Because they have been walking on deserted wilderness trails for a long time, 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 bad intentions. So it was really not a good experience, and it cannot be said that those ghosts were
The life shown is exactly like real human beings.
In view of this, as soon as Jermaine approached the gathering place of humans, he put down all the work at hand and looked at everything curiously. Although the others were not as impatient as him, they also finished the things at hand, and then
Hide things that should not be exposed to others.
Such actions are sometimes not to keep secrets, but to protect others. Magic is the same as any knowledge. Ignorant people will only have two reactions: curiosity and fear. No matter which one, it will bring consequences to themselves or others.
Come and cause trouble.
In order to save trouble, Fen still directed others to pack up their things and do something more static and less noisy. Like hiding in the depths of the carriage and typing on the silent keyboard. She had no idea about the group of 'people' outside.
What unnecessary curiosity.
The group of people did not stop because of the curiosity of the dwarves. This was really because there were too many things they had never seen before, which dazzled the four dwarves. Especially after Jermaine made a few rash jokes,
The dwarves were even more afraid to run around. Everything in the human world felt strange to them, as if they could 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 Midi Continent are quite different from those in the southwest peninsula. Especially the difference in clothing is most intuitive, although it does not jump out from men wearing pants and women wearing pants.
Even within the scope of skirts, the subtle decorations, colors and patterns of clothing are very different in the eyes of several women. Of course, the styles of clothing are also different.
Kaya used one of the functions of the arcane eye to leave photos and keep them in the space of the first coffin. Halumi took out a sketch book and quickly drew things that impressed her with charcoal.
The reason why the two girls have such a habit was developed during the time they lived in Wulian City Community. At that time, a certain lich was like a costume expo, trying to change its tricks every day to appear in front of outsiders.
.In addition to herself, the two girls who helped organize the outfit were of course two girls at the time.
The original clothing samples came from a certain otaku's sketch album full of two-dimensional style fantasies. Later, they developed their own vision and began to break away from their original nest and develop their own style. Someone's delusion.
It has become a reference only, and they no longer exactly reproduce the appearance in the album.
For someone, it would be nice to see the success of this matter. It is better than having everyone around him look sloppy.
In addition to the differences in people, the scenery you see also gives people a sense of peace and calm. It comes from the vast tracts of farmland on the outskirts of the city. When late spring turns to summer, the crops sowing seedlings are working hard.
It is very gratifying to see the green seedlings grow when you lift yourself up.
In Midland, whether a city has a large or small population depends on its food production. In this world where transportation is not very convenient, the best situation is to produce and sell food by oneself.
The yield of food depends on the area of farmland. And the land in this world is extremely fertile. If you just find a piece of land and sow a handful of seeds, you will have a rich harvest in the coming year. The only thing that limits the area of farmland is actually the cruelty of the land. Nature, including the wild beasts and monsters that grow in it.
These creatures will not allow humans to develop and invade their homes. Even "humans" will become their prey. Therefore, if you want to ensure the number of farmers and the area of farmland, force is indispensable. And in force In terms of protection, how many places can be more powerful than a city where magicians gather. These guarantees are also an important key to the development of Pilsen City.
And a very interesting point, judging from the historical documents that Lin can obtain, there has never been a famine caused by a 'natural disaster' in Midland. Think about it, this is normal. After all, this is a place where magicians are everywhere and there are as many druids as dogs. The world. Controlling plants, water, etc. may not be that simple, but it is by no means impossible. Praying for rain in the lost land, as long as the Master is willing to put in the effort, there will be no rain. This is very different from the earth. same.
But this does not mean that there is no famine in the Lost Land. It is just that the causes of those disasters are man-made disasters. For example, the former Demon King beside me, in the early days of her reign, the scorched earth all over the Lost World was polluted by the undead and natural disasters. No crops can be grown.
In the following era, the most cruel aspect of the war between countries was the tactic of cutting off food. In the confrontation of willpower competition, people like to praise those who struggle in difficult circumstances, whether it is sacrifice or death in the end. Reversal victory.
Although the purpose is to promote its loyalty and perseverance, the subtext is actually a cold connotation of "even if you starve to death, please help me achieve the strategic goal." If you haven't been there, you can't imagine what it's like. hell scene.
Fortunately, no matter which world he is in, he has been far away from the era of intensive wars. Maybe there are still some conflicts in some corner of the world, but at least he is safe. Now it seems that he has enough strength. You can ensure your own safety.
