The numbers of the electronic clock on the glass curtain wall are constantly passing.
The military reception desk was a little different from Luo Hao's imagination. He originally thought that it should be monotonous and boring, extremely lacking in personality and freedom, as if it were the old style of the last century. The people working here should also be a group of people who emphasize discipline.
, a 'replicant' who is incompatible with society, at least that's what he thought.
But I didn't expect that the decoration style of the office here is quite bright, with bright color blocks, a modern and simple style, decorated with lily and bamboo potted plants, and a whole glass curtain wall with posters from Aitalia and others.
Promotional posters for major guilds and star players.
On the table below were some secondary peripherals, as well as life-size cardboard figures of celebrity players. It was almost like the venue he had been to for the BBE Guild's offline meeting with fans, and it was even better.
The person who initially brought him here was not the stern and rigid staff member as imagined, but a very friendly young lady. Luo Hao felt that military uniforms could look so good for the first time, so he betrayed his original class aesthetics without any moral integrity.
These small details invisibly made him feel less awkward, and he couldn't help but secretly think that the military's work was not so inefficient in this matter.
The recruitment season for military selectors has long passed. He is a "transfer student" as the saying goes. It is generally an exclusive channel for talents, but it has been abused in many places for personal connections. During the recruitment season, the people in this hall
There must be a lot of them, but now it's deserted and he's the only one.
After Luo Hao looked around curiously, he began to feel a little bored.
Right in front of the hall is a huge projection screen, which is repeatedly playing some video information about Aitaria. However, the content on it is a bit too old. They are all classic battles and goggles. Luo Hao has long been elsewhere.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it.
He stood there with his suitcase, and couldn't help but think a little boredly that there seemed to be a Silver Forest Crown game today. Although the Silver Forest Crown and BBE were also old enemies, at least in external situations, he was still loyal to China.
A supporter of the team.
It is said that Kun, the All-Seeing One of the Crown of the Silver Forest, is preparing to retire. Some people saw him appearing in the first world. Generally, top selectors will only go to the first world to lead new recruits before retiring, and then they will
He gradually faded out of the public eye and turned to the administrative work of the club.
This is not good news for Silver Crown.
As a die-hard fan of BBE, Luo Hao doesn't have a good impression of kun, but he sees that the star players who once created a brilliant generation in the Chinese competition area are gradually leaving the competition, and there are few newcomers who can shoulder the responsibility.
People still feel somewhat desolate in their hearts.
Time waits for us.
Luo Hao suddenly felt a sense of mission.
Just as he was sighing with emotion, the picture on the big screen suddenly changed, and a tall and thin man appeared. Luo Hao took a look and found that he was actually an acquaintance, a scenery anchor he was familiar with, whose ID was Wandering Maer.
This person travels around Aitaria as a tourist, experiencing the local customs, introducing historical stories, and occasionally goes on thrilling adventures with the adventure group deep into the mountains and forests. Because of his unique perspective,
He has attracted many fans and can be said to be the first anchor of this type.
Wandering Ma seems to be adjusting the picture. His iconic, gentle face, wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses, is a bit bookish. It is said that he was a full-time reporter before entering the anchoring industry, because his integrity and editor-in-chief had some problems.
They disagreed on the issue, so they resigned angrily and started a promising career as a freelance anchor.
Unexpectedly, it has been a smooth journey and we have achieved what we have today.
"Hello everyone," Wandering Ma greeted everyone first. "First of all, I would like to thank the Super Competitive Alliance and the Elpaxin Artisan Association for giving me this opportunity to conduct this live broadcast task. Friends who are familiar with my live broadcast
You should have noticed what is behind me."
As he spoke, he turned the camera angle behind him. A bustling street appeared in his field of vision. Not far away was a row of shops. But you could tell where it was by looking at the classical architectural style. Luo Hao even went one step further and recognized it.
Kaulin-Ithurian residential architectural style.
Not to mention that there were a few elves looking around at the entrance of the store. The fruit shop not far from them was filled with rows of dragon blood fruits, a specialty of Aquin, in gold and red. There were piles of fruits from Istani in the boxes below.
Asia's Magic Grapes.
On the blackboard propped on the ground next to it, the discount price of the day was written in chalk with chalk, but it was in Ithurian. Of course, Luo Hao, who had not synchronized with Xinghui, could not understand a single word.
