Chapter 2: The Age of the City-States in the Fantasy World
Aarons leaned and threw the package he was carrying on the ground.
Splashed up a large cloud of dust.
I don't know if it's because the rules of this world are suppressed after the crossing, or if the skill is out of the blue star without the big source supplement, the cooldown time of each use is greatly extended.
According to the novel, the rules of different worlds are incompatible, so there is law suppression.
For example, if you make a backpack with a simple piece of cloth, you can't shrink it even if you make clothes from the same fabric, but you can reduce the size and weight of the items it contains as long as you make it into a backpack.
Space backpack! In other worlds, it is the standard configuration of various crossing protagonists
In this world it's a bargain for two or three barrels of beer in a tavern.
To put it bluntly, this is an ordinary piece of cloth with a mysterious magic attached to it.
When the magic power dissipates, the cloth loses its magical power and turns back into ordinary cloth.
After some inquiry, Liu Alun learned from some old hunters that this thing was related to the lord's wife, Amsu. Syrian Hall.
Many years ago, there were no similar items in the territory.
These magical pockets came into existence when the lord's wife got married.
As for how to make it, it is not something that the low-level civilians of Alan Lau can know.
Compared with his previous life when he was born and educated, Liu Alun hates the city-state he lives in.
As a magical world, the food is enough to support thousands of people with the power of one person, but because of the artificial oppression of the ruler, ordinary people are not guaranteed.
For example, his own lord Charles waged several years of war against the city-state next door because of a glass of wine at the banquet, and he thought that his glass of wine was 1/10 more than other guests, and the wine in front of him was 1/10, which was the taunt and provocation of the big lord next door to him, and wanted the other party to apologize to him, but the other party was unwilling.
In short, because of this idiotic matter, after the kingdom mediated, the two sides sent armies to fight, and the right or wrong of this matter was decided by victory or defeat.
Especially the body that this world has taken away by itself, and it is only a civilian wage earner who is better than a slave, and it is compulsory to join the army to start a war.
The era of the city-state as slavery.
The status of civilians is only in the absence of civilized savages.
Above the exiles of the descendants of slaves and criminals.
Of course, in the public perception of this world, savages need to be excluded.
Because a wild man is not a man, he is an ugly-looking man-eating beast that hunts with a stone spear.
Liu Aaron also agreed after understanding, the reason why they are called people is that they look like people, and there is no reproductive isolation between them and people, since they like to catch lonely people to breed in the past
Liu Aaron even suspected that these wild men were not human beings at first, but beasts of unknown strange species, and gradually became human beings through bloodline plunder.
That's why it retains the habit of cannibalism while reproducing.
If these savages are a naturally evolved species, they are primitive people.
According to history and myths and legends, the people I crossed were created by God.
Considering that there is magic in this world, Aaron Lau feels that Prometheus's myth of creating people is very likely to be true.
This body of his own is created by God, and it will be as strong as a monster.
The stone tooth of several meters in size that made the pyramid in the previous life, this body is like moving a slightly larger brick.
The group of savages, half-humans, and natural people who had to work hard to move 200 pounds of stones, compared to them.
Savages are inferior to slaves because, like the goblins that are prevalent in the magical world, they have bad habits and have their own class that is difficult to domesticate.
The class to which Liu Aaron's body belongs is called a commoner, which is one level higher than a slave who cannot live and die.
The source is the second son who did not inherit the family property, the illegitimate child, and the slave who was freed.
Responsible for the production of the territory, engaged in various chores to make a living while ensuring the operation of the territory.
Somewhat similar to a free servant, the master is a territory, no one manages it, and only nominally loyal to the lord.
The next level of identity is called - farmer.
These people were called peasants, but Liu felt that they should be called more of a landlord class.
These people own their own legal land, live in abundance, and live on their land an unknown number of slaves who help with the farming.
Because the ancestors were the descendants of the knights of the territorial officials, and even had the right to train the militia with arms.
He laboriously rummaged through his magic cloth bag and found his bow and spear to hang on his body.
