Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

Chaos, chaos.

"What did you say yesterday? Let's leave the ruins of the ancestors and talk about buying a ticket today."

"I should have known that I wouldn't come out yesterday even if I was killed."

"If we die, we must die in the ruins of our ancestors."

Those students were also crying, their beautiful dormitory, do you know how much they like it? They wiped their dormitory clean with animal skins every day, opened the windows every day, sat at the desk to practice calligraphy, and watched The golden rice fields outside the window...

It was a life they had never experienced before, a life they had never imagined before.

But now, everything is back to the past. Don't look at the beautiful knitted clothes they are wearing, but they know that once they leave the City of Glory, the outside environment will not allow them to wear such beautiful and clean clothes. It doesn't take a day or two. This suit can become dirtier than the hides they wipe the floor with.

They also don’t have clean beds to sleep in, and they will have to sleep on the grass to eat the wind and sleep in the open, or live in a dark, damp cave with little light like before, and they can no longer open the window every morning to feel the wonderful air. I'm about to live a life like a savage before.

Yes, it's a life like a savage, that's what the students in Beihuang said. They were not convinced at first, but after they got used to the life in the city, looking at their previous life, they were not like savages.

If it was before, they were used to that kind of life, and there was nothing to say, but it is different now, they can no longer go back to the past.

Under the city wall, angry voices and cries mixed together.

"Speaking does not count, we are not allowed to enter the ruins of our ancestors, and the children of our tribe are not allowed to learn writing."

Shutao didn't stop him either, letting these people vent, the atmosphere can be contagious, so everyone's emotions are getting higher and higher, and it seems that some grumpy people will start to attack.

Only then did Shutao secretly wink at the person next to her.

The people from the Huashu Ancient Clan next to them nodded, and slipped away amidst angrily cursing.

Now everyone is full of anger, who cares about such a small person leaving.

Just when he couldn't bear it anymore, the ring of magic power on his body began to flicker.

At this time, "Whoosh..."

Suddenly there was a cracking sound in the air.

Out of fighting instinct, everyone stopped their voices.

Then they saw shadows flying over their heads.

"呲" Something pierced into the thick city wall.

Taking a closer look, I saw stone guns with trembling tails stuck on the majestic city wall, densely packed.

"No, it's not a stone spear."

Someone suddenly exclaimed and took a closer look, "Isn't this the bronze gun from the Eastern Region?"

Silent.

This is a naked provocation and a declaration of war.

Shutao sighed in silence, "It's not that we don't want to let you go to the city, it's not that we don't want your children to continue learning characters, it's because the Eastern Region doesn't allow it!"

The powerful, simple sentence shifted the current spearhead in one direction and redirected all the anger.

On the city wall, Ling Qi and the others looked at the bronze gun inserted into the wall, their faces felt a little pained, and there were a few more holes in their city wall, so they couldn't help but look at Luo Zhan.

Luo Zhan said, "Only in this way can they see the crisis in my City of Glory and convince them of our last resort."

Anyway, the bronze gun is a specialty of the Eastern Region, and other people don't have it.

Under the city wall, looking at those men with bronze guns, there was indeed no sound.

The city has been attacked to the gate, how can I have the obligation to take them to see the relics of their ancestors, how can I have the obligation to teach the children of their tribe to write, even if I am myself, I am afraid I have to ask, why?

The City of Glory is imminent, and it may be doomed.

So it seems that their questioning and scolding just now are somewhat unreasonable.

But they are not reconciled. The children of their tribe were good at learning characters. I heard that they all started to learn to write letters like the children of the Northern Wilderness. They even secretly read and touched the letters written by the children of their tribe. , looking at the ancestral text above, the whole heart is trembling.

But the things that were ecstatic at first just disappeared.

What's more, there are 780 ear chambers in the ruins of the ancestors, which circled the entire underground of the City of Glory, but they only finished the first ear chamber. It doesn't even count as the beginning, so it's over?

Shutao was still saying, "Don't worry, everyone, when we drive out the people from the Eastern Region, we will still open up the ruins of our ancestors, and let the children of your tribe go to the city to learn writing."

But no one spoke, because they felt that even with this majestic city wall, it shouldn't be able to stop people from the Eastern Region.

It is very likely that the Northern Wilderness will not be able to hold on.

Someone couldn't help asking, "If we don't keep it, what should we do?"

Shutao took a look, "Then all you have to do is discuss with the people in the Eastern Territory, see if they let you enter the city, let you see the ruins of your ancestors, and teach you writing."

There was a dead silence.

