Chapter 7: Hope City

Hopburg, the original owner of the castle was called Hope, he gave his life for Hopburg, which was only a village at the time, and people named the place after him in his honor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, Fort Hope, also known as Hope City, is a fortress that is blessed with a unique geography that makes it difficult for monsters to take over. The vast fertile land, the mountains and grasslands with natural hazards, and more importantly, the prosperity of the construction in the city, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, can be called a city in this dark age.

Hopburg has experienced many disasters, and was slaughtered by one of the strongest warriors of the Desperate Realm some time ago. Fortunately, not all of them died, but only a few hundred residents of the area. Although she was a little injured, she quickly recovered and quickly returned to a place full of hope. Hope, which also means hope.

It seems that many people here name their children Hope, such as Zhang Hope, and there are four other people in the hunting team who are also named Hope. Hope surnamed Huo, Hope surnamed Liu, Hope surnamed Song, and Hope surnamed Zhou.

Following the hunting party through layers of trap-riddled paths, Liu Jiu saw the gates of Hopburg.

Hope City is large, but the gate is so small that only one carriage can pass through at a time. This is also easy to defend, in addition to the thorny walls of this place, which is the land that people cannot stand on, there are many beasts that are not afraid of viruses after mutation.

These beasts are not magical beasts, they have no magical powers, but the evolutionary mechanics of the creatures also make them larger and more dangerous. These beasts will even kill zombies, and the scavengers among them will eat the carrion, and the strong digestion and resistance make the residents here not worry about whether these beasts will become zombies because of eating zombie meat.

Humans are obviously very fond of these beasts, not only to help them destroy zombies, but also to be used by humans as meat, bringing the joy of hunting to those who are born warriors.

Some scholars have even suggested that if wild beasts are allowed to multiply, zombies may become extinct in the next few hundred to thousands of years. Of course, that could also pose another problem, which is that there are such huge and ferocious beasts everywhere, and it is still difficult for humans to survive, and these beasts are more difficult to deal with than zombies.

After all, a wild boar requires at least a dozen strong warriors to hunt it.

Fortunately, the dog is still loyal, and the hunting dog has become larger, making people more trusting.

After passing through the gate of Hope City, Liu Jiu's eyes lit up. I've been here before, but now, this place is completely different from what it used to be.

The stone buildings are in the style of the European Middle Ages in the TV series, and there are various stalls selling goods on both sides of the road. There are their home-brewed wines, homemade jerky and blacksmiths' blades and arrows.

Liu Jiu jumped out of the carriage and said goodbye to the people of the hunting team. Zhang Hope threw him a piece of jerky when he passed by, took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Enjoy the time here, this kind of jerky is sold in my mother's stall, plus the delicacy of herbs, it tastes good and can relieve pain, if you like it, remember to find Zhang's jerky shop." ”

His voice was loud, as if he was deliberately advertising himself again, which made Liu Jiu embarrassed.

I tasted the jerky in my hand, and the taste was indeed wonderful, like the kind of Jingjiang pork jerky I used to eat, but the taste of this jerky was a little better. Moreover, it does have a special effect, and the pain-relieving effect is uncertain, but what is certain is that this jerky makes the body feel very comfortable to eat.

I don't know what the currency here is, Liu Jiu walked in the crowd and observed.

They bartered things for food, exchanged food for food, exchanged treasures and anyone who was interested in treasures. Liu Jiu even saw people bartering people, it seems that some people who have no capital and can't barter things will exchange themselves for themselves and sell themselves in exchange for food, shelter and goods.

To be honest, Liu Jiu didn't feel much about slavery. After all, before the Dark Ages, slaves were everywhere.

Eventually, he also came to the conclusion that Jumbo was a universal currency. If you don't have treasures, you need a little utility, and novelty gadgets are fine, but novelty gadgets are not as valuable here as those practical goods.

Fortunately, human beings are irresistible to the charm of treasures.

Found the legendary Zhang's jerky shop, he pinched out a ruby from the air as if by magic. It's a pity, but it's not ......

Hope's mother didn't know rubies, and she couldn't tell if they were gems or glass, which was not worth much. Beautiful glass ornaments may be worth enough for the rich to spend gold, but for civilians, a small piece of glass is not worth much.

In desperation, he took out a beautiful and sharp dagger in exchange for a large bag of jerky.

Zhang's mother wanted to give the dagger to Zhang Hope to use, the more she looked at it, the more she liked this dagger, and when she loaded the jerky for Liu Jiu, she also introduced: "My jerky here is added with special herbs, home-grown, with the effect of pain relief and antibiotics, and it is the most suitable for going out to perform tasks." Those hunting parties, soldiers who go out on patrol, will come to me to buy before they go out, and my jerky is much better than simple medicine. ”

"Other jerky shops also use herbs, but the amount they put in is not as large as mine, and the effect is not as good as mine. ”

Liu Jiu responded with a smile, and by the way, asked where to buy a house here, and asked what to pay attention to in Hope City.

After getting the jerky and information, Liu Jiu walked towards the pawn. There are more well-informed people there, and they can get gold and silver, and the prices of treasures are different, and it is difficult to say whether they lose money or make money, so the pawn shop got silver.

And silver, which can be exchanged for a lot of good things in pawn shops. Although it is not a currency, many people also like to use it, because with silver or gold, you can come here in exchange for treasures mortgaged by others.

Liu Jiu took out a big bag of rubies at one time, and there were all kinds of minerals in the Rubik's Cube space, gold, silver, and gemstones. And he loves gemstones, so he just got some gems out and took them with him.

The pawnbroker found the old man, and the old man was overjoyed after identification. "It's so timely that you sent it, just in time for the great master to make a family heirloom with all kinds of treasures, and we have a headache, these rubies are just in time. ”

The old man asked Liu Jiu, "Guest, what do you need to exchange these gems for?"

Liu Jiu replied simply: "I need a house, a house with everything, a bow and arrows and weapons." As he spoke, he threw out another bag of gold coins. "Help me get my passes, I like to go out hunting. (To be continued.) )
