Pass Permit? Something Happened in E-Rantel?
Chapter 70 Pass Permit? Something Happened in "E-Rantel"? The next day, early morning.
With Village Chief and Lachimo seeing him off, Tang Zheng left Karn Village.
Only now.
Did Lachimo feel a sense of relief.
From the first moment he saw Tang Zheng, his intuition told him that the other man was very dangerous, and he had never heard of anyone being able to tame a monster like the Evil Spirit Dog.
Especially.
Lachimo's throat bobbed.
That Small Evil Spirit Dog, which seemed to be affectionate towards that man, was actually showing fear! He glanced at the Village Chief beside him, who looked carefree, and Lachimo knew that the Village Chief hadn't taken his words to heart.
"Sigh." Lachimo sighed.
Fortunately, that man had no ill intentions towards the village.
...
After leaving Karn Village, Tang Zheng no longer suppressed his speed, grabbed the Small Evil Spirit Dog, and moved forward quickly.
Along the way.
There were only a few scattered wild animals, and no Goblins or monsters were seen at all.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng realized that no wonder the Adventurer's Guild had sent out an Adventurer squad to investigate. The impact of his hunting monsters and Goblins over the past month was much greater than he had expected.
Judging from the fact that he hadn't encountered any Adventurer squads in the forest and the information he had obtained from Karn Village, the Adventurer's Guild probably hadn't obtained any useful information.
Due to the absence of monsters hindering him, and the increase in his strength.
In just two hours.
He could already see "E-Rantel" in the distance.
He should remember that it took him a whole day to get from "E-Rantel" to Karn Village.
Three city walls surrounded the entire city, and the rough and heavy feeling emanating from the solid and majestic structure gave anyone approaching it a kind of invisible pressure.
At the checkpoint below the gate.
Several soldiers were gathered together, chatting casually and relaxing.
As soldiers of a fortress city, they naturally shouldn't be so lax, but it was still too early.
In border areas like this, travelers and caravans 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 period, it still hadn't changed most people's travel times.
In short, it wasn't a busy time yet.
"Hey, hey, stop playing, someone's coming." A soldier suddenly saw a figure in the distance and reminded his companion.
"Really, so early."
Another soldier yawned, stood up, and looked into the distance as well.
However, soon.
The eyes of the two somewhat lazy soldiers became serious.
The closer he got to "E-Rantel", the more Tang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at the heavy city walls of the fortress city.
Although it wasn't the first time he had seen it, such a huge city like a fortress city could never be built solely by human power without the existence of magic.
"Woof."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog followed closely behind Tang Zheng, turning its head non-stop, observing its surroundings, obviously very curious about everything around it.
Walking into the city gate.
Tang Zheng glanced at the two soldiers guarding the checkpoint entrance, reached into his pocket, took out the Copper Coins he had prepared, and handed them over.
Unexpectedly.
The soldier didn't reach out to take them, but instead looked at Tang Zheng with a slightly serious expression.
"Sir, are you an Adventurer?"
The soldier carefully glanced at the Small Evil Spirit Dog, then respectfully asked.
"No, I am not." Tang Zheng frowned slightly.
"Is that so."
The soldier paused briefly, clearly a little surprised by this answer. He exchanged a look with the other soldier, then cautiously said, "Sir, I wonder if you could produce a Pass Permit."
Pass Permit? Tang Zheng had heard the Rock Squad mention this.
In the Re-Estize Kingdom, apart from the Royal Capital, the main cities in the territories of the nobles in other regions require a toll to enter and exit, which can also be called a pedestrian tax.
Of course, residents of their own territory receive certain preferential treatment, and some generous nobles even waive this fee altogether.
To receive such preferential treatment, one needs to have a Pass Permit specifically issued to the various villages within the territory, serving as a substitute for the "toll."
Tang Zheng naturally didn't have such a thing.
The problem was, the soldier should also know this. Based on his hair color alone, it could be determined that Tang Zheng was not a resident of this territory.
The first thought that came to Tang Zheng's mind was whether something had happened in E-Rantel.
You should know.
When he came to E-Rantel a month ago, there was no such obvious vigilance. After paying the toll, one could freely enter and exit.
It shouldn't be related to his actions in the Tove Great Forest.
At least.
Tang Zheng didn't think that killing some Goblins would cause such an impact.
Seeing Tang Zheng shake his head to indicate he didn't have one.
The soldier's face didn't show any surprise, because it would be strange if he did.
"I'm sorry, sir."
"Could we have our Magic Caster briefly inspect your belongings?" The soldier asked nervously and cautiously.
Traveling with a magical beast, he was clearly no ordinary person.
If the person was an Adventurer, they wouldn't need to do something so offensive.
After hearing these words.
Tang Zheng realized that something must have indeed happened in E-Rantel.
"Could you tell me what happened?" Tang Zheng didn't agree immediately, but asked with a blank expression.
"This..." The soldier's face showed a troubled expression.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, another soldier who had been standing to the side paying attention to the situation seemed to remember something and quickly walked over.
"Are you the one who was with Lady Bareare last time?" The other soldier walked over and, after clearly seeing Tang Zheng's appearance, said in surprise.
Black hair was already rare, and although a month had passed, he still remembered it clearly.
As soon as this name was mentioned.
The soldier who had suggested the inspection showed a surprised expression: "Lizzie Bareaure, the apothecary?"
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew that Grandmother Lizzie's apothecary shop was very famous in E-Rantel, and he had already felt it when they entered the city together last time.
But this time, Tang Zheng could clearly perceive that he seemed to have underestimated Lizzie Bareaure's reputation in this city.
"That's right."
Tang Zheng nodded lightly.
"Is that so?" The soldier who had proposed the inspection showed a hesitant expression, and exchanged a few more glances with the other soldier.
"I'm very sorry, sir."
"This is an order from above; we don't know why we're doing this either."
The soldier spoke apologetically in a low voice.
Tang Zheng waved his hand dismissively. The Copper Coins in his hand were immediately collected by another soldier, and then they were allowed to pass.
