Arcane Rebirth

0012 Steam locomotives and airships

[Oh my god! What are these smoking constructs?]

I left the quiet college area and entered the market area of ​​Jialan. I was dumbfounded and frightened by the busy traffic on the streets of [Kelan City].

Various strange-shaped structures were scurrying left and right on the streets paved with flat stone slabs. The strange air bag whistle of "Bagu! Bagu!" and the noisy environment filled with people filled the air.

The air was filled with billowing white steam and thick smoke, and the dirty air was also mixed with floating soot. Jialan, who had never seen such a scene before, couldn't adapt to it.

Perhaps noticing Jialan's "curious" expression as she stared at the vehicles, Ailan held up the skirt of her magic robe and stood on tiptoe to carefully avoid the garbage and flowing sewage on the ground. She smiled and said, "These are made by the Goblin Chamber of Commerce."

Steam locomotives are magical, right? I was shocked when I saw them for the first time! I heard that only rich people can afford to drive such steam vehicles that don’t require horses to pull them."

[Goblin steam locomotive? Has the advanced goblin civilization recovered?]

I remembered that the [Kingdom of Zylargo] was indeed the last ruins of the high goblin civilization [Dakkan Goblin Empire] that once ruled the entire land before humans set foot on the [Khorvaire Continent] in ancient times. The high goblin civilization was on this land.

Recovery is not impossible.

Before Jialan could calm down, he was startled again by a huge olive-shaped spherical aircraft floating in the sky. If he looked towards the distant ship terminal of [Kelan Port], he could even see more

The aircraft was rising and falling slowly.

Ailan, who had already walked far away, suddenly found that Jialan had not followed him. After looking back for a while, he jumped back to him, looked up at the aircraft in the sky, and looked at him strangely: "Jialan, you

Have you never seen a dwarf aeroplane before? This is the most famous flying vehicle in our [Gilargo Island]... Uh, by the way, you said you are from the Eastern Continent, and there are no dwarf aeroplanes over there in [Oriental Islands]

Boat?"

Jialan withdrew his somewhat straight eyes and smiled coquettishly, but it was difficult to explain to the girl that the "Eastern Continent" he called and the "Oriental Islands" she called were not the same place at all, so he could only say vaguely:

"It's really rare in my hometown..."

Can it be rare?

The only aircraft that Jialan has ever seen are floating towers and floating cities, but those huge floating buildings are not as agile and convenient as these aircraft.

Forcing himself not to pay attention to those things that seemed particularly strange to him, Jialan stepped into the lively market area with the girl, but his mind was shocked by the novel technologies of this era.

It seems that although the great destruction has led to the eradication of civilization, this era is not as ignorant and backward as he imagined. People have developed new magical technologies based on the original civilization, and they have

Unique civilizational characteristics.

In some respects, some technologies of this era have even surpassed the heights of previous civilizations. At least in Jialan's era, except for the ancient teleportation arrays left over from the ancient times, there was no "goblin steam" at all.

Convenient and fast means of transportation such as "motorcycle" and "dwarf aeroplane".

While talking to Ailan, Jialan was silently observing the various environments of this era. There were still "primitive" means of transportation consisting of horse-drawn carriages and various beasts of burden on the roads. Most people still relied on walking or walking.

It's a ride on a horse.

In other words, those magical "goblin steam locomotives" and "dwarf airships" are only exclusive luxuries for the upper echelons of society, and have not become popular among the civilian class. This shows that the new civilization technology of this era,

It is still in its infancy and has not yet developed to the civilian stage.

Judging from some currently known situations, the epoch of civilization caused by the Great Destruction has meant that the knowledge possessed by people in this era has not yet returned to the heights of the [Dawn Era], but it has found new ways to build on the existing knowledge system.

They have developed something of their own and gradually developed it. Over time, they may not be able to form a knowledge system that is different from the "pre-civilization" and has the characteristics of their own civilization.

Jialan, who was originally somewhat contemptuous of the fact that "Science and Demon University" only taught the incomplete and incomplete [Elemental School], a niche subject, could not help but put away her contempt and began to cast spells on this era.

Writers, scholars, and researchers stood in awe.

Judging from the pedestrians on the street, this is not only an era of civilization and new technologies, but also an era of great racial integration. Along the way, he not only saw humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings and other pre-civilizations

Common intelligent races, we even see orcs, trolls, goblins, kobolds, lycanthropes...scaled people, sea people...and various half-human, demi-human, humanoid and their sub-races!

These different races of people, whether they are [evil camp] creatures in Jialan's knowledge, or ignorant and primitive lower races, all live together in peace and harmony. It seems that in this era, the so-called

There are no more "camp barriers", there is no more "racial discrimination", and there is an atmosphere of tolerance for various cultures.

Although Jialan feels a little weird, she has to admit that this peaceful atmosphere feels very good!

He just saw a big, round-waisted orc man with a green face and fangs unloading a pile of heavy goods from a mule cart and sending them to a shop on the roadside. Then he grinned a frightening smile and said from the goblin boss's face.

He received a handful of copper Dantin in his hand as payment.

He also saw a semi-human wolf-turned-animal driver dragging a rickshaw on the road very fast, and after delivering an elf lady to the shopping street, he politely helped her down... This

Such a scene would never have occurred in his time!

[This is a strange, but pretty good time!]

A smile gradually appeared on her lips, and Jialan followed the jumping girl who looked very happy and wandered around in the extremely bustling market.

When he passed by a small stall selling groceries, his eyes suddenly froze and he stopped, staring in disbelief at the goods that the vendor spread out on the ground with a piece of shabby linen cloth.

Those are a lot of dried branches of [Blood Mistletoe Vine], one of the important materials for preparing [Hemostatic Ointment]. Although it is not a rare material, it should not be mixed with some wild fruits and placed for sale at a street stall.
