Nasikai is a city without walls.

Baldur's Gate, one of the two greatest cities in Sword Bay, stands on the north bank of the Josa River, about twenty miles from the mouth of the latter's mouth into the Endless Sea. His location is exactly halfway from Amm to Waterdeep.

Nasikai, on the other hand, is located in the third of the way from Amm to Baldur's Gate.

Relying on the golden trade route of Amm-Baldur's Gate-Waterdeep-Winterfell and the abundant iron deposits in the area, Nasikai also gradually prospered. Situated in between, Nasikai is essentially part of Baldur's Gate, but many of the locals, especially the miners, come from Am, who also has a great deal of influence in the area.

In the continent of Faerun, the population is relatively thin. Although it has a level of agriculture that surpasses that of the Middle Ages, sanitation and disasters still limit the birth of cities with a population of more than 100,000 people. In a big city like Baldur's Gate, there are less than 50,000 people. Nasikai, a place that resembles an urban-rural junction, has a population of 2,000, which is enough to be called a city.

The east-west Nar River divides Nasikai into north and south.

On the north bank of the river is the most prosperous place in Nasikai, where there is the tall and magnificent temple of the helmet, as well as the mayor's official residence, the commercial area and the military camp. Soldiers patrolling day and night separated the miners on the south bank from the wealthy on the north bank. To the north of the barracks and temples, is the area of the rich. There were a number of merchants' residences, as well as the holiday villas of the nobles of Amm and Baldur's Gate. Of course, since the beginning of the mining of the iron ore in Nasikai, the influx of miners has made the place degraded, and the mansions of the nobles have almost never been seen by their owners except for one or two well-tended servants and country relatives.

The south bank, on the other hand, is where the miners gather. It's the three houses in the game, which are actually hundreds of large and small buildings crammed together! Seventy percent of Nasikai's population lives in these haphazard houses, and there are only two kinds of people here, the miners and their families.

The miners go to the mine to mine, and their families do some work such as washing clothes, baking bread, and growing some vegetables.

To the west, along the banks of the river, on the edge of the town, is home to the indigenous people, who lived here before the discovery of iron ore. The aboriginal democracy was engaged in agriculture, the sale of local small goods, guards, tax collectors, butlers of the aristocracy, compradors of churches, etc., and belonged to a group of people with relatively high status.

Lu Yuan's former home was there.

My uncle's home was originally there, but in recent years, with the rise of William, he has moved to a wealthy area. They value identity, status, and so on.

The house is now occupied by a young man from the City Guard. He just helped look at the house and borrowed it by the way. After confirming Lu Yuan's identity, he straightforwardly took the twenty gold coins given by Lu Yuan and moved away.

He settled down here.

Walking on the street every day, chatting quietly with "Nini", browsing the street scene at will, and reminiscing about the past. As the days passed, even the magic was practiced less, and I was inexplicably depressed.

As a result, at noon one day, Nini appeared sweaty with a letter from Twilight.

In the letter, Twilight recounts the events of the farewell in a brisk tone, and encourages him not to slack off at the end of his life, and to compete when they meet, and to lose...... In the clouds below.

So Lu Yuan's morale was greatly boosted. That night, I bought a few big-headed fish and made a big pot full of fish head cakes. The meal was divided into three portions, Nini had the smallest portion, followed by Lu Yuan's, and the remaining nearly half of the amount was put into the ring to feed the goddess.

The next day, I received a return gift, a big fish that was one person long!

Do you hate my small fish? Or let me make you a bigger one? Looking at his pot, Lu Yuan decisively took the fish to the market and sold it, and harvested 1.7 gold coins.

*********************************

Twilight walks the mountain road north, driving away a horde of disgusting goblins.

She listened intently, and then, as if talking to herself, as if in reply, "Finally cheer up!" Then I'm going to work on it too! ”

After speaking, she called out the holy power, and a pure white light poured into her body, and she rushed out of the body with her dual swords in hand.

Recently, Ms. Alona has frequently appeared in the church to pass on oracles, although it is not an important content, but the activity of the goddess still boosts the morale of the church, and the previous tension is swept away.

The new costume of the goddess of the forest began to become a popular topic, and it is said that many goddesses' religions began to seek new costume designs, and a new round of clothing armaments was being launched.