Liu Aaron restored himself to the appearance he had when he first came out of the village to hunt,
After all, a hunter has to look like a hunter.
If you are too high-profile and are suspected of getting some treasures, you will have some trouble.
In any world, there will be people who can't see the good things of others.
Especially in the Middle Ages, when this civilization was not civilized, when reporting others, catching other people's mistakes and rewarding meritorious deeds, you should not overestimate the moral level of others.
If there is any suspicion of the regiment responsible for guarding, the guards will be directly sent to arrest the suspected target.
Guards who want to make extra money will never be disgusted by having a new prisoner in the dungeon to test various torture instruments.
It's my own credit to ask what to ask.
If you don't ask questions, it has no impact on you, and you can make extra money.
This kind of thing has happened too much in the few months that Aaron Lau has traveled.
I heard that the soldiers sent by the lord took them to inquire about at least a few dozen people, and then only a few people came back, and they were still people with small assets in the family.
According to Alan Liu's observations during this time, it seems that this era of city-states is particularly popular to mix sand into the other party's territory.
In order to prevent hunters from being bought, the lord was very strict with those who entered and left the forest.
From the perspective of an outsider who is beyond this world, Liu Aaron sees that finding spies is only secondary, and preventing hunters from gaining anything in the forest is the main purpose.
It seems that the dangerous Black Forest is really a big treasure, and those who enter the forest can find something from it, and then hide it privately.
In the magic package, find the iron clamp that arranges the trap, and other messy things, and hang them back on his body like a small pendant.
This is the habit of all local hunters, because the per capita strength of this world is far greater than in previous lives, and these beast traps do not feel heavy and laborious to wear.
The heavy trap and the short, right-for-right chain can be thrown out as a hidden weapon, the meteor hammer, which is the fastest ranged weapon for hunters.
"Aarens, Aarens, did you bring me the seed I wanted?"
Liu Aaron looked for prestige, and in the grass with flowers blooming not far away, a beautiful butterfly the size of a fist sandwiched a flower and flew straight towards him.
"Miss Anna, I have completed your commission!" Liu Aaron responded as he poured out a dozen seeds from the small bag around his waist and put them on the ground.
Then the butterfly immediately flew over and flew up and down around the seed as if it was being inspected.
After checking it out, the flower butterfly said in a childish girlish voice: "Very good, bad hunter, this is your reward!" ”
Then the butterfly flew to Aaron Lau and left the flower bone.
Liu Aaron hurriedly reached out to catch it, feeling the heavy flower bones in his hand.
Liu Aaron is also very satisfied with his remuneration this time.
This butterfly is not a butterfly, but a fairy tale flower fairy with butterfly wings and a human-like appearance.
According to this flower elf, each flower elf needs to participate in the kingdom of the elves, a costume contest held once every thirty years, and these costumes are sacrificed to their queen.
Because she overslept, the time was almost up when she reacted.
In order to make the right clothes, you need to collect various seeds and grow flowers and plants as raw materials.
There are so many things that need to be done to make blueprints based on materials and make clothes by hand.
Therefore, the task of collecting materials was entrusted to Liu Aaron.
This flower bone is stored in something called elven nectar.
The nectar made by the flower spirits, stored in the flowers, is naturally brewed like wine.
These flower elves seem to have this nectar as a kind of food and drink, which can restore mental power for humans.
After actual testing, Aaron Lau feels that the effect of this thing should not be classified as restoring the spirit.
It's an alternative smart drug, the Elixir in Harry Potter.
Because drinking elf nectar, there will be a subsidiary effect before it is completely digested, and when the mental power is restored, because the mental power is greatly increased, there will be an effect of accelerating thinking, comprehension, and thinking ability, and you can also recall various details of your previous experience.
In the previous life, it was mixed with water to buy, and it could also be sold crazy among that group of parents.
I wanted to have a few words with this friend from another world as usual, so as to learn about the outside world and all kinds of mysterious rumors.
found that the other party hurriedly took the seeds placed on the ground, and disappeared into the grass on the side of the road in a blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the butterfly, which should have been incomparably conspicuous, disappeared into thin air.
