    "Stop and tell me who you are."

    Outside Shanjin Town, Wang Lu and his party encountered guards blocking their way.

    Two guards wearing light armor and holding spears crossed their swords in front of the car.  Although in front of the Nightmare Beast, the two mortal guards were blocking it like a mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot, but the posture of the guards was extremely firm.

    "Huh, I haven't lost the spirit of the past." Aya in the car nodded secretly.

    The people of the King of Knights should inherit the spirit of knights, be humble and not inferior, and maintain their posture even when facing opponents who are far superior to them.  It seems now that although the kingdom of knights has perished, the spirit of knights is still passed down.

    "Ridiculous."

    In response, Wang Lu just shook his head, then got out of the car and came to the guard.

    "You two, we are wanderers from the eastern city-states." Wang Lu said in the common language of Xiyi, which is as proficient as the locals, "We are definitely not any suspicious people."

    The guard remained vigilant: ¡°Are there any documents proving this?¡±

    Like many countries in Kyushu Continent, people need roads to prove their identity when migrating.  Some countries in the Xiyi Continent also have similar regulations, especially those under the rule of the Holy Light Sect. Heretics like Wang Lu and his party from the Kyushu Continent must be even more vigilant.  This is the duty of the guards, even if Wang Lu and others are obviously very skilled.

    Wang Lu smiled: "Certificate of certification? Of course there is."

    "As he spoke, Wang Lu took out a cloth bag from his waist, and there was a jingling sound inside the bag.

    "Please check it carefully. The document is absolutely reliable."

    "Hey," Aya said in surprise, "Are you trying to bribe me? Can you please stop joking? They can't do it."

    Before he finished speaking, the two guards chuckled and said: "I understand, it is indeed not a suspicious person. Please come in."

    ?The carriage then drove straight into Gold Flash Town without any obstruction.

    Wang Lu got in the car and smiled at Aya who looked dull: "Haha, it seems that some spirits are more ancient than the spirit of chivalry."

    Aya said reluctantly: "This, this is just an isolated phenomenon. I believe in my people and the spirit of chivalry."

    Wang Lu shrugged: "Yeah, you still believe in love and Santa Claus, right?"

    ¡°Well, even though I don¡¯t know what Santa Claus is, what¡¯s wrong with believing in love?¡±

    Wang Lu sneered, then snapped his fingers at Liulician: "Junior sister, tell her."

    Liulician said while eating the flower cake: "Senior brother taught me that love comes and goes quickly, but only pork rolls are eternal."

    "What the hell are you teaching?"

    During the dispute, the carriage had already entered the center of the town. Shining Gold Town is a place where frequent exchanges occur. There are many inns in the town, but they still cannot meet the needs of the large influx of tourists. Along the way, most of the inns are overcrowded.  Considering that his identity was now sensitive, Wang Lu went straight to a secluded inn under Aya's guidance.

    "Ah, this inn is still operating after such a long time." As the carriage approached the inn, Aya sighed softly, "It's really nostalgic. A long time ago, I lived here briefly when I was inspecting Goldshire. This inn  Although the inn has an inconspicuous appearance and almost no one comes to stay there, it is actually run by a family, and the environment is quite comfortable and the service is very considerate. ¡±

    However, when she arrived at the door of the inn, Aya was surprised to find that many people had gathered here, most of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, and many of them exuded a strong professional aura.

    "Sorry, our store is full and we really can't accommodate more people. Please come back."

    At the door, a young girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with sharp eyes, was going out apologetically to reject the guests.

    "Are you blind? Our master is the only son of the secretary of Boulder City. How dare you be so negligent?"

    "Ah, that's it. I'll explain the situation to the guest who just checked in and ask him to give the room to you, okay?"

    "Huh, you know what I mean"

    "Hmm, the guests just now claimed to be the family of the city lord of Red Scale City. I think since they are the lord of the city, they should be reasonable and understand your difficulties. I will tell them right now."

    "Wait a minute, Lord of Red Scale City? Then, we'd better not use it" A group of people looked disheartened.

    After sending away the only son of the clerk, the little girl let out a soft breath, stood at the door and glanced at the crowd who were still gathering, and shouted loudly: "My house is full, there is no use staying here, you should still say"  Let me discuss with the guests who have already moved in. The most talkative person in the room is the Lord of Scarlet Scales. Do you want me to talk to you?"

    The best people to talk to are city lords?  Although Red Scale City can only be regarded as a third-tier city in Bredonia, it is stillCity Lord.  After hearing this, the crowd finally began to disperse, obviously realizing that there was no point in lingering anymore.

    In the carriage, Wang Lu turned to look at Aya.  Aya looked at the skilled little girl with emotion: "She is exactly the same as her ancestors. The girl who received me back then was also such a little girl. However, there were not so many guests at that time."

    Wang Lu also frowned and said, "There are indeed too many people in the town."

    On the way here, he noticed that there were an unusually large number of tourists in this town. Inns, taverns, shops and other places were all crowded with people. The town had a carnival-like atmosphere, as if they were celebrating some grand festival.

    "What should we do now?" Wang Lu pointed to the fully booked inn.

    "I have something here, I wonder if it can be used." Aya said softly, got out of the car and walked to the door of the inn, came to the little girl, and showed her a badge.

