Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

Chapter 66

The two of them lay on the bed after taking a shower, slept long and unintentionally, covered the quilt and started chatting.

Gu Qinghe showed off his senior knight badge, and he had to say that a good horse and excellent harness also became his bonus points.

"Zheng Shuang and I passed the assessment together. Immediately afterwards, a local mercenary leader approached us and invited us to go out to suppress the bandits, and we agreed. The power system of the aborigines is indeed different from ours. It is also a physical melee profession." , Some people have flames on their swords, some people's weapons can deform, and they have the ability to attack from a distance...and we are called arcane knights.

That mercenary group included a dozen of us, with more than 20 targets. Finally, a mountain was pacified and two heinous wanted criminals were found out. It was a small-scale war.The bounty is actually not that much, it’s because the team leader distributed the stolen goods after sweeping up the bandit’s lair, about 100 gold coins plus some supplies per person, and the light mage who is in charge of healing gets more…”

He has come into contact with the sinister and dangerous side of this world since he came. The experience of the past few days has been heart-pounding. Not only did he have to fight hard, but also the road to escort the bandit back to Varian is also very difficult and accident-prone.Noticing that Xiao En just completed the task when he went online, he declined the solicitation of the local mercenary leader, left Zheng Shuang, and rushed over to join his lover.

Xiao En hugged Lao Gong distressedly, and also talked about what he observed along the way, inserting what he had seen and heard in his previous life without any trace.

The development of the different world is not standing still. The reference provided by the original book "Pislan's Travel Notes" is basically only a framework, and the author who misunderstood it also has misunderstandings, and the content he wrote may not be correct. .

The most populous race in Pislan is not humans, but dwarves, followed by orcs, and the third is humans.

It's just that human beings generally have the characteristic of wandering around the world and blending well with other races, which gives people the illusion that there are human beings everywhere.

This world where magic elements are abundant and everyone has a magic physique seems to suppress fertility.In addition to the dwarves with forbidden magic physique, which are often dozens of families with four generations under one roof, orcs and humans, even nomadic farming families that urgently need more labor, do not have many offspring.This situation is placed on the noble royal family, and it has also caused many examples of illegitimate children becoming regulars and clan sons taking positions.

The fourth most populous is the dwarf tribe, and the status of financial predators has been standing for thousands of years.In the travel notes, they ridiculed that they popped out of rocks. In fact, they are not. They reproduce normally, but they are reproductively isolated from other races.

The dwarves, whose adult height is generally about 0.8 meters, have a five-headed body, horizontally long pointed ears, exquisite facial features, and focus on appearance, and are shorter than the dwarves who are about 1.3 meters tall.However, a smart mind can't save a slender and soft body. Most dwarves don't like to go out and walk around, and any orc over 2 meters tall can accidentally step on them.

Then there are the elves, the number is by no means as small as they imagined, let alone rare.

Montgostin has already given Sean "science popularization". Although they were all born in the same tree, there are examples of reincarnation, but there is no fixed total number, except for the elves whose bodies are buried under the tree" "Reincarnation", there are additional new fruits every year, but the birth rate in the past few hundred years is not as good as before. He suspects that it is caused by the influence of the magic energy leaked from the passage from the other world.

The elves are the darlings of nature. They were born with Marysu Tomsu's script as the protagonist. Their magical talent is the most among the eight tribes. If they don't die, their life expectancy is astonishing-the elf king of the previous generation died of natural old age at more than 2000 years old.This generation of Queen Zhuo Yade is said to be around 1600 years old, reigning for 1201 years, Meng Gostin is 1253 years old, and there are more than a dozen elders over a thousand years old who assist the Queen together.

But dying seems to be the nature of the elves. Curiosity, hyperactivity, gullibility, love to play, love waves, face control, restlessness in the room, inadvertent making friends, challenging the rules, creating miracles, pursuing poetry and distant places... are all this family tag, more afraid of boredom than death.Even Montgostin, who didn't have ADHD and stayed at home all year round to do academic research, couldn't control the prehistoric power in his body and died.

The sixth largest population is the Sea Clan, who live on the east and west coasts of the mainland, and are more concentrated in the southeast of the mainland and the Dragon Island Kingdom.

Their appearance is no less than that of elves, their inhuman signs are obvious, their skin is fair and smooth and hairless, they have fin-shaped ears, the ear holes can be closed independently, there is a layer of skin between their hands and feet, their nails are hard and sharp enough to rival orcs, and they also have two sets of respiratory systems .The special requirements for the living environment made their family seldom go deep into the inland, and the sea caravan only did business in the river basin not far from the mouth of the sea, and they refused to disembark easily.

