Chapter 94 Wangshan City

Although the walls of Wangshan Fortress are inwardly polygonal stars, the internal roads and buildings are still in order. The space between the inwardly sunken corners of the star is originally some fortifications for use when siege. However, when the fortress is converted from military to civilian, these spaces are all changed to residential space after being cleared, and a small part is allocated to urban security garrisons as barracks, while most of them are used as residential areas for citizens.

.dt.com residential areas are all around the corners. The large space vacant in the middle was originally used for barracks and training grounds during the military period. Now in the civil period, it has been changed to public facilities and commercial facilities. Although the city covers an area of ​​80 square kilometers and is very large, due to shape problems and original use, there is not much space available for use. Except for the residential areas placed in the corners, there is not much space left for each merchant to use. But even so, the central area of ​​this important transportation site connecting the two countries is still very lively, with merchants and travelers constantly coming and going. Even before and after the city gate is closed, vehicles carrying large quantities of goods will still be crowded on the streets, and sometimes even completely blocked the streets.

However, this is just a normal scene, but today it is particularly strange. Not only are there few pedestrians on the streets, but there is no carriage for freight. The crowding and busyness it should have is gone, leaving only an empty visual effect, which makes people feel that this is an empty city. Of course, Catherine has never really seen the way Wangshan Fortress should be, but whether it is from the stories left by her ancestors or from the guild's introduction to this fortress, you can understand the excitement here as it should be. So even if you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, Catherine can still judge that it is absolutely not normal here.

However, despite having doubts in mind, Catherine still did not go to ask about the situation with the guards who stood guard at the city gate. Although she used the method she had just used, it was very likely that the guards would choose to tell her the situation because they were afraid of her identity, but the nature of the Knight girl made her not far away forcibly suppressing others from violating military discipline. Therefore, after confirming that the abnormal situation did not affect the normal operation of the city, that is, it was not a particularly dangerous or serious problem, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, after entering the city, there was only the hotel to find accommodation, and there was time to understand the abnormalities in the city.

Unfortunately, the idea of ​​the Knight Girl failed. Because she was next to a main road in the city, two people, or not only her. The seven people were all these two people. In fact, there was nothing strange about these two people. They were golden-level professionals. They stood in front of a building, dressed in gorgeous and decent clothes, with a serious expression, and glanced sharply at both sides of the street. On the long street, every dark corner could shake blurred shadows. In other words, dozens or even hundreds of people had already vaguely controlled this main road. Although there was no substantial blockade, a few passers-by were carefully bypassed by these people, and were unwilling to pass through this road again.

"I think I know about the abnormality I have felt these days." Catherine sighed and said with a wry smile: "Does they have to set up such a big ceremonial guard every time they travel?"

"Tsk tsk, there is no way, they need to use this method to declare their differences from ordinary residents." Panis shrugged and teased: "If they don't do this, how can they show their noble status and status."

Catherine and Panis would say this. It was because they had seen two people standing on both sides of the building and knew the identities of these two people. So once they were, the two of them had basically guessed the general situation. Panis scratched his head and asked Catherine in the inquiring eyes of others: "What are your plans? Do you take a detour?"

"In the past, it was a normal business tavern. It was not their private property, so there was no need to detour." Catherine didn't care at all and said with a smile: "And, anyway, this matter is related to their family, so she just happened to ask him to cooperate, so that we can go there and find someone to negotiate."

"Who is it, sister." Lina, the most curious, finally couldn't help it, and approached Catherine and whispered: "It sounds like you all know each other? Why have I never seen these two people? We're together most of the time."

"Nothing, it's just an annoying guy, at least it was." Catherine's smile on her face was a little weird. She didn't answer Lina's question directly. After making a perfunctory sentence, she walked over to the tavern where the two were. Panis shrugged under Lina's threatening gaze and said, "Nothing, they are just two bodyguards. Tsk tsk, the golden-level professional is a bodyguard. Who would you guess?"