The street is paved with distinctive white stone slabs. There are many pedestrians in the distance, and the shadow of the magic train passes overhead from time to time. Further away, colorful hanging curtains hang from the classical buildings on both sides of the road, making it look very special.
Festive atmosphere.
The distant view is a blue sky, sea of clouds, and a floating tower.
Luo Hao recognized it at a glance. This was Elpaxin. Although there were hundreds of small and large towns in Aitaria, Elpaxin was the crown of the North, the largest port city in Alquin, and the leader in the shipbuilding industry.
Both are still very recognizable.
He was just a little strange. Wandering Horse had already photographed El Pasin several times, so why did he come here again? Although his shooting techniques and angles were novel, the audience would always be bored.
After all, there are still many places to go in Aitaria.
At this time, the wandering horse on the big screen retracted its perspective and said: "You should have noticed that this is El Paxin. Yes, we have been to this place several times. The history and story of El Paxin
, as well as the local customs, special snacks and even several famous local attractions, everyone who needs to be introduced already knows almost everything.”
At this point, he gave up and paused for a moment before continuing: "But this time, we have a special mission when we come back here."
As the wandering horse spoke, he raised his angle of view, allowing Luo Hao to see the colorful hangings, as well as a large number of colorful hot air balloons decorating outside the market, as well as the people passing through the street in the distance.
Clowns and celebratory processions.
"Have you all seen it? You may think this is El Paxin's harvest celebration. Although the time is indeed very close, it is not. This time, we are here for"
A sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.
This attracted Luo Hao's attention and made him look away from the live broadcast. He turned around and heard a complaining voice coming from outside:
"Captain, why are you inserting people into my place? Yes, yes, yes. I know this is the order of the old superior. It is impossible for him to engage in malpractice for personal gain. But as for the people below, there is no guarantee that there will not be good and bad guys. You know, the old man
Superiors trust people too easily."
"What, you said that guy is very talented, have you seen his test results? Don't be kidding, captain, have you seen that guy's physical examination report? That guy weighs a full 180 pounds. I
Guess he couldn't even pass the physical fitness test."
"...The chosen ones don't need those things, but we are an army here after all, and we have to follow the rules. Discipline comes first? Okay, okay, you have the final say, I will see who this guy is. That's it.
Well, I’ll treat you to dinner when you come back.”
The man seemed to have turned off the communicator, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Luo Hao took a breath and felt a little nervous for the first time.
At the same moment, in Aitaria, Port Elpahim
Wandering Ma almost finished his live broadcast. He finally showed the beautiful scenery of El Paxin to the new viewers who entered the live broadcast room, taking the entire street into the screen.
In the camera lens, a big human boy, a tall lion man, and a Papalar man were passing by the fruit and vegetable shop. The latter was clamoring for something to eat, which attracted several elves nearby to look at him.
This strange combination attracted the wandering horse to take another look. While not forgetting his own job, he introduced to the audience:
"Have you seen it, a Papalar? This ethnic group is still very rare in Aquin. After all, the winter here is very cold. I should have told you that the Papalar are generally afraid of the cold, but I don't know.
Is that a chosen one? And the lion man is also very interesting. The Lotao lion man is really rare outside the golden field. This live broadcast is here for the time being. Next, we will meet at the craftsman general meeting.
,Goodbye, everyone."
He selected a few lucky viewers in the live broadcast room, gave away prizes, and watched the enthusiastic atmosphere among the fans before closing the live broadcast with satisfaction.
But when he went to look for that strange combination, the other party had already disappeared. The wandering horse shook his head and didn't care, and walked to a special area on the street. Not long after, a huge ray with a soft sedan on its back came.
It fell from the sky and landed next to him.
"Sir, where are you going?" The driver, a little monster, asked with a flattering look on his face.
"Street 1017."
"Ah, I know that place, the Craftsmen's Association!"
At the same moment that the wandering horse left, Fang Plover was stopping in front of the door of an alchemy shop. Behind him, the lion-man Red paid the bill to the fruit and vegetable shop owner before carrying the Papalar man.
Followed.
He really held Puck in his hands with his paws, and the latter was so angry that he kicked his short legs in mid-air and screamed that he wanted to kick him with his pointed boots. But the lion-man's hands were too long, and the Papalar man
This move is of no use at all.
