Chapter 33 Entry
Since Duanmu Huai has not yet unlocked the [Tribunal Library], there is no way to analyze the [Antimatter Energy Core], so he first sent the [Antimatter Energy Core] back to the core cabin warehouse through a transmission beacon. After all, there is always It's impossible to run away with such a thing.
Although there is no problem with the technology of the Ancient Sage, it is the core of energy. Once it explodes, the consequences will be much more dangerous than a nuclear power plant leak. There have even been cases where a player's shrewdness caused the destruction of a galaxy. Although the [Antimatter Energy Core] is not as dangerous as the [Dark Matter Energy Core], once it explodes... well, with Duanmu Huai's current small body of level 22, it is probably the result of being wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing.
The dwarves didn't know what Duanmuhuai got, but they didn't care. The dwarves were naturally upright. Duanmu Huai took the lead in the battle, attracting most of the enemy's attention, and also killed the rat hero. To the dwarves, this was a big man who could handle anything, and he would really do it if anything happened!
Naturally everything went smoothly next. Not only did the dwarves agree to let Duanmuhuai and his party cross the Gray Mountains to Bretonnia, they even replenished them with a large amount of supplies and sent a carriage. Bullock also patted Duanmuhuai's calf (he couldn't even pat his knees) and loudly expressed that he was the dwarves' eternal friend, and gave him a token so that Duanmuhuai could enter and exit the Gray Mountains at will.
In fact, according to Bullock's idea, he planned to give Duanmu Huai a weapon. Dwarves have always given weapons to their friends to express their friendship. For example, one of the first emperors of the empire once formed a deep friendship with the dwarves and received a warhammer from the dwarf king at that time. This was also The symbol of the alliance between humans and dwarves.
Unfortunately, Duanmu Huai grew too exaggeratedly, and the weapons built by the dwarves looked like toys in his hands, so in the end Bullock had to give up the idea.
From Bullock, Duanmuhuai also received some information from the outside world.
The empire is still in chaos, with the three emperors fighting fiercely, while other places are trembling in front of the army of believers of the god of violence and filth. The dwarves did not receive a request for help from the empire's allies - well, that's not surprising, after all, the emperor has not yet been decided.
As for Bretonnia, there is no crisis. Bretonnia is generally a peaceful country, and the biggest threat is the green-skinned orcs in the north.
But Bullock pointed out another threat to Duanmu Huai.
"Be careful of those skinny wood elves in Athel Loren! They are very dangerous!"
"Don't worry, I understand."
After hearing Bullock's warning, Duanmuhuai nodded seriously. As a veteran player, he certainly knew that Bullock did not say this simply out of the hatred between dwarves and elves.
In fact, at the beginning, the dwarves and elves were quite friendly, but later various problems arose. The two sides fought and reconciled, but some troubles also appeared during this process.
Wood elves are one of them. These wood elves were originally members of the high elves. They joined the high elves' army during the Great Crusade and came to fight the dwarves. However, halfway through the battle, the high elves' home was invaded by the evil god of chaos. The high elves were also frightened and demanded that the expeditionary force immediately return to the court to protect them.
At that time, some high elves in the expedition were not happy to hear this. You drove me from the island here for the expedition, and now you stopped fighting in the middle and said you were going back? I don’t want to lose face?
So this group of elves broke away from the large army and sneaked into the forest, eventually becoming the wood elves, a branch of the high elves.
Of course, this also involves a legend. It is said that the high elves were attacked by the Chaos Demon a long time ago. At that time, the queen of the high elves asked the soul of the forest to save her two children. The latter said that it is okay to save your children, but in the future Half of your people must belong to me - according to this story, the wood elves are actually paying off the debt to the original high elf queen.
Forget it, it's not important.
What matters is the danger of wood elves.
The Wood Elves are a group of pure "extreme environmentalists". This kind of "environmentalism" does not refer to weak behavior such as flying to speak nonsense in front of heads of state, or holding up protest plaques to stop construction. They would roam the forest and kill anyone who dared to come too close to the forest, then pull their bodies back and bury them under the trees as fertilizer.
Did you see it? What is extreme environmentalism? (Tactical fallback).
Not only that, the wood elves will also capture and capture human children who are lost and wandering around the forest, and then brainwash them into loyal slaves to serve themselves. In addition, they will also use other means to lure each other to the bait - such as a group of adventurers entering the forest, they will be welcomed by the beautiful wood elves, attend their banquets, and listen to the beautiful songs of the wood elves. , enjoy fine wine and food.
Then after he fell asleep, he was dragged away by the wood elves and used as fertilizer.
So although Wood Elves are not followers of Chaos, they are equally dangerous to humans. That's why Bullock specifically warned Duanmuhuai to prevent him from falling into the other party's trap.
