Chapter 164: The Vorjord of the Dynamics of the Races
In the Northern Wasteland, Foljord's territory is actually the largest among the four major empires on this continent, but because most of the territory is in the extreme cold of the Northland, among the four empires, Foljord's resources are actually the least. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sivir was invited to the old man's snow room, which was slightly larger than the other people's snow huts, about seven or eight meters long, about seven or eight meters long.
The so-called snow house is actually a igloo made of snow bricks of various specifications, and the snowman will choose an open, sunny flat land, and then determine a specific foundation, and then use a sharp knife to cut it into large snow bricks of various specifications, so that you can build an igloo. Later, with each overlapping circle, it shrinks inward a little, and the circle becomes smaller and smaller, until a closed, hemispherical dome is formed, so that the general appearance of the igloo is formed.
The beds and tables in the igloo are made of snow and covered with seal skin, and there is nothing in the house, and the snowman uses seal oil as fuel for cooking, lighting, and heating.
Even the bed is made of snow, and in the deepest part of the igloo, there is a high platform made of snow, which is the snowman's couch. They rest and eat on this bed made of snow, but no one will be frozen. The snowbed is covered with a layer of soft snow, and the soft snow is covered with a layer of willow branches, and the willow branches are covered with a layer of animal skin, so that the snowbed is very warm.
Sivir visited the igloo with great interest, this was the first time she had seen that on planet D, because of global warming, the Arctic was inhabited by no one about 40 years ago because of the melting of snow, and the last Eskimo group had been integrated into other places early, and the skill of the igloo had long been lost.
In the evening, everyone eats in groups around a large stove made of special stone bricks, and there is a large ding, in which all kinds of food are boiled steaming!
As a qualified politician, Sivir is very good at communicating with people, and it didn't take long for him to inquire about the situation here.
Her current location is the Snow Wave Plain in the deep Arctic Land, this location can be regarded as a harsh environment even in the entire territory of Foljord, there are few buildings in the long snow field that can survive here for a long time, and all the people who live here are drifting around, usually living in tents, and in the cold winter, they will build their own igloos.
Although this place is cold, it is extremely rich in materials, not only rich in fish and aquatic products, but also a lot of rare medicinal materials and ores, attracting a large number of tribal people to wander here, but because of the large area, there are many tribes that have harvested a lot from here, and there are many who have been wandering here for many years and have not found anything.
Old Booker's tribe is a perennial tribe in this area, every few years he will lead a group of people to come here to pan for gold, he is experienced, rarely empty-handed, often stay for half a year will lead the tribe to get a lot of good things, so Old Booker is also very famous in their big tribe.
Sivir drank the warm fish soup, the cold on her body decreased a little, and her face became a little ruddy, with the noble blood of her ice and snow clan, her delicate face made many people stunned under the firelight.
"Where are you going to trade these herbs and ores after collecting them?" Sivir asked in a warm voice.
"Top of the World!" Beauty is treated preferentially wherever she goes, and as soon as Sivier finished asking, someone replied attentively: "All materials will be traded at the top of the world, because the price there is the fairest, and those who don't understand will definitely suffer losses if they trade outside!" ”
Top of the world? Sivir was stunned for a moment, this name ...... It's so domineering.
"That's our Foljord..... No, one of the greatest cities in the world! "When it comes to being on top of the world, everybody looks longing.
"Oh?" Sivir's face was full of interest: "What kind of great law?" ”
The people who came here to pan for gold were all men, and they all competed to be courteous when they heard the beautiful women's inquiries, but these people were not highly educated, and they were all described as a little dry, and after a while, Old Booker coughed and interrupted everyone's quarrel with a funny cough.
He threw a piece of seal oil into the furnace, and the fire became more vigorous, and he looked at the group of young men who had been beaten with chicken blood: "Okay, let you usually study hard, but now you are dumb, right?" ”
A group of young men lowered their heads in embarrassment when they heard this.
