Chapter 120: Deterrence

Boom!

As if a silent explosion was spreading, all the surrounding family teams looked horrified, and some family teams who had sent people to test the Campbell family just now were sweating coldly on their foreheads.

Just a little bit, really just a little bit, and they got into trouble with a terrifying family.

This family actually has an official knight!

At first I thought it was a piece of fat, but I didn’t think it was fat. This is simply the hardest diamond, not only can’t be bitten, but it will also break my teeth.

Fortunately, he has not acted yet, otherwise he would really be kicked to the iron plate.

With Sean's escort, the Campbell family and their group traveled unimpeded all the way, and finally arrived at the capital on the tenth day.

"I didn't expect to come back so soon!"

Looking at the 20-meter-high city wall, Sean sighed in his heart.

Originally, he thought that it would take at least a year before he came back after leaving the capital, but he didn't want to be forced to come back again in just a few months.

"However, it's okay."

Thinking of his "old acquaintance" in the capital, Xiao En sneered in his heart.

It's time to resolve the feud with the Lund family!

Now, he is as powerful as the strong in the kingdom, and has become one of the strongest people in the kingdom. He no longer needs to be afraid of the Lund family. Rather, the Lund family should fear him in turn.

"What? Such a high entrance fee? And it's calculated on a per capita basis. You guys are robbing!"

Like Xiao En and the others, there seemed to be quite a lot of teams fleeing to the capital. There was a long queue at the gate of the city. The front line was a family of about a hundred people. The one who roared at this time was this The head of the family.

To enter the capital, he needs to pay an entrance fee. He knows this, after all, he has been to the capital before.

However, what he didn't expect was that the entrance fee to enter the royal capital was as high as ten gold coins, and it was calculated on a head-to-head basis. With more than a hundred of them, the entrance fee alone would cost a thousand gold coins. Robbery is no different.

"Ten gold coins per person, if you like to pay or not, if you don't pay, then leave quickly and don't block the people behind."

The little leader guarding the gate chuckled, his eyes full of contempt.

Although he is just a small gatekeeper, he has seen many big people. How could he be frightened by the roar of a small family patriarch from a remote city in front of him.

"You, you..., okay, I'll hand it over."

Facing the contemptuous eyes of the little gatekeeper, the patriarch of the family's eyes spit fire, but finally he gritted his teeth and handed over more than a thousand gold coins aggrieved.

Nowadays, if the fortress is lost, the only place that can truly be regarded as safe is the royal capital, no matter how expensive the entrance fee is, it can only be paid.

Seeing what happened before, Sean frowned. He didn't expect the entrance fee to the capital to become so expensive, but he quickly thought of the reason.

The fortress fell, and the safest place in the kingdom is naturally the most heavily guarded place in the capital. There must be many families who have the same idea as the Campbell family. If so many people flood into the capital, it will definitely make the capital Overcrowded, the purpose of charging high entry fees is probably to prevent a large number of people from flooding into the capital.

Sure enough, after learning that the entrance fee was as high as ten gold coins per person, many teams broke away from the long queue and headed in other directions.

Such teams are obviously not rich families. After paying such a high entry fee, it may be difficult to live in the capital. It is better to find a city near the capital. Although it is not as safe as the capital, at least there is life. Security, and the city close to the capital, the security should be good.

Teams left or paid to enter the city one by one, and soon it was the turn of the Campbell family.

"What should we do? How about we divert to the surrounding cities?"

In the carriage, the owner of the Campbell family, Brod, also raised his brows. Such a high entry fee is a great burden even for the Campbell family. After all, the Campbell family now has no source of income, and the money is a little. a little less.

"It's better to enter the capital, it's safer, I still have some money here, I'll pay for it."

Shawn shook his head, walked out of the carriage, came to the little gatekeeper, took out a gold deposit roll representing 500 gold coins, and handed it to him.

Now, if he includes the batch of unprocessed jade ornaments and jewelry, his net worth is more than two million yuan. This small amount of money is naturally nothing to worry about.

However, there was a scene that surprised him. Seeing the deposit roll that he handed over, the little leader of the gatekeeper, who was still domineering just now, stepped back as if seeing a hot potato, and shook his head again and again.

"Lord Baron, your team does not need to pay the entrance fee!"

"real?"

Sean asked with a puzzled expression.

"really."

The head of the gatekeeper nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, but his eyes glanced at the baron badge on Xiao En's chest from time to time, so he didn't have the arrogance he faced with other people just now.

"Uh, that's fine."

Sensing the other party's gaze, he probably guessed the reason for the change in the other party's attitude. Sean nodded and went straight back into the carriage. Although he didn't care about the money, it was best to save money.

When the Campbell family left, a city gate guard hurried over and asked.

"Boss, why did you release them without paying the city fee? If the people above know about this, maybe we will have to pay for it!"

"Are we out?"

Hearing this, the little gatekeeper gave a chuckle in disdain, glanced at the latter and said.

"Don't look at me confiscating the entry fee of this family today. If the people above know about it, maybe they will reward me."

"Reward? Head, are you right? Fever!"

The latter hurriedly touched his hand to the head of the gatekeeper, wanting to see if he had a fever and was confused.

Knocking off the latter's hand, the gatekeeper was dissatisfied.

"I told you to learn more, if you don't believe me, do you know what the badge on his chest just now represents?"

"On behalf of the baron, but the boss, I remember the explanation from the boss, even if it is a family with a title, there is still a fee for entering the city?"

"Hmph, that's an ordinary baron, but the one just now is different."

"Different, what's the difference?"

"Don't you think the color of the magnolia flower is weird? The badges of other nobles are inlaid with white jade, but the color of his badge is purple jade."

"Hey, it's a bit strange to hear you say that. What's going on? Is there something special about that badge?"

"certainly."

The little leader of the goalkeeper said proudly.

As the little leader of the city gate of the capital, his knowledge is naturally not simple. There are all kinds of ghosts and monsters in this place of the king's capital. Without any knowledge, it might be over in the next moment.

As far as he knows, the royal family rarely issues purple jade badges, and everyone who owns a purple jade badge has an extremely noble status and cannot be judged by the superficial title level at all.

Such a person, without even thinking about it, knows that he is not something he can provoke, and how dare he charge an entry fee.

Although it was an order from the superior to collect the entry fee, as long as he mentioned this matter, he can guarantee 100% that the superior will definitely agree with his decision and praise him for his cleverness.
