The circle of houses closest to the central fortress was the tallest and most neat in the village, and among these houses were the most basic shops, such as the artisan's shop for repairing weapons and armor, the general store for some necessities, and of course the taverns for the citizens of the city-state and the village guards.

Bai Qi walked into the tavern, because it was morning, there were not many people here, a few people who should be like guards were sitting in the corner drinking wine and chatting, a few neatly dressed and good-looking female slaves were busy in the shop, and a fat middle-aged man was busy behind the counter.

Bai Qi walked straight to the counter, knocked on the table, and said in the language of this world, "Bring me a drink." ”

The first time I used this language, although with the help of the system, he spoke it fluently, but I always felt very awkward.

The middle-aged man glanced up at him and said, "Isn't this Lucas?" How did you get to the village of Turin? ”

Lucas is the identity that the system arranged for Bai Qi, and because of his height, the system arranged a background for him that made him cry and laugh.

Lucas was weak and looked down upon since he was a child, but he was a strong-willed person, with a firm will and a spirit of not fearing death, in the hard training and desperate battle, he made a breakthrough, stimulated the power of qi and blood, and became a Chosen Warrior, but because he was born insufficient, even if he stimulated the power of qi and blood, he was also the bottom of the Chosen Warriors, which made him ridiculed and excluded among the Chosen Warriors, and the other Chosen Warriors thought that he must have deceived the gods in some way, only to obtain the divine power that should not belong to him.

Bai Qi's heart moved, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Anyway, there is no future for staying here, even if I want to be an ordinary guard, no one wants me, I plan to leave here." ”

He was sending a message to the outside world about Lucas's justification for leaving the city-state.

The middle-aged man limped Bai Qi to a glass of turbid wine, pushed it in front of him, and asked, "Leave Yasuo?" Where to? ”

"Yasuo!" Bai Qi quickly searched for the information related to this world that Adrian gave him in his memory, and replied: "I want to go to the city of dwarves, maybe people where people won't laugh at my height." ”

"Hahaha! ......" The middle-aged man seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed backwards.

The City of Dwarves is a famous city-state located in the northernmost part of the human-controlled territory, at the foot of the Arare Mountains, this city-state is jointly controlled by humans and dwarves, and is a trade window between humans and the dwarven kingdoms in the Arare Mountains.

The middle-aged man's laughter attracted the attention of several guards who were drinking not far away, but they only glanced this way twice, then turned around, and Bai Qi saw awe in the eyes of these guards.

Bai Qi was not surprised, although these guards looked very strong, they were just ordinary soldiers, although this middle-aged man looked fat and stupid, and he was a cripple, but Bai Qi felt the surging power of qi and blood in him, this person was obviously a god-chosen soldier who retired due to injury.

In this world of early human civilization, people believed that the power of qi and blood and magic were the power of the gods, so they called the warriors who inspired the power of qi and blood the Chosen Warriors, and the Chosen Warriors had a high status in the city-state and were considered the natural leaders of all warriors.

Looking at the breathless middle-aged man smiling in front of him, Bai Qi shook his head, picked up the ale wine and tried to taste it, he found that this cloudy wine, with the sweetness of rice wine and the faint fruity sourness of fruit wine, was actually very delicious.

It wasn't until Bai Qi drank less than half of the wine in the wine glass that the middle-aged man stopped laughing while wiping his tears, he pointed at Bai Qi and said: "Lucas, why didn't I find out that you had the potential to be a clown before, go to the city of dwarves, haha, although dwarves are short, but their arms are thicker than your thighs, their chests are as strong as rocks, even the weakest dwarves are stronger than us humans, you are going to pretend to be a dwarf, hahaha, Lucas, you are so creative." ”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't want to pretend to be a dwarf, I just don't want to be discriminated against, I think the humans in the dwarven city shouldn't discriminate against my height, I might be able to find an errand there." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Even if you want to go to the city of dwarves, you should go north, what are you doing in Turin Village in the east?" ”

Bai Qi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Really? I thought the city of the dwarves was in the east. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Oh my God, Lucas, how can you let me say hello, well, for our chosen warrior Lucas will not die because he gets lost in the wilderness, let me tell you how to get to the city of dwarves." ”

"You should go back to the city of Yasuo, go out of the city through the north gate, pass through three villages, and leave the range of our Yasuo, and enter the forest, where there is a big road, and you will follow the road north for three days, and you will reach a city-state called Sumea, where you can continue to the north by boat, enter the Suro River, and then go down the river to a city-state called Horn, where you go ashore and continue north along the main road, and you will reach the city of the dwarves in about five days."

