Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

Outside the city wall, because the people from the Eastern Territory promised not to cause trouble within three months, the water sales team organized by Shutao became more courageous.

Large vats of water are sold at the gate of the city from morning to night.

They have to stockpile more meat in case of a rainy day.

While selling water, they chatted with the ancient tribes in the West Pole and the southern border.

"You didn't hesitate to come across the domain, but you ended up living a life where you couldn't even drink water. What do you say you are doing this for?"

The faces of the people in West Pole and Southern Border are not good. Is this to wash them off on purpose?

Why are you here?Isn't it just for the ruins of the ancestors?

Otherwise, they would come all the way to suffer when they were full?

However, after seeing the war between the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness, they are also very worried now.

Whether it is the Eastern Territory or the Northern Wilderness, no matter how you look at it, it is a hard bone to crack. There are eight-ringed beast warriors and holy artifacts in their hands. That bearer has the strongest curse in the world. He and Beihuang are also united as a piece of iron.

Unlike them, each ancient tribe acted independently.

Haven't they thought about being united?

I really thought about it, the heroes of the earth from various ancient tribes also gathered in private.

However, the tribes that have always been selfish, and the tribes that have always been old and dead, want to unite?

Totally impossible.

So they feel a little incredible that the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness can unite as one.

They discussed again and again, but they still couldn't find an opportunity to unite like the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness, so they felt somewhat frustrated.

No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't get any benefits from the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness.

Now being ridiculed by the water sellers in Beihuang, who can't even afford to drink water, it is conceivable how depressed he feels.

The people of Huashu Ancient Clan were still saying, "Actually, what are you fighting for here? It's not worth it to put your own people in danger of being killed at any time. How much hardship did our Ancient Clan have to go through to develop to such a population? ? In the end, don’t let your clansman die in vain and still get no benefit.”

The people who bought the water stopped talking, and they were so angry.

Who wants their own people to die?

But inside this city wall are the ruins of their ancestors, how could they turn a blind eye.

Even if a discerning person sees that the West Pole and the Southern Border are like a piece of loose sand, it is impossible to compete with the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness, but there is no one of the ancient tribes who is willing to leave and withdraw.

I can't bear it, obviously the ruins of the ancestors are right in front of my eyes, within reach.

At this moment, the members of the Ancient Huashu Clan secretly lowered their voices, "I will secretly tell you a secret, but please don't tell anyone else."

"You don't need to fight at all. We, Beihuang, are going to share the ruins of our ancestors. Then everyone can go in and have a look."

"In the past, the major ancient tribes robbed things and hid them in their own tribes. That was too selfish. The glory of the ancestors is the glory of all the tribes on the earth. How could they be so selfish as to hide them?"

The people who heard this were stunned. The first feeling was that the people in Beihuang were stupid, right?Instead of taking the ruins of the ancestors as your own, you want to share them and pay tribute to them together?

Must be out of my mind.

The people of the Huashu Ancient Clan continued, "It's a pity that the people from the Eastern Region insisted on robbing them. Think about it, if they are captured by the people from the Eastern Region, can they allow other people to take a look? Think about their wish City, don’t just hide and pinch it, even if you take a look at it from a distance, it’s like offending them and making a big mistake in the Eastern Territory.”

"Our Northern Wilderness is different. The glory of our ancestors is such a great thing, it will naturally shine on the earth..."

The people who bought the water didn't know how they left in a daze, with ringing in their ears, "Don't tell others."

In fact, they didn't have the heart to listen to this, and ran to their tribe's camp.

Terrible, it seems that something big is going to happen.

They had no hope of winning even a little bit of benefit from the hands of the Eastern Territory and the Northern Wilderness, but now, the people of the Northern Wilderness actually said that they wanted to share the ruins of their ancestors?

Although they still didn't believe it, the news had to be told to the people in the clan no matter what.

On the city wall, Luo Zhan and the ten heroes were all there.