Liu Aaron shook his head and packed his bags, "I'm really anxious!" It's like a scumbag rushing to do homework at the end of the summer vacation, and it seems that the competition is about to start. ”
Aaron Lau has always been curious about what the flower elves in this world look like.
Isn't it a pretty flower fairy that often appears in fairy tales.
However, it's a pity.
According to the other party, they have a kind of confusion magic in them.
Only people of pure heart or children can see them as they really are.
As for Aaron Liu, whose heart is not pure, and is not a child.
How to get to know each other.
That's a little embarrassing.
It is known that the dense grass on the side of the road is a natural public toilet.
This task entruster came and went in a hurry.
Liu Aaron turned his attention back to himself again: "Well, after dressing up, you can go back to rest." ”
As soon as his mind moved, Aaron Lau only felt that a force was draining out of his body, and the final destination was the pocket of his clothes.
Liu reached out and took out a mini take-out box the size of a mobile phone case from his pocket, and then opened a small mirror the size of a playing card.
『Occupation: Almighty takeaway brother (☆☆☆☆)〗
『Vocational skills☆☆: Be prepared』
『Be prepared: Prepare well to be prepared, a competent takeaway brother will basically be busy all day in order to deliver food. 〗
You never know how many kinds of things they can prepare for emergencies, which you can think of or you can't think of. 〗
Skill Effect: Consume 2 units of skill energy to open a mysterious takeaway box and take out things related to the takeaway business. 〗
Take-out box storage list: flashlight, umbrella, raincoat, wolf-proof, electric rod, abacus computer, mahjong table, power bank, data cable, glider, inflatable yacht, bicycle, horse, disposable chopsticks, instant noodles, banlan root powder, 666 cold 。。。。。。 〗
Liu Aaron shook his head with a small mirror and looked at his current appearance.
His face was ruddy and sleepy-eyed, and he looked like he had just woken up.
This is normal.
After all, the takeaway brother's ☆ skill "On-time Delivery" is similar to the automatic running skill with the sixth sense and body control.
Temporary Skill: Make-up
『Occupation: Almighty takeaway brother☆☆☆☆〗
『Vocational Skills☆☆☆: Versatile』
Versatile: You can never know how many skills the delivery guy has! Only you can't think of it, there's nothing they can't do. 〗
Effect: Consumes three units of energy to load a temporary skill. 〗
With makeup skills, Aaron Liu sketched a makeup plan in his mind without thinking.
From the bladder to a little water in the palm of your hand, then use this water to scratch the reddish-brown hair on the head.
"Skills are ready to be activated."
Liu Aaron took out a makeup box from the grass again, took out the makeup pen, and performed makeup magic on himself.
Then he grabbed some fine dust from the ground and smeared it on his face and clothes, and then grabbed a handful of grass to pinch out the grass juice and apply it to his clothes.
Looking at it with a small mirror again, Liu Aaron nodded with satisfaction not only with his current image.
His hair was wet with sweat, his face was haggard, and he looked extremely tired.
It was covered in dust and the juice of unknown plants.
The appearance of other hunters in the territory in my memory is simply carved out of a mold.
"Okay"
Liu Aaron was satisfied with the big cloth bag on his back and walked along the road that had been trampled out of the town.
Every time you use the various abilities that the delivery boy profession has.
Liu Aaron feels that his choice is right, sand sculpture netizens have a wide range of ideas, and the career he chose to help him choose really has extraordinary potential.
In the public perception, the takeaway brother is omnipotent, and then uses the illusory as nutrients to breed skills.
All of them are derived from the logic of the concept of "omnipotent", which is recognized by the public.
The punctual delivery of one star, the sixth sense of unpredictable prophet and instinctive reaction,
Create things in the void, gain knowledge that you have never been exposed to before, and integrate them.
You can even do something that doesn't follow objective rules like anime characters.
It's a bit of a pity. The previous life plan was originally intended to make this skill grow and develop to a true omnipotence like Doraemon.