Shutao didn't care, and said as before, "What we can promise is that as long as the City of Glory is in our hands, the City of Glory will be an open city."

"Damn it." I don't know who cursed angrily, "People in the Eastern Region can't calm down a little bit."

Totally forgot, they were also one of the people he kept talking about in the first place.

Shutao said, "The glory of the ancestors belongs to everyone, and belongs to the common glory of our human race. There is no need to hide it privately. This is the attitude of my City of Glory all along."

"We are now also forced to close the gate of the city due to helplessness."

Shutao pointed to the bronze gun stuck on the city wall, "At any time, the Eastern Territory may call, we have to be prepared, so I hope everyone can understand."

Everyone: "..."

The enemy is about to attack, and they really have no reason to ask others to open the door.

They understand the current behavior of the people in the Northern Wilderness, but who will understand them?

What to do with the anger that has lost everything in their hearts?

The people in the Northern Wilderness were justified, and shared the ruins of their ancestors, and taught them tribal children to write. They are not easy to get angry, but the anger in their hearts can also make them feel like a fire.

"Damn the Eastern Territory, what was supposed to be a good thing has come to destroy it."

"They don't want to see us well, just like before."

Under the guidance of Shutao, the reputation began to change.

What made them even more anxious was that once the Eastern Region won, the treatment they had enjoyed before would no longer exist.

I felt very aggrieved, and the scolding became louder and louder.

Ever since they lured the overlord of the land to attack the Eastern Territory last time, their relationship with the Eastern Territory has actually become stiff. In order to fear the Eastern Territory's revenge, they stationed the camp far away. The Eastern Territory just doesn't gnash its teeth like it does now.

Shutao looked at these foreigners who wantonly vented their dissatisfaction, and then added a little fuel, "Take the children of your tribe back, I don't know if there is a chance to teach them characters, they just learned the beginning, really Pity."

That is the ancestral script that can frighten the ghosts and gods of the earth.

A group of students were crying so hard that their voices were hoarse.

He hugged the city wall and yelled, "If I don't go, I won't go."

"I still don't know many words, and I am stuttering when I write letters. I still have to stay in the city to study, and I have to pick strawberries with my classmates."

Shutao said earnestly, "When the Eastern Region attacks the city, it doesn't care which region you are from."

It stands to reason that these foreigners must understand what Shutao said. Let the children of their tribe stay in the city, and they will naturally know how dangerous it is when the Eastern Region attacks.

But let them take the child away like this, they are really not reconciled.

So now none of them went forward to pull the children of their tribe out of this dangerous place, but just watched these children hugging the city wall, shaking their heads and crying.

The scene is the same as life and death.

Shutao questioned his soul, "You really don't want to take away the children of your tribe. If the people from the Eastern Territory call, are you going to watch them slaughter the children of your tribe?"

If you don't leave, it means that what Shutao said will happen 100% of the time. If you kill the red-eyed people from the Eastern Region, you won't be able to control which tribe the people in the city belong to.

This sentence made the foreigners in a dilemma.

Because really picking up the children means that they have given up the opportunity to learn the words of their ancestors, and the opportunity to visit the ruins of their ancestors. No matter what they are, they have been pursuing for generations, and they are not allowed to give up in the depths of their souls. s things.

But if they don't pick up the children, will they really watch the children of their tribe be slaughtered together when the Eastern Region attacks the city?

The choice is too difficult.

The most difficult decision in the world is now in front of them, and this is what Luo Zhan wants to see, because Luo Zhan wants to force them to make a decision.

Of course, although the choice is difficult, Luo Zhan has already helped them make a choice.

Shutao continued, "Go and take your children away, we don't have time to take care of them from today on."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull those children who were clinging to the city wall, and he took the initiative to hand over these children to the adults of their tribe.

Those children's thinking is much simpler, and their worries will not be considered as much as adults. They just want to stay in the city and continue to study.

Seeing Shutao reaching out to pull them, she was so frightened that she ran into the city.

They don't want to go out of town.

I don't know why, but the Ancient Sacred Bone Clan guarding the city had no intention of intercepting these students at all.

It stands to reason not to mention these students, even if everyone outside rushes into the city together, they will never pass in front of the warriors of the Ancient Sacred Bone Tribe.

But no one cared about this, and the foreigners breathed a sigh of relief. If Shutao handed someone over to them, they couldn’t have made a choice so quickly whether to accept it or not. After running back to the city, they don't need to make things difficult.

The corner of Shutao's mouth couldn't help but raised. When these children ran to the city, these foreigners didn't stop them. In fact, it was already a default choice.

Shutao still pretended to say, "What should I do?"

Everyone: "..."

