Chapter 6 Crowds
After eight days of rafting in the river, I gradually broke through the jungle as there were fewer and fewer trees in front of me. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the wide meadow and the rolling hills in the distance, Sun Gang was still a little excited in his heart, and he was finally about to see the people.
There are humans in the jungle, but are they simply savages? There are a few leaves tied around their waists, and they are long black and thin, more like monkeys than humans.
The primitive production cooperation, there is no trace of civilization at all, which makes Sun Gang unable to discern which world he is in.
Only outside the jungle, a society with traces of civilization, can Sun Gang understand the degree of civilization in this world.
At least in Sersi Mitya's Flower House, Sun Gang did not find any glass, plastic and rubber objects, but there were many pottery items, and the production was very exquisite.
But Sercy Mitya is not a normal person at all, is it okay? The objects she uses are not the basis for judging the world at all.
When Sun Gang finished resting and flew up from the raft again, Sun Gang's keen perspective allowed Sun Gang to spot the small white dots moving in the sky, and the curling smoke coming from the side.
Sun Gang flew straight in the direction of the white dot, is this animal a cow? Sun Gang is not sure. It looks like a cow, and the two horns on the top of the head are crossed upwards and look like antlers.
No matter what, it's like a cow. The strange white cow didn't arouse Sun Gang's interest, Sun Gang was interested in the smoking house not far away.
It is said that the house is a little rudimentary, with a wall made of large stones, a simple gate made of logs, and a roof made of thin stone slabs.
In the courtyard there was a man and a woman, the man was more than two meters tall, with big eyes and a beard, brown-red hair, bulging muscles, and he looked like he was about to tear his clothes. The man was wielding an axe to chop wood, and the blade of the axe reflected a cold light.
The woman's cheekbones are very high, and because of long-term sun exposure, her skin is slightly reddish, and her hair is slightly dry. The woman kept stirring a milk in a wooden barrel, making a clanging sound.
The woman is also very tall, and because she squats on the ground and works, it is difficult to judge the specific height.
Sun Gang took a closer look at the clothes and utensils worn by the man and woman, and couldn't help but sigh, it didn't look like his past world, but a bit like the Western Middle Ages.
But fortunately, Sun Gang didn't have much nostalgia in the past world, and there were too many rules and regulations, which invisibly bound everyone.
Since I am fortunate to be able to jump out, I will be at peace when I come, and see what kind of excitement this different world has.
When a man and a woman spotted the big bird in the air and pointed below, Sun Gang turned his wings and flew towards the river.
Sersi and Sun Gang traveled all the way east along the river, and Sercy's teacher lived in the sea on the east side, in the famous Devil's Reef area.
The reason why it is said to be Devil's Reef is because there is only a bare reef, no soil, no water source, not a single plant.
There are countless reefs and rapids underneath the water, and there are bloodthirsty sharks in the water. It has always been taboo for local fishermen to enter this area, and it is almost impossible for fishing boats to enter this area.
Before arriving at the teacher's residence, Sersi needs to pass through the largest city by the sea, Full Moon Bay.
The whole city is built around the bay, countless large ships dock on the docks along the coast, and the white sails are connected with the white clouds on the horizon.
The pier is made of granite rock, and the position of the mooring has been worn out with a deep strangulation mark due to the use of the mooring.
Shirtless sailors and white-turbaned merchants are busy, and many small vendors are hawking around with baskets of seasonal snacks and fruits, making it like a bazaar.
Sun Gang looked blankly, this was the first time he had seen so many people get together since he arrived in this world. Sun Gang was even in a trance. I don't know if it's an illusion, Sun Gang feels that he seems to be able to see through everyone's hearts and perceive people's inner thoughts.
There is a line parallel to the ground above everyone's head, and this line is reflected in concrete life, that is, everyone's gaze, and everyone is affected by their gaze. People follow the guidance of their gaze, move forward or backward, and then fulfill themselves in the gaze of the other person.
The raft "banged" and gently hit the stone revetment on the shore, and Sun Gang suddenly woke up from this state, and it turned out that he had already docked.
Sersi Mitya's raft is docked in the middle of a huge merchant ship, and the contrast is created by the small raft, like the difference between a giant and a baby.
The Full Moon Bay Pier is divided into six areas, and there are six tax collectors. Sercy's raft came along the riverbank, and the place to stop was on the west side of the riverbank.
The tax officer in charge of this area is named Huai Shenglei. It is a middle-aged man with a small stature, dark eyes, and a white face. It is said to be the younger brother of an underground lover of the castle lord.
Because his sister was unrelentingly blowing the wind on the pillow, the city lord gave him this oily and watery position.
Huai Shenglei was born into a dilapidated family, his father worked as a low-level veterinarian, breeding cattle and sheep and abusing the genitals of male animals for a living, and his mother's early death prevented him from completing basic education and mixed with a group of idle scoundrels early.
