Chapter 221: Dia City
"I see, but since you are the original inhabitants, how can you have anything to do with the forces?" Lin Xuan asked suspiciously.
"We don't want to, if our original inhabitants don't organize their own forces, I'm afraid we will have to be driven out of the Middle Regions sooner or later. We don't want to leave our hometown, so we can only organize our own forces to protect us, the original inhabitants. That's why it's like this!" Ora said helplessly.
"Oh, it seems that your natives are not living very well!" Qingfeng asked curiously.
"It's not just bad, if it weren't for the original inhabitants slowly uniting, I'm afraid they would have been driven out a long time ago. Not to mention the two major races of orcs and elves, just some strong people in the outside world have already made us unable to resist. Because of this, the central position of the Central Domain has been grasped by the three major forces. And we, the aborigines, have been deported to the periphery. So the big and small forces are slowly building, and our forces are the same, but they are relatively backward!" Euler explained.
"The Central Domain is so big, haven't you thought about resisting, I believe that there must be a lot more original inhabitants than outsiders, right?" Lin Xuan asked directly.
"At first, everyone didn't think so, but when people noticed, it was already too late! There was no existence of the Battle Spirit Hall in the Middle Domain, so there were very few original inhabitants who had awakened martial spirits, and because of this, there were even fewer people who could become strong. And the guys who came in outside were full of evil, and any one of them who came out was not weak. Because of the vast land and sparsely populated area, we can't unite at all! It is precisely because of this that we will send people to the surrounding area to see if there are any new people to enter the finally, and then invite them to join and strengthen our own power!"
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of mercenaries who will enter the Middle Domain to do missions. We are also a mercenary group, do you even want to invite a mercenary group?" Qingfeng smiled.
"We won't follow mercenary groups above C, but you're only E-class, that's why I'm like that!" Ora said smugly.
"Alright, let's take us to your city first! It's important to buy a map!"
Euler nodded. "Come with me! It's not far from here to our city of Dia. ”
So, Euler led the people of the Tempest towards the city of Dia.
Since crossing the rope bridge, everyone has completely lost the breath of death in the death forest, and Shao Yue's mood has also improved a lot. It wasn't until dawn that the crowd came to the city of Dia, which Euler had spoken.
"That's what you're talking about, isn't it far?" said Harley to Ola in a depressed voice.
"It's not that far, and if you want to go to other cities, you'll probably have to walk for at least three days!" Euler explained.
"Don't say it, let's talk about it when we go into the city!" Lin Xuan smiled.
A few hundred meters away from everyone, it was Dia City, what made Lin Xuan and the others puzzled was that there were more than a dozen guards at the location of the city gate, and Dia City seemed to be about the same size as Orna Town at most. Compared to the dozens of guards at the Orna Gate, the number of guards here is indeed much larger.
The crowd followed Euler to the city gate, where they were immediately stopped, and one of the guards approached them and asked, "Are you newcomers or mercenaries?"
"I'm a spy in the city, and this is my token. They're mercenaries who have come in and traveled!" Ora said, holding out a sign and handing it to the mercenary. After reading the sign, the mercenary didn't say anything, and said directly: "Mercenaries, I hope you don't make trouble in the city!"
With that, the guards got out of the way, and the people of the wind entered Dia City smoothly. When they came to the city, everyone immediately noticed the difference between the cities here and the cities in the four empires. Because it's all bungalows. And there aren't a lot of people on the streets. But everyone had a smile on their faces.
"The people here look very happy!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
Qingfeng nodded and said, "It does look very happy, but the economy here may not even be as good as Orna Town!
Hearing the words of the two, Euler explained, "Indeed, the number of merchants in the Mid-Domain is not very large. The people also make their own living, and it's not so much a city as a myriad of villages!"
"If that's the case, what are you building such a big city, it's a lot of money!" Qingfeng looked at Ora suspiciously.
"This is also a means to protect the common people! If there is no city, other forces will fight here, and the people will not be able to make a living? The city is to block the invasion! Almost all adults have to serve in the city guards. ”
"Oh, no wonder a few of them haven't even cultivated at all!" Qingfeng said with a sudden realization.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the grocery store, where you can sell maps!" Ora said, leading the group straight into the depths of the city.
Along the way, everyone saw many women and children, but there were not many young and strong men. Harley turned to Euler and asked, "What about the men in the city, why can't you see any of them?"
"At this time, they should have all gone out of the city to farm, and behind our Dia City, there is a large field, which is also the economic source of our city. The people of a city are all pointing to that piece of land to live!" Ola walked while introducing everything to everyone in Dia City, and Lin Xuan and the others were naturally very interested in listening.
There are no nobles in the Middle Realm, and there are no nobles. Everything is respected by the strong. The strong enslave the weak. But as long as you are willing to work hard to cultivate, you will basically be reused, because everyone can become a martial artist, so a few years ago, almost everyone began to cultivate Dou Qi, and Euler was one of them. Of course, there are still many people who are happy with what happens.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group came to a grocery store, where an old man was smoking a cigarette and waiting for the customer to take care of him.
After everyone walked in, Lin Xuan was directly stunned. This old man Lin Xuan looked very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, this guy was the old man who sold dragon slaying swords and black silk armor in the fortress city of the Vermilion Bird Empire. Because these two things were very important to Lin Xuan, so after so many years, the old man's appearance was still clear in Lin Xuan's mind.
"It's you!" Lin Xuan looked at the old man in surprise.
The old man slowly raised his head: "You know me?"
"Do you still recognize this?" Lin Xuan finished speaking, and took off his coat, revealing the black silk armor on his body.
"I don't know!" said the old man casually.
"How can you not know it, you take a closer look!" Lin Xuan said to the old man.
"I really don't know, this little brother, what do you want to buy? There hasn't been a lot of business lately, I can give you a discount!" the old man asked with a smile.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and found that although the old man in front of him was dressed differently from that time, his appearance was indeed exactly the same. But there was one thing that made Lin Xuan very puzzled, and that was the momentum on the old man's body. The old man didn't have the momentum of the old man back then, although he also had the strength of the sect level, but it still seemed to be a lot worse than the old man back then.
So, Lin Xuan could only say helplessly: "Maybe I'm recognizing the wrong person, boss, bring us a map of the Middle Domain, the more detailed the better!"
"It's a coincidence that you've come here, I've really got a good map of the Middle Regions recently, it's very accurate! It's hard to get such an accurate map! Of course, the price will definitely not be less!" the old man said as he took down a sheepskin scroll from the shelf behind him and put it in front of Lin Xuan and the others.
Then he took out another parchment scroll, which was noticeably smaller than the one before. also put it in front of Lin Xuan and the others, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is cheaper, but it is also rougher." One gold coin, the first one to take out the five hundred gold coins!"
"Damn, old man, why don't you grab it!" said Harley, surprised.
"Grandpa Domta, they were brought by me, give them cheaper!" Ora said to the old man as he squeezed forward.
"Ora, why did you come back, how are you, have you found a decent newcomer?" asked the old man with a smile.
"They're very strong, but they're just mercenaries, if you can keep them, then even if Baikai City attacks, you will definitely be able to stop them!" Ora smiled.
PS: The egg hurts, I drank too much in the morning, and when I woke up, it was this point, and I only coded out a chapter, and the rest of the code was finished before twelve o'clock!
