"A plan that kills two birds with one stone? It's interesting, tell me." Carlos stared at Zarok in human form, trying to get some hints of the future from him.
"I spent a lot of effort to bring the dwarf here from the south of the world. He is on his way to Nangao, and he carries a rare treasure.
. "
"Aha! I see it! I see those damn walls burning!"
As the Fate Twister expounds, the mists of the future are revealed. Kalos's excited screams spread throughout the Tzeentch Demon Realm, and a large number of his Tzeentch demons began to gather.
“Wangxiangguan~It’s a long way to go~I’ll buy wine in a deserted village to soothe my sorrow~”
Of course Snorri didn't know everything that happened in the Demon Realm of Tzeentch. He led the team on the official road leading to Nan Gao. Considering that it is already winter, the further north you go, the more desolate you feel.
The economic center of the Weibei provinces will obviously not be planned at the foot of Changyuan. The capital Nangao is also mainly a military and industrial town, so naturally it will not be as prosperous as Fuzhou.
The alert level in the towns and villages along the way is also very high, and there are few entertainment options. Changyuan can block the large army of northern invaders, but there will always be small groups of fish that slip through the net and infiltrate. And the closer they are to the Chaos Wasteland, the more vulnerable the people of Cathay are to erosion.
"What a great city!"
The sun was setting in the west, and Snorri marveled as he looked to the far end of the horizon. As the western end of Changyuan, Nangao is located at the foot of the Sorrow Mountains. Based on the terrain, nine lines of defense called the "Nangao Nine Walls" were built. With their help, Nangao has never fallen since its completion.
"Brothers! Hurry up, this is the administrative center of Weibei Province, and good wine and food are indispensable!"
"Report! Isn't it the Dwarf King Snorri who's here?"
"good!"
"I am the guard general of Inner Wall, and I am here to greet you on Zongji's orders!"
"Ah ha? This place is still several miles away from Nangao City. Is His Highness Biaolong so polite?"
The dwarf king sat on the back of the sheep and raised his eyebrows. It was a good thing for someone to greet him, but the person who came was obviously not of a high level, and he didn't know what it meant.
"It's Niangen right now. We are doing business with people outside the customs. But for safety's sake, don't go out of town. You need to check when entering and leaving the city. I sent you here just to let you know."
The general spoke with a strong northwest accent. Fortunately, this was not a difficulty for Snorri.
"Mutual trading? It seems that the world outside Changyuan is not entirely chaotic. This method is indeed effective in alleviating conflicts."
The time traveler muttered to himself, mutual trade is trade with other countries and races. Compared with free trade, it is characterized by fixed time and official supervision.
"Who are these people coming to participate in the mutual market? Barbarians?"
"Barbarians are like a general term. They have to be divided into several groups. Besides humans, the hobgoblins on the grassland will also do business with us."
"Hobgoblins, what can they sell? Wargs?"
As a king who is willing to trade, Snorri also knows a thing or two about these guys. They are a variant of those small things in the old world that cannot kill or burn. They are bigger and stronger, but slightly less cunning. Perhaps it is Brother Gaomao's attempt to find a balance between goblins and orcs.
Together with the ogres of the Mourn Mountains, they are a powerful threat to the Tusk Road. Before the sea route was opened, reaching Cathay had to go through the Mourn Mountains or through the grasslands controlled by the Great Goblin Khanate. Compared to the flat grassland, there are places to hide and take detours in the mountains, so the probability of passing through is higher.
"All kinds of livestock, and some unique resources on the grassland. Those khans need better guys and things that provide fun!"
The general rode alongside Snorri on his war horse, and while they were talking, the gate of Nangao City was already in sight.
"Country party members, give way! Zong Jidi ordered to join the queue for our dwarf friends!"
In front of the city gate, many merchants and their carriages and horses gathered and lined up waiting to enter the city. Pian Jiang held up the scroll in his hand and cleared a path.
"Go through this magic mirror for a while, it's a routine matter, don't take it personally!"
"Zhao Mo Jian? What is this?"
Looking at a two-person-high mirror placed at the entrance to the city gate, Snorri frowned in confusion.
"The method of making this thing was proposed by an alchemist a few years ago. It can illuminate the evil energy attached to people or objects!"
"Demon energy is what Chaos Corruption calls Cathay. It is said to be a photo, but in fact it is just mixed with some materials that are sensitive to it."
Snorri thought for a while and figured out that there were many in the old world that had the same effect. The God of Order could produce some, and his own Doomsday Anvil also had the same effect.
"Brother, is this thing's judgment reliable?"
Because the system can display the various levels of corrosion in a location, Snorri has become accustomed to clicking on a new place to determine how vigilant he needs to be for the next action.
But when I opened Nangao City, I saw that the Chaos Corrosion Index was quite high, with Tzeentch Corruption being the main one. If the magic mirror placed in the city gate is really working, then it shouldn't be.
"It must be accurate! Since we had this thing, our city defense army has caught a lot of demons trying to sneak into the city, and also confiscated a lot of evil objects." General Pian said with a little pride. In his opinion, this It may be that Snorri has never seen the world.
The team of dwarves walked slowly past the magic mirror. Snorri was not in a hurry to enter the city, but walked around the mirror to examine it carefully, trying to discern some clues.
"who!"
He suddenly felt a sharp gaze behind him, but when he turned around, he could not find the source in the crowd.
"What's wrong with you?" Gotrek, as a personal guard, felt something strange about the lord.
"Tsk, let me tell you brothers, don't relax too much and keep an eye out." Seeing that the team had all passed, Snorri shook his head and said nothing.
"That dwarf, is he Stormhammer Snorri?"
Walking onto the main road of Nangao City, before I had time to look at the situation on both sides, a group of strangely dressed humans came from the opposite side, with the leader shouting loudly.
"That's right! Who is here and what do you want to teach me?"
"If you don't change your name when you're working, and if you don't change your surname when you sit down, it's my aunt Guarjia-Hai Lanzhu!"
Taking a closer look, he saw a female general coming. She was quite tall, and her tight belt accentuated her broad shoulders. With a strange hairpin on his head, half of his face exposed with wild tattoos, a scimitar on his waist and a long bow on his back, he headed straight for Snorri.
"Oh? It's actually this person!"
By name, Snorri knew it. This female general is the banner leader of the Manchu tribe. She is nicknamed Saibei Sirius. She is ranked fourth as a wild card on the Heavenly Ranking. She is extremely powerful.