I don't know why, but his mood suddenly became a little sad. Lin shook his head and focused his eyes on the scenery on the roadside again. There were fewer farmlands, more houses, and more people on the road. And look at their decorations. , nor does he look like he is preparing to do farm work.
After stopping a passerby, Lin Wenming headed in the direction of Pilsen Tower. No matter how a magician's city is built, the location of the magic tower is the real core.
You have to go straight to the location of the Magic Tower, naturally because the headquarters of the Pilsen District Branch of the Magicians Association must be nearby, or even in the Magic Tower. And at the branch headquarters, you can find the reception desk. For those who come from out of town, Magicians or other guests can get assistance there.
There is such a service, but it does not mean that the humanistic care of the Lost Land is better than that of the Earth. It is forced to come out. Just imagine who the main service targets of the Magician Association are. If some local swindlers use people from other places to They are all treated like sheep and slaughtered. Guess whether the deceived magicians will go to the police uncle crying, or they will knock on the door themselves to recover their losses?
If on Earth, thieves and swindlers lure people into dark alleys, close the door and let the dogs out, they can still make an extra sum of property from the victim. But in the Lost Land, the party with more people is tortured to death by a single magician. It's a very common thing. The person who laughs with a stick in a dark alley is not necessarily the one who laughs last.
Because related incidents emerge in endlessly. No matter how much you warn some brokers who make extra money by serving magicians, they must not regard the magicians as easy targets. There are still some sneaky guys who lose their own money because of greed.
Life.
But if that's all, then forget it. However, sometimes the methods of the masters are not meant to be targeted, but only hurt those. They often explode strange things in the headquarters of the branch. How can those high-ranking adults do it?
If you can bear it, the reception desk of the Magicians Association came into being.
The service staff at the reception desk are usually served by reputable magic apprentices. Not only are they registered, but if the magician suffers losses due to those personnel, the inspectors will also come out to investigate the whole matter. There is no need for the Master to use lynching to pursue the case.
On the other hand, having the inspector come forward can also prevent the magician from making trouble unreasonably and hurting the poor and innocent little apprentice.
The people at the reception desk can do simple consultations, and can also serve as guides in the city. Sometimes they can temporarily handle some brokerage transactions. If the price is right, it is not unacceptable to receive people on the bed.
But under normal circumstances, when mages are looking for women or men, they won’t look for them in places like this. Are you kidding me? They are other people’s magic apprentices, and they have been tricked by some secret tricks that the inspector cannot come forward or cannot investigate.
It's not something unusual either.
Being a receptionist will definitely have their own ways of making extra money, but it will not cause the guests to suffer losses. If something like that happens, the punishment will be quite severe. For apprentices, this is an easy and lucrative job. It is natural that someone's
During my apprenticeship, I have never been successful. To be able to serve as a receptionist in a branch office, you must have some background.
But the regrets in the past are not enough to stop someone from using such a service. Otherwise, it would be even more inconvenient to come to an unfamiliar place and not know where to start.
.
As we continue to advance along the main road, not only are the surroundings becoming more and more lively, but the buildings that are famous in the Lost World are also in front of us one by one. The large library, the academy, and the rather rare magic temple, which enshrine the power of
There are eight gods; there are also the Palace of Life, the Palace of Change, the Palace of Summoning, etc., each representing a different school of magic theory.
Looking at the palaces of various magic schools that were built to be comparable to the residences of kings or gods, Lin somewhat understood the reason why the world of Lost World could not develop pure theoretical knowledge such as mathematics. Perhaps in the beginning, intellectuals came here simply to seek refuge.
, however the knowledge they master has nothing to do with magic.
But how could two groups of smart people get together without sparks? Slowly, knowledge from two different directions intersected; slowly, knowledge gradually served magic; slowly, knowledge and magic became synonymous.
No. At this point, it can almost be concluded that technology is dead and paper is being burned. Because no one cares about anything that is not needed for magic.
It can be said that although this city has gathered most of the smart and talented people in the land to study the most cutting-edge 'magic' knowledge, it has also stifled the possibility of the development of other knowledge.
There is no way, who told this world to judge whether it can fight or not. From Newton's F=ma to Einstein's E=mc2, and finally the creation of giant mushrooms, scientists were criticized by those who only grew muscles but not brains.
How long does it take for a person to despise you before he can turn around?
Thinking of this, looking at these splendid palaces and the endless flow of magicians and apprentices walking among them, someone felt quite emotional in his heart. The knowledge he mastered as a half-time magician was incompatible with this holy land of knowledge.
And what kind of destination does a fat man like himself have when he is thrown into this world? Or is this just a prank by someone?
