The Witcher: Son of the Planes.
Chapter 343 Joining the City Guard
Lu Sian agreed to help Colin, not only because he was willing to escort him along the way, but more because Colin refused the escort fee. Although it was not much, it was far more than the cost of bribing lower-level officials and buying a place in the city guard.
The City Guards are the most basic soldiers in the city of Cambrian. Internally, they are also divided into many military branches. Those guarding the city gates and patrol teams are just the most common types. More regular troops are in the barracks.
After Lu Si'an agreed to Colin's request, he contacted Renzo, a squad leader of the city guard patrol team, through the relationship of Kyle, the butler of Earl Blake's family.
"Captain Renzo, there is a child from my relative's family who has been working outside in the past few years. He has found a female companion in recent years and wants to live a peaceful life. Do you think you can help him?" After Lu Sian finished speaking, he handed over a few Dia coins.
Renzo weighed the diya in his hand, looked at Lu Si'an and said, "You have to think it over. Normally, you don't need this to replenish troops. But now is not the time to replenish troops. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a while."
Hmm? Is that too little? I haven't seen Renzo for more than half a year. His appetite has increased a lot.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Renzo. My relatives at home are urging him to settle down as soon as possible. The continent is too chaotic right now, and it's not easy for adventurers to survive." Lu Sian said with a "painful" look as he handed over a few Dia coins.
"Okay, for the sake of Butler Kyle, I'll take this responsibility. Go back and tell the kid from your relative's family to report to me early tomorrow morning. After joining the city guard, be careful with your words and don't cause me any trouble." After giving instructions to Lu Sian, Renzo staggered away.
"Damn, a mere patrol captain is already shaking. Bah, there's no time for you to beg me." Lu Sian was very unhappy about spending a few more Dia coins. Although it was still less than the escort fee paid to Colin, it was still unpleasant to spend more money.
After the matter was done, Lu Sian sent someone to inform Colin to come to his residence.
"I have already done your job. When you go to the City Guard, you must be careful. Especially don't talk nonsense, don't cause trouble, and don't make Captain Renzo unhappy. In the end, we are even. Don't come to me if anything happens to you in the future." After telling Colin what he needed to pay attention to, Lu Sian turned his face and looked like he had nothing to do with them anymore.
"I've troubled you a lot. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble, nor will I implicate you, nor will I make Captain Renzo unhappy." Colin took a last look at this little man and left his residence.
It's not like Colin hadn't thought of other ways to sneak in, but looking at Lord Grimman's current strategic deployment, it is definitely not possible to complete the conquest of the Esilia plane in a short period of time.
If you want to blend in without leaving a trace, you have to put in more effort, which is why Colin went through so much trouble to join the City Guard.
Colin didn't know how Clark and his men would carry out the sabotage work in Ito City. If they just carried out simple and crude sabotage, firstly, the effect would not be very obvious, and secondly, it would be easy for the other party to see through it. They were also in the other party's hinterland, so it was hard to say whether they could retreat safely.
There were only more than 30 people from the entire continent, and only Colin and his group were assigned to the Kingdom of Dia. This was why Hathaway was unwilling to go to the originally planned Ackerman City, because she was afraid that something might happen to Clark and the others and implicate her.
……
The next morning, looking at the tall Colin, Renzo was quite satisfied, "Not bad, it seems that Lu Sian introduced a good subordinate this time."
"I'll rely on Captain Renzo to take care of you from now on." Colin said humbly.
"Okay, just follow me and work hard. I heard from your relatives that you have been out there for a few years. You must have had a lot of adventures, right?"
"I was young and ignorant, so I went out to mess around for a few years. Now I have found the girl I love, and I came to you to seek a stable life."
"Okay, okay, it's right to come back. The continent is too unstable right now. Not to mention the Gulliver region in the south, all countries have sent troops to resist the invasion of those demonic creatures. Even the countries are constantly fighting each other. Our city guards are the most stable. I don't know what's going on in the continent now. I really hope that the war will end soon and the demons will be driven out completely."
In the next hour, with Colin as his supporting actor, Renzo happily explained the situation as he understood it. He then took Colin to the Internal Affairs Department of the City Guard to register, received an identity plate with the words "Sergeant Colin" written on it, and warned him to keep it well.
Finally, Renzo took Colin to meet the remaining dozen or so colleagues in the team, and the day came to an end.
Seeing that it was getting late, although Renzo and his team still had patrol duties, Renzo was in a good mood today (firstly, Colin was sensible and able to speak, and secondly, Lu Sian paid the money, and most of the other members of the team were added for formal occasions, and no one bribed Renzo), so he gave Colin half of the afternoon off and asked him to follow Renzo on patrol the next day.
Back at the temporary rental residence, Hathaway brushed off the non-existent dust on Colin's clothes like a wife.
"Don't bother, no one's watching." Colin and Hathaway said after entering the house.
"It's more important to pay attention to details. Otherwise, it will be bad if your colleagues come over and find something wrong." Hathaway said seriously.
"Okay, that's up to you, but right now it's more important for us to discuss what to do next, what do you think?"
"I didn't foresee any danger here, but I felt a little uneasy in the border town of Ricodo. I hope this danger doesn't come from Clark and his men. For the next step, I think we should stabilize the situation for a while."
"Well, you're right, I think so too, but I think I need to improve my status so that it will be easier for me to get all kinds of intelligence information, no matter which aspect I start from.
As for the danger, as long as we don't face a Level 3 expert directly, I think we still have a chance to escape. I just don't know if Clark and the others will complain about us for not keeping our promise."
……
While Colin was integrating into the Cambrian City Guard with the help of Lu Si'an, Clark and Daly also arrived in Ito City.
Although they have been in a superior position for a long time and have sat on the throne of the clan leader for decades, and have seen a lot of intrigues, they lack the experience of life at the bottom of society.
Although they also thought of helping each other with Colin and others, strengthening contacts and acting cautiously, after entering Ito City, the two made a new judgment after preliminary investigation.
The strongest person in Ito City is only a level 2. With their strength, can't they just run away even if they can't win? Isn't it easy to sabotage?
However, this kind of thing cannot be done by the two clan leaders themselves. It would be more appropriate to subdue some lower-level gangsters to do it.
