I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

"If you fail, leave the capital as soon as possible. The way to save the village may not only exist in the capital. For example..."

The uncle wanted to say something, but when he saw a group of security guards appear on the street, his face changed and he left in a hurry without even finishing his words.

"Eh? Eh? Uncle? Uncle?!"

Looking at the uncle who was leaving in a hurry, Shayou called out a few times, but the other party did not pause at all. Instead, he quickened his pace and quickly disappeared into a corner of the street.

Looking at his hurried appearance, it seemed as if he was avoiding something.

"What a strange uncle."

Iyeas rubbed his head and said, "However, what that uncle said is that the way to save the village may not only exist in the imperial capital?"

"Maybe there are other places where we can stand out." Shayou looked at the place where the uncle disappeared with the same confusion and said uncertainly.

They had so little information that they had no idea what the uncle was talking about.

However, now that they have learned the address of the Imperial Capital Recruiting Office, the most urgent task now is to go there to register.

If they are lucky, they may become famous generals in a few decades.

Sauyu: "Let's go and see if Tatsumi is waiting for us there."

"Well, let's go." Iyeas nodded, and then very consciously fell behind Shayou, letting her lead the way to the recruitment office in the imperial capital.

However, they were attracted by the prosperity of the imperial capital and did not notice that behind them, a group of security guards who should have dispersed long ago were still hanging far behind them.

……

……

"It's rare to see such a lively girl, right?"

"It's obvious that they came from outside. Luckily, we found them early."

"If we kidnap her, we should be able to sell her for a good price."

"Money? That's vulgar! I have a way. If I offer her to the minister, I can at least save twenty years of hard work!"

"Huh?! I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden! You can even get in touch with the minister! Brother, remember to take good care of us in the future."

"That's right, from now on we are all relying on you!"

"Don't worry, the minister will definitely like a girl of this quality, and we will definitely benefit from it!"

30 Interesting things?

Outside the meeting hall.

"Let's go back."

Bud and Asuna walked out of the golden gate one after another.

Bud glanced at the red-haired woman who was also wearing a mask and standing not far away, frowned, and then walked away.

As a high-ranking official in the empire, the news surrounding Asuna naturally cannot be hidden.

Therefore, Bud naturally knew that the red-haired woman just now was Asuna's most trusted adjutant.

However, he didn't pay much attention to other news. At most, he knew that the person's name was "Xia Weisi".

"Ah."

Kayaba Akihabara nodded, followed Asuna by one body step, and left the most luxurious "private residence" in the empire.

Because she had been active in the north and west before, Asuna was not familiar with the imperial capital at all.

After all, she had entered the imperial capital less than three times over the years.

Although she had sent many secret agents to the imperial capital to gather information over the years, if she went to find them now, she might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Therefore, Asuna planned to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment.

After all, I will be on "vacation" in the imperial capital in the future. After accepting the reward from the little emperor, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to stroll around here, right?

Therefore, after coming out of the palace, Asuna took Kayaba Akihabara to stroll around the city.

Although the imperial capital is not the northern border and not many people have seen her, the iconic masks on her and Kayaba Jingyan's faces are particularly conspicuous.

Moreover, he and Kayaba came out of the central castle of the little emperor. Anyone with a little common sense could associate their identities with the Lord of the North and her adjutant.

So, after leaving the castle, Asuna and Kayaba Akigao performed a series of disguises.

Kayaba Akiyo has been a "female" for nearly eight years. Although she is not very skilled in makeup, she can still transform herself into another person perfectly through makeup.

Although she has iconic red hair and weird eyes, there is nothing that a wig and cosmetic contact lenses can't change!

In the past few years, Asuna has always maintained a short hairstyle, so she has accumulated a lot of "high-quality materials" in the warehouse, which are definitely the best quality for making short hair.

As for beauty contact lenses?

Although I don't know their production process, at least it has been widely used in espionage warfare, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Moreover, as a lv. 6 adventurer, even if those colored contact lenses really have hygiene issues, it is not a problem for Kayaba Akihiko now.

Moreover, although the technology in this world is very advanced in some aspects, it does not have things like televisions and computers.

In the imperial capital, apart from the upper class who knew some "detailed information" about Asuna, the rest of the common people only heard about Asuna through hearsay.

As long as Asuna takes off her mask, no one can guess her identity.

However, if she didn't cover up, Asuna would definitely get into a lot of trouble because of her appearance, and this was why she wore a mask in the first place.

With the help of Kayaba Akihiko, Asuna quickly finished dressing up and transformed into a very ordinary girl.

After changing into ordinary girl's clothes, Asuna and Kayaba Akihabara reappeared on the streets of the imperial capital.

However, at this moment, even if they took off their masks, no one would target them anymore, because they were too ordinary at this moment.

Even if he was tied up and forced to perform some kind of act, I'm afraid few people would choose such a mediocre person.

In the imperial capital, if a commoner woman possesses beauty that she shouldn't have, it would definitely be a disaster for her and her family!

Especially in the past five years, under the rule of the ministers, even the lives of ordinary people have become increasingly difficult.

When in the North, Asuna would inspect the territory from time to time to ensure that the decrees she issued could be transmitted to all places as soon as possible. Under the influence of the Kamen Rider soldiers, the civilians in the North and West basically regarded Asuna as their faith, and naturally would not disobey her decrees. This is also one of the reasons why they can develop the economy rapidly.

However, even when Asuna went to inspect various places in the North and the West, she always traveled alone and rarely brought guards with her. At most, she would bring Kayaba Akigao with her.

