Chapter 3 I Have Wine, Do You Have a Story?
The group of robbers who tried to rob Su Sun were forced to contribute a lot of information to Su Sun before they were killed.
Among them, there is the location of the largest sanctuary city in the surrounding area, the city of Nether.
Located in the former Land of a Thousand Lakes, next to three large freshwater lakes, the city of Nether is a lakeside city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Looks pretty normal." Su Sun didn't see much chaos from the city, nor did he see much death, it seems that the Nether family, which was almost wiped out, has a lot of responsibility and bottom line, even if the clan is about to be wiped out, he did not choose to remove the protection array, and let the nearly a million people in the city die with them or move.
Of course, it's also possible that the mysterious forces that attacked them didn't give them that chance - but the difficulty is too high.
Before officially setting off for Nesser City, in order to avoid trouble, Su Sun dismantled some tents in the robbers' camp, covered his luggage with those fabrics, disguised himself as a dusty traveler, and scavenged a little local currency from the robbers' corpses by the way.
The local currency of this world is a peculiar metal alloy, dark gold, the original name is quite long and complicated, and Su Sun called it 'gold'.
One standard gold, about 100 grams, is enough to buy the food rations of a family of three for more than half a month, and the entire gang of robbers is hired to find the heir of the Neiser family, and it is only a reward of 30 gold, and if you are caught, you can get a bounty of another 100 gold.
After this alloy is fused and cast, it can be directly cast into high-grade sophisticated weapons, and it is recognized as a hard currency in many regions, even if it is not used as a coin, but as a raw material, and its value is not low.
Forty or fifty robbers, with a total of fifty-seven gold, which is also a huge amount of money, but it is also very heavy, Su Sun found a box and carried the money behind him.
With money in his hands and power in his fists, theoretically speaking, everything should be considered worry-free, but even so, Su Sun was still a little worried: "After all, it's the end of the world, what if the city guards have to ask me for more bribes and check my luggage?" If there is a conflict, I can't stand that anger, and I will definitely have to kill them all. β
"But I'm here to find out the news, not to kill peopleβthat's good." Saying this, Su Day, who was kind to others, couldn't help but sigh.
"You're thinking too much." Yala, who was watching all this, poked her head out of Su Sun's hair, shook her head slightly, and didn't say directly, "You just finished killing people, at least a dozen of them, without the slightest concealment, what city guards are crazy and dare to stop you." He just said casually: "Listening to these robbers, there is no ruler in that city now, and no one else has had time to gain control of the city...... In this case, how could the city guards work normally? β
Yara was right.
When the guards of Nesser City saw from afar a young adventurer with luggage and dust, walking from the deserted Northwest Avenue, where it was said that there had been many bandits recently, a sense of inexplicable danger flashed in their hearts.
"Alone through the blockade of the old Anda's group, so leisurely through the wilderness...... Don't mess with this kind of wilderness walker! β
Even, there are old city guards who teach common sense to young people: "Generally, the best ones to blackmail are those squads of seven or eight people, as long as the amount is not large, they will share it and take it out, even if the strength is strong, in order to avoid trouble, it may not be as knowledgeable as people like us." β
"And a lone wanderer like this who dares to walk alone is either a strong man who is strong and does not fear the undead in the wilderness, or a fool with good luck - where does this world come from? Where is the turn to get us to knock oil and water. β
Therefore, Su Sun, who originally thought that he would be persecuted and would have to fight, was just because he was a stranger, so he needed to pay a small piece of alloy worth about one-tenth of gold as an entry fee according to the rules.
Subsequently, the city guards gave him a wooden plaque engraved with runes as proof of identity, and Su Sun entered the city without any trouble.
From beginning to end, Su Tian didn't even speak, and the luggage on his body hadn't been checked in any way - it was obviously a fantasy big city with walls nearly twenty meters high, and the city guards were actually lazy! This immediately made Su Yan shake his head bitterly: "In this world, there is really a problem!" β
"It's obviously you who have the problem." The snake spirit shook his head.
Nestled between three large freshwater lakes, the city of Nesser is walled with only three narrow land entrances and exits, and most of the lakeside is farmland.
The entire city and all the farmland cultivation areas were shrouded in a translucent layer of light, and when Su Tian entered this layer of light before, he immediately felt that the aura of various attributes was several times more active, even a little more active than on the other side of the earth.
But this activity is not the activity of the aura itself, but the activity of attributes.
For example, the concentration of aura in a world is equivalent to the water in a cup, and when the aura is cut off, the water will become less, and the aura will be revived, and the water will become more.
The activity of the attribute is equivalent to whether the glass of water is easy to freeze and vaporize, and whether the form is easy to change.
Before, when he first came to this world, Su Sun felt that although the concentration of aura in the other world was a little thicker than that of the earth, the speed of attribute conversion was terrifying.
This is certainly not a good thing. The speed of the conversion of the aura attribute on the earth is very normal, the water spiritual power in the ocean, after leaving the sea, after rising into the sky, will be converted into the spiritual power of the wind genus, if it is a little higher, because of the direct sunlight, it will be converted into the spiritual power of the light genus, which is a natural cycle process, similar to the transformation of the material form, and keep pace with the material world.
