Chapter 97: The Transition Chapter is too lazy to think of names
Unlike other cities in the Doron Empire, Ironforge does not have an inner city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This first-line city, which has developed from a wasteland 500 years ago, covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers within the city walls alone, and is inhabited by nearly 800,000 creatures of various races, plus countless floating populations, it is among the largest in the entire provincial capital of the Duolun Empire.
The Iron Fort is divided into five urban districts, southeast, northwest, and middle, of which the first four directions are similar in size. The western and northern districts are dominated by residential and commercial areas, the eastern and southern urban areas are dominated by high-tech industrial areas, and the central urban area is the smallest, which may not be as large as a slightly larger town when the city was first built, but it is now the core of the city, ruled by a council of goblins, dwarves, and officials sent by the Doren Empire, and the lord of the city is Pushkin Volilla, a purebred goblin.
However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, as long as the official of the Duolun Empire is not stupid, then the so-called council must be the human side that has the highest right to speak, and the city lord is also a cover to show that the goblins are in charge. Moreover, since the empire has delegated military power to the goblins, and the violent institutions of the entire province are all composed of this kind of alien race, then there is no idea how many top-level combat forces live in this small central city, at least there must be three or five magic masters, otherwise once something happens, it will be impossible to suppress the field.
And if that's the case, then aside from the historical issues, Ironforge is not much different from other cities. But the reason why it is specifically stated that it does not have an inner city is because when Su Wen came to the central city, there were no barriers on the roads here, except for the original city wall that has been demolished for a long time with 500 years of history, and anyone can enter and exit the central city at will. It is even the most luxurious area of the entire Iron Furnace Castle, where various goblin colleges, concert halls, museums, luxury shops, administrative offices, mansions and sky-high real estate prices are almost all gathered here. It was populated by tourists and the wealthy, and the extraordinarily spacious streets were filled with luxurious carriages as far as the eye could see, and there was even a rare goblin all-magic power-driven sports car—compared to Suwen's brand-new Woking carriage, which was nothing more than shabby.
Although it is full of copper smell, this style of city makes Su Wen quite favorable.
You must know that in a standard imperial city like Tridia, without the status of a nobleman or a noble servant, it is impossible to get permission to enter the inner city, so that Su Wen has lived there for more than half a year, and he has not been able to enter the small city wall to see what the inner city looks like. Although this is the norm of the Brilliant Continent, it makes people look a little unpleasant after all.
Today is the sixth day of entering Ironforge Fort, and Su Wen had planned to visit the famous Tower of Fortune in the central city last night, but this interest was basically extinguished when he learned that the tower is the financial center of the entire city, and almost all the major chambers of commerce and companies use it as an office building, thus denying entry to foreign tourists.
After all, for pure tourism, Su Wen really doesn't have this hobby.
On the contrary, Laetitia's interest in the past few days has been very high, compared with her slightly silent personality before, the smile on her face after entering the Iron Forge, she has also shown great interest in all of Su Wen's arrangements, and there is no more backtalk. Su Wen didn't know if the reason for this situation was due to the squeezing for several days or the inexplicable high fever, but in short, this was definitely not a bad thing, as long as Laetitia became more obedient to herself, then it showed that Su Wen's favorability strategy operation had achieved excellent results.
Shortly after training, while it was still early, Su Wen sat in the lobby of the hotel and ate breakfast.
The staple of the plate is a gray bread known as "blacksmith's gold", which is said to have originated 500 years ago during the founding of the castle. At that time, the land was full of devastation left by the war, and only one of the most tenacious black wild wheat species in the southern continent could grow, and this variety of wheat was used to feed livestock in the place of origin, which shows how poor the quality of the product was. However, in these difficult conditions, the dwarves unleashed the talent of cooks that had long been concealed by their blacksmith aura - in their hands, in their hands, the inferior but most survivable wheat in the whole continent accompanied the two dwarf races through the most difficult years, and instead of being abandoned, it became a very famous specialty of the ironforge province, and the authentic taste had to be eaten at a high price......
Su Wen picked up the exotic food, which was covered with dwarven special spicy sauce to highlight a nose flush. When he took a bite, the rough texture of the bread made Su Wen feel that he was gnawing on a hard biscuit, which was extremely difficult to chew, and there was a faint sweet smell, and this unique taste from wheat could not be covered even by the hot sauce on the bread, or it was not intended to be covered at all, and the two complemented each other, making Su Wen feel a unique enjoyment called feelings. Do you really want to say if it's delicious...... Although he didn't know much about the taste of other races, it was barely enough for Su Wen to swallow.
Who asked him to order the "authentic" one, it was really not easy for the dwarves to make this kind of food at that time. Look at Laetitia's deluxe topping version of "Blacksmith Gold", the double-layered bun is filled with charred meat steaks on the outside and tender on the inside, the oily soup is accompanied by delicious sauces that are almost overflowing, and with the emerald green vegetables, it is really mouth-watering, not only that, but there are all kinds of high-end sauces like a palette in her plate, Su Wen finally couldn't help grabbing some of them, and cooperated to eat his share.
Oh, and speaking of which, lately Laetitia has been eating more and more, almost surpassing herself.
