Chapter 354: Pilsen City
Because for a long time, they were walking in the deserted wilderness trails. Therefore, the appearance of people will still arouse the curiosity of Lin and the others, especially the silver-bearded dwarves who have not seen so many humans.
Although Jermaine and Riley found a human village last time, it turned out that the 'people' inside were all ghosts and had malicious intentions. So that was really not a good experience, and it cannot be said that the life shown by those ghosts is exactly the same as that of real humans.
In view of this, after Jermaine approached the human gathering place, he put down all the work at hand and looked at everything curiously. Although the others were not as impatient as him, they also put an end to the matter at hand, and then hid things that should not be exposed to others.
Such actions are sometimes not for secrecy, but for the protection of others. Magic, like any knowledge, has two reactions from ignorant people: curiosity and fear. Either way, you will cause trouble to yourself or others.
In order to save trouble, Fen still directed other people to pack up their things and turn to some more static and less dynamic things. It was like hiding in the depths of a covered carriage, typing on a silent keyboard. She has no superfluous curiosity about the group of 'people' outside.
The group did not stop because of the curiosity of the dwarves. This was really because the four dwarves were dazzled by so many things they had never seen before. Especially after Jermaine made a few jokes recklessly, the dwarves were even more afraid to run around. Everything in the human world makes them feel strange, as if they will get lost in it at any time.
Lin and the other three masters and apprentices are no exception, because the various customs and habits in the west of the Midi Continent are quite different from those in the Southwest Peninsula. In particular, the difference in clothing is the most intuitive. Although it does not break out of the category of men wearing trousers and women wearing skirts, the subtle decorations, colors and patterns of clothing have great differences in the eyes of several women. respectively. Of course, the style of wearing is also different.
Kaya used one of the functions of the Arcane Eye to leave a photo and keep it in the space of the first coffin. Harumi took out her sketch book and quickly drew something that impressed her with charcoal.
The reason why the two girls had such a habit was developed during the time they lived in the Wulian City community. At that time, a certain lich was like a fashion fair, trying to find ways to appear in front of outsiders every day in different ways. Apart from herself, of course the two girls who helped with the outfit were the two girls who were girls at the time.
The original clothing sample is still from an otaku's sketch album full of two-dimensional style fantasies. Later, they cultivated their own vision, and began to break away from the original nest and develop their own style. Someone's delusion has become a reference point for reference only, and they no longer exactly reproduce the appearance in the picture book.
For someone, it would be nice to see it happen. It's better than being surrounded by scruffy people.
In addition to the difference in people, the scenery you see also gives people a feeling of peace of mind and peace. It originated from the outermost part of the city, the large tracts of farmland. When late spring enters summer, the crops that have sown seedlings are trying to raise their bodies, and the scene of green seedlings growing is very gratifying.
In Midi, the population of a city depends on its food production. In this world where transportation is not very convenient, it is the best situation for food to be produced and sold on its own.
The grain output depends on the area of farmland. Moreover, the land in this world is extremely fertile. If you find a piece of land and sow a handful of seeds, you will have a rich harvest in the coming year. The only thing restricting the area of farmland is actually the cruel nature of Midi, including the wild beasts and monsters that grow in it.
These creatures will not allow humans to develop and invade their homes. Even 'people' will become their hunting targets. Therefore, in order to ensure the number of farmers and the area of farmland, force is indispensable. And in terms of the guarantee of force, how many places can be stronger than the cities where magicians gather. These guarantees are also an important key to the development of Pilsen City.
And it's very interesting, judging from the historical documents that Lin was able to obtain, Midi has never caused a famine due to a "natural disaster". It's normal to think about it, after all, this is a world where magicians walk everywhere and druids are like dogs. Controlling plants, water, etc. may not be so simple, but it is by no means impossible. For those who are lost in praying for rain, as long as the Lord is willing to pay a lot of money, there will be no one who can't rain. This is very different from the earth.
But this does not mean that there is no famine in Midi. It's just that the causes of those disasters are all man-made disasters. Like the former Demon King beside her, in the early days of her reign, the Lost World was full of scorched earth polluted by undead natural disasters, and no crops could be grown at all.
In the following era, the cruelest aspect of war between countries was the tactic of cutting off food. In the confrontation of willpower competition, people like to praise those who are struggling in a difficult environment, whether it is a sacrifice in the end, or a reversal victory.
Although the purpose is to promote his loyalty and perseverance, the subtext is actually the cold meaning of "even if I starve to death, please achieve my strategic goal". Without being in it, I can't imagine what kind of **** scene it was.
