"Stop, tell me who you are!"
Outside Golden Flash Town, Wang Lu and his party were blocked by the guards.
Two guards, dressed in light armor and armed with spears, crossed their weapons in front of the carriage. Although in front of the Nightmare Beast, the obstruction of the two mortal guards was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, the guards' posture was extremely firm.
"Humph, they haven't lost their former spirit." Inside the carriage, Aya secretly nodded.
The people of the Knight King should inherit the spirit of the knight, humble but not inferior. Even in the face of an opponent that was far above them, they should still maintain their posture. Now it seemed that although the kingdom of the knight had perished, the spirit of the knight had still been passed down.
"Ridiculous."
In this regard, Wang Lu just shook his head and then got off the carriage and came to the guards.
"You two, we are loitering scholars from the eastern city states." Wang Lu said in a proficient Western Continent language, "We are not suspicious people."
The guards were still vigilant. "Do you have any documents to prove your identity?"
Like many countries in Nine Regions, when people migrated, they needed to prove their identity. Some countries in the Western Continent also had similar regulations, especially in the countries under the rule of Holy Light Religion. People like Wang Lu and his party, who came from the Nine Regions, had to be doubly vigilant. This was the duty of the guards, even if Wang Lu and his party were obviously extraordinary, they were no exception.
Wang Lu smiled. "Documents? Of course. "
With that, Wang Lu took out a cloth bag from his waist, which made a jingling sound.
"Please check it carefully, the documents are absolutely reliable."
"Hey!" Aya was surprised. "Are you trying to bribe them? Don't make fun of me, they can't … "
Before her voice fell, she heard the two guards chuckle and said, "I understand, they are indeed not suspicious people. Please come in. "
Then, without any obstruction, the carriage went straight into Golden Flash Town.
When Wang Lu got on the carriage, he smiled at the sluggish Aya and said, "Hahaha, it seems that some spirits are more ancient than the spirit of the knight!"
Aya somewhat unwillingly said, "This, this is just an individual phenomenon! I believe in my people. I believe in chivalry. "
Wang Lu shrugged. "Well, you still believe in love and Santa Claus, right?"
"Although I don't know what Santa Claus is, what's wrong with believing in love?"
Wang Lu sneered and then snapped his fingers at Liu Li. "Junior Sister, tell her."
While eating the flower cake, Liu Li said, "Senior Brother taught me that love comes and goes quickly, only pork roll is eternal."
"You! What the hell are you teaching? "

During the dispute, the carriage had already entered the center of the town. Goldshire Town was a place of frequent exchanges. There were many inns in the town, but they still could not meet the needs of the large influx of tourists. Along the way, most of the inns were overcrowded. Considering that his identity was sensitive, under Aya's guidance, Wang Lu went straight to a secluded inn.
"Ah, it's been so long, but this inn is still operating." When the carriage approached the inn, Aya sighed softly, "It's really nostalgic. A long time ago, when I was patrolling Goldshire Town, I lived here for a short time. Although this inn is inconspicuous, and almost no one would come to stay, it's actually run by an aristocratic family. The environment is quite comfortable, and the service is also very considerate. "
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Aya was surprised to find that there were already a lot of people gathered there. Most of them were luxuriously dressed, and many of them revealed a strong professional aura.
"I'm sorry, the inn is full. I really can't entertain more people. Please go back."
At the door, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with bright eyes was politely rejecting the guests with an apologetic expression.
"Are you blind? Our master is the only son of the Grand Boulder City's Registrar, how dare you neglect him! "
"Ah, so that's how it is. I'll explain the situation to the guest who just checked in and let him give you the room, okay?"
"Humph, at least you know what's good for you!"
"Yes, yes. The guests just now claimed to be the family of the City Lord of the Red Scale City. I believe that since they are the City Lord, they should be understanding and understanding of your difficulties. I will go and talk to them now!"
"Wait a minute! The City Master of the Red Scale City?! Then, then we don't need to … "The group of people were dispirited.
After sending away the only son of the Registrar, the little girl gently sighed, stood at the entrance, swept the crowd that was still gathered, and shouted, "My house is full, there's no use for you to stay here! Or do you want me to discuss with the guests who have already checked in and give up the room? The easiest person to talk to is the City Master, do you want me to talk to him? "
The easiest person to talk to is the City Master? Although the Red Scale City could only be regarded as a third-tier city in Brettonia, it was still the City Master. Hearing this, the crowd finally began to disperse, apparently realizing that it was meaningless to be entangled.
In the carriage, Wang Lu turned to look at Aya. Aya looked at the capable little girl with emotion. "She's exactly the same as her ancestors. In those days, the one who received me was also such a little girl. However, there weren't so many guests at that time. "
Wang Lu also frowned. "There are indeed too many people in this town."
On the way here, he noticed that the number of tourists in this town was unusually high. Inns, pubs, shops, and other places were crowded with people. The town was filled with a carnival atmosphere, as if they were celebrating a grand festival.
"What should we do now?" Wang Lu pointed at the full inn.
"I have something here, but I don't know if it can be used or not." Aya softly said, got off the carriage, and walked to the entrance of the inn. She arrived in front of the little girl and showed her a badge.
