Chapter 280: Fortress City: Kalinsha Three Things
There are three large forts on the fortress line.
The Central Fort faces the Abelion Hills, and the South Fort is close to the southern sea. In theory, if you want to reach the South Fort, you must cross the entire fortress line.
Tang Zheng and his party followed the only route from the Kingdom to the Holy Kingdom to reach the Holy Kingdom, so they arrived at Beidun Fort.
Whoosh! A sharp sound of breaking through the air came from the city wall.
An arrow landed in front of the evil dog, forcing the entire carriage to stop.
“Who is it!!”
A vigilant roar came from the city wall.
Crash.
Tang Zheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out. He raised his head to look at the tall battlements where people were surging. He took the adventurer's nameplate from his belt and held it above his head.
"I am the captain of the gold-level adventurer team "Free Will."
There was a brief commotion on the city wall.
Not long after, a narrow wooden door that looked hidden and could only accommodate one person was opened in an inconspicuous location under the city wall.
A small team of soldiers, totaling 15 people, walked out from inside and quickly surrounded Tang Zheng and his group.
All the soldiers had a vigilant look on their faces.
The evil dog looks tall and ferocious, and it is obviously a powerful monster. This team of adventurers is not simple.
Tang Zheng was a little surprised as he looked at the soldiers who surrounded them. He felt that they were too alert. They shouldn't do that just because of the evil hounds.
"Is there a demi-human in the carriage?!"
The captain of the team was a middle-aged man with a brown beard, who stared at Tang Zheng seriously.
I see.
Is there any magic on the city wall that can identify sub-humans, or some kind of magic prop?
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he nodded to the bearded man: "One of my companions is indeed a subhuman."
"What do you mean by the ogre tied up at the back of your carriage?" The bearded man, with one hand still on the weapon at his waist, spoke again.
"I am an alchemist. I can use the blood of subhumans to make some potions. The ogres behind the carriage are used to make potions."
Tang Zheng smiled helplessly and started to explain again after hearing these words.
The bearded man was obviously a little surprised. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, a soldier next to him suddenly walked up and said something in his ear.
"oh?"
The bearded man looked even more surprised, "Did you make the "Regeneration Potion"?"
"If no one else can make it, this potion was indeed made by me." Tang Zheng smiled gently.
"That's amazing, sir."
The bearded man's eyes slowed down, and he lowered his hand from the weapon on his waist. He explained, "Because of the demihuman relationship, it was just a normal inquiry."
"I don't know if you are aware that few people take this border route. Even for caravans, they basically use sea transportation."
"Anyway, welcome, Your Excellency."
After a simple inquiry.
Then a special soldier led Tang Zheng to bypass Beidun Fort and head further north.
The fortress gates of the city wall fortress will not be opened easily.
After the explanation from the soldier leading the way, Tang Zheng realized that they had taken the wrong road and actually needed to go further north to enter the Holy Kingdom.
It is located at the northernmost end of the border, which is the real route for caravans or adventurers to enter the Holy Kingdom.
After actually entering the Holy Kingdom.
After another half day of traveling, they finally arrived at the fortress closest to the city wall, which was also the largest fortress city in the Holy Kingdom - "Kalinxia"! This fortress city, unlike other large cities in the Holy Kingdom, was a direct territory of the Holy King's family.
"Colorless Tranquility" Hotel.
This is the largest hotel in "Kalinsha".
Tang Zheng and his group stayed in this hotel. Their arrival did not cause any big commotion, but they received several warnings from the soldiers in succession.
The spacious room is covered with soft carpet on the floor, and the glass floor-to-ceiling windows make the room appear brighter.
Tang Zheng sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. His observations along the way made him feel more and more that the Holy Kingdom was completely different from the Kingdom and the Empire.
"The status of adventurers in this country is really low." Tang Zheng thought about the attitude of the soldiers along the way, picked up the hot water on the table and took a sip.
Due to the Holy Kingdom's conscription system, it can be said that every citizen is a soldier, which has led to the status of the "Adventurer's Guild" being lower than that of the Baharu Empire.
"Sir, do you want to deal with those blind guys?" The Green Leaf Witch's tone was cold, thinking of the soldiers who had warned them openly and secretly after entering "Kalinxia".
An Li, who was sitting next to her, raised her head. Although she felt that this behavior was not good, she still raised her fist for once: "We didn't do anything. How could they do that?"
Because there are sub-humans in their team.
The soldiers who warned them reminded Tang Zheng's team of adventurers not to leave Kalinxia and go deep into the Holy Kingdom.
"Don't do anything stupid."
Tang Zheng glanced at the Green Leaf Witch, not caring much, and said to the two of them: "The situation in the Holy Kingdom is different from that in the Kingdom."
"The people here are extremely hostile to sub-humans. There is no need for this period of time. Just stay in the hotel."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In fact, this statement is somewhat absolute, such as the "Sea Dragon Statue" built by the Holy Kingdom at Lighthouse Cape.
In terms of diplomacy, they also have relatively good relations with sub-human races such as murlocs, and occasionally trade with sea giants.
But in general, the people of the Holy Kingdom are still extremely hostile to demi-humans.
"Yes." The Green Leaf Witch withdrew the coldness in her eyes and nodded respectfully.
"You've been traveling for such a long time, you two should take a good rest first." Tang Zheng raised his hand and stroked the evil dog lying at his feet, smiling at Anli and the other man.
"Your Highness should also take a good rest."
"yes."
Enri and the Green Leaf Witch left the room one after another.
"Awooo." The evil dog tilted its head and rubbed Tang Zheng's trouser leg slightly.
Tang Zheng reached out, took out a piece of meat from the prop box, and threw it into the evil dog's mouth.
Looking at the evil dog swallowing immediately, Tang Zheng reached out and knocked on its head: "You just finished eating and you're hungry again. Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger now."
The evil dog immediately looked aggrieved: "Oh."
Tang Zheng would not be deceived by the other party's aggrieved expression. He raised his head and looked out the window again: "Can't I leave Kalinxia? It seems that they are investigating my identity."
Whether he could leave Kalinxia and enter the heart of the Holy Kingdom had no effect on him at all.
In the entire Holy Kingdom, there are only three things that Tang Zheng really cares about: the four holy swords!
It just corresponds to the "Four Magic Swords". If the abilities of the Four Magic Swords are similar to those of the [Cursed Knight], then are the "Four Holy Swords" similar to another high-level profession?
The national treasure of the Holy Kingdom!
This is the crown carried by the Holy Queen, a magical item that controls the Grand Ritual Magic "Final Holy War".
Tang Zheng did not know the specific capabilities of this magic. In the original book, the Holy Queen had been captured alive before this grand ritual magic was used.
but.
However, Tang Zheng knew that among the tenth-level magic, there was a magic called "Final War of Good".
If the great ritual magic stored in that crown is really related to the magic of the tenth tier, he needs to get his hands on this national treasure and study it no matter what.
And the last one.
It is the "Sea Dragon Statue". Of course, the statue is not the focus, but the meaning it represents.
"Sea dragons" do exist, and Ning Ya has even seen one with her own eyes. They are two-legged creatures with wings that have long since degenerated. They have a long, thick tail, are huge in size, and are more intelligent than humans.
Tang Zheng was not sure whether this so-called "sea dragon" was really a dragon, a subspecies of dragon, or a special monster.
In short, it needs to be observed.
But overall, Tang Zheng is not worried about any unexpected situations.
In the future, whether Demiurge rules the Apollon Hills or the Holy Kingdom, nothing unexpected will happen, which proves that there is no major threat to these two places.
