Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Town of Collin
The flames of war in Xiling have been quietly ignited, and the smoke of gunpowder has risen again on the Spirit Continent, which has been quiet for a long time. Even when the smoke and clouds were rising in Xilu, there was still a peaceful scene on the other side of the heavenly danger Sarah.
To the southeast of the mainland, separated by a strait, Lushen Island sits in the middle of the sea. Around the Spirit Continent, there are countless islands of all sizes. And Lu Shen is the second largest island in this spiritual world. The island is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the southern part is plain, so most of the cities on the island are located in the south. In the coastal area, there are also port cities built on the hills, which are the key to the connection between the island and the mainland.
In the middle of the island, in the middle of the three mountains, one of the largest personnel training bases in the spirit realm is located. This place has a history of more than hundreds of years, and when it was not established, it was the best place for many warriors to practice. Hundreds of years ago, the training base was built here by the official organization, and since then, more than eighty percent of the soldiers or officials in the spiritual world have learned from here.
After such a long evolution, this place is no longer just a place for martial arts and spells. Some professional training related to the government or the military is carried out here. For example, politics, architecture, planning, medicine, military weapons, and emerging machinery can all be learned here. No matter what field or technology you are learning, after you complete it, you will be transferred to the local government or military to take up your post. The ultimate goal is to cultivate talents for their own people or the current government.
Since the establishment of this base, it has been lively, and for this reason, many people from the mainland have moved here to live, but there are not many aborigines of Lushen. As a result, the island, which was originally small in population and not rich in resources, grew up within a few years.
In addition, there is no excessive manufacturing on Lushen Island, which makes the environment here very good, which is one of the reasons why people have chosen to practice here since ancient times. In particular, the area around the eastern and southeastern corners of the island has retained its original environment after the rapid development of the island today. Therefore, some retired high-ranking people often settled here, and the former king of the Spirit Clan, Ren Zhiyuan, lived in the southeast corner of the island.
The main city, Lushen City, is located in the south-central part of the island, bordering mountains in the west and a harbor in the south. There are three towns to the north, and the northernmost town of Colin is close to the training base. The training base, which is also surrounded by mountains on three sides, is surrounded by only one town, Colin.
At this time, it welcomed many guests from other places. As early as a few days ago, people who were called to participate in the training appeared one after another. Today, there are more and more people here.
Before the training camp began, everyone was free to move around, so there were so many outsiders in this Colin town.
At this time, Yu Feng and Xing Xuan from Pingsang Village were also wandering in this forest. The two of them came to the island the day before yesterday, and yesterday, after Fu Ping took them through a series of formalities, he took them around the base to get acquainted with them everywhere, and then left here in the evening.
Today, Yu Feng Xing Xuan and the others, who had settled here, came to Colin Town in the south together. Before the training camp began, they had nothing to do, so they wanted to visit the lively town outside.
A few days ago, when they were in Baichun, they also walked around the lively street market. However, most of the markets there sell daily necessities, or food and clothing, and although there are many varieties, they did not attract the attention of the two of them. And in this Colin Town, in addition to some common daily necessities, there are also many weapons, spirit ornaments, armor, and spell shops, which can make the two of them interested.
At the end of a street, the two walked into a weapons store. As soon as I entered the house, I was attracted by the various utensils that were placed around me. The store is of average size, with about four or five customers in the store, some of whom are picking around, and some are talking to the merchants in the store, as if they are haggling. There was also a clerk who seemed to be packing something.
Yu Feng and Xing Xuan were here looking at each of the different weapons, and they were whispering to each other.
"Look at that, that spear, it looks so powerful, if you learn it, I will learn this marksmanship, and charge into battle with this kind of gun, it must be very handsome. Xing Xuan pointed to a spear not far from them, and said to Yu Feng, "Which one you like, let's buy one by one in the future." ”
Yu Feng shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, I don't have anything special to like." We haven't learned anything, we don't know anything yet, and you're thinking a little too much. When you're done, choose your weapon. ”
The clerk not far away saw the movements of the two and walked over. "Do you two like this spear, if you like it, you can take it down and try it first. As he spoke, he pointed at the gun that Xing Xuan was aiming at.
Xing Xuan waved his hand hurriedly when he heard this, "No need, no need." Let's take a look first. "I don't know anything, and if I pick up a spear, I'm not dumbfounded. "I don't know how much this spear will sell for, but it looks pretty good. "Don't dare to try, it's always okay to ask, and you have a bottom yourself.
