Chapter 124 Bristol City(1/2)
Bristol City, the largest commercial city in the Northland, has gradually replaced the original Nagesh City in the past century and has become the most dazzling pearl in the Northland.
As the most prosperous city in the North, the entire city of Bristol is far less majestic than Nagesh City. Instead, it has a more tolerant and open atmosphere. Thanks to the business strategy of the ruling family, those furs from the north come from
Seafood from the Broken Islands, handicrafts from the Jinhui Business Empire, and magic materials from the Elf Green Forest were all transported here by caravans traveling thousands of miles away.
The arrival of a large number of caravans made this pearl of the North even more dazzling and prosperous.
In order to protect the astonishing wealth created by this city, the ruling family of Bristol, together with other major families, armed this commercial city through their own channels and approaches.
The city wall, which is more than 20 meters high, is made of large blocks of obsidian. Every ten meters of the city wall, a protruding lookout tower is arranged. With these lookout towers, the entire city wall has become one by one.
Bastions can provide the defenders with considerable advantages when defending a city.
With the help of a large amount of money, the moat outside the city not only connected the rivers passing through the city, but was also widened to fifty meters. There were a large number of crocodiles in the river to defend the city, and even water elements could occasionally be seen.
figure.
It is not easy to capture such a strong city. Without hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding the city, it is impossible to capture it.
What's more, Bristol City also has its own exclusive mage group, and the more than 30-meter-high mage tower in the city is a strategic deterrent.
With such a strong defensive force, it is no wonder that the Orc Empire did not choose Bristol City as the main breakthrough point for its offensive in recent decades when it went south.
The orcs are not stupid, they know that persimmons need to be picked softly.
With strong military strength as support, merchants have more confidence in the city of Bristol, and commercial activities here become more and more prosperous.
The Grand Duke of Northland and the Royal Family of the Golden Eagle Empire are extremely satisfied with the ruling family of Bristol City just by relying on tax revenue every year.
Looking at the majestic fortified city lying in front of them like a giant beast, players like Yu Yu couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and each one of them couldn't help but let out a sound of exclamation.
Although the country of China is developing at a rapid pace, and they have not seen Yu Yu before in big and super metropolises, and most of them even live and work in them, the shock and impact brought to them by this ancient city with a wild atmosphere is still
Quite big.
"This is the territory I imagined."
While paying the city entry tax for several people at the tax collector, Alexander turned to sigh to Bob, his butler who had just been appointed a few days ago.
"Lord, the Emerald Leader will have such a day."
Bob said with a smile from the side.
Bob was very grateful to the Alexander lord who rescued him from the slave pile.
Hope drooled as he looked at the two groups of soldiers guarding the city gate.
The equipment on these guys is really eye-catching.
With the faint light emitting from the equipment, a guy like Hope who is obsessed with martial arts can tell at a glance that these equipment are high-end products that have been refined at least twice!
Damn it, the equipment worn by an ordinary gatekeeper is better than mine!
Hope, who felt sour in his heart, looked at the snake demon sword in his hand and felt a little comfort at least.
When the players discovered this, everyone's eyes were red, and they wanted to take these equipment off the opponent's body and put them on themselves.
Grandma, it’s so enviable and jealous!
"Okay, put your harrassers away, we are going into the city!"
Alexander was speechless about the performance of the players and Hope.
Do you really think Bristol City’s defense is made of paper?
As long as these guys dare to take action, within a quarter of an hour, they will be surrounded by swarming troops!
Under the unkind eyes of the guards, Alexander led everyone into the city following the flow of people.
"Captain, do you want to send someone to monitor these guys? Their vision is too bold!"
One of the guards guarding the city said angrily.
The guard captain thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"Ignore them! They are just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Don't take it to heart! Just do your own thing!"
…………
As a steward, Bob is very familiar with Bristol City.
At his suggestion, Alexander chose a tavern called "Triangle Maple" as a temporary place to stay.
There are still about three days before the auction starts, but Alexander is not planning to wander around. He has a limited number of Golden Eagle coins in his pocket and cannot spend them casually.
However, those players...
Alexander thought for a while and called Bob over.
"Bob, you are familiar with this place, so take the chosen ones to broaden their horizons, but you must come back before dark."
"Okay, Lord."
Bob respectfully stepped back.
"We are free to explore the new map?"
Players who received this news from Bob Butler felt that the surprise came too quickly.
Is this the benefit of hidden tasks? I love it!
"Well...respected chosen ones, the lord asked me to take you around, just for a walk."
At the same time, a system prompt box appeared in front of the players.
After reading the system prompts, everyone became even more excited.
"Playing as a new traveler to Bristol City?"
"Role playing, I like it!"
"Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Yu Yu's words immediately calmed down the players.
Yes, we are unfamiliar with this place, where should we go?
We only have a few hours this afternoon, so we can’t waste any time!
"How about we go shopping in the business district?"
After thinking about it, Fox made the first suggestion.
Woman...
Although the other three people complained a little in their hearts, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
I have to admit, this is indeed a good idea.
"Chosen ones, do you have a lot of golden eagle coins?"
Bob hesitated for a moment, and finally asked. As a commercial city, Bristol's prices are second to none in the entire Northland.
When Butler Bob said this, everyone was stunned.
Do I need Golden Eagle coins to spend here?
"Grandpa Bob, can't you contribute a little?"
Bob still had a good impression of Fox, a polite little Chosen girl. He smiled and shook his head and explained: "Miss Fox, it's not possible. The contribution point is just a stopgap when our Emerald Territory does not mint Golden Eagle coins. Plan, when Lord Suso gets the coin mold, Obustenberg will start to mint the golden eagle coins."
"Let's put our Golden Eagle coins together, see how many we have, and then consider what to buy," Lu Yu said.
That was all we could do now. Everyone looked at each other and took out the golden eagle coins that they had saved for a long time from their pockets.
Everyone gathered together and found that there were more than six hundred pieces.
"Butler Bob, do you know where the secret shop is in Bristol? I want one that is cost-effective."
Lu Yu thought for a moment and asked Bob.
As a human spirit, Bob immediately understood what Lu Yu meant and gave him a thumbs up.
"Wise choice, Lord Felix."
…………
The secret shop, a shop that specializes in selling magic props, is actually not very eye-catching.
The mages who are the bosses are all guys who like to stay at home and do research, and don't like to communicate with ordinary people. Even other professionals only see them very rarely.
Compared with other people, mages prefer to deal with succubus and the like.
It is helpful for the study of magic. Otherwise, how do you think the evil uses of magic such as enlargement, shrinkage, grease, and Ava's black tentacles spread?
Bob led the players to an inconspicuous alley with familiar routes, and found a shop with a low facade at the end of the alley.
"That's it right here. I hope my memory is correct, old man."
With a touch of nostalgia and sigh in his eyes, Bob straightened his clothes first, and then gently opened the door.
Contrary to all players' expectations, the space behind this short wooden door is indeed surprisingly large, approximately more than two hundred square meters.
There are dozens of counters placed against the wall, with some magic scrolls and enchanted equipment scattered here and there, but there are very few customers inside.
