Chapter 561: Visitors (Part 2)

"Have you heard? A group of foreign adventurers have arrived in our city, and the city lord is personally receiving them!"

One of the soldiers standing at the city gate was humane to the surroundings.

"Really? Who did you listen to?" A group of soldiers next to them suddenly became interested. There has been a lot of noise about foreign adventurers these days. Unlike the panic in the hearts of ordinary residents, the soldiers are more curious and looking forward to it.

Now that they are facing a catastrophe, they are equivalent to survivors of an isolated city in the last days. In their hearts, they are more eager for compatriots in other places to survive. After all, no one really hopes that the end of the world will come.

"When I went to get you a meal just now, I heard people talking about it. It is said that this time the foreign adventurers will openly meet with the city lord, and everyone is allowed to watch. If you have any questions, you can ask them face to face!"

"Is it true that I'm going?" The soldier next to him was excited at first, and then he was puzzled: "No, I've been on duty here since the early morning. Why don't I know if there are outsiders? Which city gate is it from?" came in?"

There are only two city gates in Gondolin, and now they are at the city gate facing the empire. It is rumored that the adventurers this time are human forces, so it is impossible to come from the Blackstone Plain, right?

"It is said that our Master Mage has researched the magic channel connecting with other cities, and the foreign adventurers come through there!"

"There is such a thing?" The soldier suddenly became excited, his face was full of surprise, but he didn't doubt it in his heart. After all, these mages brought by Lord Isabel have already done too many miraculous things.

The planting of artificial land, the transportation of equipment and food out of thin air, and the biological modification surgery that almost brought people back to life, all brought new hope to this crumbling city!

"Where is that position? I'll be on duty soon, I'll go take a look"

"I told you that I want you to go to see it later and come back and tell us about the situation. I heard that the address is in the trial square dedicated to the city lord."

"Okay, okay, I'll go when that guy Black Bear comes to change my shift!!""

"Welcome, adventurers from afar!" On the other side of the square, the sea of ​​people was almost completely surrounded at this time. Both the soldiers on the outskirts and the residents in the city were very curious about these so-called outsiders. The orcs all came to join in the fun.

As a condition for priority selection of shops, Xiaobaicai and others must cooperate in a wave of shows. At this time, Xiaobaicai and others have done arcane makeup, and each of them looks and dresses very similar to the locals of the Gangwu Empire.

In order to be more realistic, Gandi and others also carried out some mutated makeup.

"You are polite, Lord Duke!" Xiaobaicai gave a noble salute crookedly. The flower spirit's temperament is very good. People felt very well-mannered, and even some nobles nodded secretly, thinking that this must be a young lady raised by a high-ranking noble family.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the new heir of Dorrenker in the south: Miss Corinthine Marquis, the food and weapons and equipment that our Gondolin has arrived this time are all provided by this lord, let us use She is welcomed with great respect.”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers and civilians on the field were stunned for a moment, and then thunderous applause and cheers broke out! !

The new food these days made them bid farewell to the fear of famine before, and the food not only solved food and clothing, but also allowed them, the bottom people, to taste the delicacy of the world. It feels that any cooked food is better than those nobles The steak is even more delicious!

The people at the bottom are relatively simple. Whoever solves their food and clothing problems is a god. Isabel is also because the prestige of that batch of food has almost reached the highest point in history. Everyone immediately had a good impression of Xiaobaicai, an outsider!

However, some high-ranking nobles were a little puzzled. The materials in the south are luxurious, but they have never heard of the wonderful agricultural products of Gondolin. They always thought that those things were researched by the mages. Those weapons and equipment can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Their exquisite workmanship is not inferior to the epic suits made by top dwarf masters.

Nowadays, most of the dwarf craftsmen are concentrated in the north. I have never heard of a city with such superb forging technology in the south. At least the Dorrenkel and the others have never heard of any brilliant dwarf masters there, and such a big city It is obviously not something that one or two dwarf masters can create!

But these two doubts are not the focus of their concern now, they are more concerned about another thing now.

"My lord, what do you mean, there are still a large number of survivors in southern cities like us?"

"Yes!!" Isabel nodded: "The infection in the south is relatively small, and there is enough time to resist, and most of the main force of the empire has successfully retreated to the south. Cheers, everyone, there are still many of our compatriots who survived. In every corner, this disaster is not so terrible, one day we will regain the lost ground and completely defeat this natural disaster!!"

