Arriving in the alley next to the tavern, Rhodes opened the eyes of the soul to prevent being followed or eavesdropped.
Under the vision of the soul eye, the people with strong soul fluctuations are all far away, and there is only one closer. According to the route, it should be the patrolling academy guard.
He is not being monitored.
This is also what Rhodes has been feeling strange about recently.
Since the sewer incident, he has never been seen under surveillance again.
Neither the Internal Affairs Bureau nor the Military War Department came to find him.
For a time, he seemed to be an outsider, and those complicated things had nothing to do with him.
Rhodes didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he had already made up his mind that as soon as the invasion was over, no matter if anyone came to him or not, he would go to the Internal Affairs Tribunal to find Lauren and his teacher Black Bear, and tell him everything he knew.
Information, using the excuse that "amnesia has been cured", inform them.
If necessary, he can also provide his Holmes-level detective reasoning skills to catch the murderer as soon as possible and put this matter to rest.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Zales said impatiently:
"I have to go back and have breakfast with the animal trainer sister."
Rhodes took out the silver sign: "Zaza, are you sure this is authentic?"
Zales took it and looked at it several times:
"Hunter's license? What do you want to do? If you have time to go to Hongfang Street, why not find a way to get into Kashan's room? There are not many people who can match her in terms of appearance, but her breasts are a little smaller. You don't mind this, right?"
/p>
Rhodes frowned and said, "Answer my question, I'm very anxious now."
"Well, let me tell you, this thing is almost impossible to counterfeit. All licenses are actually part of the Hunter's Holy Grail. If you imprint your spirit into it, you can sense the existence of the Holy Grail. Likewise, it can also sense yours.
."
"How to brand?"
"Just input your spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is controlled by your spirit. The license plate will record the characteristics of your spirit. This is the brand."
"Is it dangerous?"
"No."
Rhodes was silent for a moment and then asked: "How much does a hunter's license cost?"
"About five thousand, the college has eight thousand."
"But I didn't spend any money."
Rhodes explained the matter briefly.
Zales laughed after hearing this: "I guess the boss may have been targeted by the sheriff and was anxious to get rid of this thing. You are so lucky. Okay, I'm going to have breakfast."
Rhodes finally asked: "If I am discovered by the academy, will I be in danger?"
"Yes, Kashan will kill you, because you will deduct fifty points for ten groups."
——
Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but chose to believe Zales's words.
He held the long silver card and poured spiritual energy into it.
In an instant, an inexplicable feeling appeared. Rhodes seemed to have touched a huge beast. It was like a beast with its head above the sky and the ground, sleeping in the eternal darkness.
The hallucination quickly disappeared. Rhodes looked at the silver medal, and the words "Blade of Dawn" still remained in his afterglow.
Is it done?
Rhodes decided to give it a try.
He put on the Goldworth Medal, inserted the spirit gun into his arms, took the Soul Essence, Soul Red Crystal, Crimson Powder, True Silver Bullets and Thunder Stone, and walked towards the east gate of the academy.
Along the way, you can see many one-year students performing patrol tasks in the academy. They are divided into departments and groups and are scattered throughout the academy. However, most of them only serve as guards, maintain order and train, and are real guards.
They are all scattered in the dark, and only Rhodes can find them.
The guard function of Dongdaemun is also replaced by patrolling students, but a department teacher will be assigned to prevent students from encountering situations that they cannot handle.
Rhodes came to the east gate and explained his purpose to the teacher on duty.
The teacher obviously knew him, but he still lit up the Jinworth badge before asking him to register at the college's defense office.
At the defense office, Rod showed and lit up his hunter's license.
The defense captain looked at him deeply: "Are you sure you don't accept the supervision of the academy?"
"What will happen if you accept it?"
"I will send someone to follow you to ensure that the destination you go to is as legal as the one you registered and there is no danger. During dangerous periods, we will take you back to the academy in advance. You will need to pay the fees of the person on duty separately."
"Is the Royal City in danger now?"
"At some point."
"Will doomsday cultists openly show up and attack us?"
The defense captain sneered: "Unless they want to commit suicide."
