No way to tie it.

Just when Tazmi was passive, a carriage stopped from the side and the curtain opened, revealing a pretty face.

"Do you need help?" the noble girl asked with a smile.

"I have no money." Tazmi said gloomily.

"If you have money, you won't sleep in a place like this. Come with me, my name is Arya." The noble girl still smiled softly and gently stretched out her hand towards the boy.
