Chapter 50: Yggtrasil

Luz picked up the needle beetle in my lap and let me come to her as I regained my space to move. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Luz deliberately put me in the merchant and showed it to a group of them.

The uncle was terrified by the red eyes that I stared at them, but when he saw the color combination of my long black hair and red dress, he looked relieved, thinking that I was just a young human girl who should be cared for.

"The mainstream ideas advocated by the empire are indeed very efficient in the development of the country, but it also makes those of us who live underneath selfish in order to earn a living, and gradually forget some of the kindness that should not be forgotten...... Well, I know we're wrong, and you have the right to decide how you live, no matter what you are, whether you're a beast or a human, and you shouldn't be left to us outsiders to interfere with. ”

The five-short man stretched out his knuckle-thick palm and touched the top of my head, like a father to his child, smiling shallowly and offering gentle care.

"But don't forget that I'm still a merchant, and as long as I sell, it's always our commodity, and that won't change. But my after-sales service is great, after all, you are the most beautiful and lovely product I have ever sold, and of course you have to take good care of it. ”

Luz asks where the beasts that attacked the uncles are going, and the answer is that they are heading in the direction of the Trade City.

This result is not different from the original purpose, and Luz even wonders if the "Disappearance of the Beast" has something to do with the "Mysterious Beast of Black Feather", and is excited about it.

Luz asks Bebel to send his men to receive the uncles, hoping that they will have a good rest and recover from the damage. In the days to come, their mental condition will be good or bad, but it is related to the number of competitive beasts, and they cannot be treated sloppily.

Luz waited for Bebel's men to complete the matter, and after confirming that the handover was in order, he boarded the sand boat, which was towed by a dada lizard piloted by Elaine, and continued on to the trading city.

Of course, the noisy Bebel couldn't be willing to stay, so he controlled the white-faced and red-robed man to squeeze into the house of the sand boat, and insisted on keeping up.

We arrived in the trading city, and it was close to evening.

On the desert where the sun shines red, crowds of people gather here from the south, east and west. This crowd emits a variety of scents and extends to the entrance to the giant gate of the trading city.

The name of that city is: Eugtrahir.

Named after the Norse mythological god of the tree, this city is a giant city built on a huge sacred tree and built a dwelling on top of it.

I was fascinated by the reality of the symbiosis between humans and nature, and my eyes were fixed. Luz was beside her, looking curiously close to my cheek as if it were a rare sight to see my expression. Her fingertips deliberately teased my face, and when she saw that I was bored by this action, her brows were deeply locked and full of displeasure, so she deliberately showed intimacy, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around my shoulders, and flattered me, carefully introducing me to the history of this city word by word.

In fact, the encyclopedia in my brain also found relevant information about the city of Yuktrashir, and I would not be too surprised that human beings have such a way of life, but after witnessing it with my own eyes, the real information that the encyclopedia in my brain cannot explain in detail has a real impact on my imagination.

Yggdrahir, the trading city with the largest number of merchants in the southwest of the empire, the giant tree that represents the base of the entire city, towering in the endless orange sky, its huge roots of different thicknesses and intricate intertwines, climbing the towering stacks of huge rock disks, firmly rooted in the dusty desert.

As the sand boat we built approached the city, the majestic majesty of the natural protective wall formed by the rock wall made me feel too small in comparison. At the same time, the opposite emotion welled up in the chest. If I could, I would like to climb to the top of the city wall and see the world in all its might.

Our sand boat approached the threshold before entering the city.

"With the queue like this, we couldn't get into the city before the sun went down. ”

Luz sighed as she faced the crowd at the gate.

The empire avoids the entry of harmful substances brought from other places, and the vetting of visitors entering the city is quite rigorous. The Empire believes that if the foreign substances originate from the nearby Black Continent and are species that have not yet been identified, the lives of the inhabitants of the city will be destroyed if they are not properly countered when they enter the city.

Moreover, the empire was highly praised by the people of its own country for its importance to the people of its own country. These nationals are all qualified through the "Carefully Selected White Rice" test called by the Empire, and they are a valuable resource with abilities. The Empire believes that people's resources, no matter how large or small, even one person, must not be lost under the circumstances intended.

"There's no way, I wanted to take the little black man to see more of the humans in this trading city from the front of the countries, so that you can open your eyes, since you will enter the city in the evening because of this, then you have to give up. ”

"I don't care if I enter the city after night, even if I set up a tent outside the city for the night. You said that the checkpoint will be closed at night and will not open until tomorrow morning, and I think it will be okay to enter at that time. Why rush into the city...... In fact, I also enjoyed the smell of the people who came here on their own way. ”

Most of the people who come to Trade City are traveling in the same way as us, and the old off-road vehicles are very rare in this crowd due to the scarcity of fuel and energy.

In addition, the Encyclopedia of Brain adds that in this frontier region, which can be attacked by wild beasts at any time, traditional camels are not suitable for use as a medium for transporting supplies.

"No, it's better to get into town early. ”

Luz didn't explain to me why she didn't spend time waiting to enter the city, but simply asked Elaine to drive the sand boat to another entry checkpoint that had been set up next to the gate.