Negative Xi frowned, "Is this method really feasible?"

Luo Zhan nodded, "Giving a little hope to a hopeless person is like giving a jar of water to a thirsty person. Even if they instinctively find it unbelievable, they will have some expectations in their hearts."

"Furthermore, we will give them some more incentives to let them amplify this desire infinitely."

Once people who can't see hope see the dawn, they are also very crazy.

With a little guidance, they will understand that it is the Eastern Territory that blocks their dawn.

the next day.

The person who was going to buy water suddenly found that the person who was originally selling water under the city wall did not come.

"People in the Northern Wilderness don't sell water anymore?"

"I don't know, I used to be here every day."

Some people even opened their voices and shouted into the city, "Hey, is the water seller here? They're out to sell water."

At this time, people from the Huashu Ancient Clan came out, "We're not going to sell water outside today, the stalls are in the city, you can just line up to buy water according to the old rules."

"Don't wander around when you enter the city. If you just go in, you know what the consequences will be if you want to cause trouble. In the city, besides the ancient Huashu clan who sell water, the ancient sacred bone clan who guard, and other ancient clans who patrol They're all there."

Everyone: "..."

Looking at the tunnel like the mouth of a giant beast, do they still feel a little empty?

Go in?

Could it be that he gave himself to the other party, if the people from the Northern Wilderness had any malicious intentions, they would not be able to run away.

But my heart is also a little itchy, what is it like behind the city wall?

The city wall completely blocked the line of sight, and with the eternal guardian curse of the Huashu Ancient Clan, it was impossible to see the inside even from the sky.

They also noticed the words used by the Huashu Ancient Clan just now, city?Is it the same city as the City of Hope in the Eastern Territory?

Behind this high wall is a city?

You have to know how many people did not hesitate to climb mountains and wade through mountains and rivers in order to have a glimpse of the city of hope in the Eastern Territory. Like exuding an irresistible attraction.

And now there is a city in front of them?

The members of the Huashu Ancient Clan seemed to see the concerns of these people, and murmured, "It seems like you are outside the city, standing under our city wall, so we can't do anything to you?"

Everyone: "..."

When they bought water, the other party was very cautious. They bought it under the stone guns of the Ancient Sacred Bone Clan. It seemed that they didn't need to let them enter the city if they really wanted to do anything.

Unknowingly, they have put themselves in such a dangerous situation because of the water, but there is no way, even if the gun is on their necks, they have to follow other people's rules for the water.

Everyone: "..."

It seems that there is no difference between entering the city or not.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the City of Hope in the Eastern Region has never allowed anyone to peep, but now...

In fact, even if this tunnel is really the mouth of some giant beast, but if there is really a city behind this tunnel, they will all be scrambling to climb in.

The city, which has gone through untold hardships and cannot be seen, is now in front of my eyes...

As soon as he gritted his teeth, someone led the team to buy water and started to walk in among the rows of stone guns.

However, they were stopped by people from the Ancient Sacred Bone Tribe, "The water buying teams will enter one by one, and the first one will come out and the next one will enter."

"Don't worry, we have to confirm one by one that you are from the same ancient clan, and that you are not mixed with spies from the Eastern Region."

In fact, this is very easy to identify, one is through the totem, and the other is through the unique spells of each race. Because the companion beasts they raise are of the same type, the spells are basically the same. Totems can be shamelessly impersonated, but unique The unique mantras belonging to each ancient tribe cannot be faked.

This is also to prevent someone from going in to cause chaos and damage. If only a single ancient tribe goes in, then they have to consider the safety of the lives of other people in their tribe.

Although it was a bit troublesome, I still lined up there to buy water. Maybe buying water is not the most important thing now.

"From the Shadow Ancient Clan, are there any hidden people in your shadows? Let's poke a few times with stone spears."

As a result, someone really came out of the shadow.

