Xiling Empire

"Boss Boss! Boss, you look good on this, don't look good! This is the one I bought for you!"

"Boss, try this! I heard that the whole continent sells this snack in this city. It is said to be made from pure fruit!"

"Boss, let's go and watch the fireworks! There is a town nearby that displays fireworks every twenty days. I heard that the alchemists gathered in the town made it out of the by-products of alchemy, but it looks good, I haven't seen it yet. Shall we go to watch the fireworks tonight?

"Boss Boss, don't poke my ears? I won't grow taller again ..."

Along the way, the voice of such a shy little girl has not ceased for a minute and a half, and the shivering movement is really not small, and even the pedestrians along the way frequently look at them. What they see is a ten-year-old The loli that she was following followed a man step by step, trying to show her sense of presence constantly. If she ignored her strange title, this could basically be regarded as being taken out by an adult to go shopping, and then watch When I got to something I liked, I was so entangled in my little daughter-but whoever wants to be the same as Liliana, I can only bless his eight generations of ancestors. This girl is really hard to suppress.

"I said, how did she get excited these past two days?" After hitting back with a knife with Lina trying to jump on herself, I looked at my sister with a big head, and the girl around me was always on the way. I was so excited that I kept showing all kinds of strange things to me. Of course, Lirina used to be so nervous in the past, but today her symptoms seem more severe than before. The elder sister gave Lilina a smile and explained softly, "You didn't know her personality, but suddenly you became nervous. And I haven't seen you for so many days, probably I miss you."

"I think she is just playing crazy in this world and can't cool down," I poked. Then she sighed softly, bent over and held Liliana on one shoulder, at least this would make her quieter, and of course, there was a mercury lamp on the other shoulder, and the little puppet saw his rival was put on the opposite side. I immediately pressed it with my finger in the center of my head and warned loudly, "Look, here. The demarcation here is my territory. You are not allowed to cross the line!"

Me: "..." What did this pit father treat me!

Lilina's purpose of showing existence has been achieved. I ’m so proud of it. Rarely I did n’t fight with mercury lamps, but shook my feet: "Boss, is this world interesting? Everywhere is mysterious."

I pouted: "It's quite fun, but we spent two days on a deserted prairie, and you say where it can be fun, it's you. It looks like it's fun to play in this world."

I squinted at Li Lina, the girl was obviously wearing new clothes in this world. It looks gorgeous and complicated. It was a blue-purple dress with white embellishments, which felt a little like a princess's dress. But there were two golden wide edges hanging straight down the chest. The flat air added a majestic and unpredictable power to a dress, and there were many feather-like ornaments on the skirt of the dress, light and transparent. , Very beautiful. However, Lilin's upstart behavior has damaged the princess dress that should have been linked to "noble, gorgeous, powerful":

At least a dozen strings of various commemorative ornaments hung around her neck. That crude technique and pungent aroma don't need to know that they are cheaply bought from the street, which are essentially things for flickering tourists from other places; There are a total of seven or eight bracelets around my hand. I even suspect that this girl now says that her passers-by are not inconsistent; shaking her ankle is also rattling because she also made herself four pairs of anklets. What's even more amazing is that she also tied three belts of different colors, although she claims that two of them are characteristic folklore decorations of the city. In addition to that, we won't talk about the messy things such as small animal bone amulets, wooden swords, glitter beads, etc. that came out of her pocket. When Lina first appeared in front of me, it was a moving exhibition. Shelves are full of this kind of cheap stuff and at a glance it's a special product for the slaughterer of the scenic spot: she doesn't even put these things in the carry-on space, the mentality of the silly girl upstart is evident. Fortunately, Xiaobuo had to leave a lot of shiny gadgets from her, and now Liliana's shape is actually more normal than before.

The little crow and vanilla wore clothes similar to Liliana's, which may be made to order, but the two did not have a lot of messy things on themselves like Liliana's upstart, and the two looked the same. The little girl was walking on the street in a beautiful princess dress, and looked at the surrounding scenery with novelty. It attracted a lot of attention like twin angels. Behind them, there were Pandora and Veska, bubbles and small Bubble ...

There are more and more passersby on both sides. They may think that our twins are parading here. Fortunately, this is not on the earth, otherwise at least a dozen of them will come over and ask for a photo.

The elder sister was wearing the ordinary long skirt at the time of departure, and she didn't seem to be involved in the carnival of a few little girls.

