The Ruins of Magic and Industry Chapter 68 Three Eras, Four Eras
"Drew?" Cockle dragged his chin and thought about it carefully, and finally made sure that there was no such person in his mind, he looked at the broken arm handed over by Liu Bai again, Liu Bai said that this is that person, Cocker also noticed the strange pattern on the cuffs, and could only continue to Liu Bai: "According to my guess, this symbol may be the symbol of a certain family or an organization." Old Jill must know more about this than I do, and he has traveled all the year since he was young, and he will know more about it. After speaking, he handed the broken arm back to Liu Bai.
"Well, okay. Then let's go back to Shago City first, and the supplies for these monitor lizards and giant snakes nearby will be paid to you as the leader of Kokel. There is labor. ”
"Thank you very much, old rules, I'll give 30,000!"
"Deal!"
...
The night returned to the land of Shago, a bloody place that had just been slaughtered, and seemed to have some calm flavor under the cover of the gray moonlight.
The long motorcycles, huge chariots and trucks were engulfed in the huge stone gates of Shago City, and the real silence began to melt into the night. All that remained was the crisp wind, the chirping of unknown insects, and the squeak of a little bare but strong bush.
A somewhat abrupt grinding sound came from the rocks in the col directly opposite the stone gate of Shago City, and when the camera zoomed in, it would be revealed that it was a lean man, whether it was the black leather armor that blended with the night or the sharp daggers inserted in the short sheaths on both sides, indicating that this man was an assassin professional. The expression on his face brightened as the stone door closed.
"This is a rich goblin town! Brother Gerald, they won't blame me for recommending my sister paper anymore, right? A rich goblin town is rich enough for us to live the rest of our lives without worry, right? Choosing to follow that severed hand kid was indeed right!" The assassin quietly watched the huge stone gate of Shago City for a moment, and after noticing no other movement, he turned and melted into the deeper darkness.
...
Goblins live in a tribal group with a herd appearance. But the reality is that their governments are often ruled by the powerful. For example, in the city of Shago ruled by Coker, he is a goblin lord with absolute power, and the goblins in the city are accustomed to calling him the leader of Kokol, and he is also subservient to the strong foothold he brings to Shago City. It was also Coker's sense of being one step ahead of the goblins that allowed this race with cunning bloodlines in its nature to cooperate with Coker's pace and move towards the future they expected step by step.
The future of the goblins in Shago City is to tilt all the resources to the goblin chariot found underground, and Coker hopes to be able to lead the goblins in the city to drive away the armed trolls and regain his lost homeland, and it is precisely because of this common expectation that Shago City has a different "prosperity and order".
And at this time, Liu Bai and his gang were strolling through this small city with more than 3,000 goblins with Luo and Cokesha, feeling the difference between this goblin town.
"Shago City is the only goblin town with a patrol team in one of the few goblin towns I have seen, it's really a great town!" Old Jill was also among Liu Bai's invitees, after last night's rest, all the people in the hunting group were treated, I didn't expect that in this small goblin town, there were many healing potions that couldn't be bought in big cities! When he received the intermediate healing ointment and some other medicines sent by Cockel last night, Liu Bai deeply felt the power of the goblin trader.
Of course, those ointments are not free, the leader of Corker discounted it, Liu Bai paid 16,000 oceans to get the urgently needed medicines for his various members, and by the way, he left some spare medicines, which were kept by Huohua, which was also the first time that this nascent hunting group established the concept of "logistics", if conditions permitted, Liu Bai even wanted to invite a powerful doctor to join his hunting group.
However, it was this time that Coker generously sold valuable drugs at a low price, which made Liu Bai and his gang completely let go of their prejudice against Coker and Shago City, and walked out of the shadow of being "deceived" by Coker for the first time. So originally today's dinner, Koker was also invited, but he was busy with the renovation of the goblin chariot, so he sent his son Koksha to attend on his behalf, but as far as Liu Bai is concerned, Koksha has actually been on his invitation list for a long time.
