Chapter 277

There are three large fortresses on the fortress line.

The central fortress faces the Abelion Hills, and the southern fortress is close to the southern sea area. Theoretically, if you want to reach the southern fortress, you must cross the entire fortress line.

And Tang Zheng's party arrived at the Holy Kingdom along the only route from the Kingdom to the Holy Kingdom, so the place they arrived at was the northern fortress.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound of breaking air shot from the fortress wall.

An arrow landed in front of the Evil Spirit Dog, forcing the entire carriage to stop.

"Who goes there!!"

A vigilant roar came from the fortress wall.

Clatter.

Tang Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and walked out, looking up at the high battlements, the figures surging on them, took off the adventurer's badge from his belt, and raised it above his head.

"I am the captain of the gold-ranked adventurer squad 'Freedom Will'."

A brief commotion on the fortress wall.

Not long after, at an inconspicuous position below the fortress wall, a narrow wooden door that looked hidden and only allowed one person to pass through was pulled open.

A squad of soldiers walked out from inside, with a full 15 people, quickly surrounding Tang Zheng's party.

All the soldiers had vigilant expressions on their faces.

The tall and fierce appearance of the Evil Spirit Dog showed that it was a powerful monster; this adventurer squad was not simple.

Tang Zheng looked at the soldiers surrounding them and was a bit surprised, feeling too vigilant; just because of the Evil Spirit Dog shouldn't be enough.

"Is there a demi-human on the carriage!"

The captain of the squad was a middle-aged man with a brown beard, staring at Tang Zheng with a serious gaze.

So that's it.

Are there magic or some kind of magic items on the fortress wall that can identify demi-humans?

Tang Zheng's heart flashed with this thought, and he nodded to the bearded man: "One of my companions is indeed a demi-human."

"What do you mean by that ogre tied to the back of the carriage?" The bearded man kept one hand on the weapon at his waist and asked again.

"I am an alchemist, and I can use the blood of demi-humans to make some potions. The ogre at the back of the carriage is used to make potions."

Tang Zheng smiled helplessly and explained again.

Hearing these words.

The bearded man was clearly surprised, and just as he was about to continue asking, a soldier next to him suddenly walked up and whispered something to the other party.

"Oh?"

The bearded man's surprised expression became even more intense, "'Regeneration Potion' is made by you?"

"If no one else can make it, this potion is indeed made by me." Tang Zheng smiled gently.

"Really amazing, my lord."

The bearded man's eyes softened, and the hand that had been on the weapon at his waist fell down, explaining: "Because of the demi-humans, the questioning just now was just normal."

"I don't know if you are aware that this route on the border is rarely taken, even by merchant caravans, which basically take sea transport."

"Anyway, welcome to your arrival, my lord."

After a simple questioning.

There were soldiers specifically assigned to lead Tang Zheng around the northern fortress and lead the way to the north.

The fortress gate of the fortress wall would not be opened easily.

Tang Zheng only understood after the explanation of the leading soldier that they had taken the wrong road; in fact, if they wanted to enter the Holy Kingdom, they needed to go further north.

The location was at the northernmost end of the border line, which was the real route for merchant caravans or adventurers to enter the Holy Kingdom.

After truly entering the Holy Kingdom.

After traveling for another half a day, they finally arrived at the fortress city closest to the fortress wall and also the largest in the Holy Kingdom—"Kalinch"!

This fortress city, unlike other large cities in the Holy Kingdom, was a direct territory under the Holy King family.

"Colorless Peace" Inn.

This is the largest inn in "Kalinch."

Tang Zheng's party stayed in this inn, and their arrival didn't cause any big commotion; instead, they received several warnings from soldiers.

In the spacious room, the floor was covered with soft carpets, and the glass floor-to-ceiling windows made the room look brighter.

Tang Zheng sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief; the observation along the way made him feel more and more that the Holy Kingdom was completely different from the Kingdom and the Empire.

"The status of adventurers in this country is really low." Tang Zheng thought of the soldiers' attitude along the way and picked up the hot water on the table and took a sip.

