Chapter 675: A Trip to the Swamp (4)

Vincent also said: "Actually, it's a little early to pick it now, and it can be better preserved when I go back, but I don't know who will pick it at that time......

The team was collecting as they walked, and Vincent knew that we had known each other before, and he was a little reluctant to let go, so I asked him, "Is the turtle shell light armor done last time?" ”

Vincent said: "I have to wait for half a month, it is said that a senior magician made it, slow down, and the quality is guaranteed by the fishing gulls." ”

I said, "It's a pity that I haven't learned alchemy yet, otherwise I would have done it myself and I guess it would have been faster, and I would have made shamanic talismans quite quickly." ”

Vincent said, "Don't bother you, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days!" ”

The five rangers could all tell that I was preparing to recruit Vincent as their new subordinate, and they all chatted with him.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the team gradually became lively.

It was noon when we set out, and in the evening we set up camp on a dry gravel beach.

Speaking of which, because it was the outskirts of the swamp, we also encountered some monster attacks, except for the road was a little difficult to walk, the air was a little humid, and occasionally there were some bad smells of mud and fog, but we also walked very smoothly.

The five rangers acted in an orderly manner, skillfully setting up tents, setting up stoves, and arranging sentry fortifications, and Vincent asked curiously, "How long have you been here?" They all look like veterans......"

Kobold Glas said, "A month, right? However, we are also rangers in the Kalmdo steppe, often in the wild, and we are used to it. ”

Shawshank said, "I've heard of you, wandering mage, Vincent the quick!" I mean, in the steppes ......"

Vincent said, "I didn't expect that I have a reputation in the orc grassland? That's a bit of a surprise......"

Leo said, "Kuaishou? Where is he fast? Show two tricks to see? ”

I said, "Are you going to make some noise again?" ”

Leo said: "I find that your title system is a bit unreliable. ”

I said, "Don't you have one on earth?" I think you're pretty good at giving people nicknames. ”

Leo said: "At least it won't be added directly to the name, and the nickname is also good and bad, and it will be changed, which is like you, if you don't do it, it will be with you for a lifetime." ”

"Don't worry about that," I said, "and there's an opportunity." ”

The kobold said, "We want to see the strength of Kuaishou." ”

Vincent said modestly: "To be honest, in front of His Excellency Bihon, my strength is not worth mentioning......"

In the midst of a relaxed conversation, dinner was ready.

We gathered around for dinner like a normal adventuring party, and the kobolds and horned sheep were more proactive.

I can also see that the status of the legal profession on the human side is much higher than that of the warrior profession, exceeding the gap between the priests and warriors of our orcs, so the kobolds and the argahorn sheep are also playing the role of the leader of the team, while the eagle man Sky Breaker Eddie, the camel man Serpent Double-Bladed Jabas and the Weasel Shadowless Gillette are standard warrior classes, so they naturally play a slightly lower role.

"I've heard that kobolds and trolls have a big difference in witchcraft from orc priests, and I've seen some orc priests, but I'm curious about the wizards' methods." Vincent picked up the topic again.

"There's a chance," said the kobold with a smile, "and from tomorrow onwards, there will be no peace in the swamp." ”

The horned sheep man said: "What I hate the most is the fish man, the whole body is stinky, there is nothing valuable, it is still difficult, it is better to meet a powerful monster, when the time comes, let's talk again!" ”

Vincent said, "That's fine! ”

I asked, "Do you have any other assignments?" ”

The kobold said: "It's just some simple acquisition tasks, the kind that will be effective for a long time." ”

I asked, "How is it compared to the savannah?" ”

The kobold said: "It's not good, the environment is too bad, and I often deal with poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and I'm a little unbearable as a wizard...... However, it is indeed a good place to make money, a little better than on the prairie. ”

I shook my head, "I didn't mean that, I was asking, what do you think of Santas City." ”

The kobold paused, and the argoner said, "Honestly, it's much better than on the steppe!" ”

I saw that he was serious, so I asked, "Why?" I always felt that equality here was coercive, and that inter-ethnic peace was not genuine. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Vincent's face became serious.

Add, the spear of the Sky Breaker on the side, said, "You...... In the past, he was a guardian warrior of the Minotaur Temple, and he probably couldn't understand the views of civilians, especially ordinary civilians, about the temple and the army, in fact, Animo City also wanted to achieve peaceful coexistence between races, but even the lion and tiger tribes couldn't set an example, let alone other races. ”

I was a little surprised, but also relieved, because he was telling the truth, not out of awe of me, the boss behind the scenes.

