Chapter 104 The Beginning of a Year's Story
In front of the city gate of the imperial capital, several guard members wearing white guard uniforms who were patrolling and squatting were yawning listlessly.

The gazes of the few people have been sizing up the pedestrians who have just entered the city, as if they are looking for some target.

"Hey, it's been a few months?
I really don't know why the captain cares so much about those three unknown brats.

I've been here for so long, but I haven't heard that the captain has any relatives or friends. "A middle-aged member of the security team with a fierce face glanced at the pedestrians passing by, and then began to talk in boredom.

"I said Uncle Hal, can you be more serious.

If we accidentally miss the target, we will definitely be scolded to death by the captain when we go back. A youth-like member of the security team complained to the man named Hal very dissatisfied.

Hal waved his hands indifferently: "Isn't there still you here, I can rest assured that you are watching.

Hey~ I really don't know when I will be tall on this kind of day! "

"Here it goes again, can't you complain less.

There must be a reason for the captain to do this. Have you ever seen when the captain is unreliable?
This task is also a shift system task, and it is not only a few of us who perform the task.

In front of other city gates, there are no other brothers squatting there.

In my opinion, this task is much easier than patrolling the city and finding those merchants to 'pay taxes'.

Besides, if you really don't want to come, you can find someone to take your place. Seeing that Hal started to sigh again, the young man couldn't help helping his forehead.

However, when he mentioned their captain, all the members of the guard present showed admiration without exception.

"I said little Nathan, I know what you said.

As for the replacement... do you think I'll come over if I can find someone to replace me?
When I think about not being able to go to those profiteers' homes in person today and exploiting them severely, I feel unhappy for a while.

But that fellow Bacchus was able to exploit those profiteers to get cute little golden coins that were shining brightly one after another.

My heart... ouch, my heart hurts for a while! "As he said that, Hal really clutched his heart in pain.

This guy's pretentious appearance made the companions around him even more speechless.

However, those who knew Hal's character also knew that this guy's old problem was repeated.

In this case, generally speaking, they will choose to ignore it.

But Nathan couldn't help muttering: "Whoever gets those gold coins doesn't make a difference.

Anyway, if you get it back in the end, you still have to hand it over to the captain. "

"What do you know, little guy, even those gold coins must be handed over to the captain in the end.

At least I can keep them in my arms for a while before handing them over to the captain. "Although Hal and Nathan were talking about handing over the gold coins they had exploited from the merchants.

But the two of them didn't have the slightest unhappiness, and even Hal, who seemed greedy for money, had a natural expression.

"As soon as gold coins are mentioned, I feel worthless for our captain.

The captain obviously did so much for the common people in secret, but in the end he didn't gain a good reputation.

Instead, it was rumored that he became the lackey of the minister... Well! "Nathan had just said a few words before his mouth was covered by his companion.

The companion who covered his mouth and Hal glanced around nervously.

After making sure that no one heard what Nathan said, the two guys finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't want to die! You can tell us these things in private, even in front of the captain.

But here it is on the street.

What kind of consequences do you think will happen if the words you just said are accidentally spread to others! "The member of the security team who covered Nathan's mouth yelled at Nathan in a low voice.

Nathan also knew that he almost got into trouble, so he scratched his head in shame. Nathan said with some embarrassment, "Brother Milo, I'm really sorry, next time...uh... there will never be a next time!"

"Okay, that's the end of this topic, let's concentrate on carrying out the task." Milo glanced at the two of them lightly, and then began to keep silent.

Seeing this, Nathan and Hal also nodded seriously.

After a while, I watched the pedestrians coming and going, constantly walking in front of me.

Even Nathan, who is usually patient, couldn't help but start to feel a little bored.

Two boys and girls who had just entered the crowd suddenly caught his attention.

"Uncle Hal, Boss Milo, look, are those two people the ones we're looking for!" Nathan pointed to a man and a woman walking from outside the city, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.

When Hal and Milo heard this, they immediately regained their spirits.

Looking in the direction Nathan pointed, he took out a few more portraits and compared them with those two.

Milo nodded to the two people beside him: "Those two people are seven layers similar to the portrait the captain gave us, so we shouldn't be wrong now.

However, the captain gave us the goal of three people, and now there are only two.

I don't know if there was an accident? "

"Hey, I said what you want to know, just go up and ask those two brats.

It's useless to guess here and there.

Damn, to wait for these little guys.

In the past few months, I have come to squat every few days.

Well now, the hard days are finally over. "Speaking, Hal walked towards the target with a smile on his face.