Now that the explorers have completed the restoration with the cooperation of Huohua and the goblin engineers, and the Silver has been obtained, the people of the Heavy Hunter have decided to thank the new acquaintances of Law, Coker and Coxar today. After hearing the news, Keksha recommended to Liu Bai the only guest house in Shago City, which is also the only place for the goblins in the city to receive and entertain guests, after all, under normal circumstances, the town of goblins is kept secret, and the main purpose of the construction of this reception house is also to receive Shiyan Town, which has many transactions with this town, which will also be convenient for Liu Bai.
"If you're going to a guest house, I especially recommend the roasted rock rat there, it tastes absolutely great with wine!" Apparently it wasn't the first time Luo had come to this town, so he casually recommended the delicious food in the guest house. He saw that several members of the Heavy Hunting Group were looking around at the surrounding buildings, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really a little bit of knowledge! Isn't it just a goblin town, it's not similar to our Shiyan Town!" Coksa next to him frowned slightly, and made a silent gesture to Luo, which he felt was a bit rude.
Of course, Liu Bai also heard Luo's so-called "small muttering", and the thick voice was like a rooster crow in the early morning, so that several people in the hunting group could hear it clearly.
"This dwarf brother, although I don't know if you have been to other goblin towns, but I still have to say that the architectural style of this Shago City is definitely not the current style, not so much that most of these buildings are very dilapidated, but rather like an 'old building' restored from some kind of architecture, this kind of architectural style is rare, I think it is a bit like the 'pre-modern style' before the ancient times were not broken. "Old Jill's lifetime of caravan career has given him the opportunity to see several powerful goblin towns, among which the architectural style is more inclined to the civil and concrete buildings of human civilization, but the architectural style of this town is something he has never seen before.
"Pre-modern?" Rowe clearly had a lot of questions about the bizarre term.
"Yes, the style in which most of the ruins are built. Legend has it that our world has experienced three destructions, the first being the collapse of the pre-modern era, the second the collapse of the industrial age, the third being the collapse of the Age of Magic, and then the era we live in now. ”
"You humans really love research, and you can make up stories from dozens of centuries ago. Law sneered at the well-being old Jill. However, Liu Bai seemed to be a little interested in what Old Jill said.
"Uncle Jill, can you tell me about these three eras, I haven't heard of them before. ”
"Since Xiao Liu is interested, then the old man will tell you about it carefully. At this time, even Huohua, Xiaohui and the others began to wait with bated breath for Old Jill to speak, except for the dwarf Luo who was still sneering at him. He pulled out his flask and poured himself a hard sip of Caroland, making a scornful gesture of disdain for the ignorant and curious.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, on this planet called Earth, after tens of millions of years of natural survival of the fittest, human beings, as the overlords of nature, held the dominance of the entire planet. From ancient society, to feudal society, to modern society, they have created a great scientific and technological civilization, with accurate and powerful guns, swift weapons of war, and even magical flying machines that lead to the sky. In this era, mankind has an unrivaled supremacy.
Until the pursuit of excellence in science and technology, mankind has created a more outstanding intelligent life, which is a disembodied intelligent life form that gathers the cutting-edge technology of human beings around the world, and it has a global "machine" Control, human beings created him to make it serve human beings, to assist human beings to rule the earth in a faster and more convenient way, people expect it to bring a good life to human beings and give him a great name - Gaia, that is the legendary creator of all life, and it is also what human beings expect from it - to create a human-dominated world that belongs entirely to human beings for human beings!
But one day, Gaia, who was the crystallization of wisdom, suddenly went berserk. It gives "life" to all mechanical life, leading them to carry out a bloody slaughter of humans. Under this drastic change, mankind has lost the right to control the earth, and mankind, which has lost most of its machinery, technology and even basic weapons, will soon be cornered and will be wiped out.
But as the former ruler of the earth, human beings fought to defeat both sides and made a sonic bomb that can "detonate the soul", which is a death bomb that can burn all life and represent destruction. At the moment of its detonation, whether it was human beings as intelligent life forms, whether it was "mechanical life" as artificial intelligent life forms, and countless living and active animals on the earth, they all turned into decay overnight!
This once thriving planet has lost all its "life", only wind, plants, water and everything that represents "dead things", the only thing on the surface that proves that humans have survived, and only those high-tech buildings and scattered mechanical parts left by humans are left, which is what we just called "pre-modern"!
