Chapter 3 I have wine, do you have a story?
The group of robbers who attempted to rob Su Zhou were forced to contribute a lot of information to Su Zhou before they were killed.
Among them, there is the largest sanctuary city in the surrounding area, the location of Nesser City.
Naisal City is located in the territory of the former Thousand Lakes, next to three large Tamsui lakes. It is a lakeside city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Su Zhou stood on the hills and looked out from afar, and could see its towering city walls and a large area of farmland next to the lakeside around the city.
"It seems normal." Su Zhou did not see much chaos in the city, nor did he see much death. It seems that the Naiser family, which was almost completely beaten up, has a lot of responsibility and bottom line. Even if they are about to be destroyed, they do not choose to withdraw the protective formation and let nearly one million people in the city die with them or move.
Of course, it is also possible that the mysterious forces attacking them did not give them this opportunity - but the difficulty is too high.
Before officially setting off for Nessel City, in order to avoid trouble, Su Zhou dismantled some tents in the robber camp, covered his luggage with those cloths, and disguised himself as a dusty traveler, and by the way, he searched for some local currency from the robber's corpse.
The local currency in this world is a strange metal alloy, dark gold, with a long and complex original name, so Su Zhou called it "gold".
A standard gold weighs about 100 grams, which is enough to buy the food rations for a family of three for more than half a month. The entire robber gang was hired to find the heirs of the Nesser family, but they only received a reward of 30 gold. If caught, they could get another bounty of 100 gold.
After this alloy is melted and cast, it can directly cast high-quality weapons. It is a hard currency recognized by many regions. Even if it is not used as a currency, it is of low value as a raw material alone.
Forty or fifty robbers had a total of fifty-seven gold, which was a huge sum of money, but it was also very heavy. Su Zhou found a box and carried the money behind him.
With money in your hands and strength in your fists, in theory, it should be considered worry-free, but even so, Su Zhou was still a little worried: "After all, it's the end of the world. What if the city guards insist on asking me for more bribes and checking my luggage? If there is a conflict and I can't stand that anger, I will definitely have to kill them all."
"But I went to find out the news, not to kill people - what should I do?" Su Zhou, who was kind to others, couldn't help but sigh.
"You're thinking too much." Yara, who was watching all this, poked her head out of Su Zhou's hair. It shook her head slightly, and did not say directly, 'You have just killed someone, at least a dozen people, without any concealment, what kind of city guards dared to stop you if they lost their hearts and dared to stop you.' This kind of words was just casually said: "Listen to these robbers, there is no ruler in that city now, and no one else has time to gain control of the city... In this case, how could the city guards work normally?"
Yala said nothing.
When the city guards of Nesser saw a young adventurer with luggage, covered in dust, walking from the deserted Northwest Avenue, which is said to have recently been many bandits, a sense of inexplicable danger flashed through his heart.
"I walked through the blockade of Old Anda's group of people alone, and walked through the wilderness so leisurely... Don't mess with such wilderness walkers!"
There is even the Old City Guards who teach young people common sense: "Generally, the best teams of seven or eight people are the ones. As long as the amount is not large, they will take them out after sharing. Even if they have strong strength, in order to avoid trouble, they may not be as knowledgeable as people like us."
"And a loner like this who dares to walk alone is either a strong man with strong strength and no fear of the dead in the wilderness or a lucky fool - where does the fool come from in this world? Where is our turn to knock on the oil and water."
Therefore, Su Zhou, who originally thought he would be persecuted and had to fight, just because he was a stranger, he needed to pay a small piece of alloy pieces worth about one tenth of gold as the expense of entering the city.
Afterwards, the city guards gave him a wooden sign engraved with runes as their identity proof, and Su Zhou entered the city without any trouble.
From beginning to end, Su Zhou didn't even speak, and his luggage was not checked at all. It was clearly a fantasy city with a city wall of nearly 20 meters high, and the city guards were so lazy! This made Su Zhou shook his head in pain: "There is indeed a problem in this world!"
"The one with the problem is obviously you." Snake Ling shook her head.
Neisser is surrounded by three large freshwater lakes, with only three narrow and long land entrances and exits with city walls, and most of the lakeside are farmland.
The entire city and all farmland planting areas are shrouded in a translucent light layer. When Su Zhou entered this light layer before, he suddenly felt that various attribute spiritual energy was several times more active, even a little more active than the other side of the earth.
However, this activity is not the activity of the spiritual energy itself, but the activity of attributes.
For example, the concentration of spiritual energy in a world is equivalent to the water in a cup. If the spiritual energy is cut off, the water will become less, and the spiritual energy will be revived, and the water will become more.
The active attributes are equivalent to whether this cup of water is prone to freezing and vaporization, and whether the form is easy to change.
Before, when he first came to this world, Su Zhou felt that although the concentration of spiritual energy in another world was a little thicker than that of the earth, the attribute conversion speed was so slow that it was very slow.
Of course this is not a good thing. The speed of spiritual energy conversion on the earth is normal. After leaving the sea and rising into a high altitude, the water spiritual power in the ocean will be converted into the spiritual power of the wind. If it is a little higher, because of the direct sunlight, it will be converted into the spiritual power of the light. This is a natural cycle process, similar to the transformation of material forms, and keeping in sync with the material world.
