Chapter 1060: A Little History
"Boss, Boss! Boss, don't you look good! This is for you! ”
"Boss, try this! I heard that the whole continent sells this kind of sweet, and it is said that it is made with pure fruits! ”
"Boss, let's go watch the fireworks! There is a nearby town that sets off fireworks every 20 days, I heard that the alchemists gathered in the town made it out of alchemy by-products, but it's beautiful, I haven't seen it yet, let's go see the fireworks tonight, okay? ”
"Boss, boss, don't pull my ears, okay? No matter how much you pull it, you won't grow taller......"
Along the way,The voice of the little girl who chirped like this never stopped for a minute and a half.,And the twittering movement is really not small.,Even the pedestrians along the way frequently sideways.,What they saw was a Lori who looked like she was less than ten years old and followed behind a man step by step.,Keep bouncing and chattering trying to show her sense of existence.,If you ignore her strange name,This can basically be seen as being taken out by an adult to go shopping., Then I saw the little daughter who was pestering her because she liked something - but if my daughter is really the same as Lilina, I can only bless his eight ancestors, this girl is really hard to suppress.
"I said, what has she been stimulated by in the past two days?" After beating Lilina back with a knife that tried to jump on me again, I looked at my sister with a big head, and the girl next to me was overexcited all the time, and kept showing me all kinds of strange things. Of course, Lilina used to be so nervous in the past, but today the symptoms seem to be more severe than ever. My sister smiled and glanced at Lilina, and explained softly, "It's not that you don't know her character, and you suddenly became nervous. And I haven't seen you for so many days, so I probably miss you. ”
"I think she's just crazy in this world, and she can't cool down," I pouted. Then he sighed softly, bent down and grabbed Lilina and put her on one shoulder, at least to make her quieter, while of course there was a mercury lamp sitting on my other shoulder, and the little puppet saw that his old enemy was placed opposite, and immediately pressed his finger in the center of my head, and warned loudly: "Look at it." This is the boundary, and this is my territory. You are not allowed to cross the line! ”
Me: "......" What did this pit daddy kid do with me!
Lilina's purpose of making her presence felt had been achieved. Complacent, he rarely didn't fight with the mercury lamp, but shook his feet: "Boss, this world is interesting, right?" It's mysterious. ”
I smacked my lips, "It's interesting, but we spent two days in a deserted prairie, and you say it can be fun." It seems that you have a lot of fun in this world. ”
I squinted at Lilina, the girl was wearing clothes that were obviously new to this world. It looks gorgeous and sophisticated. It was a blue-purple dress with white embellishments, and it felt a bit like a little princess's dress. But on the chest, there are two golden wide edges hanging straight down, and the flat air adds an indescribable solemn majesty to a dress, and there are many feather-like ornaments at the skirt of the dress, which are light and clear, and very beautiful. But Lilina's nouveau riche behavior has ruined the princess dress that was supposed to be associated with "noble, gorgeous, and powerful":
She wore at least a dozen strings of various commemorative ornaments around her neck, and the shoddy techniques and pungent aromas did not need to be thought of as being bought cheaply from the streets, essentially to fool foreign tourists; There were seven or eight bracelets wrapped around her hands, and I even suspected that this girl now said that her Ironfist heirs were not in harmony; The shaking of her feet and neck was also a jingling sound, because she had also made herself four pairs of anklets to wear; What's even more amazing is that she also wears three belts of different colors, although she claims that two of them are folk decorations that characterize the city. Not to mention the mess of small animal bone amulets, wooden swords, glittering beads, etc., which came out of her pocket, Lilina was a moving exhibition shelf when she first appeared in front of me, full of this kind of cheap and at first glance a special product for the pick-up of scenic spots: she didn't even put these things in her personal space, and the mentality of the stupid nouveau riche was evident. Luckily, Bubbles took a lot of shiny gadgets from her, and now Lilina is actually much more normal than she was just now. …,
The clothes worn by the little crow and vanilla are similar to Lilina's, and may be made to order, but the two are not as upstart as Lilina with a lot of messy things on themselves, and the two little girls with the same appearance walk down the street in beautiful princess dresses, looking at the scenery around them with novelty, and attract a lot of attention like twin cherubs, and behind them, there are Pandora and Viska, Bubbles and Little Bubbles......
There are more and more passers-by on both sides, and they may think that we are twins marching here, but fortunately this is not on Earth, otherwise at least a dozen would have to rush over and ask for a group photo.
My sister was still wearing the ordinary otherworldly dress when she set off, and it didn't seem that she was involved in the convulsions of a few little girls.
"These things are souvenirs!" Lilina tugged at a large pile of pendants around her neck, which made her look like an old chief of a Central African country, "Of course, you have to buy souvenirs frantically when you come out to play, or you will come out in vain." Look at this, it's made from the whiskers of a black sharphorn sheep and it's resistant to disease and the three kinds of disease-related scourges, it's an amulet polished with the shiny pebbles of a light river beach, and it can bring you the blessings of the river gods, and if you can swim, you may not drown......"
