"Why not?"
The captain of the team guarding the city gate said to Han Ben, "If I just let you into the city, you will die, you are not stupid, will you still run back to prove it to me."
You don't have to pat your chest and promise anything like that, this kind of talk has no value. ”Han Ben couldn't help asking, "Otherwise, you can send someone to enter the city with us, and when you get to the office of Jinglan Mansion, after the people over there confirm that it is correct, your people will come back." ”But Han Ben was too naïve to think about it, if it was really so easy to solve, then Han Ben would not be blocked at the city gate.Sure enough, the captain of the city guard team glanced at Han Ben with idiot-like eyes, and then replied, "This little brother, you are giving me a problem."
How can it be so easy for us to leave our posts and go somewhere else, and if we know it, we will be punished severely.And it's really hot, if our people go with you, if they get heat stroke on the way, they fall into a coma, and they have a headache and brain fever, it will also cost a sum of money, doesn't it?
And now the city is very chaotic, going to be attacked and injured, who will pay for this medical expenses, we who watch the city gate are difficult, tired and tired will beg for food, all year round can not get a few salaries, a child is eager to break into two halves, this has a family, and has to keep some for the family.In this troubled world, it is not easy for anyone to live. ”This squad leader looked sad after speaking, but those eyes were staring at Han Ben's clothes fieryly, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.How could Zagu still not understand when he saw this, even Han Ben understood at this time."
What the hell, this is a gangbangr.""
Bastard, isn't this blackmail?
Is this still a soldier?
”Han Ben and Zagu couldn't help but curse in their hearts.These city guards, who defend, no one defends.Now this Red Iron City claims to have 80 million people on the surface, but in fact, there are not even 10 million.The captain also wanted to make as much money as possible, and if he had more and more money, he walked away and ran south, running as far as possible.What the hell to protect the territory and the people.Hell with him.Sentient beings in troubled times, stop talking about beliefs and ideals, because they are not as good as a few pieces of bread in front of you and a few handfuls of gold coins that you are already holding in your hands.If a person is under the eaves and does not bow his head, he will definitely be hit on the head and bleed.Han Ben could only take out two of the fifty crystal coins given by Count Nahanfei and give them to the captain of the squad guarding the city gate."
This sir, I can only go into the city to find the office of the Shocking Lan Mansion first and then prove my identity to me, this is a little hard money, how about you send someone to be in the same district with me, sir?"
Then just let him come back and let him know the results.I'm not going to bother you. ”Seeing Han Ben take out the two crystal coins that were dangling, the face of the team leader guarding the city gate also became kind."
Well, it's not that I want your money, it's really a rule from above, you can't leave your post without permission while guarding the city gate.I'm also thinking about my subordinates, no, if they follow me, I have to be responsible for them.In fact, they are afraid of a mistake, and now they have this," the team leader pointed his mouth towards the two crystal coins, "Then I think there is no problem," Then, the team leader guarding the city gate turned around and shouted behind him, "Wang Ergou." ”"Here."
A young man with a spear on his shoulder, his mouth crooked and his eyes slanted, and the city guard uniform dressed in a nondescript manner."

Feeling. ”"yes, it's still a stammer."
Han Ben said in his heart."
Wang Ergou, take a trip, send these two brothers to the Jinglan Mansion office in the city, go early and return early.""
Compliance......
Yes......
Follow......
Yes......
Yes, sir. ”"Alright, get out."
Han Ben and the others finally entered the Red Iron City under the leadership of this Wang Ergou.As for the griffon, it was at the gate for the time being.Most of the buildings in the Red Iron City are made of the same dark red building materials as the city walls.The whole has a tall and heavy feel.Han Ben, who was walking on the main road, kept looking at both sides with his eyes.The architecture here resembles the Gothic style of the earth.The pointed and high roof, and the narrow windows, in fact, most of them have been emptied, or have changed owners.As a former source of ore and various metal products, the Irontown was not very prosperous in the past, but it was also very lively.Han Ben, who is walking on the street now, only feels that the whole city is deserted, and there is a dead air as if his life is about to end.Skinny old men squatted on both sides of the street in tattered turbans, and every time someone passed by them, they swept each other with dull and cloudy eyes, and there was no superfluous movement.I don't know from which battlefield the disabled soldiers wandered here, many of them just lay on the ground, these are either without hands or legs, even the itinerant soldiers are not qualified to be soldiers, soldiers who have lost the ability to fight, can only be with beggars.Or that they voluntarily became beggars, dressed in tattered military uniforms, waiting for alms from passers-by.After they had changed their weapons, armor and other equipment, they began to resign themselves to their fate.Many of these wounds are still bleeding and suppurating due to the lack of effective treatment.I turned several streets and made several turns.The scene on several street corners shocked Han Ben even more.The bodies of dead children were discarded on street corners.The parents of these little children, or babies, have no way of knowing where they are, or even are no longer in the world.These little angels, who were supposed to be innocent and innocent, just lay on the cold earth.The whole city was depressed and dilapidated, with death, hunger, panic and all kinds of rumors hanging over the city.Although the lord of the city claimed to have a population of 80 million at that time, in fact, there are not even 10 million now.Those who remain here have no strength, no power, no background, no financial resources, and even no physical strength.Those who can go have gone through all kinds of means.Today, there is no commercial activity in the Celeste, food is scarce, and the price of a loaf of bread or a nest can be bought five to twenty times the price on the black market.Only the corps and city guards stationed here were able to receive the most basic supplies.And the source of materials on the black market can be imagined.Law and morality are not binding here, and among the remaining people, those who still have physical strength, will reduce their human nature to a minimum, and develop or sublimate their animal nature.In order to eat in one bite, you can bite the throat of your companion without hesitation."
