Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 72 Free City 2
When the carriage gently drove into the close range of Xia Ruins, Zhang Chengcheng recognized that this was indeed the free city in the game.

Because the huge gap in the city wall is too obvious.

The Xia Ruins are called "Xu", but in fact they are not completely ruins, but a city.The city is of the classical type, enclosed on the ground with tall walls.Of course, this "tall" standard is indigenous. After seeing the kind of ingenious buildings in civilized society, you will not think that this city wall is anything special.However, if all you see are castles like Kunwu City, then you will feel that the Xia Ruins are huge.

However, the city walls of Xia Ruins were damaged.In the game, if there is anything impressive about the background of the second act, it is undoubtedly the huge gap in the city wall.

It is not clear whether it is a natural or artificial consequence. In short, although the city walls of Xia Ruins are tall, they are dilapidated.There is a huge hole in the middle, like a giant chopped it with an axe, creating a huge "V"-shaped hole.So exposed to the sunset.The lower end of this opening is about one person above the ground.In other words, an ordinary person, without any tools or extra help, can easily slip into the city through this opening.

Although Kunwu City is small, it is a complete castle.The walls were intact and guards patrolled in case the enemy came.The situation in Xia Ruin is just the opposite.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and a large tract of farmland outside the city could be identified—although it was temporarily fallow due to the season, it was still easy to distinguish between farmland and wildland.

Comparing this scene with the second act of the Inu Rong game in memory, you will find that it is exactly the same.If Zhang Cheng had a little doubt before, now he is completely convinced: Xia Ruins is the free city in the game.

The gate of the Xia Ruins was wide open, and there were no soldiers on duty at the gate, let alone the atmosphere of war and turmoil.When Zhang Cheng and the others were about to enter the city, a few people came out of the city with bows and arrows, but without armor. They looked more like hunters than soldiers.The two sides passed by at the gate of the city.

One of these strangers grinned at Zhang Cheng's side and seemed very happy.But that behavior really doesn't look like a host expressing his welcome to a guest at all.On the contrary, hostility is evident.

"Who is this?" Zhang Cheng looked confused.

"Don't ask." Xia An was a little nervous. "Master Zhang Cheng, I think your carriage is a bit high-end."

"You mean... being targeted?" On the one hand, Zhang Cheng was the baptism of the information age on the earth, and on the other hand, he had spent a lot of time in this wild land, and immediately judged that this was not a good thing.

In this society where classes are so clearly divided, if there is anything politically correct about this place called "Free City", it is undoubtedly "hatred of the rich".Well, this word is inappropriate, it should be called "Qiu Gui".People here look at people like Qing Dafu, scholars, and the like, and they all carry natural class hatred.This is not to say that there is no class hatred in other places, but that class hatred in other places has been firmly suppressed by the nobles with their strength.Dare to hate you?Did you know that if you look disrespectful, you can be beaten with a whip by a noble?Knowing that if you dare to speak rudely, you will be killed in the street.To talk about resistance, let’s not say that the nobles and scholars have all received military training, and hand-to-hand combat spells and chariots are all necessary skills. When so many soldiers they keep are fake?

"Young Master Zhang Cheng can follow me." Xia An said.Since the war with the tiger side, the relationship between the three people can be said to be much closer.After all, one of the four major irons on earth has "carried a gun together".A life-and-death battle can best grow a man's friendship.Originally, according to the original agreement, after entering the city, Xia An's guide work ended.The two should say goodbye to each other and go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.But now, Xia An obviously wants to continue helping Zhang Cheng.

They entered the city gate.

As mentioned earlier, the city is huge by the standards of this world.It is estimated that it is a "county town" on the earth, but it is still very rare to see so many people in this world.As far as the eye can see, there are simple but clean houses, neat and tidy roads, and even drainage ditches are dug on both sides of the road.

To tell the truth, if these houses were not the kind of shacks for the poor in this world, at first glance, Zhang Cheng would feel that he had come to a small town in the backcountry of the earth.You can say that the residents here are not very wealthy, but you have to say that there are some very scientific and advanced planning ideas.