Then there are the dragons, or the descendants of the dragons, who freely transform between dragons and humans-this is recorded in the historical documents of their family.Xiao En analyzed it and thought that it was a fictional myth and legend, which is the same reason as some ancient ruling classes fabricated their glorious background for themselves.

The eyeballs of dragons are vertical pupils, with a layer of nictitating membrane, and then the eyelids. At first glance, they seem to have two layers of eyelids. Their skin is harder than that of humans. It is said that occasionally there will be scales growing on the body surface. A symbol of noble blood——Sean has never seen such a scaled person in his previous life. Just listening to the description, this family is more like a lizard evolved into a human than a dragon...

The royal family of the Dragon Island Kingdom is the Dragon Clan. The descendants of returning ancestors have the priority of inheritance, and they care about the purity of blood. There is no reproductive isolation and intermarriage with dwarves, orcs, humans, and sea races. Most of them are humans and sea people.

Perhaps it is because the author of the original work has never set foot on Dragon Island. The dragon race in "Pislan Travel Notes" is a vague description of hearsay, and the game company "Peace Continent" cut off the setting of this race.

The last is the blood race. The population of other races starts from tens of thousands, and the number of people with more than ten million. The total number of blood races can be counted with fingers. They are powerful, eternal and reclusive. Their origins are a mystery, and there are no decent official legends. They are all born with big brains. Made up different "origins" for them.

There are theories about the products of chaos, about human mutations, about the mutated fruits of the mother tree of life, about the descendants of the dark gods who were defeated by the god of light... Even Mengostin, who has lived for thousands of years, is not sure, but only for the light. The set made up by the gods scoffed.

From east to west and from south to north, the continent of Pislan is the Dragon Island Kingdom ruled by the Dragon King, the Salmen Principality and the Laxien Principality, which are supported by the two human princes, and the Free City-State of Sousse, which has no unified political power. United, the Grand Duchy of Stabery ruled by blood princes, the Papal State of Illuminati ruled by human popes, the East Empire ruled by human emperors, and the Snowman Kingdom ruled by orc kings.

It is not to say that races without independent countries have no right to speak. The dwarves control the invisible empire of mining, metallurgy, and arms manufacturing;

The dwarves have almost monopolized the financial industry chain of banking, insurance, pawns and various derivative businesses. The Minister of Finance of the East Empire is a dwarf who is favored by the emperor;

The Sea Clan is worse, most of them live in large and small islands and coastal towns, and exchange aquatic products, pearls, corals, magic stones and other supplies with the inland. Title, owning independent island territories scattered all over the country.

Although the technology in the Pislan continent is underdeveloped, magical magic is everywhere. The high-end alchemy of the old days has entered the homes of ordinary people. There are even unified water supply and sewage pipes in the cities, and richer villages also have special equipment to pump groundwater.

The magic stone as an energy source is produced from a foggy, translucent magic mine. It is distributed in the mountains, underground, and under the sea. The price is cheap and the mining volume is large, which is equivalent to the coal mines on the earth.

In addition to considering the terrain and water sources, the completion of the aborigines' settlement must be close to the magic stone mine to develop into a large town.

I don’t know the reason for the energy supply process. It will only extract the mixed magic power without producing waste gas and waste. After finishing, it can even be recharged repeatedly by the user with his own mana until it is broken into transparent "slag" for recycling and burial... To Sean and the others, it looks like a rechargeable battery.

Xiao En privately thinks that in Pislan Continent, at most, the royal family will force the internal usurpation and stop at local wars, and the whole can achieve a delicate balance without any extermination of the country and genocide. Essence and careerists are subject to the two long-lived races of vampires and elves, and the abundant and green energy sources should also be a major reason.

After communicating and talking about the miraculous non-human races seen in the new world, the night was dark, and the two of them felt powerless to do anything more after traveling all the way. They hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, Sean knocked on the door of Montgostin's room and found that the mermaid lord of his family was obsessed with mentally retarded toys early in the morning. Putting the lost boats in order, reassembling the broken wooden dance troupe, and wiping off the water sprayed from the elephant fountain... I don't know who is taking care of whom.

"Why did you wake up!" Montgostin showed a relieved expression when he saw the person coming: "Hurry up and take this weird flower back, I can't stand it anymore."

Sean looked at him sluggish, and asked with a guilty conscience, "Did you...haven't slept all night?"

