Chapter 33: Running away from home
Chrissy explained in a low voice: "Don't look at several countries in this world, there are often wars, but relatively speaking, the strength between countries is mostly transparent", said pretending to be profound: " And there are too many factors that determine the war, the army and the city are only one aspect, the most important thing is the competition of the economy and the strongest combat effectiveness, if a country has an absolute strong, then his deterrent power is stronger than an army, and it is more valuable than a city, even if it is a natural danger like the Clemens Grand Canyon, it is only a small stumbling block in the eyes of the strong. ”
"In this way, things like identity cards can only restrain ordinary people, but ordinary people can have little effect in war, even if you sneak into a city and secretly open the city gate and occupy it, as long as the strong man of the other party is still there, then you can take it back at any time, except for wasting energy. ”
Wednesday frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "What about the security problem? What if there is a security problem among ordinary people? For example, if someone kills someone, then shouldn't he just flee to a place where no one knows him?"
Chrissy laughed: "You are really like the stupid person of the Li family, your brain is confused, have you forgotten that there is a mercenary union? As long as you are willing to pay some compensation, there are more people to help you solve these disputes, whether it is debt collection or murder, as long as you pay well enough, there is nothing that those mercenaries can't do." ”
After listening to Chrissy's explanation, Wednesday's heart was a little abrupt. Although the rules of this world are a bit strange, in the final analysis, strength is respected. Just like those countries on the planet, with nuclear weapons, you have the right to speak.
Every peerless powerhouse in this world is a reusable nuclear weapon, and with so many nuclear weapons, there is really no need to care about the survival of a city and a country, because it can be taken back at any time. In this way, instead of spending so much money to make a certificate like an ID card, it is better to set up a checkpoint to collect more taxes.
Of course, this does not mean that the army is completely useless, there are nuclear weapons as a deterrent, and the army is also needed as a cornerstone. A master can take a city by surprise, but he will never be able to defend a city or run a city. And in the face of thousands of ordinary soldiers, those masters may not be able to kill.
It's good that masters can kill people, but they are not killing machines, and no one wants to slaughter tens of thousands of people as meaninglessly as killing chickens. But relatively speaking, in this world, individual strength does play a strong leading role to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Wednesday asked tentatively: "How many masters can conquer a city by one person in this world?"
"How many?" Chrissy laughed silently, "You also underestimate those strong people," said and stretched out his palm and said: "It is a small country of the Sean Kingdom, there are dozens of masters at the level of light magic masters and sword masters, and any one of these people can capture a small city as long as they are careful, and there are seven or eight people at the higher level of the great mages and great sword masters, although there are no law gods and sword masters, but it is enough to gain a foothold in this world." ”
Wednesday secretly smacked his tongue, there are dozens of masters at the level of magic masters and sword masters, and these masters don't know how powerful they are, but seeing that Chrissy admires them so much, they must not be bad. As for the Great Sword Master and the Great Demon Master, they are the most powerful professional levels other than the Sword Saint and the Law God, and they don't need to think about it to know that they are the kind that ordinary countries dare not provoke.
Especially for a magician at the level of the Great Magister, it is estimated that if he throws two forbidden spells at random, the power may not be much worse than that of an atomic bomb. For a country, this is indeed a master of strategy, and with them, ordinary countries will not dare to provoke wars casually and easily.
After a brief understanding of these situations, Wednesday didn't think much about it, after all, it is a different world, and it is normal to be different from the social situation on Earth. "Let's go down and get something to eat, because you haven't had a comfortable meal in the past two days. ”
Chrissy grinned, "Who is to blame, can you blame yourself for being stupid." ”
Wednesday was speechless, he was indeed stupid enough, he chased Chrissy as Margaret for more than two days, and he really couldn't blame others for being like this. However, Chrissy was rescued by Wednesday by accident, otherwise her fate might not have been good.
The two of them found a restaurant on the street and went in, and there were quite a few people inside, it was noisy like a big bar, and most of the customers carried swords with them, and occasionally one or two robed mages could be seen. I found a window seat and sat down, and before I could say anything on Wednesday, Chrissy was already familiar with picking up the menu and ordering.