"These things are all souvenirs!" Li Lina dragged a lot of pendants around her neck. These things set her off like an old chief in Central African countries. It ’s a white trip. Look at this. It ’s made of black sharp-horned sheep ’s beard. It can resist disease and three kinds of disasters related to the disease. You bring the blessing of the river god. If you can swim, you may not be drowned if you fall into the water ... "

Me: "... I always think something is wrong."

"Anyway, it's a happy statement. Everyone knows it is deceptive," Lirina waved with a jealous look, and then she picked a glittering spar pendant and put it on my neck. Picking it up greatly improves your sense of existence, because this is a women's pendant. "

I didn't hesitate to dump this stuff into the carry-on space.

"Ajun. When are we going to eat?" Sandora rubbed her stomach pitifully, "Hungry, I hurried over in a hurry before I got up early. I think it's delicious in all directions Look like ... "

I hurriedly shook Liliana on my shoulder in shock: "Find a place to eat now! Before the city is destroyed!"

"Hi, I know a good place!" Lilina immediately lifted her arms up and stretched her fingers forward. "Go straight ahead is the central sculpture of the city. A quarter of that square is a place to eat. I guess The only one who can feed Sandra is that. "

As soon as Sandora said nothing, she lifted her legs and walked away: "Walk around. Eat first and eat first! Haven't eaten serious food for two days!"

Soon we found the central square that Lirina said. That place was really easy to find. The plain area where the city is located is roughly circular, divided in half from the middle, and half of it is an open area. When a miracle When the sun arrives, it will be used as a projection point where some of the lost world meets the mother continent, and the other half is the "port" city "Sentu". That is where we are now. The word "Sentu" means "port" or "channel" in the local script. The central square is located in the very center of this semicircular city. From the port square to the central square, there are three wide and smooth flagstone roads leading directly. You can find it by going straight along the road.

The semi-circular city is reminiscent of the moon, and the shape of the central square is simply designed as a crescent, which matches the contour of the city itself. In the middle of this long and narrow "Crescent Square", we see that this city is the most famous Sculpture: Explorer.

This is a statue of a character. It is about ten meters tall and is made of thick black stones. It is an image of a strong man climbing a mountain cliff. The man on the sculpture is wearing a tight leather coat. An animal skin apron was worn around the waist, and there were several tools on the back that could not be used but might not be used for fighting. Is struggling to climb a huge rock, his muscles are angry, his forehead is blue. However, it is puzzling that the protagonist on the sculpture has no face: it is not weathered, but the sculpture itself does not depict the face.

"This is a symbol of this city. Port Sentu is considered to be one of the oldest cities on this continent, even dating back to the obscurity period," Li Lina acted as our guide, talking openly under the sculpture, " In the beginning, there were often projections of unknown areas from all over the continent. At that time, people were full of puzzles and fears. They regarded these images as flood beasts, and they were afraid of them. This situation is because there are many brave people who want to find out what happened to these sudden areas at first, but the projection of these sudden areas may disappear at any time, and I do n’t know when it will appear again next time. In the absence of a summary of the common "periodic calendar", 90% of people will never return after entering the mysterious world, and the remaining ones are scarred and crazy. These people talk about their being Entered into a forgotten world, where there are huge ruins and ancient guardians that are still functioning, the guardians will kill everyone who breaks into the ruins So over time, people are no longer afraid to meddle in these areas appear inexplicable, and it is called The Lost World. "

Having said that, Lelina paused for a moment, and I immediately made a coordinated look that you do n’t care about, so Lelina continued with a grudge: “Later, a brave guy carried a lot of messy luggage Come here with half a month's rations. At that time, there was no Sentu Port, and there were no people. At the time of the obscurity when the traffic was completely closed, he was the first person to find this wasteland. He passed here. Entered into one of the few absolutely safe lost worlds: the ancient garden. As a matter of course, he came back alive, except that he almost suffered from severe gastrointestinal diseases because he ate half a month of grass, and everything was fine. From that day Since then, people have finally realized that these lost worlds are not necessarily dead, and that brave guy brought back from the ancient garden a large number of plants that have never been seen on this continent, and many of them have been proven to have alchemy value. At that time, this The world's alchemy technology is still in its infancy, and people are brave enough to use all kinds of strange and weird raw materials. However, the existing alchemy materials on the mainland are limited after all. Only the various herbs that can be collected in the ancient garden immediately made the lucky man make a fortune, and then more and more explorers poured into the ancient garden. Here, the prototype of the port of Sentu was formed. Then, the ancient garden has been Unable to satisfy people, so more people tried to form well-equipped teams to challenge other lost worlds. In short, many things happened, and many courageous explorers were sacrificed. Eventually, the periodic calendar appeared.

