Chapter 4: Elven Impressions
Located in the forest east of Savile Town, Connefila is a border city where the Empire trades with the Elves of Comanthor, but due to the restrictions of the Elves, it is difficult for Connefila to destroy forests outside the city to open up large-scale farmland.
Therefore, in the more than 100 years before the Saville Territory, many supplies in Connefila City had to be transported from the rear of the empire across hundreds of kilometers, not to mention the time and effort, if you encounter a crowd of fish in the river, a goblin community in the wilderness, trolls, beasts, etc., then this trip is likely to be empty.
If it weren't for the occasional elf support, it's hard to say whether Connefila City would be able to survive.
Therefore, in the year 744 of the Chromic calendar, the Grand Arcanist of Savile chose to come to the vicinity of the Wolfburg River to open up the wilderness, laying the foundation of today's Savile Territory, which has been in place for 90 years now.
In the past 90 years, the Savile Territory, located on the trade route from the core of the empire to the city of Connefila, has become the main place for the collection of daily necessities in the city of Connefila, and has developed tremendously.
Today's eastern side of Savile Town even retains some of the buildings from decades ago, the most low-key of which is of course the stone road that Xia Duo stepped on at this time, and the only road in the eastern side of the entire Savile Town is now built during the time of the Saville Grand Arcanist.
Other roads have disappeared during the years of township sprawl.
As he walked, Xia Duo kept an eye on the stone pavement that had been used for nearly a hundred years and did not look damaged, which should be due to the magic of magic and the constant maintenance of future generations.
The buildings on both sides of the road have been changed several times in the past hundred years, and only a few have been preserved, and those preserved buildings basically have a distinct elven style, perhaps this is the reason why they have been able to preserve.
The building of the elves is a bit similar to the ancient buildings of the country where Xia Duo was located before he crossed over, exquisite, elegant, and gorgeous, which is how it is not possible not to be regarded as a miracle in front of the people who were almost civilized at the beginning.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Color-resistant people and the elves began in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and since then, the influence of the elves has penetrated into the marrow of the Color-resistant people.
If it weren't for the discovery of the color-resistant scroll, Xia Duo would even think that the color-resistant people would eventually become human beings in the flesh, but the spirit would be the "spirit, elf, human" of the elves, but are the elves really that beautiful and kind?
The information before Xia Duo's crossing may not be accurate, but at least it can provide some reference - as far away as the Crown War, which lasted for thousands of years, several elven kingdoms fought each other, and countless casualties were inflicted.
Recently, 70 years ago, a complete set of color-resistant scrolls of the empire was stolen out of thin air, and it is said that no clues have been found until now, is it really impossible to find it?
Even if it is just in line with the principle of "whoever gains, who is the suspect", after a little thought, he knew that it was likely to be the elf's doing, and what Xia Duo knew from the information before the crossing was that when the Komanso elf established the Mystic Zono Puzzle Lock in the future, it was based on the knowledge analyzed from the color-resistant scroll.
Of course, when he traveled to the Faren Continent in person, Xia Duo couldn't be sure if it was really the elves, but the elves were definitely not so pure and kind.
How can a mature civilization have any nature? The country before Xia Duo crossed was known as the foodie empire, but there were not many people who could really eat and cook, and for example, the fact that the fighting nation was actually not brave.
One can imagine how much authenticity there is in artificially added labels.
For most of the year in Savile Town, Xia Duo has seen elves several times with his own eyes, and they do look beautiful and innocent, but the elves often come and go in a hurry, rarely lingering, and not having time to observe carefully.
One of the things that impressed Xia Duo the most was when an elf came to Old Neil's inn to replenish food - he wanted meat ****** a spirit to eat meat! How fresh!
However, this is not the most impressive thing for Xia Duo, after all, the elf vegetarian is just a preconceived concept he brought from before the crossing, and the color-resistant people probably don't have such thoughts.
What really impressed Xia Duo was that for the first time, he saw the magic of magic, no longer a street trick, but a cleaning technique that covered the entire inn, and even Xia Duo's clothes were brand new.
It's just that the elf's arrival only lasted for a while, and before Xia Duo could take a closer look, the elf left in a hurry, not giving a good face the whole time, but old Neil had a smile on his face.
I can't wait to receive the elves every day, because the elves have no less than gold coins when they shoot, and that time it was just a few pieces of raw meat, and the elves paid 5 gold coins, and it is estimated that they grabbed it casually, and they gave 5 coins when they caught 5 pieces.
And for the cleaning spell that spreads throughout the inn at once, if you ask a color-resistant mage to cast a spell, you don't have to ask whether the mages are willing to cast a spell on an inn, and even if they are willing, it will cost at least dozens of gold coins to cast a spell.
Rich and powerful, this is the elf.
……
The stone path from the time of the Great Arcanist of Savile was long and large, and soon, Shado and Little Neil came to the east gate of the town, which was similar to the west gate that Xia Duo had taken when he came to Savile for the first half of the year.
They were all wooden gates, except that the east gate was wider enough to accommodate three carriages passing through at the same time, and the guards at the gate wore half-body leather armor and spears, and leaned on a wooden pillar, lazy.
But the tax collector sitting behind a wooden table on the side had his eyes wide open, staring at everyone who came in and out, his eyes almost shining, hoping that anyone who came in and out could meet the standard of paying taxes, and then squeezed even a copper coin out of them.
The town of Savile originally had stone walls, but as the town grew, it was abolished and now only a wooden fence encloses the entire town, which is certainly not without regard for safety.
Rather, the entire town of Savile is within the spell coverage of the mage tower, even the stupidest goblins will not choose to attack the town, as for those wooden fences, of course, it is not so simple, it is said that the mages attach surveillance magic to them, and if someone climbs over or destroys, it will sound a piercing alarm.
Those caught can be sentenced to slavery at the heaviest.
Naturally, Xia Duo didn't want to climb over the fence, but when he passed by, he still couldn't help but think, if he flew over or jumped over the pole, would the alarm be triggered without touching the fence?
This question may never have a chance to be verified.
If you don't become a mage, you don't dare to verify it; Once you become a mage, you can ask someone who knows, or maybe this is some kind of mage's common sense!
After passing the city gate, except for being a little uncomfortable being stared at by the tax officer, Xia Duo didn't feel anything else, and he just left the town.
As soon as he stepped out of the town's gates, little Neil cried out, "Look, Chardo, tent of the Circus of Lion and Fire!" ”
Oh, yes! It was a group of golden-red and white-colored yurt-like tents, with colorful streamers hanging from the top of the tents, and almost every tent had two doors open, with visitors entering through one door and exiting the other.
Seems free?
Chateau hadn't seen a circus on earth either, but if they didn't charge for it, what did they want?
Here Xia Duo is guessing the profit model of the circus, and little Neil can't help it, so he pulls Xia Duo and runs forward, I really don't know where he gets the energy!
When he got closer, Xia Duo found that most of these tents were selling things, ranging from scissors, needles and threads, salt, pots, and basins to tables, chairs, benches, weapons and armor.
These circuses also double as a grocery store!
And what about trolls?
Xia Duo couldn't help but ask.
"What about trolls?" Little Neil had already asked.
