Chapter 1: The Ancient Capital of a Thousand Years

The capital of the Kingdom of Terrela, of course, is the city of Terrela.

As the most famous cultural city in the Western Continent, the history of Terrela City is much earlier than that of the Kingdom of Terrela...... I dare not say more, at least two or three times is far more than that. After all, there are changes in dynasties, but not in cities. It's like the vast majority of countries on earth have capitals that predate this one — oh, with the exception of the United States.

Standing not far from the city gate, looking at the mottled old city wall, the panda felt a little emotional.

According to the game, due to climate reasons, the earliest civilization in the Western Continent was in the Trera region. Today, the Terrela City Court Museum is home to several precious artifacts from the First Age.

Later, the world changed, the worlds separated, the First Age ended, various races rose one after another, and humanity also shined as one of them, and in the prosperous "Second Age" era, Trella was also one of the ancient civilizations.

Then, the Second Age ended with war, which lasted for centuries and led not only to the great weakening of the races, but also to the great decline of civilizations—in the midst of wars, necromancy, demons...... These guys are the sworn enemies of civilization, and under their repeated ravages, the once prosperous Second Age has almost disappeared. It wasn't until the decisive battle between heaven and hell later, when both sides reached a ceasefire, and by the way, various forces such as necromancy and alien beasts were swept out of the world, that there was peace in the world and the Third Age.

The founding of the Third Age was marked by the Continental Congress, and the place where the Continental Congress was originally held was the city of Terrera.

The panda looked at the stones that built the city wall, and looked at the traces of the wind and rain swords on the stones, and couldn't help but think of a poem.

The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen.

The history of civilization in "New World" is actually not very long, the history recorded in the East Soil, dating back to the time of the Emperor Shengjun Fuxi, is more than 7,000 years, and the Western Continent side has several dynasties, the exact time can not be judged, but in the second era, there were scholars who dug up the ruins of the "Founding Ancient City", and used magic to determine that there were nearly 4,000 years from that time, and from then to now, it will not exceed 2,000 years.

Six or seven thousand years of time seems nothing compared to the tens of thousands of years in Xianxia, but for all living beings in this world, it is actually a long and terrifying time.

Among ordinary creatures, dragons have a particularly long lifespan, but so far, no one has ever seen a dragon live to be two thousand years old.

Elves, especially High Elves, also live a long life, but even the elders of the High Elf Court who return to the human world in the future are only 1,300 or 400 years old.

The immortals of the Eastern Earth often boast of longevity and Tianqi, but those immortals who manifest the world are often only a thousand years old, as for the so-called "Xiaju soaring beyond life and death...... Since there will be no more contact with the human world, it can only be treated as if they do not exist - not to mention that the theory of Xiaju's ascension is also very mysterious, the Taoist Taishang has not said this, and the Buddhist Muni has not said this, but many braggarts in later generations often say this.

According to the understanding of the strategy group, probably in the world, if all tangible things do not use methods such as sleep to delay aging, living to the level of thousands of years is basically the limit.

If you leave the world, you can prolong your life, but there is also a limit to how long it can be extended. Among all the characters that appear in the entire "New World", the only one who may be truly "immortal" may be the Dragon of Doom, in addition, whether it is the archangel and the archdemon of the Western Continent, or several top bosses such as Gonggong Zhurong in the Eastern Continent, excluding the time of sleep, the time of real activity may not be thousands of years.

After all, this is a fantasy world, not a fairy tale, and the life span is too long, so it doesn't make much sense.

The current city of Terrela was built shortly before the Third Age, but many parts of the city walls are based on the old walls of the Second Age. For example, in the area of the West City Gate, there is a large area of ancient city walls from the Second Era - this is the section that the panda is looking at at the moment.

It is the oldest building still in use in the world, even older than the palaces of hell and heaven. According to the magic of the game, the ancient walls of Trera are more than 3,500 years old - they have been in use since they were built more than 3,500 years ago, and they have never been abandoned until today.

The panda stood outside the West City Gate for a long time, and the city gate guards didn't come over to ask anything, but when he finally entered the city, he said with a smile: "There are many people who come to reminisce about the past, but orcs are rare." ”

The panda also smiled: "Orcs also understand culture." ”

"Well, it's good to understand culture, no matter who you are, you should know a little bit about culture. ”

This soldier's statement may serve as a footnote to the city of Terrera.

Walking into the city, you can see well-mannered scholars everywhere, as if this ancient city is full of scholars. Dressed in voluminous robes and holding books and banknotes, these scholars discussed issues in twos and threes, pondered in silence, and more often read books or copied notes.

Panda walked around the city, looked around, and found that almost all of the shops here were also stationery businesses. At first glance, it looks like a bookstore stationery store, even if it is a restaurant, there are often words such as "part-time transcription" on the signboard, I really don't understand what is the relationship between eating and copying books?

He imagined it for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

That's not your average weirdness!

The panda looked around, left and right, and turned around several times against the system map, and finally found its destination.

The Tarahan Chamber of Commerce in Trera, a three-story shop, is a slightly remote location, but the façade is quite large.

He came to the shop, and the guy in the shop immediately came over and asked him enthusiastically what he wanted.

"What do you have here?" asked Panda.

"Whether you're looking to buy some leather for armor or a tasty snack, we at Tara Khan produce the finest furs and leathers from Traira, and we've recently added delicious sweets, so we're the best choice for you!" said the guy confidently.

The panda looked at the counter and saw a lot of turquoise candy, which was made from the "grass candy" invented by Liu Daoqing.

"How's the grass candy business? It's profitable, isn't it?" he asked casually.

"You're really an expert! Grass candy is our fist product! Since its launch, it's sold so well that it's limited every day!" the guy said with a smile, "Today's purchase limit is almost over, if you come a little later, you'll have to buy it tomorrow." ”

The panda nodded, but he didn't mean to shop, and asked, "A few days ago, a group of young and strong businessmen should have come to you, how are they?"

The man was stunned and looked at him in surprise, but did not answer.

"Don't be surprised, I'm their boss - I know your Earl Joseph, and some time ago, I did business with your Chamber of Commerce. However, at that time, I was going to Molai, and I separated before I arrived in the royal capital. ”

"It's Mr. Bell!" The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the identity of the panda, and immediately replied respectfully, "Those fellows of yours are obsessed with art, and they are studying art these days, leaving early and returning late." If you want to meet them, just wait until the evening. ”

The panda's eyes widened in disbelief at his ears.

Hooked on art?

The pirates?

What the hell is this! They don't even know a word, how can they be "hooked on art"?!