"Are you surprised?" Xia An noticed Zhang Cheng's expression.He couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, surprising a scholar was a small success for him. "This is Xia Ruins."

But Zhang Cheng looked around in a daze, with only one thought in his mind: unfamiliar.

He tried hard to combine the memory in the game with what he saw in reality, but this effort was futile.Because this is really not the free city in the game.In other words, after the free city in the game entered the city, it was not such an orderly scene.

There are a total of six minimaps in Free City, and the first minimap you see after entering the city... If Zhang Cheng wanted to name it, it would probably be called the "ruin area".There are only, should be, only the broken houses after the fire, the abandoned open space, and a few residents.However, there are many undead creatures here, and they will haunt at night.Players can go to the second small map to receive the task of solving these undead creatures, and then return to this small map to earn a lot of experience points in one go.

But now it seems that this area is prosperous, and there are thousands of people, even if it is tens of thousands.If nothing else, look at the neat drainage ditches on both sides of the road, which obviously require a lot of manpower to dig and maintain.In addition to these, you can also find cleverly hidden public toilets, as well as garbage stations.

"This is what you mean by... community?"

"There are six places in the Xia Ruins, and this is the best." Xia An replied. "Young Master Zhang Cheng, I suggest you find a place to live here."

Zhang Cheng already knew that although Xia Ruins had a nominal supreme ruler, the sorcerer, in reality these communities were self-governing.He knew that in this era, knowledge and technology were controlled by the nobles, and it was hard to imagine that a group of illiterate people without culture and knowledge could build such a residential area by themselves.This requires at least the ability of a planning engineer. Is it really like the old saying "working people are the smartest"?Can such a settlement be constructed spontaneously without any accumulation of knowledge?

He looked left and right in surprise, and Jia continued down the street because there was no command from his master.

"...shuoshushushuo, I don't eat my millet! I'm not willing to take care of my daughter at the age of three. The daughter who will die is suitable for the paradise. The paradise and the paradise, I can get what I want..."

Someone on the side of the road sang this song, Zhang Cheng didn't feel it at first, but soon it became clear from the malicious expressions of the roadside people and their deliberately elongated song that they were singing towards him.

Zhang Cheng knew exactly what this "Shuo Rat" was about.According to Earth, this song is a blood and tearful indictment of the working people against the corrupt ruling class.Well, now he is indeed a member of the corrupt ruling class. He owns fiefs, owns a big mansion, and even owns dozens of slaves. It seems normal to be accused.

After all, he was a soul from Earth.When I hear this kind of song, I don't feel embarrassed and angry, but a little emotional.Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't respond, and Jia didn't respond either, the three of them walked through the street without any danger.Left the crowd who sang with bad intentions.

Zhang Cheng only now understands how important first-hand information is.If the "Xia Ruins" in Xia An's mouth only made him a little curious, then the Xia Ruins in front of him definitely surprised him.

The vehicle made a turn under the guidance of Xia An, allowing Zhang Cheng to see a barn.But it may be because the cleaning is very clean, even if the distance is very close, there is no smell of that kind of livestock.But all this is for this, the line written on the wall of the barn really almost blinded Zhang Cheng's eyes.

On the wall, someone wrote a row of characters in simplified Chinese characters: Pigs should be fatter and sheep should be fed more beautifully.

Now Zhang Cheng knows what happened in this city even if he doesn't have to think about it.There are already traversers here.

The two cars came all the way to a corner of Xia Ruins.Xia An jumped out of the car and went to a barely passable house.If other houses are mostly shacks, then this house can be regarded as a cottage.There is a protective fence around the house, and it seems that the owner has a certain identity property.

Xia An got out of the car and walked up to the house.An old man walked out of the house - but the average life expectancy of human beings is not high these days, and it is premature aging by the standards of the earth, so Zhang Cheng can't judge for a while how old this person is.