But fortunately, no matter which world I was in, I was already far away from the era of intensive wars. Maybe in some corner of the world, there are still some conflicts, but at least you are safe. Now it seems that I have enough strength to guarantee my own safety.
For some reason, the mood suddenly became a little sad. Lin shook his head and focused his gaze on the roadside scenery again. There is less farmland, more houses, and more people on the road. And judging by his attire, he didn't look like he was going to do farm work.
After stopping a passerby, Lin asked Ming the direction to Pilsen Tower. No matter how a magician's city is built, the location of the magic tower is the real core
He would go straight to the location of the magic tower, naturally because the headquarters of the Pilsen Branch of the Magicians Association must be near there, even inside that magic tower. In the branch headquarters, you can find the reception desk, where you can get assistance for magicians or other guests from other places.
With such a service, it doesn't mean that Midi's humanistic care is better than Earth's, it's forced out. Just imagine who the main target audience of the Wizards Association is. If there are some local liars, they will slaughter people from other places as sheep. Guess whether the deceived magicians will cry and go to the police uncle, or call the door by themselves to recover their losses?
If it were on the earth, thieves and crooks would lure people into dark alleys, come to close the door and let the dogs go, and they could make more money from the victims. But in Lost Land, it is very common for a party with a large number of people to be tortured to death by a single magician. The one who laughs with a stick in a dark alley is not necessarily the one who laughs last.
Because related events emerge in endlessly. No matter how much you warn some brokers who earn extra money by serving magicians, don't treat Mages as easy targets. There are still some sneaky guys who lost their lives because of greed.
But if it's just that, then forget it. However, the methods of the Masters sometimes don't mean targeting anyone, but only hurting someone. Strange things exploded in the headquarters of the branch at every turn, how could those high-ranking adults bear it. The reception of the Wizards Association came into being.
The service personnel at the reception are usually served by reputable magic apprentices. Not only is it registered, but if the magician suffers losses due to those personnel, the supervisors will also come forward to investigate the whole story, and there is no need for the Magistrate to use lynching to recover. On the other hand, the presence of the inspector can also prevent the magician from making trouble for no reason and hurting the poor and innocent little apprentice.
The people at the reception can do simple consultations, and can also act as guides in the city, and sometimes they will do some brokerage business temporarily. If the price is right, reception to bed is not unacceptable.
But under normal circumstances, Faye would not look for women or men in this kind of place. What a joke, that is someone else's magic apprentice, and it is not uncommon for some secret tricks that the inspectors cannot come forward or investigate.
Being a receptionist will definitely have their own means of earning extra money, but it will not cause losses to the guests. When that happens, the punishment is pretty severe. For apprentices, this is easy and lucrative work. Of course, someone's apprenticeship has never been missed. To be able to serve as a receptionist in a divisional meeting, one must have some background.
But a little regret in the past is not enough to make someone afraid to use such a service. Otherwise, when you come to an unfamiliar place, your eyes will be darkened, and you will not know where to start, which will be even more inconvenient.
Keep going along the main road, not only the surroundings are getting more and more lively, but also those buildings that are famous in the lost world are also presented in front of you~www.readwn.com~ Large library, school palace, quite rare magic temple, It enshrines the eight gods who are in charge of power; there are also the Hall of Life, the Hall of Transformation, the Hall of Summoning, etc., each representing different schools of magic theories.
Looking at the palaces of various schools of magic that are comparable to the residences of kings or gods, Lin somewhat understands why the world of Lost Earth cannot develop pure theoretical knowledge such as mathematics. Perhaps at the beginning, the people of knowledge came here simply to seek refuge, but the knowledge they mastered had nothing to do with magic.
But two groups of smart people get together, how could there be no spark. Slowly, two different directions of knowledge intersect; slowly, knowledge gradually serves magic; slowly, knowledge and magic are equated. At this point, it can almost be concluded that technology is dead, and paper will be burned if something happens. Because if there is no need for magic, no one will care about it.
It can be said that although this city has gathered the most intelligent and intelligent people in the land, studying the most cutting-edge knowledge of 'magic', it has also stifled the possibility of the development of other cultures.
There is no way, who told this world to judge whether they can fight or not. c2, finally created a big mushroom, how long it took for the scientists to be despised by the group of people who only grow muscles but not brains, before they can stand up.
Thinking of this, looking at these splendid palaces, with endless streams of magicians and apprentices walking in them, someone felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The knowledge mastered by this half-baked magician is incompatible with this sacred place of knowledge. And what kind of destination does a fat house like myself have when thrown into this world? Or is this just a prank by someone?