"Especially you!" Old Booker pointed to the youngest young man next to Siwell: "You are different from them, you have the opportunity to become a samurai if you are so well trained, you must read the books well, even if you are really brought to the top of the world by those masters to become a samurai in the future, the promotion space in the future is limited, you know, if you want to become a knight from a samurai, you can't just rely on brute force, at least you have to be literate and understand etiquette!" ”
"Got it, Daddy!" The guy twisted his head: "I'll try!" ”
Sivir listened quietly, and Booker Sr.'s words revealed a lot of information that she wanted to know.
"Can you tell me about being on top of the world, old man!" Sivir laughed.
"The guests are from outside, and they haven't heard of the top of the world? So how did you get in? Booker Sr. was a little curious.
"Lack of knowledge..... Sivir laughed.
Old Booker nodded, didn't ask much, took a puff of dry smoke, and his eyes were a little confused: "It is a great city, it is a city established by the first king of Foldrud, it is rumored that the ancestors of the royal family at that time had the bloodline of the ice phoenix and could control the weather in the north, so they could build such a huge city on the top of the highest mountain, and this city blocked the entire Vorjor Mountains, dividing the outside and the northern world in two, no one can cross the top of the world, it is the capital of our Foldraud, It is also the wall of the sky for our entire Foljord, and as long as we have it, we will never suffer from the chaos outside! ”
Building a city on the highest mountain range? Sivir frowned and asked curiously, "Isn't the air too thin in such a high place, and is the temperature in the city suitable for living in?" ”
"That's what makes it great!" Booker Sr. smiled, "Although the city is located on the top of the coldest and highest mountains, the city is like spring all year round!" ”
The four seasons are like spring...... Sivir was stunned for a moment, this doesn't make sense, right? Then she shook her head, this is not a low demon plane, although it is sealed, it is not impossible for some strange things to happen, and then she asked: "Then the enemy can't come up, how can you people enter the city?" ”
"A ladder with iron cables." Old Booker knocked on the cigarette butt: "There are hundreds of iron rope ladders, but the mechanism can only be controlled from above, there are hundreds of checkpoints in the whole city, from high to low, every ten checkpoints will have an entrance, there is a corresponding city inside, the place where we nomads trade is the first floor, the higher the city, the more prosperous, the highest level is the special field of the nobles, only there can see the sky, enjoy the best treatment!" ”
Sivir was stunned when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, and asked curiously, "This city is cascading?" ”
"Cascading?" Lao Buke was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "This word is good, probably this is what it means!" ”
Sivir was a little surprised, it was impossible for the technology in her own plane to build a cascading city, and the technology here was so backward that it could build a cascading city on such a high mountain, and it was still ten floors? How does it solve the construction problem? Even if the building problem is solved, how to solve multiple problems such as lighting, exhaust, drainage, etc.? Then it occurred to Sivir that since the city had been around for so long, it must have solved those problems, and when you think about it, this is really a great city.
"It's so exciting." Sivir exclaimed sincerely.
"Yes, it's really desirable....." Old Booker looked complicated, and then sighed: "But unfortunately, people like us will always just yearn for it, and it is impossible to stand on the top of the world and see the sky there in this life!" ”
"The old man hasn't been to the highest floor?"
"Where is it so easy?" Booker Sr. put away his cigarette stick, changed his seat, and continued: "Only the nobles can enter there, and they have to be the upper nobles. ”
Sivir slowly listened to the old Booker's narration, and finally slowly understood that ninety percent of the population of Foljod were nomads, and on the isolated side of the world, the places with slightly better locations were occupied by large tribes, but there were very few such places, and most of the nomads had no fixed residence, and they were wandering around.
And there are only a very small number of people who can live in the so-called top of the world, and those who can live in it must have some skills, at least a skill, and they must also be the best in this field, whether they are chefs, blacksmiths, tailors or people who are proficient in finance, they must be extremely good to enter the city and stay and work, this kind of opportunity is very rare, but even they only live on the lower three floors, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to go up.
You have to be a knight or a scholar to enter the third floor or above, and then you have to continue to work hard to continue to move forward, knights must continue to win the glory of martial arts, and scholars must continue to go through various tests in order to climb higher and higher.
And the people at the top hold the rules of the whole of Foldrod!
It's really a strange country, Sivir secretly thought to himself, this kind of abnormal development and this special terrain allow the rulers here to minimize internal worries without external troubles, and this kind of system can last for thousands of years, Foldrold, as the oldest empire, has the longest history, and it is really an extremely special existence!
