Chapter 3: The black-hearted plot that was beaten by the social serial beating

"Didi, Didi! Tick tick tick! When Hua Xi touched the phone again, he saw "0745" dimly, and was just about to put down the phone and continue to sleep, but found a terrifying thing.

"Gan! Monday! It's time to work! Although this body has been well rested and mentally recovered, Hua Xi, who has control, is a lazy dog.

I really have to find a way to grasp the time to take the initiative to go online and offline, and strive to go online when I am ready, and go to work when I get offline, seamlessly connecting without wasting every minute

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Xi, who finished cooking in the cafeteria, returned to the dormitory, collapsed on the bed and played with his mobile phone, planning the next stage of the process.

At the moment, I have only reached a resting point, and the next step should be to continue to look for a gathering area, and it is better to be in a place where there are no large forces.

Now that our own strength is weak, we can only find some leftovers that no one looks down on, and fully learn that "the countryside surrounds the city and seizes power by force."

Although the dormant pod marks itself as a mage, his identity has to jump repeatedly.

When you go to the base of magic, you are the mage apprentice of the Equilibrium Mage Tower, and when you go to the territory of the machine, you are the mechanic of the auxiliary mechanical society.

It's a pity that I'm a liberal arts student and a mechanic...... It can only be said that it is difficult.

In the future, recruiting leeks really depends on the profession, and magic can also look at talent.

It's really not possible to try a warlock or a priesthood, and sell some soul or faith in exchange for power, but the player is still willing.

But the mechanical sect can really only find science students, otherwise liberal arts students, including themselves, will really be discriminated against by the profession.

Huaxi wanted to try if he could go online independently, although he was sure that he could passively cross at twelve o'clock, but it was noon over there.

I found "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents" on the Internet and saw that it was more than eight o'clock, thinking that it was eight o'clock in the morning on the other side, Bloomage lay down and prepared to try to cross.

Sure enough, with the experience of crossing, it is easy to grasp the wonderful sense of alienation, just like falling, and wake up in an instant.

When I opened my eyes, I found that I had really almost fallen off the tree, and the rattan tied to my body was straight.

Put on your equipment, click on the assistant, and find that the time is 8:46 in the morning, check your movement track on the map, and prepare to continue walking in the direction of yesterday.

After marking your location as "Camp 0846", follow the path marked for you to find the gathering place.

This time there was plenty of time, and you should be able to find a settlement before sunset, and it would not make sense to go any further.

Sure enough, along the road, a town that was very in line with Huaxi's only remaining geographical knowledge appeared in the distance:

Follow the river all the way into the main stream, and the delta at the intersection is flat and convenient.

There are plenty of boats parked on the main streams, from smoky steamboats to sailors climbing up and down sailboats, and all kinds of small boats.

It's a vibrant, competitive posture.

"One person against one city, the advantage is mine!" Bloomage learned from the principal and set up a flag for himself first.

It was noon, and smoke was rising from time to time in the villages and towns, and it took about five or six hours to get here after two landings.

Counting the stop-and-go along the way, this village and town is only about 25 kilometers away from the shelter, which is estimated to be the distance from the ordinary small county town to the nearest township and town office.

This distance should be placed in the world of planning Ah Guang, and it doesn't take an hour to step on a bicycle for a cow and horse with individual strength.

It's too close to the Vault, and the town has to be wooed to locate as the first novice village out of the resurrection point.

As far as the information observed so far is concerned, a town so convenient for water transportation should be close to the mechanical camp, otherwise it is also a place for the revival of royal power.

The magic test camp generally doesn't pay much attention to this, and the magic test looks for the ease of channeling mana, better communication with the gods, or selling one's soul faster.

However, with the rise of the Monarchy Revival Organization, various local governments sprung up.

The magic camp also had to put down its position and compete with the machine camp for the direction of these small and medium-sized powers.

The mechanical faction selects the Artisan area, and the magic faction builds the Mage Tower and the Chapel. Get rid of the scene of Su Xunzong's battle against Emperor Meile.

Then you only need to go into the city to understand the situation as the preset identity of the "mechanic of the auxiliary mechanical society".

If there are already forces here, then the united front; If it doesn't work, try to take root first, and let the leeks dig the foot of the wall later.

Close to the village and town, I found that there was no high wall to block it, but it was just a circle of adobe and earth walls, and the entrance and exit were added to the horse, so it should be an ordinary small town.

After observing outside the city gate for a while, I found that the guards at the entrance of the village did not collect tolls from pedestrians, and most of the caravans held some certificates.

The remaining small number of caravans also seem to have only counted the number and released after paying the fees.

Instead of checking the contents of the goods, the guards also talked and laughed with passers-by and merchants.

It seems that the local governor is still relatively enlightened, the restrictions on commerce are relatively loose, and the water transportation seems to be quite developed, so it is inevitable that the town will want to build an independent city and develop and grow.

The point is that pedestrians don't have to spend money! Huaxi is ready to enter the village to have a look, so he can't find a way to go into the city to make a profit?

