Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 66 Midway

In the game, the first act to the second act is not opened by a mission.Instead, you have completed all the tasks you can do in the first act, and then you can find that a new area will appear on the world map, which is the so-called "free city".Of course, in reality, it is not called Free City, but Xia Ruins.

In a word, in the process of the game, the protagonist went to the Xia Ruins in a state of nothingness.

But now the situation is different, Zhang Cheng was ordered to leave, the purpose is to complete the task of Dr. Kunwu.

As before, the maid came over and asked Zhang Cheng to wash and eat.If there is any change in Kunwu City, it is that the pattern of breakfast has changed a bit.Had a stew.It is a pity that even culinary arts need a long time to accumulate and develop, so these "food" in the wild era are still not enough in Zhang Cheng's eyes.He began to feel that it was necessary to study botany when he went back, not to be able to find edible food when he was hungry or to have herbs available when he was sick and injured, but to know what kind of food could be used as a seasoning.

After breakfast, Zhang Cheng met Huang Gong in the courtyard of Kunwu City.

Doctor Kunwu had something to leave, but before he left, he had already instructed Duke Huang to make various preparations.

Dr. Kunwu's arrangement is simple and practical.

The matter of the Master of Jiuyi's archives, Quan Rong will not take it lightly.It is completely conceivable that these gnolls will definitely send competent people to deal with this matter. It is very likely that they will enter the Xia Ruins without carrying any treasures, and then receive them with the help of divine power on the altar where the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the heaven somewhere in Xia Ruins. The treasure, and then immediately "forwarded" the treasure and sent it directly to Dongyi.

Simple, direct, and fast, it can be said to be the best method that Quan Rong could come up with.Compared with sending a small team to carry treasures all the way through the territory of Zhuxia, the security is not known how much improved.

The purpose of Doctor Kunwu was to obtain the archives of the Jiuyi Master.Therefore, Zhang Cheng had to grab the treasure during the brief period when the envoy of the Quan Rong received the treasure but had not yet sent it out.It is easy to see that the core of this mission lies in the altar.As long as you monitor the altar, you can sit back and wait patiently for the treasure to appear.Relatively speaking, in terms of military force, it is much less important—you know, this kind of thing is a burden, and the number of troops of the Inun Rong messengers will not be many.

But the altar is not so simple.Because everyone knows that this Xia Ruins is the product of the Xia family moving the capital, and it is an initiative to move the capital.That is to say, before and after the relocation of the capital of the Xia family, although the altar could not be relocated, there was enough room and resources to deal with it, lest the altar of the emperor's sacrifice to the heaven be desecrated or even abused.It's not that I'm afraid that this will lead to serious consequences, but that such a situation will damage the dignity of the emperor.

In response to this situation, Dr. Kunwu plans to send two teams, one is Zhang Cheng, who is lightly dressed and Jian Cong on the road, the goal is to reach the Xia Ruins as soon as possible and find the altar in advance.The other group was Qian, who led a force to Xia Ruins to provide military support for future battles.Zhang Cheng's actions are relatively secretive, while Qian's actions are supported by the princes and can march openly.

That being said, Zhang Cheng knew that there must be a third team, Doctor Kunwu himself (and perhaps his most elite subordinates).If things change, for example, it proves that the location of the altar is not suitable for a large group of people to act, or if there are few people on the other side, but everyone is as strong as a Kryptonian wearing underwear, then Zhang Chengcheng can summon Kun through Xuan Gui. My doctor's golden thigh appeared.By the way, you can see how much ability Zhu Rong God descendant has.

All in all, the most important of the three teams is undoubtedly Zhang Cheng.

To be honest, Zhang Cheng himself didn't understand why Dr. Kunwu was so fond of him.After much deliberation, the original owner of his body is quite arrogant, and he took the initiative to try to sacrifice his life to save the prince at a critical moment. It can be said that his loyalty moved heaven and earth, and this made Dr. Kunwu so trusting.

All the necessary preparations, such as coiling, carriages, luggage, etc., Huang Gong has prepared for him.In fact, he also intends to provide Zhang Cheng with several followers.But Zhang Cheng remembered the situation of Free City in the game, and finally refused.

The place in the free city is no better than the refugee camp. The refugee camp here will receive preferential treatment with high status, and the free city is just the opposite.