Me: "...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”
"Anyway, it's all a happy statement, everyone knows that the Tao is a lie," Lilina waved her hand angrily, and then picked out a shiny spar pendant for me to wear around my neck, "I picked it up specifically for you, so that your sense of existence will be greatly enhanced, because this is a women's pendant." ”
I didn't hesitate to throw it into my pocket.
"Ah Jun. When are we going to eat? Sandora rubbed her stomach pitifully, "I'm hungry, I got up early and didn't eat yet, so I hurried over." I look good everywhere......"
I quickly shook Lilina on my shoulder in horror: "Find a place to eat immediately!" Before the destruction of the city! ”
"Hey, I know what a good place to go!" Lilina immediately raised her toes and pointed ahead, "Straight ahead is the central sculpture of the city, and a quarter of that square is a place to eat, and I guess the only one that can feed Sister Shandora is there." ”
As soon as Sandora heard it, she didn't say a word and raised her legs and left: "Let's go." Eat first, eat first! I haven't had a serious meal in two days! ”
Soon we found the central square that Lilina was talking about, and it was a very easy place to find, the plain where the city was located was roughly circular, split in half from the middle, half of which was an open area, which would serve as a projection point for some of the Lost Realms and the Mother Continent when the Miracle Day came, and the other half would be the "port" city "Sentu". That is, where we are now, and the word "Sentu" means "port" or "passage" in the local language. The central square is located in the very center of the semicircular city. There are three wide, paved stone paths from the Harbour Square to the central square. You can find it by following the road all the way.
The semi-circular city is reminiscent of the moon, and the central square is simply designed to be a crescent moon to match the silhouette of the city itself, and in the middle of this narrow "crescent square" we see the city's most famous sculpture: the explorer.
This is a human figure, about ten meters high, made of heavy black stones. It is an image of a sturdy man climbing a mountain cliff, and the man in the sculpture is dressed in a tight leather coat. He wore an animal skin apron around his waist, and carried several tools on his back that were not of apparent use but probably not used in battle. He was struggling to climb a huge rock, his muscles were tense, and his forehead was bruised. However, what is puzzling is that the protagonist of the sculpture has no face: it is not that he has been weathered, but that the sculpture itself does not depict a face. …,
"It's a symbol of the city, and Port Sentu is one of the oldest cities on the continent, dating back to the time of obscurantism," Lilina said as our guide, talking under the sculptures. The reason why this situation occurred is because at first there were many brave people who wanted to find out what was going on in these suddenly appeared areas and went deep into them, but the projection of these suddenly appeared areas could disappear at any time, and the next time they appeared again, I don't know when the path would be, and in the absence of a summary of the general "periodic calendar", ninety percent of the people never returned after entering the mysterious world, and the rest of the people who came back were scarred and crazy. These people talk about being sent into a forgotten realm of the world, where there are great ruins and ancient guardians that are still in operation, and that the guardians kill anyone who trespasses into the ruins. As a result, over time, people no longer dared to touch these inexplicable areas, and called them the Lost World. ”
Speaking of this, Lilina paused, and I immediately made a rather cooperative appearance that it didn't matter if you like to talk or not, so Lilina continued to speak with resentment: "Then a bold fellow came here with a lot of messy luggage and half a month's rations, and at that time there was no Sentu Port, not even a human being, and he was the first to find this wasteland in that ignorant period when transportation was completely dependent, Through here, he entered one of the few Lost Realms that was absolutely safe: the Ancient Garden. Of course, he came back alive, except for eating half a moon of grass and almost suffering from serious gastrointestinal diseases, everything was fine, from that day on, people finally knew that these lost world world was not a place to die, and that brave guy brought back a large number of plants that had never been seen on this continent from the ancient garden, many of which were proven to have alchemical value, at that time, the alchemy technique of this world was still budding, and people had the courage to use all kinds of strange raw materials, After all, the alchemy materials available on the continent were limited, so the various medicinal herbs that could only be collected in the ancient garden immediately made the lucky man make a windfall, and after that, more and more explorers poured into the ancient garden. This was the place where the port of Sentu took shape, and then, when the ancient gardens were no longer enough to satisfy the people, more people tried to form well-equipped teams to challenge the rest of the Lost World, and in short, a lot of things happened, and many brave explorers were sacrificed, and eventually, the cycle calendar appeared.
