Where the state has strong dominance, the public security environment is naturally good, and the so-called dominance is the strength of the state's violent organs. Therefore, in general, large cities are safer than remote mountain towns. For example, in the town of Yamaguchi at the end of the Karelian Mountains, there are still Spondland spies, and Driss is active as an underworld smuggler active between the Hero Kingdom and Karelian.

The reason why the border is a lawless land is precisely because the dominance cannot cover it, and the land area of a country is the natural maximum limit of that country. In terms of distance, Karelian is a neighbor of the Hero Country, but the closest end of the border between the two countries is more than 200 kilometers. Unlike on the earth, the border between the two countries on the earth is an overlapping line, but here it is two lines, so there is no border at all, no one has ever had a king or emperor to measure his own land, only a general concept of the scope of rule exists.

Before, Yu Youzi was curious about the fact that the Karelian Kingdom did not care about its own land, and paid more attention to the people and cities. Now I slowly understand the root cause - the land is too vast, where is the limit of the power of his kingdom, the land area is there, like the hero clan, they have opened up and conquered sixty-eight counties, and they have no strength to go further. The Karelian side expanded from a canonized one-city state to the current three-county state......

Every country is like an isolated island in the ocean, separated by a land as vast as the ocean, and the continent of Aaron Barama cannot be understood in terms of the continent of the earth, which is a continent the size of the entire earth's land area...... If the other continents were also of this size, this strange universe that was not a planetary system would really have a vast space...... Yu Youzi sighed in his heart.

Continue to look at the map wall, there are few two countries that are connected, and the process of history over the past 10,000 years is close to each other, if they are annexed to form a country, such as the Hero Country and now the Karelian, or they are united to become a new country, such as the United Kingdom of Thea, the homeland of Panshi.

Yu Youzi looked at the map of the continent of Aaron Barama, feeling like he was looking at an abstract painting, painting a large piece of gold in the middle of the blank canvas of the continent, and then holding a brush to throw small spots of various colors around, counting a total of thirty-three small spots, among which the Karelian Kingdom can be regarded as the fifth largest.

"What are you looking at, is the map so interesting?" said Tahi as she walked over to Yu Youzi.

"yes, there's a lot to learn from the map...... At least I know the distance between Karelian and other countries, I used to think that airships passing only once or twice a day were rare, but now I look at the distance and know that that the density is frequent. Yu Youzi recalled the experience of seeing an airship in the Sandao Forest of Muli Mucheng and parachuting from the airship.

Tahijin pointed to the top of her head: "We have airships passing by all the time above our heads." ”

Now the location of the two of them is in the Taran district, where one of the three airports in the old capital of Jinli is located, where the use of animal power is allowed to be transported, and the air is filled with the smell of cordata animal dung, and people try not to walk in the middle of the road, but walk on both sides, so as to avoid stepping on the filth left by the endless stream of various camel beasts.

In fact, there are fecal nets hanging behind the buttocks of camel beasts, but no matter what, it is inevitable that there will be leakage and seepage, and the number is huge, and the roads will inevitably be filthy. Although animal vehicles are also allowed to enter the city, there are not as many as here, and the roads can be cleaned. There is another reason, I am afraid that it is because the animal vehicles that entered Mulimu City are scattered throughout the city, and the old capital of Jinli is all concentrated in a few areas here.

Yu Youzi followed Tahijin's fingers and looked overhead, and the beams were covered with all kinds of tapestries and cloths, spreading out like ceiling decorations. Then my eyes couldn't help but fall to the outside of the shop, and the beasts came and went, only the appearance of horses and cows had been seen, and there were three other kinds of camel beasts, one of which was a heavy animal with thick skin like a dinosaur, a huge pheasant-like bird that could smell the smell of feathers when it walked far on its legs, and the last one was a huge multi-legged exoskeleton insect, like a giant centipede, which made people's hairs stand on end, but here people not only handled it calmly, but also sat directly on its back, and piled up the goods and bags on its back to fix it。

The most disgusting thing about this giant centipede is that it seems to feed on the feces of other camels, and it crawls very happily in the middle of the road, and it is clean and slippery where it is said. Countless steps were paddling wildly, seemingly extremely fast, but in fact the movement speed was the slowest of all the camel beasts.

