Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 407 7 cities of gold

"Good morning! Lucky Salazar!"

"Good morning! Unyielding Angelo!"

The morning sun is swaying on this piece of land at the other end of the ocean, and the withered branches and leaves seem to remind the winter that is coming.

Walking on the dirt road in the city-state, Salazar Knox smiled and greeted those companions who had nothing to do with him in the past.

Since returning to the city-state of Padilla, Salazar has received a brand-new title-the lucky one.

And those friends who were just nodding acquaintances with them, their attitudes towards them are obviously much eager.

During the recent period of time, Salazar can clearly feel that he has suddenly become a well-known figure in the entire Padilla city-state.

Being chased by the mutant species to jump into the sea, such an experience is certainly not something to show off.

But the important thing is...

After he jumped into the sea, he was lucky enough to be rescued.

The one who saved him came from another continent, from a mysterious country called the Duchy of Idar.

Salazar's understanding of the Duchy of Idar came only from a few words from Captain Hausen.

But even so, he also clearly recognized the powerful strength of those Idars. After all...not to mention how complete the equipment they wear, they can only rely on strong ships and guns to travel across the oceans. This piece of land is enough to explain many problems.

and…

As the first indigenous inhabitant of the deserted land to come into contact with the Idars, Salazar saw firsthand that the Idars carried the surviving mutants onto ships, and saw that they did not cost a single soldier. A dozen menacing mutants were killed and wounded.

Thanks to various coincidences, Salazar now has become the Idar’s guide on this continent, leading the soldiers of the Idar Principality time and time again to explore this land that is relatively unfamiliar to them.

Passing through the noisy streets and turning three or two street corners, Salazar finally came to this city-state, in front of the few houses that looked particularly magnificent.

Here is the temporary residence of the Idars in Padilla city-state.

Under the threat of mutants, the value of houses in Padilla City-state is not measured by currency, but by the number of mutants killed to determine what kind of house you are eligible to live in.

so…

When Captain Hausen used blood-stained iron chains to drag a long string of mutant corpses across the market, this one of the best houses in the city-state of Padilla naturally became a temporary place for the Idars. station.

The flag symbolizing the Stuart family, the ruler of the Principality of Idar, was hung high on the flagpole on the roof.

On both sides of the gate, there is a heavily armed Idar soldier on duty.

And under the eaves opposite the house, even though the Idars have been here for a long time, there are still many idle residents who are curious about the Idar soldiers standing guard. look.

certainly,

Naturally, a house in a small area can't contain a whole ship of Idar soldiers, so this is just one of the temporary residences of the Idars on this land.

As the commander-in-chief of the ocean-going fleet, although the indigenous inhabitants of Padilla City-state did not show any malice towards the arrival of the Idars, Captain Hausen still maintained his due vigilance and distance.

Except for him and his guards stationed in the Padilla city-state, the vast majority of Idar soldiers still stayed behind the warships, and set up a temporary camp of a certain scale near the coast.

"I'm here to see Master Hausen..."

Salazar spoke to the soldiers on both sides.

As a guide for the Idars, Salazar will report to the Idar’s resident’s premises every morning. The soldiers on duty in front of the gate have already taken offense. They just checked for a while and released Salazar. Go in.

The first floor has been transformed into a meeting room and reception room by the Idars. After greeting several Idar soldiers sitting in the hall, Salazar stepped upstairs.

"Boom boom boom..."

"come in."

Hearing this, Salazar pushed in and saw Captain Hausen facing the map on the wall in a daze.

The map hung on the wall is a meeting gift given by the elders of Padilla city-state to the Idars the other day.

Of course,

With the approval of Captain Hausen, the Idars also presented several sets of Idar soldiers' standard armor as a thank you.

For the indigenous people living on this continent, this lightweight and highly protective standard armor is definitely a rare treasure!

"Your continent... is not small!"

Captain Howson involuntarily licked the corners of his slightly dry mouth.

"It seems not small, but as I mentioned to you before, most of this continent is occupied by mutant species, even if it is on the road between the two city-states. , There will be no small risks, let alone exploring the forests and mountains far in the sky." Salazar said with a wry smile.

In these days, he spent most of his time accompanying the soldiers of Idar to explore the forests around Padilla. In just one week, he encountered mutants almost more often than he had in the past six months. I have seen a lot.

Had it not been for the Idar soldiers to escape without danger every time with their own weapons and equipment, and promised to pay him a lot of money, Salazar would have disappeared.

Captain Howson nodded slightly, but his eyes remained on the map hanging on the wall.

The Padilla city-state is located on the southwest coast of the Lost Lands, and it is precisely because of this that it became the first city-state to contact the Idars.

In these days, through communicating with the indigenous people living on this continent, Captain Howson has basically figured out the situation in the abandoned land.

first,

Human beings are not the masters of this continent. Countless mutant species occupy most of the land. Humans can only keep warm in groups and build city-states on the edge of the continent.

The number of residents in these city-states varies. Small and medium-sized city-states like Padilla have nearly 10,000 residents. In some large-scale city-states, the number of residents may even reach more than 100,000.

Yes,

The existence of mutants has caused poor communication between the city-states, so that even now, there is still no stable and huge political power formed on this land, only a large number of independent city-state neighboring countries.

Moreover, the governing systems of various city-states are also different.

For example, the Padilla city-state where Captain Hausen is now, is a human city-state with the elders at the core. The three elders in the elders control all matters in the city-state and are responsible for organizing fighters to resist mutants. Invasion.

In addition, there are city-states with family bonds at the core of their rule, and city-states led by the most powerful fighters in the region... There are many different types of governance structures and forms of governance.

