Soul Echo

Calderon exhaled hot air into his palms, rubbed his hands red from the cold, and looked up at the sky.

The sun was covered in gray clouds, and the damn cold wind kept blowing, keeping the thick, icy clouds down, turning them into snowflakes and drifting toward the earth.

"Close the door, close the door!"

An impatient voice climbed up the stairs, Calderon and several of his companions turned their heads and saw an unhappy expression. The messenger walked out of the stairs and shouted: "Those gods said that there might be a blizzard today, and the transportation line may be stopped for a few days. Hurry up and close the door, so I can go back and rest!" The attitude of the soldiers was unhappy, but the news that they could leave the city gates and go back to rest still made them excited.

The same is true for Calderon. It's cold and snowing. No one likes to leave the warm house at such a time.

With the musket on his shoulder, several soldiers walked to the switch of the city gate and were about to raise the drawbridge, but Calderon narrowed his eyes.

"Look, what is that?"

Several soldiers looked in the direction of his fingers and saw snow dust flying in the distance.

The messenger also looked over and spat: "Whatever he is! Just close the door!"

"It's the carriage..." Calderon muttered.

Hearing this answer, several other soldiers looked at each other and stopped closing the door.

The weather is so cold, and there will be blizzards in the future. There is no other place to shelter from the wind and snow. If you just keep that carriage out of the way, you will die.

Seeing their attitude, the messenger didn't dare to make trouble, couldn't help but mumble a few words, and waited for the carriage in the distance with a few soldiers under the cold wind and heavy snow.

Immediately, the soldiers discovered that the driver was very good at driving, even on the snow-covered ground, he could keep the carriage at a fairly fast speed without slipping, Without collision, when it is about to come to the front of the suspension bridge, it can also reduce the speed of the carriage.

This kind of car skill, let alone driving the carriage, is not a problem to control the war chariot on the battlefield!

carriage has slowed down, and when stepping on the suspension bridge, it will no longer cause damage to the suspension bridge.

Carriage had just entered the city gate, and the soldiers who felt their blood boiled tightened their muscles, turned the winch, and pulled the suspension bridge up.

Seeing that they had begun to close the city gate, the messenger, lightly snorted, turned and walked down the stairs.

Calderon wiped the sweat from his forehead and back of his neck, and walked down the stairs with his companions. The suspension bridge has been raised, so the next step is to close the city gate.

Going down the stairs and walking out of the city wall, a few soldiers found the carriage parked under the city wall, the driver greeted them nodded after seeing them come down, and said "Thank you" ', and then drove away.

The soldiers looked at each other and laughed dumbly.

The 'Military City' is a semi-open town. Most of the time, strict inspections are required to enter and exit. However, there are exceptions to everything. In the case just now, the soldiers did not bother to search carefully.

The soldiers on duty at the city gate just asked Zhong Ye why they came to the 'Military City', checked the carriage, and then let go.

'Military City' cannot be regarded as a 'small' town. It seems that there are not many permanent residents here, but there are several factories. The existence of those factories makes the area of ​​this town very huge.

From a distance, Zhong Ye saw a few thick plumes of smoke rising into the sky, plus the information he had learned from the lord of Vienne, it was inferred that there were at least five or more in this town. factory.

These factories should not all produce firearms, because the town was completely closed in the past, and the leader of the town must at least meet the living needs of workers, soldiers and their families.

So, the corresponding factories came into being.

Anyway, they all successfully infiltrated the 'Military City' and completed the 1st Step of the plan.

This kind of place obviously won't have an adventurer's house, and there is no one on the street, Zhong Ye can only drive the carriage to wander the street, looking for a hotel.

Fortunately, the sign of the hotel is still conspicuous, and Zhong Ye's perception is also more sensitive. He found the hotel two streets away.

"Come in..."

Zhong Ye knocked on the hotel door, and soon after, a feeble voice came from the hotel.

Zhong Ye pushed the door and walked in, seeing a tall silhouette pushing the door open, the inn Boss who was lying on the side watching the visitor, was so frightened that he sat up straight.

Glancing at the big sword behind Zhong Ye, the inn Boss swallowed, "You, you are..."

"I'm here to stay at the inn."

p>

Zhong Ye patted off the snow on his body outside the door, but the feeling of wet clothes still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you still have a room here? Can I put my carriage?"

Zhong Ye pointed out the door, the inn Boss also raised his butt slightly, leaned forward, and saw The small carriage outside the door.

The hotel Boss is relaxed, but the carriage of this size can still fit in their store.

Zhong Ye saw the inn Boss nod and said, "Then give me two rooms."

Two?

The inn boss was a little puzzled, but remembering the carriage outside the door, he immediately clear comprehension.

"Two rooms plus a storage carriage..." The hotel boss lowered his head and counted with his fingers, and it took about half a minute to get the result, "Twelve Copper Coins in three days, we do not accept other territories here. Copper Coin!”

Zhong Ye nodded, “That’s four coins a day, how about Silver Coin? What’s the exchange rate?”

“Silver Coin only accepts royal and Uned collars. Produced, it is equal to 26 copper coins in good condition, and 18 copper coins in poor condition."

Zhong Ye took out a Silver Coin in his wallet, "Although it is not high. It was produced by Kingdom Lu, but the quality is good."

The inn Boss picked up the Silver Coin and glanced at it, nodding it with approval, "This counts as twenty...three for you! Excuse me if you want to live here. How many days?"

Zhong Ye thought for a while, then shook his head, "Not sure yet, more refunds and less compensation."

Putting away the Silver Coin, the inn Boss got up and went around the counter, Take Zhong Ye to the backyard of the hotel, because he can't drive, and Zhong Ye needs to drive himself.

After halfway around the street, the hotel boss asked Zhong Ye to turn into an alley. The alley is very narrow and can only accommodate a carriage to pass through.

The hotel boss was crowded in the driver's seat, nervously watching the road ahead, and suddenly heard the adventurer beside him say: "I heard that this is a military town that produces firearms, there should be many taboos, I came here to By the way to Claremont, I hope you can tell me what places I can't go, so as not to accidentally enter those places when going out for supplies, and affect you."

The inn Boss was stunned for a while, thinking in his mind. In order to clarify the meaning of this passage, and then agree with the nodded.

It is said to be far away from Claremont. Although I don't know where this adventurer came from, it must be replenished.

Squinting his eyes and looking at the flying snow, the shops will not open on such a blizzard day, but there are always times when they do.

"On the west side of the town, there are several factories that cannot be visited, and the center of the town, where the army is stationed, and the northeast of the town is where the nobles live, but you can also enter there. If you don't go, there are soldiers guarding you."

West, center, and northeast.

Zhong Ye slightly unified

, "I know."

Several factories are concentrated together, which means that storage and transportation are prepared, and it is easy to do things here. As long as you buy one of the links, you can deduct some arms.

Leave aside the military barracks for the time being. The northeast is an area where nobles live. This is not a territory that has been inherited for a long time. The large number of nobles also means that the power is chaotic. Many people want to mix here. foot.

The nobles here are just the 'white gloves' of those people, but I don't know if the people behind those nobles know that their 'chess pieces' have joined that interest group, and what's more, those big nobles themselves are The people from that interest group?

——If there is no accident, this town must be established by the royal family, and only the great nobles of the Gallic Kingdom dare and can put people here.

If the situation is really as the Lord of Vienne said, he may be able to follow the clues this time and tear off the veil from the face of the interest group, so that the world can see what is under the veil. face!