"By the way, I want to bring a few dogs there." Zhang Cheng suddenly made this request. "The best dog."

In the game, there are several missions in Free City that require dogs, otherwise it will be difficult.

Duke Huang was puzzled, but this was a trivial matter, so he had no objection. "I asked Mr. Qian to take it with him when he set off. Well, there are not many dogs here in Dr. Kunwu. The best dog is... the one that Dr. Kunwu gave you. Why don't you take them all?"

"Take them all." Zhang Cheng replied casually.

In the morning, Zhang Cheng took a car and set off with Xia An who led the way.

Ann was alone, and his carriage was one of those single-horse horses, and he drove it himself.On Zhang Cheng's side, there are two people, Jia is in charge of driving, and the carriage is equipped with two horses.

During this time, with the contact, Zhang Cheng slowly felt that Jia was still trustworthy.Of course, this may also have something to do with the times. The people of this "ancient era" are relatively simple, let alone an ordinary soldier like Jia, even if it is Xia An who is doing business there and is regarded as a profiteer, compared to the people on earth. Come with me, she is pure like a kindergarten girl.

This trip was no different than going to deal with Gui Rong or going to one's own fief before. According to the guide, that is, Xia An, it took many days to travel by car.Xia An couldn't tell exactly how many days this "multiple days" was.There are no speed measuring instruments these days, and it is difficult to judge the speed of your own actions.According to Xia An, if the speed is fast, it will take five to seven days, and if it is slow, it may take eight to twelve days.Zhang Cheng estimated at a speed of [-] kilometers per day, and estimated that the Xia Ruins were about [-] kilometers away from Kunwu City.

Although the road is long, it is not boring.This is mainly because Xia An is quite funny.He is a businessman after all, and since the emergence of the businessman profession, "speaking" has always been a key rigid indicator.The salesmen on Earth even claim to "bring the dead alive".Don't look at the scar on Xia An's face, he looks like a fierce look that no strangers should enter, but after getting along for a long time, he will soon find out that he is good at chatting, and can easily change the boring and long journey into a Full of laughter and a relaxed atmosphere.

In particular, Xia An seems to be a big mouth, dare to say anything, can say anything, and does not take it to heart.

As for why the two cars can chat... It's mainly because Zhang Cheng's car is not the kind of car he imagined for passengers.In fact, the car actually made the passengers stand.But this one is easy to understand: the world has neither smooth roads nor damping springs.This kind of carriage makes people sit, so it is not called a carriage, but a bone shaker.Of course, it's not impossible to sit, which means a lot of precious fur cloth or the like to cushion.Not to mention whether Dr. Kunwu has such a car or not, if you go out in such a car alone, safety is a problem - these things are of high value.

Therefore, things naturally turned into a strange pattern in Xia An's favor: Zhang Cheng and Xia An stood in a car, and Jia was driving ahead.And Xia An's horse followed Zhang Cheng's carriage automatically without being driven away.

Jia dismissed this, but didn't bother to care.

Zhang Cheng also chatted with Xia An in this way, and by the way, he learned more about the common sense of this world.Although the little bear knows a lot of things, most of what it knows is some secret knowledge.Little is known about the details of human daily life.

If Zhang Cheng didn't know much about the world before, then in the chat, he made up a lot in this respect.Xia An is a travel merchant, the kind who has seen the world.In his mouth, outside the control of the city or the castle, it is basically the same as what Zhang Cheng sees right now, that is, a wilderness.

This is quite in line with Zhang Cheng's understanding: in this era, the level of technological development is very low, the population is small, and there are many threats.In order to ensure safety, most of the population is gathered in a limited area around the town.In this way, when danger occurs, people can hide in the castle in time to resist the danger.To put it simply, human gathering areas are actually "points" with castles or cities as the core, and there is no real connection.And the limit of the control range of a castle is probably the so-called "fifty miles", which is equivalent to a walking radius of about six or seven hours.

This also explains why before the Huai Yi entered the swamp, Dr. Kunwu and others thought they were tribes that migrated over.Because the human control area is actually mixed with a large number of no-man’s land.In other words, it is very difficult, but not impossible, for an alien tribe to migrate across thousands of miles.

In the same way, there is a certain possibility that the messengers of Inu Rong do not intend to use divine power to teleport, but directly send a team of messengers to transport treasures.

