Chapter 8 Cro City

Seven days after the last emergency landing, a brand new human-powered aircraft was completed again.

Based on the previous experience, the center of gravity of the aircraft was adjusted, and the wings were changed from pure wooden wings to wings with a wooden frame wrapped in pigskin, which is lighter.

A flat path was dug along the river, specially prepared for the landing of planes. Theoretically, once you go out, you don't have to come back, but you still leave this runway just in case.

It can fly out of the dense forest at the speed of a human-powered aircraft in about an hour, but considering the poor load capacity, there are not many things that can be prepared before departure.

A bow, two barrels of arrows, three days' worth of food, and about 1 kilogram of gold nuggets were all that I carried with me when I set out.

Although it is said that there will be no problems if the durability reaches zero, it is still customary to check all parts of the human-powered aircraft.

The performance of each component is good, the ejector is twisted normally, the weapon and food are confirmed to be correct, and eject!

Pull the buckle, and the human-powered aircraft is shot into the sky like a huge arrow.

Stamp the pedal back and forth violently and pull the control rod to the bottom. The power of the pedal is transmitted to the propeller through the gear and chain. The rudder steadily maintains the elevation angle of the nose of the aircraft at ten degrees.

It wasn't until the human-powered aircraft climbed to an altitude of three thousand meters that it changed its direction and flew steadily toward the northwest.

It was already noon, and the hot air rising from the sun shining on the ground brought extra lift to the aircraft.

While operating the rudders of the aircraft, use the rising turbulent airflow to adjust the altitude while carefully identifying the direction.

About an hour later, the dense forest below began to loosen up, and a large plain appeared on the horizon, and there were even a few houses scattered in various places.

Great, we finally left this ghost place. According to the map, we should go a little further to the city of "Kerry". Pull the joystick, aim the nose of the plane diagonally downward and accelerate.

Wait, is it really okay to fly there like this?

Is it really okay to go to a strange world and a strange society so rashly?

Land the plane on the top of the tree, hide the plane with the tree canopy, and then climb down the tree.

The plane is too conspicuous, so it's better to be careful.

There is still about a kilometer to go after leaving the forest. You can reach the city of "Kerry" in about four hours.

He tightened the package on his back, took off his longbow and quiver and knife, put away the map, and walked to the city of "Kerry".

After picking up a few blind wolves on the way, it was already sunset when we arrived at the city of "Kerry".

"Kerry" is not as good as expected. Although there are signs of repairs, it still cannot cover up the signs of damage everywhere.

There are all kinds of human beings armed with weapons everywhere, and they all don't seem to be good people.

Fortunately, wearing a wolfskin dress and carrying a long bow, I am not so conspicuous here, but my height of 1.2 meters is a bit short.

Thanks to the system, the languages ​​spoken here are all languages ​​I have never heard of before, but I have no communication barriers.

I looked around and found that people's trading method was through currency transactions, and among the currencies traded, there were golden gold coins.

Very good, it seems that carrying gold nuggets with you is indeed prescient, and the value of gold seems to be not low, so first you need to find a place to exchange gold coins. After all, I have never heard of anyone paying for things with gold bars on the street.

.

Walking along the street, a sound of metal tapping attracted my attention.

A blacksmith shop appeared in front of me on the street, and the words "purchasing ore" on the door sign made me stop.

Gold should be considered a kind of ore, so let’s go in and take a look first.

The walls of the blacksmith shop are covered with all kinds of swords and spears, and there is also a complete set of heavy knight armor in the middle of the shop. At first glance, it is quite intimidating, but I picked up a small knife and it made me curl my lips.

Judging from the appearance, the dagger picked up from the blacksmith shop hanger is much more gorgeous than the pig iron knife made by oneself. The blade is extremely smooth and faintly reflects the cold light. The non-slip rope wrapped around the handle also weighs appropriately in the hand.

However, when checking the weapon attributes through the system, the damage of 2-4 is a little higher than the stone knife made when he first came to this world, and the durability is half less than the knife made by himself.

What kind of spirit is this? If you are in this mood and refuse to improve the quality of your packaging, is there really nothing wrong with this blacksmith shop?

"Little girl, have you fallen in love with this dagger? You can take it for just 1 gold coin." An old man wearing shorts and an apron came over and held a hammer in his hand. He should be the boss here.

"Just looking around, are you buying all kinds of ores here?" I responded casually, pretending to browse the goods, while looking at the old man walking over with the corner of my eye.

He looks like an ordinary old man, so he should be fine.

"Different ores have different qualities and prices. What kind of ore do you want to change?" After hearing that he was not here to buy anything, the old man's face changed to a look of contempt.

"What ratio do you want to exchange for the refined gold?" Well, everything requires money, so I can tolerate it.

"We need to check the purity of the gold. Let's take it out and have a look." The old man pointed to the table in the blacksmith shop.

"This is it." After looking at no one else in the store, he casually took out the gold nuggets from the package and threw them on the table.

"100 gold coins." A golden light flashed in the old man's eyes.

"You're cheating me. The same weight of gold can be used to make more than 400 gold coins. Even if casting losses are included, at least 400 gold coins can be made." I responded with disdain.

"You need to charge a gold tax to make gold coins, and based on the purity of your gold ore, it is worth so much." The old man picked up the gold and padded it with his hands.

"As a blacksmith, can't you tell the purity of the gold in your hand? This is 99% gold nugget." I still responded with disdain, but I carefully adjusted the angle of my body to be ready to attack at any time. This guy

You don’t want to hack my gold nuggets, do you?

"Stop talking nonsense, I can only exchange so much gold coins here. If you want to exchange more gold coins, go find someone else to exchange them." The old man patted the table.

"Cut, that's all." He took the gold nugget back from the old man's hand, curled his lips, took out the knife from his waist, and cut off a small gold nugget.

"Two gold coins." The old man casually took out two gold coins from under the table and threw them over.

His right hand passed through the air, caught the two flying gold coins in his hand, put them in his arms and walked away without looking back.

--Boundary line--

The old man knocked on the table with his hand, and a strong man came over in the afternoon.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Although the strong man was much taller than the old man, his face was full of respect, and his bowed body made his head almost lower than the old man's waist.

"Take a few people and follow the wild girl who just left. She is a fat sheep." The old man turned his eyes to the direction he just left.

"Okay, don't worry." The strong man bowed and left.

"Hmph, a mere little girl actually dares to look at me like that." The old man sneered for a moment, threw the dagger I took off back on the shelf, and turned back to the house.