Catherine ignored the group of good things behind her and muttered in secret, leading everyone into the range of the long street. The moment she stepped into the range, the figures hidden in the shadow seemed to pause for a moment, and then all her attention was focused on several people, and the momentum of dozens of people gathered together, filling the empty long street with the aura of Xiao Sha.

However, these dozens of people were obviously just some strong ordinary people and low-level professionals. Even though they were well-trained and concentrated their momentum, they still could not have any impact on the powerful legendary professionals. Faced with this aura that could scare ordinary people away, the seven people walked leisurely to the door of the building as if they had no feeling, ignoring the increasingly strong hostility. However, the two golden-level bodyguards in front of the door did not show hostility. The two just stood there with a embarrassed expression on their faces. Serene was getting closer and closer, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"Long time no see you two." Catherine did not show too much oppression, but said with a faint smile: "It has been almost two years since the Saint Capital parted. Has everything been going well in the past two years?"

"It turns out it's Miss Catherine." The two golden-level bodyguards said with a dry smile: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

"That's good." Catherine nodded reservedly and signaled to the gate: "Mr. Nicholas is inside?"

"Yes, Miss Catherine." One of the Golden Stage bodyguards replied: "Your Highness is meeting with representatives from all walks of life in the city, striving to understand and grasp the situation of the people in Wangshan City."

"Do you understand the people's sentiments? Haha." Catherine's blocked street looked to the street with no freight vehicles farther away. The Knight's etiquette made her not make too mean comments. She just smiled meaningfully twice, shook her head and asked, "We have something to talk to him. When will he end there?"

"We don't know much about this." The bodyguard smiled dryly and scratched his head, saying helplessly: "Your Highness has been sitting in it for more than an hour. It is said that it is about to come out, but Your Highness has no other itinerary tonight. If you are interested, it is possible to chat with the people inside for a while."

"Huh, then let's go inside and wait for him." Catherine sighed and asked a bodyguard with a calm look: "You two don't want to stop us."

"Uh, yes, how is this possible?" The bodyguard smiled even more embarrassedly: "You are your highness's friend. We can't stop you from meeting your highness in any case. Please come in quickly. Uh, and you masters, please let me go together."

"Thank you two, then." Catherine was not surprised at the bodyguard calling his teammates the master. A year ago, the members of the adventure group concentrated on upgrading to legend and became the strongest average strength of the Golden Level Adventure Group in Yara. This matter may have spread to various forces in the world long ago. If the other party was the bodyguard of the Faral Empire royal family, but did not know that all the members of their team were legendary masters, that would be strange. Therefore, Catherine just politely bowed her bodyguards, and let the two bodyguards help him push open the door of the tavern and walked in slowly. Of course, the two bodyguards did not accompany Catherine, but continued to guard the door with great responsibility. As gold level professions, they also had their own professional ethics. Since they accepted the recruitment of their employer, they would do their own tasks conscientiously, even if they helped the employer do their job well as the Golden level.

"Sister, do they call the person inside His Highness?" When you walk into the gate, you will see a longitudinal corridor with several closed doors on both sides of the corridor. At the end of the corridor, there is a double-open door, and the interior should be the hall of the tavern. According to common sense, as a private room in the tavern, there should be several waiters at the entrances of several doors, waiting for the call of the guests at the private room at any time. The door of the hall should be open and filled with noisy people. However, there are no waiters on the private rooms on both sides. Then, outside the hall, there are two waiters waiting. As soon as you enter the door, Lina asked in a low voice: "You should be a prince of the Faral Empire, a friend you met when you were studying?"

"That's right, the second prince of the Faral Empire." Catherine nodded and said, "It's not a friend. He once pursued me, but I clearly refused. Two years ago, when you secretly went to the Naren Kingdom Research Institute, Pennis and I happened to meet them, including the two bodyguards outside, so I guess who it was inside."

"Ha, it turns out to be my elder sister's suitor." Lina glanced at Panis in an unknown way and said, "Tsk tsk, then he is so pitiful. I feel a little sympathetic to him."