The Church unveiled a new armor style for the Church's armament, and awarded the first thirty powerful priests, druids, warriors, and rangers, to great effect.

In this case, Twilight, who had been asked to be stationed at the temple, was able to leave and continue to do what he wanted to do.

"Hey, I'm Nupo, this place isn't bad, huh?"

"Have we met before? Maybe it's a long-lost brother? Brother, what do you think? ”

"Ah, that guy in front is as annoying as the kobold, take your courage and cut him!"

"Someone says they hate me, will you? Wouldn't it? Will it? Alas, I'm not done yet, how did you go? ”

Lu Yuan held his forehead in his hand and walked forward at a faster pace. It's really unlucky to meet that chattering nuppo today. About this guy, there are hardly any people in the neighborhood who don't hate him. He looks like Zhou Zheng, is his IQ...... I also watched the past, the only problem is chatter! Nagging can annoy the Bodhisattva to death!

"Tom Levy lost two front teeth at Southbridge yesterday! Hahaha! It's so funny, of course, I didn't put that stone on purpose...... Tom Leevi, do you know who Lun Dao is? I'm guessing you don't know what to do. The tax collector of the Bald's Gate is still related to me in his family. What should he call me, hell, who knows what to do......"

"Do you know where you can buy good ingots?" Lu Yuan saw that he couldn't get rid of this guy, so he simply asked for directions.

"I saw him when he came to my house...... What did you just say? Nupo blinked his eyes and looked at him innocently.

"Where can I buy good ingots!"

"How much do you need to buy? Then you need to go to the barracks and ask, where you can buy large quantities of steel ingots. Of course, the permission of Mayor Geistech is essential. ”

"No, I probably only need a few dollars a month, but the quality needs to be good."

"Then go to my house."

"What?!"

"Go to my house, is it hard for me to understand my words? My father is the person in charge of iron ore smelting in the city. ”

"Then why do you have steel ingots?"

"For some reason, the best ingots can't be used to make military weapons, so they're all in my house now!"

"I don't understand, do you have to use inferior steel ingots to make weapons?"

"Ah, bureaucratic problems, batch problems...... Damn, why am I going to explain this to you?! ”

"Don't you like to talk?"

"But I don't like to be asked!! I'm starting to think you're annoying! Shut up now! Nasty bastard! Nubo blushed, roared, and turned angrily to lead the way.

Lu Yuan silently raised his head to the sky, you know, this is Wukong's victory, Bodhisattva, have you seen it?!

"Are you far from home? My house is also in that direction, just turn left, turn left and turn left, and there you are! ”

"You just said that you and I are brothers, are you an elf? Half-elf? A quarter elf? One in eight elves? Sixteen points...... Alas, you wait for me. Lu Yuan asked with great interest.

"Ah!! I can't stand it! Who's going to save me! Nubo jumped on the spot with his head in his hands and roared a few times, then turned his head and ran.

Lu Yuan lives in the southwest, and Nubo's home is in the southeast, although it is also a settlement of aborigines on this side of the river. The current mayor of Blanc Geistech is also from an indigenous background, and after taking office, he relied heavily on the support of the indigenous people, so the environment in the indigenous settlement is much better than that in the mining area.

As the person in charge of the local smelting industry, the Nubo family has a courtyard that resembles a courtyard in Beijing. Nubo led him directly to the back warehouse, and then he didn't seem to say a word, and stood on the side sulking.

Lu Yuan brushed off the dust on the ingot, picked up a few pieces and observed them carefully. These ingots are really good, they should be the first to be baked or the last part to be baked in batch metallurgy, some are soft but have excellent toughness, some are very hard but some are brittle, and the ingots already have the appearance of alloy. This steel is not suitable for weapons in bulk. The right approach is only possible if each ingot is designed separately according to its characteristics.

And the dozen pieces on the lower layer were dark and inconspicuous, and Lu Yuan felt that something was wrong when he took his hand. Wipe it carefully, and a deep and bright purple luster appears on the surface of the metal ingot, which turned out to be a black steel ingot! This thing is not from the Nasikai mines, eighty percent of it comes from Am's side.
