The next day, early morning.

Under the farewell of the village chief and Rachimon, Tang Zheng left Carne Village.

Until now.

Rachimon felt relieved.

From the first moment he saw Tang Zheng, his instinct told him that the other party was a very dangerous man, and he had never heard of anyone being able to subdue a monster like Barghest.

Especially.

Rachimon's throat moved slightly.

The Lesser Barghest that seemed to be showing affection towards that man, its true attitude was clearly one of fear!

Glancing at the relieved look of the village chief next to him, Rachimon knew that the village chief did not take his words to heart.

"Hey." Rachimon sighed.

Fortunately, the man had no ill intentions towards the village.

After Tang Zheng left Carne Village, he no longer suppressed his speed, grabbed Lesser Barghest, and moved forward quickly.

Along the way.

There were only sporadic beasts, and Goblin and monsters were not seen at all.

Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng realized that no wonder Adventurer's Guild sent an adventure team to investigate. The impact of his hunting of monsters and Goblin in the past month was much greater than he expected.

Judging from the fact that he did not encounter a team of adventurers in the jungle and the information obtained by Carne Village, Adventurer's Guild probably did not obtain any useful information.

Since there are no obstacles from monsters, coupled with the improvement in strength.

Just two hours.

Tang Zheng has already seen "E-Rantel" in the distance.

You must know that it took him a whole day to leave "E-Rantel" and arrive at Carne Village.

Three city walls surround the entire city. Under the solid majesty, the roughness and thickness revealed give anyone approaching here an invisible sense of oppression.

Checkpoint below the gate.

Several soldiers were gathering together, chatting casually and relaxing.

As a soldier of Fortress City, naturally we cannot be so undisciplined, but the time now is still too early.

For places like the border, travelers and caravans will choose a relatively safe time to set off. Surrounding villages will not come at this time either.

Even though during this period, the number of harassing monsters and annoying Goblin suddenly decreased a lot, it still did not change the travel time of most people.

In short, now is not the time to be busy.

"Hey, hey, stop playing, someone is coming." A soldier suddenly saw a figure in the distance and reminded his companions.

"Really, so early."

Another soldier yawned, stood up, and looked into the distance as well.

But soon.

The eyes of the two lazy soldiers became serious.

The closer we get to "E-Rantel", the more Tang Zheng can't help but marvel at the thick city walls of Fortress City.

Although this is not the first time I have seen it, if there is no magic, a huge city like Fortress City cannot be built purely by manpower.

"Woo."

Lesser Barghest followed closely behind Tang Zheng, his head kept turning, looking around, obviously very curious about everything around him.

Walk into the city gate.

Tang Zheng glanced at the two soldiers guarding the door of the checkpoint, reached into his pocket, took out the copper coins he had prepared and handed them over.

Unexpected.

The soldier did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at Tang Zheng a little seriously.

"Sir, are you an adventurer?"

The soldier glanced at Lesser Barghest carefully, and then asked respectfully.

"No." Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

"Is this so?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and was obviously a little surprised by the answer. He looked at each other with the other soldier and spoke cautiously:

"Sir, I don't know if I can issue a pass permit."

Passage permit?

Tang Zheng I heard the "Rock" team mentioned this thing.

Li Yestije Kingdom Except for Royal Capital, in the main cities in the noble territories of other major regions, you need to pay tolls for entry and exit, which can also be called walking tax.

Of course, residents of their own territories will receive certain preferential treatment, and even some generous nobles will directly waive this part of the fee.

To have such preferential treatment, you need to have a pass permit specially issued to each village in the territory in lieu of "toll fees".

Tang Zheng Of course there is no such thing.

The problem is, this soldier should also know. Just by looking at his hair color, he can confirm that Tang Zheng is not a resident of this territory.

Tang Zheng The first thought in his mind was whether something happened to "E-Rantel".

To know.

When I came to "E-Rantel" a month ago, there was no obvious warning behavior. You only had to pay the toll and you could enter and exit at will.

It probably has nothing to do with his actions in Great Forest of Tob.

At least.

Tang Zheng doesn't think killing some Goblin will have such an impact.

See Tang Zheng shook his head to express no.

There was no surprise on the soldier's face, because the other person was really talented and had a problem.

"Sorry, Your Excellency."

"Can you let our Magic Caster check your belongings?" The soldier was a little nervous and spoke cautiously.

There were monsters following him, and they were obviously no ordinary people.

If the other party is an adventurer, they don't need to do such offending things.

After listening to these words.

Tang Zheng has realized that something must have happened in "E-Rantel".

"Can you tell me what happened?" Tang Zheng did not agree immediately, but spoke expressionlessly.

"This..." The soldier had a troubled look on his face.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, another soldier standing on one side who was paying attention seemed to have remembered something and walked over quickly.

"Are you the one who was with Mrs. Bareare last time?" Another soldier came over and took a closer look at Tang Zheng's appearance, and said in surprise.

Black hair color is rare. Although it has been a month, it is still impressive.

As soon as the name came out.

The soldier just now had a surprised look on his face. "Lizzie·Bareare pharmacist?"

Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that his grandmother Lizzie's pharmacy workshop was very famous in "E-Rantel", and he had already felt it the last time they went to the city together.

But this time, Tang Zheng could clearly feel that he still seemed to underestimate Lizzie·Bareare's reputation in this city.

"That's right."

Tang Zheng nodded slightly.

"Is that so?" The soldier who proposed the inspection showed a hesitant look on his face, and looked at the other soldier again.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency."

"This is an order from above, and we don't know why we do this."

The soldier looked apologetic and spoke in a low voice.

Tang Zheng waved his hand carelessly, and the copper coin in his hand was immediately collected by another soldier and then released.