It's a pity that if there is no accident, then there will be some accident.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? Stop, pay your taxes! The lean guard, speaking in a lingua franca with a serious local accent, stopped the high-spirited Hua Xi with a long stick.

"Why? So many people come and go and ask me to collect it? "Just such a precise blow and directly catch yourself as a poor bastard? There must be something obviously wrong with me.

"Although our Yuanwang Town is not a major town, it is still a big dock after all, and the caravans coming and going on this road, which one has not walked on this road for a few years?"

A gray-haired guard leaning against the earthen wall, visibly more advanced, explained with a smile.

The surrounding guards were all dressed in cloth and armed with spears or muskets, but he was the only one with chain mail and a large sword in his hand, presumably the city gate official here.

"And the surrounding mountain people either live in the nearby villages, or live alone in the mountains, but they will come to the town from time to time.

And the mayor of the town also said that only the caravan and the mage will be taxed into the city. The caravan collects 3 coppers per cart, and the mages receive 20 coppers each" The gate officer who lived with a shotgun gestured up and down with his hand towards Hua Xi, "You are not a mechanic either. ”

"Is it so obvious? Taxation only for mages, professional discrimination? "I can see through the identity of the mage at a glance, and it seems that the identity of the preparation is afraid that it will not be used.

"Don't talk about it, pay the money, Your Excellency." The city gate official said with a smile that he should be very happy to see the mage deflated.

"Oh, isn't it just twenty children, I'll come out for the mage master, presumably the mage master will lose a big son and come out, and you don't have the money to find it."

A short and fat middle-aged man in a black robe walked out from between several carriages, and said good things for Hua Xi with a flattering face.

Take out two copper coins and give them to the guard, and retrieve the change from the guard.

"It's over, the value of the currency is not uniform, and there can be at least two numbers in copper alone."

20 coppers can be recovered by paying two copper coins for entering the city, and an average copper coin is worth 11, so it won't be so strange, right?

That should mean that the value of the two copper coins given is different, and the change is the same......

"Could this Venerable Mage, the Contemptible Bagnar, have the honor of inviting you to join our caravan?

Our caravan has raised a batch of supplies and is preparing to go to the big town in the northwest.

I believe that with you in our caravan, we will be able to bring you countless resources. ”

The black-robed merchant Bagnar interrupted the calculation of Huaxi's ternary equation.

While warmly inviting Huaxi into the city, he asked his subordinates to pay the city entry tax.

Bloomage thought to himself that someone would send money to the door so soon? It's also too easy and not challenging at all.

"Mage, no private brawls are allowed in the city, and compensation will be paid for any damage caused." The gatekeeper glanced at the two men who had entered the city.

Finally, he added a sentence "Pay attention to financial security, contact the guards in case of accidents, and do not fight in private." ”

"Thank you very much." Hua Xi found that the city gate official seemed to have something to say, could it be that the mages who came in the past always brought destruction?

According to what the city gate official said, it is speculated that the mage entered the city and was watched for fun, and he was already angry.

Then it was stolen again in the city, and in order to chase the thief all the way to the fireball and ice arrows, the thing was recovered, but the compensation for the damage caused was afraid that it would be heavenly.

Perhaps the development funds of Yuanwang Town were donated by successive mages.

Fortunately, I'm a poor bastard, so I have a sickle, a hammer, and a bracer......

Wait a minute! Do I have something else? This has just entered the city! It's gone?

……

In the dark corners of the town, three dark shadows of different heights came together, and Hua Xi's gas mask was held in his hand.

"Sure enough, it's a rookie mage, this kind of valuable thing is actually directly hung on the waist, isn't this money given away for nothing." A female voice laughed wildly.

"Boss, why don't you take a few more? I think that rookie mage has a lot of goods on his waist? Just touch him with a magic weapon and send it! ”

The little man expressed his displeasure with a shrill voice for only taking a mask this time.

"Stupid, a rookie like this looks like he has just obtained the title of mage and is ready to build his own mage tower.

Although this kind of person is a little stupid, but it really annoys people, and the three of us are not enough for others to be killed with a finger. ”

The female voice slapped the little man in the head.

"Now sell this first, exchange it for Danny to eat, and when the rookie gets up the Mage Tower, we will take refuge in the name of the Crazy Panda Mercenary Group.

Seeing that he directly accepted the caravan's invitation just now, a mercenary group must be happier to join him.

With my ingenuity, isn't it easy to get a novice like him in the air?

This kind of rookie mage who has just come out of the Mage Tower, as long as he is given enough cultivation resources, he can stay in the Mage Tower for the rest of his life. ”

The female voice smiled contemptuously.

"What does this kind of novice know how to operate? It's not up to us yet.

The Mage Tower is our business, the industry is our business, and the caravan is our business......

What's the difference between the Mage Tower and ours?

It's equivalent to getting a mage tower and a lot of resources for nothing, and you just need to coax a mage to be a signboard.

As long as you coax him well, you can still eat Yuanwang Town! ”

"Danny is also a mage, and Danny must have his own mage tower." The male voice sounded very determined.

"Okay, well, in the future, this mage tower will be called Danny Mage Tower."

The female voice coaxed Danny like a child and walked into the darkness.
