Chapter 254: Mountain Ridge City

The small shawls of both girls have two silver spike lines at the neckline, and behind them is the shield-shaped maze pattern of the Xijia District Church. As for the apprentice's upper arm, there should be the coat of arms of his teacher to prove that he belongs. Of course, if the teacher doesn't have a personal coat of arms, it's not uncommon for a blank space.

Harumi and Kaya's upper arms were empty. But it's not that Lin didn't design a coat of arms for himself, it's that the girls are too ugly, so they don't want to use it.

This kind of apprenticeship is not mandatory. Clearly came out in order to prove who his backer was unwilling to show up, sometimes because there were too many enemies as a teacher, so in order to avoid trouble, he concealed this relationship.

As for someone's disgusted personal mark, it's a bit-pixel-style image of a three-headed monkey. In fact, the name he used in the Madland, and the image of the monkey with three heads, were derived from a computer game in the early days of Earth.

And I used this name because when I first met the magician who was kind to me, the one introduced himself: "Good day, I'm Charlie Richard." ”

Somebody's first thought at the time was that if you were Richard, then I would be Gaybrash. And then the name used in the fascination was decided

Although I didn't have a chance to say that classic line, PR, after all, the profession is different. However, using three monkeys as his own mark can be regarded as making up for his feelings.

Compared to Lin's small shawl, which only has one golden spike line, the two gold spike lines at Fen's neckline are a little dazzling. Generally speaking, the identity of the Grand Magician is not necessarily recognized across regions. And to be recognized as a great magician, there must be corresponding merits. In addition to the great credit you have done can be passed on to a new area, it is also to do something in a new place that is enough to be recognized.

Therefore, before being recognized by the new district council, most archmages will untie a golden spike line after crossing the district to show respect.

However, some magicians with more flamboyant personalities will also appear in areas he has not visited or have not yet been acknowledged. In addition to showing that he also has the confidence to become the great magician of the district, it is also more or less provocative.

Fen was still tied to two golden spike threads, and did not remove one of them. Lin estimated that the former demon king didn't know that he had such a habit. In other words, even if you know, you don't care.

However, Lin knew this, and he didn't plan to remind him. On the one hand, I hope that Fen's identity as a great magician can shake the field, and as a lich and a demon king who created the Dark Age, Fen should be fine with a great magician, not to mention mixing with a great magician. ,

It's just that her own reputation is not good enough, and when it comes to the demon king Tikal, she is notorious. In order to be recognized as a Dharma saint, the spread of reputation is also a very important indicator. So in a second-place retreat, Lin thought that it was a matter of course for a lich to get the status of a great magician. He didn't stop Fen from tying two golden spike threads and appearing in front of everyone in Shanling City.

Compared to the cities managed by the nobles, the magicians managed them less rigorously in terms of defense. Therefore, the speed of passing through is quite fast, and basically the soldiers guarding the gate look at the gate and want to enter the door, and collect taxes according to the capitation, and if there are goods, they are taxed according to the car. Of course, the goods here are not the ones that the owner intends to sell, or like Lin and the others, they are all the money they have been carried with.

The two girls on their horses dismounted, and this was the rule for entering the city gates. You don't have to get out of the car if you drive, as long as someone is in charge of the soldiers. Halumi took the initiative to take over the job and dealt with the soldiers with great skill.

Most of the soldiers guarding the gates were ordinary warriors, even though it was a city of magicians. If there is a magician guarding the gates, it usually means that something big is about to happen, or has already happened.

And a group of ordinary warriors are not very difficult for people above the magic apprentice. Especially the soldiers on routine inspection, when they saw the beautiful women sitting lazily on the back car with two golden spike threads tied to their chests, a group of soldiers after collecting the entrance tax, but lined up to welcome the group into the city, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

As for the cost of entering the city, it varies from city to city, but there will be a notice board erected at the customs office, specifying the number of people and cars. Because there were stingy magicians or warriors with strong martial arts, claiming that the soldiers of the customs defense sat on the ground and did not want to be pitted, so they relied on the pass. In order to avoid such a dispute, there is such a compromise, after all, it is impossible to let the great magician guard the door.

However, when paying the tax, Halumi still grabbed an extra handful of Danba copper coins, gave them to the soldiers guarding the door, and asked, "Do you have any comfortable inns to recommend?" ”

Newcomers ask about some of the unclassified locations in Shanling City, which can be regarded as extra money. Therefore, the soldier who collected the tax was not pretentious, and after taking a few of them, he passed the rest to the other companions, and replied with a smile: "Follow the road to the city gate, and turn right at the second junction, and the song of the dove will warmly entertain all friends from other places." ”

"Thank you." After a polite salute, Harumi led the horse into the gate.