Xia An gave a brief introduction, explaining that this is the village elder of this community, whose name is "Xing".

Zhang Cheng had never heard of the official title of "Country Elder", but even with his toes, he could guess that this should be the actual steward here.

Zhang Cheng felt that the person who was able to write that kind of character on the barn should have something to do with this person.So he respectfully followed the standard of etiquette in this world and made a big gift to the elders.

The other party looked at Zhang Cheng with a condescending expression and did not return the salute.By the standards of this world, such an act was tantamount to a humiliation, a humiliation that could make one draw a sword and fight a duel.But Zhang Cheng is not from this world, he doesn't care.

"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger." Zhang Cheng said in standard Earth Mandarin.Because he hadn't used the language of Earth for a long time, he had to concentrate on thinking before saying this sentence correctly and completely.

Xing's face was slightly puzzled, but there was no further reaction, which proved that Zhang Cheng guessed wrong.Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't make a second strange sound, Xing turned his attention back to Xia An, and finally waved his hand. "It's the same as last time," he said to Xia An rudely. "Two days for free, and the others require five zhongbei a day."

It was the cost of accommodation.Zhang Cheng agreed with Xia An's face full of joy, and inexplicably remembered the page of the book of planeswalkers he bought from Xia An.With what he knows so far, the travel business is really too profitable.

Xing left, obviously the whole house was handed over to Xia An, Xia An said that the house was very big and Zhang Cheng could live here with him.

A few people only had time to untie the horses from the car, and someone came next to them.Five or six men without armor, but armed with spears, geers, and bows and arrows, came in carelessly through the gate.Obviously this was not an accidental encounter, but the other party came for Xia An.

"An, have you got what I said last time?" the big man in the lead called out.

"Have it!" Xia An's grinning expression made it clear that this was a door-to-door sale. "Come here, here and here!"

He got into the carriage and came out with a golden metal ingot in his hand.

Zhang Cheng is very familiar with this thing.This is bronze, the main metallic material of this era.Don't underestimate bronze. Before the appearance of iron, bronze supported an entire era of civilization.

Zhang Cheng began to understand what Xia An's financial affairs were, and there was no shortage of bronzes in Kunwu City.

"Only one piece?" The big man's face was obviously bad.This bronze ingot is too small, only enough to make three or five weapons.

"There's more," Xia An said with a smile on his face, "but this..." No wonder he was so cautious, it is true that the travel business is indeed an industry that needs to be cautious, especially in this wild world.How many imprudent guys lost their money.

"This," the big man said no nonsense, and took a set of rolled up... tiger skins from his subordinates? "How much can I exchange?"

"It's easy to talk," Xia An got into the car and held out three bronze ingots about the same size.Now Zhang Cheng knows why his carriage always follows behind him so slowly. The car is really heavy. It's no wonder that Xia An always tries to get into Zhang Cheng's carriage, just to lighten up his horse. pressure.

The big man and a group of people left the tiger skin and left with satisfaction holding the bronze.Xia An opened the rolled tiger skin and examined it carefully.The smile on his face was like a weasel who had just picked up a chicken from a chicken coop.At a glance, you can tell that you definitely made a fortune.Tiger skin?Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered that Dr. Kunwu's war horse seemed to be wrapped in tiger's skin... This seems to be the behavior of the nobles to show off their status?
It's getting late today.In this era of no street lights, no electricity, and widespread lack of vitamin A, night blindness is rampant, and it is basically impossible to do anything at night.So even if Zhang Cheng was thinking about something, he felt that the rest of the day could only be used to rest and finish it tomorrow.

There were voices from outside, and then the door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of men and women walked in.The one in the lead is actually a woman!

It should be said that this is a young woman with a fair face and a plain face facing the sky, with crow-blue hair loosely tied into a ponytail behind her full-shaped head, wearing a clean but messy fur coat on the top, and the bottom matching Light blue skirt, casually wearing a pair of clogs on her feet.There is a kind of self-confidence that is rarely seen in women in this world in his demeanor.
