Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Three: Guest (Part 2)
"Did you hear that? A group of outside adventurers have arrived in our city, and the city lord is being received by himself!"
One of the soldiers of the station city gate squad was told to the surrounding people.
"Is that so? Who did you hear?" A group of soldiers next to him suddenly became interested. Things about outside adventurers have caused a lot of controversy these days. Unlike the fear in the hearts of ordinary residents, the soldiers are more curious and expectant.
Now that we are suffering from a great disaster, we are equivalent to survivors of the lonely city of the end of the world. They are more eager for compatriots in other places to survive. After all, no one will really hope that the end of the world will come.
"I just heard people talk about it when I went to get you food, saying that this time the adventurers from abroad would meet with the city lord publicly, allowing everyone to watch, and you can ask any questions in person!"
"I'm going to be true or not?" The soldier next to him was excited at first, and then he said in confusion: "No, I have been on duty here since the early morning. Why don't I know about outsiders? Which city gate did he come in?"
Gondolin only has two city gates, and now they are the one facing the empire. It is rumored that the adventurers are human forces this time, so it is impossible for them to come from the Black Stone Plain, right?
"I heard that our wizard has developed a magic channel connected to other cities, and foreign adventurers come through there!"
"There is such a thing?" The soldier suddenly became excited, his face full of surprise, but he did not doubt it. After all, these mages brought by Lord Isabel had done too many miracles.
The artificial land planting, transporting equipment and food out of thin air, and the biological transformation surgery that almost resurrects the dead brings new hope to this seemingly shaky city!
"Are you in that position? I'm on duty and I'll go and take a look..."
"I said that I asked you to go and see it later. I came back and told us about the situation. I heard that the address is in the city lord's special trial square..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go when that guy Black Bear comes to change my class!!"
-------------------------------------------------
"Welcome to you, adventurers who come from afar!" At this time, there were crowds of people almost completely surrounded. Both the soldiers outside and the residents in the city were very curious about these so-called outsiders, and even the orcs came to join in the fun.
As a priority for choosing shops, Xiao Baicai and others must cooperate to make a show. At this time, Xiao Baicai and others have done arcane makeup, and their appearance and dress are very close to the locals of the Gangwu Empire.
In order to be more realistic, Rendi and others also put on some mutated makeup.
"You are kind to you, Duke!" Xiao Baicai gave a noble ceremony in a crooked manner. Hua Ling's temperament was very good. Although she had put on makeup, her temperament was difficult to overwhelm. Although Xiao Baicai's movements were extremely unprofessional, she gave people a feeling of being very demeanor. Even some nobles nodded secretly, thinking that this must be a lady raised in a high-ranking noble family.
"I'll introduce you to you that this is the new heir of Dorenkel in the South: Miss Marquis de Kelinstin. This time, our new food and weapons and equipment in Gundolin are provided by this adult. Let us welcome her with great respect..."
As soon as these words were said, the soldiers and civilians on the court were stunned at first, and then there were thunderous applause and cheers!!
The new food these days made them completely bid farewell to the previous fear of famine. Moreover, those foods not only solved the food and clothing, but also made them, the lower-class people, have the honor to taste the delicious food in the world. It feels that whatever is cooked is even better than the noble steaks!
The people at the bottom are relatively simple. Whoever solves their food and clothing problem is God. Isabel is also because of the prestige of that batch of food has almost reached the highest point of the city lord in history. Now that I learned that the food was actually provided by outsiders in front of me, everyone immediately had a considerable favor to Xiao Baicai, an outsider!
However, some high-level nobles were a little confused. The south was luxurious, but they had never heard of the wonderful agricultural products in Gundolin. They always thought that those things were studied by the masters of the wizards, and they also had the weapons and equipment. It was seen by a person with a good vision. Their meticulous workmanship was not inferior to the epic suits created by top dwarf masters.
Most of the dwarf craftsmen are now concentrated in the north. I have never heard of a city with such superb forging skills in the south. At least that Dorenkel and the others have never heard of any clever dwarf masters there. And with such a large number, it is obviously not something that one or two dwarf masters can create!
However, these two doubts are not the focus of their concern now, they are more concerned about another thing now.
"Sir, what you mean, the southern cities, like us, have a large number of survivors?"