"Put me down, the Papalars are going to be angry!" Parker yelled.
The lion man held his chin with his broad paws, looked at the little one curiously and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, no, play it gently and slowly, ouch!" Parker fell to the ground before he could finish his words.
Fang Yu looked back and couldn't help but shook his head.
They came to El Paxin and rested for two days. There seemed to be endless things to deal with during these two days, which made him realize that adventure and travel are not just fantasy and romance, but there are countless things behind them.
The trivial troubles and details, various procedures and preparations, making plans for the next trip to Grande, purchasing supplies, and dealing with all kinds of people in the middle.
Miss Scarpet had taken care of all this before, and Fang Pliong had never known that these things would consume so much energy.
But it is not all without gain. At least I have learned a lot, and I have learned to distinguish who is reliable and who is a third-rate liar. In Aitaria, every time an adventurer goes to a place, he must interact with these intermediaries.
deal with.
Although there are formal organizations such as the Kaolin Merchant Alliance, there are also many gray areas where three religions and nine streams cannot see the light.
After two days, Fang Yu felt that he had grown a lot. At least he felt that he would no longer fall for Miss Scarpet's tricks. Sure enough, such a thing as food and accommodation must be the beginning of a huge conspiracy.
But what opened Fang Plover's eyes was that the big cat Red next to him was like an encyclopedia in the city. He was not a local in El Paxin, but there was nothing he couldn't find here, and there was no
People he can't see.
Cautious and keen, he makes decisions before acting, and all the deceptions in the market turn into little tricks that can be revealed in a few words in front of him. Sometimes the lion man is personable, sometimes he is calculating, it is so ever-changing, and Fang Plover has no idea how the other party does it.
.
Whenever he asked this question, the lion man took off the pipe from his big mouth and held it in his hand. At the same time, he looked into the distance unfathomably and told him in a light tone: "The wind tells me the answer, little boy.
"
"wind?"
"It is the wind that wanders freely and everywhere. They bring the breath of the harbor, the majesty of the mountains and the whispers of the forest leaves. They move around, like an elder, looking at the world with a long eye. When you have seen enough,
That’s enough understanding.”
The lion man turned over the pipe, tapped the bottom of the pot with his paw, knocked out the ashes and asked, "Do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Fang Yu said frankly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter," Rhett laughed heartily, his mane trembling: "One day you will understand. As for now, you still need to learn, little boy."
Fang Yu understood this sentence clearly, and that's exactly what he did.
On the third day after arriving in Elpaxin, they finally took some time out from their busy schedule. The ladies went shopping at Tian Lan's suggestion, and Ji Ta also wanted to go to the Silver Tower's large library to inquire about the Dragon Worship Cult and that...
Additional information about brooches.
And he planned to take this opportunity to go to the Craftsmen's Association to complete his formal craftsman assessment. Fortunately, the elf girl was a frugalist who believed in Amaya, so there was no need for the boys to help carry big and small bags.
It was just that Parker clamored for a treat, so he had to bring out the oil bottle. Attila was worried about the two of them, so she asked Red to follow him.
Only Luo Yu was busy repairing the platform and looking for a new beast of burden, so he didn't follow them.
The Artisan General Assembly is at Street 1017, which is El Paxin's legendary Thousand Streets Level. The magic train they ride on is pulled by a heavy locomotive and can directly reach that place. However, Fang Plover chose to get off the train at the middle level.
Because he had previously heard from an intermediary that there was a famous alchemy shop here.
The middle-level street is about several kilometers long, spanning several squares, suspended in the functional area of El Paxin, adjacent to the Magisters Association. When they asked local residents in the square, they learned that there was a historical store here.
A long-established alchemy and magic shop.
But a magic shop with a long history does not mean that it is large. Fang Plover almost found the place after asking all the way. The Alchemy and Magic Shop is located in a winding alley. From the outside, it almost looks like a residential house, but the first floor is
There is a glass showcase displaying some of the current fashionable magic tools.
For example, there are several models of clockwork fairies and the latest central nervous system series magic furnaces, including the AE model specially designed for combat craftsmen that they saw at Traveler's Rest.
Fang Plover looked at the hanging signboard 'Mithril Castle Magic and Alchemy', and then he was convinced that he was in the right place, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The lion man and Parker, who was looking around curiously, followed him in.
