Chapter Seventy-Four: The City of Saarir
Speaking of which, I really have to be grateful to Edith, although I was able to sleep well after enjoying Yubari's knee pillow service, but Luo Yun, whose organs in his body have not completely recovered from sleep, still feels that he has no appetite, originally he was going to eat some snacks casually and wait for Saeri City to find a place to have a good meal, but since Edith has a heart, he doesn't have to grieve his stomach.
Open this delicate food box divided into three layers, in addition to a few delicate dishes that are quite popular with women, there are also two stewed pork knuckles that are simmered and then grilled with charcoal fire to make the meat fragrant, this pure meat has never been popular with women, but Luo Yun has no objection, adhering to the spirit of being happy alone is better than being happy together, Luo Yun directly entered the carriage from the carriage to the frame with the two horses, and Kate nibbled one by one.
While gnawing on her elbow, Kate also took out a fist-sized sauce-yellow porcelain bottle from the jacket beside her and handed it to Luo Yun.
This half-catty porcelain bottle is filled with Kate's home-brewed grain wine, although the degree is not comparable with those liquor that has been distilled at high temperatures, but according to the standards of the previous life, it also looks like twenty or thirty degrees, which is already a big burden for ordinary people like Luo Yun who have not been trained at the wine table and have no vindictiveness, after making a bottle with Andrew Kate and them last night, Luo Yun felt a little top-heavy, and the sequelae of the hangover was not completely eliminated until just now, and at this moment, seeing Kate hand over another bottle, Luo Yun couldn't help but feel a little numb.
It's just that it's hard to be gracious, and with a wry smile imperceptibly, Luo Yun took the wine bottle, took a shallow sip from the mouth of the bottle, the spicy liquid went down his throat, and the hot throat made Luo Yun cough lightly with some discomfort, and hurriedly took a few bites of the fat elbow in his hand.
didn't speak, in the deep night, the two of them just gnawed on the barbecue without a bite, but there was also an inexplicable pride, and when the convoy walked out along the trade road for about an hour, a brightly lit city appeared in Luo Yun's sight.
Kate, who was on the side, couldn't help but stand up on the frame and look at the big city in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise: "My lord, is that the city of Saarier, it's my first time here, but it feels a lot bigger than our Baishan Town." ”
"This Sarier City is the capital of the province, with at least 500,000 permanent residents, and there are only a few people in Baishan Town, how can it be compared." Luo Yun couldn't help laughing and scolding, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but sigh, the scale of this Sarier City is indeed quite large, looking from a distance, the dazzling lights in the city almost reflect this big city within a radius of more than ten miles as if it were day, and its prosperity can be seen.
Unlike Kate, Luo Yun once lived in the era of highly developed economy in his previous life, and his vision was naturally much higher, this Sarier City was only equivalent to the fourth and fifth tier cities in terms of population and scale, but you must know that it was a modern society with highly developed productivity at that time, and this continent was only in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society at this time, although it had a strong force, it was not easy to develop to such a scale.
It seems that because the destination is already in sight, the speed of the entire convoy is gradually increasing, and as the distance closes, Luo Yun can also take a closer look at this historic city by the bright lights at the head of the city.
The city wall of this Sarier city is nearly ten meters high, the whole body is made of bluestone, revealing a sense of unshakable power, and every hundred meters on the city wall is placed a trebuchet with a precise structure of about three or four meters high, next to the base of each trebuchet is placed a circle of more than ten oval stone projectiles the size of a human head, with the strength of these trebuchets to throw these ammunition thousands of meters away, can cause great damage to the enemy's war machine, but in Luo Yun's opinion, the power of these trebuchets is still slightly smaller, Not to mention that Maya's 203mm cannons are much stronger than the attacks of these trebuchets even if they blow snow, I am afraid that during the battle, the enemy can simply send a few swordsman-level powerhouses to guard before their own combat equipment can stop these incoming stone bullets, and almost no huge damage will be done.
However, Luo Yun quickly changed his mind, as the carriage approached, a spire black tower dozens of meters high entered Luo Yun's sight, and a dark blue flame on the top of the black tower continued to twist and rise like a whirlpool, and after watching it for a long time, there would be a strange feeling that the soul was involved.
Kate, who was next to her, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she looked at the spire tower, and asked in amazement, "My lord, isn't that the Mage Tower?" ”
"If nothing else, it should be that thing." Luo Yun crossed his arms and looked at the light flame at the top of the tower and muttered.
On this continent, only a powerful mage at the level of a magician is qualified to have a magic tower, and the magic tower is not only the residence of a magician and a place to teach disciples, but also a powerful magician, through the blessing of the many magic circles engraved in the magic tower, both the magician's casting distance and magic power will be greatly improved, and looking at the dark blue flame on the top of the tower and the tower body divided into seven layers, the owner of this magic tower should be a seventh-level water magician, And in this magic tower, the strength that this lower-level magician-level mage can exert will be greatly enhanced, and even infinitely close to the ninth-level high-level magician.
Different from the warrior professionals who exercise their physical body and fighting spirit, magicians temper their spiritual power wholeheartedly, and through communication with external magic elements, they can release powerful magic, and compared with other professions, magic has high requirements for the talent of cultivators, like Du Lan had the idea of practicing magic before, but he had no choice but to have poor talent, and he finally gave up until he was ten years old, and the extremely high difficulty of cultivation corresponded, Mages have the undisputed strongest attack power of any class in their class, and if they are given enough time to cast spells, their attacks can inflict lethal damage on the next level of powerhouse.
Glancing at the tower again, Luo Yun couldn't help but be a little amazed in his heart, this Sarir City is worthy of being the capital of the province There will be a magician stationed in it, and most mages will more or less dabble in some alchemy fields, and it may be very difficult for some of them to refine powerful magicians, but enchanting items is only the foundation of the basics, like the stone projectiles used by the trebuchets before enchanted it by consuming some magic materials, and then launched by the trebuchet, Its power is not inferior to that of some low-level magic, and its lethality to the dense formation of warriors is not much inferior to that of Maya's medium-caliber naval guns.
When there was some sigh in his heart, the whole caravan had also arrived at the foot of the city of Särr, it seemed that the belonging of this caravan was identified by the family coat of arms on the carriage, and a group of more than a dozen sergeants in black heavy armor quickly removed the barricades placed outside the city gate, and Kale, who was riding on the strongest side of the caravan to lead the way, smiled and arched his hand to the city gate guards, and with a wave of his hand, the whole caravan sped up along the main street of Sär City towards the stronghold of the Kalland Chamber of Commerce located in the west of the city.
Although it was already night at this time, the major shops on both sides of the main road of Sarir City were brightly lit, quite a feeling of a metropolis that Luo Yun had seen in his previous life, and the citizens wandering up the streets also caused some obstacles to the progress of the caravan carriage, but perhaps it was the deterrence of the family coat of arms of the Kallan family on the carriage, but no one would be congested in front of the carriage, and the huge convoy soon arrived at the stronghold of the Kallan family in Saril City.
And when Luo Yun almost laughed out loud when he saw this manor of the Kallan family, the horizontal and vertical architectural style carved out of almost the same mold as the Kallan manor in Baishan Town, and the cornflowers in the garden, it was no wonder that Edith had such a big grudge against the taste of the family elders.
As guests of the Callan family, Luo Yun and his party accepted the invitation of Edith to participate in a small but quite large standard reception banquet, and then returned to the guest room of the Karlan family under the leadership of the maid, and at this time Luo Yun finally had time to do something of his own.
