Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 137 Border Inspection

On the side, the old butler saw that the curse on the carving knife really could not harm the young master, so he put his worries aside.

In order to save soul power, Lin Rong's innate domain only covered the Soul-Devouring Knife in his hand.

The curse on the carving knife is very powerful, but no matter how strong the power is, without energy replenishment it is just like a rootless duckweed.

As time went by, the cursed power on the Soul-Devouring Knife was gradually transformed into life by the Life Dragon Soul.

The weakening of the curse's power meant that the Soul-Devouring Knife could no longer maintain its ancient black appearance, and the knife's own transparent emerald green color gradually emerged.

About two hours later.

The curse on the carving knife was completely removed, and the entire carving knife returned to its original appearance as the Blade of Life:

The entire piece is emerald green and flawless, like a beautiful work of art made from the finest jade.

"Huh." Lin Rong took a breath, looked at the Blade of Life in his hand, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"After two hours of transformation, the curse was finally removed."

“I didn’t expect that something that Electrolux could purify in an instant took me so long.”

"He is a god after all. Even though only a trace of his consciousness remains, his power level is still far beyond what I can currently compare to."

"Besides, purifying evil forces is a professional task for Electrolux, so it's normal for him to be faster than me."

At this time, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon, who had been curled up and dozing in Lin Rong's sleeve, seemed to sense the pure vitality contained in the Blade of Life. It flew out from his sleeve and circled around the Blade of Life.

A slight dragon roar came from the Nine-bend Vine Dragon's mouth. Lin Rong, who was in tune with its mind, immediately understood and said:
"Don't worry, absorbing the gold of living beings cannot be accomplished overnight."

"We are still on the way back to Tiandou City. The carriage is not a suitable place for retreat."

"We'll talk about it after we get back home."

Considering the property of Living Gold that it 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 included in the category of metals and ores, and will not be decomposed by the unique characteristics of Living Gold. Therefore, the wooden box can be used as a container for storing the Living Blade.

……

evening.

The border of Tiandou Empire.

The convoy of horse-drawn carriages stopped at the border entrance for routine inspection.

Logically speaking, as the hereditary duke of the Tiandou Empire, Lin Rong only needs to state his identity and can enter the country without undergoing immigration inspection.

However, although the soldiers at these border checkpoints are nominally affiliated with the Tiandou Empire, the members of the patrol team are directly under the command of a kingdom under the Tiandou Empire.

Lin Rong learned from the ghosts that all the kingdoms and principalities on the continent had secretly surrendered to the Spirit Hall.

There are records of customs inspection.

Although revealing one's identity could save one from tedious inspections, entering it into the archives would be equivalent to exposing one's whereabouts to the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, even if it is a little troublesome, he can still wait for this period of time.

There were a total of twenty-four carriages in the carriage convoy.

Excluding the two carriages carrying Lin Rong, the old butler, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi, the remaining twenty-two carriages were occupied by more than two hundred members of the Pozhi clan.

The so-called border inspection is actually to check whether you are carrying any prohibited items.

However, this type of inspection has many loopholes, such as not searching personal belongings and not checking storage soul guides.

Lin Rong didn't quite understand the former, but could easily understand the latter. Soul guides, as the name implies, require soul power to use, and they are rare.

A person who possesses a soul guide is either a nobleman of distinguished status or a powerful soul master.

No matter which one it is, ordinary soldiers cannot afford to offend them.

The situation in the original novel where Tang San was robbed of his money by three despicable villains at the border of the empire is basically impossible to happen.

After all, the three despicable villains are alone and can leave whenever they want, but these soldiers are not like that. If the nobles and soul masters who were robbed want to take revenge, their families and relatives will suffer.

After a while, the soldiers finished checking all the carriages. The leading soldier captain came forward with a pen and paper in his hand and said:

“So many people, immigrating with their whole families?”

"What's your identity? Where are you from? Where are you going to settle down? I want to register."

The captain of the soldiers said this very politely, because there were so many carriages and there was not a single piece of supplies stored in the carriages. They must be in the storage soul guides.

The supplies needed by more than two hundred people, this group of people possesses at least ten storage soul guides, which indirectly shows that their identities are not ordinary.

Among the crowd, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi were not good at talking to others, nor could they make up stories on the spot.

Therefore, after hearing the question from the captain of the soldiers, the old butler Yu Yuan took the lead and answered calmly:

"We are a family of medicine. We are migrating here to return to our family in Tiandou."

After listening, the captain of the soldiers discovered that a gold soul coin card with a face value of 10,000 appeared in the book he was opening.

Although I didn't see the old man in front of me make any movements, the gold soul coin card in the book would not lie.

This made him instantly determine that the gentle old man in front of him was an extremely powerful soul master.

"Is that so?" The captain of the soldiers pretended to be calm, picked up a pen and pretended to write something in a book. In the process, he put the gold soul coin card into his sleeve without leaving a trace.

"No problem, you can enter now."

As he spoke, the captain of the soldiers turned around and signaled his men to open the border gate.

Seeing this, more than 200 people returned to the carriages and passed the border safely.

in the carriage.

Dugu Bo, who had been silent at the border checkpoint just now, asked:

“Sir, didn’t Juhuaguan give you the Elder Order between him and Old Ghost?”

"As long as you show us the Spirit Hall elder token, there's no need to waste those 10,000 gold soul coins."

Hearing this, Lin Rong still leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside, and said without turning his head:
"It is the royal family of the kingdom and duchy who defected to the Spirit Hall, not the soldiers at the border checkpoint."

"Before the Spirit Hall breaks off relations with the two empires, these royal families will not let anyone other than their confidants know that they have defected to the Spirit Hall."

"Therefore, taking out the elder order can only exempt you from the 10,000 gold soul coins. You still have to register what you need to register."

"The Spirit Hall elder brought more than 200 people through the empire's border. The soldiers will definitely report this to their masters."

"Right now, the matter of the Fengjian Sect being destroyed is very exciting. The more the situation is at the forefront, the more cautious we must be."

"It's worth spending 10,000 gold soul coins to avoid potential troubles and risks."

"You have to remember one thing: any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

"But you can't feel bad about spending the money you should spend."