However, his face is full of flesh, and there is a smile with a terrifying knife mark, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit hideous.

When he walked towards the target with a smile on his face, his clothes matched his smile.

Enough to make pedestrians on the road avoid them one after another.

"Hey, those two brats in front, please wait a moment." Hal said to the two in front of him.

"Uh! That... my lord, are you calling us?" A young man with a white turban on his forehead in front of Hal asked with a submissive expression when he saw Hal standing in front of them.

However, even though the young man was a little afraid of Hal, he did not forget to pull the female companion beside him behind him without leaving a trace.

The boy's actions happened to fall into Hal's eyes, which also added such a point to Hal's first impression of the boy.

"Hal, don't scare people." At this moment, Milo and Nathan also walked in front of the two.

While talking, Milo and the others secretly looked at the two boys and girls in front of them.

Milo and the others knew that by seeing their dusty appearance and many wounds on their bodies.

These two teenagers and girls were indeed killed on the way to the imperial capital as they had imagined.

"I don't know if the two are Iyeas and Shayou." Milo didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.

"How do you know our names? We don't seem to know anyone in the imperial capital, right?" Iyeas just opened his mouth nervously, when Shayou behind him tugged at the hem of his clothes.

When Iyeyas reacted belatedly, he already knew that he had accidentally slipped his mouth.

No wonder they are so careful.

Except for the explanation given to them by their village chief when they came out.

It is also because they encountered too many unpleasant things on the way to the imperial capital, and were tricked by others too many times, so they had to guard against it.

"Actually, you don't need to be too alert to us, let's not say that our security team is the security department in the imperial capital.

In this imperial capital alone, no one dares to deal with you openly. "Milo also saw the other party's worries.

So he reminded them directly to reassure them.

Although Iyeas and Shayou had never heard of any security force, they heard that Milo and the others were the department in charge of public security in the imperial capital.

In addition, from Milo's appearance and the reactions of the surrounding pedestrians, it can be seen that Milo is not lying.

"Um... don't you know why the three adults are looking for us?" Although he knew the identity of Milo and the others, Iyeas still asked cautiously.

"It's not that we are looking for you, let's not talk about this.

If the news we got is correct, the three of you should be traveling together, right?
I don't know where the other boy named Tazmi went? Milo looked around and determined that only these two were their target.

"Tazmi! Hey, my lord knows Tazmi?
Is your lord an acquaintance of Tatsumi?

No wonder!
That's not right, if Tatsumi has acquaintances in the capital, why don't we know? "As he spoke, Iyeas began to struggle again.

On the other hand, Shayou who was at the side looked at this guy speechlessly.

He took the initiative to explain to Milo and the others: "We were indeed with Tazmi when we first came out of the village.

But when rushing to the imperial capital a few days ago, I accidentally ran into bandits and was scattered by them.

But before we were scattered by bandits, we had an agreement to meet here in the imperial capital.

With Tatsumi's martial arts skills, we believe that he will not die so easily.

So it won't be long before he will come to us. "

Milo, Hal, and Nathan looked at each other, and shook their heads with a bit of a smile: "It's too tender."

"Huh? What's too tender?" Both Iyeas and Shayou looked at the three of Milo in puzzlement.

"Of course it means you are too young.

In just a few words, we can get the information we want out of your mouths.

You're lucky to meet some of us.

Otherwise, guys like you will never survive three days in the imperial capital.

Forget it, why tell you so much.

In short, all you need to know is that here in the imperial capital is not just an ideal town where you can get rich and realize your dreams.

Rather than saying that it is a paradise on earth, it is more appropriate to say that it is a hell that eats people without spit out bones.

In the future, you will slowly understand these things by yourself.

It won't be long before you understand what I mean by this.

Come, come with us, our captain wants to see you. "Speaking, Hal greeted a few people and walked towards the headquarters of the imperial guards.

"Hey, my lords, wait a minute. You haven't told us yet, who is your captain, and why is he looking for us?"

"You ask me, how do I know. Before I met you, I thought you were relatives of the captain's family.

Who knows you don't know each other.

Since they are not my relatives, could it be that they are looking for you to seek revenge?

Not like ah.

Forget it, take care of him.Anyway, just follow me.

Put you in the hands of the captain, and we can exchange errands.

After working for so long, it's finally over. "

"Hey! Hal, don't keep scaring people, okay?"

"Um...sirs, I don't know who your captain is?"

"Oh! I forgot to tell you, our captain is Wei Jun.

It's a strange name. If you know or have heard of it, you should be a little impressed, right? "
