Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 196: City News

After two days of voyage, the supply ship arrived in Memphis City on the afternoon of the third day. This is a city of the same size as Ayr City, but because of the military supply, the atmosphere is much more serious than Ayr City.

Many people in military uniforms can be seen on the dock and in the city. For some reason, the military uniforms here are 60% to 70% similar to those on the earth. Xiao Chen and others feel like they are in a strange earth country in the early 20th century.

"It's not magical at all," Luo Ling said. When she walked through the streets in the city, her eyes lingered on the windows of several clothing stores. Those trench coats and dresses placed on human-shaped shelves, if they were moved directly to the earth It doesn't look too awkward, at most it's retro. But in the fashion world of reincarnation, this style may set off a new trend.

Xiao Chen touched her and pointed forward.

I saw two workers laying wires on a pole. This should be a newly erected wire, and there were several poles without wires on the front.

Luo Ling said, "Don't you think it's magical to have such a kind of earth civilization in the magic world? What kind of power is it to restrain them from using convenient and efficient magic power, but in this way?"

Xiao Chen also shook his head.

Essert said, "The wire is still a new thing in the South. The Yankees are always more conservative. When new things come out, they always take a few beats to use.

Like these power supply companies, they basically started from the north of the mainland. Now in the Memphis City, laying the wire, the commander of the Montagnao accounted for a lot of shares. "

For these Eastern Europeans, Esselit already has some trust and has not tabooed too much. On the contrary, when it comes to these things, he has a sense of pride.

"You can see a similar scene on our territory in the Eastern Continent." Roger said.

"You have magic power, and still use electricity?" Essett was very surprised. The knowledge of magic in the past two days made him feel that this is a kind of energy that exceeds the electricity.

"Just like your steam ship will use magic crystal and coal at the same time, won't it? These two energy sources are not contradictory, and ... can be prepared for unexpected needs."

"However, speaking of electricity as a main energy source, it has been used in various places for more than ten years. But in the past ten years, various changes have been too great."

"However, Memphis City, as a military center, did not take the lead in using electricity first?" Roger asked.

"That's not true," Essert said, pointing to a high-rise building with six or seven floors in the distance. "In an important facility like the headquarters, it was already powered on. The lines now laid are for some peripherals. Facilities, or civilian use. "

auzw.com Sure enough, when they passed a street, they saw a worker installing electric lights in the window of a clothing store. By the way, the original oil lamp and candlestick were removed. It seems that as long as the wire is connected here At night, there will be an extra brightly lit window.

"I remember when I was little, most of the lights used oil. At that time, the glass of the window was always green. Of course, there are more advanced lamps that consume the crystal wick. But the crystal wick is very expensive, so only Money people can only afford it. "

"What is a crystal wick?" Luo Ling asked curiously.

"It is to break the fire crystal and grind it into powder, mix the powder with charcoal powder and the like, and then ignite and burn."

"Don't you ever use arrays to light spars? Don't you use lighting spars, healing spars, imaging spars or something?" Luo Ling asked.

"Are you saying this?" Essert took out a small spar from his pocket. From the color, it should be a therapeutic spar. "Of course, spars are used, but we must use grudge to activate them. , So it ca n’t be used on artifacts. As for the magic circle ... it ’s the power of the devil here. I heard that some wizards will make similar things. But using them in public is death. "

"Since Memphis changed the logistics commander, there has been such a change. That commander is the cousin of General Montagno." Essert showed a "you know" look, "The Virgin At the end of the last life, as we said, this is the beginning of a new era. At that time, many people did not understand what this means. Now, everyone begins to understand slowly. Since the steam and electricity There are too many changes in the world, and those changes are too fast to be understood. "

Essett led them through an alley and came to a large intersection. This should be the most central and bustling location in Memphis City. A carriage passed by in front of them.

"A lot of changes have taken place in this transformation. Some families seized the opportunity and turned into pivotal big families. Some old and noble families, without catching up with this wave of change, slowly fell silent. Monta General Neo ’s family is undoubtedly the best among them. "

"It seems that their family is better at accepting new things?" Luo Ling said.

"It's not that they welcome innovation. Their family has a steadfast belief in the virgin. This family has always followed in the footsteps of the virgin. No matter how incredible the instructions given by the virgin at that time, they I will try it. Even if there are many times of bleeding, I will not stop. Sometimes they will suffer a lot of frustration from the beginning, but the guidance of the Holy Girl will always prove to be correct. So ... their family, There are also other families that follow the saints firmly, often at the forefront. "

"So, there are still some people who disagree with the saint or even against her?" Xiao Chen asked.

"There can be no different opinions. There are always some things that involve various interests. In order to protect their own interests, some people can do anything. No one in this country will openly oppose the saint, but you can oppose the sage Yes, you can also oppose the city hall. To oppose one thing, you have many ways. "Essert said.

Xiao Chen nodded, and she knew this kind of thing well.

Xiao Chen and others saw patrolled gendarmes on the road, but Esseliet put on the uniform of the navy captain and naturally unimpeded in the city.

It should be that General Montanio had already broken through the relationship. They didn't stay in the city for long, and they went directly to the transportation convoy. In the evening, the group was already in the convoy and headed towards the Virgin.
