The third - into the town

Although Balf intended to stay with Aoheng for one more night, and even did not hesitate to take out the Ramsar wine, which he was not willing to drink on weekdays, this temptation was not enough for Aoheng, who was eager to learn about this otherworld. Still, he gave a small bite when he said goodbye.

It's not strong, and the body is almost there.

Ten miles southeast of Balf's hut is the nearest village, but the people in the village, like Balf, have never left Loren Magaga, so the useful new information that can be obtained there is estimated to be limited.

Forty miles east of the hut, the town of Bai Damo is the current target. That's the largest town in the neighborhood.

The reason why the big town was chosen instead of going directly to the city was because the entry and exit management of the city was much stricter than that of the village and town, especially the then magistrate of Gtoren, who was known for being cruel and suspicious, and closed the city and searched the city at every turn.

Ao Zongheng didn't want to challenge the city ban, at least not now, because when he was leaving, he got a key message from Balf - this world, the extensive use of "spells".

The land of Middle-earth is respected by martial arts, and all kinds of thaumaturgical magic methods are not impossible, but it is okay to be confused, and it is really useless to face the enemy. But Ao Zongheng's cognition of spells, but far above most of the Middle-earth warriors, when he was a teenager, Ao Zongheng had gone far outside the Zhenyi Pass, in the west of Middle-earth and other places such as Liuluoer, he had seen some spells that drove wind, fire, water and soil, insects, snakes, birds and beasts, it is said that the spells that circulated in Liuluo and other places were transmitted from the more distant West Elores hundreds of years ago, and the spells over there, regardless of the number of types or effects, were far better than the fragments of Liuluoer.

But the spells in Balve's mouth were obviously more magical than those of Eloris, and with Balf's extremely limited knowledge, he had seen a mage tap the ground, and then split the ground and swallow hundreds of soldiers. I saw the recitation of mantras again, and then it caused a storm. In Middle-earth, this is the ability of the gods to call the wind and rain and open the mountain and split the stones.

Actually came to a world full of immortals, and actually wanted to kill the gods in this world, thinking of this, Ao Zong's heart couldn't help but be in a trance, it was as illusory as a dream.

According to the standards of Middle-earth, it is a bit reluctant to call Bai Damo a town, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a township. There are only 200 houses, with a population of up to 1,000 people, and the town has only a stone pavement two feet wide in the vertical and horizontal directions, which is considered the main road.

The Liema Hotel is the best located hotel in town, right at the junction of two main roads, and it is the only building in town to be more than two storeys. So business here has always been the best in town, whether it is a passing traveler or a local, this is the first place for them to rest.

Before saying goodbye to Balf, Austein exchanged everything except the ring for a local outfit, and although Balf had been a woodcutter all his life, he could tell that the brocade gown on Austein was much more valuable than the rammed cloth robe and hood he had changed, so he put on another twenty bouhm coins, which was one-third of his family's cash.

With this outfit, Proud finally entered the Liema Hotel without being too obtrusive.

Ding Murray is the number one bartender at the Liema Hotel, and although he can only see the number two bartender when he changes shifts every day, the number one is the number one, and the number one has the pride of the number one.

Ding Murui is most proud of his poisonous eyes, he often claims to be the most discerning person in Bai Damo, who can see through other people's disguises and even inner secrets at a glance. In his spare time, his greatest hobby is to observe and flirt with people in the store, and strangers are often his first choice.

Today, his goal is to be arrogant.

In Ding Murui's eyes, there was really no more clumsy pretender than the arrogant one now. Obviously it's a fresh mouth.,The appearance is quite different from the residents of several counties around Gdolun.,It's a traveler.,The belt and leather boots are definitely the woodcutter's dress.,You must know that the woodcutter's boots are generally made of non-slip grooves.,But it's heavier and not suitable for long-distance walking.,No one will wear this dress when they go out.。 Even more suspicious, this guy actually came in and asked for a drink, and although it was the cheapest liquor in the store, I almost forgot the last time a woodcutter came in to drink in the store - everyone in the town knew that the wine was a pound cheaper in Mazar's shop than here.

It is only natural that the stranger who entered the shop was to inquire about the news, after all, the bartender was almost the most informative and fastest person in town, but this lowly disguised stranger actually asked me if there was a polydoc in the town who was familiar with history and geography. When an outsider goes to a hotel, he is either looking for a place to stay or looking for a woman, where will he be looking for a doctorate, isn't this too suspicious? By the way, the only Ph.D. scholar in the town, Gai Bobo, wasn't he arrested by the county government group two days ago, and the crime seems to be colluding with traitors, looking at this person's disguise, it is likely to be the same party of those traitors.

Of course, Ao Zongheng didn't know Ding Murui's inner activities, but with his vision and experience, he naturally saw that the bartender had a plan in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart, he always believed in the face of absolute strength, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks were meaningless, not to mention whether the bartender had a reason to murder him, even if he did, he didn't have the ability to murder himself.

According to Ding Murui's guidance, Ao Yue easily found the Gapopo house on the outskirts of the town, a simple blue-tiled house, with a wooden sign on the wall next to the door, which read "The House of the Kingdom Diplomat: Marchadou Gai Bo Gaibo, who teaches history, geography, literature, and the law of the kingdom. This is the more common style of the door number in the mainland, the main content is to indicate the name and identity of the owner, although there is no strict restriction, but like this kind of kingdom certificate of the title of doctorate, you can't write casually, if you can't get the certificate and be exposed, you can eat in prison.

