Chapter 147: True Value

The entire Thor Legion set off, and the first to come to the vicinity of Iron Rock City were only Dunan and the others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 According to the old man of the snow mouse, the human army needs a little formality before entering the city, and directly breaking into the city is equivalent to opening the 'siege' mode. This procedure is very simple, and it means that you are not besieging the city. Due to the rampant herd of beasts in the Land of Death, they often attack small towns and cities. Especially in the 'food-rich' city, there are herds of beasts attacking every few days. In order to prevent some people from deliberately leading the herd to invade, it is necessary to check before entering the city.

On the other hand.

Cities are a hundred times more secure than towns, and the vast majority of people like to flock to live in cities. The more people there are in the city, the more greedy beasts like to attack, and in this way, an unsolvable cycle is formed. Because humans and beasts can't communicate at all, they must block all possible invasions of beasts.

He wasn't surprised to hear this, too.

Along the way, the Thor Legion encountered more than a dozen waves of beasts, and Dunant also realized that the biological chain of the 'Immortal Land' was out of order.

Humans here reproduce fast and beasts faster.

"Stop coming, stop the horse." At the city's outpost Iron Fort, a group of forty horsemen galloped out and shouted at Dunant and his party.

And they took the reins.

The old man explained softly, "Chief, every city has this kind of outpost. One is to monitor whether there are any animal herds in the vicinity, and the other is to check the pedestrian passes. We just need to ......"

Don't wait for the old man to finish.

The captain of the guard waved his hand and shouted, "Who are you?" What group? What's the matter with coming to Iron Rock City? ”

The old man of the snow mouse replied calmly: "We are from the Thor Legion, and we have come to Iron Rock City to trade goods. ”

The captain of the sentry guard was slightly stunned, and then shouted: "What Thor Legion, we have never heard of it." Do you want to go into town? OK. Take off your armor and leave your horse, and this woman as well. When you are out of the city, we will return her to you. ”

Hearing this, Dunan was surprised, but the old man snow mouse and Sister Hong and his party laughed, and laughed very strangely.

Dunant wondered: "Is there such a rule when entering the city?" ”

The old man of the snow mouse smiled: "No, Iron Rock City...... No, all the cities do not belong to any legion, nor to any individual. The city is absolutely free to use, and anyone can come and go freely. Even the legions that built walls and tall buildings only had the right to use the construction site. The construction of the city wall can only engrave the name of the legion as a kind of advertisement, and only the tall buildings built by the legion can be retained for themselves. Solo and small teams can pass with a single greeting, while clans need to register their names and numbers. As long as you have checked the back of the legion and there are no beasts trailing behind, you can basically enter the city directly. ”

Dunant was even more strange: "Then these people ......"

The old man of the snow mouse quickly replied: "It's just a bunch of bluffing little crumbs." When they saw that our horses had no vests, they thought we were all new and wanted to bluff and get some advantage. Chief, there are only conventional rules in the Land of Final Happiness, and there is no such fool reaching out to the party. ”

The faces of the guards changed, but they didn't dare to continue shouting.

"You ...... ...... the hell you" The captain of the guard couldn't help but feel a little cold when he heard these words.

This time it was his turn to finish speaking, and the old man snow mouse directly interrupted: ", give him a lesson, so that outsiders don't think that our Thor Legion is easy to bully." ”

Didn't wait for everyone's reaction.

The looked back and gestured that a tiger-headed orc had swung his broadsword and slashed the captain of the sentry in two.

Blood was flying, and the sentinels didn't dare to move.

"I repeat, send someone in return. Our name is Thor's Legion, and this is our leader, His Excellency Dunant. The number of soldiers in our army is 30,000, all riding and all beasts. This time I came to Iron Rock City to trade goods, mainly to order riding armor and buy fine wine and women. You don't need to send someone to check if there are any beasts behind us, we killed sixteen waves of beasts along the way. The old man of the snow mouse spoke, and one of the deputy captains quickly took the record, for fear of missing a word.

The rest of the group supported the captain and waited for him to slowly recover.

In the face of a large army of 30,000 people, he must have suffered the pain of this sword in vain. The largest legion in the entire Iron Rock City is only about 5,000 people, and who can afford this kind of 'Big Mac' of 30,000 people.

I heard that 30,000 people were all riding and beasts, and there was a shortage of wine and women...... I don't want to use it too much, as soon as the news spreads, those businessmen will go crazy.

"Please, please." The vice-captain bowed in pleading.

He was very convinced that with 30,000 horses galloping, there would be absolutely no beasts in the vicinity who would dare to come and seek death.

The snow rat gestured again: "Chief, the procedure for entering the city is as simple as that. Explain the number of people in the legion and the purpose of the purpose, so that the merchants in the city can prepare the corresponding goods. We have a lot of people, and they need to prepare a lot of housing. All riding and all beasts, they are to prepare for the placement of riding beasts and hunting beasts. Weapons merchants, armorsmiths, wine merchants, and a few idle women would come to see if there was any chance of a deal. ”

Between words.

Hawkbeak had signaled for a scout to go back and report that the Thor Legion, which was following from afar, would follow into the city.