    The little girl looked confused, then her expression changed, and she looked Aya up and down in surprise.  But no matter how good the little girl is, she can't tell anything from Aya's young face.

    "What? Has it expired?" Aya asked calmly.

    "No, no, please come in, please come in." The little girl shook her head quickly, reached out and pushed open the inn door to welcome Aya in.  After a while, Aya walked out with a sentimental look on her face and a golden key in her hand.

    "The rules of this inn have not changed, but the current owner is the sixth generation descendant of that inn, and the little girl is his daughter. After a hundred years, the badges issued by this inn are still valid.  The best rooms are always reserved for people with badges, but even the innkeeper doesn¡¯t recognize me anymore.¡±

    "After a hundred years, Aya, your appearance is still the same. Of course, no one dares to recognize you. You are not from the stars. Don't you people in Xiyi Continent always age very fast By the way, what's going on in this town?  so many people?"

    Aya said: "I just heard from the little girl that Jinjin Town will hold a talent selection ceremony recently. The Lord of Dragon City will preside over the selection. Once a talent with outstanding potential is confirmed, he can go to Dragon City with the Lord to join the Dragon City.  City Guards.¡±

    "Dragon City is the oldest city in Bretonia. It was once the capital of many dynasties, but it later became decadent and decadent. When I was in power, I moved the capital to another place and carried out severe rectification of Dragon City. I broke up Dragon City  The eight major legions were selected from among them to form the Dragon City Guards. It was one of the most elite armies in the country at that time, with the most complete professional mix and systematic training methods, from entry level to advanced, in the Dragon City Guards.  Nowadays, a hundred years have passed, and the reputation of the Dragon City Guards seems to be higher than before. Being able to join the Dragon City Guards means infinite bright prospects, attracting people from many surrounding areas, so people in the town are like this.  This ceremony is held every three years, and it only started in the past ten years, so I have never heard of it.¡±

    ¡°I see, it¡¯s somewhat similar to the Spirit Sword Sect¡¯s Immortal Ascension Conference.¡±

    "Well, wasn't Lingxi Town the same scene back then?" Aya said, "It's just strange that so many years have passed, during which Bretonnia has experienced earth-shaking changes. I remember that Dragon City was not spared when the country was destroyed.  , experienced a big stormand a hundred years later, Dragon City has completely restored its glory. Is it really because this ancient city has unexpected vitality? "

    Wang Lu said: "So just watch quietly for now." After a pause, Wang Lu looked at the square of Jinjin Town in the distance. Careful arrangements had already begun in the square to prepare for the coming Lord of Dragon City.  "I always feel that I will encounter surprises."

    The group of people stayed at the inn. As Aya said, the inn left them with the most upscale guest room - the innkeeper's own room.  While Aya and others stayed overnight, the innkeeper's family moved to a villa on the outskirts of the town.

    During this period, the person in charge of room service was the daughter of the innkeeper, a pretty girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.  The little girl is worthy of being a descendant of the family. She is not very old, but her professional quality is already quite good. She tidies the rooms of Wang Lu and others every day, and every detail shows care and consideration.  And what¡¯s rare is that her cooking skills are excellent, and her three meals a day are always surprising. In Bretonia, which is known as the best place for gourmet food, she should be considered first-class. It only took Liuli Xianjie one day to cook  Consider him a confidant.

    The little girl has a lively personality and usually can¡¯t stop talking when she is cleaning up the service in the room.  Unlike her ancestors who had settled here for generations, she showed great curiosity about the outside world. When she had time, she would pester Wang Lu and others with endless questions about what the world outside of Gold Shine Town was like, and what the eastern city-states were like.  Is it as prosperous and developed as the rumors say? What is so magical about the mysterious Eastern Continent?

    Similarly, through the opportunity of chatting, Wang Lu also got an outline of what happened in Bredonia in recent years through this little girl.

    After the fall of Aya in the past, Bretonnia was once divided into many vassal states.The melee between the princes did not last long. Thirty years ago, it was suppressed by an external force.

    The external force is of course the Holy Light Sect.  During Aya's reign, Bretonia practiced local religion and was very wary of the infiltration of the Holy Light Religion.  However, after Aya's fall, it only took the Holy Light Religion more than ten years to sweep through Bretonnia and establish its authority among all the princely states.  Putting aside the shortcomings, the war was quickly ended and peace was brought to this place.

    Today's Bretonnia does not have a unified political power. The country is composed of hundreds of city-states. The most powerful among them is Dragon City. In addition to the city, there are more than 30 cities as vassals.  The relatively weak ones like Red Scale City are basically not worth mentioning.

    However, no matter how strong or weak these forces are, they are actually under the rule and management of the Holy Light Religion. Although there is no unified political power here, there is a common belief.  The little girl was quite critical of this.

    "I hate those people from the Holy Light Religion. I always feel that they have bad intentions towards the Bretonians. For example, the selection ceremony of the Dragon City guards. It seems that the Lord of Dragon City is coming, but in fact it is the Holy Light Religion.  Select people, so I don¡¯t envy those who are selected at all. Hehe, you must never say these words.

    The little girl smiled playfully and stuck out her pink tongue.

    Wang Lu nodded and said softly: "Is it actually the Holy Light Religion that is selecting people?"
