Both girls' shawls have two silver tassels on the neckline, and on the back is the shield-shaped maze pattern of the Xijia District branch. , as for the apprentice’s upper arm, there should be the coat of arms of his or her tutor to prove his or her ownership. Of course, if the teacher does not have a personal crest, it is normal for it to go blank.
Halumi and Kaya's upper arms were empty. But it's not that Lin didn't design a coat of arms for himself, it's just that the girls thought it was too ugly, so they refused to use it.
It is not mandatory for apprentices to declare their mastership. The reason for showing it out is to prove who his backer is, but he refuses to show it. Sometimes the teacher has too many enemies, so in order to avoid trouble, he hides this relationship.
As for someone's disliked personal mark, it is a three-headed monkey image in a bit pixelated style. In fact, the name he used in Mysteryland and the image of the three-headed monkey originated from a computer game in the early days of Earth.
I used this name because when I first met the magician who was kind to me, the magician introduced himself: "Good day, I am Charlie Richard."
Someone's first thought at that time was that if you were Richard Richard, then I would be Guy Blasch. Then the name to be used in Midland was decided like this.
Although I didn’t have the chance to say that classic line, PR, after all, the professions are different. However, using three monkeys as his mark can be regarded as making up for his feelings.
Compared with Lin's small shawl with only one golden tassel, Fen's two golden tassels at the neckline are a bit dazzling. Generally speaking, the identity of a great magician may not be recognized across regions. To be recognized as a great magician, one must have corresponding achievements. In addition to the great achievements you have made that can be spread to new areas, you can also do something that is recognized in a new place.
Therefore, before being recognized by the new district, most great magicians will untie a golden thread after crossing the district to show respect.
However, some magicians with a more flamboyant personality will also appear in areas that they have never visited or have not been recognized by wearing two golden threads. In addition to showing that he has the confidence to become the great magician in the area, he is also somewhat provocative.
Fen still tied the two golden tassels and did not take off one of them. Lin estimated that the former Demon King didn't even know that Mi Di had such a habit. In other words, even if I know, I don't care.
However, Lin knew this and had no intention of reminding him. On the one hand, he hopes that Fen's status as a great magician can shock the audience. Furthermore, as a lich and the demon king who created the dark age, Fen should have no problem pretending to be a magician, not to mention a great magician. ,
It's just that she is not famous enough now, but when it comes to Demon King Tikal, she is mostly infamous. To be recognized as a Dharma Saint, the spread of reputation is also a very important indicator. So, taking the next best thing, Lin believed that it was natural for a lich to obtain the status of a great magician. He did not stop Fen from wearing two golden threads and appearing in front of everyone in Shanling City.
Compared with the city managed by the nobles, the city managed by the magicians is less strict in terms of security. Therefore, the passing speed is quite fast. Basically, the soldiers guarding the gate take a look at those who want to enter, and collect the tax per head. If there is goods, the tax is collected per car. Of course, regardless of whether the owner intends to sell the goods here, or like Lin and others, it is all the wealth that was taken away.
The two girls who were riding horses dismounted, as was the rule when entering the city gate. Those who drive don't need to get out of the car, as long as someone is responsible for taking care of the soldiers. Halumi took the initiative and dealt with the soldiers familiarly.
Most of the soldiers guarding the city gate are ordinary warriors, even though this is a magician's city. If a magician is also guarding the city gate, it usually means that something big is about to happen, or has already happened.
A group of ordinary warriors are unlikely to embarrass people above the level of magic apprentices. Especially when the soldiers on routine patrol saw a beautiful woman sitting lazily on the back of a carriage with two golden threads tied on her chest, a group of soldiers lined up to welcome the group into the city after collecting the city entry tax. Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
As for the cost of entering the city, it varies from city to city, but there will always be a sign posted at the border gate stating the price per person and the price per car. Because there were once stingy magicians or warriors with strong martial arts who claimed that the customs defense soldiers were willing to pay high prices and did not want to be cheated, so they bullied their way through the customs. In order to avoid such disputes and adopt such a compromise, after all, it is impossible to let the great magician guard the gate.
However, when paying the tax, Halumi still grabbed an extra handful of Danba copper coins, handed them to the soldiers guarding the gate, and asked: "Do you have any recommendations for comfortable hotels?"
Newcomers can ask for some unclassified geographical locations in Shanling City, which can be considered as extra money. Therefore, the tax collection soldier was not pretentious. After taking a few coins, he passed the rest to his companions and responded with a smile: "Go along the road entering the city gate. Take the second intersection on the right. Turn, Dove Song will warmly entertain all friends from out of town."
"Thank you." After a polite salute, Halumi took the horse and led the way into the city gate.
