Chapter 86: Patients with Sioux Frager Syndrome
Since the system did not give a rating of the two flint pistols, Su Wen knew that they were not worth a few bucks, and they also had some research value, so he never thought of selling them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After buying black powder for pistols from a weapons dealer in the Northern Wastelands, Suwen tried firing with it to see how the two firearms differed from his impressions of similar weapons. However, since there was no way to carry out precise mapping and calculations, the detailed data in them could not be obtained at all, and the things that could be obtained by feeling alone could not be said to be accurate, so he planned to take them out for further research after entering the Iron Furnace Province and stabilizing them.
Unexpectedly, it was actually checked out at the border checkpoint of the Iron Furnace Province.
Before this, even if Su Wen knew that the Duolun Empire banned the circulation of firearms, he thought that as long as he didn't take it out openly, it didn't matter, and he didn't expect the current situation to occur at all. And according to the information obtained from Donald, even if he entered the Iron Furnace Province instead of leaving, carrying a firearm without permission was probably not a crime that could be settled casually.
The legal system of the Duolun Empire is so strange, disputes between commoners usually do not cure major crimes, but once they are involved in the interests of the nobles or the country's mold, it is basically a killing.
Therefore, without much consideration, Su Wen immediately took out the two flint muskets from his luggage and threw them into the virtual balance of the system. The balance of exchange points in the status bar jumped slightly, and the total price increased by less than half a point, which was simply a big loss, but at least it helped Su Wen avoid trouble.
The two soldiers quickly opened the door and demanded that Su Wen be examined, but of course nothing was found. After symbolically removing a movable iron plate from the bottom of the carriage, there was no problem when the carriage passed through the inspection again, so the alarm was recorded as a false alarm by them - in fact, Su Wen knew that he was not a special case, usually 90 out of 100 alarms would eventually become false alarms, otherwise the guards would have taken a large number of people while he was in line. Sure enough, the trigger conditions of the alarm are related to the amount of metal contained in the carriage, and it is particularly sensitive to firearms.
All in all, Su Wen stepped on the land of the Iron Furnace Province in a painful state.
It was far from the first time Su Wen had seen a foreign race, but walking on the plain at nightfall, he could still feel a completely different aura from before. Compared to the interior of the Duolun Empire, the Iron Furnace Province is the home of foreign races, and humans are just foreign guests, so the roads and architectural styles here are all very different - as a welcome avenue to leave a first impression on outsiders, the ostensible owner here: the goblins, has spent a lot of effort and effort here, and the brilliantly lit and metallic style makes Su Wen feel as if he has entered a new world of curiosity. Not far in front of the road, the alien town was as bright as day, like a group of steel beasts that were extremely conspicuous in the darkness, making Su Wen have the illusion that he had not traveled back.
But after all, it was an illusion, because Su Wen didn't think that the buildings in his other world would be made into the shape of rockets. When he got closer, Su Wen even felt that this goblin town named Kokin was not like a town at all, but more like a giant New Year splendid barrel stuffed with all kinds of fireworks and rockets, which made him worry about whether it would explode in an instant.
Although the goblins are unreliable, they will not joke with their own and other people's lives, although the architectural style of Kejin Town is not too weird to describe, but Su Wen's worries are naturally superfluous.
The horse-drawn carriage drove steadily on the road at night, but there was nothing lonely about it because of the lights and the traffic around it, and once inside the town, the sky was almost obscured by the towering buildings all around, and the hustle and bustle of the lights meant that the day was far from over.
It's no wonder that the province of the Iron Furnace is known as the Golden Grotto, and although it has almost the same geographical conditions and prosperity as the town of Erimo a few kilometers away, it is clear that the style here is to honestly take out gold coins and enjoy the splurge. Looking at the rows of shops on the streets, the casinos everywhere, and the carnival-like open-air balls, Su Wen can guarantee that the economic status of this place may not be matched by three or five Erimo towns, and the most direct impact is ...... The cost of accommodation tonight is estimated to be several times more expensive.
Because he had been bombarded by goblin advertisements like a polluted spirit as early as in the province of Atalan, although he was annoyed by it, because of this, Su Wen had already had immunity when he saw the real goblin, and he almost didn't have the sense of disobedience when he saw a strange alien. He believed that most human travelers who entered the Ironforge Province for the first time would be similar to him, at least they would not have much ill will feel towards goblins - they can eliminate the vigilance and vigilance caused by racial differences before the travelers even enter the Ironforge Province, so that they will be more willing to take the gold coins out of their pockets, and Su Wen has to admit that it is a pretty good idea to add "more pleasing to the eye" goblin portraits to the advertising bombardment.
The world created by the goblins is so lively that it is almost pompous, so much so that Laetitia, who has always been quiet, is also attracted to it. It was obviously her first time in the Iron Furnace Province, and her eyes widened as she saw a world that was completely different from what she had known before, and through the glass of the carriage window, the noise and light of this alien world gave her an indescribable strange look.
