053 Magical Middle Ages
During this time, Roy also took the time to initially establish a personal attribute evaluation system. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the spiritual attribute measures the individual's ability to feel, understand, and use energy, and now on the entire earth, he is the only one who can do magic, so there is no way to evaluate it, only to leave a question mark.
E is a general evaluation. D is an excellent rating. C is a superior evaluation. B is a genius evaluation. And above B, I am afraid that it belongs to the realm that can only be attained by transcendents or even gods.
In the past, except for his brain, Luo Yi's other physical attributes were mediocre, just the level of ordinary people. And after the constant Tamson Enhancement Technique, all the attributes have risen to an evaluation level.
Therefore, he also has a more detailed understanding of the effects of attribute enhancement spells such as Ox Brute Force and Bear Endurance included in Tamson Than's enhancement technique.
In addition, with the individual level of human beings on the earth, it is the limit for attributes to reach B evaluation, and only when Roy comes into contact with individuals with higher-level abilities can he continue to improve this rating system in the future.
After checking his condition one last time, Roy waited quietly for the crossing mission to begin.
"The space-time coordinates began to be positioned. Access to basic information about the world......"
"Creating the right identity ...... for you"
"The countdown begins."
"Ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
"Seven."
…………
During the second time travel mission, Roy has become accustomed to the brief state of unconsciousness brought about by time travel, and the slight dizziness after waking up. He shook his head, sat up from the musty, sweat-smelling wooden bed, and began to survey his surroundings.
It's a humble wooden house. Aside from the broken bed, which squeaked and wailed at the slightest turnover, the only furnishings in the room were a greasy wooden table with bread crumbs and matching dining chairs.
On the wooden table was a plate containing a piece of cheese that had been half-eaten by rats. Roy shifted his gaze to the dirty cloth bag hanging from the dining chair.
The only useful thing in the bag was a dozen coins with unknown purchasing power, and a travel certificate written on brown paper.
"In the name of the Royal Academy of Magic, the mage of the Mingyun Empire, Roy, traveled to the Western countries......"
An implanted memory of this world instantly flooded into Roy's mind.
Here is another parallel universe Earth, currently in the Middle Ages. In 116 A.D., a great change changed history. The earth and the other world overlap in time and space. Thirty million humans have traveled to another world. And many monsters from other worlds have also come to Earth. This historical event, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire and the Han Empire, is known as the "Celestial Convergence". After the "Celestial Sphere Meeting", magic continued to grow on Earth. Humanity continued to explore this chaotic and magical power, and soon the first spellcaster was born. More than a thousand years have passed, under the influence of magic, in the vast Eurasian continent, human beings have established a new civilization system......
"It's a parallel world that has taken a fork in the road at the turning point of time......" Roy shook his head, carefully savoring the background history of this parallel earth.
It's a magical world, and that's obviously good news for Roy. As a mage, the spells he now has are a bit out of the ordinary. If you can learn new spells in this world and expand your magical knowledge base, it will be worth the trip.
After fully digesting the implanted memory, Roy continued to check the travel certificate.
The top half of the vellum paper states Roy's name, origin, and purpose of his travels, as well as his physical features. The lower part is stamped with customs clearance stamps - the stamped countries include the Sultanate of Bahri, the Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of Aragon, etc., which is simply varied.
Starting from the mysterious Mingyun Empire in the Far East, it traveled thousands of miles through the steppes of Central Asia, boarded ships in Tripoli, Syria, passed through the port of Messina, crossed the Mediterranean Sea, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, circled the Iliban Peninsula, and finally landed in Bordeaux......
The image of a foreign traveler who has traveled thousands of miles to Europe has become plump because of this little piece of brown paper.
"The identity information is very complete, there are no flaws, at least I won't be arrested as a black account or a runaway slave."
After inspecting his belongings, Roy opened the subspace package again. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his silver pistol and box containing five hundred rounds of ammunition lying unharmed in the package.
At this time, the first mission of the new world officially begins.
"Main Quest: World Explorer."
"Stage 1: There is money in your pocket, and your heart is very sweet."
"Explanation: You have just come into this world and know very little. However, in any world, it is necessary to have enough general equivalents to meet the necessities of life. And in the process of making money, you will also be able to have a preliminary understanding of the world. ”
"Objective: Earn the equivalent of 100 Grosso Silver."
"Okay, we'll have to find some work......"
On Earth, after becoming the executive vice president of the Shimada Foundation, Roy lived a leisurely life without worrying about eating and drinking. Now that he has crossed over, he has to start running for a living, which makes him feel very subtle.
Roy grabbed his travel certificate and a handful of change and pushed the door open.
"Attention!"
Across the street, the second-floor window suddenly opened, and a stout woman yelled as she threw a bucket of foul-smelling yellow mixture down the bucket.
