Chapter 4 Intelligence and Accidents
"....... is such a magical place. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The sky was still full of thunder, thunder and lightning swept across the sky, and the loud noise was in my ears, but the streets were a busy scene.
But unlike Eich's clean and tidy streets, there are no major roads for traffic, and the streets of three or five people are always slow with street performers, street vendors buying and selling strange pastries, and bare-bottomed children chasing and fighting.
From time to time, a huge beast of burden that took up half of the road slowly passed by, and the Seymour sitting on it carefully steered him.
The surrounding environment seems chaotic, but it has not lost its proportion, but the speed of pedestrians is not fast at all.
But judging from the other people's expressions of not being arrogant or impatient, the pace of life is rather slow, and the Seymour people seem to have become accustomed to it.
"Here's this, this, and this!"
Along the way, the left hand, the right hand, and the mouth in the mouth were already all kinds of strange snacks.
After knowing that Seymour's digestive system is similar to that of humans, and there is no messy anti-poison system, Rorschach, who is becoming more and more greedy, has not stopped all the way.
Taking a bite of the greasy tea cake under the brown crispy skin, licking the glassy strange mist-like toffee, and swallowing the scorched and strange tentacles, Rorschach smiled happily.
Once it was determined that the food here was to her appetite, Rorschach's pace of movement became even slower, and Isabella's recharge plan was probably delayed.
Time is like water, years are like that....... two years have passed, and Rorschach has become more ...... Well, nothing has actually changed.
Whether it is Ash's 10,000-year-old Zhengtai or Anthoreen's golden elf, they are all longevity species among longevity species, and it is really impossible to change in just two years.
Appearance, body shape or something, that is, because there are more less obvious muscles in daily exercise, and when you wear clothes, you can't see the change at all.
The tender face, coupled with the instinct of always having a "sincere" smile, is more like a teenager still reading in an ivory tower than an independent adventurer.
But in two years, has nothing really changed?
"....... sweet, spicy, barbecue, steaming, meat and vegetarian are available, the Seymour people's food traditions are very mixed, there should be a history, and there are obviously no wasteland seafood, it seems that long-distance trading of goods, settlement to replace nomadism for a long time, handicrafts, clothes also have their own ethnic culture....... this is a very rich race. ”
The appearance has not changed, but the inside has long been different.
Two years ago, Rorschach was just an earthling who suddenly came to another world, although he had the goal and consciousness to become stronger, but his shortcomings in all aspects were so obvious.
And now, two years later, this long time is not wasted at all, personal combat power is very important, but if you want to live a long time in this industry, professional skills and knowledge related to the industry are equally important.
History, biology, economics, even the most boring politics, Rorschach also reads as idle books, accumulation lies in bits and pieces, Rorschach has no intention of ascending to the sky in one step, but he has not let go of daily learning every day.
Two years ago, Rorschach was still a student rookie, but now he is already a qualified adventist in terms of mentality and skills.
The most obvious thing is that if he had come to this strange city two years ago, Rorschach would definitely not act alone, and it was inevitable to follow other veteran adventers, and the gods and seniors would have done whatever they were told, and he would not have thought about it or taken the initiative to do anything at all.
And when you become the embodiment of an advent person who can read one side, perhaps your ability and knowledge have not changed, but your attitude has quietly changed.
Rorschach seems to be a strange trip to pass the time, but in fact, he is not only collecting local intelligence, but also checking the terrain and customs, and the daily habits of the Seymour people.
When he entered from a ready-to-wear shop and came out again ten minutes later, the alien elves who were out of place in his surroundings disappeared without a trace, and only a tall young Seymour male with a turban came out.
The same tone, the same habitual movements, even those unpredictable tilted hunchbacks, and even the blue-red talents on their faces.
It's just that his horns and ears seem to be wrapped in a hat and turban, which is somewhat inconsistent with the Seymour habit of taking pride in horns.
But looking at the posture of him carrying a wooden sword, there were already women around him who showed sympathetic eyes.
“...... It should have been broken on the battlefield, but it's a pity, even if this guy is so tall and strong, then he won't be able to find a spouse in the future. ”
The Seymour people's one-horned and double-horned places are their pride.
At this time, Rorschach, carrying a large bag of women's clothes, inexplicably gained a lot of sympathy with a blinded look, and thought that he had made a mistake in copying someone else's oil paint... Ahem, don't get me wrong, these clothes are just for companions, and always doing a good job is the quality of a professional.
Fortunately, the height difference between Seymour people is quite large, and Rorschach's height is not outrageous.
