Volume 5 The Return of the King 39 New World
Science and technology are always a double-edged sword, it can help people create a better life, or it can easily destroy everything it creates.
And it all depends entirely on the person who uses him.
But what kind of people are they who use him? Are they all good people? What is their purpose? Why would they do this?
Those philosophers and scholars tried to justify the causes of the problem from different angles with all sorts of reasons.
Although science and technology in Stormwind City are almost non-existent at the moment. The methods used in production, life and manufacturing can barely be regarded as rudimentary technology, but the changes brought about by thousands of years have been like this.
Orc invasions used artillery, although this weapon has now been widely used on city defense warships, but then?
There seems to be no more to people's livelihood and others than the peace and stability it has brought to it.
Those higher-level magic techniques that are beyond technology are just secrets in the ivory tower, and they dumbfounded the common people, stunned and stunned, making people feel unattainable, this sense of mystery not only allows those who study magic to gain status and benefits, but also brings the way of rule that the emperor needs.
Therefore, in human society, science and technology are blocked, and they are only tools for the upper class to dominate the lower level.
Dwarves, on the other hand, although they also have technology blockades, these technologies have really brought them benefits.
And the goblins running all over the world...... If you put aside the mystical magic, I feel like they've gradually acquired the ability to conquer the world!
There is no shame in money!
Edwin became more and more interested in the strange things I was talking about, and he offered to take me to the goblin city on the spot. And this idea of his was immediately strongly endorsed by Vanessa.
It was the first time the girl looked at me and the look in her eyes became less wary and more expectant. Edwin's face pulled down suddenly, and he said solemnly, "This is not for fun!" ”
Vanessa raised her chin: "Humph! I know! I'm going because I'm not going to play! ”
"Why?"
"I can see and learn more things that I can't see and learn in school!" Vanessa's little face was also very serious, "I can help my dad after I learn it!" ”
Edwin's face melted at once, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes, but he still said, "The road is too far, you are still young, and the road is too dangerous!" ”
Vanessa's eldest lady's temper came up in an instant, and Edwin's warmth just now immediately retracted it. But Vanessa didn't listen to him at all, and finally the little girl left angrily.
I looked at Edwin in embarrassment, but Edwin's face was calm at this point. I can't persuade him to take his daughter with him, to be honest, although I don't say that I am an army by one person anyway, ten or eight will definitely not be able to help me, but with people, I may not be able to take care of it.
"That's it, we'll set off in the next two days."
The rest of the time is to plan the route and prepare for the road. Edwin asked me to recommend how to get there, I chose the sea route, the land route is easy to say, but it is difficult to say what kind of things and people I encounter on the way, and I pass through the troll territory...... I'm not sure it's going to work.
By sea, even if you walk slowly, you will eventually reach Treasure Bay as long as you follow the coastline! It's a certainty! But the question of the ship......
It is not difficult to build a boat after asking the people in the village, but the wood here is not enough for a slightly larger ship, and if you want to get wood, you have to go to Mooncreek Town, and if there is no suitable wood there, you have to get wood from the Elwyn Forest or the Twilight Forest. This back and forth was not guaranteed, and more than a month passed. And shipbuilding! Then the boat is transported to the sea......
I was going to ask if I wanted to bring his ship back from overseas, but I observed that Edwin didn't seem to want to. After all, he can think of anything I can think of.
In the end, it was decided that we would go to the beach first and then follow the coastline all the way south.
Vanessa was crying and fussing on the day of departure, and I couldn't see it, so I left first, and waited a while before Edwin came out.
We took us as far south as we could in a carriage to the sea, and then we rode along the coastline all the way south.
This method is actually quite good, you don't have to worry about the direction at all, and you don't need to worry about going wrong at all. Although the road is indeed difficult, the horses can cope with all the difficulties.
"Do you remember...... Deria? "He asked me that when he had just left the village.
"Of course I do."
"How did you fall in love with her?"
I glanced at him and snorted without answering.
"She's still single." Edwin said.
"How do you know?"
"Of course I know this kind of little gossip."
