"It's getting dark, let's go, if the city gate is under martial law, we will sleep outside the city." After Ling Feixue finished speaking, she walked towards the Xiongcheng lying in the distance.

"Martial law?"

Yan Hua was obviously stunned, and seeing that Ling Feixue had already walked away, he hurriedly followed and asked, "Is there still martial law in this Star Energy Academy?" ”

Ling Feixue replied without looking back: "The Star Energy Academy is located in the northernmost part of the current human activities, adjacent to the Wanli Ice Field, and from time to time it will be harassed by the strange beasts on the ice field, for safety reasons, it will naturally be under martial law at night." ”

Yan Hua was a little puzzled: "Martial law can indeed ensure the safety of the academy, but if those supernatural beasts bypass this city, wouldn't it cause greater harm to the ordinary people in the gathering place?" ”

Ling Feixue replied: "Of course not, the Star Energy Academy is located at the pass of the Wall of Miracles, and it is almost impossible for the Ability Beast to bypass it. ”

"A wall of miracles?"

Yan Hua felt that this name was a little familiar, and after recalling it for a while, he realized that he had heard it in school, and hurriedly looked towards the city in the distance, and sure enough, he found that there was a rolling mountain shadow behind the city wall.

The Wall of Miracles is certainly not a man-made structure such as a city wall, but a mountain range that runs between the northern gathering place and the ice field.

Not only did this mountain range help protect humans from most of the cold air from the ice fields, but it also created the large habitable plains that now make up the north-south settlement. Moreover, it is also a natural barrier, forming two lines of defense in the north and south together with the Cambrian Academy in the southern gathering place, so that the humans living in it can avoid the dilemma of being surrounded by endless forests and ice fields.

It can be said that if it weren't for this mountain range, the human race would have been extinct long ago, but it would definitely not have been able to obtain such a large territory that could thrive, let alone gain a foothold so close to the Alien Beast.

And the wall of miracles also has a peculiarity, that is, the side of the mountain facing the ice field may have been eroded by the cold wind from the north for many years, and they are all almost vertical cliffs, except for flying, ordinary ability beasts cannot climb at all.

This is another reason why humans call it a miracle.

There is a wall of miracles, and if the Alien Beasts of the Thousands of Miles of Ice Field want to launch a large-scale attack, they must first break through to the Star Energy Academy at the only pass.

"And even if one or two strange beasts enter the hinterland by chance, they are just delivering food to the humans in the northern gathering place." Ling Feixue seemed to have thought of something, and added, "Even if it is a five-star ability beast, as long as it is not a particularly tricky type, it will definitely not be able to make waves here." ”

Yan Hua nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the strength of this Star Energy Academy is not small, and it can have so many super-capable people at least five-star to watch the entire gathering place. ”

Ling Feixue said: "The strength of the Star Energy Academy is not bad, but you can be mistaken, they don't have the ability to cover the entire northern gathering place on their own. ”

Yan Hua was a little stunned and said, "But teacher, didn't you just say that even a five-star ability beast can't make trouble here?"

"I said that, but it's not just the Star Energy Academy that is dealing with those strange beasts, it's the ordinary people here." Ling Feixue said with emotion, "The composition of the northern gathering place is very special, similar to the military region where the military and civilians lived together before the Dark Ages, and the personnel composition is not only superpowers, but also a large number of mercenaries composed of ordinary people. ”

Yan Hua asked, "Can a mercenary group composed of ordinary people fight against five-star ability beasts?" ”

Ling Feixue turned her head slightly and said, "Of course, these mercenary organizations are not just ordinary people, I deliberately picked out the non-superpowers and said that I just want to explain to you the particularity of almost all the people in the northern gathering place who are soldiers." ”

"I see!"

Ordinary people also have their own ways of survival, and there are many masters among them, which he knows from Cui Yun.