The little girl revealed a puzzled look, and then her complexion changed. She looked at Aya up and down in surprise. It was just that, no matter how capable the little girl was, she couldn't see anything from Aya's young face.
"What's wrong? Has it lost its effect? "Aya indifferently asked.
"No, no, please come in, please come in!" The little girl quickly shook her head, stretched out her hand, and pushed open the door of the inn to let Aya in. A moment later, Aya came out with a face full of emotion, and in her hand was a golden key.
"The rules of this inn haven't changed, but the current owner is the sixth generation descendant of that person. That little girl is his daughter. After a hundred years, the badge issued by this inn is still valid. The inn has always reserved the best room for the holder of the badge. However, even the owner of the inn doesn't recognize me. "
"After a hundred years, Aya, your appearance is still the same. Of course, no one would dare to recognize you. You're not from the stars. Don't you people in the Western Continent always grow old very fast … That's right, what's going on in this town, why are there so many people?"
Aya said, "Just now, I heard from that little girl that Golden Flash Town is going to hold a talent selection ceremony. The Dragon City Master will come forward to preside over the selection. Once it is confirmed that the person has the potential to be an outstanding talent, he or she can go to Dragon City with the Master and join the Dragon City Guards."
"Dragon City is the oldest city in Brettonia. It has been the capital of many dynasties, but later it decayed and degenerated. When I was in power, the capital was moved to another place, and Dragon City was severely regulated. I scattered the eight major legions of Dragon City and selected the elites to form the Dragon City Guards. At that time, it was one of the most elite armies in the country. It has the most complete profession, as well as a systematic training method. From the entry level to the high level, the Dragon City Guards have a complete set of training methods. Now that a hundred years have passed, the reputation of the Dragon City Guards seems to be higher than before. To be able to join the Dragon City Guards means infinitely better prospects, which attracted many people from the surrounding areas. That's why there are so many people in this town. This ceremony is held every three years, and it only started in the last ten years, so I have never heard of it. "
"So that's how it is. It's somewhat similar to the Immortal Gathering in Lingjian School."
"Mm, wasn't the Spirit Creek Town also such a scene?" Aya said, "It's just strange. After so many years, Brettonia has experienced earth-shaking changes. I remember that when the country perished, Dragon City was not spared and experienced a big storm … But after a hundred years, Dragon City has completely restored its glory. Is it really because this ancient city has an unexpectedly strong vitality? "
Wang Lu said, "Therefore, let's just watch it quietly from the sidelines." After a pause, Wang Lu looked at the distant square of Golden Flash Town, where a thorough deployment has begun, ready to welcome the upcoming arrival of the Dragon City Master. "I always feel that we will encounter a surprise."
—
The group of people stayed in the inn. As Aya said, the inn left them the most upscale room — the inn owner's own room. During the stay of Aya and the others, the innkeeper's family moved to the villa on the outskirts of the town.
During this period, the innkeeper's daughter was in charge of the room service, a thirteen or fourteen years old delicate and pretty girl. The girl was indeed worthy to be the descendant of an aristocratic family. Although she was young, her professional quality was already quite good. Every day, she would tidy up the room of Wang Lu and the others. Every detail revealed her attentiveness and consideration. Moreover, what was rare was that her cooking skill was not bad. Her three meals a day were often a pleasant surprise. In Brettonia, which was known as a gourmet land, her standard should be considered as first class. In just one day, Liu Li regarded her as a confidant.
The girl's character was lively, and when she was tidying up the room, her mouth was usually busy. Unlike her ancestors who lived here for generations, she showed great curiosity about the outside world. Whenever she had free time, she would pester Wang Lu and the others to ask about the world outside Golden Flash Town, whether the eastern city-states were as prosperous and developed as rumored, and what was the magical thing about the mysterious eastern continent.
Similarly, through the opportunity of chatting, Wang Lu also grasped the outline of what happened in Brettonia in recent years through this girl.
In the past, after the fall of Aya's country, Brettonia was once divided into many vassal states. It was just that, the tangled warfare didn't last too long. Thirty years ago, it was suppressed by a foreign force.
The foreign force was, of course, Holy Light Religion. During the reign of Aya, Brettonia pursued a local religion and was very vigilant against the infiltration of Holy Light Religion. However, after the fall of Aya's country, Holy Light Religion only took more than ten years to sweep Brettonia and establish its authority among all the vassal states. Not to mention the drawbacks, it quickly ended the war and brought peace to this place.
Today's Brettonia did not have a unified regime. The country was composed of hundreds of city-states, among which the most powerful was Dragon City. In addition to its own city, there were more than thirty cities as its vassal. And the relatively weak ones like Red Scale City were basically not worth mentioning.
However, no matter how strong or weak these forces were, they were all under the rule and management of Holy Light Religion. Although there was no unified regime, they had a common belief. In this regard, the little girl was quite dissatisfied.
"I hate those Holy Light Religion people. I always feel that they have bad intentions toward the people of Brettonia. For example, this Dragon City Guard selection ceremony seems to be the appearance of the Dragon City Master, but in fact, it's the Holy Light Religion's selection. Therefore, I don't envy those who are selected. Hehe, don't say these words to anyone. "
The little girl playfully smiled and stuck out her pink tongue.
Wang Lu nodded and softly said, "Is it actually the Holy Light Religion's selection?"
