Chapter 62: Valantu City
After crossing a boundary marker marked by a boulder, and repairing for the night in the town of Red Maple, the caravan arrived at the city of Valrantu in the early evening of the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a population of just over 200,000 and divided into six dukedoms, and a small nation of pioneers still in disarray, the size of Valantu is nothing short of spectacular.
The walls are only about three stories high, and many professionals can easily climb over them if they are not guarded.
In the middle of a war, such a wall would only be able to hold back an ordinary army. For the more powerful professions, the soldiers stationed at the walls had to pay a heavy price to drive them off the walls.
Paid the entrance fee to the city.
Passing through the gates, guarded by pikemen and tax collectors, the Romen bid farewell to the caravan and entered the Eurasian city.
Unlike the city-states he had traveled all the way to, Valantutin was located on the northwest side of the continent of Ferendon.
To the north, beyond Valantutan, are the northern kingdoms. To the west are vast desert areas and more westerly, similar to the extent of the Asian civilization on Earth.
Influenced by geography, Valantutan's cultural style is more similar to a fusion of southern cultures, northern cultures and desert cultures.
This is reflected not only in the architecture and clothing of Valentitan, but also in the beliefs and profession of Valanturitan.
As soon as he entered the city of Valantu, Rohmon saw the numerous temples that stood along both sides of the main road of the royal city......
The leaden gray of Mogsol, the Lord of the North Wind, the temple of countless metal spires towering......
Majestic, tall and magnificent, with huge white stone pillars as the main structure, fully considering the use of light, the interior of the temple is full of bright and bright 'dawn gods' churches.
The whole body is made of yellow dolomite boulders, which are simple and heavy, and the four huge pillars on the outside are carved with a huge desert temple with the standing statue of the ancient desert god......
Countless shrines are gathered here, and it is magnificent.
Just as Rohmon was looking at the different architectural styles of these temples with great interest, a child in rags suddenly ran over.
"Adventurer, do you need a guide? As long as three ...... No, two coppers! The skinny boy, who was probably not more than ten years old, looked up.
Rohmon tossed a silver coin: "Take me to the best local weapons shop, then to a clean inn." ”
It's not the first time I've met this kind of kid who specializes in looking for outsiders to make money as guides near the city gates.
Nor is he a virgin who wants to resist child labor in a world where even slavery still exists.
It is actually much more realistic to give more money so that this child can eat a few good meals.
Thereupon.
Led by this young but clever guide, Rohmon soon found a weapons shop in the city of Valantu.
Haven't entered the door yet.
The sound of clanging iron and the sound of backyard blowers blowing flames came out.
"Uncle York is the best blacksmith in the royal city, you must want to buy a weapon that you want, adventurer, right? There's absolutely nothing wrong here! The little guide explained, and led Rohmon into the store.
"What do you want to buy?" The guy who watched the shop greeted him.
Noting his gaze, he glanced at the child who was leading the way, and immediately understood in his heart that the child had some "pure money dealing" with the shop. Specially helped some shops in Valanturtenin to attract customers.
Cut......
Rohmon took a sip to himself, saying that he was afraid that this store might not have any good goods.
And what happened next confirmed his suspicion - although the business in this store is good, the craftsmanship is sparse!
The farm tools and ordinary swords made are okay, but if they are specially provided to professionals, especially those who have requirements for the quality of weapons...... The mortal iron in this shop is useless.
If it's a blunt object, it's okay to say.
But the kind of sword that the Romans need, the kind of swords that wanderers and swordsmen need, can't be made.
As he expected.
Although in order to avoid the protagonist hanging up and causing the plot to collapse greatly, he didn't look for those famous weapons in the book, but as an important part of the battle, the weapons in his hand can't be sloppy!
For example, in Chinese martial arts novels, the realm of 'flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people' or 'there is no sword in your hand, but there is a sword in your heart' is very beautiful...... But it is a pretending B behavior and should not be promoted.
Besides, even if you are strong in martial arts - in the case of similar opponents, if you don't have the weapons you can take advantage of, you will suffer a lot of losses?
Can you imagine that Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng did not use a sword when they fought to the death, and used branches instead? Or do you want to find 10,000 martial arts masters and deal with the Eight-Nation Coalition with loaded guns and ammunition empty-handed?!
The quality of the blades in this weapon shop is not good, so Rohmon naturally won't listen to them and make do. directly pushed away the guy who wanted to forcibly sell, and threw a few coppers to the child who led the way: "You don't have to follow me." ”
Sent this dishonest kid away.
As for the silver coin before, although it was a good income for the boy, it was nothing to Rohm, and he did not bother to pursue the boy's behavior of leading him to such a garbage shop.
Instead of wasting time on this kind of slippery little ghost, it is better to get down to business as soon as possible.
This time.
He doesn't believe in these local imps who collude with the shops - who knows what the hell they are looking for weapons shops and hotels?
Although he is not afraid to spend money, he hates this deception.
So, he simply asked some adventurers with good weapons on the street.
This time, Rohmon quickly found a humble blacksmith shop.
Backstreets, side streets.
If it weren't for the short, bearded middle-aged dwarf in the shop as soon as he entered, he probably wouldn't have believed that this was a weapons shop capable of crafting extraordinary weapons.
But when I saw the dwarves, it was reliable.
As the largest and most authoritative casting group in the world of Feiren, the casting level of the dwarves can be called superb.
Dwarven blacksmiths, even if they are not high-level craftsmen in the race, are first-class forgers if they are placed among humans.
Judging from his age, this bearded middle-aged dwarf has at least a few decades of casting experience, even close to the lifespan of an ordinary human.
Coupled with the unique crafting techniques and skills of the dwarves, I am afraid that it is not difficult for him to create ordinary extraordinary weapons......
Explain the meaning.
The bearded man happily offered the price.
It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. Luo Meng, who had already prepared the cost of the weapon, directly auctioned a gold bar that doubled the price, and specifically asked the bearded dwarf to add some higher-grade demonic substances to his weapons and add some special "attributes" to the weapons he created.