In her own territory, Asuna naturally does not need to wear a mask, so even if someone has seen Asuna's appearance under the mask, they would not know that the girl in front of them is the leader who brings them peace.

After all, it has been eight years since Asuna came into this world. The little boy back then has now grown up and even joined the army.

Then, how could it be possible that the masked general who had been active on the battlefield eight years ago was a young girl?

So, in this situation, Asuna and Kayaba Akiya, with their ordinary faces, gradually blended into the crowd.

Evergreen trees are planted on both sides of the streets of the imperial capital. Even though it is already autumn, if you don't look at the clothes of the residents here and only look at the scenery, you might think it is spring or summer.

Along the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Asuna and Kayaba Akiha even bought a lot of things, just like ordinary girls who ran out of supplies at home and came out to buy some.

As she walked, Asuna secretly glanced at the passers-by around her. Even though there were many pedestrians passing by on this busy street, Asuna still could not see much smile and relaxation on their faces. Everyone seemed to be carrying something extremely heavy and moving forward, feeling exhausted.

And those guys with wanton smiles on their faces are all demons in human skin. They suck the blood of the lower-class people. Under the protection of the ministers, they release their inner desires to the fullest and build their own happiness on the suffering of the lower-class people.

If these people were in the North, they would not survive until the next morning.

But in the imperial capital, it is a paradise for the powerful and a hell for the common people.

However, just as Asuna and the other person were passing an intersection.

"Iyeas!"

"Ah—it hurts! What is that? It wouldn't hurt if you just took a look!"

"You must be kidding! There are so many soldiers now that we have to draw lots to become one!"

Three voices rang out one after another.

"Hmm? Something interesting seems to be happening."

Kayaba Akihiko glanced over there and said with interest.

31 Be thankful

"Recruiting Office?"

Asuna glanced over there and said, "Then let's take a look."

The previous voice did concern her.

Now even becoming a soldier requires drawing lots?

And looking at the current situation, it seems that he can join the army even if he doesn’t have any connections?

Could it be that that guy Ernest has already started to interfere with the military in some places?

But, this is the imperial capital? Isn't Bud in charge of the military here?

However, when Asuna thought about Ernest's behavior over the years, she understood.

I can't live anymore. If I join the army, although I might be transferred to the border in the past, the danger of the empire being besieged on three sides has ended. Even if I really send troops, it will only be to suppress the rebellion within the empire. It is not dangerous at all.

Moreover, behind those rebellions that arose within the empire were more or less the figures of the empire's bigwigs.

Although their status may not be as high as that of the ministers and Bud, the fact that they can raise a private army within the empire is enough to prove their strength.

In this situation, asking them to attack those guys is simply playing hide-and-seek.

After all, with such interests entangled, it is naturally impossible for them to really attack those "private soldiers" raised by the bigwigs.

They go around and consume some weapons and ammunition, then come back to report and claim credit.

As for the private soldiers kept by the big shots, they had received the news long before they arrived and lay dormant.

After the soldiers leave, they can move to another place, start a new business, and continue doing their old business.

However, this situation changed when Esdeath appeared.

As a battle maniac who loves war and sadism, Esdeath doesn't care what those people in the imperial capital think.

Facing the rebels formed by the bigwigs, she still attacked without scruples. After she had completely trampled the rebels under her feet and ravaged them severely, she would stimulate them in various ways, arouse their anger, and then let them go, waiting for their "comeback" to provide herself with a new round of "games".

Because of Esdeath's habits and hobbies, although these soldiers have a lot of daily training, when it comes to real combat, they actually spend most of their time watching the show.

There’s nothing we can do. The boss loves to ravage the enemy so much that these soldiers have no chance to fight at all!

Fortunately, Esdeath knew to leave some rebels for them to practice, and over time, these soldiers gradually became veterans on the battlefield.

According to the information obtained, the soldiers under Esdeath are the second largest legion after those under Asuna.

As for General Bud’s guards who guard the imperial capital and the royal city?

Please, although they are all elite troops, they have been patrolling the imperial capital and the royal city all the time. How much progress can they make?

It’s good enough if we don’t regress!

As the noise in front of them grew, Asuna and Kayaba Akigao looked at each other and took one step at a time.

a few minutes ago……

"Wow! Is this the recruitment office in the imperial capital?!"

Iyeas, who was following closely behind Shayou, suddenly lit up his eyes when he saw the building marked "Recruitment Office" and said in amazement.

For him, this is not just a recruiting office, but an opportunity to save his village!

The three of them have been exercising together since they were young, all in one purpose, is to help their village escape poverty and allow everyone in the village to live an easy life.

And now, although the three of them are separated, their goal remains unchanged!

He believed that his best friend Tatsumi would not be able to suppress the excitement in his heart after coming here!

"That's right! This is the recruiting office in the imperial capital!"

Sayou nodded heavily.

She grasped the bow and arrow on her back with her backhand. This was the best bow and arrow in the village. It originally belonged to the hunter uncle. However, in order to allow his group to reach the imperial capital smoothly and have a handy weapon, the hunter uncle gave his best bow and arrow to Shayou without hesitation.

Not only Sau, but also Iyeas and Tatsumi, the swords in their hands are the best swords in the village!

It can be said that everyone in the village has placed all their hopes on them, and they certainly cannot let everyone in the village down!

So, even though Iyeas made that very embarrassing sound again, Shayou didn't care about him at the moment, because she was also very excited at the moment, not to mention this overly passionate Iyeas.

Iyeas put his hands on his waist, then pointed at the recruitment office in front of him and said loudly: "Yoshi! Let's go in and sign up quickly, Shayou!"