After the first ancient clan walked in, there was no more, because they didn't come out for a long time.

Those who were still waiting outside couldn't help frowning, "It's just buying water, why is it taking so long?"

"People from the Northern Wilderness, you don't know how to play any tricks, do you?"

"Although we have fallen out with people from the Eastern Region, if you dare to play tricks, we may not help you a little when the Eastern Region attacks you."

In the city, something unexpected happened.

Because the people who bought water should not be able to buy water anymore, the containers in their hands fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

What did they... see!

For them who still live in the damp and dark cave, this wall is another world.

In Luo Zhan's words, it is simply a civilization that has never been seen before.

"Gulu Gulu" sound of swallowing saliva.

Is this the city?

Is this the closest to the glory of the ancestors?

Excited, excited, it is impossible to describe their current feelings.

Not to mention them, even the members of the Northern Wilderness Ten Clan, they can still speak incoherently with excitement anytime, anywhere every day, and they can start to touch the floor on the ground as they walk.

This city is so beautiful.

Charming castles, townhouses, large city squares, clean and flat roads, continuous farmland, and a sky full of white flowers...

They couldn't understand it, but it didn't hinder the shock in their hearts.

It must be a miracle.

No wonder for hundreds of years, the city of hope in the Eastern Region is the most yearned for by the ancient tribes in the land.

What they saw was the glory of their ancestors, as if they were brought back to the glorious age of human beings mentioned in the hadith.

The eyes could no longer move, unable to extricate themselves.

They even involuntarily wanted to move forward, but the stone guns in the hands of the Ancient Sacred Bone Clan were pressed against their chests, looking at them proudly, as if saying that if they dared to take a step forward, they would pierce their chests.

For some reason, these people had tears in their eyes. Today, they saw the glory that belonged to their ancestors.

The thing that has been pursued for generations is right in front of you.

It was a weird scene, but it seemed understandable because they were both chasing glory.

At this time, the people of Huashu Ancient Clan said, "Do you want to get closer and take a look?"

Nodding unconsciously, any face is hypocritical now, they just want to take a closer look.

The people of the Huashu Ancient Clan continued, "Don't worry, our Northern Wilderness is not like the Eastern Region, we don't even allow entry into the city."

"In a few days, we are going to open a market in the city. If you have anything to sell, you can come in and set up a stall. If you have anything to buy, you can also come in and have a look."

"Our city is an open city, a city of business."

"Of course, if you want to come in and buy or sell, you must abide by the rules of our city."

This is indeed what Luo Zhan meant.

From ancient times to the present, any prosperous city cannot be a city with closed gates.

If you want to prosper, lively trade is definitely indispensable.

Only by communicating with each other can we make up for the shortcomings of the city and move forward.

Otherwise, it would just be a gamer's house behind closed doors, and it would never be able to develop into a truly prosperous place.

The current city looks very lively?But in Luo Zhan's view, what is this?Just connected towns for people to live in.

And the people who heard this were already dumbfounded, probably as if they heard some wild night talk.

Not only let them come in to buy water, but also allow them to come in to "stall" in the future?

It is estimated that it means exchanging materials with each other. They used to have the habit of bartering, but the scale is very, very small, and it must be a matter between very friendly tribes.

This place of glory for the ancestors, let them in so easily?

Unbelievable, even incomprehensible.

The people of the Huashu Ancient Clan were still saying, "We are different from the Eastern Territory, we hide everything..."

How the hell is this different?It's literally going in the opposite direction.

Some members of the Huashu Ancient Clan sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that the people of the Eastern Region are staring at it. If it is really snatched by the people of the Eastern Region, it may be another city of hope in the Eastern Region. It's a sin to look at it from a distance."

"..."

Why does it seem that because of the Eastern Territory, they are likely to miss such a glorious place.

And the other party didn't talk nonsense, what would the people of the Eastern Region do, that city of hope is a lesson from the past.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you, our city is called the City of Glory, which is completely different from the City of Hope."