The periodic calendar is one of the two most important calendars in the world. Originally only the scattered experiences summarized by some expeditions themselves, they were later summed up by a respected old explorer and compiled into a complete calendar, which basically covered the emergence rules and basic conditions of 80% of the lost world. . It can be said that the current world structure: people are associated with the lost world, collect resources and knowledge from the lost world, and various strange and strange religious legends related to fragments of other worlds. And so on and so on and so on, were originally pioneered by explorers. So as the oldest connection port in the lost world. Sentu's city logo is the image of a struggling explorer. This sculpture has no face, which means the explorer as a whole, rather than a specific individual. "

"It's a pity that time has passed and many things have changed." Speaking of which, Liliana sighed. "Explorers enjoyed a high status hundreds of years ago, but the industry is loosely structured and mixed with dragons and snakes. From the beginning There is no stability. And as more and more lost worlds are thoroughly explored, even with resident camps. Traveling to those worlds no longer requires huge risks, and the value and status of explorers are getting lower and lower. You Think about it, under the **** of a professional army, an old farmer can casually dig herbs in the Lost World. How many people still pay attention to the explorer? Until now, the word 'explorer' has almost become the one who has no skills or The method of earning a living is only synonymous with courageous people. They rely on searching for treasures in dangerous areas that have not been completely controlled by human beings. Many lost worlds have left the remains of several civilizations. The things in the remains are scholars and Needed by the alchemist. In addition, the ancient gardens, which were originally used as a source of important herbs, have become less popular because of the plant species that came out of them All have been successfully cultivated on the mother mainland. People no longer have to spend time and cycles to collect herbs in the lost world. This is one of the reasons why explorers gradually lose their status: Many materials produced in the lost world have become worthless. Now The ancient garden is just a nice transfer station. People start from Sentu, stay in the ancient garden for a short period of time, and then transfer to other lost worlds. Explorers will go to dangerous places such as ancient cities. Travelers and merchants usually stop next. It ’s a floating river or a tower of sky. Well, this world is huge, and it ’s too much to say in a day. This planet, which is one circle larger than the earth, is just a small part of what you can see. The fragmented and lost worlds add up. I suspect that it may be more than ten times the size of the mother planet, and God knows how it was formed. "

I did n’t expect that Lina knew so much about this world. You know, two days ago, she did n’t know that there was such a thing as “lost world”, and she could inquire about so much in two days. Things are really incredible action. The elder sister saw my surprise and whispered with a smile: "She has been learning about the customs of this world for the past two days, so that I can show you all day today." I froze and smiled slightly: also It's really this girl's style.

"Ajun, let's eat there?" Sandora didn't care about the customs of this world. These little things couldn't get into the eyes of Her Majesty's Majesty. She just thought it was time to eat now, so she shook it hard. Shake my arm ~ www.readwn.com ~ pointing to a bunch of food vendors selling food on the edge of the square. "It looks delicious."

Liliana shook her head: "It sells vegetable porridge and gray cakes. The people here stew a variety of vegetables with a kind of bean-like staple food, and then use that kind of beans to make flour pancakes. Common food, it ’s delicious. Let ’s go, I treat you, I ’m rich now, Boss, I ’ll tell you about our business here, Little Bird is now half a protector ... ... "

Although she is also interested in Li Lina's story, it is important to feed Sandora first. Soon we came to a place that looked quite big. Our group, regardless of the relatives of the emperor or the true gods of heaven, were soaked from the small commodity market and the roadside stalls. They didn't care about the scene at all. A mighty group of people occupied half of the entire stall at that time. At this time, it seemed that it was almost past dinner. There were not many people eating here. The appearance of a large group of customers immediately made the stall owner smile. This is a hair and A chubby middle-aged man with a very thick beard, Lilian whispered to me that he should be a hybrid of humans and dwarves.

"Bring all the rest of your food up, let's wrap it," I said to Sandora, so I said to the stall owner, I saw the other side's surprised expression, and I added, "It's all right, we can't eat it. Go. "Then I told Sandora again:" So what, if you don't have enough food, just hold back a little bit. Let's go to the next one. Don't eat the stall. "