Siwell smiled to herself: "But I drew a good lot, this place is quite suitable for development..... and then she looked at the night sky and muttered in her heart: "I don't know how other people draw lots?" ”
-----------------------------------
Far northwest away from Sivir, Ian sighed hot on his hands, in this damn weather, he suddenly felt that it was not a good thing for the flesh to be too realistic, and if it continued like this, there might really be a problem, and it would be funny that he would be frozen to death here before he began to develop his power.
But it's not a big problem for his silver physique to last for a month, but it's not a way to keep walking aimlessly, he was a little speechless and said: "Intelligence, isn't there a world map?" ”
"I'm sorry......" Intelligence said coldly: "This plane is a sealing plane, and the gods have tried their best to avoid the Gaia consciousness here, and the degree of exploration is very low, so you can only rely on the master to figure it out yourself." ”
"Touch your head!" Ian was a little speechless, and said secretly: "Even if you run the map, you can choose a good landing spot for me, okay, what does it mean to get me to a place where this bird doesn't?" ”
As he was complaining, he suddenly saw a firelight a few kilometers away, although it was night, and there was heavy snow disturbing his vision, but Ian's silver-level physique allowed him to have a wide field of vision, although it was not as good as the night vision ability of the night elves, but it was not a big problem to see a long-range firelight.
"Oh?" A sneer appeared on Ian's face, "Finally there is a living person!" ”
"Warning!" Intelligence suddenly jumped out and warned: "This plane does not allow the use of biological weapons of mass destruction, which means that most of the biological templates you had in the previous plane cannot be used, especially those that divide cells. ”
"What?" Ian was stunned for a moment: "You mean I can't start violently?" ”
"Yes!"
Ian: "XXX"
----------------------------------------
At the same time, in a place far away from the two of them, but also in the territory of Foljord, a young man had just returned from the educational centers scattered throughout the Empire, and every year the Empire sent those scholars to various educational points to enlighten and educate potential young vagrants in various places.
Alvin is one of them, he has excellent physical fitness, since he was a child, he has been deliberately cultivated by his family to boil his body, and his father is a knowledgeable person, while boiling his body, he has not forgotten his enlightenment education, he has taught him to read and write since he was a child, and when he was seven years old, he began to let him run those education points every day to go to a higher level of learning!
The weather is not very good today, those noble scholars and gentlemen don't seem to have come, Alwin went home in disappointment after hearing the news of the temporary suspension, he was about to go to the samurai trial, and now he has less and less time to study, so every time he cherishes it unusually, today's suspension is not good news for him.
If this is on Planet D, the school notices the temporary closure, those students don't jump and fly, after all, there are some things, the more precious they are, the more people will cherish them!
When Alvin was on his way back, he suddenly saw the snowdrift next to him move, he was stunned, pulled out the long sword behind him, and said secretly in his heart: "There are still animals running outside this day?" Don't encounter snow bears. ”
Alwyn walked cautiously, if it was a snow hare or roe deer, then go back, and relieve his father of hunting for his own physical development, if it was really a snow bear..... Well, I'll run away as soon as I can.
But when he got close to remove the snow, he found that there was a little girl who looked to be in her teens!
He had never seen the little girl dressed, it looked special and cute, but no one in the snow would be so thinly dressed, where was she from? Why is it here?
Alvin looked at the little girl's chubby and somewhat pink-carved face, and was a little distressed, and hurriedly draped his coat over the other party, and then began to use the snowman method to enliven the other party's hands and feet, hoping to warm her body.
But when he came into contact with the other party's body, he suddenly found that the little girl's body temperature was unusually high, not at all like a person who had been frozen for a long time, which was a bit weird.
After hesitating, Alvin shook the other party: "Hey, wake up, can you hear me?" ”
The little girl who had been shaken for a moment suddenly frowned, and opened her eyes a little confused, the big flickering eyes made Alwyn stunned like snow elves, and he swore that they were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, like stars!
"Huh?" The little girl looked at the boy in front of her, who was only about twelve years old, and grinned happily: "Living! ”
