Chapter 253: The Basque Country
After saying that, Fen had a thought, and after a while, he asked: "You said that, does it mean that you lied before, but in fact, those four people still have descendants left?" ”
"How can you?" Lin hurriedly defended: "As far as I know about history, in the same era as you, all those who can die are dead, and no one is carrying the inheritance left by that era." There may be swaggers, but they can't afford to be verified. But if you look at the incident in Twilight Castle before, you can see an old subordinate of yours, hiding behind history, secretly developing his own power, and it seems that he is still developing quite soundly. So I can't guarantee that there will be another similar example again. After all, all I know is the history that has been made public, or some rural legends and poetry. If I'm also responsible for that kind of old thing that is hidden, it would be too wrong. ”
Squinting, staring at the man in front of him for a long time, Fen dismissed the intention of cross-examination. Reopen the window in the field of view of your glasses and get ready to continue the work you just halfway through.
However, the brown-skinned and black-haired girl was a little worried, and asked rarely, "Sister, are you ...... I don't want to die. As soon as Kaya spoke, the other girl became worried, and looked at a certain lich who didn't take her life or death seriously.
Finn was also a little surprised by such a question. But after thinking about it seriously, she said, "It's not like that." It's a lot better now than it was when I did. I would say I'm tired of being alive, mostly because of boredom. ”
That being said, the level of concern has increased. Harumi asked, "What about the remaining half?" ”
Fen felt a little distressed about the two girls who were anxious about their appearance, and really wanted to hold them in her arms and take good care of them. In order to appease them, and as if to convince herself again, Fen said:
"In the beginning, the reason I did it was because I wanted to get revenge on the old gods. In order to slaughter the gods, I borrowed the power of the Dominators; In order to sweep away the faith of the old gods and cut off their way to revival, I have built up a huge force and suppressed everything by all means. When I realized that faith was hard to eradicate, but could be replaced by something else, at first I chose the terror of the Dominator, and then myself. When hunting the Old Gods became a tasteless routine, I was as insensitive as the townsfolk who had been oppressed by vampires. It wasn't until the four young, bold little ones came to me that I realized that I had become the old gods I hated at the time, acting just like them, if not more terrible. Not only that, but the fact that those four people were able to appear in front of me unharmed also shows that the group of subordinates I lead are also looking forward to my death. Are they trying to replace me? Or is it revenge for what I have done to them? I don't care about any of that, I only know one thing, and that's that I'm tired. I asked the four young men to seal me away, for I didn't know how to meet my own death. As for the betrayers, what will become of the world has nothing to do with me. Then, I was resurrected. The only thing to be thankful for is that this era is much better than mine. Without the old gods, the wrongs I committed still have traces, but at least they don't last to this day. I was able to find knowledge that I didn't know yet, and there were goals worth pursuing, so it would be a shame to leave such a world again. ”
The confession of a certain lich made Lin Xin feel related. When I said that when I was on Earth, I played a business or strategy game, and I smashed the archive and deleted it, which is almost the same feeling. It's just that there is no directive in life, who can really start over?
However, this kind of thinking only exists before the crossing, the days when they have accepted their fate. Who would have thought that going through this big drama would fall on themselves. Do you want to continue to live as you do on Earth?
I believe that the lich has a similar idea, allowing four young people to dismember themselves and open their eyes again, it is already the world thousands of years later. This world does not have the baggage of the past, there is no heaviness of the past, and there is a chance to start again.
Listening to the sound of the carriage and the kicking of the horses' hooves, the four of them did not continue the conversation along the way. Maybe it's the subverted view of history that makes people confused, or maybe it's Fen's confession that makes people overwhelmed. In short, in the breeze, this sense of silence is quite enjoyable. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing, but their minds are ...... A piece of noise?
Damn, the existence in that container can easily affect everyone's minds. Except for the lich, Lin and the other three masters and apprentices were all in a mess. No! Perhaps the reason why Fen would talk more than usual also came from the influence of that.
It's better to arrive at Shanling City early. Make a better container and fold that thing tightly.
After the fifth camp, the Mountain Ridge Magic Tower appeared in everyone's field of vision. It was a four-story magic tower built on the ridge of a mountain, flanked by cliffs. The shape of the round tower is unremarkable, but it is also this shape that makes it well resistant to strong winds from high places.
Such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain made the last demon king army pass through here, not only being attacked by the condescending magic tower, but also helpless against it.
