Chapter 8 Gangbei Stronghold
After graduating from school at the age of twelve, Duck left Mohai City to go to the Jiangbei stronghold, and it has been several years now, and he has not returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info: According to the fat man's father, he is now working in the green building there.
Duck is a man with a story, his parents are ordinary people, but he lives in the North End because his mother is reluctant to move out of there. Duck rarely mentions his mother, but others say that she is an unscrupulous woman who hooks up with several hunters, and his parents often quarrel over this.
When Duck was twelve years old, his father came home from work outside the city when a man came out of his house, and his father got into an argument with the man and was injured, but he was angry and went out of the city alone and never returned.
It is not surprising that a man who works hard to make money outside, and when he comes home, his wife is cold to him, and only the residual warmth after the cheating is still left, and it is not surprising that he will do such an impulsive thing.
Duck received a compensation after his father's death, and he used the money to buy a ticket to the Jiangbei stronghold, and when he left Demon Sea City, he vowed to become a warrior and no longer be bullied like his father.
It is not easy to become a martial artist, especially in a situation where both parents are ordinary people, and it is more difficult than others, so it is not wrong for Duck to choose to go out of the city to try his luck.
The boat to the Jiangbei stronghold will not depart until half a month later, so Wang Zi'an is not in a hurry, and after saying goodbye to the fat man after dinner, he will go home by car.
Half a month passed quickly in cultivation, and Wang Zi'an ordered a big sword and a double-edged knife through the system, as well as a protective leather armor.
Both weapons are bladed, and they can only be taken out when they have to get to the city, and the bladed weapons are not allowed to be brought to the city, so the hunter will store the weapon in the system when he returns to the city, and the training in the city is a separate purchased unbladed weapon.
Wang Zi'an found the boatman task of the fleet that set off for the Jiangbei stronghold through the system, and the junior hunter has no money to complete the boatwork task, but he can save a ticket money, which is a good choice for the poor to go to the stronghold outside the city.
The next day, before dawn, Wang Zi'an finished his cultivation, felt his physical state, and after half a month of cultivation, his strength grew a little stronger, and his soul and true qi had also accumulated a little thicker, but there was still a distance from the next level.
I went downstairs with the package I had packed in advance, packed breakfast downstairs and took the car directly to the north gate of Mohai City, and soon came to the city gate.
The entire city of Demon Sea City is surrounded by thick city walls, the width and height of the city walls are thirty meters, and a moat two hundred meters wide is surrounded by the outside of the city wall, separating the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.
After receiving the ordered weapons and leather armor at the city gate, he walked out of the city gate for ten minutes and saw the dock, where the fleet was already waiting, and there were twenty galleons.
Wang Zi'an looked back at the Demon Sea City, this was the first time he looked at the Demon Sea City outside the city, only to see that this mountain-like city was surrounded by a moat as if it was located in the sea, this may be the origin of the name Demon Sea City.
It was the first time he had left the mountain-like walls to face the unknown dangers outside the city. Unconsciously waving goodbye, he knew that from now on a peaceful life would be farther and farther away from him.
Hurry to the dock, where the fleet is already waiting, and after reporting to the registration office, they are arranged to do the handling work. Junior hunters can't do anything other than manual work such as carrying and lifting, and the technical work is done by special boatmen, and the guards are not strong enough.
The goods have long been stacked at the wharf, except for the grain, vegetables and fruits that are transported from the west and south of the city, most of the other items are made by the handicraft workshops in the north of the city, which is also a gathering place for handicraft workshops, and every month the goods brought back by the fleet from the hunter's stronghold will be handcrafted into finished products in the handicraft workshops here, and some of the finished products will be transported back to the stronghold by the fleet.
Unlike the modernization inside the city, everything outside the city seems primitive, and all the work has to be done by manpower, just like going back to before the age of steam.
After the domination of robots, humans have no intention of researching how to make mechanical equipment that has long been destroyed by robots, but instead focus on how to strengthen themselves.
Outside the Demon Sea City, in addition to the workshop area in the north of the city, the south of the city is the grain production area, the west of the city is the vegetable and fruit production area, and the east of the city is a lake, it is said that this lake is transformed from Taihu Lake, and there is a powerful creature living in the lake, even the strong people in the later stage are not willing to provoke it, of course, it is not clear whether it is true or false.
Although the earth was almost transformed beyond recognition in the era of robot domination, rivers were diverted, and cities were destroyed, there are still traces of great natural creations like the five lakes and five mountains, and they cannot be completely changed.
After carrying the goods, they were arranged to rest on a cargo ship, and the next journey was still very long, because the departure journey was against the current, so many trips had to rely on boatmen to row, and even docked on the shore when the wind was strong, and only set off when the wind was light.
The departure was just tailwind, and the fleet quickly left the dock under the control of the captains and set off for the Jiangbei stronghold. The Demon Sea City in his eyes is gradually shrinking and blurring, and the workshops on both sides of the strait are gradually replaced by giant trees in the barren forest.
It didn't take long for the fleet to sail into the river, the predecessor of the river was the Yangtze River, the fleet went against the current, and soon someone arranged for Wang Zi'an to go rowing, so two days later, the fleet finally arrived at the Jiangbei stronghold.
After the ship docked, the task of carrying the goods down the dock was completed, and after walking with the crowd for more than ten minutes, he came to the Jiangbei stronghold.
It is said that it is a stronghold, but it is better to say that it is a small city, only to see that the whole stronghold is surrounded by stones with a wall seven or eight meters high, and there are guards on the wall, and there is only one door in the whole stronghold, and the plaque on the door is engraved with the words "Jiangbei stronghold".
As soon as I entered the gate, a group of people from the inn gathered around to solicit customers, introducing the advantages of their shop. Wang Zi'an asked the location of the Qinglou and came directly to the Qinglou, he wanted to learn about the situation here with the duck first.
There is only one Qinglou in Jiangbei Stronghold, and Qinglou is of course a place to do business in Qinglou. Wang Zi'an looked at the Qinglou and saw that it was taller than the shops on both sides, and there was a gold-lettered signboard hanging on the door, with the words "Qinglou" written on it.
It was noon, and there weren't many customers in the green house. As soon as Wang Zi'an walked in the door, a waiter greeted him warmly, and after explaining his intention, he politely asked Wang Zi'an to wait at the door. After a while, a thin figure hurriedly walked over.
Wang Zi'an recognized the duck at a glance, and his small almond eyes and the big mouth that could be stuffed into his fist were unforgettable. Although the duck looks like a clown, it is not annoying and only makes people feel happy. At least Wang Zi'an thinks that the duck should be a good person like this, and it is not suitable to do bad things, otherwise others will remember him at a glance.
