Chapter 1: The Borderless City
Xiliang City is a small and medium-sized city, without any defensive facilities and appliances, the city wall has also collapsed, and the battlements are also missing arms and legs, which makes people know at a glance that it is the result of disrepair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, a young man who looked very depressed was looking at the city in confusion, the name of the city engraved on the city gate was blurred, but he could still barely see the word "Xiliang" engraved in Liti; The young man shook his head, there was not even a single guard at the gate of the city, if it was still the Warring States period, it would have been in the pocket of others long ago.
Looking back at the young people standing in front of the city gate and looking at this city, there is no difference between it and the city; Dressed in gray-white shabby clothes, a pair of straw sandals, and messy hair, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a knife hanging from his waist, many people would directly think that he was a beggar, and his face was not very good, a layer of gray and black, but his eyes were bright, revealing incomparable firmness and a hint of excitement. This young man is the hermit.
He came out, out of the desert known as the Land of Death, and the Sky Hermit did not show off his equipment, but chose to show off his clothes. When I came to Xiliang City, it was already two days away from the desert, and the hermit rushed to Xiliang City unhurriedly along the way, and met many monsters along the way, just by the hermit to try the knife, familiar with the knife technique, but usually one knife out, two knives were not sent, the monster has been killed, and then found in the monster manual that these monsters were the most high-level of the second order, in just two days, the monster manual of the hermit added more than 30 kinds of monsters, such as: small grass vines, dead wood monsters, fruit demons, vipers and so on some small monsters; In addition, the hermit also found that after coming out of the desert, the characters will have a sense of hunger after a certain period of time, and must eat three meals a day, fortunately, there are rabbits, pheasants and other animals in the wild, the hermit did not pay attention to any capture methods at all, and directly stabbed the past, and divided these poor little animals into two, and then used the most primitive method to drill wood for fire barbecue, this may be the first time Geng Liming grew up to barbecue something to eat, after all, there is no barbecue in real life, but directly fried.
Although it is said that it is a little burnt, but how to say that it is also roasted by itself, so the hermit pinched his nose and ate it, and after the end of the experience, the hermit sent himself to roast the better, but the worst point is that the package space does not allow players to put the game in it for storage, is it afraid that it will expire? Eating a bad stomach?
Just before the hermit arrived in Xiliang City, he also roasted a whole wild boar, and what he didn't expect was that the system had a prompt message: Congratulations to the player Tianhermit for understanding the method of survival in the wild "barbecue". After seeing it, the hermit thought to himself: In the future, he can make a living by selling barbecue, and if there are seasonings and the like, it will definitely be more delicious.
The Sky Hermit standing in the middle of the door was particularly eye-catching, but he just glanced at it casually, because the Sky Hermit was really worthless except for a blue and cold knife. Suddenly, the hermit noticed that someone was approaching him, and he took his hand and dragged the hermit to a tea stall on the side of the road.
It was the boss of this tea paralysis who pulled the hermit, and when the hermit saw him before, he knew that this old man was just a very ordinary NPC resident of the game, so the hermit didn't have any resistance, but just looked at the old man suspiciously.
But the old man was full of horror and said to the hermit: "Child, don't you want to die? Don't think that you are a master with a knife, you don't look like a master when you look like this, child, you just came to Xiliangcheng and don't know the situation, no one here has just taken the middle road, and you have to walk on both sides, otherwise you will lose your life. ”
All this was very surprising and curious for the hermit, and then it was only under the old man's narration that he knew what happened here and why he died in the middle of the walk.
Xiliang City, a city without an owner. The Celestial Empire has abandoned this place for thousands of years, so it will be so dilapidated, Xiliangcheng will often suffer from the harassment and robbery of horse thieves, the residents who live here have the ability to go, and those who are not able to go and the nostalgia of the hometown stayed, and then came to many poor people's homes, the original residents of Xiliangcheng did not exclude outsiders because they were locals, but received them very warmly, so that they could live and be self-reliant, and the horse thieves did not come often, occasionally once in half a year, Collect some grain things, and the horse thieves also know that they have been robbed of poverty here and are not forced, but there is one thing that is necessary, each family must pay a certain amount of food; Life gradually settled down, but the good times didn't last long, here came a group of people from the rivers and lakes (should be players) said that this place is under their control, and they must pay money as protection money, otherwise they will bear the consequences, three days have not passed, and they were directly killed by the horse thieves, but then several groups of people came one after another, it seems that it is not all the way, and the horse thieves were repelled this time, after all, the horse thieves are good at field warfare. In the end, Xiliangcheng was divided by seven forces, and the seven forces often had disputes to kill, and also caused trouble to the surrounding villagers, and also clearly stated that they could only walk in the middle of the road, otherwise they would be arrested as laborers if it was light, and crippled or killed on the spot if it was heavy.
After listening to the old man's words, the hermit sneered a little, were these players abused too much by NPCs and came here to take revenge? Borderlands? It's really a mixed area of dragons and snakes. The Heavenly Hermit looked up at the city.
The hermit found that the old man's eyes seemed to be a little moist. Then, the old man looked up and down at the hermit again, turned his head to the ceramic seller next to him and said, "Ma San, I'll go home, you can help take a look at the stall." ”
Ma San also looked at the hermit and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you are still so enthusiastic." ”
In their eyes, the hermit didn't find any trace of disdain and disgust, but the players who came and went here cast a disdain and disdain at the hermit, and the hermit ignored a faint sneer, and really responded to the sentence "people rely on clothes".
"Uncle, are you going to take me there?" The hermit asked.
"Child, your clothes are torn, tattered and smelly, go to the old man's house to take a bath and change your clothes."
The hermit didn't say anything more, just silently followed the old man and walked into the city.
The old man walked on the side of the road with the hermit, and found that the hermit was looking around, so he said: "These shops are forcibly occupied by those people in the rivers and lakes to open, but they don't necessarily have any good business, that is, the business was still very hot a few years ago to sell water and escape the summer, but unfortunately hundreds of thousands of people ran into the desert to die, I really don't know what they wanted, knowing that there is no way back to the desert and dare to go in." ”
Along the way, the old man told the hermit a lot about the city, and the more he walked, the more he found that the house was more and more dilapidated, and there were even some knife wounds and sword marks on the walls.
The old man said helplessly: "Those people in the rivers and lakes are reluctant to make trouble in the shops on the street, so they go to remote places to kill, and it will be like this." ”
As they approached, the hermit heard bursts of innocent laughter like wind chimes, and the old man smiled, and in front of them there were more than a dozen children in shabby clothes and bare feet playing, very happy. Even the hermit smiled kindly when he saw it.
Later, when he entered the old man's house, the old man rummaged through the box a few times, took out a set of gray and blue old clothes, and said to the hermit with a smile: "I will wear it, child." ”
At this moment, the hermit trembled violently in his heart, and stretched out his trembling hands to take the clothes in the old man's hands.
I don't know how many times better a set of clothes is than the worn-out clothes on my body.