When the people who bought water came out, they were basically driven out with stone guns on their necks, because otherwise they would not want to leave.

They also brought back shocking news one by one. This is the City of Glory, an open city that allows them to enter and barter and is completely different from the City of Hope.

At the same time, there was also a message that if the city was captured by the Eastern Region, such a good thing would have nothing to do with them.

And the person who got the news had a look of disbelief, "How is this possible? They are willing to share this city with us?"

"They even want to turn the ruins of their ancestors into some kind of museum, allowing people from different tribes to visit."

Everyone: "..."

It was unbelievable to the extreme, but what happened to the inner expectations?

They can't win, so this kind of "sharing" in the Northern Wilderness is full of fatal temptation for them.

In any case, it is better than occupying the Eastern Territory as their own and having nothing to do with them.

The ancient tribes in the West Pole and the Southern Border were completely messed up in almost one day.

The impact and repercussions are probably far beyond Luo Zhan's estimation.

Of course, it is impossible for the ancient tribes in the West Pole and Southern Border to do something so simply. They have also seen the incomparable strength of the Eastern Territory.

And Luo Zhan is now organizing people to do three things.

One, repair the market.

It is a long-term plan for the market to communicate with each other, and it is also one of the symbols of the prosperity of a city.

A city without trade is probably no different from a pool of stagnant water.

Second, build dormitories for travelers.

This has to be strictly supervised, because it requires a lot of human supervision, so the price will definitely not be cheap.

Of course, the number of people living in the dormitory every day must be strictly controlled, and it cannot exceed the level that can cause trouble.

The third is to develop the Grand Canyon and build a museum.

One and two are easy to say, the market can be built into a circular corridor, with a road in the middle and stalls on both sides.

There must also be a difference between a dormitory and a house in a small town. The house in a small town is a family, which is naturally convenient and comfortable.

The dormitory mainly has many rooms, small but exquisite.

For the first two, everyone has construction experience. Luo Zhan draws the drawings and supervises them a little bit.

The difficulty is the development of the Grand Canyon.

Luo Zhan and Xiang Xi are already standing at the entrance of the Grand Canyon.

On both sides of the Grand Canyon, there are green ferns on the high walls that cannot be seen.

A member of the ancient tribe walked into the canyon.

Just stepped into the range of green ferns, the whole person stopped moving.

No matter how the people outside called, there was no response.

Luo Zhan had someone throw him out with the rope he had prepared, and then caught him back.

The man was still confused.

"How about it?"

He replied, "As soon as I entered, my mind went blank, and I lost all impressions and thoughts."

It should be the mantra tide formed by the large number of ferns on the walls of the Grand Canyon, as Ling Xi once said.

These ferns are very weak beasts, but if they gather in huge numbers, they will form a tide of mana that is irresistible to human beings.

The solution is actually not difficult. Dig away the ferns on the wall bit by bit and push them from the outside. As long as they don't fall into the tide of mana formed by the ferns, there is no threat.

The Grand Canyon is not small, and cleaning up these ferns is not a small project, otherwise the ancient Xietong clan would not have only cleaned up a part of the entrance of the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately, their city does not need any large-scale construction now, and the manpower is very sufficient and huge.

Luo Zhan said, "Let's begin."

Then he looked at the top ten heroes, such as Ling Zhi, "Also, no matter what is found, it belongs to our common property, and there must be no competition."

In fact, Luo Zhan knew better than anyone else that apart from the meteorite box, everything else of value had been turned into fossils. This underground base in Northeast China was too far away from now.

Everyone nodded. They know what's going on now better than anyone else, and there are still internal conflicts, which is no different from suicidal. Besides, their city is here now, where can they hide if they rob things?

This is their home, so things should naturally be kept at home.

The top ten heroes such as Negative Qi must be watched carefully to avoid unnecessary friction.

Digging begins.

