Chapter XVI: The Enemy's Guarantee
Early the next morning, when the sun was rising below the horizon outside the dock, Xue Hua was packing up his things and asking the guys at the Snake Bay Tavern about the way to enter the aristocratic quarter.
The aristocratic district of King's Harbour is not as easy to enter as the port area, and when Wood II expanded Dunclair, he did not tear down the walls of Duncre, but extended along the east and west walls of Duncre to the harbor area, and built roads and various buildings within the city walls, using the extended walls to connect the original King's Harbour and Duncre.
Therefore, Duncre, which is now the aristocratic district, has its own city walls, and both in height and thickness, they have reached the level of a real outer city wall.
Since the aristocratic district is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, the security there is naturally much better.
Under normal circumstances, the residents of the port area were not allowed to enter the aristocratic district, and foreign merchants had to go through a series of strict audits before they could enter the aristocratic district with a trade certificate.
Of course, Xue Hua can't accept any strict scrutiny, although his identity is completely fine, he is definitely a serious Lu Gaoyin businessman, and even has his own industry in Lu Gaoyin to supply him with business, but his body is a mimic chick deformation, although the metamorphic chick is very perfect, but it can't stand the legendary powerhouse stationed at the gate of the aristocratic district.
Just because of this legendary powerhouse and the strict censorship system of the aristocratic district, even the infiltration of the insect swarm into the noble district of King's Harbor is very shallow, so Xue Hua had to find out if there was any other way to sneak into the city.
"My lord, a decent person like you, if you want to enter the noble district, you only need to pass the review, why find another way?"
The bartender asked, a little puzzled.
"I don't like being searched or swept around with those weird things or whatever, isn't there a way to get into town without being checked?"
Xue Hua shook his head and explained casually.
"This... Yes, yes, but ......" The bartender hesitated, a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this method? ”
"Uh... No, it's just that it's a bit more cumbersome than passing the censorship......" the bartender said, scratching his head.
"Oh? Tell me about it? ”
"Your Excellency, do you know the three major families of our King's Harbor?" The bartender asked.
"Of course you know, how? Does this method have anything to do with them? "How could Xue Hua of the three major families not know that he had offended the Majeri family not long ago.
"That's right, if a foreign merchant wants to enter the aristocratic district without inspection, he must have a core member of one of the three major families to guarantee it."
The bartender nodded and explained like Xue Hua.
"I see......"
Xue Hua had a look of understanding on his face, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
Among the three major families, the "Golden Silk Face" Marjery family, he has been in contact with before, and that legendary mage Ron should definitely be regarded as a core member of the Marjery family, right?
In this way......
Hey......
A mysterious smile appeared on Xue Hua's face.
"Thanks, then I'll go."
He nodded to the bartender, picked up his empty bag, turned and walked out the tavern door.
Just now, Xue Hua had already thought of a way to smoothly blend into the aristocratic district.
It's just that this method has to be cooperated with by his opponent Majeri family.
......
It was nearly noon, at the gates of the noble district of Port Kings, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the professional soldiers guarding the city.
"Who? Outsiders are not allowed to trespass into the aristocratic district, and if they want to enter the city, they must first go there to register for inspection! ”
A knight in a gold-level cuirass walked over with two of his men and reminded him loudly directly into the carriage.
The side door of the carriage opened, and Xue Hua, who was dressed in a luxurious silk robe, walked down from the carriage with two bodyguards.
"My lord, I am familiar with the Sage Ron Margery of your country's Marjery family, and I would like to ask you to make it easier and accommodating."
He walked up to the paladin and invariably stuffed a small bag of gold coins into the other's hand, explaining with a flattering smile on his face.
"Do you know Lord Ron?" As soon as the paladin saw Xue Hua's dress, his vigilance couldn't help but relax a little, he turned around and glanced at the two subordinates behind him, and then flipped the money bag in his hand.
Well, let's not say a hundred and ten gold coins!
"Yes, yes, Charles Walles, the traveling merchant of Rogon, with whom Lord Ron had spoken to him when he was passing by before, came to visit the Marjery family, and to open up a market for some of our small specialties."
Xue Hua still had a cheesy smile on his face, and a stench of merchant's philistine copper naturally emanated.
"Well, I see, what proof do you have?"
Seeing Xue Hua so good, the captain of the paladin believed seven or eight points in his heart, and he didn't do any more checks, just asked casually as usual.
"This, this, uh, Lord Ron was in a hurry at the time, and he didn't have time to ask the adult for a token, and the adult just asked me to report his name, so ......"
Xue Hua approached the paladin captain again, tucked another small money bag into the hem of his breastplate without a trace, and then took a step back and said, "If you don't believe me, you can contact Lord Ron to prove what you said." ”
"Then there is no need, Lord Ron is a legendary powerhouse, how can a person like him be alarmed by such a trivial matter?"
A satisfied smile appeared on the paladin's face.
He and his subordinates saw the small money bag at the beginning, as the saying goes, those who see it have a share of interests, and this bag of money must be divided with his subordinates.
Although he must take the lion's share, how can he eat alone with the pleasure of dividing the money?
And the bag of money that Xue Hua had just quietly stuffed into him was considered to be for him, and the two subordinates behind him did not see this scene.
In the face of such a superior guy, the captain of the paladin also thought of continuing to review, turned around and took a parchment book and opened it, wrote the name of "Charlie Walls" on it, and then wrote the words "Marjery Family Guarantee" directly on the back.
After the paladin finished registering, he handed the parchment book back to the two subordinates behind him, and then turned his head to Xue Hua and said.
"Okay, you can go in, but you can't bring your two bodyguards in."
"This nature, this nature." Xue Huamei nodded with a smile, then turned her head to the two "bodyguards" with a serious face and said, "You two, go back to the hotel and wait for me, I'll come out after I'm done, don't run around, don't make trouble for me, understand?" ”
"Yes, sir." The two bodyguards who had transformed into mimic chicks respectfully agreed, then re-entered the carriage and returned to the harbor area with the carriage.
"Well, you remember, you can only stay in the city for one day, if you want to postpone, you have to ask your guarantor to go to the city guard to re-register, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch in the city! Do you understand? ”
The paladin nodded, and finally gave Xue Hua a few words of warning, then stepped out of the way and let Xue Hua enter the noble district of King's Harbor.