"Yes!!" Isabel nodded: "The infection in the south is relatively small, and I have enough time to resist. Moreover, most of the main legions of the Empire have successfully retreated to the south. Cheer, everyone, we still have many compatriots who are lucky enough to live in every corner. This disaster is not so terrible. One day we will recover the lost land and completely defeat this natural disaster!!"
Although Isabel looked very unserious at this time, the content of this sentence still caused an exciting effect, and all the people immediately cheered!
When the old city lords in secret heard that there were other survivors, they immediately looked at each other, and felt that they could move some articles from other aspects. They didn’t have to continue to fight to the point that women were so powerful now...
After all, if they can, they wouldn't want to face Isabel with such a sharp wrist...
"That adult... since they can come here, then... can we go to the south?" In the crowd, a businessman from the south asked excitedly.
After hearing that there are many surviving cities in the south, he urgently wanted to go back, wanting to know whether his family was safe. He had no hope before, but now...
"Not yet..." Isabel shook his head.
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly stopped, and the people who were originally going to continue cheering suddenly froze.
Isabel explained without rushingly: "The magic channel is expensive and requires a large amount of arcane crystals. Before a low-cost channel is developed, it is not currently supported for ordinary people to teleport."
Don’t support ordinary people? When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and said to each other: What does the city lord mean? Is this a noble channel for the people to retreat?
"Sir, who do you mean the extraordinary person you are?" A soldier from Xiong Ke asked in a muffled voice.
"Rich people!" Isabel said bluntly: "This passage only supports people who can provide a large number of arcane crystals for the time being. I have no choice. After all, our city does not produce this thing, and I cannot win everyone the opportunity to go to the south."
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and the adult's blunt explanation allowed many people to eliminate their doubts. At this time, Isabel's prestige was extremely high, and there was no one who dared to make trouble. As long as the explanation was reasonable, everyone would not cause trouble. But even though the explanation was reasonable, everyone still felt an inexplicable sense of aggrievance, and the enthusiasm just now disappeared a lot.
"But don't be discouraged. What I said is only temporary!" Isabel saw that everyone was in a low mood and explained with a smile: "These adults who paid a lot of money to come to us are not here for tourism. They come here to help us establish a channel for hope!"
Hope channel?
This word made everyone look forward to Isabel, who had become a fur ball, with a hint of expectation.
"Yes, the Hope Pass!" Isabel smiled and said, "In the future, in addition to them, there will be a steady stream of lords with soldiers here. Their purpose is to help explore and clear out a Hope Pass Pass to the south. In this process, we will continue to regain the previous city and make the former Empire Avenue regain its glory!"
"Clean the passage? This..." Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, going out to face those mutated monsters? Are these southerners crazy? When did they become so kind?
"Of course... I also encourage us to have soldiers involved!" Isabel smiled.
Everyone's expressions were twitching when they heard this. The Xiong Ke warriors who were usually hot-tempered were silent at this time. Obviously, no one here would be willing to face those mutated monsters...
Isabel had expected this scene, and she was not in a hurry. She knew very well that no one here wanted to face mutated creatures. Such things could not be threatened, and could only induce and guide...
So she continued: "The current adults will rent the shops here and provide goods to everyone. For example, this adult will provide fine handmade cloth and ready-made tailor clothes. This adult will provide excellent fur products, as well as food, salt, sugar, cotton and other daily necessities that we do not have here. Of course, there will be some other things, spices, jewelry and even some magical items that everyone unexpectedly will appear. Our former trade market in Gondolin will reappear because of the arrival of these adults!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Now the city is short of clothing and quilts are not enough. Those salt, sugar and leather products are also scarce supplies. When they hear that those outsiders will provide these, they suddenly became excited.
But then he had doubts again, and one of the nobles curiously said: "But sir, you just said that these are trading items. What should we exchange for? Did you use the gold coins in the past?"
Obviously, the trade function in the Gundamlin has completely lost its trading function, and the currency in the past has been basically abandoned. Now that food is distributed equally, everyone can eat enough, there is no excess food for goods. How do they trade these foreign goods?
"This is the purpose of gathering everyone today!" Isabel said solemnly: "Here, I will announce the future centimeter system of Gundolin. Please convey the announced system today to the compatriots who did not attend the audience. I will also present an announcement and notice to the audience!"
Centimeter system?