Shanling City is the first city that Lin and others have entered since they crossed the Doomsday Mountain Range, and it is also the most lively one. But for the people who are used to seeing the excitement of Wulian City, they always feel that the prosperous scene of Shanling City is still a little worse.

Pedestrians on the road could easily identify themselves, and the swaggering in the middle of the road must be a magician, and a small group of magic apprentices. As for the ordinary people who live in Shanling City, and most of the magic apprentices, they cowered and walked on both sides of the road.

This kind of class difference is like the Wulian City where Lin first lived when he came to Midi. In the realm of magicians, if you don't have a formal status, you're like a second-class person. And those apprentices who dare to compete with formal magicians, most of them are the kind of people who are strong enough and have quite high talents themselves.

There's nothing wrong with that. In a world that values personal greatness, the scene in Shanling City is the norm in the world of Lost Land. And the anomaly in Wulian City is because of the vigorous commerce, so that the mages have to rely on ordinary people who are far more numerous than magicians in many things, which makes the people of the two classes slightly closer to each other.

Of course, there is also a situation where the apprentice dares to walk in the middle of the road, like Harumi and Kaya now, in the service of the magician. Harumi led a horse on each hand, while Kaya followed the carriage with a horse and a mule. Lin, on the other hand, drove slowly towards the place the girl asked.

Along the way, Lin and the others attracted everyone's attention. This is not surprising. On the one hand, there are a car of magicians from outside the Basque Country, which is not a common sight. On the other hand, there is Fenna's stunning beauty, her status as a great magician from other places, and the colorful magical objects around her. In all of them stimulate people's primitive n greed.

The reason why no one rashly made a move, Fenna still played a big role in the great chest, and the two golden spike threads.

It is true that the great magicians recognized in other regions do not have the same treatment and recognition in their local communities. However, the intention of this rule is only to be afraid that the parallel goods recognized in other regions will make people who are not familiar with the magician be misled by it and misjudge the strength.

If you are going to perform some difficult tasks, the slightest miscalculation can cause huge losses.

But this definitely does not mean that people who are not recognized as great magicians in the local area are all objects that can be bullied by anyone who is so watery. If someone had to be recognized locally for his exploits as a great magician, no one would have much opinion. No outsiders are allowed to bully locals, so local concepts such as locals uniting do not exist in the world of mages who are lost.

Therefore, even if they noticed this group of newcomers from other places, they were also moved by the wealth they revealed, but the land snakes in Shanling City just mobilized their own forces to find out the details of this group of people. And on this unknown undercurrent, Lin and the others successfully found the song of the hotel pigeon introduced by the gatekeeper.

The soldier guarding the gate was accustomed to all kinds of people, and he knew very well what the needs of the questioner were, and gave the most appropriate answer. The Song of the Dove was provided to the inns used by the caravanserais, not to the adventurers in general. The main difference is that the former requires a warehouse for parking vehicles, while the latter only needs a place to rest and eat.

The Song of the Doves is an inn run by a half-elf couple. Most of the people who help in it are half-elves. And judging by the characteristics, the other half of their bloodlines are not necessarily from humans. So it has nothing to do with the traditional impression of elves, what kind of handsomeness or something.

This is also a place that Lin does not understand in the world of the lost land. According to the biological knowledge of the earth, there will be reproductive isolation between different races, that is, they will not be able to reproduce with each other. Or the occasional hybrid will lose the ability to reproduce. Human-frequented creatures such as mules and ligres.

But there seems to be no such restriction between the Homo sapiens species in the Lost Land. Between humans and elves, between humans and half-orcs, between orcs, between dwarves and goblins, and between goblins and elves, no matter how they mate, they can give birth to offspring with each other, and even maintain the ability to reproduce.

But this does not mean that the race of the Lost Land will cause a big mess in appearance because of such random breeding. There are laws to follow in the outward racial characteristics of offspring born between different races. Goblins and half-orcs have the strongest genes, and no matter what race the mother is, the offspring they give birth to will still look like goblins or half-orcs.

Anthropomorphic and human genes Secondly, as long as the other half is not a goblin or half-orc, the racial characteristics of their offspring can be retained at least a small part of the orc or human appearance. Elves and dwarves are the weakest in their genes, and as long as they are mixed for more than two generations, they can hardly see the characteristics that belong to their race.

If the mixed race and the mixed race are combined, at most the characteristics of the two races will be retained, depending on which one is stronger. The weaker side will become a recessive gene, and in the future, a certain offspring may have atavistic phenomena.

The strong gene that surpasses all races is the dragon race. Not only Homo sapiens, but also creatures can give birth to offspring with dragons and retain some of the characteristics of dragons. This is something that humans, elves, goblins, and orcs can't do.

At least the centaurs weren't born of humans horses, and the orcs weren't Homo sapiens animals, or being by animals. It is not the winged horse that the horse has made the bird, and the griffin is not the lion that has made the eagle.11
