Chapter 137 Border Inspection
On the side, the old housekeeper saw that the curse on the carving knife could not affect the young master, so he let go of his worries.
In order to save soul power consumption, Lin Rong's talent field only covered the soul-eating carving knife in his hand.
The curse on the carving knife is very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is just rootless without energy replenishment.
As time goes by, the cursed power on the soul-eating carving knife is transformed into life by the life dragon soul.
With the weakening of the curse's power, the soul-eating carving knife could no longer maintain its simple and dark appearance, gradually revealing the transparent emerald green color of the carving knife itself.
About two hours later.
The curse on the carving knife was completely removed, and the whole carving knife returned to its original appearance as a living blade:
The whole body is flawless green, just like a beautiful work of art made of the finest jadeite.
"Huh." Lin Rong took a breath and looked at the living creature's blade in his hand, with knowing joy on his face.
"After two hours of transformation, the curse was finally removed."
"I didn't expect that Electrolux could purify things in an instant, but it took me so long."
"He is a god after all. Although there is only a trace of divine consciousness left, his power level is still not comparable to that of my current one."
"What's more, purifying evil forces is a professional matter for Electrolux, so it's normal to be faster than me."
At this time, Jiuquvine Dragon, who had been curled up in Lin Rong's sleeves and dozing, seemed to sense the pure vitality contained in the Living Blade, and flew out from his sleeves and circled around the Living Blade.
A slight dragon roar came from the mouth of the Nine-curved Vine Dragon. Lin Rong, who was connected to its mind, immediately understood and said:
"Don't worry, absorbing the gold of living creatures cannot be completed overnight."
"We are still on the way back to Tiandou City, and the carriage is not a suitable place for retreat."
“We’ll talk about everything after we return home.”
Taking into account the characteristics of living gold that can decompose metals and ores, in order to store the living blade, Lin Rong thought for a moment and took out a wooden box.
Wood is not among metals and ores, and will not be decomposed by the unique properties of living gold. The wooden box can be used as a container to store the living blade.
……
evening.
The border of Tiandou Empire.
The horse-drawn carriage convoy stopped at the border entrance for routine inspection.
It stands to reason that as the hereditary Duke of the Tiandou Empire, Lin Rong only needs to identify himself and can enter without undergoing immigration inspection.
However, the soldiers at these border inspection stations were officially affiliated with the Tiandou Empire, but the members of the patrol team were actually troops directly under a kingdom under the Tiandou Empire.
Lin Rong learned from Gui Mei that all the kingdoms and principalities on the mainland had secretly submitted to Wuhun Palace.
Customs inspection is documented.
Although identifying yourself can save you from cumbersome inspections, entering it into the archives is equivalent to exposing your whereabouts to Wuhun Palace.
Therefore, trouble is just trouble, and he can still afford to wait for this little time.
There were twenty-four carriages in the carriage convoy.
Excluding the two carriages ridden by Lin Rong, Lao Guanjia, Dugu Bo, and Yang Wudi, the remaining twenty-two carriages were ridden by more than two hundred members of the Po Yi clan.
The so-called border inspection actually means checking whether you are carrying contraband.
However, this kind of inspection has many loopholes, such as not searching the items carried with you, and not checking the storage soul guide.
Regarding these two points, Lin Rong was not very understanding of the former, but he could easily understand the latter. Soul guides, as the name suggests, are things that require soul power to be used, and are rare in quantity.
A person who possesses a soul guide is either a noble noble or a powerful soul master.
No matter which one it is, it is not something ordinary soldiers can afford to offend.
A situation like the one in the original work where Tang San encountered three despicable guests on the border of the empire and were robbed of their property was basically impossible to happen.
After all, the three humble guests were alone and could leave whenever they wanted, but that was not the case for these soldiers. If the nobles and soul masters who had been robbed wanted to take revenge, their families would suffer.
After a while, the soldiers finished checking all the carriages. The leader of the soldiers came forward with a pen and paper in his hand and said:
"So many people, immigrating with their families?"
"What is your identity? Where are you from? Where are you going to settle? Let me register."
The soldier captain said this very politely, because there were so many carriages, but there was not even any supplies stored in the carriages. They must be in the storage soul guide.
For the supplies that more than two hundred people needed, this group of people owned at least ten storage soul guides, which indirectly showed that their status was extraordinary.
Among everyone, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi are not good at talking to others, and they are not good at making up lies on the fly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Therefore, the old housekeeper Yu Yuan walked out first after hearing the soldier captain's question and answered calmly:
"We are a medical family. This trip is to return to our family in Tiandou, so we moved the whole family."
After listening, the soldier captain found that a gold soul coin card with a face value of 10,000 appeared in the book he was holding.
He obviously didn't see any movement from the old man in front of him, but the gold soul coin card in the book didn't lie.
This made him instantly recognize that the gentle old man in front of him was an extremely powerful soul master.
"That's right." The soldier captain pretended to be calm, picked up a pen and pretended to record something in a book. In the process, he put the gold soul coin card into his sleeve without leaving any trace.
"No problem, you can enter the customs."
With that said, the soldier captain turned back and motioned to his men to open the border gate.
Seeing this, more than two hundred people returned to the carriage and passed the border safely.
In the carriage.
Dugubo, who had been silent at the border checkpoint just now, asked:
"Sir, didn't Juhuaguan give you the elder orders from him and Lao Gui?"
"As long as you show the elder token of Wuhun Palace, there is no need to waste the ten thousand gold soul coins."
Hearing this, Lin Rong still leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside, and said without looking back:
"The people who took refuge in Wuhun Palace are the royal family of the Kingdom and the Principality, not soldiers at the border checkpoint."
"This kind of blatant betrayal of the two empires. Before Wuhun Palace breaks up with the two empires, these royal families will not let people outside their confidants know that they have taken refuge in Wuhun Palace."
"Therefore, taking out the Elder Order can only exempt you from the 10,000 gold soul coins. Those who should register must still register."
"The elder of Wuhun Palace brought more than two hundred people through the empire's border. Those soldiers will definitely report this kind of thing to their master."
"Right now, the Fengjian Sect's destruction is in full swing. The more the situation becomes more intense, the more cautious we must be."
"Using 10,000 gold soul coins can avoid potential troubles and risks. It is still worth it."
"You have to remember one thing: problems that can be solved with money are not problems."
“But you shouldn’t feel bad about the money you should spend.”
