Chapter 339: assassins

When Vader took off his patch-covered coat and put on his brand new unifor up nicely

The top layer of the clothes was a thick leatherThey possessed both the heat retention of leather, and the softness of the cloth Just these materials alone orth several silver royals

Although in shape it was similar to the uniforms of the city hall, the color was, on the contrary, worlds apart The predominant color of the outfit was pure black while the shoulders, collar and cuff had a white stripe border,After the fifteen of theain stood in a row, they were unable to restrain their emotions and stuck out their chests a little

”Not bad,” Carter revealed a satisfied smile ”Now, all of you follow me”

At this point, the snoas still drifting in the sky For Vader, it was still the first tily in autumn Snoould occasionally fall in Valencia, but it would stop after one or two days at most When that happened, children would frequently line up snow the street They would roll the snow up into soballs and throw them back and forth between each other As a result, children thought of snowy days as holidays

These were days of extrerown-ups, however The excess snow made their shoes wet and moldy, which made it extremely difficult for them to traverse the streets Shops ended up virtually devoid of people… The weight of snoould even cause the roofs of houses to occasionally collapse

At such a ti indoors Even if they had to go out, they would only find a tavern for everyone to sit around the fireplace Drinking warm ale, they would flirt with the barmaids

However, none of that was evident in Border Town

Every day, there would be so it to either side of the road— This was a job that the city hall had long been recruiting for It was possible for one to work on a daily or monthly basis and people considered it a job with a low but fast return

There were a large nu to and fro on the streets So straw hats, while others had cloaks draped over the their own business If one could get rid of all of the fallen snow in the town, it wouldn't be too far out of the question to call it summer

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Vader would absolutely not believe that a sdom would appear much livelier than Valencia If it hadn't been for the absence of a tall chapel and bell tower in the town, he would have seriously believed hie city

The party arrived at the wharf very quickly Ten or more sailboats had been docked on the Redwater River and several hundred people had already gathered near the shore Seeht! An iees froion, had arrived at this sreeted them

”Permission to speak! Were those people…”

”They were refugees froet through the winter safely, His Royal Highness specially sent people to bring them to Border Town Your role is to assist the city hall in et those people in a line into the inspection checkpoint Once that is done, you will quarantine them and write each of them into the record,” Carter instructed them ”As the police officers are still few in nu you However, this job will be assigned to all of you to accomplish on your own in the future”

”Yes, sir!”

From the sound of it, it wasn't a hard task at all and was little ees into a queue to collect their porridge Vader walked towards the front of the checkpoint and began to yell in a loud voice so that everyone could hear his instructions clearly and approach him in an orderly manner

”What's your naood at? Can you read?”

Every refugee that passed through the checkpoint would be subjected to a round of inquiries by the clerks in the city hall, follohich their responses would be roughly recorded Vader knew that this was just a rough estiation would verify everyone's responses The people who possessed special abilities or knowledge would be prioritized in their transfer into the inner city—This process was so he had personally experienced once

Suddenly, a burst of co out behind hiown arrive at the wharf under the protection of a group of guards The long, grey hair blowing in the end made his status clear—He was the feudal lord of the land, HRH Roland Wi, who ought to be the people in charge of city hall, stood beside him

Never in his hness would brave the flurry of snow to personally observe this batch of refugees In a severe winter, it was rare to find a higher noble illing to leave a warm bed at the crack of dawn, especially when there were servants present to take care of everything