That's right, what should I do? It's not that they don't have to worry about it and it's over. The children of their tribe stayed in the city.

Looking at each other, it seems that there is something different from what they imagined. Of course they don't want to give up the opportunity to visit the ruins of the ancestors, and of course they don't want to give up the words of the ancestors, but they never thought about letting the children of their tribe face the Eastern Region together with the people of the Northern Wilderness. .

Shutao added, "How about I have someone catch them?"

And the foreign students who ran into the city had already gone to hide in their classmates' homes, and several of them were hidden in Salmon's place, "You can hide well, and don't be caught back."

Under the city wall, grab it out...

They couldn't agree either.

In a dilemma, when I really didn't know how to choose, at this time, the leader took the lead, followed by Luo Zhan, the ten heroes of the Northern Wilderness, and wise men of various races.

Negative Xie said, "Everyone, I have a plan for the Northern Wilderness. I wonder if the ancient tribes in the West Pole and Southern Border would be interested in listening to it?"

As soon as the burden came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help shrinking.

This man is an eight-ring ferocious beast warrior, and he also possesses the strongest spell on the earth, which is equivalent to a humanoid overlord of the earth.

Facing the two eight-ring beast warriors holding sacred artifacts in the Eastern Region, they still won the victory. With their own strength, they won three months of recuperation for the City of Glory.

That battle has already spread to everyone's ears, and everyone knows the name of the God of War in the Northern Wilderness.

The shadow of the famous tree of people, the opening of the mouth of the negative, attracted everyone's attention, and even had to think seriously.

"The strategy of getting both ends" someone asked the doubts in his heart.

Negative Xie nodded, then looked at Luo Zhan.

Luo Zhan stepped forward, there were not many things that could impress these ancient tribes in the outer domain, but Luo Zhan had it.

Everyone knew a little bit about Luo Zhan from the Li tribe among the eleven tribes in the City of Glory. There were two people in the Li tribe, and they knew it more or less. On an equal footing.

What an unbelievable and ridiculous thing it would be before.

But now they have not questioned, nor can they question, that the writing of their tribal children was taught by Luo Li.

Luo Zhan said, "Have you really seen the glory of your ancestors?"

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, a little confused, but one of them still said proudly, "Of course, I just went to the No. 1 ear room yesterday and saw the traces of ancestors left on the stone. The blue and white porcelain is so beautiful."

"I can even hum a few words about that blue and white porcelain ballad."

I don't know why, humming the blue and white porcelain ballad, it's like being truly bathed in the glory of the ancestors, that nice song seems to have its own sacred power.

Luo Zhan shook his head, "You didn't see it. You said just now that what you saw was only the traces of your ancestors on the stone, just traces."

Everyone frowned.

Luo Zhan continued, "Today I will show you what the true glory of the ancestors is."

After speaking, Luo Zhan closed his eyes and opened them again, a pattern of hexagonal petals appeared in his eyes, and the petals began to rotate.

Many people frowned.

Illusion?

But there are many high-level ferocious beast warriors among these people. Unless Shutao, the hero of the Huashu Ancient Clan, casts illusion on them personally, it is not so easy to immerse them in the illusion.

They still have this confidence and pride.

Luo Zhan said, "Don't panic, I'm just two rings of magic power. I just want you to see what the real glory of the ancestors is like."

Illusion is very peculiar. It is very difficult for fierce beast warriors with two rings of mana like Luo Zhan to get them, but they can actively immerse themselves in it. It is also very simple to break Luo Zhan's illusion. It just needs to shake the spell power in the body.

They can feel Luo Zhan's strength to some extent, just like whether a wild beast is strong or not, as a hunter, they actually know it in their hearts.

A group of people hesitated for a while, but a land hero of the ancient Xiji clan snorted, "I want to see what you are talking about about the glory of the real ancestors."

As the saying goes, people with high skills are bold, and they really can't lose their momentum in front of people from the Northern Wilderness.

Looking into Luo Zhan's eyes, he even took the initiative to control the body's spell power, making it break the illusion instinctively. It's not so easy for a land hero like him to fall into the illusion.

It's just that when he looked into Luo Zhan's eyes, his pupils dilated in shock.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't react. How could it be such a reaction? Even Shutao couldn't make a hero of the earth fall into hallucinations in such a short period of time.

If it wasn't the effect of the illusion itself, then what did he see that made him so surprised?

Luo Zhan said, "This is the real blue and white porcelain."

The things on the fossil, no matter how clear they are, are just some traces. Even if Luo Zhan used the stone tablet to add annotations, so what, it can only be guessed based on imagination.

