After showing the so-called pass to the guard, Duan Qing and Mengzhu were finally able to successfully pass the guard's suspicious sight and enter Tania City. Duan Qing, who had no time to appreciate the beauty of this city, first collected What came was a bombardment from a certain girl: "Why did it take so long? It's better to leave us alone and go on an adventure. Do you have any team spirit? Do you know how miserable we are in the capital?" ? There have been so many things going on in the past few days that our heads are about to explode..."
"Well, I think you seem to be doing well." Duan Qing covered his sore forehead from being bombarded by the other party, and pointed at Mengzhu's new look: "Does this dress look awesome?"
"Humph, I spent hundreds of dollars to collect this from Cabin Castle! If I hadn't had a good relationship with that boss, the real price of this piece of equipment would have been much higher... "
The girl began to show off the red and black leather armor equipment she was wearing, and at the same time proudly boasted about the capital she had earned in a certain store. But for Duan Qing, who had just seen what Laura was selling, a mere few hundred yuan was really insignificant. Even though the girl with wheat-colored skin and an explosive figure finally claimed to have given him a discount, In order to buy the chosen weapon from her, he threw away all the belongings he had on him at the time, and then made his way back to the city extremely difficult.
"Okay, okay, can you go back and talk about these things first? I'm a little hungry." So Duan Qing interrupted the girl's conversation and looked forward along the road: "Didn't you say before that we already have a base? ,Where?"
His words stopped.
From the outside, the city gate to the south of Tania seemed to be no different from the city gates Duan Qing had seen before. However, it was only after two people walked in from the outside that he saw the gates along this gate. The front, a straight avenue extending backward. This road, with jagged residential buildings on both sides, followed Duan Qing's gaze straight ahead, and presented the entire road to his field of vision without any hindrance. Under the early morning sunshine, he could even stand at the city gate and see through the heads of the people passing by on this road the outline of a majestic dome building at the end of the road with a slightly downward slope. .
"Then, then..." Duan Qing pointed to the tall shadow at the end of his field of vision, his whole body filled with a dazed feeling: "What is that thing?"
"hey-hey......"
The little girl's snickering reached his ears.
"I was scared when I first came here." Mengzhu said with a smile in his voice: "That place is the center of Tania City. It is said that it has an ancient name, but now, everyone calls it Parliament Hall.”
The little girl pointed her finger at that place: "You will know after you wander around for a long time. The entire city of Tania is centered around that place and spreads out in all directions. You will know if you have the opportunity to visit the parliament hall. , although it looks very ordinary, it is very consistent with the meaning of what that parliament represents..."
Looking at the distance where the straight road pointed, Duan Qing nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go, let's go, that guy Xiaoxiao Hongchen won't be able to find us again..."
In the bustling crowd, the little girl pulled Duan Qing towards a certain direction. After a while, she broke through the straight passage and turned into an alley on the other side. But not long after walking, the feeling in his heart told Duan Qing that the buildings around him seemed to be distributed around some kind of arc pattern. The appearance of the next road instantly confirmed Duan Qing's suspicion - the broad avenue was still going straight forward, leading to the outline of the dome in the distance.
"I see." Duan Qing gestured with his hands and asked, "Don't tell me that the structure of this city is a big... circle?"
"Yes." Mengzhu answered the question simply, and then pointed to the road and said: "This street is called Yaer Street. It was a street specially opened by the principality for activities of civilians and adventurers. It is also a street The busiest street in the city.”
A shout of excitement suddenly appeared in front of them. The two people turned their heads to look. The sound of swords clashing suddenly broke out from an alley that could not be seen in the field of vision. However, just a few seconds later, a different sound came out. The loud shout before came from that direction: "You guys!"
"No fighting is allowed in the city! Don't you know?"
"Ahaha, Brother Guard, we just..."
"Stop being so verbose! Hand over your proof of identity, or I'll send you to Lord Swain!"
The noise and pushing only lasted for a moment, and the eyes of the passing crowd returned to their respective concerns. Only Duan Qing and Mengzhu were still watching with interest the few people being pushed out of the alley. A person who looked like a player was pulled by a group of guards in the direction they came from before. It looked like he was about to be driven out of the city. When passing through the space left by the two of them, they could also hear admonitions such as "I warned you a long time ago" and "This is a special period", and from the skilled tone and movements of the heavily armed guards, Look, these things don’t seem to have been done once or twice.
"It seems that this place is really lively." Duan Qing said with emotion after the embarrassed players were pulled away.
"Uh... It's a special situation, a special situation." The little girl danced her hands: "Players usually don't dare to fight casually in this place. Unfortunately, this is the capital, and there are too many players staying here. So there are a lot of frictions in daily life..."
"And we have to count those old grievances, right?" Thinking of the rumors that two top-ranked guilds were causing trouble here, Duan Qing said with a smile: "Judging from the setting of this game, when freedom was It’s a miracle that Wings can actually be driven out.”
"Even though the equipment of those guards is very ordinary, their combat effectiveness is very strong." Mengzhu seemed to mention something amazing, and shook his ponytail excitedly: "Have you never seen an outbreak on Alta Street? In that big fight, when the final phalanx of guards was pushed out, it was simply devastating..."
"In other words, the strength of these guards indirectly ensures the safety of this area, right?" Duan Qing rubbed his chin and thought: "Well, it seems to be the same as the situation in Green Stone Village... ."
