It's quite a long journey to get from Pyroxene Town to the Void Mask Playground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you let ordinary business travelers travel in a carriage, it will take about fifteen days, including five days from Huishi Town to Gold Rush Town, five days from Gold Rush Town to Dragon Roar Town, and another five days from Dragon Roar Town to Void Mask Playground.

A five-day journey is a relatively common distance between towns in this world. Why is this distance? Because if it is too far away, it will be more difficult for each other to communicate with each other, and there will be no mutual help; if it is too close, the development space of each other will overlap with each other, and various contradictions will inevitably arise in the future.

Therefore, in addition to those towns that are located in prosperous areas and have long been left with no choice, towns such as Huishi Town, Gold Rush Town, and Dragon Roar Town, which have been reclaimed in the wilderness, will take ordinary people's five-day travel as a distance from each other, and maintain contact with each other just right.

This "one-day trip" certainly does not refer to walking, and no one can travel on two legs in the wilderness except for the seasoned adventurer. In that case, when you are exhausted after a day's trek, you will often be attacked by monsters and lose your life.

A one-day trip refers to the journey of an ordinary horse-drawn carriage.

How far the carriage on the earth traveled in a day, Sui Xiong had not studied before crossing, but it was likely to be much closer than the carriage of this world. Because the pack horses of this world are much stronger than those on Earth, they can pull the cart and walk unhurriedly all day, and they can run for a while in between. Although Sui Xiong has never ridden a horse, he has read a lot of historical travel novels, which often mention that cavalry is good at battlefield charging and short-distance maneuvering, and long-distance maneuvering is not as good as infantry, mainly because the horse's endurance is far inferior to that of people.

Early in the morning, the carriage set off with the visitors of Pyroxene. The car was driven by several adventurers, who were also the nominal bodyguards of the convoy.

If you encounter a monster that is too fierce, there will naturally be Mr. Qiao Xiu who is in charge of the convoy to make a move. But it's not a desert off the beaten track. From time to time, there are business trips, and most of the more powerful monsters have enough intelligence to deliberately avoid such places and not have a head-on conflict with humans. So in general, there are some veteran adventurers who serve as guards, almost at the intermediate level. That's enough.

This time was no exception, and there was no trouble along the way. As the sun was about to set, the convoy finally arrived at a small village, which was also the campsite scheduled for today.

Traveling in the wilderness is just that, and you should never camp unless you have to. If you can, live in the village as much as possible, or at least live next to the village. Ordinary monsters don't attack villages. But he is very keen to attack travelers who sleep in the wilderness.

Of course, this is for ordinary people and adventurers of the average level. Veteran adventurers often go deep into the barren land, camping and sleeping in the open are commonplace, and fighting monsters at night is not uncommon. Isn't that normal for them? If they can sleep peacefully for a few days without monsters to disturb them, they will be nervous and nervous, worrying if they have broken into the lair of terrifying monsters with a huge sphere of influence such as the primeval dragon.

Reif: They stayed in the carriage almost all day. But there was no time wasted, Mayor Ferex arranged for someone to introduce them to the Void Mask Playground. Introduce the countries and regions on this continent, and by the way, teach them to read.

The writing tool they use is a new simple stationery in the "hometown of stationery" Gelteng City, a soft brush with a roll of light gray cloth. When you want to write, you write with a soft brush dipped in water on a gray cloth, and the color becomes very black. Forms black handwriting. And when a piece of cloth is full of handwriting, as long as it is hung on the outside of the carriage and blown for a while, the gray cloth will dry, and it will become the gray and non-slippery appearance before, except for the faint water marks on it. The handwriting can no longer be seen and can be reused.

According to the adventurer who taught them to read, it was an invention of Baron Gerten – now Viscount Gerten – Lady Orien. She believes that the so-called knowledge and education is to let more people have the opportunity to get education, and will not be rejected by the palace of knowledge because of poverty. The chosen people of the god of knowledge once vowed to spend their lives promoting education throughout the continent and letting the light of knowledge shine on the earth.

That's what she said, and that's what she did.

In recent years, Gertenn has developed a variety of inexpensive stationery, and this ink cloth is one of them. Its price is of course much more expensive than ordinary cloth, and a roll of cloth and a pen add up to a silver coin. But after all, it's just a silver coin, and even poor people can scrape together this money to give their children the opportunity to touch words.