Although Isabel's appearance looked very serious at this time, the content of the words still had an exciting effect, and all the people immediately cheered!

When the secret old city lord forces heard that there were other survivor city forces, they immediately glanced at each other, and felt that they could make some moves from other aspects, and they didn't have to continue to fight with the powerful woman now.

After all, if possible, they don't want to face Isabel with such a sharp wrist

"Since they can come, my lord, 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 desperately wants to go back, and wants to know if his family is safe. He had given up hope before, but now

"Not for now." Isabel shook her head.

As soon as these words came out, the scene froze for a moment, and the faces of the people who were about to continue cheering suddenly froze.

Isabel explained unhurriedly: "Magic channels are expensive and require a lot of arcane crystals. Until a low-cost channel is developed, ordinary people's teleportation is not currently supported."

Don't support ordinary people? Everyone looked at each other immediately when they heard the words, and thought to themselves: What does the city lord mean? Could it be that this is the noble channel for the farts to retreat?

"My lord, who do you mean by the extraordinary people?" A soldier of Xiongke asked in a low voice.

"Rich people!" Isabel said bluntly: "For the time being, this channel only supports people who can provide a large amount of arcane crystals. Get the chance to go south."

"This" everyone looked at each other, and the lord's blunt explanation dispelled many people's doubts. At this time, Isabel's prestige is extremely high, and there is no one who dares to make trouble unreasonably. As long as the explanation is reasonable, no one will make trouble, but although the explanation is reasonable, Everyone still felt an inexplicable aggrieved feeling, and the enthusiasm just now dissipated a lot.

"But don't be discouraged, everyone. The situation I said is only temporary!" Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Isabel smiled and explained: "These adults who have paid a lot of money to come to us are not here for tourism, they are here for Help us build a channel of hope!"

Hope channel?

This word made everyone look at Isabel who had turned into a hairball with a tinge of expectation.

"Yes, the Passage of Hope!" Isabel said with a smile: "In addition to them, there will be a steady stream of lords with soldiers coming here. The purpose of their coming here is to help explore and clear a Passage of Hope to the south. In this process, we will continue to recover the former city, and make the former Imperial Avenue regain its glory!"

"Clean the passage? This..." Everyone looked at each other immediately, not knowing what to say for a while, going out to face those mutated monsters? Are these southerners crazy? When did it become so kind?

"Of course I also encourage our soldiers to participate!" Isabel laughed.

Everyone's face was twitched when they heard that, and those Xiong Ke fighters who were usually hot-tempered were all silent at this time, obviously no one present was willing to face those mutated monsters

Isabel had expected this scene long ago, and she was not in a hurry. She knew that no one here wanted to face mutant creatures. This kind of thing could not be threatened, but could only be lured and guided.

So she continued: "The grown-ups here will rent the shops here and provide you with goods. For example, this grown-up will provide well-crafted cloth and ready-made tailoring clothes, and this grown-up will provide excellent leather goods, and Some food, salt, sugar, cotton and other daily necessities that we don’t have here, of course there will be some other things, spices, jewelry and even some unexpected magic items will appear. Come and reappear!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words. Clothes are in short supply in the city, and quilts are not enough at all. Salt, sugar, and leather products are also in short supply. When they heard that outsiders would provide these, everyone was excited up.

But then he became suspicious again, and one of the nobles asked curiously: "But my lord, you just said that these are trading items, what should we exchange them for? The old gold coins?"

Obviously, Gondolin has completely lost its trade function today, and the previous currency is basically abandoned. Now the food is distributed evenly. Although everyone can eat enough, there is no surplus food to exchange for supplies. How do they trade these foreign commodities?

"This is the purpose of my calling everyone here today!" Isabel said solemnly: "Here, I will announce the centimeter system of Gondolin in the future, and please convey the system announced today to the compatriots who were not present. There will also be an announcement to inform the audience!"

Centimeter system?

"Yes!" Isabel said seriously: "From now on, everyone involved in farming, deforestation, and soldiers standing guard will not be free of charge. I will reward you with centimeters according to your contribution, and these centimeters can be used to trade items. Below I Briefly describe the details”

That's it for today, Rubik's Cube fell asleep, I can't even open my eyelids, I will start adding changes tomorrow, slip away! !
