Chapter 2 Under the County Town
(Chapter 2 arrives!) Thank you for the awesome book friend's reward, ask for collection and recommendation in ~~~~~~)
Tallad City!
The county seat of Sirtshire!
I don't know if it's because of the magic world, the entire city wall of Taladshire is about 20 meters high, and there are many shooting holes and shooting platforms on the blue-gray city wall piled up with huge stones. On the firing platform, there are also obvious defensive weapons covered by tarps and sharp-eyed soldiers, who may attack the danger outside the city at any time.
"Magic Greatbow??? It's really well defended."
Before entering the city gate, Rod looked up at the shooting platforms at the top of the city gate that his group entered, and then Rod with a curious look followed into the city gate while thinking a little surprised in his heart.
Originally, Rhodes was surprised that there was a small mage tower in Talad County, but now after actually arriving in Talad City, he felt that the water in this magical world was indeed deeper than he thought before.
Magic Greatbow!
This is one of the achievements of the popularization of magic in this world, and the range and lethality can be said to be a great killing weapon that surpasses similar weapons in the cold weapon era on earth. It is said that even gold-rank monsters have to kneel in front of the magic giant crossbow and specially equipped crossbow arrows, and it is one of the important weapons belonging to humans against all kinds of monsters and aliens in this world.
However, the only thing that Rhodes didn't expect was that he saw this kind of big killing weapon in just one county town, although after investigation, the number was only more than ten on the six gates of Tallard (the others were ordinary giant crossbows), but it also made him understand that the situation in this magical world was not as simple as he thought, and he needed to act more carefully.
"It's better to be cautious."
Thinking of the magic giant crossbow that gave him a feeling of extreme danger just now, Rhodes thought silently in his heart.
Originally, Rod was still a little proud after his body was strengthened, but after seeing the magic giant crossbow that was said to be unbearable to gold-rank monsters, Rode's proud heart suddenly disappeared.
Just one of the remote counties in the Five Kingdoms of the Northland has such things as a mage tower and a magic giant crossbow, so what kind of defense and strength will the provincial capital of the province have? What about the royal capital of the kingdom of Taran? And even what would the magic-making technology and related powerhouses of other human nations look like? There is also the Scarlet Canyon of the Five Kingdoms of the Northland to resist the first line of the Orc Empire

The county town of Tarad is not too prosperous as a remote county town in the kingdom of Tarland near the Far North Mountains, but the public facilities and many citizens in the city are still the largest town of Taffeta with only a few thousand people.
Walking onto the stone pavement large enough to accommodate four carriages in parallel, with the exception of the two knights of Tamon and Rod, although the rest of the team tried to control their expressions, judging from the fact that most of them looked at the open shops around them and the flow of people in the county from time to time, it was obvious that the vast majority of the soldiers and the retinue of the convoy were unusually interested in the prosperity of the county town of Tallad, which they had only heard of before.
After all, this world is no better than Rhodes's previous life, many people did not leave their noble territory until they died of old age, and the county town of Talad, which has almost 10,000 citizens, seems to the soldiers and retinue who have been to the surrounding aristocratic territory villages and towns at most, and it is no less than the novelty of Grandma Liu's first entry into the Grand View Garden.
Of course, as an official knight of the bronze rank, Tamon must have seen the county city of Talad a long time ago, and it was clear to see him take out a dozen silver coins and send away a few city defense soldiers who were ready to lead the way.
Rod's words are purely that he has seen the big cities on the earth with millions or even tens of millions of people, and now he feels a little curious when he looks at the city of Tallard with tens of thousands of people, and there will never be any shock or anything like that!
"The Mage Tower is really a magical version of the city's monitoring method."
After feeling the vague feeling coming from the county lord's mansion and the information he had gathered before, Rhodes, who withdrew his gaze from the surrounding streets, muttered to himself.
Rhodes only knows a rough idea of the mage tower at present, but at least the general situation is similar to that of the mage tower in DND, which can not only greatly improve the strength of the mages in it, but at least monitor the general environment around the mage tower and the strong people who exceed the standard.