I learned to drink and gamble, extort money, and rob the money of **. Originally, it was the fate of dying on the street, but after Huai Shenglei's sister became the underground lover of the city lord, it changed.
Since Huai Shenglei's sister gave birth to a son to the city lord, her own status has also risen, and she finally put the position of tax official under the name of her younger brother by relying on the constant pillow wind.
Relying on a pair of eyes that he has cultivated in the market since he was a child, he knows that those people can be offended and which people cannot be provoked, and Huai Shenglei has done the position of tax official without leakage.
As soon as Sersi Mitya's raft docked on the riverbank, Huai Shenglei noticed that in Huai Shenglei's eyes, in addition to nobles and samurai, the last thing to mess with was these wizards and mages.
Because of the resident wizards' guild in Full Moon Bay, there are often wizards coming and going, Mitya is dressed as a witch, and the raft that can be driven without sails, and the huge crows on the raft, at first glance, it is an existence that cannot be provoked, many wizards are proficient in poisons and curses, and they don't know how you will die if you provoke them.
Now was not the time to sit in the shade of a tree with a wine glass, Huai Shenglei hurriedly hailed a carriage that looked the most luxurious on the dock, and he stood respectfully on the shore, waiting for the venerable wizard to disembark.
Sercy Mitya's raft docked to the shore, and with a slight wave of his hand, the vines at the front of the raft grew like snakes, tightly wrapped around the stone stakes of the cable tie on the shore, and held the raft firmly in place.
The raft still needs to be used, there is no way, if you hire a boat, when it comes to the Devil's Reef, no fisherman will go there. Over the years, Serci Mitya has driven her own raft to the Devil's Reef.
"Welcome, great adults and villains at your disposal. ”
After going ashore, Sersi looked at Huai Shenglei, who was standing aside, with his head down to his knees, and just said:
"I'll stay for a few days, the raft is docked here". There are no pronouns, and there are no polite words.
For Sersi, as a seventh-level powerful wizard, if he is willing to serve the royal family, he can easily obtain the position of a city lord in the Violet Principality, and for this kind of little person in front of him, he really can't raise his spirit to pay attention to.
"Please rest assured that the great adults, the small ones will guard your raft like their own eyes," Huai Shenglei responded busily.
Sercy didn't even look at the man who looked like a white pig in front of him, and he even felt a trace of disgust for this flattering little minion who was eager to kneel down and lick his boots, and it was an insult to himself to say one more word.
took out a veil and put it on his face, beckoned the double-wheeled carriage that Huai Shenglei had prepared a long time ago, and said to the groom who was driving:
"To the Wizards' Guild"
Carrying a small wooden box, he stepped into the car, and he didn't look at Huai Shenglei from beginning to end.
Sun Gang is naturally a fox and a fake tiger, a crow is full of music, step by step, head high, looking at the sky at an angle of forty-five with a big mouth, but his eyes are turning faster, looking a little thief.
It seems that wizards in this world are doing well, as a little person who has been crawling at the bottom for 30 years, Sun Gang is extremely envious of the privileged class scolding moths.
Coming to this new world, Sun Gang feels that his past ideas are collapsing, and new concepts are constantly being established.
Sun Gang carefully observed the carriage, fortunately, the horse was a serious horse, almost the same as what he saw in his previous life, but he was taller.
Four adults sat in the carriage and it was more than enough, Sun Gang tried to sit for a while, a little sad, the natural structure of the crow is not suitable for sitting, there is no place to put the feathers behind the tail, the height in the carriage is enough, you still stand.
For wizards, the organization and management of wizards' guilds has always been loose, more like a service organization for wizards.
Every big city has a wizard's guild, where wizards can complete level certifications, get the news they want to know through money, buy scrolls, potions and magic weapons, sell and exchange magic items, and issue quests, in short, this place can meet most of the needs of wizards.
The Wizards' Guild in Full Moon Bay is more like an ancient castle, a four-story white stone building. A pointed dark gray roof, topped by a carved ornament of a golden staff, symbolizing Mystra, the goddess of magic, glittering in the sun.
The carriage crosses an avenue paved with gray rocks, the road is not very wide, and the two carriages can miss it, and the shrubs along the road are neatly built, and the ancient trees not far away show the long history of the road.
The carriage drove into the guild, and Sercy Mitya tossed a silver coin and landed safely into the coachman's hand.
When Huai Shenglei requisitioned the carriage, the coachman was still sighing unlucky, and this time it was a day job. The nickname "White Pig" doesn't sound scary, but the driver knows that this pig eats people, and will wipe the blood from his mouth after eating.
Recently, this pig has become more and more ruthless, and most of his monthly income has fallen into his pocket.
The coachman didn't expect to be rewarded with an unexpected reward, and the price of one silver coin could make the carriage run around Full Moon Bay for a whole day.
The mouth that was missing a tooth couldn't close its smile: "May the goddess of magic be with you, great wizard." ”
