Chapter 6: The Han Merchants of the Remnant Light City
World B, Elven Empire, Remnant City.
The roads in the city are all paved with a kind of gray-white stone slabs, and there are many patterns and patterns carved on them, which not only have a non-slip effect, but also look beautiful, and look very interesting.
Elves are an environmentally-conscious race, and their cities are very clean. Su Ze looked at it along the way, and saw several batches of cleaners. Both the roads and the buildings were cleaned by them. If it is taken to the earth, it can become a model sanitary city.
Su Ze was amazed in his heart, just this park-like environment is simply the most livable city.
Another characteristic of the elf city is that there are many green belts, and in addition to roads and squares, all kinds of flowers and trees are planted everywhere. From the perspective of modern earthlings, this style of city is more appropriate to be called a "botanical garden".
However, what made Su Ze feel the most novel was that the walls of these elven cities were completely different from the style of humans. As we all know, the materials used in the walls of the earth, except for masonry and stone, are rammed earth, anyway, they are some earth and stone structures.
But the elven walls are completely different, there is not a single trace of masonry and earth on the whole wall, it is all wood! And most outrageously, these walls are alive!
That's right, alive!
These walls are not made of felled and processed wood, but of living trees.
This is a bizarre plant called the "Wall Tree". Generally speaking, there should be a distance between the planted plants, not too close, otherwise they will affect each other's growth. But the "wall tree" is completely different, if they are close together, they will gradually merge into a whole.
The material of this plant is extremely perverted, not only extremely hard, but also extremely tough, which can be called invulnerable. What's more, the tree doesn't burn, and when exposed to high temperatures, it only chars on the surface at best, and the inside produces a strange change that becomes a granite-like crystal. The most perverted thing is its recovery speed, even if it is destroyed by someone. It only takes one night to grow back and return to its original shape.
Therefore, the city wall, which is made up of "wall trees", is an existence that can make all besiegers cry.
Another advantage of this type of wall is that it is extremely labor-saving. For a city of the size of Remnant Light City, if the city walls were built using the earth-like method, there would be at least a few thousand people. But if you use the elven method, only a few dozen people are enough.
However, while this kind of wall has many benefits, other races cannot learn it. Even the old allies, the Han Empire, can only ask elves to repair this kind of city wall, but they can't play it themselves. Because only the natural ability of the elves can control this plant and make it grow according to the shape it was designed.
After listening to Rusya's introduction, Su Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this kind of thing is really perverted.
"Rusya, then do you want to make this kind of city wall?" Su Ze asked curiously.
Rusya shook her head and said, "I won't, only [Tree Shepherd] and [Forest Monk] can have this skill. And I'm a samurai and haven't learned this skill. β
[Shepherd] and [Forest Monk]?What kind of profession is this?Is it the druids of those Western fantasy works?Su Ze muttered in his heart.
....................................................................................
"Su Jun, there is the commercial area of the city in front, do you want to take a look?" When the two came to an intersection, Rusya suddenly pointed to the opposite side and said.
Seeing Rusya's excited expression, Su Xue didn't understand what the other party meant. It's clear that this elf girl wants to go shopping by herself.
It seems that women like to go shopping, which is really regardless of country and race! Su Ze felt a little crying and laughing.
However, Su Ze also wanted to see the goods here and learn more about the local situation, so he naturally agreed.
In addition to being extremely clean, the commercial area here is not much like the commercial street of the earth, with various shops on both sides of the street. At the end of the street, there is also a trading square, mainly temporary stalls, as well as a place to trade large items.
Rusya led Su Xue to visit several stores, and in less than an hour, the two of them carried more than a dozen pockets in their hands.
Su Xue looked at this large pile of things and said with some embarrassment. "Hey, Rusya, there are so many things, we can't take them. Or you wait here for a while, and I'll go to the parking lot and drive the car over. β
Well, although it is very refreshing to go shopping with beautiful women, it is offended by hands and feet. Now Su Ze has experienced it firsthand.
At that time, in order to observe the city well, Su Ze parked his "Xibeihu" in a special parking lot, and he walked all the way.
Ruth Yaqiao's face flushed, and she hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, Su Jun, I was so happy for a while, I bought too much...... "At least 95% of these things are the results of her hard work.
Immediately, she pointed to the intersection and said, "Oh, you don't have to drive your car. There is a dedicated shopping cart here. I'm going to call a ......."
After a while, Su Ze and Rusya got into a special shopping deer cart on the commercial street. The animal that pulls the cart is called the "deer", and it is a large deer that is larger than the reindeer of the earth. The deer cart is a four-wheeled vehicle with two rows of seats in front and cargo boxes in the back. Su Ze looked at it curiously and found that the craftsmanship of the vehicle was quite good, and the decoration was also very elegant. After sitting on it, I found that the car also had a shock absorber.
Su Ze, who got into the car, couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Hey, the service here is really good, there is actually a special shopping cart...... It seems that there is no such service in the shopping streets of the world......"
"Hey, Rusya, is there a store opened by the Han Empire here?" Suddenly, Su Xue found that there was a shop in front of him with four Chinese characters written on itβ"Lufeng Commercial Company......
"You said Lufeng Trading Company? Well, that's indeed a shop for the Chinese people. Rusya nodded in reply. "Hehe, the Lord's daughter is still my friend......"
"Okay, okay, then let's go in and have a look!" Su Ze was a little excited in his heart, he finally wanted to see his compatriots in this world.
The two had just walked to the door of the "Lufeng Commercial Bank", and a girl in a long skirt ran out of it......
"Wow, it's Sister Lulu!" As soon as the girl came out, she ran over and hugged Rusya.
"Hello, Moe!" Lucia exclaimed happily.
Then the two girls hugged each other and chirped crookedly, but put Su Xue aside.
Su Xue looked at the girl named Meng Meng and found that she was wearing a white skirt and a "hanging hairstyle" on her head, this hairstyle originated in the Han Dynasty and was mostly used by girls who had not left the pavilion. It is to divide the hair into strands, knot at the top, without support, so that it hangs down naturally, and ties the tail and hangs on the shoulder, also known as the swallowtail.
It seems that the Han people here really came from ancient times! Seeing this girl's dress, Su Xue was completely sure of his conjecture.
However, a closer look surprised him. This girl is actually ......
