Double portal: starting from the contract with the ice wolf tribe girl!

Four hours later, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Black Rock City. Along the way, Liu Jian and Setsuna only rested once and only replenished food and water.

During the process, they also encountered several farmers driving ox carts, carrying wooden shields and pitchforks, and a group of adventurers riding mountain horses heading in the opposite direction with Liu Jian.

Although Thomas Hampson's farm has been destroyed, the Monster Cave in Blackstone Forest is still considered a"monster spawning point" relatively close to Blackstone City.

For the magic core and materials, there will always be adventurers coming one after another. After all, if you don’t go, they will come.

The two parties passing by were on the same page, there was no communication, just a slight eye contact.

Both of them were wearing jackets, and they looked like fellow adventurers in a hurry.

On the contrary, the"interception" crossbow in Liu Jian's hand attracted many curious eyes because of its avant-garde and novel shape, but it did not cause any trouble.

After all, there are a lot of fancy weapons in the city, and the town is not only a settlement, but also the center of regional order.

Adventurers don't dare to be too presumptuous here.

Currently, Liu Jian's place is said to be on the outskirts of the town, but in fact it is still several miles away from Black Rock City. Not far ahead are villages and farms surrounded by triple protective walls.

Crossbows and catapults reinforced with iron sheets were set up on tall sentry towers. There were spiked horses on both sides of the road, as well as guards holding long hook knives.

The villages and farms on the outskirts of these towns are like a star ring, surrounding Black Rock City and distributed with it as the core.

Once monsters attack, they are the town's first line of defense!

From the high point here, you can already see the distant view of the city.

The real Black Rock City is much larger than Liu Jian expected. A conservative estimate is that it is at least a bit larger than Blue Star's county-level city.

(The normal standard for the urban area of ​​​​Blue Star County should be 25 square kilometers. This information comes from Wandu.)

It lies on the ground like a very irregular mottled scar.

The rammed earth road extending from the west passes directly through the village and gradually becomes wider.

This road is just one of many surrounding roads, and Black Rock City is an important intersection of all road lines.

When they entered the village, they found the feces of various animals everywhere. The unpleasant smell came directly to their faces and hit their foreheads. The expression on their faces became distorted. But there was no other way. Liu Jian could only endure it. On the contrary, Setsuna acted like he was used to it.

……

Here, Liu Jian saw a chicken with two heads (I wonder if he could play basketball), a cow with four eyes, and a strong mule with a bulge on its back that was as big as a heavy draft horse... The villagers mainly called them Mainly humans, with a small number of wild boars and bearded dwarves.

To be honest, maybe he was mentally prepared for it. When Liu Jian saw these aliens, he didn't feel surprised in his heart.

The main thing is that the lifestyle of these guys is almost the same as that of humans, and there is no sense of violation.

In exchange for two pieces of bread with the packaging torn off, Liu Jian and Setsuna took a mule cart into the city.

The truck bed filled with straw has the unique stench of cow dung.

They sat alone on one side, and soon another farmer wearing rough linen clothes got into the car with a few copper coins, fruits and grain, and leaned far away from the two of them.

"Snapped!"

The sound of clear whips sounded, and the mule cart headed towards Black Rock City.

……

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at Black Rock City.

The mule cart stopped outside the city to undertake the task of transporting goods to the traveling merchants traveling nearby.

Liu Jian and Setsuna got out of the car and looked at each other.

In front of them is a city tower with a height of more than 20 meters, and their location is the west gate.

The two huge iron gates at the front and back are hung by thick nooses and can be lowered separately in an emergency.

There are tooth-shaped walls on the tower, with braziers and rattan baskets filled with arrows.

Every five or six meters away stood an archer with a long bow on his back, looking listlessly into the distance.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, daily grinding is indispensable (catching fish is fun for a while, and fishing will always be fun).

Two tattered flags fluttered in the wind, with the emblem of a bird held on the wrist vaguely visible.

At the city gate, there was a group of town guards wearing light leather armor and holding two-meter long spears.

Traveling merchants followed the baggage trains into the city, and farmers carrying sacks or coarse cloth could be seen everywhere.

There are also many bohemian adventurers gathered in groups at the announcement table at the city gate, looking at the latest news and commissioned tasks with high rewards inside and outside the city.

Liu Jian even saw a big adventurer more than two meters tall.

Sitting on this guy's shoulder was a dwarf spellcaster holding a staff, who was concentrating on bargaining in front of a traveling merchant stall.

Next to him was a pure priest wearing a plain white striped robe with blue edges and a monk's hat. He was calmly and indifferently gazing at the sky reflected by the double sun.

On the road, those sexy and plump female hunters and warriors are also common.

In addition, there are various alien races with very strange shapes and appearances, all of which are decent-looking and wear different styles of clothes and armor.

Vulgar shouting and chatter were intertwined, making it as noisy as walking into a market.

In an instant, at Liu Jian's signal, he took his arm and walked into the city. Perhaps it was the first time he saw Dongfang's face, and the guard looked at him a few more times.

But that was all, and he didn't stop him out of his own way.

Entering the city, the air was still filled with the faint smell of manure and sour sweat, and occasionally the complex smell of feet and bad breath. The overall feeling was only a little better than in the village.

Underfoot was a hard road paved with gravel, covered with a layer of silt-like dirt, and the ditches on both sides were gurgling with smelly water.

Liu Jian said, this is really Western fantasy (medieval)!

The natives of the other world seem to be accustomed to the stench in the city.

(Liu Jian began to adapt to the smell because he smelled it too much, or became numb.)

Travelers and adventurers who are more sophisticated will spray floral dew or carry sachets filled with flower petals.

But in this way, as the crowds move forward, the smell becomes more complex and unpleasant.

As the main road connecting the city gate, the width of this road is roughly equivalent to the two-way four-lane of Blue Star.

Animal-driven vehicles such as mules, horses, and ox carts with iron bells hanging on them are quite common.

The buildings on both sides of the street can be mainly divided into three categories according to the construction materials: wood, stone, and mixed (wood and stone mixed) materials.

Most of the wooden and stone buildings are suspended arcades or towers with red tile domes.

Most of the other buildings are relatively low, with few buildings exceeding four floors, and many of them are temporary"three-and-a-half-story" buildings, as if a hat has been suddenly put on the house.

There are many shops along the street selling linen clothing, leather armor, farm tools, ironware and other practical items.

There were many small vendors dressed as farmers on the street, loudly selling fruits and fruits that Liu Jian didn't recognize and meat that looked extremely unhygienic, giving him a backward and ancient feeling.

Its architectural style is similar to European-style ancient cities such as Carcassonne, Toledo, Bruges and Perugia in Blue Star.

Of course, this is still only the outer city of Black Rock City.

According to the previous introduction, the urban area is mainly divided into three circles.

Class determines the scope of the circle within which one can move.

They were currently in the third outermost circle, which was also the largest urban area.

Most of the needs of adventurers, farmers, traveling merchants and ordinary people can be met within this circle.

Liu Jian didn't need to arrive at the first/second circle in person to guess that the buildings there must be neater and more beautiful.

Every ten minutes, a garrison team of twelve people would pass through the street to maintain public order.

In fact, the city is relatively peaceful, and no one will cause trouble on the streets.

As for the darkness, there is no guarantee, but at least there is order on the surface.

As for the itinerary after arriving at Black Rock City, Liu Jian had already made a clear plan, and the blueprint in his mind was being implemented bit by bit. ps: Please give me flowers, please collect, please recommend, please comment, please please.
