The clouds in the sky were dyed dazzling gold by the bright light of the sun. Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, Qiao Ji and his party had approached the entrance of the town.

The posts at the intersection seemed a little worn, both the pillars and the wall panels were a little furry. Not to mention painting, they didn't even use planes to flatten them. The scars left when cutting off the branches were vaguely visible to Maju and the fences outside the town.

The four guards beside the guards were yawning lazily. The four men felt loose and loose, and they were standing with spears rather than holding spears. The thick cloth armor on their bodies seemed to be shiny, and one of them had obviously not worn a helmet for a long time.

The man on the side was like a leather armor and a long sword hanging on the left side was quite energetic. However, he was busy helping the tax officials on the side of the road to check whether there were caravans underreporting the number of people. Seeing him looking at the truck from time to time when he was checking, he seemed to like this job very much.

There was still a long line in front of Qiaoji and the others waiting to pass the guard post. Since they had arrived at the gate of Huimu Town and were about to enter, they were not in a hurry. But when the sunset was mostly falling into the green grass waves, it was Qiaoji and his party.

The tax officer, who seemed a little hunched, first looked at the convoy of Joe Geji and others, then grabbed the man with his sword who was about to step forward. After staring at the flag held by a rider in the convoy for a while, he walked up carefully.

"Whose adult's convoy is this?" The tax officer's voice seemed a little erratic, probably because of his uneasiness.

The Knight Val replied in a gentle voice: "We are the convoy of Viscount Borham, escorting Lord Lord to Kadara."

"The adults please, I will notify the mayor immediately." The tax officer would turn around and say something to the man with a sword. The man turned around and ran to the town.

"Next, this is the toll." The Knight of Val threw three gold coins at the tax officer.

The tax officer quickly took the gold coins and replied in a somewhat sighing voice: "Sir, you don't need this."

"Law is law. Although some people use their privileges to bypass it, it does not mean that it does not exist. Since some people are unwilling to abide by it, of course, some are willing to abide by it." The answer of the Knight Val was loud, plus the ancient Greek statue-like face and the standard smile with eight teeth. Georgia quickly looked around to see if there was a crazi girl in Huaichun.

After passing the sentry, the convoy quickly entered the town. Looking at Qiao Ji and his group who were leaving, the tax officer murmured to himself: "Is that the legendary noble son Isolde?" Then he slid the gold coins in his hand and thought: "I'm so lucky today, the tax indicators for this month will be completed soon."

As the first stop for the Duke's leadership to enter the Duke's leadership, Huimu Town is the resting supply for many merchants. It is also the payment place for the toll tax on this trade route, so it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Duke's Mansion. Mr. Duz-Er, the mayor, is a daily manager elected by this Taoist, and he is also an arbitration for the town to regulate neighborhood disputes.

As a versatile character, Duzer is naturally good at adjusting interests and contradictions in many aspects. At the same time, he often seizes opportunities to get along with his superiors, colleagues and even subordinates. Otherwise, he would have been unable to serve as the mayor for such a long time when the head of the patrol, tax officials, security officers and even sergeants were all appointed personnel. When he received the news that Lord Bollum's convoy arrived here, he asked the servants to clean several rooms and wait for the guests to check in and prepare dinner, leaving the sergeant who reported the message with a look you know and a can of good quality ale.

Qiao Ji passed by Huimu Town several times before, and he was the first to rush to the road. This was the first time he entered the town with so many people. It was rare to have the opportunity to ride a horse slowly, so Qiao Ji decided to observe the environment here.

After looking around, Qiao Ji seemed a little disappointed. The road was mostly crowded houses, and these houses with high and low undulating heights looked like a city wall. The weathering traces appeared everywhere could be seen to be poorly maintained. The road surface was far from being clean. If it weren't for the news released by the Church of God of Knowledge a few years ago, there would probably be a lot of grains and reincarnations on the ground. Not far ahead, there was a wooden sign with a bed hanging on an inconspicuous small door, indicating that it was a hotel. Qiao Ji had also stayed in the shop, but it was not a good memory.

With the dull sound of horse hooves, everyone came to the square in the center of the town. This is the place where the town holds gatherings, festivals and trading days, and it is also a rare place where stone floors are paved in the town. The Knight Val seemed to be very familiar with this place and let most people wait in the square first, so he led Qiao Ji and his men to the town mayor's house first.

The mayor's house is not far from the south of the square. From the house with a small courtyard, we can see that their family should be a prominent family in the town for generations.

Before I could pass it inside and into the yard, I saw someone coming out of the room. From my clothes, I could see that the person in the lead should be the owner of the room.

The leading man shouted in this direction: "Long time no see Isolde, my old friend! Welcome you. And the noble Lord Bollum, I am very happy to serve you."

The five of them quickly entered the house with the mayor. First, there was a greeting between the Knight Val and the mayor, and then introduced the remaining four people who came together. The mayor arranged for everyone to wash and rest and wait for today's dinner. At the same time, he sent someone to the center of the square to inform Qiao Ji and his group that the rest of the group could set up camp on the spot.

