Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

People can't understand what country means, but hometown and hometown are something that everyone can understand.

Especially for those who have left their hometown, suffered hardships outside, and suffered from cold reception, no one mentions it. If someone mentions the old things in their hometown, it is difficult not to resonate, and it is difficult not to miss the people who ran when they were children. world.

Newing Town is a small port town. Because it is adjacent to the Barcelo River, this town has a fairly developed water transportation. Boats from Newing Town can not only go directly to the territory of the Earl Otis next door, but also Down the river to the Norsk Federation.

Before the railway in Inadal City was completed, people who needed to go to the capital had to go to Newing Town to take a boat—of course, the current Newing Town also has boats going to the royal capital on the upper reaches of the Barcelo River every year. Although the water transport is not as fast as the magic steam train, at least the shipping cost will be very cheap.

If there is any disadvantage in relying on water for food, it is probably caused by floods in the spring and summer every year... Due to the lack of water conservancy facilities, when the water level of the Barcelo River rises in the spring and summer, Newing Town near the river bank The land has to be soaked in water, and even the houses in the town are inevitably submerged.

The site chosen for the construction of the city of Innad was on a plain more than a dozen kilometers away from the section of the Barcelo River that runs through the territory of Innad, to a large extent to avoid the annual flooding of the river—although this would lead to It is more troublesome for the city to obtain water sources, and it is necessary to build an artificial river to bring the river water to the city, but it is better than being plagued by floods every year like Newing Town.

This issue of the Inadrian Weekly appeared in a streetside bookstore in Newing Town on the day after it was issued. Because the heroes published in the newspaper had a deep connection with Newing Town, "Legend of Susan" was very With an incredible speed, it spread among the people of Newing Town, where the illiteracy rate is as high as [-]%.

When the Vio Shipping Company, which belongs to a certain baron’s private property, was loading goods at the dock that day, some literate locals in Newing Town held newspapers and happily told the dock workers about how they lived more than 200 years ago when they were resting at noon. Heroic characters appearing in the town.

The employees of Vio Shipping Company are all locals of Newing Town. For the sailors who have been traveling on the Otis Territory route all year round, having legendary heroes in their hometown is something that can make them proud, even if they are not at all. I don’t know anyone from the Ken Radisson family—it’s normal for civilians’ surnames to be interrupted. After all, not all civilian men can successfully marry wives and have children.

After a lively discussion all afternoon about the legendary hero Susan, the resting sailors continued to load the cargo, filling the cabin with the goods that the owner’s family wanted to transport to Earl of Otis for sale before and after the winter sacrifice. , weighed anchor and set off.

The Barcelo River does not freeze over in winter, so the shipping company will not go out of business.

Two days later, Vio's fleet docked at Moses Port, the dock city within the Earl of Odis' territory, and the Inadrian Weekly, which published "Legend of Susan", was also brought over by the sailors...

The frequency of circulation of local newspapers between different territories is not high. After all, most of these local newspapers publish local anecdotes, and outsiders will not be very interested. If these crew members did not bring the newspapers over, then according to At the normal "flow speed", it may take a month or two before the big news published in the Inadoli Weekly will be known to the people of Odis County.

Of course, since the second daughter and third son of Earl Otis's family are visiting Inadeli, perhaps this newspaper will circulate faster than the previous weekly newspaper...but it will take half a month.

The port city, which is close in size to Innatrix City, is not as closed as Innatrix City. There are many foreigners living in the neighborhood near the port, and many of them are brought from Innatrix to visit relatives and study. ,employees.

Sapir, who worked as a bartender in the sailor's bar on the pier, heard about the "Legend of Susan" published in the newspaper the day after the arrival of the sailors of Vio's ship.

Sapir was shocked at first by the fact that there was a legendary hero in Innadrite, but after learning the details of the "Legend of Susan", the most shocking thing for the man in his early thirties was: "Innadrie is really everywhere. Are they all undead? Those who came to visit relatives didn’t brag??”

The Earl of Odis is much richer than the Innadrie, and many Innadrie women married to Moses Port, and Sapir's mother was married from Innadrie.

After the catastrophe happened in Inadoli, the people who came to Moses Port to visit their relatives did not hide the fact that the new Lord Inadali had an army of undead undead that was invincible, but... From the point of view of the people of Moses Hong Kong, the inexperienced Inadili bumpkin seemed to be talking nonsense instead of telling the truth.

There are often spellcasters passing by Moses Port, and it is not uncommon to see black magicians who ride undead lizards or undead horses to swagger through the city. At most, those black magicians summon a few undead servants to do some trivial things, but I have never heard of any black magicians who are Relying on the army of the undead to fight - those bones that can be pushed down can't even beat stronger men!