Bai Qi was overjoyed, and through the middle-aged man's speech, combined with the information provided by Adrian in his memory, he quickly figured out where he was and how to meet Adrian.

The meeting place they agreed to meet was not the city of the Dwarves, of course, but a city-state named Leoni.

The Soluo River that the middle-aged man just mentioned is the largest river in the world's human territory, and it can be said to be the mother river of mankind, and most of the human city-states are distributed within 300 kilometers on both sides of this river.

The Sara River runs gently from west to east until it reaches the confluence of the Arare and limestone mountains.

The Arare Mountains and the Limestone Mountains, one in an east-west direction and the other in a north-south direction, form a figure-of-eight shape that embraces the human living area and protects humans from the barbaric orc tribes in the north and the powerful troll tribes in the east.

At the confluence of the Arare Mountains and the Limestone Mountains, at the top of the Eight Characters, there is a canyon 100 miles wide, connecting the orc steppes in the north and the dark forests of the trolls' hometown in the southeast.

The Sora River passes through this gorge and flows slowly to the far east.

The Mother River of Humanity struck the most fertile plain in human territory in the triangle where two mountain ranges meet, and the city-state of Leoni sits on this fertile plain.

While the Leonis built their city here, they enjoyed the fertile land and were threatened by powerful orc and troll tribes from across the valley of the Sara.

The key reason why Adrian chose the city of Leoni as the meeting point was that it was located in the lowest reaches of the Sara River, and no matter where they descended, they only had to walk to the side of the Sara River and go down the river to get there.

Bai Qi was in Yasuo City at this time, and it was one of the few city-states that was far away from Suoluo and there was no direct waterway to the Suo Luo River.

Figuring out his position and the route of the rendezvous, Bai Qi certainly didn't have the heart to stay here any longer, he drank the wine in two sips, took a short knife from his waist and handed it to the middle-aged man.

After deciding to enter the world of the Star of Enlightenment, Adrian told Bai Qi that in this relatively primitive civilization space, weapons are a more popular hard currency than currency, and asked him to prepare a few white weapons in case of emergency, Bai Qi easily stuffed a few white weapons he had built into the storage space, and this short knife was one of them.

The middle-aged man took the short knife, took out the scabbard, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "This is really a good knife, but it's a pity that it's forged from evil gold, and I can't accept the blessing of the priest." ”

The world has already discovered the existence of iron, and the technology of iron smelting has been relatively mature, but high-level warriors with a little status will use bronze weapons, and only low-level and poor warriors will use iron weapons.

The reason is very simple, iron's rejection of spells is far stronger than bronze, bronze only needs to add some special rare metals, and it can be enchanted by sacrifices in a rudimentary way, but weapons made of steel, with the backward technology of this world, there is no way to do this, so the natives of this world call iron evil gold.

The middle-aged man threw the short knife back to Bai Qi and said, "Forget it, even if I invite you for this glass of wine, I hope you can find your place in the city of dwarves," and after that, his feelings suddenly became a little low.

Bai Qi withdrew his dagger and thanked him before leaving the tavern, and instead of changing direction, he walked through the village and continued on his way.

Bai Qi walked forward about two kilometers further, and a village with a larger area, stronger walls, and more guards appeared in front of him.

Bai Qi did not stop in this village, but walked directly through the city and continued to move east.

After another two kilometers, a larger village appeared in front of him.

The crops outside this village are not as good as in the next two villages, and the fields are full of signs of destruction.

Bai Qi understood that the farther away from the city, the weaker the human control ability became, the more dangers the village faced, and naturally the stronger the defense force was needed.

Judging by the destruction of the fields outside the village, the village is supposed to be the outermost settlement of the city-state.

Bai Qi walked into the village, and in front of the central fortress of the village gathered a large group of strong-bodied natives wearing leather armor and holding long contradictory cards.

He walked over with some curiosity, and before he could figure out what was going on, an indigenous warrior pointed at him and said, "Is this dwarf going to kill the gnolls too?" His companions laughed.

Such an insult made Bai Qi feel depressed, and at the same time, it also made him understand why these indigenous warriors gathered here.

If there was no threat from the tiger, Bai Qi would definitely be very happy, because such a situation meant that a task was already in front of him, but now Bai Qi was in a hurry to get rid of the threat of the tiger, and of course he had no interest in any jackals.
