Chapter 142: Two Floors and Four Domains (Part I)
"Okay, I'll arrange a private room for the two of you now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The boss let out a long breath, and seemed to have finally escaped the catastrophe. glanced at the clerk behind him, and the clerk behind him immediately understood.
"Please, two of you." The clerk made a gesture of please. At this moment, Wu Yu is still looking at the appearance of the store, from the outside it is still a house made of gray stones, but inside it is a clean floor paved with white tiles, the walls are also painted white, and the chandelier above the head still has a little European style, although the hotel is not very big, and most of it has to be provided for guests to live, so Wu Yu is already very satisfied with the current appearance.
Wu Yu nodded, and walked with the Beast King in the direction of the second floor. Looking at the figures of the three people, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief, he felt for the first time that the clerk who he had always felt stupid was so pleasing to the eye, and the clerk who had accidentally spilled vegetable soup on the customer countless times was so discerning.
It seems that it is time to think about giving him a salary increase. The boss nodded to himself.
In the private room on the second floor, the two of them had already sat down, as for the menu boss who had said that he wanted to treat himself, although the Beastmaster was not a person who cared about money very much, but in front of these two foodies, he very much thought that it was necessary for him to save his money and use it later.
"You go out first, just bring the food when it's ready, we still have something to discuss." Looking at the cup full of water in front of him, the Beastmaster nodded at the waiter, signaling that he was no longer needed here.
Seeing the Beastmaster nodding, the waiter naturally didn't dare to stay any longer, the things discussed by the executors were generally extraordinary, and they were not something that ordinary people like them could listen to at all.
Seeing the waiter close the door and go out, the Beastmaster's straight waist and lowered voice instantly let go, "Damn, I look so tired." Grass, next time Lao Tzu will definitely not pretend, if he doesn't leave the, Lao Tzu will definitely be exhausted. ”
The Beastmaster spread out on his chair, lazy for so many years, and suddenly had to pretend to be serious, which was indeed a bit difficult for him. Open your mouth and pour the fragrant tea in the cup directly into your mouth, "Boy, if there is anything you want to ask now, there is no one else here, about the second layer of what you want to know, as long as I know, I will tell you, but before that, I want to tell you about the things here." ”
"Remember the question just now, then now I will answer you, the land under your feet, it is neither a village nor a city, but a country."
"No need to be surprised, I know you might want to ask why a country has no walls and why a country is so small. Maybe you don't know much about the Western Regions, but this place is different from all the lands you know. You should still remember the land of the Northern Wilderness, where the ground is very hard, and there are almost no plants that can grow, but I can tell you that although the soil of the Northern Wilderness is hard, the lack of it does not mean that it is not suitable for the growth of plants, but the land here does not have any plants that can grow, because the soil here can be said to have no nutrients. ”
Wu Yu in front of him was full of astonishment, and he looked at the beast king with a look of disbelief.
"Okay, you can put away this expression of not seeing the world, surprise is surprise, but don't look at me with this expression as if you haven't seen anything, if this is outside, you will make me feel ashamed." Despise Wu Yu, what a rare opportunity this is for the Beastmaster, and he doesn't even need to hesitate, the words blurted out.
"I've studied this before, but then I came to the conclusion that even I was shocked." Stretched out his hand, Wu Yu's slightly open mouth, closed it hard, and the teeth collided together to make a crisp "cluck" sound, "The second layer of the northern region, there was originally no land, and the land here is all powder turned from stones, if you look at it from the ground outside, it is indeed dirt, but if you were here three thousand years ago, there is only sand and gravel on the ground, and the soil is just a very expensive thing." ”
"And even if it's a river here, they flow through a crack in the rock, and even if it's a huge river, their riverbed is just a hard boulder, and even that stone doesn't even have a gap." The Beastmaster took a sip of water and continued, "So in the Western Regions, the way of life here is different from all the lifestyles you have seen before. Do you really think that the people of the Western Regions worship power only because they simply worship it? Then you're wrong, if this is the Northern Regions, that's where your friend's family is. If this place is really as rich as the Northern Regions, and everyone has to do simple farming every day, and then they can meet their own food, clothing, shelter and transportation, will there still be people who practice their strength every day? ”
"You probably remember the question you asked me before, why people here want to build their own houses every day. Because they didn't just build their own house. It's a country, but it's just the outermost part of a country, and their houses are all made of the hardest stones, and they can all live in these houses now, but here, because there is no land to grow food, the only way they can get food is to use a lot of resources to get food in the north and south, and the only way to get resources here is war. ”
"That's why you don't see a big country here, because the first thing a country has to do here is to be able to feed its people, and if there is a big enough country here, then it means fighting day and night, because only fighting can give them enough resources to get more food."
"So the buildings you see now, they are the homes of the people at the moment, but if one day their country is invaded by others, then their own homes are the fortresses that the warriors use to fight. Buildings made of whole stone will have stronger defenses against foreign invasions. ”
"But the Western Regions have existed for so many years, what resources do they have that can be used in exchange for food? Even if there were, haven't all these years been exhausted? Wu Yu didn't quite understand, because he knew that there would never be an inexhaustible resource in this world.
Hearing his words, a smile suddenly appeared on the Beastmaster's face, but this smile was ugly and full of rich mockery, "You should still remember a sentence that everyone knew when you were on the first floor." In some cases, human beauty is also a resource. ”
