wandering fairy

The broad fork of the river again runs between open hills and towering mountains.The giant silver snake, which is slightly stretched across the vast land, reflects the crystal luster of the scales in the sunlight.Even a large open lake is formed beside a large hill.A faint mist is rising, and it is even more majestic in the hazy!

It is indeed the capital of the North Sensalo Empire!

On the east side of the great lake is a large and broad city. Behind the thick and long city walls are densely packed tall buildings of all kinds, which may look like neat mansions or towering spires, or have round domes or combined buildings. The compact shape, or the gorgeous red tiles or the bright blue roof, or the flawless white wall or the big clock with beautiful patterns, are so colorful and various in shape, and they are like beautiful and clean big toys standing in the distance. There are also beautiful and beautiful flags flying, like exquisite notices exuding the brilliance of wealth.

It is indeed the capital of the North Sensalo Empire!

But that was far away, surrounded by a slum.

On both sides of the tidy road are dirty shabby huts, broken washbasins scattered and discarded, rotten wooden boxes, and poor people in rags with yellow faces or sly eyes. The variegated wild dogs gathered around aimlessly, and looked at passers-by in various postures, not knowing what they were thinking.Anyway, standing in this messy place like a rubbish dump, it makes people feel chills.

Haidar couldn't help frowning again.He endured and endured, but couldn't bear it anymore, and finally complained in a low voice: "Why is it like this outside the king's capital? The king must have been deceived by traitors! Otherwise, what king would watch his country become like this. Do not ask?!"

Ponuk snorted coldly at first, and then murmured to himself impatiently: "I've seen too many bumpkins! I really think that the people on the top are idiots. Hehe, I really don't know who is the neighbor next to the idiots." The son also smiled faintly, but did not speak.

The atmosphere was embarrassing all the way, and he continued to rush to the capital with the believers of the God of Cruel Officials. When he arrived under the magnificent and splendid city wall, he saw ten roughly three-person tall men as strong as war elephants on both sides of the neatly striped gate. The horizontal stone golems, like ten dwarf men magnified many times, are guarding the gate thickly and with incomparable coercion!

At first glance, I thought it was two rows of stubby and powerful statues, placed on the facade of the magnificent city gate about three stories high.But if you take a closer look, you can see that the left arms of these powerful golems are accompanied by multi-colored black iron spell shields with aura, and the exquisite geometric texture is full of "advanced force field shield protection elements." The one-handed ax with layers of flames and black mist was like a giant warrior with a thick and thick body, suppressing everything around him with a stern face.

Grimm took a look, and immediately shouted: "Hey! They are still wearing armor, such a beautiful white armor, and it seems that there are quite a lot of protective spells. Hehe, they are really rich, just pull these ten golems out , is enough to kill thousands of rebels. Hey! There are a few clay golem catapults over there, so majestic!

But what is more imposing are the guards with thick iron armor and bright red battle robes at the gate of the city, because golems will not stop people to ask for money, and these guards raised their sticks and beat him on the chest viciously to stop him. Frowning sternly, he scolded: "Hey! Hey! What are you intruding on?! Come out and check with the temporary residence deed!"

"Ah?" Grimm didn't open the high-grade force field armor ring on his body, and immediately yelled, clutching his painful chest: "What temporary residence permit? We are just foreigners coming to visit the capital for a few days. Halfway through the conversation The other party interrupted impatiently: "If you don't have a temporary residence deed, go over there and apply for it!One per person, sign the contract and pay the money before coming back!What to see!Not convinced? ! Unconvinced, Aunt Green could only turn around angrily and follow the crowd to apply for a certificate.

After walking dozens of units, there is a three-story wide building with a neat shape, like a small fortress.On the right side of the majestic copper-toothed gate is the window for issuing certificates.On the left is a notice wooden frame, on which is hung a piece of red paper that has aged for a long time. To be precise, it has faded into an ugly old paper that has faded into pink and white, and it has not been replaced for a few years.The mottled water marks and blurred text on it are like an old woman who is still trying to show off the last trace of "glamour", in order to effectively maintain the law and order in the capital, crack down on various criminal activities, and ensure that the people Safety of life and property; in order to put an end to all kinds of illegal transactions, maintain the social atmosphere in the capital, and create a positive and healthy living environment for the people; in order to manage the city more effectively, improve the level of officials serving the public, beautify the appearance of the city, and jointly build

In short, for many, many major events that benefit the country and the people.So do this. "Temporary residence deed! Of course, the fee required for such an important document is also expensive. The young official at the certificate office said politely: "The registration fee is [-] gold coins; the badge purchase fee is [-] gold coins; the risk mortgage is [-] gold coins. gold coins; since badges are decorative items.So there is a consumption tax of one gold coin; another management fee of one gold coin, and a social education fee of one gold coin.”

In short, there are many, many "old gold coins" that add up to one hundred gold coins per person in the end!