The cycle calendar is one of the two most important calendars in this world. Originally, it was just a fragmentary experience summarized by some expedition teams themselves, but it was later compiled into a complete calendar by a respected old explorer, which basically covered 80% of the laws and basic conditions of the emergence of the lost world. It can be said that the current pattern of the world is that people are associated with the Lost World and collect resources and knowledge from the Lost World and all kinds of strange religious legends related to the fragments of the other world. And so on and so forth, all of which were originally pioneered by explorers. Therefore, it is the oldest port of the Lost Age. Sentu's city symbol is the image of an explorer struggling to climb. The sculpture has no face, meaning that it refers to the explorer as a whole rather than a specific individual. ”
"It's a pity that time has passed, and many things have changed." Speaking of which, Lilina sighed, "Hundreds of years ago, explorers enjoyed a high status, but the industry was loosely structured, and dragons and snakes were mixed. There was little stability from the start. And as more and more of the Lost World Realm is thoroughly explored, there is even a permanent camp. Traveling to those worlds no longer requires great risks, and the value and status of explorers are getting lower and lower. Think about it, under the escort of the professional army, any old farmer can go to the Lost World to dig herbs, how many explorers still pay attention to it? By now, the word 'explorer' has become almost synonymous with those who have no skills or means of making a living, but only have the courage to make a living, and they rely on going to dangerous areas that have not yet been fully controlled by humans to search for treasures to survive. In addition, the ancient garden, which was originally used as an important source of herbs, is now not very popular, because all the plant seeds brought out from there are successfully cultivated on the home continent, and people no longer have to spend time and wait to collect herbs in the Lost Realm, which is one of the reasons why explorers are gradually losing their status: many of the materials produced in the Lost Continent have become worthless. Nowadays, the Ancient Garden is just a scenic stop, people start from Sentu and stay in the Ancient Garden for a short time, and then transfer to other Lost Realms, explorers will go to dangerous areas such as Ancient Cities, and tourists and merchants usually stop at the Hanging River or the Sky Tower. Hawkers, this world is really huge, I can't say it for a day, this planet that is larger than the earth is only a small part of what you can see, those fragments of the lost world world are combined, I suspect that it may be more than ten times the size of the mother planet, God knows how the Dao was formed. ”…,
I didn't expect that Lilina already knew so much about this world, to know that two days ago, she didn't know that there was such a thing as the "Lost World Realm" in the Dao, but she was able to inquire about so many things in just two days, which is really incredible. Seeing my surprise, my sister smiled and whispered, "She has been learning about the customs of this world everywhere in the past two days, so that she can show off to you all day today. I was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly: it's really this girl's style.
"Ah Jun, shall we go there to eat?" Sandora didn't care about the customs and customs of this world, these little things couldn't get into the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen, she only thought that it was time to eat, so she shook my arm vigorously and pointed to a string of food vendors on the edge of the square, "It looks delicious." ”
Lilina shook her head: "That's selling vegetable porridge and ash cakes, and the people here stew all kinds of vegetables together with a staple food like beans, and then use that beans to grind into flour pancakes, which is the most common food here, and it's delicious." Let's go, I'm in for a treat, I'm rich now, boss, and I'll tell you about our business here, the little bird is now half a protector......"
I'm interested in Lilina's story, but it's important to feed Sandora first. Soon we came to a food stall that looked quite large, our group of relatives, whether it was the royal family or the true gods of the heavenly realm, were soaked from the small commodity market and roadside food stalls, and we didn't care about the scene at all, a group of people occupied half of the entire stall at that time, and it seemed that it was almost past the meal, and there were not many people eating here, and the appearance of a large group of customers immediately made the stall owner smile: this was a short and fat middle-aged man with unusually thick hair and beard, Lilina whispered to me, He is supposed to be a hybrid of human and dwarf.
"Bring all the rest of your food, let's wrap it up," I said to the stall owner with a glance at Sandora, and I added to the other's surprised expression, "It's okay, we can't eat it, we'll take it." Then I said to Shandora: "What, if you don't have enough to eat, bear with it a little, let's go eat the next one, don't eat other people's stalls." ”
Her Majesty let out a pitiful sigh with a look on her face as if she was ready to starve......
I'm used to taking her out to dinner, so it's easy for Sandora to eat at home most of the time, at least we don't have to go to the restaurants on the whole street to prevent a sensation. While the stall owner was preparing the food, I also studied the tableware in this world, and found that except for the spoon that is almost the same as the earth, the remaining two things look very strange, one of them is a roller knife with a sharp edge, and when I asked, I realized that most of the staple food in this world is in the shape of a cake, which is specially used for cutting, and the other is a metal tong about a foot long - this seems to be the thing used to pick up food.
The operation is quite simple, I am glad that I don't have to toss around this matter like foreigners learning to use chopsticks, but it is still shallow, she did not hesitate to take out a pair of chopsticks from the carry-on space, and smiled silly at me: "Just get used to this!" ”
I thought about it too, so under the drive of shallowness, everyone gave up the strange tableware in this world, except for vanilla, everyone took out chopsticks, of course, most people did not bring chopsticks in their space (such as Pandora them), they were borrowed from shallow. When the stall owner came over, he looked at us a little stunned, I think if you open a restaurant, and suddenly a guest comes, and they throw the dishes and chopsticks aside and take out a gasoline saw from the suitcase to eat, you should have the same look.
"Hehe, we are travelers from the East, this is the custom of our hometown." I smiled and casually explained to the stall owner in a panacea way. The stall owner was even more stunned: "...... This is the easternmost part of the continent, and it is usually said that the east refers to this place. ”
Me: "......" go to your sister's online article panacea oriental mysterious country flicker...... (To be continued)
