Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

The journey was unusually calm.

In this calm, the sky gradually darkened and the autumn wind gradually rose.

The escort team arrived at their first stop, a transit town, before nightfall.

After checking the documents, the city defense army let them in.

It was a fairly prosperous classical town, with wine shops, teahouses, hotels, and various shops. There was even a small river running through the town. It could be said that it was small but complete.

From the city gate, the long street running through the front and back of the town was not crowded, but it also had a bit of a busy atmosphere.

Most of them were dressed simply, there were a few beggars on the roadside, and there were also a few officials and merchants dressed gorgeously, and groups of young men and women talked and laughed on the bluestone road.

When the common people saw our grey-armoured rangers, they kept a distance from them, but those in gorgeous clothes regarded us as the topic of conversation, and walked and laughed as they passed by the rangers.

"Alas, the emperor has not been very busy recently. Even transporting goods requires so many rangers... This is at least one person."

A young master in green shirt saw our rangers stationed at the city gate and talked to several friends beside him.

"Isn't it true? I heard that there was another earth dragon turning over a few miles away from here. The death was so tragic. I heard that only one out of ten thousand households survived."

Another noble in green shirt responded, laughing from time to time.

"Isn't this earth vein tower said to be able to adjust the weather and stop the disaster? Ha, I am a joke that those star vein magicians are trying to trick us. My father said that we should just demolish these towers. This year's earth vein tax is 10% higher than last year. I don't know if those star vein magicians are just eating for free."

Hearing them talking about earthquakes and earth vein towers, a noble immediately showed a gloomy expression and changed the topic.

"What's the point of talking about these things? Why don't you think about which building to play tonight?"

It's none of your business, so just ignore it.

The people are not rich, but the nobles are still happy.

The voices of this small group of nobles gradually weakened and moved away. They looked not afraid of the gray armor rangers, but their steps were also a little faster. Walking past these rangers can make them feel more courageous.

Ji Lin retracted his attention and learned two new words from these people, astrologers and earth vein towers.

Ji Lin's eyes fell on the center of the town, where there was a high prism tower. Countless streams of light flowed along the prism. The tower was 10 stories high, and each floor extended outward with wooden brown eaves. The vigorous energy overflowing from the tower could almost be observed by the naked eye, and the pure light mist that ordinary people could not see surrounded and lingered.

It was really amazing power.

This tower was undoubtedly the true core of the town.

Recalling what the noble who just passed by him said, the earth vein tower should be the building in front of him that seemed out of place in the building. The tallest building that could be seen was only half its height.

Due to his status, Ji Lin naturally couldn't get off his horse to catch a passerby and ask in detail what the earth vein tower they mentioned was for. From their tone, it seemed that the tower had been here for a long time and everyone was used to it.

No one noticed that they focused too much attention on the earth vein tower in the town.

"Sir... this carriage..."

The county magistrate who greeted them looked at the group of rangers and tried his best to control his body to stand up in front of the group of soldiers.

The county magistrate looked at the heavy four-wheeled carriage that could pull a deep gully on the road, fearing that the road he had just renovated would also suffer the same fate. This road surface had received a lot of kickbacks, so how could he know if he would encounter a marching team passing through here after it was just repaired.

Others may not know, but I know it very well. For kickbacks, these stone bricks are all cheaper and inferior.

They definitely cannot withstand the carriages going back and forth on the bluestone road.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Lin threw the question back to the county magistrate, controlling his tone to be gentle.

But the county magistrate looked at the shining chain mail on the county magistrate, and his heart was weak. Obviously, he did not understand Ji Lin's good intentions and was still trembling.

"No, no problem."

The county magistrate swallowed back what he wanted to say. Letting them pass through the city road would at most damage the road surface, but it would hinder the military order and might even cost his life.

Before the county magistrate could finish his next sentence, the leader of the city defense army who was waiting nearby hurried to Ji Lin and saluted him with his fists, causing Ji Lin to look at the leader.

"Captain, can we report the supplies on this car?"

"It is clearly stipulated that all supplies entering the city must be reported, such as gunpowder, weapons, etc., which cannot enter the city."

Ji Lin put on a poker face and evaded the question by saying it was a military secret. Even he himself did not know what was carried in these cars.

"Military secrets."

It was obviously impossible not to pass through this town. As the leader, the detailed marching route map was naturally handed to him. The surveyed map marked all the checkpoints and gorges along the way. According to the map, it would take a long detour instead of going directly through the town.

"Just give me a route map. I won't go through the town."

Ji Lin didn't make things difficult for the city defense leader. Besides, the main roads in the town were full of people of all kinds. It was not convenient for them to go through like this. It was late now. These rangers needed to rest after all the hard work and set off tomorrow.

What they needed was time.

When the county magistrate heard that they could not go along the main road, he immediately beamed and came to receive them. He talked and laughed and boasted about how good and developed his town was.

Even the inn and expenses have been arranged for these travelers. The food and drink expenses for these many people are not a small amount. People need to drink and eat, horses need to drink water and eat grass. These strong men do not have many bowls of good wine. You can't do it with a few pieces of good meat.

But compared with rebuilding the road surface, it seems so cheap.

Ji Lin sighed softly.

Wearing these clothes is not at all convenient for him to understand the situation here.

As a leader, you can't even ask others about things that seem like common sense in this world.

The system will not give them a direction to change, it will just throw them into this world - it will not even give them any basic memory here.

Ji Lin smacked his lips.

When they arrived at the inn arranged by the county magistrate for them, Ji Lin's pupils shrank.

놛I finally know why this copy was rated as X-level.

A machine made entirely of wooden materials, the machine man walked out of the wine shop and followed the waiter to bring the horses led by them into the stables.

The wooden block on the mechanism man's body is a bit old, and the thick and long wooden fingers have a lot of wear and tear from work. It has obviously been working here for a long time.

There are no gears, no banging steam engine, it seems to be a few pieces of wood and a ball made of unknown materials. The complex lines and mechanisms are linked together, exuding an atmosphere that is different from the operation of ordinary runes. The brilliance of 땢 is like achieving a perfect cycle of self and energy flow.

Then it can move and is more flexible than the steam robots I have ever seen.

Not as good as humans, but not far off.

Lightweight and responsive.

This kind of scene, which is almost impossible in modern physics, seems to be commonplace for the rangers behind them, and they treat the machine people as normal. Like the Leyline Tower, this is a part of their lives.

The dismounted rangers breathed a sigh of relief and secretly looked at their new leader. Ji Lin smiled at them and indicated that it was okay.

The rangers walked into the inn talking and laughing.

But Ji Lin was still looking at the wooden man working under the command of the waiter.

Mechanism.

Such wooden robots, equipped with various variations of photographic technology, are spread throughout this town and this world, building this world's civilization.