So many steps dangled in front of him, causing Yu Youzi to get goosebumps, and he quickly looked away.

Seeing Yu Youzi's appearance, Tahi Yuan looked back and said apologetically: "I didn't know that the environment here was like this, but I was recommended by the students in the same class a few days ago that the things here are cheap and good, so I came here...... The taste here is much heavier than that in Kasuda City......"

It seems that the girl with the ponytail is also accustomed to the multi-legged centipede camel beast, and she thinks that Yu Youzi can't stand the smell and dirty roads here. She is now dressed in short-sleeved trousers, and the color is mainly beautiful pale yellow, which is very energetic. Such a sporty outfit is for easy handling during large purchases.

It's just that having said that, although it's only a slight cleanliness habit, Yu Youzi really can't stand the environment here.

After deciding to live in the low Duluo building recommended by Sanfret that day, a cycle had passed, and the two were busy with their own affairs, Yu Youzi was teaching three language classes and still writing for newspapers and magazines, and Tahi was looking for a job in the adventurer course in a familiar environment...... Until now, there has been no time to buy items for daily life.

The passage of time has also made the feeling of the sunny season stronger and stronger, and it is time to sleep uncomfortably without a refrigerator. The smell of the sunny season in this urban area is particularly strong, and the steamed people and animals exude all kinds of smells, and there is no one in the shops that look hot to sell tapestries. Yu Youzi was also attracted by the patchwork map tapestry hanging on the front wall at the door, and he walked up.

took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and the shopkeeper who was sitting next to a bucket shook a big round fan in one hand, scooped up a spoonful of water from the bucket with a big wooden spoon in the other hand and handed it to Yu Youzi, saying, "Little master, take a sip to cool off." ”

Yu Youzi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, and he didn't dare to take a deep breath here, so he could only take two breaths: "I forgot to tell you, I'm actually a little clean, and this environment is really unbearable." ”

"I don't dare to buy mattresses or quilts here...... Let's see if there are any small items to buy. Tahi said and went to the shop.

Yu Youzi said goodbye to the shopkeeper and walked into the crowd with Ta Xiyuan: "I've always wanted a map. ”

"What's the use of that kind of inaccurate random map......

The streets are very congested, pedestrians are slow, and the streets are only big enough for two horse-drawn carriages, and they just fill the road one by one, and it takes a lot of effort to get past the shops on the opposite side. The two walked slowly along the slow crowd, talking and looking left and right.

"At least let me know where I am...... It would be nice to have maps of other continents. ”

"Ah, I forgot that you're from another world. Tahiya patted her smooth forehead in annoyance. It's nothing to say in such a busy and crowded environment, because no one will pay attention, "I'll help you pay attention." ”

"So what do you want to buy?"

"Wooden utensils for eating and drinking, preferably ceramic...... Originally, I said that I would buy some toiletries such as towels and soap. ”

There are two types of toothbrushes for this matter, one is the delicate young shoots of a tree, and after peeling off the green skin on the outside, wipe the teeth with the exposed inside. The other is to insert a small bundle of plant fibers and animal hair into a thin bamboo tube, a bit like the brush used in ancient China on the earth, the plant fiber is hard, and the animal hair is soft, so use this tool to brush your teeth. Branches, fibers, fur are varied, the price is also different, the branch is the cheapest, is a small pa, a handful, the most expensive is a kind of animal hair toothbrush is said to be some kind of fierce bristles, used as a toothbrush soft and hard, a large papa.

Speaking of murderous creatures, it is also a limiter of the dominance of this world. In fact, at first, it was only thought that it was a special case of the roads around the three forests of Karelian, but Yu Youzi then traveled to various regions, and even went to the Hickland side, and saw that there were watchtowers next to the roads, which was the facility to protect the land and ensure the dominance - protecting the people from the attacks of evil objects is the most basic function of a country.