The owner of this mage tower in the city of Talad in the city lord's mansion is said to be a gold-rank magician and a member of the family of Count Laman, otherwise it would be impossible for Earl Raman to let the other party build the mage tower in the city lord's palace and provide a large number of resource buildings.
However, in addition to this gold-rank magician, the entire Laman family is said to have two gold-rank knights and warriors, plus the double-digit silver-rank knights and warriors in the family and vassal families, so the Raman family, which has a history of nearly 1,000 years, is currently the undisputed number one noble family in Sirt County.
Rhodes knew that the Raman family was either because of anything else, or because of the third and fourth batches of contractors in the game space of the gods, two of them were selected from the Raman family and the apprentices of the mage tower to become contractors.
It's a pity that although Rhodes himself borrowed the game space of the gods to get the inheritance of the Laman family about knights, the mage tower and the mage inheritance are in the process of careful testing in consideration of the situation of the mage tower, and even so far the game space of the gods has not figured out the relevant defense situation of the mage tower.
Before reaching Cheng DΓΉ, who had not reached the burning eyebrows, Rhodes still tried his best to demand steady development, so he did not take drastic invasion measures against the mage tower in the city lord's mansion of Talad, but slowly excavated the relevant secrets of the mage tower and various inheritances and news about the mage with the help of the contractor who was still a mage's apprentice.
"Let's see if we can speed up the action."
After Rod withdrew his gaze from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, he secretly muttered in his heart.
Well, Rhodes is really interested in magicians, but it's a pity that up to now, the game space of the gods has stored a lack of information about magicians. It's just that the two mage path routes and inheritances of the ice and wind systems of the red copper rank have been brought out, and the other water systems, earth systems, and fire systems are still standing still!
Although Rhodes felt that if he went to the Scarlet Canyon, he should have a chance to obtain the inheritance of the relevant magicians, but he could not give up on other routes
Tamon, who was leading the way in front, didn't know what was going on in his mind at all, but led the group to find a suitable place to rest for a night, and then he quickly found someone to handle the relevant certification documents tomorrow and then really set off towards the place in the Scarlet Canyon.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Half an hour later, in the south of Tallad, in a room on the second floor of a mid-range hotel with decent decoration.
"Listen, we're probably going to be in Tallad City for two days, so you can take turns out to hang out and relax, except for half of the men left on guard, but don't get into any trouble! Got it?"
Looking at the few cronies in front of him, Tamon commanded them very strictly.
Tammon is really serious, after all, this is Tallard County Town and not Taffeta, if these guys under his command are not careful, they may provoke someone who should not be messed with.
However, if these guys are forced not to go out, the journey to the Scarlet Canyon this time is too far and dangerous, and it is normal for dozens of people to relax by the way before setting off, after all, no one knows if they will be buried in a foreign land in the process of this super long journey.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Tamon still asked the selected soldiers and retinue to take turns to relax for a few days, at least they would not regret and regret when they fell on the dangerous road after the official departure
"Great!"
"Have a good trip to Mary's Bar for a drink this time!"
"Lacey, you guy miss the figure and appearance of the waitress in that bar."
After listening to Tamon's words, several leaders of the team who had seen the prosperity of Talad City cheered and discussed, and even Rhodes, who was "resting" in the guest room, heard the voice.
"Oh my boy, I wish you all met dinosaurs at the bar"
After listening to the fact that the team leader and first-level guys had already begun to discuss the topic that the waitress in the bar in Tallard City was the most beautiful, Rhodes, who was resting in a separate room, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and "blessed" the few enthusiastic guys with great malice.
Although Rhodes felt that he was already a little restless in the youth, he was obviously not interested in the tavern hostesses and the like - this was not due to moral cleanliness or discrimination against each other, but as the heir and time-traveler of a baron's aristocratic family, if he wanted a woman, why should he have a slightly higher vision and standards? I don't want to say that I have to be a XX elf queen or a human princess or something, but I don't want to go to the bar to find a hostess, right?
"Forget it, let's go to space training"
Shaking his head and banishing some of the loving images in his mind about what he had seen in his previous life, Rhodes began to find a place to lie down and prepare to enter the space to see the situation and conduct his daily training by the way.
There was no way, now that he had begun to travel to the Scarlet Canyon, Rhodes also felt the heavy pressure.
