Space-time Traveler Chapter 28: Freedom City 2 [Fourth More]
The land on the northern continent is relatively barren.
I didn't see any decent towns along the way. They were all backward villages.
Many of the humans who first came here were mercenaries, criminals, and adventurers, which led to the fact that the people here are quite strong, coupled with the prevalence of smuggling trade, so that the people here are related to the gray forces. Inextricably linked.
Slavery still exists in the northern continent, and slaves come from the human kingdom in the southern continent.
They are imprisoned in farms and mines to work hard, and occasionally they are sold to some inhuman creatures at high prices.
Since humans colonized the world and dominated the world, they defeated the elves and dwarves to expand their territory, and then expelled other alien species, and finally began to establish their respective kingdoms to kill each other. There are no elves, dwarves, and gnomes in the southern countries, and halflings are even rarer. Now the objects of persecution are slowly turning to the female warlocks and witch hunters within human beings.
It is said that the oldest book records that humans came here to colonize because their world was destroyed.
The capital of freedom.
When Su Ziyu came to this legendary city, his expression was still quite surprised.
Because he saw a rather grand and majestic city, the walls here are more majestic than Lund, and from a distance you can see many large buildings with spires, the style is quite elegant and gorgeous, with many pointed shapes. Arches, ribbed vaults and flying arches.
To be honest, he almost thought at first that he had come to a large Renaissance city.
This city is totally different from the style of the entire Northern Continent!
If a king in the southern countries saw such a building, perhaps he would not be too surprised, but to see such a prosperous city in the desolate and barren North Continent, Su Ziyu would be quite shocked. .
"This city was originally built by the elves who had withdrawn from the north." Ms. Enid's voice rang in her ears.
She has a sad expression on her face.
Because they could not resist the expansion of human beings, the elves, dwarves, and dwarves of the world’s native races were forced to evacuate. The elves also fought humans at first, but they were defeated and lost a lot of fresh blood. There is no race in this world that can resist the expansion of human beings, because the hate elves are willing to destroy their cities when they evacuated, and are not willing to leave it to the expanding human beings.
The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
The primitive aborigines of the North Continent have not been slaughtered as well.
"This is a bit different from what I thought." Su Ziyu smiled.
The group of people gradually approached the city gate.
Just walking to the gate of the city, Su Ziyu felt the clover talisman on his chest move slightly, and his eyes fell on a man dressed as a guard.
This man is not a vampire.
He doesn't have the cold scent of a vampire, and Su Ziyu doesn't know what he is, but the clover talisman clearly detected something.
"Don't act rashly." Van Tessin whispered.
He should know a lot about the City of Freedom, lowered his voice and said in Su Ziyu's ear: "We are not welcome here."
This city does not exclude outsiders.
But it doesn’t seem to be safe here. Prosperity and depravity coexist here. Su Ziyu saw many mercenaries and adventurers with sturdy faces, and some escorted a group of humans imprisoned in shackles. They might They are criminals, bankrupts and deserters, but now they are just a bunch of slaves waiting to be sold.
Suzi fish saw elves, dwarves and dwarfs here.
Different from the elves he imagined, the elves living here look more handsome, but others seem to be similar to humans. They are shrewd and fair bargaining with merchants. They have no legendary elegance at all, and even The elves bought some human slaves.
The dwarves are not as honest and honest as they might think, but they do care about their beards, and they look quite grumpy.
The most surprising thing is the dwarf.
Because Su Ziyu saw a steam hammer in a blacksmith run by a dwarf, the weapons and equipment forged here seem to be very popular.
Here is different from the southern countries. There are people who blatantly open alchemy shops on the streets, and there are many strange things in them. If this kind of shop is in the southern countries, it is estimated that it will have to be demolished by the Knights of the Church that day. In the past two or three years, even humans who study alchemy have been caught and judged by the church.
Of course.
The church actually masters a lot of alchemy, otherwise the alchemy fire oil they researched would not be more powerful than the demon hunter. They occasionally arrest the demon hunters, but as far as Van Tessine knows, many of the fanatics in the church have taken potions similar to the trials of the demon hunters.
"Let's go in." Ms. Enid whispered.
Su Ziyu didn't expect that Ms. Enid still has a chamber of commerce here, which seems to be run by elves.
The land and houses in the surrounding area are all owned by the Chamber of Commerce.
The elves respect Ms. Enid's attitude very much, and call her "sage" in a special language. If Su Ziyu had not mastered the ability to translate the language, I am afraid I would not know the name mean.
After coming here safely, the female warlocks obviously relaxed a lot.
Here Su Ziyu saw halflings for the first time here. They are only about one meter in height, have a pair of big shaggy feet, have a lively personality, and have an excellent cooking skill in rumors. These halflings seem to be elven merchants attached here, and they are very humble in the face of everyone.
"This place is really unsafe." Sitting across from Su Ziyu was Van Tesing.
The two have just started a game of Gwent card duel.
On the way to the Chamber of Commerce, the clover talisman on his chest shook at least three times. However, because there were too many people on the road, no abnormality was found. The vampires here are not visible from the outside, and they are not too afraid of the sun. Higher-level vampires even sunbathe.
There are a lot of outliers hidden in this city.
"There are many vampires here."
Fantxin’s expression was serious when he played cards, and he slowly said: "Gryphon."
"I know there is a brothel run by a vampire banshee here. Would you like to take you there to see it at night?"
Your recipe is too extensive, right?
"Dwarf defender." Su Ziyu frowned upon hearing this: "Vampire Banshee? Have you tried it?"
"Yeah. What else?" Van Tessin smirked, "They are quite special."
This guy must be fooling me.
So Su Ziyu decided to play poker seriously and stopped listening to his nonsense.