Then the pursuing rebels relied on this terrain to establish a solid bridgehead. A steady stream of military supplies was delivered here, causing the rebels and the Demon King Army to fight for a mountain, a mountain, and a basin, and finally wipe them out.
The mountain below the round tower has several rows of wooden tracks, which are the elevator tracks that connect the mountain, the mountainside, and the magic tower. The basin within the Sanling City is not the largest in the Basque Country, but it is definitely one of the earliest and best places to be developed.
The reason, of course, is that in order to fight against the Demon King Legion, the entire mountain was transformed into a huge natural fortress by the dwarves, and all the rebel troops stationed here were gathered. In order to transport supplies, even though the mountains are endless, a road for carriages and horses has been opened, making the tower an important transportation hub in the Basque Country.
In addition, the mountain ridge tower has the dual functions of lookout and large-scale attack of strategic magic, so that the Demon King Legion, which has attempted to surprise the rebel position several times, has not only returned with a feather, but also suffered heavy losses. Such a record, the sense of security protected by the magic tower, has also become a reason for crowds to gather, especially a large number of magicians.
When the Wizards' Guild demarcated the Basque Country and decided on the headquarters of the Guild, the Ridge Tower was naturally the only choice on everyone's minds.
Hundreds of years have passed since the war, and even though the war in Middle-earth has raged, it has not affected this frontier region in the eyes of most Homo sapiens. It kept accommodating people who had fled here, competing for land with the monsters and beasts in the mountains, and developing basins everywhere to form today's scale.
The fortress that originally housed the army also became a living area. Of course, it is not ordinary people who will stay here, but magicians, and the family that originally came here to establish and maintain Shanling City.
But the fortress, which could have accommodated hundreds of thousands of people, was certainly not able to cram the same number of people after it was transformed into a life tendency. In particular, the space inside the mountain was originally intended for the purpose of a military fortress, and of course, there are many inhuman aspects in terms of comfort and convenience. Therefore, the plain at the foot of the mountain has also become a gathering place for people.
Over the past few hundred years, the city has been shaped by man-made structures from the foot of the mountain to the ridge line. From a distance, the city looks like a staircase, developing upwards step by step, which is very spectacular.
It is completely different from the Wulian City in Xijia District, where the city has been expanding due to commercial development and has been reduced to a decorative city wall. In the Basque Country, there is a threat of monsters, so in order to protect the people, the walls of the city are quite tall and strong. In particular, there are three three-story magic towers along the line, which divide the walls into four sections.
This is because there has been a time when a king-level Warcraft tried to attack the city. Because of the sudden attack, and the fact that the edge of the forest is quite close to Shanling City, even though it is protected by a magic tower, the gathering place in the plains still suffers heavy casualties.
As for burning forests or something, unless there are a few mountains directly, the distance of a few tens (kilometers) is only a few steps for the king-level demonic beasts, which is meaningless. Even if the Mountain Ridge Tower can give early warning, the reaction speed is not comparable to the mobility of the king-level demonic beast.
This threat caused the local magicians to use the magic tower as part of the defense system, and built three of them.
There is a value to the cost. The king-level demonic beast that eats the marrow and knows the taste was killed here in a later attack. The Homo sapiens side had a carnival. Then there were several waves of Warcraft impact, and gradually, there was no such thing as Warcraft attacking the city.
With the city walls, it is natural that there will be defenses. Visas and passports are now required to travel between different countries on Earth. Even within some countries, special permits are required for movement between different administrative regions. In Midi, there are similar restrictions on people's movements. And this restriction is also one of the reasons why many adventure groups and mercenary groups rarely move across regions.
In order to avoid trouble, most people choose unguarded towns or villages as a resting place for their trip. These places usually only pay tolls and do not check their identity.
As a last resort, most cities only need documents to identify themselves, except for some cities that do not welcome visitors and require special permission. Then pay a fee to enter the city.
The city under the jurisdiction of a mage is even simpler, as long as you prove that you are a mage, you can usually travel unhindered. Of course, an entrance fee is also indispensable. And wherever you go, you abide by the local rules, which is the same whether it is the earth or the mysterious land.
So after seeing Shanling City, Lin and the others took out the magician's small shawl and put it on themselves. This is the easiest way to distinguish the identity of a magician. Not only is there a mark of the division on the back, but there is also a mage's personal coat of arms on the shoulder, if any.
