CH 66

Coming to the alley next to the tavern, Rode opened his soul eye to prevent being followed or eavesdropped on.

Under the visual of the soul eye, people with strong soul fluctuations were far away, and there was only one person closer. According to the route, it should be a patrol of the academy guards.

He was not being monitored.

This was also the strange thing that Rode had felt recently. Since the sewer incident, he had not found any surveillance.

And neither the Internal Affairs Adjudication nor the Military War Department had come to find him.

For a while, he seemed to be an outsider, and those complicated things had nothing to do with him.

Rode didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he had made up his mind. As soon as the invasion was over, regardless of whether anyone came to find him, he would go to the Internal Affairs Adjudication to find Lauren and his teacher, Black Bear, and tell them all the information he knew, using "amnesia cured" as an excuse.

If necessary, he could also provide his Holmes-level investigative reasoning ability to catch the culprit as soon as possible and settle the matter.

"What's the matter? Speak quickly."

Zales said impatiently, "I still have to go back and have breakfast with the beast taming sister."

Rode took out a silver badge. "Zaza, can you confirm whether this thing is true or not?"

Zales took it and looked at it several times. "Hunter's license? What do you want to do? Instead of going to Red Square, why don't you find a way to get into Kassan's room? She has one of the best appearances, although her chest is a bit small. You don't mind that, do you?"

Rode frowned. "Answer my question. I'm in a hurry now."

"Okay, I'll tell you. This thing is almost impossible to imitate. All licenses are actually part of the Hunter's Holy Grail. You can sense the existence of the Holy Grail by imprinting your spirit on it. Similarly, it can also sense you."

"How to imprint?"

"Just input spiritual energy, which is controlled by your spirit. The license card will record the characteristics of your spirit, which is the imprint."

"Is it dangerous?"

"No."

Rode was silent for a moment and asked again, "How much does a hunter's license usually cost?"

"About 5,000, and 8,000 in the academy."

"But I didn't spend any money."

Rode briefly explained the situation.

After listening, Zales laughed. "I guess the boss may have been targeted by the public security officer and was anxious to get rid of this thing. You're really lucky. Okay, I'm going to have breakfast now."

Rode asked one last question, "Is it dangerous if the academy finds out?"

"Yes, Kassan will kill you because you will lose fifty points from the tenth group."

--

Rode hesitated for a moment but chose to believe Zales's words.

He held the silver long card and poured spiritual energy into it.

In an instant, a strange feeling appeared. Rode seemed to touch a huge creature, like a towering beast, dormant in eternal darkness.

The illusion disappeared quickly, and Rode looked at the silver badge. The words "Dawn Blade" were still lingering in the center.

Did it work?

Rode decided to try it.

He wore the Kimberly medal, inserted the spiritual gun into his chest, and brought the soul essence, soul red crystal, red powder, true silver bullet, and thunderstone with him, and walked towards the east gate of the academy.Along the way, Rode saw many first-year students patrolling inside the academy. They were divided into groups by department and scattered throughout the academy. However, they only served to maintain order and conduct training. The real guardians were dispersed in the shadows, and only Rode could detect them.

The duty of guarding the east gate was also replaced by patrolling students, but with the addition of a department teacher to prevent the students from encountering situations they couldn't handle.

Rode arrived at the east gate and explained his purpose to the guarding teacher.

The teacher obviously knew him but still asked him to light up his Kimberly badge before letting him register at the defense department.

At the defense department, Rode presented and lit up his hunter's license.

The captain of the defense team took a deep look at him. "Are you sure you don't want to accept the supervision of the academy?"

"What will happen if I do?"

"I will send someone to follow you to ensure that your destination is legal and safe, and we will bring you back to the academy in advance during dangerous periods. You will need to pay for the cost of the duty personnel separately."

"Is the royal city very dangerous now?"

"At certain times."

"Will the Doomsday Cult openly attack us?"

The captain of the defense team sneered, "Unless they want to commit suicide."

"Then I don't need it."

"But you are only a first-year student."

