Chapter 1372: A New Type of City

Crimson Wings is a newly rising megacity with a terrifying population of up to two million.

In a magical world where transportation and resources are not so abundant, this is already a rare occurrence.

You must know that the definition of a city in the wizarding world is: a population of 1-20,000 is a small city, 2-50,000 is a medium city, 5-90,000 is a large city, and more than 90,000 is a giant city......

Naturally, there is a deep reason for such a definition, and that is the limitation of transportation, food and water!

In a higher plane like the wizarding world, don't look at the wizards who have already flown to the sky, they can turn over rivers and seas, move mountains and mountains with a single move. But in the lower strata of society, in the mortal world, they still adhere to the more primitive lifestyles such as farming, fishing and hunting, and animal husbandry.

The life of wizards and the life of mortals are almost heaven and earth, and the difference is unimaginable. Wizards would rather spend a lot of resources to breed and cultivate some sweet-tasting fruits and vegetables than spend the slightest effort to improve the yield of rice seeds and grains for mortals.

This means that large quantities of farmland and arable land simply do not produce enough grains to feed too many people. Ordinary farmers have coarse tea and light rice, and they are busy all year round and just talk about satisfying themselves. If you want to eat meat and make tooth sacrifices, you can only risk hunting in the forest except for raising some livestock yourself.

As a result, the lack of cereal production makes it impossible to have too dense populations on a regional scale, otherwise the food problem alone would have caused headaches for the rulers.

There is a shortage of local food, so can it be imported from the outside world?

This brings us to the terrible roads and transportation of the wizarding world.

Most of the roads in the wizarding world are simple and sparse dirt roads, that is, ordinary dirt roads, and there are many travelers and caravans walking, and the simple roads that are crushed and trampled on. Such roads are impassable on rainy days, and even on a good day, the potholes and rocks that can be everywhere can turn a trip into a disaster.

Most of the goods here are transported by horse-drawn carriages, a special kind of wooden carriages drawn by wildebeests. It is characterized by a small cargo capacity, fragile and slow......

With such a road and such a mode of transportation, it is possible to transport some things over short distances. It is a joke to want to continuously import basic necessities such as food, drinking water, and charcoal from hundreds of miles away every day.

It is this series of backwardness and primitiveness that limits the emergence of megacities!

Even the main cities of the fourth-order forces in the middle of the continent have a permanent population of only 1120,000. It's not that they can't gather more people, but they can't afford the resource disaster caused by a huge population.

In contrast, the giant city of Crimson Wings has gathered a population of about two million, and the deep meaning contained in it has puzzled many top wizards from afar.

Could it be that the Crimson Family's resources were already so abundant that they could benefit ordinary people, but wouldn't it be a huge waste to spend resources on these lowly and despicable mortals?

You know, these mortals don't have any wizarding talent, their only value is probably to enrich the territory, and the other is to desperately live, using the overall huge number to pile up a certain percentage of wizard apprentices.

Only those wizard apprentices have cultivation value, and they are worthy of the wizarding families to pour resources into them. And mortals without any talent are just like mules, horses, and livestock in the eyes of many wizards, just a tool to maintain the necessary number of herds!

Therefore, they never disdain to spend their time and energy on these useless people, let alone solve their problems and improve their lives.

However, the Crimson Wings of this sprawling wizarding city is clearly different!

It is a bizarre city that has integrated witchcraft into society and life.

Uniform streets, clean and flat stone hardened pavement, rows of commercial houses and shops, and consistent style of living, commercial and entertainment areas...... And on the streets, in addition to the pedestrians, the most surprising thing is the numerous cargo magic machines and metal sports cars.

Crimson Wings has moved away from the slow, inefficient wagons in favor of metal magic machines powered by magical batteries as their primary means of transport. Running on the roads is no longer a slow-moving horse-drawn wagon, but a strange magic machine made of all-metal.

Small shipments rely on land-based magic weapons, while real bulk goods rely on bizarre goblin airships.

Powered by magical energy, these goblin airships are no longer filled with steam everywhere they used to be, nor are they free from the loud noise of their propellers. They silently shuttled back and forth in the sky, following some kind of peculiar flight trajectory and flickering, quite a kind of vigorous demonic civilization flavor!

Ever since the Crimson family acquired a stable Quilath alloy from Molten City, the Magic Forge has never stopped. In this way, magical energy is no longer a so-called problem that plagues the Crimson family.

