Three types of civilization games

Chapter 4 Icacia Capital City (1)

Following the footsteps of the girl in the forest, after a while, the jungle turned into a bush, and beside the bushes was a green farmland. The wind stirred up wheat waves in the field full of wheat in the distance, and in the distance was a rising city wall and the cities that follow.

A large army of masons, laborers, and sorcerers is using magic-guided winches to mechanically repair the city wall, and the pulley block engraved with magic runes is slowly rotating, pulling up the huge granite that has just been mined.

Magical pulverizers are grinding limestone into powder, which is mixed with volcanic ash and stirred vigorously in seawater to obtain "mortar" for building walls.

Many Icacias gathered around the construction site to watch, most of them were old and weak women and children. After witnessing the completion of a section of the city wall, they burst into cheers and blessed the emerging Icacia.

They have the faces of people from the Mediterranean coast, full of pride and enthusiasm.Dress in a mixture of ancient Greek and Egyptian styles - a fusion of Shuriman and Icathian cultures.

The reincarnations hiding in the grass are very excited. They are excited that they have finally come into contact with the human community, which is the first step to success.

Under the excitement, there was apprehension. Although they had the promise of the main god, they were still deeply afraid of being regarded as "outsiders" in such a sensitive period when the war was approaching.

The others hesitated on the spot, but Yu stepped on the main road to the city gate openly and aboveboard. Lan Bing immediately followed, and the others could only follow after seeing this.

Seeing the reincarnated people coming, the onlookers were not at all surprised by their black hair and black pupils, nor did they comment on their "outlandish clothes".

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief—the Lord God's help has worked.

When entering the city, the guards stopped the reincarnations and asked them to explain their origins.

Everyone's hearts tightened violently.

Yu saw that this was just a routine interrogation, so he calmly answered the city guard's question in very standard Mandarin.

With the "help" of the Lord God, the city guard "understood" the Chinese language, and he let the guard go after saying "the accent is very authentic" to the captain.

I don't know how he heard the so-called "accent".

Five people successfully entered the city.

The scene on the street stunned everyone—the roads cut out of marble were tightly stitched together, and a "big torch" of more than five meters stood on the side of the road, with simple magic runes engraved on the top to stimulate the magic light source in the lampshade. It turned out to be a magical version of a street lamp.

Bamboo woven baskets are placed behind every ten street lamps, and pedestrians throw garbage into them from time to time.

The tall clock tower standing in the city center in the distance is engraved with twelve magic runes, and the third rune clockwise is emitting a soft white light—it is three o'clock in the afternoon.

A river runs through the city center, and Icathian artisans have built an arched bridge over the bridge, every stone cut and laid with uncompromising precision.Up close, the stone crevices are clean—meaning no mortar was needed to build the bridge.

Compared with the depression of the reinforced concrete forest with neon lights, the magical city of Icacia has a classical, solemn, and natural beauty.

But the smell of smoke and flames spoils the beauty.The capital city is in chaos - people vent their emotions this way, the statue of the sun disc was torn down from the roof by the crowd and smashed, the streets are littered with debris, walk on the street and be careful of sharp debris scratched.

The writings of Shurima were burned and their treasures looted;

Icathians who have friends and business relationships with Shurima are not immune to this, even if someone has a Shurima face;
Those girls who associate with the Shurima people are tied with ropes, and the young people happily lead them through the streets, as if leading their own livestock;
Statues of dead Sun Emperors were desecrated, and Shurima-inspired art and antiques were smashed.The reincarnators even saw the mob blatantly defecate towards the huge mural, which made Shen Mengfei blush.

Instead of paying attention to these, they took to the high street amidst the riots to buy necessities.

The shops of the Shurima people on the commercial street were all attacked, but fortunately, the shops of the Icathians were intact, so that everyone would not return empty-handed.Those "trophies" are being sold by the Icathians at outrageously low prices.Seeing that most of the stolen goods were gold, silver, jewelry, and personal accessories, Yu immediately lost interest, and turned around and led everyone to a bookstore.

After entering the bookstore, Yu pointed to the most conspicuous list of books on the counter, said that he wanted all of them, and then took out a 100 yuan note and handed it to the boss—this scene shocked everyone, and Yu’s behavior has no meaning here. It's different from shopping with a piece of paper.

But the Lord God translated the Word.

What happened next surprised everyone even more—the boss showed a particularly friendly expression. He carefully wrapped the books that Yuzhi was holding in parchment, then opened the drawer beside him, and took out fifteen books in pain. A golden coin was handed to Yu along with the book.

"Several people often come to take care of me after the war..." When everyone left, the boss personally sent them to the door.