Therefore, outside the national border, it can be regarded as a sea of fierce objects, and the settlement areas developed by human beings over the past 10,000 years can be basically guaranteed to be free from attacks by fierce objects. Of course, there will also be murderous objects running into the land from time to time, so there are still city walls, and watchtowers are set up on the avenues, especially the border roads. Even if a border defense project such as the Great Wall is erected, there will still be a constant influx of evil objects into the country without anyone patrolling it.

The word "murderous thing" is a paraphrase of the Parsi language, and has been applied by Yu Youzi to the translation of all other languages, and is a creature born in the unique ecosystem of this world. The herbivorous and docile fat lizard-like dinosaurs were domesticated into camel beasts, as were large animals, birds, and giant insects, and the number of ferocious carnivores was no less than that of humans was still roaming in the wilderness, they were collectively called ferocious creatures, and were collectively referred to as "ferocious and cruel animals".

It is precisely because of the existence of murderous creatures that among thousands of human beings of various types and nationalities, there is only one species like "Wagu Nagu" who likes to travel far away, and Kazama has become the only way for human beings to contact various places and spread goods, culture, and legends for more than 10,000 years in their infancy.

Moreover, the invention of the Wind-Folk cement has been evaluated as a decisive historical event by all social science and history books, which makes it easy to build strong houses and quickly build city walls, which greatly guarantees the safety of places that are not suitable for defense, and can also be safely lived in by building cement fortifications, so that human beings can expand the settlement bigger and farther, and it is the beginning of an era of conquest...... Yu Youzi's evaluation of this is: After losing the external enemy, human beings will fight inwardly, no matter what world it is.

Cement has also made road construction easy and fast, especially the construction of train tracks, which is a new technology that has been developed in recent times

"Would you like to buy this?" Tahi picked up an object from a stall on the side of the street and held it up to Yu Youzi.

"Hmm, what's the purpose?" Yu Youzi didn't know anything about this object that was tangled in multiple pieces of wood.

"Like this. Tahiya rubbed the piece of wood with her forefinger and flicked it open, and then she inserted the open tangled piece of wood into her hair, and with the help of her left hand, she pushed the piece back and clamped it on. At this point, Yu Youzi saw that it was a hairpin, and half of the tangled wooden flakes were hidden under the girl's chestnut hair, and now it looked like a leaf carved from wood.

"This young lady, this is only three small pa. The stall owner said loudly.

"Count me as a gift to you. Yu Youzi handed the stall owner a large papa.

Tahi smiled slightly, tilting her head to show off her new hair accessories: "When I get a job, I will buy you a gift." ”

"Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful, if you buy three, you will only be counted as six papa. The old woman of the stall owner knocked on the iron corner of her stall and said in the same way as she praised Tahidi.

Tahi Hi blushed and waved her hand again and again to clarify the relationship between the two. It looks surprisingly innocent.

Yu Youzi interjected: "Choose two more." ”

"Your substitute salary is really a lot, then you're welcome......" Tahi hesitated for a moment, sighed, and began to pick and choose among the hairpin boxes on the stall. The angle of entanglement of the thin pieces of wood, coupled with the fact that the shape itself is not the same, and therefore not all in the shape of narrow leaves, are varied, and Tahidi picked it for a while before it ended.

During this period, the old woman counted out forty-two handkerchiefs and handed them to Yu Youzi as change.

Yu Youzi noticed that it was not almost, but all the shops were somewhere, and a place was wrapped in iron sheets, with the head of the cane, and some of the corners of the counter table, in short, in some conspicuous places. According to the experience and the old woman's action of knocking on the coin, Yu Youzi had vaguely guessed in his heart that it worked. But in the end, I asked Tahi and was told that this is a local way to test the authenticity of coins, and the hardness and impact sound of real coins are obviously different. I recalled the experience of shopping in the Muli Mucheng market, and at that time, the bosses used to check the money by biting it with their teeth......

This kind of daily life knowledge does not appear in books, it is knowledge that can only be increased by walking, reading and asking questions. After that, the two of them only hurriedly walked the way at the beginning of the market and left. Needless to say, the reason is that I really can't stand the smell of the environment here.
