Chapter 3: Regressive Civilization
"Huh! So, all the people here are cowering in this kind of place? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Above the plain, there was a cry of surprise, it was Akai's voice.
"Well, yes, my lord, after all, we don't have enough strength, and now, it's already the limit." Dressed in a white robe, the librarian said helplessly with a big nose.
Holding my hand to my forehead, I frowned.
"I thought that humans were already in a dominant position in this world. Sure enough, did we leave too early? I whispered.
Akai patted me on the shoulder and shook his head.
"Don't think about it, we've done our best, I guess something special happened later."
I turned my head to the blacksmith villager and the librarian villager, who should be able to explain this to us.
But before we can do that, we'll have to retreat to the city.
I looked at the towering wall in the distance, a wall fifty meters high that could almost make most monsters desperate, and it was the last line of defense for the natives of this world to protect themselves.
On the plains, there was peace, but since the giant zombie just told us, it was not peaceful.
Maybe the night will be even crazier than before.
"Hurry up, we'll get there before dark." I nodded at Akai, who understood.
In this way, the two of us opened the way, and the blacksmith villager and the librarian villager followed behind us step by step, walking cautiously.
Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened before I knew it.
Naturally, we made it to the bottom of the tall walls.
Only then can we take a closer look at the structure of the wall. It was a wall made of stone bricks, and the cost of countless stone bricks was incalculable, and it is hard to imagine that it was the crystallization of the aborigines.
"Well, people are forced out." I sighed.
Truth be told, the villagers didn't build anything but houses, not even the most basic walls and simple fortifications.
In addition to this 50-meter-high wall, there is also a moat nearly 10 meters wide under the city.
After quickly going through the formalities of entering the city, Akai and I finally entered the city of the aborigines.
"Wow!!"
"This style γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
As soon as we entered the city, we felt a full of exotic atmosphere.
This foreign land does not refer to the aborigines of this world, but to the real world.
As for why?
On the neat streets, pedestrians walk in twos and threes, but the architectural styles on both sides of the street are very familiar to us.
"Now, are we in the 11th island country?" The corners of my eyes twitched, and I looked at the Japanese-style buildings on both sides, and my heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.
The streets are full of Japanese-style sliding doors, and rectangular column-shaped lanterns called "Qingxing Lanterns" are neatly placed at intervals on both sides of the street, and the lanterns are embroidered with orchid lace.
As far as the eye can see, the snack bars on the street are full of Japanese style, and the overall architecture is on the low side, but it is beautiful.
"Whewγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" I took a deep breath and pulled Akai forward, "Let's go, although there are many questions, but the first priority is to fill our stomachs first, we haven't eaten yet." β
"Well, but we don't seem to have any money." Akai circled his head.
I smiled at the librarian and blacksmith villagers beside me.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
This smile made the other party tremble.
"Okay, I understand, the two of you haven't eaten yet, let's go here, let's do our best to be a landlord." The librarian said very politely.
I nodded, smiled at Akai who was full of black lines, and said, "Let's go!" β
The latter gave me a middle finger to indicate a nice job.

At a small and inconspicuous shop, two empty bowls were taken away by the manager here, and Akai and I sat on our chairs with relaxed expressions.
"Ah~~~ The food here is still delicious." I said that I was satisfied, and I was full of physical strength and spirit.
"Well, people are iron and rice is steel. So, let's get down to business. Akai reminded me.
Hearing this, I turned my gaze to the two villagers sitting across from me.
"Well, how to say it, we have come all the way from a far away, and we are not very familiar with the things here, if it is convenient, please tell us in detail." I nodded to the librarian and blacksmith.
"Two adults, it's a long story."
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
An hour later.
Akai and I listened carefully, worthy of the existence of a librarian, and the history of this world is recorded in great detail. Akai's and I expressions grew more and more serious.
It's been a thousand years!
It's been a thousand years since we left this world!
According to the librarian villagers, thousands of years ago, when the world was in crisis, the legendary Sage of Fire and the Arrow of Triumphant Wind turned the tide and saved the world from crisis, and then disappeared, leaving behind only King Arthur's legacy and their respective weapons.
After that, the human kingdom began a long and prosperous period of development, and no living creature could threaten the humans of this world.
After the discovery of copper and silver mines, tin ore was born, and mankind ushered in the beginning of a new era.
However, whether it is copper or tin ore, the tools produced are not satisfactory.
Until one day, the rubber tree was found in a very remote place.
This landmark discovery has truly ushered in a new era for humanity in this world.
Its name: [Industrial Age]
After a long period of exploration and research, people gradually researched new things, relying on the raw rubber produced by rubber trees, industrial things gradually rose.
Later, electricity was discovered.
This was a matter of course, and after that, people finally discovered the use of tin ore, that is, to make [batteries], copper cables made of rubber, supplemented by redstone, and [batteries] This is a cross-era product was born.
With batteries, there must be power storage equipment, and then the electrical appliances that use electricity are naturally studied.
Everything went so smoothly and everything was so beautiful.
"Isn't that great? So, why γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Akai looked around, and there was no shadow of electrical appliances around.
The blacksmith smiled wryly and continued, "If only it really went on like this. β
It turns out that when everything is on the right track, and people have smoothly entered the semi-electric age from the Iron Age, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the original magic.
At the end of the day, mystery and science are opposites.
It's like the opposition between the technology side and the magic side.
Although both can make people's lives better, on the other hand, only a small number of people are qualified to learn magic, while technology can be popularized by everyone.
Contradictions, arise from this.
The development of science and technology is inseparable from the destruction of the environment, even in this world.
Tell the development of science and technology to bring about the earth's holes.
Aware of this, the magicians did not hesitate to fight, and based on the words left by the two sages, 'protect the world and the environment', and started a confrontation with the technological side.
The technology side, which is not yet fully up, has no power to fight, and the magic side has the absolute upper hand.
However, all of this was completely turned upside down with the discovery of a mineral called uranium.
If it is uranium ore alone, many people may not know much about it, after all, this kind of ore is very rare, and ordinary people may not see it a few times in their lifetime.
However, if you talk about [nuclear bomb], everyone must be able to understand it, right?!
That's right, uranium ore is compressed and turned into [uranium ingots], which is the raw material used to make [nuclear bombs].
This world is surprisingly simple, only a sufficient amount of uranium, and a certain amount of sand are needed to make this giant killing weapon.
"Hey, don't tell me it's a nuclear bomb next!" I swallowed, as if anticipating what was going to happen next.
Akai held his forehead with one hand and let out a sigh: "Sure enough, human beings are the same no matter which world they are. β
They looked at each other and sighed.
How can this group of uncivilized aborigines be so unruly!
The nuclear bomb is something that is going to be sealed.
What about fireworks?

ps: Although it is said that it will be updated next year, how can I just be cheap and can't help it?