Dunan walked with everyone to the city gate, and asked strangely: "Xue Lao, we have more than 30,000 people, can Tieyan City entertain them so easily?" ”

The old man smiled, "Of course, chief. Not to mention 30,000 people, 300,000 people are not difficult. Do you know how many high-rise buildings, how many idle workers, how many businesses there are in the city? Although the energy constraints of the Land of Final Bliss have reduced high-tech products such as mechanical brains, everyone still understands this knowledge. It's like a modern city, except that there's no starship or a nuclear furnace. ”

Previously.

Dunant had seen a lot of fire sucking up energy, and he could imagine in his heart that a high-tech product like a melting pot would definitely not be able to make it. However, the knowledge in everyone's head is still there, and some things that are convenient for life are not difficult to transform and use. For example, there are no requirements for high-rise buildings, and in such a place where manpower and time are unlimited, it is not difficult to build high-rise buildings at all.

"Chief, don't think too much, just enter the city and take a look." The old man laughed.

"Hmm." Dunant nodded.

Soon, the group rode wild horses through the high walls of the city.

Surprising.

Outside the walls and inside the walls are two different worlds, except for a very high, very thick, very hard copper wall, the city is a completely modern city. The only difference is that most of the roads are driven by beasts and beast bikes, and there are very few cars. Dunant also guessed that horses were more convenient, and unlike cars that ate 'oil' and 'electricity', they could be fed anytime and anywhere in the wilderness.

The oil and electricity needed by the car can still be found in the city, and going out of the city is equivalent to scrap metal.

There are many high-rise buildings in the city, and the greenery is also very good.

It is worth noting that the entire city has a protective layer of steel plates on the ground, as if to prevent anything from coming out of the ground. Of course, there are many sewers and underground walkways, but they are all tightly isolated by steel plates. At most, large rats and the like have drilled through, and there are no bigger insects and beasts to pass through.

There were a lot of people in the city, very much.

How to say it.

Except for a few idle gardens, most of the places are crowded with people, just like the train station at its busiest time.

"You can make cars, but you can't make swords?" Dunant couldn't figure it out.

Modern technology, what's wrong with mass-producing swords?

Could it be ......

"It's the poor material, Chief." Old Man Snow Rat knew that Dunant would be surprised by this question, and explained, "Those cars are just toys, and the bigger beasts fall apart when they are shot." Here we could not make a high-temperature steelmaking furnace, so the quality of the steel was very low, even inferior to the shell of a scorpion shell. The warriors and gods possessed weapons, and at worst, they were made of hard steel beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The power of God is not comparable to technology. ”

"That's right." Dunant thought of his artifact sword.

Although its energy was absorbed and turned into an ordinary weapon. But...... Its hardness and sharpness are at least several times greater than that of normal steel swords.

An artifact that has lost its energy is still much better than a normal knife weapon.

Suddenly.

Dunant began to realize...... I also think from the perspective of God. Even if the power is locked, he still sees things in the position of a craftsman. That's why I feel like a lot of things don't make sense now.

As a matter of fact.

Except for himself, others do not have the power and resources of the craftsman.

For them, when the power is locked up to this extent...... That's all there is to it.

Why do ordinary people like to use swords as 'money'? It's not because swords are suitable for fighting, but because the weapons of god-level martial artists have materials that ordinary people can't imagine, and even fragments are more precious than useless gold.

In the Small Chaos region, the Sand Island's Divine Crystal Sand Grains are 'money'...... Because mortals can't shatter any of the Divine Crystals around them.

In the Land of Ultimate Happiness, the sword is 'money'...... Because the average person will never be able to make a metal tool made of this material.

At this time.

A group of people on the side of the road caught Dunant's attention, and a merchant who bought and sold weapons was raising his sword and slashing at the five long knives lined up in front of him.

One sword fell, and five swords were broken together.

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, and there were more soldiers intent on buying and selling.

Go without saying.

The five long knives lined up were all made by ordinary people, and only that long sword was a product of the gods.

"The value of the sword lies in its sharpness and hardness, and the man just used the most direct method. Use a weapon to shake it, or cut off a small iron rod, and you can know the value of the weapon as long as you try it. Chief, this is the 'money' of the Land of Bliss, the money that everyone recognizes. In addition to being used as a weapon, some tools also require this material, steel. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many of these weapons, it would not have been possible to replace them with a single riding beast. Why do they make people die, now the leader understands, right? "The old man of the snow mouse was also a god-level martial artist, and his definition of this kind of 'money' is the most reasonable.

"As a different tool?" Dunant heard something special.

"Yes. For example, the stick is used for some kind of pillar, and it is made of better material than ordinary casting. Another example is the square shield, which can also be used for some kind of cabinet protection, or even converted into a safe. As long as the materials are good enough, there will naturally be more things that can be made. The old man explained.

"There are some homemade swords that can't cut through the carapace of a beast at all." A soft word from the has indicated a lot of things.

On the continent of final happiness.

In strength.

God and man are indeed on the same level. But who Tamar really believes that man is the same as God. Insight, resources, and skills between the two...... There are many, many things that can't be compared. In addition to the life that also does not die, even in terms of strength, the Martial God with the incarnation of the battle body is countless times stronger than ordinary people.

For example, Dunant himself...... How many people can challenge a dragon with a sword?

The place of the end has not changed.

People who think it's completely 'fair' are not in their right minds. Dunant knew that any kind of existence was justified, and that there was a reasonable explanation for the peculiarity of the Land of the End. Something you can't figure out? That's because I haven't found the right way yet. (To be continued.) )
