Chapter 055: City of Glory
The team woke up early in the morning and packed their luggage.
Today is the last day of the journey, and they should be able to reach the "City of Glory" in the evening.
The countess didn't say what to do with the barbarian girl, and no one paid any attention to her, so she just hung on the spider car. However, Ryan, as a doctor, occasionally went to check her physical condition.
Perhaps the barbarian girl cried for a long time yesterday while looking at her companion's corpse, and was also hungry for a day and a night, so she had no strength left. She seemed unusually quiet today.
…
Early in the morning, the team started their journey.
Ryan thought about it and took another piece of barbecue.
Aunt Susan’s cooking skills are impeccable. The roasted meat is golden and juicy, and the aroma of meat is everywhere.
But the wild girl still seemed unappreciative and turned her head away stubbornly.
Ryan shrugged his shoulders and didn't intend to curry favor with someone he didn't like. It wouldn't matter to him if someone starved to death anyway.
But suddenly, he thought of something and uttered a strange syllable: "Eat."
He did not speak the Common Tongue, but the rich accent of the barbarian girl.
This is a barbaric .
But because there was too little reference data and the intelligent computer was not sure, he just tried it.
But as soon as these words came out, the girl looked at Crane with her bright black eyes, full of shock, as if she had heard something incredible.
Hmm...it seems like I was right.
Ryan thought it was quite interesting, and after thinking for a while he added another word: "You...eat..."
Similarly, it is the "you" analyzed by the "intelligent brain".
At this point, the wild girl could no longer remain calm and said something incoherently: "&*%ф%￥ё￥..."
Look at her surprised look, probably meaning: Can you speak our language?
Ryan only understood one syllable, which was probably "you".
I could barely utter two words, and it was impossible for me to speak a complete conversation.
He could only smile and handed over the piece of barbecue.
This time, the wild girl did not turn her head away, but looked at Ryan suspiciously, as if she felt that she should stay useful. Then, she bit a large piece of meat viciously, as if it was torn from those damn invaders.
Ryan didn't care and fed it a few more bites, as if he was feeding a poor stray kitten.
…
Not far away, Canossa also noticed this scene, and a smile appeared on his face: "Huh... I thought that barbarian would choose to starve to death, but I didn't expect him to eat. Our Doctor Ryan seems to have a good affinity..."
Beside her, the butler Benjamin reported: "President, a group of strange people stayed near our camp last night. They should be from the Black Water Terrace."
Upon hearing the news, there was no surprise on Canossa's face.
She said lazily, "With you here, those guys from Black Water Terrace probably won't be stupid enough to take action... I was originally interested in seeing what those guys had robbed from the Savage Tribe, but now it seems I won't be able to figure it out for the time being."
After a pause, she continued, "Forget it. The things at the temple are more important, and we can't bring this Let the people in the Chamber of Commerce take care of this for the time being. If it doesn't work, they can take over. Don't let our little doctor be killed by the guys from the Black Water Platform. I also want to see if he can give me any more surprises..."
Butler: "I understand, President."
…
In the evening, before nightfall, Raymond and his team arrived at the Sounding Wind Pass in the Alcolon Mountains.
Behind the towering snow-capped mountains is an endless plain.
On the plain, a huge steel city was like a ferocious black dragon entrenched on the land. Looking from a high place, the chimneys in the mechanical city stood tall, emitting billowing white smoke.
If Ryan had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there was such a mighty steel city behind this extremely remote mountain range!
The entire city is composed of five "Behemoth Lord-level" super-large mechanical cities, like a standard pentagram formation.
This is the legendary holy land of magicians, the "City of Glory" built by the only great magician among human extraordinary beings and the "Great Polymath" Cavo Ramirez, who is recognized as the number one among the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters"!
Eighty years ago, Cavo was named one of the "Ten Legends". Since then, the other nine people on the list have changed several times, but he is still alive.
Now, no one knows how powerful this legendary wizard is.
Even the current first priest of the Omar Empire's court, [Yan Mo] Hemos Sakaria, who is also one of the "Ten Legends", has to pay homage to Master Kavo as a junior.
This is a city of miracles.
When Ryan saw the city, he was also shocked by its scale. It really looked like a "utopia".
The mountain road they came from was the only way to the "Glorious City", but it was impossible for large machinery to pass through this road. How much manpower would it take to build such a magnificent city in such a place?
But the great wizard Carlo spent several decades to build an isolated city on the Hengduan Mountains.
It is precisely because of the natural barrier formed by the "Alcolon Mountains" that the two empires, even though they knew of the existence of this special city, could do nothing about it.
…
Arriving at the Loud Wind Pass, the "Mountain Antelope Group"'s mercenary mission came to an end.
After parting, team leader Bart led the team back along the original route.
After all, they would rather spend the night in the wilderness than pay the high entrance fee.
"The City of Glory" has a very special system, which is the "Contribution System".
If you stay in the city, you will have to deduct a point of contribution every day.
This "contribution value" can be exchanged for money , about ten thousand Liso in exchange for one point.
This means that outsiders entering the city have to pay 10,000 yuan in "shelter fees" every day, even if they do nothing.
This high entrance fee is higher than that of any other human city. For the lower-class civilians in the Omar Empire, it is equivalent to several months' salary.
But in fact, there is another very easy way to obtain "contribution points" in the city.
That is, you can accept tasks in the city hall, such as hunting wasteland, drawing wasteland maps, collecting materials, exploring ruins, escorting supplies...
Generally speaking, for basic jobs like moving bricks to repair city walls or working as a boiler operator, the salary for two days is about one contribution point. However, the actual value created by this job may be less than one thousand lizo, but one contribution point can be exchanged for ten thousand lizo coins.
Outsiders cannot take this kind of easy job because it is reserved for the orphans of permanent residents who died in the war.
Therefore, the cost of buying contribution points directly with money and exchanging them for tasks is almost ten times the price.
This is also the most important reason why the "City of Glory" is called a paradise for hunters. The city does not support idle people. They encourage people to go on adventures in hunting instead of staying in the city to enjoy themselves!
Most of the outsiders who came to the city to hunt for wasteland would choose to accept the task of going out of the city to hunt for wasteland on the first day of entering the city...
As long as they can successfully complete a few tasks in the wild, they can earn a lot of contribution points, exchange them for money, and return to their hometown to become small rich people.
Of course, here, in addition to the speculative hunters who dream of getting rich overnight, there are more "dream-chasing lands" where spellcasters of the extraordinary sequence pursue to become stronger!
Because here is a top magician inheritance that cannot be matched by the two great imperial royal academies!
From magic apprentice, to elementary, intermediate, and advanced magicians, and then to magician...
Whether it is elemental magic, various black magics, or mysterious spells, you can find the corresponding inheritance here.
Many famous spellcasters have had experience of training and learning in the "City of Glory".
The Great Polymath, Master Kavo, was known as the most knowledgeable being among humans. He had established a complete and all-encompassing learning and promotion system for the complete sequence of spellcasters in the "City of Glory".
Potions, magic materials, various spells, magic wands and equipment...
The shop windows of this city are always filled with the most advanced magical products in human civilization.
This place has an excellent place for training and adventure, and the remains of an ancient civilization that has never been developed...
This is the holy land of freedom!