Many guests came to the dinner, except for a few appointed officials, most of the remaining people were well-known figures in the town. Although the food on the dining table was not delicious, it was also sumptuous. Because of the fact that we had to rush tomorrow, Qiao Ji and his party only tasted the drinks briefly. Most of the dining table were exchanged with various experiences and interesting stories, which gave Qiao Ji a much better feeling than a banquet where the nobles wore masks and talked about intrigues. Overall, it was considered a joy for the host and the host.

After the dinner, Qiao Ji and others decided to go back to the square to see the situation in the camp. As soon as they stepped out of the door, a cool breeze blew. It was already autumn, and it was already hot during the day. Although the autumn tiger was still hot during the day, it was already a little cool at night.

A group of five people strolled on the street, and everyone carefully avoided the debris on the road and ignored the curious gazes of the surrounding residents.

"Mr. Val, you know the mayor here." Qiao Ji organized the words in a little entangled manner.

"Do you want to ask me what I said to you at noon?" The Knight Val smiled a little. "The things I told you at noon are methods that work normally in most small towns in the Principality. Of course, if there are situations like today, you can save a lot of money."

The Bart Knight on the side joked: "But Isolde's friendship is really extensive. If he leads the team, no matter which town in the Principality is in charge, he can waive the overnight stay fee."

The Knight Val waved his hand casually; "It's not that exaggerated, if it's one quarter of it, it's already the best."

Except for Isolde, the remaining few people all had constipated expressions, and Georgie felt more like a large group of grass and mud horses were running by.

The construction of the camp was very good. Not only were the tents and sleeping bags properly placed, but all the staff were divided into several batches to take turns to eat. When Joggy and the others arrived, the last batch had already reached the last batch.

As soon as the two knights arrived at the camp, they began to arrange vigil arrangements and defensive arrangements for tonight. Joggy and several other children were asked to study hard. Xiren was specially named by the Knight Val, and asked to conduct relevant school exams later. When they saw the somewhat distorted face of a big brother Gui and the tightly held smiling face of the fake girl Craig, Joggy thought this was really a good adjustment.

The bonfire in the middle of the camp made a crackling sound, and there was a layer of stone at the bottom of the bonfire in the square outside, and fine sand was covered with fine sand. By the bonfire, Georgie calculated the cost of camping today, and bought about 200 pounds of black bread, forty pounds of raw meat and thirty pounds of cheese, and other vegetables. "It's indeed much cheaper than a tavern or hotel. If you buy there, you will have to spend at least twenty-five gold coins." Georgie thought silently in her heart.

He turned around and looked around Qiao Ji and said to the maid who was with him, "Ilena, you can rest in the carriage tonight. You know where the sleeping bag is. If there is no one who is familiar with me or other familiar people, try not to get out of the carriage as much as possible, do you know?"

Irena blinked and nodded without understanding.

Georgie stood up and pressed Elena's shoulder with her hands: "Okay, go back to the carriage now. I have something to discuss with Mr. Val."

After sending Ilena onto the carriage, Georgie turned around and walked towards the direction of the Val Knight.

The Knight Val was teaching Heron a lesson. It seemed that he had not passed the school entrance examination today. However, looking at the Knight who was obviously much burly than the Knight Val had to lower his head and be scolded with his head. It was really funny.

Georgie walked up to the Knight of Val: "Mr. Val, can you spend some time? I want to ask you some questions."

"Gogi, I'm very happy to answer your questions." The Knight Val turned to Sheron and said, "Let you go first."

Xilun just cast a thankful look to Joggi and heard a voice that made him desperate, "Wait a moment, I will answer Joggi's questions first and then discuss what happened just now with you."

Georgie asked, "Mr. Val, did you meet the mayor during your first trip?"

"That's right, I just swore to become a formal knight. Because my father was not old enough to fulfill his obligations as a knight, I went on a trip and hoped to find my own way forward." The face of the Knight Val's face was full of nostalgia, "I met many friends I experienced along the way. Hehe, of course, he also formed some enemies."

"Mr. Naval, will I have the opportunity to travel to the mainland in the future?" Qiao Ji asked with some trepidation.

"I don't know this. You have to ask Lord Viscount." Knight Val immediately changed the subject, "You, Cobbdo and Craig, hurry up and go to Duz's house to rest, and you will have to hurry up tomorrow morning."

Unable to get any answer, Qiao Ji had to go to the mayor's house with Bart and his son. After trying to calm down, Qiao Ji started a routine evening class in the guest room.

But when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Qiao Ji fell asleep. The soft bed was indeed much more comfortable than the sleeping bag.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-" In the hazy state, Qiao Ji seemed to hear a rapid bell.

"Someone sounded the alarm on the bell tower. Is it a fire or an enemy attack?" Qiao Ji, who felt something was wrong, quickly got up and changed his clothes.