Slowly, Zhang Cheng changed the topic to Xia Ruins.

The "Free City" seen in the game is one thing, the Xia Ruins in Xia An's mouth is another.Probably different angles of the same place.

Xia An claimed that he often went to Xia Ruins because the management of that place was very loose.Anyone, be it a fugitive slave, a robber, or an alien, can come and go freely.That means any businessman can go there.Of course, the cost is also very high, that is, the security in that place is extremely bad.Xia Xu is divided into several communities, most of which are local residential areas, with paramilitary forces of the nature of self-defense groups, at least barely maintaining a certain order.But there are also areas that are open to temporary outsiders, and the security in that place is a mess.It was fine during the day, but if there were no robbery, murder, theft, etc. cases at night, it would be an incredible miracle.

Profiteering naturally exists in such a free and dangerous place.It is said that the robbers or aliens in the surrounding area (of course there are also dogs) in the Xia Ruins deal with loot or buy necessities.Xia An frankly, he has found a good way to make a fortune - because the items in Kunwu City and Xia Ruins complement each other.What's even better is that this section of the road is not particularly far away, the field conditions are good, there are not many dangerous beasts, and there are no particularly rampant robbers and bandits.

"So, there are so many people in Xia Xu, so after all, there is someone who is in charge, right?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The one who calls the shots? If there is, it must be a sorcerer." Xia An thought for a while and answered. "Without witches, there would be no Xia Ruins, at least not the current Xia Ruins. You know, Xia Ruins are chaotic, but they have never gotten out of control. Even those robbers who kill people without blinking their eyes are afraid here and don't dare to be reckless. Reckless. Otherwise, how could Xia Ruins become what they are now? Large-scale gangs of bandits have long been attracted to loot the entire Xia Ruins."

"Wizard? A wizard is... a great witch?"

"Yes." Xia An replied.He sighed lightly. "Unfortunately, I haven't seen a witch. It is said that he doesn't know whether it is because he is old or for some other reason, and he does not appear often. But he must be here in Xia Ruins.

An old man?By the way, is there such an old man in the second act of the game?Zhang Cheng tried hard to recall, but he had no impression at all.Of course this is also normal.On the one hand, the game screen is not exquisite, and it is really difficult to distinguish the age and so on. On the other hand, the experience of Kunwu City tells him that the content in the game is not equal to everything, just as there is no Dr. Kunwu in the game, and there is no yellow bear, Ba. Snakes and so on appear the same.Zhang Cheng is now convinced that as long as the timeline is staggered, then you will encounter all kinds of characters who are not in the game.

In the same way, if you leave the game's map, you will definitely encounter more.I don't know what to expect in this vast world.
However, this thought was quickly dispelled.At least for now, getting out of the game's guidelines isn't a good option.Even if he wants to travel around the world, he has to wait until the end of the game according to the flow of the game, he has such a grade of fifteen or six, and he is able to protect himself.

"If the sorcerer doesn't show up, then what is going on at Xia Ruin..."

"Every resident's community has a leader who is elected by everyone," Xia An said. "As for those outsider communities, there are also several leaders. They each occupy an area. As long as they pay a little protection fee, at least they won't be publicly robbed during the day. In short, the safety of the residents' communities is guaranteed, while the outsider communities are more free to do business. So I came up with a good idea: as long as you have a good relationship with the leaders of the residential community, you will be able to gain a foothold there."

"Are the self-defense groups in the communities you mentioned just now quite powerful?" Zhang Cheng had seen Doctor Kunwu's army and the armed caravan of the Chu people.Obviously, there are differences in this world's army, but I just don't know how the military strength here in Xia Xu is.

If Xia Xu's military strength is strong, he has to make some preparations to prevent these forces from being ignored at a critical moment.

"No, it's not bad at all. That's why there are often robberies and murders. It's just that everyone knows how to tolerate three points. Otherwise, the big witch will be disturbed, and things will be difficult to end."

"The great witch... the witches are very strong? Very powerful?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking, seeing the other party repeatedly emphasizing this point.

"Great? I really don't know." Xia An's expression was a bit like looking at an idiot. "But it doesn't matter if the great witch is powerful or not? You dare to offend the great witch? Not even the princes dare!"