However, what Yan Hua didn't expect was that Cambrian still had a magical profession like mercenaries, and there were ordinary people who joined the ranks of fighting against dangerous beasts, and he felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

Then he had a new question: "Then are the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries the same as that of Big Brother Cui?" ”

In his mind, being able to fight against a five-star ability beast, even if he fights more and less, he will at least be a martial arts master of Cui Yun's level, and his evaluation of the northern gathering place in his heart can't help but improve a lot.

Judging from the fact that these mercenaries can fight against five-star level abilities, it is possible that the situation of human beings is not as bad as they imagined.

You can't see a spark that can start a prairie fire.

Even if there is only the peak combat power of Samsung, as long as they are united, it will definitely be a force that should not be underestimated.

Ling Feixue's next words shattered his illusions, "Cui Yun is already a rare master among ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't be so relied on by Xia Shang, and most of those mercenaries are only a little higher than the merchant guards." ”

Yan Hua was completely stunned: "Then how did they fight against the Strange Beast?" Is there some kind of high technology? ”

"This is what people have been puzzled about, although the combat power of these mercenaries is not worth mentioning, they always have an inexplicable deterrent to those ability beasts that break into the northern gathering place from the ice field.

Sometimes just a dozen people can subdue a five-star level ability beast, and even if it can't be killed, it can also be driven back to the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Field.

Even a little girl dares to run around with a four-star ability beast, and even if the ability beast is forced around the corner, she still doesn't even dare to fight back, don't you think it's strange? ”

After hearing this, the corners of Yan Hua's eyes couldn't help jumping, and he asked tentatively, "That little girl is a superpower?"

Ling Feixue shook her head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary ten-year-old girl." ”

Yan Hua asked again, "Is that four-star ability beast that was chased away a bear?" ”

Ling Feixue asked with a little surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"Sure enough!"

Yan Hua almost burst into tears, the feeling was like a wanderer in a foreign land suddenly seeing something from his homeland, and the throbbing of his heart was by no means something that could be described in a few words.

Although that bear-like ability beast is the biggest enemy of humans, he just wants to hug each other at the moment and say, "Lao Tie has worked hard."

Ling Feixue looked at Yan Hua, who seemed to be very emotional, and asked, "Could it be that you know the reason for this?" ”

Yan Hua nodded heavily and said, "I know a little bit about it, just like humans are afraid of snakes, the relationship between these bear-like supernatural beasts and the fighting nation is probably also something engraved in the genes." ”

"Is it a genetic instinct?" Ling Feixue thought for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked, "But what is the matter with the Battle Nation you are talking about?" Could it be that the humans in the northern agglomeration have other recessive evolutionary genes? ”

Yan Hua just said a stalk before the end of the day, but he didn't expect Ling Feixue to think so much, and he wanted to explain specifically but didn't know where to start, so he could only use questions instead of answers.

"Teacher, what do you think of the folk customs in the northern gathering place?"

Very good, this wave of operations is very spiritual, Yan Hua praised his wit.

After all, there are cultural differences of more than 10,000 years, and it is too troublesome to quote scriptures for some things, but it is still convenient and quick to come.

"The folk customs of the northern gathering places?" Ling Feixue thought for a moment, "If you could describe it in one word, I think it should be ......"

"Tough!"

Yan Hua was inexplicably excited.

"Simple!"

Ling Feixue is serious.

Ha?

Yan Hua was struck by lightning.

Well?

Ling Feixue's face was full of question marks.

......

The Xiongcheng under the Wall of Miracles is the Star Energy Academy, but such a large city naturally can't have only the teachers and students of the academy.

Regardless of its particularity similar to that of a military town, it is a great waste of resources to live in such a large area of empty territory with only the teachers and students of the academy.

Therefore, after Yan Hua and the others entered the city, the first thing they saw was not a school building, a playground and other buildings like Cambrian, but a commercial street and various pedestrians with swords and swords, and they didn't even find a person who seemed to be a teacher or a student.

