Chapter 86 Sufferers of Flagger Syndrome
Since the system did not give the ratings of two flint firing pistols, Su Wen knew that it was not worth much money, and they also had certain research value, so he had never thought of selling it.
After buying black gunpowder for pistols from weapons dealers in the northern wasteland, Su Wen tried to use it to open fire and used it to observe how these two firearms were different from similar weapons he remembered. However, because there was no way to conduct precise surveying and calculations, the detailed data could not be obtained at all, and the things obtained by somatosensory alone were not accurate. Therefore, he planned to take them out for further research after entering the Iron Furnace Province and stabilize.
Unexpectedly, the checkpoint at the border of Tielu Province was checked out.
Before this, Su Wen knew that the Doron Empire prohibited the circulation of firearms, but thought that it would be fine as long as he didn't take it out in an open manner. He could not have expected the current situation to occur. According to the information obtained from Donald, even if he entered the Iron Furnace Province instead of leaving, carrying the firearms alone would probably not be a casual crime.
The legal system of the Doron Empire was so strange. Disputes between civilians usually cannot be cured for serious crimes, but once they are involved in the interests of the nobles or the bad luck of the country, they are basically a killing.
Therefore, without further consideration, Su Wen immediately took out the two flint firing pistols from his luggage and threw them into the virtual balance of the system. The balance of exchange points in the status bar jumped slightly, and the total increase was less than a little bit, which was simply a big loss, but at least it helped Su Wen avoid trouble.
The two soldiers quickly opened the door and asked Su Wen to inspect it, but of course there was nothing to gain. After symbolically taking a movable iron plate at the bottom of the carriage, there was no problem when the carriage passed the inspection again, so the alarm was recorded as a false alarm by them. In fact, Su Wen knew that he was not an exception. Usually, 90 of the 100 alarms would eventually become false alarms. Otherwise, these guards would have caught a lot of people while he was queuing. Sure enough, the triggering conditions of the alarm were related to the amount of metal contained in the carriage, and they were particularly sensitive to firearms.
In short, Su Wen stepped onto the land of the Iron Lu Province in ache.
This is not the first time Su Wenyuan has seen a foreign race, but walking on the plain where night falls, he can still feel a completely different atmosphere from the past. Compared with the interior of the Doron Empire, the Iron Lu Province is the home court of the foreign race, and humans are just foreign guests, so the roads and architectural styles here are very different - as the Yingbin Avenue that left a first impression on outsiders, the surface owner: goblins, who spent a lot of effort and effort here, the bright lights and metal texture style made Su Wen feel like he had entered a new and interesting world. Not far ahead of the road, the foreign town that was so bright that it was like daytime, like a group of steel giant beasts that were extremely conspicuous in the dark, which made Su Wen feel that he had traveled back.
But after all, it was an illusion, because Su Wen did not think that the buildings in his world would be rocket-shaped. When he got closer, Su Wen even felt that this goblin town called Kojin didn't look like a town, but more like a giant New Year's splendid bucket filled with various fireworks and rockets, making him worried whether it would explode instantly.
Although it is not reliable to be a goblin, you will never joke about yourself and others' lives. Although the architectural style of Kejin Town is not an exaggeration to describe it as weird, Su Wen's worries are naturally redundant.
The carriages were driving steadily on the road at night, but due to the lights and the bustling traffic around, there was no loneliness that night should have. After entering the town, the towering buildings around them almost obscured the sky, and the noisy lights and wine mean that the day here is far from over.
No wonder the capital of Tielu Province is called the Golden Cave. Although it has almost the same geographical conditions and is almost as prosperous as the town of Erimo several kilometers away, the style here is clearly that people honestly take out gold coins to enjoy the squandering. Look at the shops on the street, the casinos everywhere, and the carnival-like open-air dance party, Su Wen can guarantee that the economic status here may be difficult to match in three or five towns of Erimo. The most direct impact is... The accommodation fee tonight is probably several times more expensive.
Because he was bombarded with goblin advertising as a series of mental pollution in Atalan Province, although he was very annoyed by it, Su Wen had already become immune when he saw the real goblin and almost did not feel the incongruous feeling when he saw strange aliens. He believed that most human travelers who entered the Iron Furnace Province for the first time would be similar to him, at least they would not have too much disgust towards goblins. It was able to eliminate the vigilance and guardianship caused by racial differences to the greatest extent before the passengers entered the Iron Furnace Province, so that they would be more willing to take out gold coins from their pockets. Su Wen had to admit that it was a very good idea to add "more pleasing" goblin portraits to the advertisement bombing.