However, Su Wen felt that this was related to the sudden tripling of training volume.
The service in the goblin's restaurant was really attentive, and when he saw that Su Wen had basically finished eating, a green-skinned waiter soon brought exquisite desserts and napkins, plus a newspaper of the day.
Su Wen looked down and found that there were several bold headlines on the cover: "The Duchy of Revana announced that it would send troops to the Basara Mine, becoming the seventh participant in the battle, and the final ownership of the huge wealth is still in the fog." ”
The subtitle below is shocking.
"As of press time, 47,000 people have died and hundreds of thousands of civilians have been displaced in the three-month conflict in the mining area, and the Empire is calling for peaceful negotiations and a strong fight against terrorism and illegal mercenary groups. ”
Putting aside the in the second half, the reason for Pan's endless wars in the mountains is indispensable for the promotion of a large country like the Duolun Empire, as the mastermind behind the agents of those principalities, it is not too much to describe it as pleasant and pleasant to be able to enjoy the war money without bearing the consequences of the war. Su Wen felt a little strange, the Panyin Mountain Range area has been chaotic for more than three hundred years, and there are still so many civilians in this dung pit?
Are those people not afraid of death......
Tsk, I can't help myself, or don't stand and talk without backache. Su Wen was no stranger to that kind of precarious life, and although he had not personally experienced the horror, he still lit a candle for the civilians who insisted on staying in the Panyin Mountains.
As the main channel for obtaining information in the non-information age, the newspaper is really valuable to Su Wen, although it has little to do with his plan, but it is always good to know the facts around him. Of course, this kind of tightly controlled media is only the part that can be known to civilians, so it is good to refer to it, and there will not be too much dry goods.
If you want dry goods, you still have to find an intelligence merchant.
But Su Wencai was too lazy to do such a thankless thing that was laborious and unpleasant.
Su Wen briefly flipped through the newspaper, the first two pages mainly talked about how the Panin Mountains were bloodied, and the recent diplomatic events of the Duolun Empire, and the latter introduced the recent events of Ironforge and Ironforge Province. It is said that several villages were almost burned by the dragon's breath from the sky, and the direct and indirect property damage amounted to hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the casualties exceeded thousands, and the envoy sent by the Iron Furnace Province to negotiate and interrogate the guilt never returned. Now that things are getting bigger and bigger, the main energy of the Duolun Empire is focused on the outbreak of demonic beasts in the northern wasteland, and so far only a few mouths have been put to strongly condemn it, and no substantive action has been taken at all.
In today's report, several well-known large mercenary groups are jointly negotiating to form a team to go to the San Carlo Mountains to "seek justice", and it is said that they have also invited a Magister-level powerhouse. Su Wen saw the name of the "Black Beast Mercenary Group" in the list of more than a dozen mercenary groups, and suddenly missed James and his two brothers.
I don't know how it's getting now.
As for the rest of the newspaper, it basically doesn't have much nutrition. Commercial news is mainly for buyers to see, which is full of soft and hard advertisements for various mechanical products and weapons and equipment, entertainment news is nothing more than poems published by bards, concert hall art exhibitions and celebrations and live broadcasts, of course, there are also all kinds of messy lottery lottery information in each issue.
Dropping the newspaper and casually flipping through the information and data recorded in the past few days, Su Wen felt that the biggest gain from coming to Ironforge Castle this time had been achieved.
The maximum yield coefficient for gold and exchange points has been calculated, and it is neither a Terra Steel weapon that is both valuable and highly valued, nor a pig iron weapon that is the most expensive and commonly used as a miscellaneous weapon, but a second-class high-quality steel that does not look amazing. After calculation, each kilogram of second-grade high-quality steel is not worth much points in itself, but after processing into finished weapons and armor, once there is a systematic evaluation, it can be exchanged for an average of 14 exchange points, and the average price per kilogram obtained by dividing the total amount of finished products in the Suwen statistics by their approximate weight is 18 gold coins. Among them, parameters such as the degree of superiority and disadvantage, shape, and size of the weapon will have an impact on its value, but the impact is not large, and can even be omitted.
This means that the ratio of gold to exchange points is about 4:3. As for the more advanced enchanted items, due to their lack of mass properties and the inflated price of their gold coins, Su Wen still did not investigate.
Su Wen currently has fifteen thousand gold coins, and if all of them are used to purchase equipment of this material, he can basically pay off the arrears of the system, and as for the original nano armor that has been preserved in the daily recommendation, it will take less than 20,000 gold coins to get it. Su Wen was confident that he could get this money, because the three fireball rings alone, which had become the second fireball ring, could be worth tens of thousands of gold coins, but he didn't have any intention of making a move, and he didn't even enter the door of the auction house in the past few days, and the reason for this was that he was worried about the consequences of rash action.
Su Wen was indeed a little nervous, but he did not lose his mind, and after a few days of careful thinking, Su Wen finally did not decide to make a big move - on the premise of not having real hole cards, if it is not a necessary risk, it will do more harm than good.
At least for now, Su Wen still thinks so.
So, in order to have a head-on contact with the short creatures, you have to work hard for the carriage king.