Stomp Tread Stomp ......" quickly ran towards a group of city guards, about a squad or so.Han Ben and Zagu hurriedly made way for them.The city guard squad passed by Han Ben and the others, and knocked down an elderly woman who was hunched over and walking with a broken bowl in her hand.After knocking the elderly woman down, no one helped and comforted her, but someone kicked the old woman a few meters away, and the old woman lay on the ground and wailed a few times and did not move.In the eyes of these city guards, there was no pity and sympathy for these victims of war, only indifference and contempt.The scenes along the way, Han Ben's mood was heavy, and the ukiyo-e under the war was displayed in front of the world.The office of the Raiding Provinces has finally arrived.There are no opulent facades, no eye-catching signs.It's a nondescript room, two stories high, with about two courtyards in it.There is a big sign at the door, and the big sign is engraved with a unique logo belonging to the Jinglan Mansion."
Here we are."
Han Ben also saw it."
Then little brother Han Ben, you go in, my task is complete.I'm going back to my life. ”Han Ben replied, "Okay, thank you, big brother." ”Zagulei acted resolutely, nodded to Han Ben, turned around and left.Han Ben didn't care about Wang Ergou who was following behind him, walked to the door, and said to the people in the gatehouse with a little respect, "Hello, I am a new student of Jinglan Mansion this year, this is my Jinglan Seal, I am from Agriaborg and will rush to Jinglan Mansion at the end of this summer."
I hope this office can arrange it. ”A middle-aged man in the concierge took the shocking seal handed over by Han Ben and looked at it carefully for a while.said to Han Ben, "There is no problem with your Shocking Seal, please come with me." ”After Han Ben heard this, he hurriedly followed the gatehouse into the Jinglan Mansion, and he didn't care about the stammering Wang Ergou, let him go back where he likes.Follow this gatehouse to the second courtyard, go up to the second floor, and the gatekeeper first let Han Ben outside a room like a study, wait for a while, and go in to report first.In less than ten breaths, the porter came out of it and motioned for Han Ben to enter.Han Ben raised his feet and entered the study.Han Ben saw that in this simply furnished study, there was a platform made of five tables, and on the platform was a sand table.In addition to this, there is a map with red and blue arrows drawn on it."
You're new to this year?"
A voice came out from behind the sand table and asked Han Bendao.Han Ben looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who had lost an eye, and said, "Yes, I am a new student this year, and that is my Shocking Seal," Han Ben pointed to the Shocking Seal that had just been brought in and was now placed on the sand table.The one-eyed man asked again: "Are you from Agriabor?"
Well?
No, you're the Order of the Eagle, the Order of the Eagle of the Fourth Class, and you've made a meritorious service?
”Han Ben didn't know how to answer this question, because the question couldn't be explained for a while."
Yes, I am from Agriaborg, and this medal is also mine.Any questions?

”"I heard that a Silver Star general died in Agriaplease, and the general's entire army is dead, right?""
The news spread so quickly," Mr.
Han said."
I don't need to hear about it, it's true, because I'm the only one in that unit who survived, and that's why this medal was given to me."
Han Ben raised his head and answered the one-eyed man in front of him.Seeing Han Ben say this, the one-eyed man looked Han Ben up and down a few times with surprised eyes.However, in the one-eyed man's one-eyed eyes, Han Ben can't be more ordinary, and there is nothing particularly outstanding just about his appearance.It seems that sometimes, luck can also be a factor in making a difference.Then the one-eyed man didn't ask any more questions, and got down to business with Han Ben."
It's the beginning of August, and there are still two months to go from here to the end of summer to start school in the Shocking Mansion.This depends on how to choose, if you take a high-level flying mount and fly directly over, day and night, it will only take about seventeen or eighteen days.If you change to another means of transportation, you can't say for sure.Usually new trainees who come to my office first try to reach the port city of Derlantala in the Gulf of Adorly, where they find a way to take a boat or a flying mount through the Colony garrison.Then get in touch with the office of the garrison area, and they will arrange the route. ”"A unit of the Efron Corps stationed here is going to Derlantala in three days to transport food, and I can protect and arrange to enter the same road as them.""
There's another route, which is by water, by boat along the Dongne River, directly to the Gulf of Ador.But nowadays the ship is very difficult to arrange. ”Han Ben hurriedly asked, "What's the fastest way?"
”The one-eyed man replied, "Then you can only ride a flying mount, but can you afford to rent one?"
In the case of griffins, it is the cheapest, thirty crystal coins a day, and if you can afford it, I can arrange it for you. ”When Han Ben heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, this price is not something that Han Ben can afford now.Then I can only go with this grain delivery team.Han Ben said to the one-eyed man, "Then I'll wait for three days and leave with the grain transport team." ”The one-eyed man looked up at Han Ben, lowered his head again, looked at the sand table in front of him, and said to Han Ben, "The departure will be three days later, you can stay here temporarily, if there are other new students in these three days, I will arrange for you to set off together, in addition, the Red Iron City is not very safe now, the security in the city is bad, don't go out at night, and the other one, eat and live here, you need to pay room and board."
Funding is tight and funding is low.It can only be so. ”Han Ben had no other way but to stay here first and wait for three days.However, during the three days of waiting, Han Ben met his best brother in the future, and this best brother eventually became his last enemy.