The world created by the goblins was so lively that it was almost exaggerated that the always quiet Liticia was attracted. It was obviously her first time to come to the Iron Lu Province. The world that was completely different from the past cognition made her widen her eyes. Through the glass of the carriage windows, the noise and light in this alien world gave her an indescribable strange spirit.
Su Wen felt that she had rarely been so excited.
...
Not long after, Su Wen decided where to stay tonight.
This is a very self-aware hotel. The reason why Su Wen describes it this way is that it is almost the tallest rocket building in the entire Kojin, and its name is the Rocket Hotel. At the same time, it is almost the only hotel with space in the entire Kojin town, because it is too big - this cylindrical building with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 20 floors is definitely a landmark-level existence even in the large main city of the Doron Empire. The huge umbrella on the top floor of the hotel is said to have an open-air square and a swimming pool on it, but Su Wen did not come here for vacation, and this thing was not attractive to him.
However, when Liticia heard the goblin servant say this, she seemed a little moved, but in the end she didn't say anything, but silently moved into an ordinary double room with Su Wen.
"Do you want to go out for a walk?"
When she heard Su Wen say this, Liticia, who was preparing to read quietly, looked a little surprised.
In the past, whenever Su Wen arrived in a new province, he would always take some time to walk around the streets and alleys, observe stores that are especially mainly for selling weapons and equipment, and record the local market. Of course, when doing these things, in order to avoid trouble, Su Wen never lets Liticia follow him. After all, a half-elf walks on the street will always attract attention, and according to Su Wen's judgment, this kind of attention is mostly not a good thing.
Therefore, when he came to Kejin Town, Su Wen naturally had to make such observations.
Although Kejin Town is just a border town in the Iron Lu Province and may not have any valuable information, no matter what, this place belongs to the Iron Lu Province, and it is inevitable to take a walk and take a look. As for the plan to bring Liticia with me, it was because Su Wen felt that she seemed to be interested in this place, and might take the opportunity to gain favorability or something.
After being surprised, Liticia nodded to Suwen.
"To go."
She seemed a little happy.
During the journey across most of the Doron Empire, the scale of Kejin Town is not large at all, but the noisy atmosphere here is incomparable to those provincial main cities. There are two completely different flavors of passing by in a carriage and walking on the streets. The former is like a quick look, while the latter is truly integrated into this world.
There is a huge fountain in front of the Rocket Hotel building. Countless colorful lights and misty sprayers have created this place into an illusory wonderland, and there are even lush forests in the fountain. From the canopy of more than 20 meters, several small houses woven from vines hang upside down between the branches like cradles. When Su Wen looked up, he found that several tree elves emitting glimmers were flapping their wings and flying beside the hut. Among them, two small spots poked their heads out of the holes in the tree house and looked down at the noisy crowd below with strange eyes.
This tree elves, which are not much bigger than butterflies, are close relatives of the elves. Although they have little threat to other creatures, they should be expelled to the polar regions with the elves after the racial war. Unexpectedly, the goblins actually set up a small home for them here, but Su Wen knew that the purpose of the goblins was obviously not for humanitarian assistance, but for them to be a landscape that blends with the fountain in the forest for foreign travelers to appreciate.
Looking up at these tree elves, Liticia seemed to have some hope in her expression, but more of it was a kind of inexplicable sadness.
"They won't be happy."
She said softly, as if she was just talking to herself.
"That's because you can have enough food, so I feel so. Compared to more miserable guys, these elves have already lived a good life." Su Wen patted Liticia on the shoulder and said. If you could live and work in peace just at this level, you would have no idea how many creatures on this continent would wake up in their dreams.
While saying this, Su Wen noticed that a little human girl with a jacquard was standing next to the fountain not far away, obviously selling flowers.
Suwen was immediately overjoyed. This time she came out to win over Liticia's favorability. She was just worried that she became sentimental because she saw her distant relative. The props in front of her appeared. According to the usual routine, this little girl should be very eye-catching to sell bouquets. However, although this loli was not proactive at all, there was no better choice. As for Liticia, she would not have a sense of surprise when she brought her. It is estimated that the favorability brought by the bouquet would be greatly reduced. Although she is not very familiar with Kejin Town, she is not a child anymore. How could there be any problems if she leaves for a while?
Thinking of this, Su Wen walked around half of the square outside the fountain and came to the little loli in a dress. He first patted her head affectionately and praised her for being an excellent maid in the future. Then he spent 5 gold coins to buy five bouquets of red roses in her sweet smile, and did not find that he had been slaughtered at all.
After the little loli tied them into flowers with beautiful gold foil and tied them with cute bows with colorful ribbons, Su Wen held them with great satisfaction and walked towards the place he came.
But when Su Wen found that Liticia was surrounded by several drunk human businessmen, Su Wen suddenly agreed with the comment James gave him.
