0012 Steam locomotives and floatboats

[Oh my God, what are these smoking constructs?]

Leaving the quiet college district and entering the market area of Jialan, I was stunned by the traffic on the streets of [Coran City].

All kinds of strangely shaped structures, on the smooth stone-paved street, rushed left and right, "Goo, goo!", the strange sound of the whistle of the airbags, the noisy environment of the people's voices, the air was filled with billowing white steam and smoke, and the dirty air was mixed with drifting soot, so that Jialan, who had never seen this kind of scene, could not adapt to it at once.

Perhaps it was because of Jialan's "curious" expression on her eyes staring at those vehicles, Ailan carried the skirt of her magic robe, tiptoed carefully to avoid the garbage and flowing sewage on the ground, and said with a smile: "These steam locomotives made by the goblin guild are amazing, right? I was also scared when I first saw them! I heard that only those rich people can afford to drive this kind of steam vehicle that is not pulled by horses." ”

[Goblin steam locomotive?, is it possible that the high goblin civilization has been revived?]

Remembering that the [Kingdom of Gilargo] is indeed the last ruins of the High Goblin Civilization [Dakan Goblin Empire] that once ruled the entire land in ancient times, when humans have not set foot in the [Kovar Continent], it is not impossible for the High Goblin Civilization to revive in this land.

Before Jialan could calm down, a huge olive-shaped sphere flying machine floating in the sky frightened him again, and if he looked in the direction of the [Port Corran] ship dock in the distance, he could even see more flying machines slowly taking off.

Ailan, who had already walked far away, suddenly found that Jialan had not followed, and after looking back for a while, he jumped back to him, looked up at the flying machine in the sky, and looked at him strangely: "Jialan, haven't you seen a dwarf float before? This is the most famous flying tool in our [Gilagozhou]...... Uh, by the way, you said you're from the Eastern Continent, and there are no gnome floats over there [in the Eastern Islands]?"

Jialan withdrew her somewhat straight eyes and smiled wryly, but it was not easy to explain to the girl that his so-called "Eastern Continent" and the [Eastern Islands] she was talking about were not the same place at all, so she could only say vaguely: "It is indeed relatively rare in my hometown......

Can it be uncommon?

The only flying machines Jialan has ever seen are the Floating Tower and the Floating City, but those huge floating buildings are not as smart and convenient as these flying machines.

Forcing himself to stop paying attention to things that seemed so strange to him, Jialan stepped into the bustling market with the girl, but her mind was shocked by the novelty of this era.

It seems that although the great destruction has led to the discontinuation of civilization, this era is not as ignorant and backward as he imagined, and people have developed new magical techniques on the basis of the original civilization, and have their unique civilization characteristics.

In some respects, some of the techniques of this era have even surpassed the heights of the previous civilizations, at least in the era of Jialan, except for those ancient teleportation arrays left over from the ancient era, there are no convenient and fast means of transportation such as "goblin steam locomotives" and "dwarf floating boats".

While talking to Alan, Jialan was silently observing the various environments of this era, there were still horse-drawn carriages and various pack beasts on the road, and most people still relied on walking or riding to get there.

That is to say, those magical "goblin steam locomotives" and "dwarf floating boats" are only exclusive luxury goods for high-level people in society, and have not been popularized among the civilian class, which shows that the new civilization technology of this era is still in its embryonic state and has not developed to the civilian stage.

Judging from some of the known circumstances, the civilization caused by the great collapse has not yet restored the knowledge of the people of this era to the height of the [Dawn Age], but on the existing knowledge system, they have developed their own things in a different way, and gradually carried them forward, and over time, it may not be impossible to form a knowledge system that is different from the "pre-civilization" and has their own civilization characteristics.

Jialan, who was originally a little contemptuous of the fact that "Kemo University" only taught niche subjects such as the incomplete and incomplete [Elemental Sub-School], couldn't help but put away her contempt and began to respect the spellcasters, scholars, and researchers of this era.

Judging from the pedestrians on the street, this is not only an era of new civilization and technology, but also an era of great racial integration, along the way, he not only saw humans, elves, dwarves, dwarves, halflings, these common intelligent races in previous civilizations, and even orcs, trolls, goblins, kobolds, bestials... Scales, Sea Clans... and all sorts of half-human, subhuman, humanoid, and their subspecies!

These races of different races, whether they are [evil camp] creatures or ignorant primitive lower races in Jialan's cognition, all live together in peace, it seems that this era has eliminated the so-called "camp barrier", there is no longer "racial discrimination", and the atmosphere of tolerance for various cultures is also full of tolerance.

Although Jialan felt a little weird, I have to admit that this peaceful atmosphere feels very good!

He had just seen a big-shouldered, round-faced, fanged-faced orc man, unload a heavy load from a mule cart and take it to a shop by the roadside, and then, with a terrible grin, took a handful of copper danding from the goblin boss's hand as a paychecker.

He also saw a half-humanoid wolf beast driver dragging a rickshaw as fast as he could, sending an elf lady to the shopping street and politely helping her down...... This kind of scene would never have happened in his time!

[It's a strange, but not too bad time!]

A smile gradually appeared on her lips, and Jialan followed the girl who was jumping up and down and looked very happy, and wandered around the extremely prosperous market.

As he passed a small vendor selling groceries, he suddenly stared at the goods on the vendor's stall spread out on the ground with a piece of worn linen.

That's a lot of dried branches of [Blood Mistletoe Vine], one of the important ingredients for the preparation of [Hemostatic Ointment], although it's not a rare material, but it shouldn't be mixed with some wild fruits and put on the stall for sale!