"Ah?!" Grimm, pointing his fingers, was completely stunned: So I am a very unqualified agent leader. The caravan is here, and I

Chuan "put out a few gold coins, Zishan was feeling ashamed. Hai Shixiao, who had been very irritable next to him, finally stood up and said: "One hundred gold coins per person? !It is enough for an ordinary person to live for seven or eight years!Putting it in the country is enough for a family to live frugally for ten years!Is it so expensive to get a contract badge? !So those who have no money are not allowed to enter the capital? "

The young Xiaojia in the window said helplessly: "Don't be angry at me, this is the regulation from above, we just follow the rules. The money must be paid, otherwise you can defeat the ten or so enhanced demons at the door. Is it possible? Hurry up and decide whether to do it or not."

When Haidar was about to do it again, he heard the voice of a middle-aged official coming from the window: "Who is asking such silly questions again? Didn't you hear the above? The capital is the place where the elites of the country gather. Those who have no money should not come!" Immediately, a middle-aged bearded official appeared in the window, staring impatiently and said: "If you have any questions, you can directly ask the king's advisers. They issued the decree and all the money They accepted it! Don’t always make it difficult for those of us who handle affairs, and it’s not that we want to collect money for certificates. There are still people waiting behind. Don’t delay everyone’s business.”

Dong Linzi said flatly: "Let's do it. Anyway, there is no shortage of money." Then he just handed over the money.Then I heard the middle-aged official inside say: "After three days, you can get the temporary residence badge, and then you can go to the city with peace of mind. But remember to go to the registration office in the city or outside the city to re-apply every year. The cost is only two Ten gold coins."

Haidar blushed again and got ready to act.Dong Neighbor next to him laughed and said, "Twenty per year? Doesn't the noble king earn millions of gold coins every year? I wonder how beautiful his palace is?" After speaking, he gave Grimm a wink.

After Grimm handed over three gold coins to each of the two clerks, the two finally relaxed and said, "The king? His palace is not very good either. They all took over from the old king. It hasn’t been renovated for so many years. I don’t know what to do with so much money every year, and we don’t even increase our salary.” Then he grumbled a few more words, probably slandering the king for being too stingy.

Then he finished all the procedures within 10 minutes, took out six spell badges of ordinary workmanship and said: "That's it. Remember, you must wear it on your body anytime and anywhere in the city! Otherwise, you will be found out by the sheriff. Without a badge, Lixuan will be taken to jail!"

After taking the badge and turning to leave, the middle-aged clerk in the window said to the young clerk: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of things to do these days. We need to borrow a few people from us. This is the introduction I wrote. Xin, you will come to them tomorrow." The little official asked: "Last month, I was seconded to help them for more than half a month, what's the matter now! Why do they have something to do every day?" The middle-aged little official sent Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "Maybe it's for the king's new favorite concubine. I heard that there will be some kind of celebration meeting. Anyway, they have a lot of things to do, one after another."

When the young official murmured in dissatisfaction: "Every time it's a banquet or a celebration, it's always a meaningless thing! How are we still like officials now? We're just doing odd jobs! Oh, it's really boring." The middle-aged man next to him The official patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be so depressed. We were originally doing chores for the top. Otherwise, what would we do? You are still young, help them with more errands, find a chance to get closer to them, Cultivate some good impressions. You can climb up if you have the opportunity in the future. At that time, if you want money, money and power, you can finally live a rich life. Well, don't be so discouraged, don't always think of yourself as an official who maintains social order Let's put it bluntly, they are servants who do chores for others! They say white is white, and black is black. If they say good, they are good, and if they say bad, they are bad. Don't get emotional, otherwise if you don't do it, someone else will do it.

Not only will you be useless, but you will also ruin your own future.That's the way the world is, and it's not under our leadership.Oh, only obedience."

And here, Haidar couldn't help cursing: "It's these corrupt people who broke the law and ruined the whole country like this! Every hungry person who dies should be accounted for on their heads! The king is also an old fool! He doesn’t even know the absurd things around him! A typical king of subjugation!”

Grimm laughed and said, "Be careful if someone overhears and sues you. There are only two clerks who are doing errands. Is it worth your limitless promotion? They will help you with the errands immediately after receiving the gold coins, and the three-day work will be done in an instant." It's over, it's enough to be trustworthy. What else do you want?"

Haidar almost jumped up and yelled: "What do you mean?" What else do you want. ? !Don't do it because of the smallness of evil!It is people like them who spread all over the government and the opposition, which lead to the ruin of the country's affairs!People like this should be severely punished!Only by thoroughly digging out the flesh of these **** can the country be restored to life." The excited words were just halfway through, but Ponuk next to him sneered coldly: "Uninformed country bumpkin!Only daydreams with chaotic goals every day! "

"You!" Haidar rushed forward in anger, his eyes seemed to be on fire, his scarlet scarlet was frightening, but Xiandel held him back anxiously, unable to speak any more.The book is sun-dried and sun-dried, mixed with a different body", said to read and go to the outside world