Rode frowned and took out his special student badge. "I am a special student."

The captain of the defense team didn't say anything else and silently issued him a pass, only registering the time he left.

Alone, Rode walked out of the magnificent Kimberly gate, letting out a long breath of relief.

Finally, he took another step forward.

The street outside the gate was particularly spacious. On one side was the dazzling Kimberly Academy, and on the other side were many horseless carriages parked neatly. New carriages constantly came and went on the road, and people of all kinds came and went, making it very lively.

Rode looked for a moment and noticed that everyone would take out a silver coin and put it into the box at the carriage door before getting on.

Self-service hearse?

Well, I admit that you are really advanced.

Rode walked up to a hearse, took out a silver coin, and stuffed it into the long mouth of the box.

With a click, the gears and bearings turned one by one, and the tightly closed door popped open.

The carriage had two rows of standard seats and a low table in the middle.

The only difference was that there was a blue slate on the low table with an inverted round clock on it.

Rode glanced at it and saw the longest needle moving outward one grid, slowly resetting.

Fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes for one silver coin.

A bit expensive.

It costs ten thousand silver coins to sit for more than ninety days.

Rode put in another coin.

Click.

The round clock moved outward one step and became two grids.

That should be enough.

After sitting down, Rode found that there were many bright spots on the blue slate, with names like "King's Cross Station," "Iron Cross Street Station," "Fire Hammer Street Station," and so on.

These should be the stations he could go to.

Rode remembered Lauren's horseless carriage, which should be the difference between public and private transportation.

No way, do I have to buy a carriage here too?

Rode silently complained and looked up at the top of the slate, where there were two lines of words:

【Please drive safely, do not damage the hearse or the items inside, do not cheat or behave uncivilized in the carriage, this carriage is under surveillance, and any violation of the laws of the king will be severely punished!】The last four words were enlarged and highlighted in red, displaying its powerful deterrent force.

Sigh... it's really the era of spiritual electrical power. It seems that this spiritual car has gone through a lot of ups and downs since its birth.

Humans are really all the same.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Rode quickly found the place he wanted to go.

Iron Cross Block.

This was the place where he previously patrolled as a special student.

Rode had already made up his mind.

If you won't let me go, I'll go by myself.

The defense chief of the Iron Cross Block had a very good impression of him and would definitely not refuse a free laborer.

He could join any team and just like last time, he could go crazy scavenging.

Rode wouldn't be foolish enough to go hunting monsters alone on the streets.

Not to mention the Doomsday Sect, who had become his enemies, even the Internal Affairs Adjudication Court had people watching him. It was very unsafe for him to wander alone on the streets for a long time.

Teaming up was the best choice.

Originally, Rode was prepared to find a passerby to go with him to avoid any accidents on the way, but this spiritual car looked so advanced that it probably wouldn't be attacked.

With his mind made up, Rode pressed the light spot representing the Iron Cross Block.

Bang!

The car moved and hit the backrest.

A stable pushing feeling came, and the spiritual car had already driven onto the avenue and was speeding towards the Iron Cross Block.

For some reason, there were a lot of people in the royal city today. The streets were full of spiritual cars, from small four-wheeled carriages like his to double-decker floating buses.

People lined both sides of the road. They looked decent and well-behaved. Most men wore light-colored robes, with white, yellow, and blue being the most common colors.

Women mainly wore long dresses, with beige, red, and gold being the main colors. Some wore large hats, and some even had veils. When they smiled, they lightly covered their lips, looking very elegant.

Black seemed to be a color that was feared here. Except for a few special groups, no one used this color.

Rode looked at the scenery outside the window, and his thoughts were quickly running.

In his limited experience of leaving the city a few times, the royal city was always desolate, and hardly anyone could be seen.

Why were there so many people today? Was it a special day?

If so, would there still be countless monsters on the streets like that day for him to hunt?

Rode was a little worried.

However, this was the inner city area, and maybe it would be different in the outer city area.

