The treasury can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire Doguland. The laurel flower king flag stretching at the main entrance is flapping in the wind, symbolizing that it belongs to the king.

With the main entrance as the center, there are watchtowers built every fifty meters. The buildings are all dark and filled with a cold and murderous atmosphere, like giant spears piercing the sky.

There is a guard post on the tower all year round, and the most elite royal guards are on duty here at all times. Occasionally, you can see dazzling reflections from the roof, which are metal arrows ready to kill the enemy at any time.

The four people now walking towards the treasury include a "finance minister" with the title of prince, a former "governor" of Fenghuo Province, a current "acting governor" of Fenghuo Province, and a "consul" of a city directly under the jurisdiction of the city.

Any one of these four people is a powerful person, and their combined energy is enough to cause an earthquake in the kingdom's political arena.

However, "identity" is of no use in the treasury.

All the imperial guards who are on duty at the general treasury strictly abide by the iron-clad rules passed down from the beginning of the founding of the country and only recognize official documents, not people.

Without relevant documents, no one is allowed in, regardless of your position.

Even if the king himself comes, he will not be allowed in without documents.

Such an anecdote happened at the entrance of the general warehouse in the past.

One day, Perseus finished a meeting. Because the meeting place was right next to the main warehouse, he wanted to stop by the main warehouse to check the relevant inventory, but he didn't have the documents in hand. He thought that he could go in just by saying hello to the main warehouse guard.

Already.

But who would have expected that the captain of the guard on duty that day was not accommodating. He said he would not let His Majesty the King in, but led people to stop him, and refused to give him life or death without documents.

In the end, Perseus was forced to take a detour and returned to his office. He wrote a handwritten letter to himself and stamped it before he could enter, which made him very embarrassed.

The ministers thought that Perseus would punish this ignorant captain of the guard, but the result was exactly the opposite.

After that incident, not only was the captain of the guard not punished for blocking the king, but he was praised as an example by Perseus and promoted to a noble rank. All the royal guards who participated in the blocking were all highly praised.

Perseus did this to tell others that rules are rules and no one can be bad, not even the king.

Secondly, Perseus also used this to support the imperial guards of the treasury. If he had forced his way into the treasury that time, and if other ministers tried to break into the treasury in the future, the imperial guards would be powerless to stop him.

Perseus sets an example by himself and handles official business, so the royal guards will naturally have the confidence to do so. The king dares to stop him, but who do you think he is?

It can also be seen from this that the general library is a very serious place, not a place for children's play.

At this time, Baodian led the three people towards the general warehouse. The imperial guards stopped them at the door and said expressionlessly: "My lords, do you have the relevant documents to go to the general warehouse?"

"Of course, please take a look." Baldian, as the finance minister, knows the rules better than anyone else, and handed over the king's decree.

The imperial guard checked that everything was correct, nodded and said, "My lords, please remove all metal products and come here for inspection."

Qino and Resakhar were both local officials. It was their first time to come to the general warehouse and they were not clear about the procedures here.

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

The body search was correct, but the person who carried it out was not the imperial guard.

I saw the imperial guards taking away the metal objects they handed over and putting them into a sealed safe. Then they opened an iron cage in the corner and pulled out a strange beast from inside.

This alien beast is similar in size to a wolfdog, with shoulders as high as an adult's waist, and its skin is a metallic copper color. From a distance, it looks like a moving bronze sculpture.

The iron-swallowing beast is one of the rare and rare beasts in this world, and its rarity is comparable to that of a unicorn.

Iron-eating beasts are born with copper skin and iron bones, and they like to eat metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron. They can smell the smell of metal keenly, which is indispensable for stealing treasures and carrying them to graves. They are natural compasses for treasure hunting.

The iron-eating beasts raised by the treasury have been specially trained to sniff out people entering and leaving the treasury. Metal is not allowed into the treasury, and the same applies when leaving the treasury.

In a place like the treasury, which is rich in treasures, foreign thieves are always worried about it. Over time, it is inevitable that insiders will have other thoughts and guard and steal. The iron-eating beast is the nightmare of these lawless people.

No matter where the thief hides the stolen property, whether in his pocket or in his shoes, even if it is swallowed, the iron-eating beast can smell it from his breath.

However, although the name, appearance, and diet of the iron-swallowing beasts are very domineering, their character is very gentle and cowardly, and they have little fighting power. Otherwise, with their copper skin and iron bones, they would not become rare beasts in the wild.

No, after this iron-eating beast was brought out, it first sniffed on Baldian and Edward, and while sniffing, it wagged its tail and begged to touch it. After being slapped by the guard, it turned around and sniffed on Kino.

Smell it.

Perhaps it was the strawberry smell on Kino that made the iron-swallowing beast find it novel. It sniffed it for a long time, which made the imperial guards become wary.

But soon, the iron-eating beast silently walked away.

The last person to be inspected was Lesakhar. The iron-swallowing beast sniffed him, and suddenly his breathing increased, his body stagnated, and he turned his head and howled to warn the imperial guards.

The royal guards quickly surrounded Resakhar, and the soldiers on the watchtower also locked him in place.

"Ah?" Resakhar was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused. He opened his eyes wide and touched around on his body, "I have taken out all the metal products, why are you shouting at me? Is it a mistake?"

Lesakhar was touching, and when his fingertips touched his shirt, he touched something hard. He immediately slapped his forehead with regret: "Damn it, my inner lining buttons are made of metal."

Resakhar took off his coat and the shirt he was wearing underneath. As he said, the buttons on the shirt were made of silver.

The iron-swallowing beast sniffed the buttons on the shirt, then sniffed around Lesakhar's body carefully. Without saying a word, it obediently crawled to the ground and lazily tickled its ears with its hind paws.

"Uh, hahaha, you misunderstood me for leaving my shirt here." Resakhar put the shirt aside, put on his coat and walked inside.

However, before he had even taken two steps, he was stopped again.

The imperial guard said expressionlessly: "Please come back."

Resakhar said awkwardly: "No, I just didn't pay attention to my shirt."

"According to the law, those who secretly hide metal products and attempt to enter the treasury will be arrested on the spot. If it is an unintentional mistake, they do not need to be arrested, but they need to apply for customs clearance documents again." The imperial guard remained expressionless and repeated those three words,

"Please come back."

Resakhar was on the verge of tears and completely lost his temper. He had also heard about Perseus being stopped by the guards here. He knew that the rules here were rigid. If it works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't work. If it doesn't follow the rules, the king will come.

That's not enough, let alone an acting governor.
