Chapter 21 It's Really Medieval! 【Seek further reading】

With anticipation in his heart, Chen Xuan kept moving forward without feeling tired at all.

After the real start of the trek, Rebecca's physical advantages became apparent.

She walked briskly and looked very alert.

Chen Xuan was not the only one eager to reach Magtan City as soon as possible.

In fact, Rebecca Miray is also looking forward to it in her heart. She misses her mother and younger brother who live in Heijie.

And she still has a savings of a few hundred crowns in the city, although it is not enough to go to the catman temple for baptism, but it is also enough to maintain expenses for a period of time.

The slave contract only restricted her, and did not affect the wealth she had accumulated before.

This was the little freedom Rebecca Miray had left.

Moving on, the terrain slowly descended, leading to neat and flat fields planted with some kind of grain.

The fertile soil in the forest only needs to cut down the trees, dig out the roots, and then simply loosen the soil to turn it into farmland.

It's just that the crops in these fields are not growing as expected, which can be described as "crooked melons and dates", and there is obviously a lack of care and care.

Viewed from the sky, the fields appear as beautiful patches dotting the edge of the forest.

Full of ragged, backward feeling.

Occasionally, clover fields and alder bushes can be seen, decorating the land with different colors.

In the distance to the north, you can see the outline of misty blue mountains. They tower above the strange green forest and outline the direction of the horizon.

Noisy ducks, hooters and herons hide in ponds next to alder bushes.

I have to admit that the closer to the town, the more normal the landscape painting style.

Monsters seem to exist only in another world, not yet to the extent of "zombie siege".

……

Four hours later, they finally reached the outskirts of Magtan City.

There was only one rest along the way to replenish food and water.

During the period, I also met several farmers driving ox carts, carrying wooden shields and iron forks.

There was also a group of adventurers riding mountain horses walking in the opposite direction with Chen Xuan.

Although the Kolo Leon farm has been destroyed, the monster cave in the Eya Forest is still a "monster spawning point" relatively close to Magtan City.

For the magic core and materials, there will always be adventurers going forward.

The two sides did not interfere with each other, and there was no communication, only a slight collision of eyes.

Both of them were wearing hoods, and they looked like adventurers walking together in a hurry.

On the contrary, the "intercept" crossbow in Chen Xuan's hand, because of its avant-garde and novel shape, attracted many curious eyes, but it didn't cause any trouble.

After all, there are too many fancy weapons in the city.

And towns are not just settlements, but centers of regional order.

Adventurers here dare not be too presumptuous.

Currently, the place where Chen Xuan is located is said to be the outskirts of the town, but in fact it is still a few miles away from Magtan City.

A short distance ahead lay villages and farms surrounded by triple walls.

On the tall sentry towers are erected crossbows and catapults reinforced with iron sheets.

On both sides of the road are horses with spikes and village guards with long hooks and knives.

The villages and farms on the outskirts of these towns are like a star ring, surrounding the city of Magtan.

They are also the town's first line of defense!
Looking out from the high point of the terrain here, you can already see the distant view of the city.

The real city of Magtan is far bigger than Chen Xuan expected.

It is conservatively estimated that it is at least a bit larger than the county-level city of Blue Star.

It lay across the ground, like an extremely irregular mottled scar.

The rammed earth road extending from the west passes directly through the village and gradually becomes wider.

This road is just one of many in the surrounding area.

The city of Magtan is an important meeting point of all road lines.

Entering the village, the unpleasant smell hits the face, as if passing by the door of the public toilet.

Here, Chen Xuan saw a chicken with two heads, a cow with four eyes, and a mule with a protruding back that was as big as a heavy draft horse...

Villagers are mostly humans, with a few quilboars and bearded dwarves.

To be honest, perhaps because he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when Chen Xuan saw these alien races, he didn't feel any surprise in his heart.

The main reason is that the life forms of these guys are almost the same as human beings, and there is no sense of disobedience.

In exchange for two pieces of baguette with the packaging removed, Chen Xuan and Rebecca boarded a mule cart into the city.

The straw-stuffed cart has the peculiar stench of cow dung.

They sat alone on one side, and soon another farmer in rough sackcloth got into the car with a few cents, fruits and grains, and leaned on a position far away from the two of them.

"Snapped!"

The sound of clear whips sounded, and the mule cart headed towards Magtan City.

……

After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at Magtan City.

The mule carts stopped outside the city to undertake the work of transporting goods to the nearby traveling merchants.

Chen Xuan and Rebecca got out of the car and looked at each other.

In front of them was a city tower with a height of more than 20 meters, and they were located at the west city gate.

The front and rear two huge steel gates are suspended by thick ropes, which can be lowered separately in case of emergency.

There are tooth-shaped walls on the tower, and there are braziers and rattan baskets filled with arrows.

Every five or six meters away stood an archer with a longbow on his back, looking listlessly into the distance.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, daily labor is indispensable.

Two tattered flags fluttered in the wind, and the emblem of the bird on the wrist could be vaguely seen on it.

At the gate of the city, there is a group of town guards wearing light leather armor and holding two-meter long guns.

Traveling merchants followed the baggage carts into the city, and farmers carrying sacks or coarse cloth could be seen everywhere.

There are also quite a few unrestrained adventurers gathered in small groups by the bulletin board at the gate of the city, watching the latest news from inside and outside the city and entrusted missions with high rewards.

Chen Xuan even saw a big adventurer with a height of more than two meters.

Sitting on this guy's shoulder was a dwarf spellcaster holding a magic orb, concentrating on bargaining in front of a merchant's stall.

Beside him was a pure priest wearing a white and blue striped robe and a monk's hat, calmly and indifferently watching the sky against the double sun.

On the road, those sexy and plump huntresses and female warriors are also very common.

In addition, all kinds of alien races with strange shapes and appearances all looked decent and wore clothes and armors of different styles.

The vulgar shouting and talking were intertwined, making it as noisy as walking into a market.

Under Chen Xuan's gesture, Rebecca walked into the city holding his arm.

Maybe it was the first time seeing Dongfang's face, the guard gave him a few extra glances.

But it was limited to this, and he didn't meddle in his own business to stop him.

Entering the city, the air is still filled with a faint smell of excrement and sweat, and occasionally there is a complex smell of feet and bad breath. The overall feeling is only a little better than that in the village.

Underfoot is a hard road paved with gravel, covered with a layer of silt-like dirt, and the ditches on both sides are bubbling with stinky water.

Chen Xuan said that this is really medieval!

　Tips from the front row: Some readers read fantasy novels, and they always have to bluntly compare them to the ancient Middle Ages.

　　Regardless of geographical differences, social background differences, or various factors.

　　To be honest, unless it is a historical text, I don't think it is necessary to argue.

　　The setting of fantasy novels has been perfected over the years.

　　The light novels of Little Days are all playing well.

　　Foreign classics also include The Demon Hunter, The Lord of the Rings and so on.

　　If you want to benchmark against the Middle Ages, you can go to the History Channel to find Western historical novels.

　　Among other things, the Demon Hunter series has many settings that do not match the background of Europe, but there are wizards, dragons, and fairies in the world!

　　It's impossible to be exactly the same as Blue Star!

　　Anyone who has studied history in high school knows about the transformation of Western society and the development of capitalism.

　　It is nothing more than violent accumulation of capital and the rise of middle-class handicraftsmen.

　　Not to mention religion, ignorant nobility and royal power in the middle ages.
