CHAPTER XXIII
The boss had already finished observing Thor and Agu at this time, pushed away the boy who was about to reply, and stood in front of Thor side.
He leaned over slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, my lord, since the third recruitment order was issued by Archaeological City three years ago, the few remaining people in the town have also moved over. Now it is only some orphans, the elderly, and the sick who stay in the town to live. If I hadn't had this inn and still run it, I wouldn't have stayed here. ”
"Is it urbanized?" Saul didn't expect that the archaeological city had developed to such an extent, but could the underlying productivity of this era keep up?
"If people move to Archaeological City, what about farming? It's not all about trade, is it? ”
Thor's question stopped the boss.
He had to put it another way.
"And who's going to farm the land?"
"Oh, it's all serfs and ...... farming," the innkeeper understood Thor's question this time, but forgot to say it halfway through.
"And magic equipment, my lord!" The boy looked quite clever and immediately called Saul like his boss.
He saw that Thor was not from the neighborhood, and explained carefully, "Magic tools are some of the tools related to witchcraft made by Baidong Academy, but ordinary people can also use them, and they are very powerful, and the time to farm the land is only half of the original half!" ”
Baidong Academy actually made a batch of magic tools that can be used by ordinary people?
It should be an improvised sorcery item.
However, how do they solve the problem of ordinary people being irradiated when they use witchcraft props?
And as long as there is magic and spiritual power, there is a possibility of birth pollution.
If it's a wizard, even if it's just a second-level wizard apprentice, there are certain means to solve the pollution.
But how can ordinary people solve the pollution caused by using witchcraft props?
They probably don't even have the ability to protect themselves.
Thor wanted to ask them what those molds looked like, but he thought about it. Even if these people have seen it, they don't know the real core, so it is better for him to see it himself.
The boy on the other side was like an open chatterbox, still introducing, "The book says that those molds for farming in the suburbs are just the simplest molds, and the real ones are to see the big factories in the archaeological city." It is said that even ordinary people can make even more powerful magic tools with the help of magic tools. If I hadn't had to take care of my grandfather here, I would have gone to the city with my brother Ruf. ”
The boy was about to say something, but the innkeeper pulled him.
Thor glanced at the innkeeper and felt that when he heard about the factories in the city, his expression was not as yearning as the little boy.
There was even a hint of fear.
Saul then asked a few more questions, and the boy enthusiastically told Saul that these were what he had read from the book. If Saul wants to know everything about the archaeological city, I recommend reading that book, which is particularly clear.
As a result, when I asked about the title of the book, it was exactly what the boy and the innkeeper had just read.
Just listening to the name makes people feel unreliable.
The innkeeper returned to the bar at this time, and took out a brand new copy of the same model to give to Thor, "Your Excellency, please accept it, you don't need money." These books were given to us free of charge in the city, just to be given to the guests staying at the hotel. ”
The boss didn't say that when he took it out before, he collected money from passengers.
Unceremoniously accepting the book, Thor stopped asking the two of them, turned around and followed the boy into the courtyard next to him.
The innkeeper on the side also came to deliver food and was very welcoming.
As they left, Thor heard the boy still muttering about wanting to work in the factory.
The innkeeper seemed unwilling to lose the last waiter, saying that the factory magic equipment had eaten people.
The boy said nonchalantly that it was because the workers did not operate properly and did not follow the regulations.
Hearing this, Thor shook the book in his hand and decided to read it before entering the city.
Early the next morning, Saul and his party left the hotel and continued to the archaeological city.
Last night, Saul read the first extracurricular book in three years. But he jumped over the obvious pastimes of YY and focused on the details of life in the city.
It turns out that these details are also to be double-quoted.
The book describes many dangers and even some strange events encountered by the farmer John Jr. after entering the city, but in the end these things develop into sinister people's hearts, or caused by other people's lack of seriousness in their work.
Wizards are also mentioned in the book, but they are all mentioned in a few strokes, and they obviously dare not write in detail.
And the wizard in the book is mysterious, powerful, and wise. Every time they develop a new magic device, it will bring great changes to the lives of ordinary people.
Despite Marsh's drive, they still spent most of the day on the road. By the time the carriage reached the foot of the archaeological city, the sun in the sky had set in the west again.
A huge city soaked in orange and red sunlight appeared in front of Thor.
The rows of high-rise buildings seem to bring Saul back to his original world.
The archaeological city is built on a hill and faces the sea on both sides in the southwest. To the north is a low hill with a gentle slope, and only to the east is flat and accessible by car.
Outside the city was a small fence with soldiers on duty. There was a giant crossbow every few meters on the city wall, and there were square holes every 100 meters.
In the book where John Jr. entered the city, it was written that there was a magic crystal cannon hidden in the hole, which could be detonated by ordinary people.
The eastern wall of the city opened three entrances, each of which had a long queue.
But as Thor's carriage approached, two soldiers immediately rushed on horseback.
One of them had a compass in his hand, and after checking it twice, he dismounted and approached Thor.
"Honorable Wizard, you don't need to queue up to enter the city, please come with us this way."
Thor pushed open the car door and looked at the compass in the soldier's hand, which he thought was interesting.
The appearance of his car did not have any marks of wizard status, and the other party was obviously an ordinary person, so he could be sure that he was a wizard from such a distance.
Apparently the compass in his hand was working.
Thor used to be in the Wizard's Tower, where witchcraft props were either used for fighting or research, and there was very little such convenient infrastructure.
The group was guided by two knights to the fourth entrance.
Hidden circles are painted on the gates and nearby walls.
After entering the radiation range of the circle, the noise around them suddenly became much quieter.
The two knights deliberately stopped outside the circle and saluted before leaving.
At this time, another person had already come up, wearing a blue and white standard dress. It's the kind of minimalist that has a sense of design and doesn't get in the way of action.
The cuffs, neckline and hem of the opponent are embellished with two silver embroidery threads.
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency." The other party stood outside the car and spoke, "Welcome to the archaeological steward, I am Dumar, a second-level apprentice of Baidong Academy, can you do the identity registration?" ”
Agu walked out without letting the other party see what was going on in the carriage.
"How can you say it's convenient, and what can you say if it's inconvenient?"
Dumar's smile remained unchanged as he pulled two metal cards from his front pocket.
One red, one blue.
"We naturally respect your ideas. Because in Archaeological Est, many places require a pass to enter and exit, and to buy. Therefore, we have prepared two kinds of passes for you, the blue one will simply register your information so that we can provide you with services. The red one is the anonymous pass, which can also be provided for most businesses, but when it comes to core business, you may need to show the corresponding proof before you can handle it. Of course, there is absolutely no problem with your basic living needs. ”
Dumar politely handed both passes to Agu.
The choice is yours.