Yu showed everyone the fifteen coins, ten big and five small. These coins are quite Shurima style, with a round head and a pointed tail, and a hole at the head end that can be threaded with a rope. The larger ones extend from the gap to the end. Five hollow lines, the smaller one has only one.

Lan Bing recognized these coins: "Ancient coins, auxiliary equipment before revision. It can be seen that our currency has a high purchasing power here." She silently calculated, "The big one is the face value of five yuan here, and the small one is It's one yuan."

"Sister Lan Bing, why do you say that the purchasing power is very high? Isn't it just spending 45 to buy a few books?"

Lan Bing raised her hair: "Paper was very expensive in ancient times."

When Lan Bing explained Shen Mengfei's doubts, Yu took out the books he had bought, three times five, and everyone got three books.One is "Map of Icathia"; one is "Introduction to Magic"; the last is "Map of the City".

"Great, with these, we are not blind, and we are not clueless about magic," Wang Hui beamed with joy.

Next, everyone found the best hotel in the city according to the city map.They wanted to book six connected high-end single rooms for a good rest, but were told that there were only three connected double rooms left in the high-end area.The five people didn't want to bother to go to other hotels to inquire, and they didn't want to settle in the low-end area, so they booked the three double rooms.

Everyone got the key to open the door lock and looked at the layout of the room.

There is a bed in the not-so-large room, and the mattress is neatly placed on the bedside shelf.The floor of the room was oak, and it was kept clean.The lighting in the room is acceptable, and what's even more rare is that the nameless bonsai placed by the window exudes an aroma similar to malt.

The four breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to get ready to rest—they were all exhausted after traveling for so long.

But Yu called everyone into the middle room. He looked at the sun that was slowly setting outside the window and said, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon. We found a foothold and trekked for a day and a night. Everyone worked hard. We It's the same. But it's not time to rest, there are still many things to do. First of all, we have to spend all the money we have on us to buy items that can strengthen our combat effectiveness. Please put money on the table."

After all, Yu took out one thousand from himself, Shen Mengfei and Wang Hui took out fifteen thousand, and Lan Bing took out eight hundred.

In the age of digital currencies, people don't have much cash on them.The digital currency in the smart terminal is obviously unusable.

Seeing that everyone took out their money, Liu Xiaoxiao reluctantly took out two hundred and put it on the table.

Yu began to assign tasks: "Shen Mengfei took a small amount of money and went to the innkeeper and passers-by to inquire about the news. The key point is to find out how many days away the Shurima army is. At the same time, we also need to inquire about the residences of the four plot characters, namely Jake Si, Collin, Akzam, Kieran.

If it is inconvenient to inquire directly, you can inquire about their work units, such as the shop of the jeweler's father in Akzam, and the location of the governing meeting. If you find them, you can follow the clues to find the plot characters.After finishing these, go to help Wang Hui. "

"Wang Hui took half of the money and went to the city to search for all the things we might need, focusing on armor weapons and magic items. It is difficult to buy these during this time period. But it is very important, so please spend some effort."

"Liu Xiaoxiao took the rest of the money and went to the alchemy shop to buy glass vessels, beakers, test tubes, crucibles, and two kinds of 'caustic acid' as the Icacias call them. The thicker the better. You also need to buy sugar, sulfur, and saltpeter , charcoal, spirits, flour, bamboo tubes, oil. The more the better. Remember to come back before it gets dark.”

"Lan Bing doesn't need to go. After resting, read "Introduction to Magic" and develop your own abilities. At present, you are our core combat power, and your abilities are related to whether we can survive this reincarnation. I also stay here to conceive , perfect the plan.” Yu said.

"Don't be afraid of being tired now, sweating is better than bleeding."

Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes showed deep dissatisfaction.

He thought bitterly: You created opportunities for yourself to be alone with beautiful women, and you deliberately made it difficult for yourself to buy chemicals...

His best chemistry score was as high as 21 points.

.......
The others went to do their own tasks, and there were only Lan Bing and Yu left in the room, and the atmosphere became delicate.

Lan Bing's complaint broke the delicate atmosphere: "Actually, you don't have to ask Shen Mengfei to go with you anymore, you should arrange for her to buy chemical materials."

Yu sighed: "This arrangement will be counterproductive. If this is the case, then don't do it."

Lan Bing was silent, and she picked up a book to cover her fair face: "Actually, I think it's not okay to let Liu Xiaoxiao go and let other people go to buy chemical materials. It should be you or me. go."

Yu was also sitting on a chair with a book in his hands, and he asked rhetorically, "Sometimes it is quite advisable to pay a price to see a person clearly. Isn't it?"

When he said this, Lan Bing frowned in disgust: "That bastard has been following me when he was looking for fruit, and when I awakened my magic power, he even came up to ask about my health. It's disgusting."

"Don't worry, you'll see him clearly soon, let's read the book first."
