Chapter 70: Travel permit? Something happened in E-Rantel?
The next day, early morning.
Under the send-off of the Village Chief and Lower Lake, Tang Zheng left Carne Village.
Until this moment.
Lower Lake felt a sense of relief.
From the first time he saw Tang Zheng, his intuition told him that the other party was a very dangerous man, and he had never heard of anyone being able to tame a monster like an Evil Spirit Dog.
Especially.
Lower Lake's throat moved.
The little Evil Spirit Dog that looked affectionate toward that man, its true attitude, clearly should be fear!
Glancing at the Village Chief's carefree look beside him, Lower Lake knew that the Village Chief hadn't taken his words to heart.
"Sigh." Lower Lake sighed.
Fortunately, that man had no malice toward the village.
After leaving Carne Village, Tang Zheng no longer suppressed his speed, grabbed the little Evil Spirit Dog, and moved forward quickly.
Along the way.
There were only sporadic beasts, and there was no sign of Goblins or monsters at all.
Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng realized that no wonder the Adventurer Guild sent adventurer squads to investigate; the impact caused by his hunting of monsters and Goblins over the past month was much greater than he expected.
Judging from the fact that he hadn't encountered adventurer squads in the jungle and the information obtained from Carne Village, the Adventurer Guild shouldn't have obtained any useful information.
Due to the lack of obstruction from monsters, coupled with the improvement in strength.
In just two hours or so.
Tang Zheng had already seen "E-Rantel" in the distance.
You know, when he left "E-Rantel" to Carne Village, it took a whole day.
Three city walls surrounded the entire city, and under that sturdy and majestic appearance, the rough heaviness revealed gave anyone approaching here a kind of invisible pressure.
The checkpoint below the gate.
Several soldiers were gathered together, chatting and resting casually.
As soldiers of a fortress city, naturally they shouldn't be so lax, but the time was still too early.
In a place like the border, whether it's travelers or merchant caravans, they would choose a relatively safe time to set off. The surrounding villages wouldn't come at this time either.
Even though the harassing monsters and annoying Goblins had suddenly decreased a lot during this time, it still didn't change most people's travel time.
In short, it wasn't a busy time yet.
"Hey, hey, stop playing, someone is coming." A soldier suddenly saw the figure in the distance and reminded his companions.
"Seriously, so early."
Another soldier yawned, stood up, and looked into the distance as well.
However, soon.
The two somewhat lazy soldiers' eyes became serious.
The closer to "E-Rantel", the more Tang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the fortress city's thick city walls.
Although it wasn't his first time seeing it, a massive city like a fortress city definitely couldn't be built relying solely on human power if magic didn't exist.
"Woo."
The little Evil Spirit Dog followed closely behind Tang Zheng, its head turning constantly, observing the surroundings, clearly very curious about everything around it.
Walking into the city gate.
Tang Zheng glanced at the two soldiers guarding the checkpoint and reached into his pocket to take out the copper coins he had prepared and handed them over.
Unexpectedly.
This soldier didn't reach out to take them, but instead looked at Tang Zheng somewhat seriously.
"My lord, are you an adventurer?"
This soldier carefully looked at the little Evil Spirit Dog, then asked respectfully.
"Not really." Tang Zheng frowned slightly.
"Is that so." This soldier paused for a short while, clearly a bit surprised by this answer, looked at the other soldier, and spoke cautiously:
"My lord, I wonder if you can produce a travel permit."
Travel permit?
Tang Zheng had heard the "Rock" squad mention this thing.
Besides the Royal Capital, in the Re-Estize Kingdom, the main cities in other major noble territories require a travel fee to enter and exit, which can also be called a walking tax.
Of course, residents of their own territory will have certain preferential treatment, and some generous nobles will even directly waive this part of the fee.
And to have such preferential treatment, one needs to possess a travel permit specially issued to various villages in the territory, replacing the "travel fee".
Tang Zheng naturally didn't have such a thing.
The problem is, this soldier should also know. Just by his hair color, he could determine that Tang Zheng was not a resident living in this territory.
Tang Zheng's first thought was whether something had happened in "E-Rantel".
You know.
When he came to "E-Rantel" a month ago, there was no such obvious defensive behavior; he only needed to pay the travel fee to enter and exit at will.
It shouldn't have anything to do with his actions in the Tob Forest.
=9+Shu_ba
At least.
Tang Zheng didn't think killing some Goblins would cause such an impact.
Seeing Tang Zheng shake his head to indicate he didn't have one.
The soldier didn't show a surprised expression, because if the other party had one, it would really be a problem.
"Sorry, my lord."
"Could you let our magic caster check your items." This soldier was somewhat nervous and spoke cautiously.
Following a monster, clearly not an ordinary person.
If the other party were an adventurer, they wouldn't need to do such an offensive thing.
After hearing these words.
Tang Zheng had already realized that something must have indeed happened in "E-Rantel".
"Could you tell me what happened?" Tang Zheng didn't agree immediately, but spoke expressionlessly.
"This..." The soldier showed a difficult expression.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, another soldier standing on the side watching this side seemed to remember something and walked over quickly.
"Are you the one who was with Lady Grandmother Liji last time?" The other soldier walked over, saw Tang Zheng's appearance clearly, and said in surprise.
Black hair color is rare, although a month had passed, the impression was still deep.
As soon as this name came out.
The soldier just now showed a surprised expression: "Pharmacist Grandmother Liji Balearae?"
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew Grandmother Grandmother Liji's potion workshop was very famous in "E-Rantel", and he had already felt it when he entered the city together last time.
But this time, Tang Zheng could clearly perceive that he seemed to have underestimated Grandmother Liji Balearae's reputation in this city.
"That's right."
Tang Zheng nodded lightly.
"Is that so?" The soldier who proposed the inspection showed a hesitant expression and looked at the other soldier again.
"Very sorry, my lord."
"This is an order from above, we don't know why we have to do this either."
This soldier was full of apologies and spoke in a low voice.
Tang Zheng waved his hand indifferently, the copper coins in his hand were immediately collected by the other soldier, and then he was let through.