He continued: "Of course, it is not for nothing that there is no prejudice against civilians like you, it is just too rare. ”

I smiled: "I'm also a civilian among the guardian fighters, how can I have time to look down on ordinary civilians?" ”

"Yes," continued the Hawkman, "I used to be a nobleman, but when I let it go, not even the nobles of the Hawkmen, even the nobles of the Raven Pigeon People looked down on me. Moreover, I heard that the temple guardians of your clan will also be looked down upon by the temple guardians of Animo City, and they are also guardian warriors, and they still despise each other, you say, isn't it ridiculous? Counting the lion and tiger clans, it is even more absurd, but they cover them up better, if you have time to listen to how the civilians in the city make all kinds of vulgar jokes about the lion and tiger clans when they chat, you will know how majestic they are on the surface, and how funny they are behind the scenes......"

"And this kind of thing?" I'm a little weird.

"Hehe," Leo said, "this is the same everywhere, you don't allow people to say it, people will still say it behind their backs......"

The eagleman smiled and shook his head: "With your identity, of course, it is impossible to hear these people's remarks, if you are caught, these civilians will suffer......"

I said, "It seems that I have really become a nobleman in the eyes of the common people, but fortunately I am not a ...... now."

"Actually, you are considered a nobleman here," said the eagleman, "but here, even if everyone has any complaints in their hearts, they will put aside these prejudices and coexist peacefully because of the rules, and besides, the rulers here can really do not discriminate and do not favor any foreign race, which is the most important thing, and even if you stand on the street and personally express your dissatisfaction with others, as long as you do not use force, no one will come to sanction you, at most, only a warning to you." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned again.

That's not mentioned in the book.

"That's right," said Vincent, "anyone can express their grievances, and no one will sanction them if they don't do it, and everybody will only take the person who speaks for a fool...... It's interesting, but there are very few such fools these days......"

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

"Hey, strict about freedom? Is it so advanced? Leo said.

"I thought a lot of people were too angry to say anything...... I said.

"It's useless to say it," said the camel man, "and it doesn't mean that you don't care when you come out in the city, and it doesn't mean that you don't have it when you come out, and you should be quietly killed when you come out, so you should keep your mouth clean and don't make trouble for yourself." ”

I said, "Speaking of which, you still can't eliminate the factor of inequality, but it's better than Animo City." ”

Vincent said: "At least there is such a place where all races can get along, in fact, I think that each race has its own strengths and weaknesses, just like an adventuring team, there must be warriors and magicians and archers or thieves and assassins, and they can cooperate with each other to exert their maximum combat power, but the hatred between the races is too deep......"

"Without further ado," I said, "I've joined in now, and it's very inspiring to hear you express your opinions, and maybe in the future, I'll be like the owner of the tower and make some suggestions for improvement, and try to make Santas City better." ”

Vincent said: "Actually, Santas City is good enough, but the outside world is becoming more and more intolerant of them. ”

"Oh?" I said, "It doesn't matter if you can't tolerate it, anyway, there are still forces fighting each other, and if they can put aside their prejudices and join forces, there is no need for Santas to exist." ”

"You can't say that......," said Vincent, "you haven't seen a fight between humans, sometimes it is more cruel and shameless to fight than against orcs and elves, for the sake ......of profit, two countries with blood feuds can unite against a third country, and then continue to fight when they are done."

I've actually heard a lot of stories like this, and I still can't help but sigh: "You humans are indeed a bit complicated, but why is it not the case within the orcs?" ”

"Don't sigh," Leo said, "without the overall progress of civilization, it's useless to just talk about this, the current Santas is actually a utopia with hidden dangers, continue to develop, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed, neither mortals nor gods will like such a place to exist, and the only one who can change all this is you, the protagonist!" ”

I said, "You can really give yourself a long face." ”

Leo said: "If a man does not have this faith and ambition, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? ”

"What happened to the salted fish?" I say.

"Salted fish is a poor worm who can't turn over on its own for the rest of his life." Leo said.

"Do you want to say that when we take control of the Mage Tower, you will change the fate of the destruction of Santas City?" I said, "What does this have to do with rolling over?" ”