Secondly,

According to Captain Howson, in addition to small and medium-sized city-states like Padilla city-states, there are seven most powerful city-states on this continent.

And they are called "Golden Seven Cities" by the local indigenous people.

Compared with other small and medium-sized city-states, the Golden Seven Cities are closer to the inland, occupying more fertile and prosperous land, nurturing a larger population, and possessing more powerful forces and troops.

In addition, each city in the "Golden Seven Cities" has a unique sacred site. It is with these sacred sites that the Golden Seven Cities can stand safely in the inland of the empire densely covered with mutant species.

Although there are no people who have been to the Seven Golden Cities at all, and even because they are inland, they have no contact with other city-states, but in this vast land... there are always legends about the Seven Golden Cities.

It is said that...

No one knows the exact location of the Seven Golden Cities. Only those warriors who can traverse the deep forest alone under the enclosure of mutant species can obtain the qualifications to join the Seven Golden Cities and live in that rich place full of gold and silver.

But for Captain Hausen, such unfounded rumors are irrelevant to the story.

The Lost Zone gave the Idar people the impression that it was a large number of city-states that were not closely connected, and it was a vast land of no owner.

In Captain Howson's view, although the existence of mutant species is a bit of a headache, in a sense...this is actually quite good news.

At least…

It is for this reason that when the Idars first set foot on this land, they did not suffer too much resentment and hostility from the local forces.

As for the pioneering actions that the Idars may carry out in the future, they will not encounter too many obstacles.

After all... on this land, the city-state's territory only includes the city-state itself, and the rest of the land is occupied by mutant species.

If the Idars build towns and delimit territories here, they only need to put more energy on the mutant species that wander around, it will be enough.

Although the Principality of Idar is far away from the abandoned place, and when he first went out to sea, Captain Hausen had doubts about plans for overseas expansion, but...

After coming here, Captain Hausen was extremely surprised...This piece of land, which was called the "Land of Forgotten Land" by the Duke of his own, does possess a large amount of extremely rich natural resources.

In addition to the common gold, silver, copper and iron, the rest of the minerals are countless.

For example, when Salazar fell into the water, the token that the Idars found from Salazar was made of mithril.

You know, for the Principality of Idar, Mithril, a special metal that is widely used in magical equipment, is enough to be regarded as a precious resource of strategic level!

so…

During the time they came to this land, in addition to gathering information about this continent, the Idars also began to try to trade with the local indigenous (Padilla city-state) residents.

Even a very ordinary can of canned vegetables can be exchanged for precious minerals from the hands of local residents.

"that…"

Salazar hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Master Howson, I heard someone say...Are you planning to leave here?"

Hearing this, Captain Howson did not deny, but nodded affirmatively:

"At the moment we have been stationed here for more than half a month, and we have basically figured out the situation of this land. It should be time for us to return to our lives."

After getting a positive answer from Captain Howson, Salazar couldn't help but look a little nervous:

"Then you will come back?!"

after all…

In these days as a guide for the Idars, Salazar has become more and more admired for the powerful military power possessed by the Idars.

In addition to hunting down a lot of mutant species when they first landed, the Idars even took the initiative to annihilate a mutant race group that was originally entrenched in the forest near the city-state!

Although the purpose of the Idars is to catch a few mutant species and bring them back for research, and to understand the living habits and fighting habits of the mutant species, but...

For the simple residents living in the city-state of Padilla, this is undoubtedly a great thing!

Moreover, because the strength of the Idars is so terrifying, even Salazar, who serves the Idars, is respected by the local residents.

Respect the strong!

In this land plagued by the invasion of mutants, powerful forces often have many privileges and can be respected by more people.

The Idars who can travel across oceans are undoubtedly the strongest among the local indigenous people.

So, at least for Salazar himself, he absolutely does not want the Idars to leave like this.

The people on this continent did not have the intrigue in the Norman Empire. Under the threat of mutant species, the contradictions between people and city-states basically only have one purpose, and that is to compete for limited survival resources.

So far, the Idars have not shown an aggressive side, and transactions with local residents have also benefited Padilla city-state.

Therefore, in addition to curiosity, the local indigenous people still hold great respect for these Idars from overseas.

"Of course I will come back..."

Captain Hausen nodded naturally: "In addition...I plan to take a few local residents to the Duchy of Idar to meet our ruler, the great Duke Bruno of Idar."

"Go... to the Principality of Idar? Is it on the other side of the sea?"

Hearing this, Salazar moved in his heart and couldn't help saying: "Look... can I?"

"you?"

Captain Howson turned his head with a smile, and looked up and down towards Salazar: "What we need is a messenger who can make decisions on behalf of the Padilla city-state, but..."

Captain Hausen paused, and then continued: "As the first guide hired by the Idars, and the first drowning man the Idars saw when they came to this land, you do have the right to go. The qualifications of the Principality of Idar."

Although he has been stationed on this land for more than half a month, UU read www.uukanshu.com, but Captain Howson also knows clearly that his familiarity with this continent is definitely not better than Salazar. Of the indigenous people living in this land for generations.

In his opinion, it is not enough to walk the route by himself and to find out the news of the lost place. He has to take a few people back to successfully complete the task assigned by the Lord Duke.

For example, only by bringing the living mutants back, the mages and scholars of the Duchy of Idar can conduct further research; only by bringing back the messengers of the Padilla city-state can the duke be more considerate. Choice.

after all…

This is directly related to the development plan of the Principality of Idar for the Lost Lands!

"Then I will go and ask the elders for instructions! Presumably they will also agree to my request!"

Salazar said eagerly.

Hearing this, Captain Hausen thought for a moment, and then nodded: "No more than five places at most!"