"Uncle, every safe zone in this game is like this." The little girl immediately pouted: "I always study these useless things... let's go!"
The scattered high and low buildings let the early morning sunlight leak through their gaps, and as Duan Qing and the two walked around, more and more sunlight appeared in the gaps. Finally, when they turned a few corners and came to another street that was roughly parallel to the previous one, the change in angle made the sun rising from the east appear completely in front of them. As if in response to this scene full of life, the crowd on the street gradually became larger, and most of them were players acting as porters.
"What are they going to do?"
"They are all players who have bases outside, and their bases are still under construction."
"...It's been a few days, and there are still so many guilds that have not been completed?"
"Do you think it is so easy to build a guild station?" Mengzhu put his hands on his hips, turned to face Duan Qing and said, "I have learned about the process required to build a guild station, and it is just like building it in reality. A house is no different, and there are several buildings... Although it is not as professional as real architecture, and the intermediate process has been systematically simplified, the necessary steps are still indispensable."
She pointed at the players who had just left and said, "Besides, building is easy to get addicted to. Those players seem to be building houses specifically for others. They even signed up with the Adventurers Association. brand, undertake various construction businesses, and then... charge based on price.”
Seemingly seeing the gold coins earned by others, she gritted her teeth in envy.
"After all, this is also a way of playing." Duan Qing shrugged: "But I don't want to play the game like this."
"I don't want to, but we have no chance for the time being." The little girl also shook her head and said: "I don't know where Uncle Richard came from in the Adventurers Association. In short, our guild has been officially established successfully, but because If there are too few staff, they will definitely not grant us a place to stay..."
"If we really want to build any station, I will not participate." Duan Qing immediately expressed his position: "I will say it first."
"Hey, how could you do this? You are the main force of our guild."
"I take it as a compliment, but it's also the main force, not the coolies... You can recruit a few more people according to Xiao Hongchen's temper..."
"It would be better if you didn't mention it. There has been no progress at all in recruiting people in the past two days! When people heard the name of our guild, they left without saying a word. It's all your fault for insisting on such a bad name in the first place. ..."
"I'm bad at naming. I've declared that beforehand, and you all passed it at the time. The names you chose before were even worse, okay..."
The two of them walked forward arguing with each other, with some little girls introducing the central city of the Principality: "This is Avenue Beya, the commercial street here, but it is different from the commercial street in the impression. The commercial street here is really for business. There are no such things as eating, drinking, entertainment and shopping markets here... For example, that one is a store that specializes in loan business... ....”
"Given the current situation in the principality, there are still people who dare to handle such things here..."
"You care so much about him, maybe he just has confidence in the principality! And that one, that one sells all kinds of magic materials, it is said that the things inside are very expensive... that one handles transportation As for business, that one handles magic communication functions, and that one sells construction materials. Since many players are buying them, they are wholesale now and there are discounts."
Every time words like discounts are mentioned, the girl's eyes will exude an inexplicable light, even if the matter has nothing to do with her. So Duan Qing had no choice but to shake her head and interrupted her thoughts: "By the way, why did you come to pick me up so early? In the previous message, didn't I say that you might arrive today?"
"...I was caring about the group members." Mengzhu's face turned red inexplicably, and then he changed his tone of loneliness: "I went to take care of my brother this morning, and I came back early. some......"
"You have a younger brother? What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"
"No, no." The girl immediately waved her hand and revealed this paragraph: "It's just taking care of it. Let's go back quickly... Look over there, that street is Tania's handiwork. Street."
"What the hell is Handmade Street..."
"Ah, that's the name of our players." Mengzhu said with some embarrassment: "The name of this street is...hey, what is it called...ah, that's right!"
She clapped her hands together: "It's called Yarraford Street...it's such a hard name to remember."
Just like the streets Duan Qing had seen before, every part of this street was still full of all kinds of lively people. But what is different from the people before is that most of the people here are standing in front of various shops, seemingly choosing something. Long queues have already formed in front of some of the shops. Although the queues in front of other shops are not as exaggerated, the sounds of sales discussions and bargaining arguments can be heard vaguely.
"What is this street for?"
"Handmade Street, Handmade Street." Mengzhu clapped his hands and said, "This is a place truly worth studying, a paradise for high-level players, because..."
"Many high-level hand-made products are achieved here."
"Handmade?" Duan Qing's eyes lit up: "Does it mean... players can build their own equipment?"
"It's not that exaggerated, but I guarantee that the situation you mentioned will not happen in the future." Mengzhu continued thoughtfully: "There are many players here now because there are many enhanced weapons and equipment here. Business, and in addition to weapons and equipment, things that can enhance the player's strength, such as alchemical potions and magic products..."
"It sounds very good, especially since there is a competition soon..." Duan Qing looked at the street where people were constantly coming in and out of various shops, pinched his chin and asked: "What other crafts are there?" ?”
"Well, I remember there were also magic enchantments, rune inscriptions, and gem inlays..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party: "Come one by one, I have never heard of these..."
Gu——
Just when Mengzhu frowned and wanted to explain everything clearly to Duan Qing one by one, the stomach of someone who had not eaten until now began to growl unsatisfactorily.
"Well......"
"Hahahaha!" Mengzhu's unabashed laughter was like the clear call of an oriole as her golden ponytail trembled: "I see..."
"Let's find a place to eat first."