The sailors and crew members who drank some wine were unguarded, and immediately refuted the bartender: "Do you think the undead of Inadoli are the undead outside? It's not the same thing, those undead are not the same , even the Guardian Knights of the Church of the Sun were defeated by them!"

"That's right, those are the undead from Tarantan! I heard that they helped the Church of Gold Coins deal with all the backlog of weird incidents, and even the terrible red-walled farm outside Newing Town was solved by those undead!"

"When the boatswain and I went to the city to do errands, we saw the paintings left by the undead of Tarantan on the inner city wall. Those paintings looked like there were living things stuck on the wall!"

"I have seen those undead with my own eyes. They are all wearing sophisticated armor and holding brand-new weapons. They look more majestic than the previous city defense army!"

...In front of outsiders, it is impossible for the sailors to say that they are actually very afraid of those undead who are full of Nadir, and when they enter the city, they will run away when they encounter a long distance...

The bartender Sapir was dumbfounded as he listened to the sailors bragging about how awesome the undead were. When the sailors and crew were called to work by their ship boss, he hurriedly handed over the work to his colleagues and left the dock in a hurry.

Soon, the bartender hurriedly appeared in front of a townhouse in a civilian neighborhood.

Like the townhouses in Innatrix, the townhouses in Port of Moses are also the kind of shared housing where the same house will be rented to multiple families, and the urban construction of Port of Moses is more decent than that of Innatrix Relationship, most of these apartments have gas pipes to the house, and most people have electric lights.

Sapir knocked on the door of one of the residents a few times, and the haggard hostess opened the door. Sapir took off his hat, nodded, and squeezed through the door.

After closing the door with his backhand, Sapir asked with concern, "Lisa, how is Joey doing?"

The hostess Lisa lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and shook her head wearily.

Sapir passed the hostess Lisa, walked to the inner room familiarly, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The light in the room with the curtains drawn in broad daylight was very dim, but the host Joey, who was lying quietly on the bed, could see that his face was very pale even under such dim light.

Sapir walked quickly to Joey's bed, bent down, and touched his brother's cheek distressedly.

It wasn't cold in the room, the kerosene-burning stove provided sufficient heat, but Sapir's brother Joey was still icy cold, if it wasn't for the fact that he could still feel his breath, see his open eyes, touch him It will make people feel as if they are touching a corpse.

Not only was his body temperature extremely low, but Joey’s reaction was also very slow. It took Sapir a while to enter the room before the man lying weakly on the bed struggled to focus his attention on his younger brother. His lips trembled, but he had no strength to say anything. sound.

Sapir's heart is broken, and no one will believe it - his brother Joey, who went to work normally ten days ago, came back one night and said to his wife Lisa that he felt very sad. Tired and cold, I slept in bed all night, and then I became like this.

Leaving the room lightly, Sapir took another deep breath, made up his mind, and said to Lisa: "Pack up your things, Lisa, let's go to Innatrix, the church there may have a way to save Joey."

"The churches in Port Moses are helpless, so what's the use of going to Inadali?" Lisa said in frustration.

In the past ten days, they tried many ways to save Joey. Lisa sold her gold jewelry to buy alchemy potions, and went to church to ask for holy water, but none of them could restore Joey's vitality.

Under Lisa's crying and pleading, the pastor of the Gold Coin Church in Port Moses told her the truth. Joey probably touched something untouchable, or read a book on occultism that he shouldn't read. They are also quite troubled by the unknown curse - there are as many hidden sects as there are stars, and it is very troublesome to tell which secret sect Joey is involved in, let alone expel him from the curse?

If it weren't for the fact that Lisa, the wife, was not infected, and the church judged that Joey's curse would not be passed on to others, then it would be impossible for Joey to wait for death quietly at home, and he would have been taken away by the church people long ago.

"I'm not sure, but... since the church of Inadrian can solve all the strange events with the help of the undead, maybe they can also save Joey?" Sapir hesitated and decided to tell the truth .

Lisa was taken aback: "What are you talking about, Sapir, what undead?"

Sapir immediately repeated what the crew and sailors of Vio's ship were bragging about in the bar, and tried to persuade: "Anyway, we have no other way, Lisa, since those undead from Tarantan are with other The undead servants summoned by the black magician are so different, they even know how to paint and bring back the lost spirits for Inadoli, so maybe they really have a way to save Joey?"

Lisa is a native of Port Moses. She has seen many strange people and strange things in this prosperous port city in the forefront of the Rhine Kingdom. When she was very young, she was carried by her father to the free market to watch the mercenary group drag Rare monsters for sale.

Although it is hard to believe that the undead servant who is stupider than the orc slave can save her husband, Lisa has no choice but to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and gritted her teeth: "Okay... I will borrow some money from my mother." .”