Su Wen felt that she had rarely been so excited.
......
It didn't take long for Su Wen to decide where he should stay tonight.
It's a very self-aware hotel, and the reason why Su Wen describes it this way is because it's almost the tallest rocket-shaped building in the whole of Kokin, and it's called the Rocket Hotel. At the same time, it is almost the only hotel in the entire town of Kokin that has a vacant seat, because it is so big - this barrel-shaped building with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 20 stories is definitely a landmark even in the large main city of the Duolun Empire. It is said that there is an open-air plaza with a swimming pool on the huge umbrella on the top floor of the hotel, but Su Wen is not here for a vacation, and this thing has no appeal to him.
However, Laetitia seemed a little tempted when she heard the goblin attendant say this, but she didn't say anything in the end, and silently stayed in an ordinary double room with Su Wen.
"Want to go out for a walk?"
When Su Wen said this, Laetitia, who was about to read quietly, had some surprise on her face.
In the past, whenever Su Wen went to a new province, he would always take some time to walk around the streets and alleys, as well as observe the shops, especially those that mainly sold weapons and equipment, and record the local market. Of course, when doing these things, in order to avoid trouble, Su Wen never let Laetitia follow him, after all, a half-elf walking on the street will always attract attention, and according to Su Wen's judgment, most of the attention brought by this kind of attention is not a good thing.
Therefore, when he came to Kojin Town, Su Wen naturally had to make this kind of observation.
Although Kojin Town is only a border town in the Iron Furnace Province, it may not have any valuable information, but in any case, this place belongs to the Iron Furnace Province after all, and it is inevitable to take a walk and take a look. As for the plan to bring Laetitia, it was because Su Wen felt that she seemed to be more interested here, and maybe she could take the opportunity to brush up on her favorability or something.
After being surprised, Laetitia nodded to Suwen.
"Go. ”
She seemed a little pleased.
On a journey across most of the Doron Empire, the town of Kokin was not at all huge, but the bustle of the city was unmatched by the main cities of the provinces. Sitting in a carriage and walking through the streets are two completely different flavors, the former is like a horse and flowers, and the latter is really integrated into the world.
In front of the Rocket Hotel, there is a huge fountain with countless lights and sprayers to create an imaginary wonderland, and there are even lush forests between the fountains. In the canopy of trees more than twenty meters high, several huts made of vines hung upside down among the branches like cradles, and when Su Wen looked up, he found several shimmering tree elves flapping their wings and flying next to the huts, and two of them poked their heads out of the holes in the treehouse, looking down on the noisy crowd below with strange eyes.
Not much larger than butterflies, the Dryad is a close relative of the Elves, and while they pose little threat to other creatures, they should have been banished to the Pole along with the Elves after the Race War. Unexpectedly, the goblins actually set up a small home for them here, but Su Wen knew that the purpose of the goblins was obviously not for humanitarian aid, but to use them as a landscape that blended with the fountain in the forest for outsiders to enjoy.
Looking up at the group of tree elves, Laetitia's expression seemed to have some expectation, but more of it was some kind of inexplicable sadness.
"They're not going to be happy. ”
She said softly, as if she was just speaking to herself.
"That's because you're well fed. Compared to more miserable creatures, these elves are doing well. Su Wen patted Laetitia on the shoulder and said, if you can live and work in peace just by paying this level of price, I don't know how many creatures on this continent will wake up laughing when they dream.
While saying this, Su Wen noticed that by the fountain not far away, there was a little human girl standing with a basket of flowers, obviously selling flowers.
Su Wen was immediately overjoyed, this time he came out to brush up on Lyticia's favorability, and just when she was worried that she had become sentimental because she saw her distant relatives, the props in front of her appeared. According to the usual routine, this kind of little girl should be very eye-catching to sell bouquets, but although this Lori is not active at all, there is no better choice left and right, so it's better to go by yourself, as for Leticia...... There will be no sense of surprise when you bring her, and it is estimated that the favorability brought by the bouquet will be greatly reduced. Although she is not very familiar with Cokin, she is not a child anymore, how can there be a problem when she leaves for a while?
Thinking so, Su Wen bypassed the half of the square outside the fountain, came to the little Lori in the dress, first patted her head affectionately, praised her for definitely becoming an excellent maid in the future, and then spent 5 gold coins to buy five bouquets of red roses in her sweet smile, without realizing that she was slaughtered at all.
After little Lori tied them into flowers with beautiful gold leaf paper and tied them with cute bows with colorful ribbons, Su Wen held them with great satisfaction and walked towards the place where they came.
But when Su Wen found that Laetitia was surrounded by several drunken human merchants from a distance of more than ten meters, Su Wen suddenly agreed with the evaluation James had given him.
This damn crow's mouth!