"Then I don't need it."
"But you are just a freshman."
Rhodes frowned and took out his special student badge: "I am a special student."
The defense captain said nothing and silently applied for a pass for him, only registering the time he went out.
Walking out of the majestic Jinworth Gate alone, Rhodes let out a long breath.
Finally another step forward.
The street outside the door is particularly spacious. On one side is the dazzling Jinworth College, and on the other side are many horseless carriages parked neatly. New carriages are constantly leaving or entering on the road, and people of all kinds
It’s very lively with people coming and going.
Rhodes watched for a moment and noticed that everyone took out silver coins and stuffed them into the box at the door before getting on the bus.
Self-service hearse?
Okay, I admit that you are really advanced.
Rhodes walked to a hearse, took out a silver coin, and stuffed it into the long mouth on the box.
With a clicking sound, the gears and bearings rotated one by one, and the closed door opened with a pop.
Inside the carriage are standard two rows of seats with a low table in the middle.
The only difference is that there is a blue stone slab on the low table with an inverted round clock on it.
Rhodes took a look and saw that the longest needle had moved outward one space and was slowly being reset.
A quarter of an hour.
One silver cord and a quarter of an hour.
A bit expensive.
It takes ten thousand silver cords to sit for more than ninety days.
Rhodes put in another coin.
Click.
The round clock took a step outward and turned into two grids.
That should be enough.
After sitting on it, Rhodes discovered that there were many small bright dots on the blue slate, which said "King's Cross Station", "Iron Cross Street Station", "Firehammer Street Station" and so on.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This should be the station you can reach.
Rod thought of Lauren's horseless car, which should be the difference between a public car and a private car.
No, you also need to buy a car here?
Rhodes complained silently and moved his gaze to the top of the stone slab, where there were two lines of words written on it:
[Please drive safely, do not damage the hearse or the items inside the car, do not skip the ticket or cheat, and do not engage in uncivilized behavior in the car. This car is under surveillance. Any behavior that violates the king's laws will be severely punished!] The last four words are enlarged and highlighted in red, showing their powerful deterrence.
Damn... It is indeed the age of psychic electricity. It seems that this hearse has experienced a lot of twists and turns from its birth to the present.
Human beings are indeed all the same.
Withdrawing his messy thoughts, Rhodes quickly found where he was going.
Iron Cross Street.
This is the place where he previously performed patrol duties as a special trainee.
Rhodes has already thought about it.
If you don’t let me go, I will go by myself.
The defense minister of the Iron Cross District has a very good impression of him and will definitely not refuse a free worker.
He can join any team and just pick up holes as crazy as last time.
Rhodes will not go out on the streets to hunt monsters by himself like a fool.
Not to mention the doomsday sect that has enmity with him, there are also enemies in the Internal Affairs Bureau who are watching him. It is very unsafe for him to wander the streets alone for a long time.
Teaming up is the best choice.
Originally, Rhodes was planning to find passers-by to go with him to avoid any accidents on the road, but this hearse looked so advanced that there was a high probability that it would not be attacked.
With his thoughts settled, Rhodes pressed the light spot representing the Iron Cross neighborhood.
Bang!
The car body moved and my back hit the armrest.
There was a steady push on the back, and the hearse had already driven onto the avenue, speeding towards the Iron Cross neighborhood.
I don’t know why, but there are quite a lot of people in the Royal City today. The streets are full of hearses, including small four-wheeled carriages like his, and double-decker floating buses.
There are people on both sides of the road. They look decently dressed and well-behaved. Most of the men are wearing light-colored robes. White, yellow, and blue are the most common colors.
The ladies mainly wear long skirts, with beige, red and gold as the main colors. Some of them wear big hats and some have veils. When they smile, they cover their lips slightly, looking very elegant.
Black seems to be a tabooed color here. Except for a very small number of special groups, no one uses this color.
Rhodes looked at the scene outside the window, his mind running rapidly.
In his limited experience of going out of the city, the royal city has always been deserted, with almost no one in sight.
Why are there so many people today? Is it a special day?
If this is the case, will there still be countless monsters on the street for him to hunt like that day?