"The teaching buildings and offices and other facilities of Xingneng Academy are in the north of the city. Here, you can use it as a common living area for the academy and these mercenaries. Ling Feixue only used one sentence to explain this phenomenon lightly, and then walked straight towards the depths of the city.

"Living quarters?" Yan Hua swore that he had never seen the living quarters of any academy look like this.

Not before; Right now...... Well, now it does see.

"This is what you mean by simple folk customs, teacher?"

Walking along the street for ten minutes, Yan Hua looked speechlessly at the two big men who were scuffling together in the center of the long street, and really didn't know how Ling Feixue came to such a conclusion.

Of course, this kind of thing depends on the masses as a whole, and we can't overturn a boatload of people with one stroke just because of some incidents that occasionally occur when certain people do.

That's regional black, and it's not advisable.

But who can explain how the residents of the Northland, who have had no less than ten brawls since entering the city in less than a kilometer, have been evaluated as "simple people"?

Is it because the times are changing too fast, or is there something wrong with my brain that I have reversed the meaning of the two words?

But it's been almost a year since I came to Cambrian, and I haven't found any communication barriers.

Although the Chinese language is broad and profound, it is also the language with the clearest meaning, and there should not be such an obvious loophole!

Ling Feixue said lightly: "Fights are all in a spacious place like the street, and it does not cause traffic congestion on the onlookers, doesn't this spirit of not causing trouble to others represent their simplicity?" ”

Yan Hua felt that what Ling Feixue said was so reasonable, and he was speechless...... That's weird!

"The impact of a street fight is very bad, okay! As for the lack of onlookers, this does not just prove that everyone is not surprised, but also shows the people's customs...... Anyway, it's definitely not related to simplicity. ”

Ling Feixue seemed to see through Yan Hua's thoughts, and suddenly stopped, pointing to the "battlefield" ten meters in front of her and the pedestrians who walked straight by without even looking at it.

"You see, even if the fight is so fierce, they didn't destroy the public facilities on the side of the road, let alone involve irrelevant pedestrians passing by, this kind of awareness is not available to many superpowers."

Ling Feixue said, "And the north is still martial, and any contradictions are solved with fists." Don't look at them as enemies of life and death now, when the winner is decided, no matter how big the original contradiction is, it will disappear, and there will never be a situation where grudges become mortal enemies. ”

"Is that okay?"

If you follow Ling Feixue's train of thought, the folk customs of this northern gathering place are really "simple"!

Just when Yan Hua was about to be convinced, the battle in front of him was also divided into winners and losers.

"How? Have you taken it? Even though his face was covered in blood, the big man who won still showed a smug expression, and with white teeth, he felt like a wicked person.

"Convinced! Served! Another man, lying on his back, gasped and shouted.

"Then you know what to do, right? Don't you hand over the things to Lao Tzu? "The evil voice is so bad that I almost engraved the word robber on my face.

The man who fell to the ground was obviously unwilling to take out a bloodstained piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to the tall man.

When Yan Hua saw this kind of robbery on the street, he couldn't help but want to roar when he saw the injustice, but was stopped by Ling Feixue first.

"Read on." The lips open and close silently, conveying a simple meaning.

"Humph! Wouldn't it be nice to hand it over early? If you have to fight with me, you have to get to the point of doing it. ”

The big man holding the paper looked at the contents of it, and after confirming that it was correct, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to make up for the final blow, while the man who fell to the ground looked desperate.

"Danger!"

"Pay!"

The big man shouted triumphantly, and immediately a person came out of the restaurant-like shop next to him, and said with a smile: "A total of two hundred and fifty universal coins." ”

Dahan happily took out three banknotes from his arms and handed them out, "No need to look for them." ”

"Obviously, I'll pay for it this time." The big picture was decided, and the man who fell to the ground muttered to himself with his eyes blank.

"Next time! Next time! Next time you come! ”

"Really?"

......

“......”

Yan Hua held his waist, looked at the two backs that were gradually moving away in a daze, and only held back a sentence for a long time: "Sure enough, the folk customs are simple!" ”