"What kind of duke...... Isn't that fat guy engaged to her or married? ”
"That fat man can't do it." Edwin smiled.
"Divorced?"
"It's said that it's a personality incompatibility and it's divorced."
"How do you know?"
Edwin narrowed his eyes and laughed, it was the first time I'd ever seen him laugh like that, "I even know what position he's using in bed." He gave me a look.
"Deria...... What did I tell you? ”
"You ...... brain," he shook his head in feigned helplessness.
Her father heard about it...... Sick? Is it because of this? ”
"Do you know the old man is sick?" Edwin smiled at me.
"I met ...... Colonel Coulson. ”
"Ah...... That idiot. Edwin said disdainfully, "Didn't he run away?" Where did you meet him? ”
"...... south of the twilight forest In the jungle. ”
"That guy has a bit of a problem with his brain, and sometimes it's not normal." He looked at me, "I heard that you fought together before?" ”
"Yes."
"Did he get stimulated by something?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"This guy has a bit of a brain that's not right, he ...... Personality is sometimes unstable. "We've been in contact with him for a while, and we've found out that this guy isn't a good thing, he has several temperaments and personalities. It seems like a split personality, right? ”
"I didn't find it......"
Edwin shook his head, "This guy was involved in that plan as well. ”
"But that's not what he told me!"
"Do you believe me or him?"
"She doesn't have an ordinary relationship with the woman named Katrana."
"I know that."
"Didn't he tell you about the two of them once had a passion on the edge of Varian's throne?"
"Huh?"
"But he's still not the woman." Edwin said, "People who like to think with that stuff aren't going to be very wise." ”
"You're saying Coulson was involved in Varian...... What did he do? ”
"He's the King's Guard." Edwin said with a smile.
It dawned on me!
After more than 20 days of arduous trekking, we finally saw the statue that looked like a mountain outside the Treasure Bay.
"What is that...... As an architect, I will have an inexplicable admiration for this kind of magnificent architecture.
"Rivigaz," I said, "is the master of the city." ”
"You know?"
"I ...... Previously recognized. ”
Edwin looked solemnly as we stood on the edge of a nearby cliff looking out at the harbor, but I could feel the surging inside me even though he was in control.
"Let's go into town!" I say.
After checking and checking, we entered the city relatively smoothly, and as soon as we entered, Edwin was stunned by the scene in front of us again!
"That's ...... What! He said in surprise, pointing to the tall minotaur.
"Minotaur." I say.
"Can the cows stand up?" His expression made me laugh at once. It's like a rural person who has never been in a city and sees this and that when he goes to the city. Not only curiosity, but also endless questions and doubts.
"yes, they're not just standing up, they're talking."
Edwin and the three guards should have recorded the expressions on their faces.
"That's ...... What! He pointed to the fangs on his face and pushed forward, and the two trolls whose fangs were eager to pierce his eyes asked me.
"That's a troll." I said, "That's what grows in the forest south of the Twilight Forest." I don't agree to go overland because of these guys. In the old grandmother's story, the children are scared and say that they are the things that eat people. ”
"It turns out that the guy who attacked Stormwind City and killed Baratheon on the spot looks like this."
"You should have seen an orc." I dropped my chin and nodded at the orc next to me.
The three of them looked warily at the green-skinned, stocky guys.
"Don't look at people like that." I say.
"How?"
"This is a neutral city, and it's better not to do it here, because the cost of doing it is quite high." I say.
"At what cost."
"Maybe it's going to go bankrupt." I nodded.
As he walked forward, Edwin lowered his voice and said, "There are still humans here?" ”
"Are you surprised?" I smiled, "Am I not human?" So do you. ”
"But how come I haven't heard of it...... Human ......"
"None of these humans are good people. Good people don't know this place. I said and pointed at them, "They're a pirate organization called the Bloodsail Pirates. I glanced at Edwin, "You should know about them!" ”
Edwin nodded, "No wonder they're almost sideways at sea!" ”
Pointing to the ships parked outside the harbor, I said, "The sooner he conquers the sea, the easier it will be to become the king of this world!" ”