If the attribute conversion speed is too slow, it will cause the aura to interfere with each other, and the water aura rising to the sky cannot be quickly converted into wind aura, which will interfere with the normal material world rain and wind, resulting in climate imbalance.
For example, it's like a delay in the fact that the water is heated to 100 degrees, but it takes a long time for the water to boil...... This is just a simple example, in fact, it is enough to cause the destruction of the world, if nothing else, it is difficult for plants to survive.
Of course, it's not a good thing to change too fast, and a little higher is fine, but if you do too much, it will be similar to a plateau area, because the air pressure is insufficient, and the water will boil if it is less than 100 degrees, making it difficult for people to eat cooked food.
Su Sun could sense that the aura conversion speed in this world would soon fall to the bottom, probably just a few decades - if it was the era of aura disconnection, after all, there was no aura in the pure material world, and it didn't matter how slow your aura attribute conversion was, but if the aura revived and the aura filled the world again, the abnormality of the aura would lead to the destruction of the material world.
However, after entering the enveloping area of this large array that the robbers called 'Elemental Order', everything returned to normal, and people could grow and live normally.
The walls of Nether City are very tall and thick, with an average height of about twenty-one meters, and there are obvious traces of magic shaping, but after seeing the Baizhang City Wall of Nanhe Tianguan in the Shenmu World, Su Sun has become resistant to all kinds of strange architectural styles of the transcendent world - what building can't be built with aura?
The town planning of Nesser City is unexpectedly very advanced, the blocks are neatly arranged, the sewer facilities are also very perfect, and it is not as noisy and chaotic as the general ancient Western cities, except for the more guards, the streets are not very dirty, and most of the rock-built houses have been carefully arranged by the owners, and there are no stains to be seen.
It's just that now, every door is closed, and most of the pedestrians on the side of the road are in a hurry, not daring to stay on the street for too long.
In the entire city, there are only a few places that are probably pubs and markets that can feel the noisy popularity.
"It seems that there is no other choice." Su Yan walked through the city gate, and after coming to the city, he casually chose the most popular tavern.
As soon as he entered the door, the tavern, which was originally full of people, quieted down, and then it was noisy again, and when Su Sun walked to the counter and slapped the two gold directly on the table.
The sound of metal and wood colliding is not loud, but it is very pleasant on time.
The tavern owner, who was originally watching and observing, immediately squeezed a waiter away, he stepped forward and asked very politely, "This guest, do you need a separate private room?" And it's too much money, and there's no wine here worth the price. β
Of course, Su Yan couldn't understand what he was saying, but fortunately, he was of the transcendent level, so he directly used his soul to communicate: "Come to your best wine, and then have some signature dishes." I have been walking alone in the wilderness for several months, and I am very hungry, so I will be served five first. β
Soul Communication!? Is it a transcendental professional master?
How could such a person come to such an ordinary adventurer's tavern!
After perceiving a little momentum that Su Yan was faintly exuding, the tavern owner with a strong physique and estimated to be an adventurer in his early years suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and in his soul communication, he repeated what he had said before, and then said respectfully: "Master, even if it is a full table, it doesn't need so much money - a quarter of gold is enough." β
And as Su Yan knew the price of the food in this tavern, he roughly knew the purchasing power of one gold: "The purchasing power of one gold is about the same as two thousand Zhengguo yuan, which is not surprising." β
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that wine and meat are very expensive in this world, and it is a luxury...... But even then, it's not much worse.
At this time, the other voices in the tavern also cooled down.
"Why did an elite-level professional master come to our tavern?" They all whispered in confusion - ordinary adventurers, most of whom were in the apprenticeship stage, had just begun to perceive the magic. And the adventurer who has obtained the official professional title, if he goes to the lord to apply, it is enough to be a captain, and if he continues to be an adventurer, he can also pull up a large team.
Elite-level professionals, it is also in the last few decades, when the demon tide returns to the world, it has gradually increased, in the past, even the beginner level is rare, no matter where it is, it is a real master, a big man.
The adventurer is not a fool, when he saw that Su Tian's mouth was not opened, the tavern owner replied there with a respectful face, how could he not know that this was an extraordinary professional who could transmit souls? As for the language......
Hey, in the past, the four kingdoms did not understand each other's language, but now the kingdom has been destroyed for nearly a thousand years, and the shelter cities in various places have developed independently of each other, and the dialects are serious, even if they were all shelters of the same country in the past, no one can understand the language spoken to each other.
"Money is not an issue." Faced with the tavernkeeper's question, Su Sun said with a smile, he was still a soul transmission: "I just came back from the wilderness, it's too boring to walk alone, now, I want to listen to people, and by the way, I want to know about the recent situation in this city." β
Saying this, Su Sun turned his head and looked at the other seats in the tavern, and he began to communicate with his soul in the wide area: "I have invited you for your wine today - there is only one request, that is, if you want to drink for free, everyone needs to tell a story. β
Saying this, he took out a few more gold and slapped it on the counter to prove that he not only has strength, but also money.
- I have wine, do you have a story?