Due to the conscription system of the Holy Kingdom, it can be said that everyone is a soldier, which led to the status of the "Adventurer's Guild" being lower than that of the Baharuth Empire.

"My lord, should we deal with those blind guys." The Witch of the Miss Cuiye's voice turned cold, thinking of the soldiers who warned them overtly and covertly after entering "Kalinch."

Enri sitting on the side raised her head, although she felt that such behavior was not good, she rarely raised her small fist: "We didn't do anything, how could they be like that."

Because their squad had demi-humans.

Those soldiers who warned them reminded Tang Zheng's adventurer squad not to leave Kalinch and enter the depths of the Holy Kingdom.

"Don't do anything stupid."

Tang Zheng glanced at the Witch of the Miss Cuiye and didn't care much, saying to the two: "The situation in the Holy Kingdom is different from the Kingdom."

"People here are extremely repulsive to demi-humans. There is no need for this period of time, just stay in the hotel."

Actually, saying this is a bit absolute, such as the "Sea Dragon Statue" built by the Holy Kingdom at Lighthouse Cape.

In terms of diplomacy, they also have a relatively good relationship with demi-human races like mermen, and occasionally trade with sea giants.

It's just that overall, the people of the Holy Kingdom are still extremely repulsive to demi-humans.

"Yes." The Witch of the Miss Cuiye withdrew the coldness in her eyes and nodded respectfully.

"After traveling for so long, you two should have a good rest." Tang Zheng raised his hand to stroke the Evil Spirit Dog lying at his feet and smiled at Enri and the other.

"The master should also have a good rest."

"Yes."

Enri and the Witch of the Miss Cuiye exited the room one after another.

"Awoo." The Evil Spirit Dog tilted its head and rubbed against Tang Zheng's trouser leg.

Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed a piece of meat from the item box and threw it into the Evil Spirit Dog's mouth.

Looking at the Evil Spirit Dog swallowing it immediately, Tang Zheng reached out and knocked on the other party's head: "You just finished eating, and you're hungry again; your appetite is getting bigger and bigger now."

The Evil Spirit Dog immediately showed a wronged look: "Awoo."

Tang Zheng wouldn't be deceived by the other party's wronged expression, raised his head and looked out the window again: "Can't leave Kalinch? It seems they should be investigating my identity."

Whether he can leave Kalinch and enter the hinterland of the Holy Kingdom has no effect on him at all.

In the entire Holy Kingdom, there are only three things that Tang Zheng truly cares about:

The Four Great Holy Swords!

Exactly corresponding to the "Four Great Magic Swords," if the abilities of the Four Great Magic Swords are similar to the abilities of 【Cursed Knight】, then whether the "Four Great Holy Swords" are similar to another high-level profession.

The national treasure of the Holy Kingdom!

That is the crown worn by the Holy Queen, a magic item that collects the grand ritual magic "Final Holy War."

Tang Zheng didn't know what specific ability this magic had; in the original work, this grand ritual magic hadn't been used yet, and the Holy Queen had already been captured alive.

However.

Tang Zheng knew that in the Tenth Rank magic, there existed a magic called "Final War · Good."

If that crown really has a relationship with the Tenth Rank magic, he needs to get this national treasure to study it no matter what.

And the last one.

Is the "Sea Dragon Statue." Of course, the statue is not the point, but the meaning represented by the statue.

The "Sea Dragon" does exist, and even Neia has seen it with her own eyes; it is a kind of existence with two legs and two feet, wings that have long since degenerated, a long and thick tail, a huge body, and wisdom that is better than humans.

Tang Zheng is not sure if this so-called "Sea Dragon" is really a dragon, or some kind of dragon subspecies, or a special monster.

In short, it needs observation.

However, overall, Tang Zheng is not worried that unexpected situations will occur.

Whether Demiurge rules the Abelion Hills or rules the Holy Kingdom in the future, nothing beyond expectations happened, which proves that there is no greater threat in these two places.