Shanling City was the first city that Lin and others entered after crossing the Doomsday Mountains, and it was also the most lively one. But for a group of people who were used to seeing the bustling scene in Wulian City, they always felt that the bustling scene in Shanling City was a bit lacking.
Pedestrians on the road can easily identify themselves. Those walking proudly in the middle of the road must be the magician and a small number of magic apprentices. As for the average people living in Shanling City, as well as most magic apprentices, they walked timidly on both sides of the road.
This class difference is just like the Wulian City where Lin Gang lived when he came to Mi Di. In the country of magicians, if you don't have a formal status, you are like a second-class person. As for those apprentices who dare to compete with formal magicians, most of them have strong backing and quite high talents.
There's nothing wrong with that. In a world that values personal power, the scene in Shanling City is the norm in the Lost World. The abnormality in Wulian City is due to the booming business, which forces the magicians to rely on ordinary people who are far more numerous than magicians for many things. This allows the two classes of people to become slightly closer to each other. .
Of course, there is another situation where apprentices dare to walk in the middle of the road, just like Halumi and Kaya are now serving the magician. Halumi led a horse in each hand, while Kaya led a horse and a mule, just behind the carriage. Lin, on the other hand, drove the car slowly towards the place where the girl asked.
Along the way, Lin and the others attracted everyone's attention. This is not surprising. On the one hand, a magician from outside the Basque Country was hauling a truckload of belongings, which was not a common sight. On the other hand, there is Fen's stunning beauty, her identity as a great local magician, and the objects around her that emit colorful magical auras. Everything stimulates people's original greed.
The reason why no one took action rashly was because the two golden threads on the great chest still played a big role.
It is true that great magicians recognized by other regions do not have the same treatment and recognition locally. However, the purpose of establishing this rule is just to prevent people who are not familiar with the magician from being misled by parallel imports recognized by other regions and misjudging his strength.
If you want to perform some difficult tasks, a little misjudgment may cause huge losses.
But this definitely does not mean that those who are not recognized as great magicians by the local people are easy targets for anyone to bully. If someone insists on becoming a local to recognize his achievements as a great magician, no one will have much objection. The local concept that outsiders are not allowed to bully the locals, so the locals must unite, does not exist in the world of the Lost Magician.
So even if they noticed this group of newcomers from out of town, they were excited by the wealth they revealed. However, the local gangsters in Shanling City just mobilized their own forces to find out the details of this group of people. And on top of this unknown undercurrent, Lin and his party successfully found the hotel Pigeon Song introduced by the gatekeeper.
The soldier guarding the gate was indeed used to seeing all kinds of people. He knew exactly what the questioner wanted and gave the most appropriate answer. Dove's Song is an inn provided to caravans, not ordinary adventurers. The main difference is that the former requires a warehouse for parking vehicles, while the latter only needs a place to rest and eat.
The Dove's Song is an inn run by a half-elf couple. Most of the people helping inside are half-elves. And judging from their characteristics, the other half of their bloodline is not necessarily from humans. So it has nothing to do with the traditional impression of elves, such as being handsome.
This is also an aspect of the Lost World that Lin doesn't understand. According to the biological knowledge of the earth, there will be reproductive isolation between different races, that is, they cannot reproduce each other. Or maybe the hybrids that are occasionally born will lose the ability to reproduce. Such man-made hybrid creatures as mules and ligers.
But there seems to be no such restriction among the Homo sapiens species in the Lost Lands. Humans and elves, humans and orcs, orcs, dwarves and goblins, goblins and elves, no matter how they mate, they can all produce offspring and even maintain the ability to reproduce.
But this does not mean that the race in the Lost Land will cause chaos in appearance due to such random breeding. There are rules for the apparent racial characteristics of offspring born from different races. Goblins and orcs have the strongest genes. No matter what race the mother is, the offspring will still look like goblins or orcs.
Genes of Orcs and Humans Secondly, as long as the other half is not a goblin or half-orc, the offspring can retain at least a small part of their racial characteristics and look like orcs or humans. The genes of elves and dwarves are the weakest. As long as they are mixed for more than two generations, the characteristics of their races can hardly be seen.
If mixed-race and mixed-race are combined, at most the characteristics of both races will be retained, depending on which one is stronger. The weak one will become a recessive gene, and some descendants may be atavistic in the future.
The powerful gene that surpasses all races is the dragon race. Not only Homo sapiens, but also any living creature can produce offspring with dragons and retain some of the characteristics of dragons. This is something that humans, elves, even goblins and orcs cannot do.
At least the centaurs were not born from humans fucking horses, and the orcs were not born from Homo sapiens fucking animals, or being fucked by animals. The winged horse is not a horse but a bird, and the gryphon is not a lion but an eagle11
