Chapter 477: The Kingdom Treasury

The Treasury is arguably the most heavily guarded place in the whole of Dogulander, and the Laurel King Banner at the main entrance is hunting in the wind, symbolizing that it is the king's possession.

With the main gate as the center, there are watchtowers every fifty meters, and the buildings are all pitch black, full of cold and murderous atmosphere, like a giant spear piercing the sky.

The tower's guard posts are constant all year round, with the best Imperial Guards on duty at all times, and the occasional glare from the roof can be seen with a harsh reflection of metal arrows ready to kill the enemy.

The four-member group that is now heading towards the treasury is a "Chancellor of the Exchequer" with the title of Prince, a former "Governor" of the Beacon Province, a current "Acting Governor" of the Beacon Province, and a "Consul" of a city directly under the central government.

These four people are all big names in the big side when they come out at random, and the combined energy is enough to set off an earthquake in the kingdom's political arena.

However, such a thing as "identity" is useless in the treasury.

All the imperial guards on duty in the treasury adhered to the iron-like rule that had been passed down from the beginning of the country - only official documents, not people.

Without the relevant documents, no one is allowed to enter, regardless of your position.

Even if the king himself came, he was not allowed to enter without papers.

There was such an anecdote at the gate of the general warehouse before-

One day, after a meeting, Perseus wanted to stop by the general warehouse to check the relevant inventory, because the venue was next to the general warehouse, but there were no documents in his hand, so he thought that he would say hello to the general warehouse guards and go in.

But who knows, the captain of the guard on duty that day was not accommodating, and said that he would not let His Majesty the King in, so he led people to stop him, and he did not give him any documents.

In the end, Pertheus was forced to make a detour back to his office, write a letter to himself, and stamp himself to get in, which was very embarrassing.

The ministers had expected Perseus to punish the uninteresting captain of the guard, but the opposite turned out.

After that incident, the captain of the guard was not only not punished for obstructing the king, but was praised by Perseus as a model, and was promoted to a knighthood, and all the royal guards who participated in the obstruction were all praised.

Pertheus did this to inform others that rules are rules, and no one can be broken, not even a king.

Secondly, Pertheus also used this to support the imperial guards of the general treasury, if he broke into the general treasury that time, and other ministers wanted to break into the general treasury in the future, the imperial guards would be very powerless to stop them.

Perseus took himself as an example and did his official business, and the royal guards naturally had the confidence - I dare to stop the king, how old are you?

It can also be seen from this that the general library is a very serious place, and it is by no means a child's play.

At this time, Bao Erdian led the three of them to the general treasury, and the imperial guard stopped them at the door, and said with a blank face: "Ladies and gentlemen, are there any relevant documents to go to the general treasury?" ”

"Of course, please take a look." As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ballian knew the rules better than anyone else and handed over the king's edict.

The imperial guard checked that it was correct, nodded and said, "Please remove all the metal products and come here for inspection." ”

Chino and Resahar are both magistrates, and they are coming to the general treasury for the first time, so they don't know the process here.

They thought that removing the metal would be a body search, but it turned out that their imagination was a little lacking.

The body search was correct, but the executor was not the Imperial Guard.

I saw that the imperial guards took away the metal objects they handed over, put them in a sealed safe deposit box, and then opened an iron cage in the corner, and pulled out a strange beast from it.

The beast was similar in size to a wolfdog, shoulders as high as an adult's waist, and its skin was a metallic copper color, making it look like a moving bronze sculpture from a distance.

Iron Swallower, one of the world's most exotic beasts, is as rare as a unicorn.

Iron swallowing beasts are born with copper skin and iron bones, and they love to swallow metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron, and they can keenly smell the breath of metal.

The Iron Swallowers raised in the treasury are specially trained to sniff out those who enter and leave the treasury – no metal is allowed in the treasury, and the same is true for leaving the treasury.

In a place like the treasury where the treasure is abundant, the outer thieves are not to mention, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be inner ghosts who have different thoughts and steal from themselves, and the Iron Swallowing Beast is the nightmare of these lawbreakers.

No matter where the thief takes the stolen treasure, whether it is in his pocket or in his shoes, even if he swallows it, the Iron Swallower can smell it in his breath.

However, although the name, appearance, and recipe of the Iron Swallowing Beast are very domineering, their personalities are very gentle and cowardly, and they have no combat effectiveness, otherwise with their copper skin and iron bones, they will not be reduced to rare beasts in the wild.

No, after the Iron Swallower was brought out, he first sniffed on Baldian and Edward, wagged his tail and begged to touch it while smelling it, and was slapped by the guards before turning around and sniffing at Chino.

Perhaps it was the smell of strawberries on Chino's body that made the Iron Eater feel new, and it sniffed for a while, causing the Imperial Guards to be on guard.

But soon, the Iron Eater walked away silently.

The last person to be examined was Resahar, the Iron Swallower sniffing at him, his snort suddenly widening, his body froze, and he turned his head to warn the Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Guards soon surrounded Resakhar, and the soldiers on the watchtower locked him in.

"Huh?" Lei Sakhaldar was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused, he opened his eyes wide and touched his body, "I took out all the metal products, why are you yelling at me?" Is there a mistake? ”

Ray Sakhar touched it, and when his fingertips touched his shirt, he touched something hard, and he immediately slapped his head with remorse: "Damn... I'm lined with metal buttons..."

Resakhar took off his coat and took off the shirt he was wearing, the buttons of which were made of silver, as he said.

The Iron Eater sniffed the buttons on his shirt, sniffed around Resakhar again, and without saying a word, crawled to the ground, lazily itching his ears with his hind paws.

"Uh, hahaha... Misunderstand... I'll leave my shirt here. Ray Sakhar put his shirt aside, put on his coat and walked inside.

However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped again.

The imperial guard said with a blank face, "Please go back." ”

Ray Sakhar said embarrassedly, "No, I just didn't pay attention to my shirt..."

"According to the law, anyone who tries to enter the treasury of the state in possession of metal products shall be arrested on the spot. If it is an unintentional mistake, the arrest may not be made, but a new application for customs clearance documents will be required. The imperial guard was still expressionless, and repeated the three words, "Please go back." ”

Resakhar wanted to cry without tears, he had lost his temper completely, he had also heard about Pertheus being stopped by the guards here, and knew that the rules here were rigid, what was good was good, and if it was not good, the king would not be able to come, let alone be an acting governor.

Ray Sakhar sighed lightly, took his shirt back over, and said to the three people who passed the inspection: "I won't go to re-examine the expression documents, just wait for you outside, you will finish your work and come out as soon as possible." ”