But Luo Zhan's illusion is different, he can turn blue and white porcelain into 3D.

In the wilderness, even the city of glory built by Luo Zhan is dominated by primary colors, full of rough and primitive beauty.

But the blue and white porcelain is different, brilliant colors, unparalleled beauty, unparalleled appearance, it is beyond the aesthetic level of this world.

The impact of that kind of art that spans centuries is unimaginable.

Perhaps in the heart of this earth hero, he saw something that only the gods could create.

How could there be such a beautiful and exquisite thing in this world, which is just the container of the ancestors.

In Luo Zhan's illusion, several blue and white porcelains of different sizes and shapes are constructed, which are completely different from this primitive world.

For those who have never imagined its existence, how can they look away when they see it.

Because of the shock of his mood, the earth hero automatically broke away from Luo Zhan's illusion, then looked into Luo Zhan's eyes seriously, and entered Luo Zhan's illusion.

Seeing the people around me stunned for a while, so impatient...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something happened, on the contrary, I don't want to get out of the opponent's illusion.

Many people moved their eyes and looked at Luo Zhan's eyes.

The Huashu Ancient Clan is best at large-scale indiscriminate illusions, and Luo Zhan uses their spells, which naturally have such characteristics.

In addition, these people took the initiative to enter Luo Zhan's illusion, so Luo Zhan didn't need to spend too much magic power.

It's just that when they look into Luo Zhan's eyes, they basically have the same expression, unbelievably surprised, and from time to time they leave the illusion because of the shock of their mood, and then quickly re-enter the illusion, not wanting to delay for a moment.

Like a dream, like a dream.

After a while, Luo Zhancai said, "Not only can I let you see the blue and white porcelain, but I can also reproduce the blue and white porcelain."

Everyone didn't know how to describe their current mood.

The blue and white porcelain was too gorgeous to be a human thing, and Luo Zhan's words shocked their souls even more.

Only then did they understand what Luo Zhan said at the beginning, what they saw before was just traces on the stone, but what Luo Zhan showed them now was the real glory of their ancestors.

They bear witness to the true glory of their ancestors.

After waiting for a while, the illusion began to change.

Everyone couldn't help but frown, because they haven't seen enough, there are several blue and white porcelains constructed in Luo Zhan's illusion, and they didn't have time to look at them one by one.

But when he was about to say something, he was blocked abruptly, and the entire pupil dilated infinitely.

What did they see?

Luo Zhan's illusion is not very powerful, because the magic power is not enough, but they think they have seen the most powerful illusion in the world.

Because no illusion can make them so irresistible that they don't want to wake up like they are now.

In my mind, there is a city on water under the sky, which is completely different from the city of glory. It is beautiful, classic, exquisite and elegant, like the most beautiful girl in the world with a veil.

It was a city built on water. The river surrounded a beautiful town that had never been seen before. The lotus leaves and flowers in the river were in full bloom. The boat was swinging with waves, and a girl was picking lotus on the boat.

The beauty of the small bridge and flowing water, the wonder of the ancient town on the water, this is the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, a land of fish and rice and water.

Luo Zhan's voice came like a dream, "This is the glory of the ancestors, the place where the ancestors once lived, I plan to build such a city on water as the outer city outside the city of glory."

"If I, Beihuang, can hold the city, the outer city can be conditionally provided for foreigners to live in."

The sound is like a dream, shocking the soul.

The ancestors of the glorious era actually lived in such a beautiful place...

It is not inferior to the City of Glory at all, it is a different kind of beauty, beautiful to the extreme.

Conditionally provide for foreigners to live in?

In other words, foreigners like them also have the opportunity to live in such an unbelievably beautiful water town?

They must be crazy themselves.

But who can't have sweet dreams?

Someone asked, "You Beihuang can't defend your city, so what should you do?"

Luo Li interjected, "Yeah, it's true that we can't hold Beihuang, but why do you think we want to build such a water town to give you this benefit for no reason?"

Luo Zhan's words are very straightforward, they naturally understand it, if the Northern Wilderness cannot defend the Eastern Region's attack, everything is false, if they want to live in this city on the water, the Northern Wilderness must defend it.

But how to defend the Northern Wilderness alone is definitely not enough, the Eastern Territory is too powerful, and now there is only one way left in front of them.

Everyone: "..."

What an invincible illusion this is. Those who are under the curse have no solution. Even if they know the danger, they can't help but continue to fight.

Shutao couldn't help sighing, he is a land hero of Huashu Ancient Clan, he thinks that no one can surpass him in illusion, but now he has seen the strongest illusion in the world.