Rhodes was slightly worried.
However, this is the inner city, maybe it is different in the outer city.
The hearse is very fast and quite flexible, moving quickly through the flow of people and the hearse.
After a while, Rhodes came to the high wall of the inner city. The guards at the city gate were students from the academy, and one of them was Beowood who he saw at the banquet.
His bear-like body was very conspicuous. He was standing on the road, stopping all the hearses, and checking their documents one by one.
When it was Rhodes' turn, he opened the window without covering up, greeted him generously, and handed over his pass.
Baywood was stunned: "It's you."
Then there was huge contempt in his eyes, and he simply looked at his pass and threw it back.
"Dirty guy."
Get out of the way and the hearse quickly drove past with a confused Rhodes.
"Have I offended him?"
After thinking for a moment, Rhodes suddenly remembered what Zales and Annabeth said.
"Oh, I understand, maybe he thought I was going to that Hongfang Street."
As soon as he heard the name, he knew that it was probably a place for fireworks and romance, and both of them thought that he wanted to go to that kind of place when he got his hunter's license.
Haha.
You underestimate me too much.
How can a place as vulgar as Hongfang Street compare to the nuns at the mission medical clinic?
Hey hey hey.
After laughing for a while, Rhodes thought of Aunt Uther again.
Well, I will go back and see her when I have time in the future.
Without Aunt Uther, he would not have been able to enter Kingworth Academy, and he would probably have died in the first invasion.
For reasons and reasons, he should go back once.
Aunt User also said that she would help him treat his amnesia again, although it doesn't matter to Rhodes now, he should know everything.
However, this can also be his excuse.
He can claim that Aunt User's treatment was successful, that he successfully restored his memory and handed over all the information he knew.
If the Internal Affairs Bureau finds out the truth and catches the murderer, maybe Aunt User will be rewarded.
Hmm.
Not bad!
This is a good idea.
As long as you survive the invasion, do it immediately.
Rhodes was in a slightly happier mood and no longer worried about his upcoming fate.
He looked out the window and after crossing the high wall to the outer city, the scene changed dramatically.
The light suddenly dimmed, the streets became narrow, the flow of people became crowded and noisy, cross-flowing sewage and debris could be seen everywhere, the houses on both sides became messy and old, and the speed of the hearse slowed down.
The shouts and shouts on the street filled my ears.
"Excellent phlogiston! Excellent phlogiston! One serving will keep your spiritual lamp burning for a whole week!"
"The clam meat just arrived from Qianhu Town! A piece of it costs only one silver rope!"
"Fresh and hot mushroom soup! One bowl of it will make you feel refreshed all day long!"
"Sweet cranberry jam! Sweet cranberry jam!"
"New honey from the Flower City!"
Various mobile street vendors shouted loudly, and the air mixed with stench and fragrance rushed into his nose, making Rhodes feel the breath of life that he had not seen for a long time.
This is what the residents at the lowest level of the royal city look like. Most of their robes are simple and shabby, their faces are wrinkled, their skin is sallow, and their hands are covered with calluses. They care about what they can exchange for every piece of silver cord.
The hearse slowly but surely separated the flow of people and moved forward.
When it came to a circular square, Rhodes saw a harpist sitting on the fountain, playing melodious music.
The bells ringing in the church not far away did not cover up his music.
A large group of half-grown children ran around him and danced unknown dances. Their clothes were ragged and their faces were covered with unknown dirt, but they could not hide their happy smiles like angels.
Several women wearing thick rag-like clothes looked at them lovingly.
The hearse passed here and drove firmly forward.
Suddenly, a little girl ran to the carriage window and held a bouquet of flowers high.
"Brother, do you want flowers? My mother planted narcissus. She said it is the flower of love. Brother can give it to the one you love for just a silver cord."
"It's very fresh. I just picked it and there are still water drops on the petals!"
"Brother, do you want it?"
Rhodes couldn't hold back and handed over a silver coin.
The little girl's surprised voice came from the car window: "Brother, thank you, I'll give you the flowers!"
"No."
Rhodes looked through the car window and smiled at the skinny little girl.
