Chapter 71: Three Scrolls Middle Four
In the past, when Shen Yan was a civil servant, the gods were just background characters or villains in the books he read. The images of the gods in the books are usually very fixed, cold, stereotyped, powerful but idle, like a group of characters carved into a plaque. But it wasn't until he entered the swan world and really came into contact with it that he realized that God was actually a human being, a higher level of human beings.
God also has joys and sorrows, and God also has pursuits. Even if the powerful are as powerful as Io and the Lady of the City, "omniscient and omnipotent" is just the nonsense of the ignorant.
In reality, Shen Yan really didn't need to go through the Scroll of Fate to obtain the Sweet Potato Seed - the portal to the cartography room was the first window on the left side of the hall on the first floor of the temple. If you have to find the best potato seeds, then the portal exit is only 880 kilometers away from the "hometown of sweet potatoes in China...... But Shen Yan couldn't do that.
Just like the last time he left the cartography room, he brought some arrowheads and gadgets related to making arrows. That was when I felt that Io's attitude towards him turned into disgust, and when he spread his knowledge later, he received a direct warning! At that time, Shen Yan thought that Ai Ou was using the topic to play, and wanted to settle his old account of being disrespectful before. But later, when Shen Yan began to do research himself, he found out that all this had nothing to do with anything else, just a qualified experimenter's hatred for the troublemaker.
Imagine the anger of being given a little alcohol to the reagent you extracted overnight when you were doing a chemistry experiment in college!
The "cartography room world" is like a large laboratory that Io has spent countless years building and promoting, and he may be studying the evolution of social systems, the mystery of human nature, or even "on the meaning of an isolated and magicless world for the existence of the multiverse...... At this time, Shen Yan had no problem leaving by himself, and it was no problem for him to go back. He alone has nothing to do with the big picture, just like a drop of water can't affect the entire ocean.
But when he came out and went in, he carried random things, which also carried the knowledge and manufacturing process of the earth with them...... Then Io can't bear it! Because the influence of human beings is limited, the influence of knowledge is unlimited, and it may even trigger profound changes in other worlds! If he sent the magic and alchemy back to the drawing room, it would be tantamount to flipping the table!
In Io's eyes, his behavior is a contaminated sample!
Of course, as an observation of the diversity of the world, Io did not completely lock down the knowledge of the cartography room, as someone did. He also left a lot of "legal channels" for the controlled spread of these things—the interstellar trade network was one of them—in line with the principle of equivalent exchange, which was completely different from Shen Yan's predatory entry and exit.
Besides, no one could be sure if Shen Yan was trading with the cartography room world, or if it was another similar world...... It's a secret how much of the world Io is secretly pushing for.
Anyway, Shen Yan ran several worlds, and on the surface, it seemed that the worlds were very different from each other, but the inconspicuous gravitational constant turned out to be the same...... It seems to say a lot.

The sweet potato seeds were directly handed over to Michelle, and Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "...... After it is cultivated, it is only promoted by the lizardmen, including corn, and in the future, the elves will grow rice and wheat, and the dwarves will still mainly grow mushrooms. ”
It's also about balance, and the good stuff can't all be put on the elves' side.
Besides, the lizardman race talent is not necessarily worse than that of the elves, and the lizardman has a layer of natural scale armor, and putting on a pair of armor is equivalent to a double layer. Coupled with the lizard's color-changing camouflage, strong patience, fast running, physical strength and even infrared vision, etc., a natural reconnaissance type heavy infantry (is there such a class?) ), at least a mountain infantryman.
Isn't it a perfect match for mountain masters and dried sweet potatoes with plenty of calories!
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Michelle remembered something, "Recently, some people on the elf's side have been making trouble, you'd better go and take a look...... Penny doesn't want to trouble you with these trivia, but she does seem to be struggling. ”
"Trouble? It's only been a few years, and you've had enough to eat? Shen Yan's face suddenly became gloomy.
Michelle sighed inwardly, she knew that Shen Yan's reaction would be like this—all official members of the Templar would be informed in advance of an example, which was handled by the founder of the Templar Orphanage himself—and the applicant would be told that if he couldn't accept such a thing, it would be best to leave directly.
The example was this: An orphan who had been adopted by an orphanage stole the orphanage's money and fled, and the Templar simply wrote down his name and characteristics without doing anything to track him down, as if it had never happened. However, when the orphan squandered his money and wanted to change his face and sneak into the orphanage again, he was arrested and all the orphanages refused to accept it. His story also spread, and people of good heart refused to give him alms, and soon the orphan died on the street not far from the orphanage.
This incident sparked a split in the Templar organization at the time, and many people who insisted on "supreme goodness" left one after another, but the founder, that is, Shen Yan, insisted on his decision. It even sums up the matter in one sentence that demands the uncompromising execution of the "Templar" organization - "Remember, a helping hand is only extended once!" ”
And to everyone's surprise, the first to agree with this concept was actually the veteran paladin Atwood, who said, "Good with boundaries can help most people, and goodness without boundaries can only satisfy itself." Therefore, he resolutely stood on Shen Yan's side, and this concept was also thoroughly implemented in the Holy Church.
Michelle guessed that something like this might happen again.

"Open the cage and refuse captivity! We are not beasts to be watched! ”
"We ask to go back to our hometown!"
"In addition to eating and drinking, there are also poems and distances."
……
Seven or eight towns in the area where the city elves live, including Wisteria Town and Kingbee Town, broke out in protests at the same time. The most serious thing is that even the royal city of Emerald City has shown such signs, with dozens of city elves gathering in front of the unfinished royal palace to protest, a move that has caused thousands of elves to watch and block the city.
Leaving aside whether there was a plot behind it, the cause of the incident is not complicated.
As the saying goes, after the city elves are full of food and clothing, and after their lives are stable, some people will inevitably start to think about other things. If it's a hobby like painting, music, or drama, there's plenty of room for it in the Kunpeng world. At the beginning of the town planning, there were areas such as theaters, open-air squares, and circular performance venues, which were enough to meet the needs of these people; It's okay to travel, but as the world expands, there are more places that can't be explored.
It's really not possible to open up the underground world, and the map will be doubled in an instant! This DLC is simply conscience!
However, these are not what those who want at all, they look at the harvest in front of them and think about it, they know how big the gap between the two is—and then naturally they have the mind of plane trade!
But plane trade, that is the source of Shen Yan's profits! Determined by the special resources he can provide (plane portals), which he can give to others? Penny knew this very well, so she resolutely refused! And then there was this play that everyone saw.
"I always feel like something is going to be wrong!" Benjamin said worriedly as he watched the growing procession.
As the deputy mayor of Wisteria Town, his prestige exceeds that of the mayor, and the right to transfer the town guard is also in his hands. However, due to his hesitation a few days ago, the demonstration in Wisteria Town became the largest in the entire Emerald City area.
"This won't work! Out of control! Benjamin felt more and more uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth fiercely, grabbed the guards beside him and ordered directly, "Pass my order!" Let the guards enter the town and impose martial law directly! Any demonstrations are directly arrested without permission......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, in the center of the town, where the demonstrators were located, the holographic screen that had been closed for a long time suddenly lit up! Shen Yan, the archon who had been absent for many months, reappeared in front of everyone!
Seeing Shen Yan appear, Benjamin shuddered violently, and the fear in his heart finally turned into reality! He shoved the guard violently, "What are you doing in a daze?" Go and carry out the order! He felt that when he said this, the archon on the screen looked at him with a smile, making him break out in a cold sweat!
Oh no, it seems that the hunch is real......