As for pretending to be Seymour, Rorschach didn't have the idea, he just made himself less eye-catching.
When there are always three or four pairs of eyes staring at you like foreigners, no matter where you are, you don't want to do anything....... in fact, Rorschach has always wanted to spit out those foreign spy movies.
How can you be a blonde and blue-eyed spy infiltrate in an area full of black hair and black eyes, and the slightly more sensitive guards have raised their guns when they see you, at least they have to do it less eye-catching, and it is not too much to dye your hair with a fake pupil.
Even if you can't hide it from a careful observer, you won't be watched from hundreds of yards away.
Sure enough, after such a change of costume, those surprised eyes looking at the crooked nuts were much less, but the inexplicable sympathetic eyes made people a little uncomfortable, but after a little inquiry, Rorschach accepted this "setting" with a wry smile........ and prepared to find a blacksmith shop to make a fake corner.
And along the way, he also saw a lot of such "fellows" who "follow the customs", but some races are too obvious, such as lizardmen, dwarves, human males such as middle-aged uncles....... cough cough, it seems that Seymour's appearance is a little high, so some people's changes of clothes probably only attracted more criticism.
Rorschach walked and stopped, ate this house, tried that family's crafts, and in the seemingly boring chatter, he gained a lot.
"The Great Migration more than 300 years ago?"
Rorschach learns that the Seymours are not actually the original owners of this wilderness and horn city, they have fled in an unstoppable natural disaster, and some tribes have found this treasure land and defeated and expelled the original owner.
The biggest takeaway is not such a simple historical data.
"Luo Li, the Seymour people have a very strong background, and they are very good at magic patterns, natural element control, and magic metal forging, and there is not only no shortage of crops and the like, but also a lot of types......... It's a long-term ally worth fighting for, if you can. ”
Where did the intelligence come from?
After professional training, Rorschach learned that real intelligence spies want to collect intelligence, and most of the time they do not venture into dangerous areas, and a lot of important information is placed in places that anyone can access, and they just want a professional collection eye.
A variety of snacks and staple foods?Rorschach only saw an adequate and stable food production system, a supply system, and a fairly long period of stable life.
After all, people will only start to pursue the enjoyment of taste buds when they have filled their stomachs first, and now that it has been established that these new snacks are all new products developed from local crops, Rorschach's first thought is that indeed the Seymour people should be the overlords of this area, and there is no threat at all.
In Ansolein, intelligence is valuable, there is no information, the situation in each area is different, the interference of the magic fog makes communication and communication extremely dangerous, most of the ethnic groups in Ansolein are relatively closed, and even two cities not far away can have completely different customs and cultures.
The specific information on these front-line items can only be done by oneself.
"The patterns on these clothes, the embroidery on the top of the head, and the oil paint on the face do not have elemental power in themselves, but they can be seen to be imitations of real elemental patterns, and the soldiers and guards you see on the road are all genuine. Their level of enchantment and alchemy is quite high, and the output of their products should be very stable, and the warriors should use good goods. We can consider trying another batch. ”
"There is seafood in the food, the currency is processed shellfish, they should have a territory to the sea, or have a relatively stable alliance with the inhabitants of the sea......."
Bit by bit, Rorschach collates his gains and information as a reference for the gods to make their final decisions.
"There are also prisoners of war and slaves of other races in the market, and judging from their injuries, it is difficult to imagine that the Seymours are still at war with several races and cities at the same time, but judging from their situation, most of the losers are not Seymours. ”
"Seymour is very strong, and they are very deep ground snakes, considering the goal of our coming here, it is best not to offend them easily........ Isabella, I'm talking about you, don't wait and mess things up again!"
"Hehe, no, I won't mess it up later. ”
Listening to the triumphant laughter that passed over, Rorschach breathed a sigh of relief, but instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Won't you mess it up later.......?"
"Ha, an old man actually dares to take advantage of the old lady, look at my dazzling and broken feet!"
"Wait, what did you do, what did you do at a social dinner full of local chieftains and big businessmen?!"
"It's really lonely and unheard, doesn't Broken Yang know? To put it bluntly, Broken Egg Feet won't know it, right?"
In an instant, Rorschach covered his face helplessly, he didn't know this, he just knew too much to have a headache.
"Is there a way to get it back?"
"Like...... A lot of people are panicking, what do they call that old man? Old city lord? Uh, I'm running away too, how do you use the skill of turning into a bat?"
“%^&%^$$!!”
After a series of venting emotions and unhappy scolding, Rorschach looked at the clothes in his hand, and really considered the need to sneak away.