Pedestrians screamed to dodge the fecal attack, causing chaos.
"Well, welcome to the Middle Ages." Roy muttered to himself.
Messy and low buildings, unorderly streets, sewage flowing because there is no sewer system, human and animal waste and piles of garbage can be seen everywhere, and every now and then a disgusting stench rushes into the nose, and perhaps in the whole city, only churches and cemeteries are the real pure land.
This was the medieval city, the settlement of commoners, craftsmen and merchants.
Noble lords? Of course, I lived in a cozy manor or castle in the countryside.
The poor state of hygiene in the Middle Ages was evident in the ravages of the Black Death. With the exception of the Italian peninsula, which inherited the drainage system of the Roman era, the population of which could exceed 100,000, the population of other large European cities was basically not more than 50,000. As the population grows, garbage and manure accumulate, drinking water becomes contaminated, epidemics run rampant, people die in large numbers – and the cycle repeats.
Although on this parallel earth, the process of human development has taken a fork in the road and a magical civilization has been established, but the level of social development in the Middle Ages is not much better.
The Lower Bordeaux district, where Loy is located, is the slum, and the worst filth in the city. He didn't expect that his first urgent need after starting the second crossing mission would actually be to escape from the dung.
It's embarrassing.
Walking at a brisk pace, following the salty sea breeze, Roy soon came to the docks.
The environment here is much better than in the lower town, which makes Roy breathe a sigh of relief.
He wandered around the docks, using his high sense to eavesdrop on the conversations around him, gradually learning about the people and the terroir, and thinking about what he should rely on to make money.
Carrying a big bag under the docks?
No kidding!
Anyway, he is also a senior engineer and space-time mage, and Roy Ko can't pull his face to move bricks.
The Bordeaux docks are very busy, with ships coming and going to unload and load, and there are many traders trading. After wandering around for a while, Roy has a more detailed understanding of the price level and financial system of the world.
Although this parallel earth has magic, it is also the same as the Earth Middle Ages, and the monetary system is very chaotic. However, the Grosso silver coins minted by the Italian city-states were soon popularized throughout Europe by Italian merchants as a common currency due to their exquisite craftsmanship and high purity.
A well-crafted one-handed longsword that can be passed on as a treasure to the next generation in an ordinary knight family is worth about 400 groso. So Loy's quest to earn 100 Grosso silver is not easy.
As he passed by a tavern, he saw two men sitting at a small table outside the tavern, playing a card game. In front of the two men were scattered copper and silver coins.
Roy had a flash of inspiration.
As a mage of the School of Prophecy, there are several spells that can help him to be invincible at the table. In addition, you can also buy items to improve your luck from the Ship Girl World Shop.
Making money by gambling is a shortcut.
After a while, the two men finished a game of cards. Roy stepped forward and asked, "Two gentlemen, what game are you playing?" ”
"Orientals?" A man with two missing fingers glanced at Roy and said, "No wonder you don't know the Gwent card." This is the most popular card game in Europe. Since the time of King Edward IV, it has gradually begun to become popular in Europe, and it has been more than 100 years now......"
The eight-fingered man was obviously a fan of Gwent cards, and when he finally saw a foreigner who didn't know anything about Gwent cards, he went out of his way to start talking to Roy Kop.
In addition to the super-large celestial convergence in 116 A.D., which completely changed the direction of the world, there have been several celestial sphere convergence phenomena on the earth, but the scale is small and has not caused much impact.
However, every time the celestial spheres meet, some otherworldly things will be brought to the earth. GWENT is one of them.
GWENT is different from a card game like poker, and every GWENT player must have his or her own deck. Buying, collecting, and building a powerful deck is also one of the great charms of GWENT.
Roy inquired and learned that buying a set of Gwent's most common base decks would cost 10 Grosso Silver.
Because of the relatively high barrier to entry, GWENT cards are more popular in the middle and upper classes.
For Roy, this is certainly a good thing. The purses of the common people are as rich as those of the nobles.
In order to earn money to buy a Gwent deck, Roy had to find another way.
Fortunately, there are three things that are most important in the docklands: drunken sailors, prostitutes with heavy makeup, and bustling casinos. A few coppers in Roy's pocket weren't enough to play Gwent, but enough to play the simplest of dice.
Among the prophecy spells of the Roy New Society, there is a three-ring spell - the secondary gambler's intuition.
When he was in the world of the ship mother, he relied on a four-ring gambler's intuitive scroll to kill all sides on Shengjian Day and create miracles. The secondary gambler's intuition spell only drops to 70% accuracy when predicting the outcome, and the spell lasts only an hour.
With this spell support, although it is impossible to win every battle in gambling, it is still no problem to win more and lose less.