The spiritual car was very fast and quite agile, quickly maneuvering through the crowd of people and spiritual cars.

After a moment, Rode arrived at the foot of the high wall in the inner city area. The guard at the city gate was a student from the academy, and one of them was Beowood, whom he had met at the banquet.

His bear-like figure was very conspicuous, standing in the middle of the road, stopping all the spiritual cars, and checking their documents one by one.

When it was Rode's turn, he didn't hide and opened the car window, greeted him generously, and handed over his pass.

"The First Cause of All Realms."

Beowood was stunned. "It's you."

Then a huge disdain appeared in his eyes. He briefly looked at his pass and threw it back.

"You despicable guy."

Moving aside, the spiritual car quickly drove Rode, who was inexplicably bewildered, past him.

"Did I offend him?"

After thinking for a moment, Rode suddenly remembered what Zales and Annabel had said.

"Oh, I see. Maybe he thought I was going to the Red District Street."As soon as they heard the name, they knew it was probably a place for revelry, and both of them thought that he had obtained a hunter's license to go to such a place.

Heh heh.

You guys underestimate me.

How can the Red District compare to the sisters of the Church Medical Center?

Heh heh heh.

After laughing for a while, Rode thought of Yusef again.

Hmm, I should go back and visit her when I have time.

If it weren't for Yusef, he wouldn't have been able to enter Kimberly Academy, and he might have died in the first invasion.

Both morally and logically, he should go back once.

Yusef also said she would help him treat his amnesia again, although in Rode's current view, it didn't matter anymore since he already knew everything.

But this could also be his excuse.

He could claim that Yusef's treatment was successful, he had recovered his memory, and had revealed all the information he knew.

If the Internal Affairs Judgment Office uncovered the truth and caught the culprit as a result, Yusef might even receive commendation.

Hmm.

Not bad!

This idea is good.

As soon as he survived the invasion, he would go and do it immediately.

Rode's mood became slightly happier, and he wasn't as nervous about the impending fate.

He looked out the window. After crossing the high wall and entering the outer city, the scenery changed drastically.

The light suddenly dimmed, the streets became narrow, the crowds became crowded and noisy, and sewage and debris were visible everywhere. The houses on both sides became messy and old, and the speed of the hearse slowed down.

The constant cries of street vendors flooded his ears.

"Top-grade fuel! Top-grade fuel! One portion can keep your spirit lamp lit for a whole week!"

"Fresh clams just delivered from Qianhu Town! One silver coin per piece!"

"Hot and fresh mushroom soup! Drink a bowl and stay energized all day!"

"Sweet vine fruit jam! Sweet vine fruit jam!"

"The newly released honey from the Flower City!"

All kinds of mobile street vendors shouted loudly, and the air mixed with foul and fragrant smells rushed into his nose, making Rode feel the long-lost breath of life.

This is what the lowest level residents of the royal city look like. Most of them wear simple and old robes, with wrinkled faces, yellow skin, calloused hands, and carefully consider what each silver coin can exchange for.

The hearse slowly but steadily separated the crowd and moved forward.

When it arrived at a circular square, Rode saw a harpist sitting on a fountain, playing melodious music.

The sound of the church bell ringing nearby did not drown out his music.

A large group of half-grown children ran around him, dancing unknown dances. They were shabby and covered in unknown dirt, but their happy angelic smiles couldn't be hidden.

Several women wearing thick cloth clothes looked at them lovingly.

The hearse crossed over here and drove firmly forward.

Suddenly, a little girl ran to the window of the carriage and raised a bunch of flowers high.

"Big brother, do you want flowers? My mother grew these daffodils. She said they are the flowers of love. Big brother can give them to your loved one for just one silver coin."

"It's very fresh. I just picked it. There are still water droplets on the petals!"

"Big brother, do you want it?"

Rode couldn't help but hand over a silver coin.

The little girl's surprised voice came from outside the window, "Thank you, big brother, I'll give you the flowers!"

"No."

Rode leaned over the window and smiled at the skinny little girl.

"I'll give the flowers to you."