If the attribute conversion speed is too slow, it will cause the spiritual energy to interfere with each other. The water spiritual energy rising into the sky cannot be quickly converted into wind spiritual energy, which will interfere with the normal material world of rainfall and wind, resulting in climate imbalance.
For example, it is like the delay phenomenon that the water has obviously been heated to 100 degrees, but it will take a long time to boil... This is just a simple example. In fact, this is a big event that can cause the destruction of the world. If you don't say anything else, it will be difficult for plants to survive.
Of course, it is not a good thing to convert too fast. It is better to have a little higher, but once it is too excessive, it will be similar to a plateau area. Because the air pressure is insufficient, the water will boil less than 100 degrees, making it difficult for people to eat cooked food.
Su Zhou could sense that the spiritual energy conversion speed in this world will soon fall to the bottom, and it will be about a few decades - it would be fine if the spiritual energy is cut off in the era. After all, there is no pure material world without spiritual energy, it doesn’t matter how slow your spiritual energy attributes are converted, but if the spiritual energy revives and the spiritual energy fills the world again, the abnormality of the spiritual energy will lead to the destruction of the material world.
However, after entering the enclosure of this large array called "elemental order" by the robbers, everything returns to normal and people can plant and live normally.
The walls of Nesser City are very high and thick, with an average height of about twenty-one meters, with obvious traces of magic shaping. However, after seeing the Baizhang City Wall of Nanhe Tianguan in the Shenmu World, Su Zhou became resistant to various extraordinary architectural styles in the world. With spiritual energy, what buildings cannot be built?
The town planning of Nesser City is unexpectedly advanced, with neatly arranged blocks and perfect sewer facilities. It is not as noisy and chaotic as ordinary ancient Western cities. In addition to the many guards on the streets, it is not very dirty and messy. Most of the houses in rock buildings are carefully organized by the owners, and there is no trace of stains.
But now, every household has its doors closed, and most of the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry and dare not stay on the street for too long. For Su Zhou, a stranger carrying a large package, at most, he would look up and immediately bow his head in panic.
In the entire city, there are only a few places where there are probably taverns and markets that can feel noisy popularity.
"It seems that there is no other choice." Su Zhou walked past the city gate and came to the city, and chose the most popular tavern.
As soon as he entered the door, the originally crowded tavern became quiet, and then the noise returned to the noise. When Su Zhou walked to the counter and slapped the two golds directly on the table.
The sound of metal and wood colliding is not loud, but it is very pleasant on time.
The owner of the tavern who was watching and observing immediately squeezed out a waiter. He walked up and asked extremely politely: "This guest, do you need an independent private room? There is too much money, and there is no wine here worth the price."
Of course, Su Zhou didn't understand what he was talking about. Fortunately, he was a superb rank, so he directly sent a message with his soul: "Come on your best wine, and then some signature dishes. I've been alone in the wilderness for several months and was so hungry that I gave me five servings first."
Soul Message!? Is the extraordinary professional master?
How could such a person come to such an ordinary adventurer’s tavern!
After sensing a little momentum that Su Zhou vaguely released, the tavern owner, who was a strong and probably an adventurer in his early years, suddenly had a cold sweat on his forehead. In his soul communication, he repeated what he had said before, and then said respectfully: "Master, even if you have a table full, you don't need so much money - a quarter of the gold is enough."
As Su Zhou knew the price of the food in the tavern, he roughly learned the purchasing power of one gold: "Is the purchasing power of one gold equivalent to two thousand yuan, which is not surprising."
Of course, it is not ruled out that wine and meat are expensive in this world and are luxury goods... but even so, it is not much different.
At this time, other sounds in the tavern also became cold.
"How could the elite professional master come to our tavern?" They all whispered in confusion - most ordinary adventurers are in the internship stage and have just begun to appreciate magic. And adventurers who have obtained the formal professional titles are enough to be a captain if they apply for a job at the lord. If they continue to be adventurers, they can also form a large team.
The elite professionals have only gradually increased in recent decades when the demon tide has returned to the world. Before that, even the first-level professionals are rare. No matter where they are, they are real masters and big figures.
The adventurer is not a fool. When he saw that Su Zhou was not open, the tavern owner replied with a respectful look on his face. How could he not know that this is an extraordinary professional who can transmit souls? As for language issues...
Hi, the four kingdoms in the past have not been able to speak with each other. Now that the kingdom has been destroyed for nearly a thousand years, the shelter cities in various places have developed independently and become more dialectical. Even though they were shelters of the same country in the past, no one can understand the language they spoke to each other.
"Money is not a problem." Facing the problem of the tavern owner, Su Zhou smiled. He was still a soul-transmitting voice: "I just came back from the wilderness. It was too boring to walk alone. Now, I want to listen to people and know the recent situation in this city."
Saying this, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the other seats in the tavern. He started a wide-area soul communication: "I have invited you all today - there is only one request, that is, those who want to drink for free, and everyone needs to tell a story."
He said this, and he took out a few more gold and patted it on the counter, proving that he was not only capable but also rich.