The clerk glanced at the spear again, "This is a spear made of tungsten iron, called Xuanjin, containing enamel stone, belonging to one*, now priced at 65,000 rupes, very cost-effective, very popular with customers." ”
After listening to this introduction, Xing Xuan himself felt that he really didn't understand anything, and he still asked around. He only wrote down the price of more than 60,000 yuan, and he didn't remember the rest clearly because he didn't know about it. "Okay, I see, thanks, let's look around for something else. ”
The clerk smiled, seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have any intention of buying anything, just looked casually, then stopped greeting and turned to go to their own business.
After the clerk left, Xing Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Feng, "Ah, sixty-five thousand Lubei, where can I get so much money, let's withdraw." ”
Yu Feng was also shocked at first when he heard this price, but he immediately thought that he was just a child in a small mountain village, and these things outside must be different from a bundle of firewood and some game in his hometown, and it was by no means a price that ordinary people in a mountain village could understand. In addition, this is also a weapon that can fight with people and take people's lives, maybe this is its true value and price.
Knowing the approximate price, the two walked out of the weapon shop, which seemed to be not suitable for the two of them right now. Both of them were uninformed outsiders, and they simply couldn't afford to pay the price, which was very expensive for them.
The two turned around and walked back, turning a corner at an intersection. "Do you say this gun is worth so much money, with our economic strength, how long will it take to buy this gun!" Xing Xuan continued to discuss the topic just now as he walked, as if he was a little unwilling in his heart.
"We have grown up so big, we have never been out of the mountain village, how do we know about the outside world. However, this kind of thing is meant to be used in battle, and it is related to personal life and death, so maybe it is really worth the money. Yu Feng looked at the buildings on both sides of the road and replied nonchalantly.
Xing Xuan nodded, thinking to himself. At this time, Yu Feng pointed to a shop on the side of the road, "Let's go there and have a look, we know some weapons, we should also take a look at this spell." ”
Xing Xuan followed the direction pointed by Yu Feng and saw a spell shop, "Okay, I always hear Fu Ping mention it, we don't know how amazing this is." Go in and see what is on sale here, and open your eyes. ”
Yu Feng and Xing Xuan walked into this spell shop, it seemed to be very large, because in the corner of the store, there were stairs leading to the second floor, I don't know how many floors there were.
Not far from the main entrance, there is a sign. The two of them looked closer, and some words were written on it:
Spells, magic, an incredible power, not as sharp as knives and guns, nor as thick and solid as armor. But it can also attack and defend, and it can help you everywhere in life. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it is full in our lives, permeating the heavens and the earth. Just listen with your heart, feel it quietly, and you will discover it.
In a short paragraph, it seems to be an interpretation of the spell, so that Yu Feng and Xing Xuan, who saw it, understood its meaning.
"I understood it a little, but after reading it, I didn't understand it even more. Xing Xuan said thoughtfully. Yu Feng on the side smiled and shook his head as well. "Don't think about it, let's go see what is sold here and find out. ”
The two of them continued to walk inside, and in front of the first row of shelves, there was a sign that read "Philosopher's Stone", and on the shelves, there were stones of different sizes. Some of the stones have signs similar to the introductions on the sides, but most of them don't. The two approached one of the stones with a sign on it and looked at it:
Icicle, Water Attack Spell, Mana Index: Three.
A few short words, the two of them did read half understood, obviously it was marked with a spell, but I don't know what this stone and the mana mentioned later mean. They looked at the other stones with signs and their markings, and saw that many of them were different spells.
At this time, one of the clerks in the store walked up to the two of them and said politely, "Do you two need to buy a Philosopher's Stone? ”
Xing Xuan didn't answer this, but asked, "How much does this magic stone cost?"
"Three hundred and fifty rubes here, and there are expensive ones behind, ranging from five hundred, eight hundred, one thousand, one thousand and fifteen, of course, the higher the price, the stronger the spell sealed inside. If you need to, you can take a look at the back, we have a full range of magic stones here, and the first floor is full of magic stones on display. The clerk introduced them to the two and invited them inside.
The two didn't go in again, they felt that even if they went in, they would walk around in vain, and they didn't understand what they saw. "Is there still upstairs, and what is sold on it?" Xing Xuan asked again.
"Oh, there's a magic scroll upstairs, and some well-made artifacts, do you want to go up and have a look?" the clerk's attitude was still respectful.
It's just that Yu Feng and Xing Xuan didn't pay much attention to him, and after asking about this, they left the shop. After the clerk saw the two of them walk out, he said to himself: "At first glance, they are two little people who have never seen the world, and they seem to be two guys who don't understand anything." ”