Duanmuhuai also has great trust in the dwarves, because among all the races on the novice planet, the dwarves are the only two races with the highest resistance to chaos. To be honest, if you want to fight against chaos, it is safest to leave your back to them. After all, the dwarves were a race created by the Ancient Sages to resist the threat of Chaos. They had full Chaos resistance. However, the Ancient Sages later found that the dwarves were too rule-abiding and stubborn, so they gave up on them and finally created a race that was not only powerful but also stubborn. Chaos resistance is maxed out, and he is also capable of both magic and martial arts. He has super reproductive ability and can fight against the best vanguard species of Chaos.
Um? Someone may ask, what is this species?
Oh, ogre.
Duanmu Huai would go to them to establish relations only if his brain was lame.
Have you ever seen a platter of chicken on the dining table that looks as close as yours?
Rabbits are so cute, wouldn’t they taste better with spicy food?
"Huh... I'm finally liberated...!!"
After crossing the gray mountains and arriving at the land of Bretonnia, the elf scout was the first to jump up. She raised her hands high and stretched, not caring at all that her graceful figure was exposed. Not only that, even the old knights, Alyssa and Ms. Christine all showed relaxed expressions at this moment.
It's no wonder that since the City of Silver, everyone has been in danger. First he was chased by corrupt believers, and then he stepped into the land of death. Although Duanmu Huai was very "evil-proof", no one encountered any threats, but the land where undead were rampant was not good for everyone's mental health. benefit. On the dwarf's territory, everyone was relieved, but still a little uneasy.
It was only now that we stepped into the land of Bretonnia that everyone felt truly relieved.
At least this is the country protected by the Lady of the Lake, and there aren't too many troubles.
The reason why everyone has this view is because although the country of Bretonnia is not big, it still has a very good reputation on the mainland. It is basically an idyllic oasis. The nobles here follow the chivalry and uphold the virtues of chivalry. The country is stable and peaceful. It can be said to be a paradise on earth... Of course, in the eyes of players, this is somewhat ironic.
Indeed, none of the above are lies.
But there is a premise - except for farmers.
From the player's perspective, being a farmer in Bretonton is worse than being a lackey for the followers of the evil god.
Such as taxes.
Almost no one knows about the famous tithe. Most countries on this planet also collect tithes in proportion. Simply put, one-tenth of the harvest is paid to the country.
But in Bretonnia, what farmers face is not tithes, but tithes - nine-tenths of the harvest is paid to the state, and only 10% can be kept for themselves.
Good guy, Huang Shiren calls him an expert.
Not only that, during wartime, farmers will be organized into armies to fight on the front lines. To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder. In other words, in Bretonnia, farmers not only have the lowest status and are squeezed, they are even sent to death by those noble knights. It can be said that even the bones are squeezed out of oil.
Therefore, many players find this ironic, and many players have criticized Bretonnia's hypocrisy on the forum. After all, those knight masters shouted the virtues of chivalry while asking the people they swore to protect to come forward and die. It felt very darkly humorous.
But in Duanmuhuai's view, this is actually normal.
After all, that's what history is.
Take the Roman Republic as an example. Citizens could still elect leaders, but slaves were only worthy of being entertained in the arena.
The Western Zhou Dynasty also allowed the princes to elect co-leaders, but the peasants outside the city walls were only obliged to pay taxes, but had no rights at all.
In modern times, when those British gentlemen wearing tuxedos and mustaches smoked pipes and drank champagne, they definitely did not care about the lives of serfs in colonies thousands of miles away.
Otherwise, how could the British Empire's fleet be established? Instead of relying on colonies and slave trade, could it be that modifiers generate resources out of thin air? Aren't those gentlemen who look so arrogant on warships, full of gentlemanly demeanor and naval spirit supported by serfs?
But this does not prevent them from shouting "for Britain" and die heroically in battle, right?
Therefore, a country like Bretonnia that seems a bit absurd to modern people is actually not surprising if you think about it carefully.
For example, when Western movies praise cowboys for defeating Indian tribes that attack their towns, don't forget that it was these white men who first came to the Indian lands to burn, kill, and plunder.
Movies that promote Caesar will not tell how many slaves he squeezed in exchange for everything he had.
In the final analysis, showing off requires money, and a medieval civilization-level knight country like Bretonnia is no exception.
Besides, the level of civilization in the Middle Ages...that's about it.
Of course, Alyssa and the others did not come here all the way to be farmers. They plan to go to Carcassonne, live there, and do some small business to make a living—well, being a merchant is also a good choice in Bretonnia.
Just don't be a farmer.
I have to say that walking on the country roads of Bretonnia is indeed relaxing. Next to it are lush trees and grass, with birds singing and small animals running around. I have to say that it looks like this place. It is indeed like a paradise on earth - especially after experiencing the curse of filth and the wilderness full of death.
But soon, they encountered some small accidents.