"That's right! Didn't sleep! Did you release this guy on purpose to torment me?" Considerately not bothering the loving couple, the obsessive-compulsive disorder of cleanliness and the house-demolition maniac fought all night, crying: "Since you took the toy away Come out to play for him, and the nightmare begins! Janet is asleep, why doesn’t he want to sleep? Aren’t they all virtual creatures?”

The world of independent AI advanced NPCs is not something ordinary people can understand. Sean smiled awkwardly. Some suspect that in order to prevent players from falling into a hopeless "man-machine relationship", the game designer deliberately indulges the good-looking NPCs to develop bad personalities. Bring tons of mental damage to players to achieve the purpose of curing cancer.

Sean clicked on the call bar and took back the mermaid holding the toy with a narrow face: "Sorry, I didn't expect..." He can be so bad that even the fraternal and tolerant elves can't stand it.

Cubs can't travel long distances and stay up late, so the family of three stayed in Hanbeiyin Town for an extra day, no matter how tight the time is and the tasks are heavy, there is no shortage of leisure time.

It is very close to Varian, and there are already more than 20 teammates "online" within the signal overlapping range, and they can also send messages to the commander in chief who is farther away.

After the report, Xiao En took Gu Qinghe and treated himself as a tourist, wandered around the town, experienced the lifestyle of the aborigines, and found out that there was body lubricant here, but no condoms... two People put this on the agenda.

Returning to the main line after the unscrupulous investigation, the development of the real Pislan continent is similar to that of the earth at the end of the 19th century. The alchemy machinery has reached the standardization and quantification, and the magic stone energy has been widely used, even in one step, which makes the travelers envious. The clean energy of envy and hatred facilitates all aspects of life, and can be used by dwarves with forbidden magic physique, ordinary people with low magical talent, and even Muggles on earth.

The development of production tools did not make this world of swords and magic go on the road of industrialization. Fine handicrafts are still flourishing. Clothing, armor, weapons... all have to be adjusted according to the user's race, figure, occupation, and natural body quality. In this regard, the combination of dwarf designers and dwarf blacksmiths is the most popular.

A self-contained magician is a bit complicated. Unlike warriors who have been raised in mixed societies since childhood and have simple and rough occupational classifications, mages have formed three complete education systems—one is the wide enrollment of various academies affiliated to the Magic Association, The second is that the highly respected mages carry out inheritance education in the way of master leading apprentices, and the third is the seminary affiliated to the Guangming God Sect, which only trains priests and paladins with bright physiques.

Outstanding pharmacists, alchemists, and enchanters are often also outstanding magicians. This field cannot be understood by Muggles who rely on game systems to pretend.

After Xiao En and Gu Qinghe toured around Hanbeiyin Town, they began to think about which industries would bring money quickly—if they wanted to establish a base for a secret operation team, it would be difficult to move without money.

The most profitable mining and finance have been monopolized by the dwarfs, so find another way.

At the same time, they have to use a method that these Muggles can understand, is low-cost, does not take too much energy to find people, and does not touch the sensitive nerves of local forces.

In this they have Mongostin as their ready adviser.

Raising horses and farming like in holographic games is not feasible. In real life, the flow of information in the rural environment is slow, the growth cycle of animals and plants is very long, and the problem of unfamiliar pests and diseases must also be considered. The game backpack cannot hold local products for trading , the teleportation scroll does not exist, and they have no advantage over the aborigines.

Sean opened the e-book "Necessary Skills for Traversing Ancient Times" stored in the system panel, and compared the current situation one by one to cross out papermaking, printing, gun/powder, glass, soap making, sugar refining, refined salt refining, perfume, restaurants, etc. ...

"There's nothing left." Sean spread his hands, and silently added in his heart unless we engage in brainwashing/selling.

Gu Qinghe also has a variety of e-books. He had a heated discussion with his online comrades in the guild exchange area, and found that in the case of not being able to break the law and commit crimes, nothing would be better than running some dangerous bounty missions in the short term to get money quickly.

Sean disagreed with this: "I don't want you to take risks. The game system is limited. If you accidentally kick the iron plate..." He was calculated by others in his previous life and was finally killed by a fallen beast. feeling.

"The difficulty of the task can be increased step by step, at least to get the cost of establishing the headquarters and expanding the wireless communication network." Gu Qinghe said.

Sean was noncommittal, while listening to the group chat meeting of the guild where his father was, while playing with a mentally retarded toy in his hand-suddenly, he came up with a bold idea.