Now it's no longer a chance.
Because I left Blue Star, which has a huge mass base, in this world without delivery people.
The stalk and concept of the almighty takeaway brother is only known to Aaron Lau in this world, just like believing in gods and gods has only one believer.
And then it did.
Aaron Liu's hard-working main profession "takeaway brother" is obviously only one step away from the birth of a five-star ability.
This step cannot be crossed.
And I don't know if it's the reason for leaving that world.
It's like the magic net mage broke away from the magic net, and Liu Aaron's superpower couldn't be connected, and everyone's belief in the takeaway brother.
Even the takeaway brother = "omnipotent", this logic is also a bit shaky with the use of skills.
Every time he uses a skill, Aaron Lau has a skill that has become a source of water, and his own use is consuming the feeling accumulated in the past.
Alan Lau is not unwarranted speculation, there is evidence.
Every time you use a skill, it is a shock to the class, and it takes a short time for the logical concept to recover before it is stable enough to continue to use it.
Assuming that this regeneration cooldown is converted to the amount of skill blue, one star is equal to 1 unit of skill bluebar.
Obtain two-star skills, and when you get the professional skills, you will become more stable and get two units of skill blue bars.
And so on for the four-star takeaway profession, the stability is improved with ah, and finally it has 1+2+4+8≈15∽16 grid energy.
It only takes a few tens of seconds to recover one block of energy, and one or two star temporary skills can be used casually, and the recovery is always greater than the consumption.
Now these skills have become skills that consume blue light as long as they are used, and in special cases, they will even increase the consumption instantly.
Now Liu Aaron has to be careful every time he uses his skills, for fear of encountering an accident and fighting until the blue amount is used up.
In order to adapt to the world's great sources, give full play to their own advantages.
Therefore, Alan Lau chose to open up sources and reduce expenditure in this world.
Engaged hunters.
Then touch the ancient profession of porcelain hunters, so as to obtain the conceptual logic of this profession for countless thousands of years.
The secondary goal, Alan Liu, intends to obtain the extraordinary power of this world.
The acquisition of power in this world is easy to say, but difficult to say.
The territory is clearly marked with a price of 10,000 merits, and you can start an extraordinary baptism ceremony, and you will become a master from then on.
As a hunter, every time you go out, you can get a little capital preservation and collect materials, and it will be counted as a meritorious reward.
Of course, this is a slow method, and there are fast ones.
That's what people in this world often do when they want to gain supernatural abilities.
Fight from start to finish in a medieval war with extraordinary powers.
100 meritorious services when you come back alive, and 1,000 meritorious services can be shared equally among the family members when you die, and the merits will be counted separately.
Aaron Lau went to the battlefield to mix 100 times.
Well, this one is a bit harder.
You can also learn from your neighbors, marry a woman and have children, and then hide the age of the children and let them go to war, as long as you work hard to give birth to twenty children, and the children die in large numbers, and the merit will be easily enough.
To this barbaric and bloody practice.
Liu Aaron only felt chilled in his previous life, he only heard that parents paved the way for their children's future, but he didn't expect that people in this world would be so ruthless that they would do things that made their blood pressure soar.
For example, a village built for peace, but let graduated ninja children go to the battlefield and exchange the lives of children for the peace of adults.
Ridiculous peace, other shadows lead the team on the march.
A certain three generations and old friends sit in the rear, fight against enemies thousands of miles away, and then train even better young people, such as "people" who destroy their whole family for the peace of the village.
After walking ahead for more than half an hour, Liu Aaron came to a neat farmland.
Liu Alan squinted his eyes and put his hands on the pergola, and his eyes passed through the farmland.
Looking at the smoke-filled town at the end of the line of sight, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh, I'm finally back."
Even if there are various professional equipment in the previous life, the adventurer who goes to the wilderness to wander around is also a dangerous profession.
Not to mention the mysterious Western medieval world he travels through, far away from the inhabited wilderness.
In the memory of the predecessor Aarens, the tiger, a carnivore known for its solitary life in the previous life, actually became a group animal.