A number of Goblin Shops have been opened in Crimson Wings, where unarmed magical machines are openly sold and free Magic Batteries are available. And this kind of behavior undoubtedly provides the greatest convenience for the promotion of magic weapons.

A land-based magic machine that can travel hundreds of miles continuously is even more cost-effective than raising an entire caravan. As a result, in the entire Crimson Wings City, those ancient and primitive caravans of mules and horses are almost no longer visible.

Instead, there are land magic machines that are flying and lightning.

However, for the safety of pedestrians, all terrestrial magic machines that enter Crimson Wing can only run at the lowest speed, and must also drive on a dedicated petrified surface.

The massive promotion and application of magic weapons, the landing of the witchcraft civilization, and the blossoming of the sorcery civilization, also gave birth to many strange professions that the outside world did not have. Like Magic Mechanic, Magic Mechanic, Airship Pilot, Demon Seed Researcher, Janitor, City Law Enforcement Team......

I have to say that this is a new world that is completely different from other wizarding cities in the wizarding world! The energy and vitality it is imbued with are a little incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and indistinguishable even for top wizards like Monash Gaia.

"That Grim was full of food to make these new things?" Monash Gaia lowered the curtain of the car, his face full of incredulity: "What's the use of him serving these humans so well? When the enemy comes, they can't stand up to it, and it's better for a wizard apprentice to throw a small fireball!"

"You don't have to worry about these ......" Efred, the Molten City Lord who was sitting opposite, smiled and stroked his mustache, and said in a low voice, "You just say, are the residents of this city happy, happy?"

"Happiness and happiness are all the of a, what can waste resources and energy on them, can they help us lay down a secondary plane?" Monash Gaia is obviously a typical staunch supporter of bloodline supremacy and wizard supremacy, and is not interested in the bells and whistles in front of him: "With their fragile little body, I'm afraid that as soon as they arrive at the other plane, they will die half of them before they wait for the other party to come and kill them......"

The Molten City Lord shook his head and smiled, not arguing with him, but changing the subject.

"You've seen the changes in this Crimson Wing, haven't you noticed how different it is from other wizarding cities?"

"You mean magic power?"

"Yes, you should also feel it, this city is full of magical energy, almost a bustling city supported by magical energy. Then don't you wonder where their magic comes from? Don't tell me from those wizarding towers, they can't hold up such a huge demand......"

"What do you mean...... The Crimson family has some kind of endless energy? What is it, a treasure or some kind of witch circle, or some special otherworldly means?"

"I've investigated, it's a special device called the Magic Furnace, which can continuously extract violent magical energy from the Void World, and reconcile and domesticate it......"

"Isn't that exactly the same as the Elemental Altar?"

"It's not the same. At the very least, elemental altars require a fixed leyline node to be built, and are surprisingly expensive to build. However, the magic furnace they created was a power source that could be moved at will and could be loaded on top of any magic weapon. Efred squinted slightly, and said with infinite emotion.

"No wonder the Crimson family can use metal magic weapons on a large scale, it turns out that it relies on these endless magical energy!Any civilization or force wants to develop and grow, the minimum demand is nothing more than energy and resources, and they are not short of energy, as long as they continue to open up outward, usurp the necessary resources of the heterogeneous plane, and create a huge force is not difficult...... Monash Gaia also sighed gloomily: "No wonder that Grim can get stronger and stronger when he provokes fire everywhere, it turns out that this is the real reason why they are strong!" ”

"Don't think about it so much. This time, Grim brought us all together, surely to discuss how to deal with the coming tide. Clara's attitude and I are very clear, everything is based on your horse, brother. If that Grimti's request wasn't too much, we'd be reluctant to admit it. If he blackmails too hard, I hope you can fight with reason, brother, and don't let him do what he wants too much......"

Hearing this, Monash Gaia, the patriarch of the Golden Clan, had a smile on his face, and said indifferently, "This is your and Clara's attitude?"

"And Alisa and Roderick...... Among the current wizards of the Middle, you are the only one who can wrestle with that Grim. So ......"

"So you're going to push me out and roast me over the fire?" Monash Gaia smiled, a sarcastic smile on his face.

"It's not against that Grimm, it's just 'arguing with reason'!" Alfred couldn't help but laugh wryly.

Strength represents status.

Without strength, even their group of fourth-order wizards were a little weak to speak.