But in fact, the greater contribution of ink cloth is that it has brought many people into contact with painting.

This tool can be used not only for writing, but also for drawing. Writing may require a teacher's instruction, but drawing is not.

Therefore, in recent years, painting experts have emerged everywhere, and many teenagers have painted two strokes in their spare time, and many people have found that they still have a talent for painting, and then work hard in this direction and get the opportunity to improve.

The young adventurer who taught Raif to read was one of them. He was originally a soldier, but later came into contact with ink cloth occasionally, so he bought one. Originally, he wanted to learn to write, so he learned from the words on the notice. But soon he found that he was more talented at drawing than writing, especially when he drew the monsters he usually saw, it was even more simple and vivid, and he captured the characteristics of those monsters very well, making it clear at a glance.

With this talent, he made a lot of money drawing wooden boards for several villages to introduce common monsters. With money in hand, he doesn't want to continue to be a big soldier, in the words of the Internet on the earth - the world is so big, I want to see it.

He travels across the continent and soon arrives at the Void Mask Playground. In the playground, he attended a literacy class. Although it was only a short class for half a year, it also allowed him to bid farewell to his illiterate life and become a literate person.

Since then, he has become an adventurer, mainly near the Void Mask Playground.

The Void Mask Playground is a wonderful place, it is located on the border, and theoretically it is separated from everywhere except for Dragon Roar Town, which is rich in Warcraft materials. But in fact, it is the hub of high-end transportation on the entire continent, and through a huge portal system, it can be reached here in an instant from the capital of any country on the mainland, and then to the capital of another country in an instant. As long as your body and wallet can eat it, you won't even need it for ten minutes.

This makes this place a distribution center for many high-end goods, and also a place for many high-end adventurers to do their work. But anyone who can come here to buy things or recruit people is all rich in wealth. The teleportation fee is like a high threshold, turning away those merchants and employees who are not rich enough, creating a high-end market that shocks the mainland.

Now, there are the best restaurants, the best hotels, the best opera houses, the best leisure and entertainment venues in the world, and it is known as the Golden Cave. There are also carefully selected and creditworthy adventurers, who are popular with employers who really need reliable staff.

As for the most famous talents here, it is still the chef and the accountant. These two kinds of talents who came out of the technical school called "New Oriental" were sought after by various chambers of commerce and aristocrats on the mainland. A good chef can fill your restaurant to a full house, make your family happy at every meal, and greatly strengthen the cohesion of various organizations. A good accountant can greatly improve the level of profitability, reduce all kinds of meaningless waste and wrong expenses, and the effect is immediate.

It is said that at the entrance of the technical school, recruiters from all over the mainland live all year round, especially when the summer graduation season arrives. If it weren't for the fact that this technical school has god-like voters on weekdays, and even gods often come incarnation, they are afraid of rushing in and robbing people.

When it comes to technical schools, the young teachers' eyes are a little darker. Reif could see that the teacher was also eager to go to a technical school. But I don't know if he didn't get in, or if he didn't like being a chef or an accountant......

At the end of the day, the teacher was tired and his mouth was dry, and Raif and his wife were dizzy. But when it came time to rest, Raif couldn't sleep.

Lying on a makeshift bed covered with thick hay and a blanket, he looked up at the roof of the tent in the darkness and fell into deep thought.

In half a month, I will learn about one or two hundred commonly used words. This also requires a good enough memory, and I won't forget the previous one if I don't learn the latter. After learning so many words, I can barely be regarded as a little bit of culture, but what can I do with such a little culture?

When you need to sign it, you don't have to trouble the clerk and write "Raif" yourself?

When reading the poster, you don't need to bother the propagandist next to you to read it yourself?

Can you look at the street signs to know the direction and the road, so as not to get lost?

...... I don't think it's useful.

"Perhaps...... Should I learn more?"

"But what's the use of learning?"

"Do you want to be a chef or an accountant?"

"Whether it's a chef or an accountant, it's a good job. But can I really do it?"

"Maybe I can go to that 'literacy class' as long as I can pass the initial test, and it's very cheap." ”

"But even if I learn to read, what can I do?"

"Anyway, it's always good to read and write......

Thinking so, he tossed and turned in bed and gradually fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