It is called the Siberian cat, and the name of the tiger is given to another cat that is much larger.
Once the top carnivores have mixed in, the dangers of the jungle are visible.
Seeing the crowd also means that I have returned.
Putel Collar, which can be called Charles City.
One of the three most important noble realms of the Kingdom of Green.
In addition to the development of military power, the royal capital belonged to the royal family, and the development of trade by the sea was another great nobleman.
Putel was a fiefdom that supplied food and scarce resources throughout the kingdom.
A huge amount of resources are continuously delivered from here to the entire Grimm country.
Because the lord managed a cornucopia, the half-deserted operation caused a great waste of manpower and material resources.
Of course, this is the opinion of Alan Liu, who comes from a person who travels through modern society.
In the eyes of the locals, this territory is beautiful and rich.
Perhaps Aarensis is in the midst of blessings and does not know how many outcasts who have volunteered to be slaves, and they want to enter this territory.
Even if there is no shelter from the wind and rain, even if the ruler is greedy and cruel, those outcasts still want to enter this territory.
Because this territory can provide two of the most important things in the world.
Safety & Food.
In terms of security, the walls can defend against wild beasts from the outside world, as well as all kinds of strange poisonous insects.
On the other hand, the city has quite a lot of magical powers.
According to the memory of the predecessor Aarens, within the city limits.
If there is an act of killing, the killer will have his skin explode and turn into a giant-like muscular monster with a huge height.
Because the changes in appearance and body shape are too obvious, as long as the crime of murder is committed, the people around will immediately find out.
This phenomenon is known in this world as the Bloody Curse.
In the memory of the predecessor Aarens.
This phenomenon seems to have something to do with a god in this world, the god of the city-state, who made the act of killing people as a sacrifice to him.
Then the murderer was blessed by that God.
In addition to this, there is another section in the territory, and there is a blessing or curse for stealing.
Those who steal in the territory will become more slender and short, losing their facial features and flesh, and as the stealing continues, they will eventually become dwarfs with only skin and bones left.
A similar magical and spooky phenomenon.
There are many more in this world, and in legends, these are related to such and such a god.
Those who are converted are called dependents of God so-and-so.
As for the food provided by this territory, how can it sustain the entire kingdom?
It is also related to some mysterious power.
Aaron Liu can use the very qualified feudal ruler of the landlord - Charles Puttle.
He swore by the ashes of his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Even a modern person who thinks he has read countless novels has seen all kinds of world settings.
I don't really admire this strange world that looks like the Western Middle Ages, it's really magical.
There is an incredible specialty in this forest called "The Gods of Nature and Reproduction." 》
It was a magical plant that looked like a wheat seedling and a pasture, and if the grass was crushed and scattered in the field, ordinary ears of wheat could grow as big as corn, and a plant with many fruiting ears would look like leeks.
With a yield of 8,800 per mu, Jin Kela has no face in front of this magic plant.
In addition to plants, this grass can also act on animals, and cattle, sheep and other poultry can eat this grass as long as it is a grazing animal.
It reproduces like an applied replication technique, and can be mass-produced in just a few weeks.
Rabbits in the wild, which are already good at breeding, eat this grass, and after that, it is no longer a litter that produces much.
It's a reproduction that happens every few minutes.
The bred rabbits also begin to grow like inflatable balls and mate to join the breeding army.
One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen, and then raises ferocious beasts that are more than bugs.
It is worth mentioning that humans can also eat grass and have children.
Humans conceived in October.
After eating this magic plant, the process of giving birth to a child is like turning on an accelerator, from the very beginning of pregnancy to giving birth, the child grows to run around, but it is only the time of the month, and it is also because of this that the population will become an ordinary resource.
It's just that this grass is poisonous to people, it will destroy the mother's body, and after giving birth to a child, it is difficult for the mother to live, so it can only be taken in small quantities and many times, and it is not whole, and the magical operation of several children a day.
Alan Liu's big backpack is full of this kind of grass.
The resources collected by these civilians are also taxes.
