Chapter 55: The Shining City
Waking up early in the morning, the team packed their bags.
Today is the last day of the journey, and they should be able to reach the "City of Radiance" in the evening.
The countess didn't say anything what to do with the barbarian girl, and no one else paid any attention to her, so she hung from the spider cart. However, as a doctor, Wren occasionally went to check her physical condition.
Probably this barbarian girl cried for a long time yesterday when she looked at the corpse of her companion, and she was also hungry for a day and a night, and she lost her strength. Today she seems extraordinarily quiet.
......
Early in the morning, the team set off.
Wren thought about it and took another piece of roast meat.
Aunt Susan's cooking skills didn't say, the barbecue was golden and oily, and the meat was fragrant.
But the savage girl still didn't seem to appreciate it, and stubbornly turned her head away.
Wren shrugged his shoulders, he didn't plan to put a hot face on his cold ass, anyway, starving to death had nothing to do with him.
But suddenly, he thought of something and spat out a strange syllable: "Eat." ”
He spoke not the lingua franca, but the mellow tone of the barbarian girl's voice.
This is a barbaric word that "Zhi Brain" analyzes by analyzing the context and may mean "eating".
But because there is too little reference data and Zhibrain is not sure, he just trys.
But as soon as these words came out, the girl seemed to have heard something incredible, and a pair of bright black eyes looked at Crain, full of shock.
Hey... It seems to be right.
Wren thought it was quite interesting in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said one more word: "You... Eat..."
In the same way, it is the "you" analyzed by the "intelligent brain".
At this time, the savage girl could no longer be calm, and said in a chirp: "&*%ф%¥ё¥..."
Look at her stunned little eyes, probably meaning to ask: Do you speak our language?
Wren only understood one syllable, probably "you".
I barely said two words, and it is impossible to say it into a complete dialogue.
He could only smile slightly, and handed over the roast again.
This time, the Savage Maiden did not look away, and looked at Wren suspiciously, as if she felt that she should leave a useful body. Then she bit down on a large piece of flesh viciously, as if it had been ripped from those damned invaders.
Wren didn't care, and fed a few more bites, as if he was feeding a poor stray kitten.
......
Not far away, Canosa also noticed this scene, and the corners of her mouth raised a slight smile: "Huh... I thought the barbarian would starve to death, but I didn't expect to eat. Our Dr. Wren seems to be quite relatable..."
Beside her, the butler Benjamin reported: "President, there was a strange aura that stayed in our camp last night, and it should be someone from Blackwater Terrace. ”
Hearing this, Canossa did not have any surprise on her face.
She said lazily, "With you here, those guys at Blackwater Terrace probably wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything... Originally, I was interested in seeing what those guys had stolen from the Savage Tribe, but now it seems that I can't figure it out for a while. ”
After a pause, she said again, "That's it, the matter over there in the temple is more important, and this girl can't bring it." Here, let the people in the Chamber of Commerce watch it for the time being, and if it doesn't work, take over, don't let our little doctor kill the guys from Blackwater. I also want to see if he can surprise me a little more..."
Butler: "Got it, President." ”
......
In the evening, before nightfall, Raymond and his men rushed to the Ringing Wind Pass of the "Alcoron Mountains".
Behind the towering snow-capped mountains is a vast plain stretching as far as the eye can see.
And on the plains, a steel giant city is like a hideous black dragon entrenched on the earth. Viewed from above, the chimneys of the mechanical city stand tall and billowing white smoke.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wren wouldn't have believed that behind this extremely remote mountain range, there would be such a steel city!
The entire city is composed of five "Beamon Lord-level" super-large mechanical cities, like a standard pentagram formation.
This is the legendary Holy Land of Magicians, the only great mage among the human transcendents, and the "City of Radiance" established by the [Great Polymath] Kavo Ramirez, who is recognized as the number one [Great Polymath] in the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters"!
Eighty years ago, Cavo advanced to the title of "Top Ten Legends". After that, the other nine people on the list changed a few times, but he is still alive.
Now, no one knows how strong this legendary mage is.
Even, even the [Enma] Black Mos Sakaria, who is currently the first enshrined in the court of the Omar Empire and is also one of the "Ten Legends", has to pay a junior salute to this Kavo master.
It's a city of wonders.
When Wren saw this city, he was also shocked by its scale, it really seemed like a "utopia".
The mountain road they came to was the only road leading to the "Shining City", but it was impossible for large machinery to pass through it. How much manpower would it take to build such a majestic city in such a place?
But that Archmage Carlo had spent decades building a lonely city on this side of the Hengduan Mountains.
It is precisely because of the natural barrier formed by this "Alcolon Mountains" that the two empires are helpless against this special city even if they know about it.
......
Arriving at Xiangfeng Pass, the employment mission of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment" ended.
After the separation, the regimental commander Bart led the team back the same way.
After all, they would rather spend the night in the wilderness than spend the high cost of entering the city.
The "Shining City" has a very special system, that is, the "contribution system".
If you stay in the city, you have to deduct a little contribution every day.
This "contribution value" can be exchanged for money, about 10,000 miles in exchange for a little.
This means that when outsiders enter the city, even if they don't do anything, they will spend 10,000 yuan a day in "asylum fees".
This high entry fee is higher than that of any human city, which is equivalent to several months' salary for the low-level civilians of the Omar Empire.
But in fact, there is another way in the city that it is very easy to obtain "contribution points".
That is, you can pick up tasks in the town hall, such as hunting, mapping the wasteland, collecting materials, exploring ruins, escorting supplies...
Generally speaking, for basic work such as moving bricks and repairing city walls, boilermakers, two days' salary is about a little contribution. But the actual value created by this job may be less than 1,000 miles, but a little contribution can be exchanged for 10,000 miles.
Outsiders don't get this kind of easy work, because it's reserved for the orphans of permanent residents who died in the war.
Therefore, there is almost a tenfold difference between taking money to buy contribution points directly and receiving tasks in exchange.
This is the most important reason why the "Shining City" is called a paradise for hunters, there are no idlers in the city, and they will encourage people to go on adventures instead of staying in the city to have fun!
The vast majority of foreign wilderness hunters will choose to take the mission out of the city to hunt on the first day they enter the city...
As long as they can successfully complete a few missions in the wild, they can earn a large number of contribution points, and in exchange for money, they can return to their hometown to become a small rich.
Of course, here, in addition to the speculative hunters who dream of getting rich overnight, there are more "dream chasing places" where the caster sequence is transcendent and pursues to become stronger!
Because, there is a top-level magician inheritance here that cannot be matched by the two imperial royal academies!
From magic apprentices, to elementary, intermediate, and advanced magicians, to magisters...
Whether it is elemental magic, or all kinds of black magic, mysterious spells, you can find the corresponding inheritance here.
Many famous spellcasters have experienced learning in the "City of Radiance".
The [Great Polymath] Master Cavo is known as the most knowledgeable being in the human race, and has established a complete and all-encompassing learning and promotion system for the caster sequence in the "Radiant City".
Potions, magic materials, all kinds of spells, arcane, staffs, equipment...
The city's shop windows are always filled with the best magical products of human civilization.
It is a place of great adventure, the remains of an ancient civilization that has never been explored...
This is the mecca of the free!