I don't know what she ordered, but after ordering, she handed it directly to the waiter on the side, and then stuck out her tongue towards Wednesday, "I'll do it when I order, I don't believe in the taste buds of your Li family, I think in the mouth of your Li family, any dish is a taste." ”
Wednesday shook his head speechlessly, and didn't argue with her, just observed the situation around him without a trace. In the past ten days, Wednesday was made nervous by Margaret. Now although she has been replaced by Chrissy, she is also a troublesome woman, although she is not as an exiled princess like Margaret, but she is also a rich girl, and there must be more people peeping at.
Of course, fortunately, there is no monitoring in this world, no ID card, no household registration book, and the chance of being found in a strange city is not high.
It's just that I forgot on Wednesday that although there are no hardware facilities in this world to monitor a person's movements, it doesn't mean that there is really no way. While he was having dinner with Chrissy, there were already a few mercenaries whispering.
The dishes are relatively exquisite, with eight ripe grilled steaks with a strong aroma and a good color, two caviar made from unknown fish roe, bright in color and fragrant, and two grilled fish similar to cod, which look light and delicious. In addition, there are two servings of mustard soup, which looks pretty good.
Of course, what Wednesday said was not bad was just for other foods in this world, and he himself was out of sight. After tasting two bites, the steak is okay, tender and juicy, soft and tender, but unfortunately the seasoning is still a little worse, and with a little bit of fireworks. As for that grilled fish and that caviar, I also tasted a few bites on Wednesday.
Caviar is said to be a very precious thing, and when it was on earth, it was only the rich who could afford to eat it, and naturally it was not eaten on Wednesday. I didn't expect to be able to eat it when I came to this different world, and it tasted good, but it looked good.
As for the grilled fish, in addition to the delicious meat of the fish itself, the cooking materials and knife work are too poor, and the method is not exquisite enough, and it is not as good as the grass carp he secretly roasted.
But I ate it all on Wednesday, after all, I hadn't eaten anything hot for two or three days.
Not only on Wednesday, but Chrissy also hadn't eaten a decent meal in days, and when she ate it, she gobbled it up like a big child, but she made Wednesday look a little more comfortable. Although it is good for girls to be gentle and elegant when eating, it also depends on the environment.
And although Chrissy's eating appearance is exaggerated, it is not very vulgar and rude, but the speed of eating is a little faster.
Seeing the waiter walking by, Wednesday stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Pay the bill." ”
"Yes sir, twenty-five gold coins in total," said the waiter politely.
Wednesday was stunned, twenty-five gold coins, so expensive, but did not show it, took out thirty and handed it to the waiter, and then asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you something, has anyone passed by here with a short-haired girl in the past two days, the girl is seventeen or eighteen years old, short hair but very messy, yellow-skinned, about one meter six five tall, with her is a mage and a group of swordsmen." ”
The handsome waiter pondered for a moment, and said politely: "I seem to have seen it yesterday morning, they walked past from the street, and the others were not impressed, only remembered a girl with short black hair, her hairstyle was too peculiar......"
Wednesday nodded, said thank you, and nodded at Chrissy, "Let's go." ”
Chrissy grinned and said, "Is that woman your lover?" Hehe, it turns out that her hairstyle is still a moving Peugeot, so you can rest assured that people who have seen her will not forget it." ”
Wednesday didn't speak, so he wouldn't tell the naughty girl that Margaret's hair had been cut by him, "Let's go," and he took the lead and walked out of the restaurant. It's just that when I went out and turned left, I suddenly saw a table of guests also getting up from the corner of my eye, and one of them stared at Chrissy's back a little nervously.
Seeing this scene, Wednesday's heart moved, could it be that Chrissy was discovered so quickly? Thinking of this, he pretended to be casual and walked along the east side of the street with Chrissy.
Chrissy didn't know why, pulled Wednesday's sleeve and said excitedly, "Are you going shopping?"
Wednesday nodded, but focused his attention on his back, and half a minute later, he saw the group of people coming out of the restaurant, and looked around for a while as if nothing had happened, but finally hung a few dozen meters behind him and Chrissy.
Seeing this, Wednesday knew what to expect, and pulled Chrissy to walk quickly out of the city.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing here, aren't you shopping?" Chrissy was dragged by Wednesday towards the east gate, although extremely reluctant, but where could she stop Wednesday's strength, and was dragged to the city gate.
Wednesday saw the city gate official at the gate, and whispered to Chrissy: "Don't make trouble, someone is targeting you, if you don't want to be arrested, be obedient." ”