The door of Gabo's house was closed, but Ao Zongheng did not come forward to knock on the doorβ€”Mr. Ding Murray said that Mr. Gapopo was probably attending classes at the home of an unknown student at this time, and that he would definitely return before the sun went down.

The calendar of this world is also based on the observation of the stars and the weather, and according to the current prevailing Surva Hao Divine Calendar, there are 300 days in a year, and each year is divided into three seasons and nine months according to climate change, and each day is divided into four rooms and twenty sections, and then there is no such thing as a minute and a second measurement, because the vast majority of people do not have such a precise time keeping need.

Since it is the thirty-three days of the month, there are only two hundred and ninety-seven days in the year, and there are three days left, which are not counted in any month, and are called godless days, and are also called the days when gods go, so the other two hundred and ninety-seven days are godly days.

Since it is called the divine calendar, it must be seen everywhere, the season, the month, and the hour are all named after the gods, and it is said that the ancient version was named after the gods for days, and then it was really inconvenient to remember, so it was gradually eliminated.

The three seasons of the year, the long days and short nights are called the sun god season, the short days and long nights are the moon god season, and the middle day and night are equal in length is the great god season, which is said to be the great god uses divine power to make the day and night equal in length, which is also the most important harvest season of the year.

The names of the nine months are, in order, the god of fertility, the god of beauty, the god of construction, the god of nature, the god of time, the god of fate, the god of death, the god of calamity, and the god of evil. If you look at their corresponding quarters, you can probably understand the relationship between them.

As for the four twenty quarters of the day, each of which is named after the basic elemental god, in simple terms, the day begins with the fire god of sunrise and ends with the earth god five quarters before dawn. In some cases, such as on the battlefield, there will be a more step-by-step timing notation, that is, each segment is divided into three parts: front, middle, and back.

By the way, there is a year before the quarter, in fact, the divine calendar has its own chronology, but because countries are unwilling to give up their own chronology, especially in various official documents, only their own chronology is used, so gradually the chronology of the divine calendar itself is not remembered by many people. On the same day, in Loren Magaga, here is the year 265 of the royal calendar, and when he crosses the border to the side of Miredan, it is the year 234 of the royal calendar.

Therefore, if the current moment is expressed according to the standard Suvar Hao God Calendar, it is the 265th year of the Kingdom Calendar, the 23rd day of the Sun God Season, and the 4rd quarter of the Wind God Calendar. Abbreviated as the 23rd day of the founding month, the wind is four days ago.

In fact, of course, these gods mentioned above have their own names, for example, the god of the sun is called Eryumo, but Ao Zhu doesn't like to remember a lot of god names, so he uses their titles to call them.

Standing ten paces away from the door of Gaybo's house, he stood with his eyes closed, he rarely waited for anyone, but he was never afraid to wait, nothing more than a kind of solitude.

Although his eyes were closed, he felt that in the houses around him, there were eyes looking at him through various cracks, but since he did not feel any danger, it should be a reasonable guard of neighbors against strangers.

However, he didn't wait long, and soon there was a sound of close footsteps in the distance, and there were dozens of people coming, judging from the footsteps that the body was armored, which surprised Ao Zongheng a little, and there was a breath of contact among the people who came.

Of course, that familiar atmosphere comes from Ding Murui, the bounty for reporting the rebellion is a first-class errand in this town, but it is the most difficult job to collect money, dealing with the armored soldier, the reward is gone, and Ding Murui naturally can't help but follow.

Arrogant didn't move, he didn't even look in the direction of the person who came, let the other party get closer, the person who came was really a dozen lightly armed soldiers, the embedded metal armor only protected the chest, crotch and part of the arms, and the weapons they were holding were only a few long swords and a few spears, not even a shield. Oh yes, and a couple of ropes.

They stopped at a distance of about ten paces from Aozhuan, and they had no intention of surrounding Aozhuo, and they didn't seem to take this outsider dressed as a woodcutter in their eyes at all.

"Dingm, is this what you call Gapopo's comrades?" the soldier, who looked like a captain, asked.

"Yes, it's him, you see him dressed as a woodcutter, but he doesn't look like a woodcutter at all, especially his hands! "Of course it was Ding Murray who spoke.

"Hey, outsiders, come with us obediently, don't think about resisting. ”

As soon as the captain finished speaking, several soldiers wanted to step forward and tie up Aoheng. But at about the same time, several people felt as if something had touched their bodies, and then, to their amazement, they could not move. To be precise, the part from the neck down seems to have lost consciousness.

"Captain, I can't move, he's a mage!!" shouted one of the most responsive soldiers.

However, no one came to help him, because everyone on the scene, including the company captain, seemed to be in this state of unconsciousness.

Except, of course, arrogance.

"It turns out that mages can also make people immobile, and the spells of this world really can't be underestimated", Ao Zongheng thought as he asked, "I'm looking for Gaibobo, can any of you tell me where he is?"

The soldiers did not answer, they all knew very well that they had no power to resist when they were banned, but the crime of leaking secrets to the bandits was also not something they could bear, so they all set their eyes on the captain.

Faced with the attention of his subordinates and arrogant eyes, the captain could only stubbornly answer: "I don't know." ”

Arrogant didn't speak, just looked the captain in the eyes.

The captain tried to avoid the other man's eyes, but suddenly he found that he could not breathe.

But obviously no one was pinching his neck.
