Chapter 104 Resurrection Tower
On the way to the hotel, Hank enthusiastically introduced the city to Xiao Lin, about the purpose of each area, the distribution of the city and the distribution of the population.
"New Washington is a global city, with embassies everywhere in the world. Even among the natives of the Norma world, it enjoys a high reputation. Here you can find elves, beasts, dwarves and local Norma humans." Hank's tone was full of pride.
"How to manage so many races? Wouldn't it cause chaos?" Xiao Lin seemed surprised. He didn't see too many people from other races along the way. Of course, he might have been temporarily scared away by the previous golden dragon.
"American arrogance!" Song Junlang hummed somewhat disdainfully and corrected: "To be more precise, it should be said that he is a naturalized citizen of other races."
"Naturalized people?"
Song Junlang explained casually: "We are indeed the invaders of this world, but for hundreds of years of history, we have not been engaged in colonial wars every day. The so-called war is just a continuation of politics. When we get what we want, the next step is naturally peace."
Hank laughed: "Naturalized people are the common name for everyone, usually referring to the Norma people who defect to us, and they have all races. They farm, buy, sell and live within our jurisdiction, pay taxes, and are naturally protected by the Arbitrator Academy."
"I understand, it's really the traitor of Norma... aren't you worried about their rebellion? After all, you have destroyed the entire country!" Xiao Lin asked again.
Hank didn't understand the word "Norma" very much. He turned his head and thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out. So he continued: "There must be basic precautions. These people are all concentrated in the civilian areas of the outermost area of New Washington. And with the Dragon Eagle Knights here, no one dared to foolishly launch a rebellion. By the way, I would like to remind you that it's better not to go to civilian areas to circumvent the civilian areas, as the public security there is a little bit worse."
Xiao Lin looked at Song Junlang: "We also have a traitor in Dawn City. Oh no, is he a naturalized citizen?"
Minister Song smiled bitterly and said, "There are, but there are not many. It is far from reaching the scale of New Washington."
Hank also knew this well and explained with a smile: "Your Dawn City is not as good as us. Dawn City is surrounded by the sea. The only two races bordering are the mermaids and orcs. The orcs are incompetent, and the entire race is warlike. It is difficult to talk about peace with them, let alone be our naturalized people."
"Where is the mermaid clan?"
Song Junlang said with a bad expression: "Mermaids? This race has no brains at all!"
Recalling that Song Junlang seemed to have some grudges with the mermaids, Xiao Linben wisely skipped the topic, pointing to the towering spire in the center of the city. He asked, "What is that?"
This silver-white tower is not big, sharp-shaped. It is solid, obviously not for climbing. Moreover, the tower has no external objects, the surface is extremely smooth and shines brightly in the bright sunlight. This tower is the tallest building in the city, taller than the teleportation platform. It just stands alone in the imperial palace in the central area, which looks a bit strange.
"This is the Resurrection Tower. Do you even know this?" Hank did not mock him. He was purely surprised. After realizing that Xiao Lin was just a freshman, he spread his hands at Song Junlang and said seriously: "I think you should explain it to your students. The Resurrection Tower is the most important thing for us."
Facing Xiao Lin's curious gaze, Song Junlang put his thoughts away from the issue of the mermaid tribe just now and explained helplessly: "I once told you that the law of immortality of the colonists was forcibly changed through the pioneers, but resurrection itself also needs a certain medium to achieve. Otherwise, even if you have surplus health points, you will only float in another world as a soul state after death. After a long time, you will also return to nothingness and chaos. The Resurrection Tower is the medium for resurrection. Within the scope of the Resurrection Tower, death will only deduct health points."
This is the first time Xiao Lin has heard of this: "There is still scope limit for the Resurrection Tower, so what if it exceeds the scope?"
"Then there is no way to be resurrected immediately. Unless someone who is proficient in the discipline of undead finds your soul and brings it back, in most cases, your result will only be nothingness, which is death in the usual sense!"
After a pause, Song Junlang added: "Remember one thing that our colonies are measured by the Resurrection Tower. As long as the area covered by the Resurrection Tower is the area we actually dominate. In these places, it is difficult for the Norma natives to defeat us! And in the past century, including now, all our colleges are doing, in fact, to open up land and slowly cover more Resurrection Towers to the wider Norma area. This is the true meaning of colonization."
Hank then said: "Although there is only one Resurrection Tower in New Washington, it is super large. In addition to covering the city, it also includes areas within dozens of miles around the city, so you don't have to worry about safety at all."
Xiao Lin listened very seriously. He really had too many things he didn't understand about the new world. Only when they really arrived at the new world would someone explain these things specifically to them.
No wonder the Judgment Academy is so relieved to those aliens in New Washington City. Within the scope of the Resurrection Tower, those people probably dare not even be rebellious. After all, the rules of the Resurrection Tower can only be aimed at colonists with the Academy's imprint.
The hotel Xiao Lin and his friends were going to be located in the living area. The living area and the civilian area were functionally the same, providing residence and many daily facilities. The difference is that the civilian area is a concentration of naturalized people, while the living area is specially built for colonists. Therefore, whether it is infrastructure buildings or services in all aspects, the living area is the best area in the entire New Washington, second only to the Central Palace.
The living area is close to the palace, which is the earliest remodeled place. New Washington has been expanded several times in history. Other areas were newly built later. The living area and the palace area are the oldest places, and there are still many buildings from the Thunder Kingdom that year.