First of all, some fossils with traces of ancestors were found on the surrounding walls, which should have collapsed from the ruins due to crustal movement.

The quantity is not too much.

Move it out and pile it up in a pile.

The wise men of all ethnic groups started their favorite thing again, touching and touching the fossils, just like a pilgrimage.

Then put it back again.

"It seems that this is also very good. Everyone likes to study and study."

"Researching together can bring back the glory of the ancestors faster, and hiding them is useless if they can't be researched."

"That's right, we all live in the same city now, how long can we keep it a secret after researching it? Instead of being worried and sneaky, it would be nice for everyone to study together openly."

These wise men can think about it, but it is also forced by the situation, so that they have no other choices and thoughts.

This city brings everyone together.

Excavations continued day and night.

During this period, the heroes of the land from the ancient tribes of the West Pole and Southern Xinjiang actually secretly came to find them.

They endured day after day, but they really couldn't hold back. They came to confirm the news.

If you don't give them a clear answer, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep well.

These people are also funny, they all passed on the news secretly, and they probably thought they were doing it very covertly, but when Luo Zhan figured it out, almost all the ancient tribes from the West Pole and the southern border had come secretly.

It must be embarrassing to meet, and speaking of which they are still hostile.

In order to guard the entire city, Luo Zhan and the others had to unite with people from the West Pole and the Southern Border, but their own strength was not enough to contend with the Eastern Territory.

The people of West Pole and Southern Border, for the glory of their ancestors in their hearts, had to come to find out the situation, because they knew in their hearts that it had nothing to do with them whether the battle was won by the Eastern Territory or the Northern Wilderness. Now that there was a third possibility, they naturally couldn't care less.

And Luo Zhan and the others did give a clear answer, "Ten days later, the market in the City of Glory will open, and all ethnic groups are welcome to bring your goods to trade."

"Of course, there will be restrictions on the number of people from each ethnic group entering the city. I hope each ethnic group understands."

Although the city is the base camp of Luo Zhan and the others, where all the combat power is gathered, but too many people from the ancient tribes from the outer domain may cause trouble, so we have to be careful.

Those who got the news were stunned for a long time.

Actually let them come in and barter?

Almost everyone asked a question, "Is your city open for a while?"

They got a unified answer, "The City of Glory is an open city. If there are no accidents, the market will be open to the public every day."

As long as the number of people is controlled properly, with the strength of the Northern Desolate Ten Clans, they will naturally be able to control the situation well.

That is, they can even go into town every day to have a look?

This is indeed completely different from the strict defense of the Eastern Region.

Something is starting to change.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the East Territory knows the news, unless they break their oath and launch an attack now, otherwise the three-month truce should be about the same.

Luo Zhan became mysterious again. He was preparing for the market that the city would open to the ancient tribes from the Outlands ten days later.

Luo Zhan held a seal-like pottery in his hand, and carefully carved it bit by bit with a bone knife.

Carving is not difficult, just a few simple strokes.

It's just that after the engraving was over, the pattern on the seal emitted a faint fluorescence.

The salmon next to him rubbed his eyes, "Isn't this the spell on the firefly's butt?"

Isn't there no one who can draw spells?Even a simple incantation is impossible.

Luo Zhan smiled, "Is it true that no one can fake it? Is this anti-counterfeiting mark safe?"

Dip the seal on the paint next to it, which is the red dye used by the Xietong ancient clan to draw totems, and then cover it on a rectangular piece of thicker paper.

I saw the scarlet firefly's unique incantation left on the paper.

The salmon opened its mouth wide: "..."

He looked at the pattern for a while, and looked away for a while. He was confirming whether it was a spell, because if it was a spell, after moving his eyes away, he would not have any impression.

Luo Zhan smiled, and handed the seal and a large stack of paper to Salmon, "Your task today is to print them all."

There is nothing more direct than using currency to give the city absolute status.

He is playing a big game of chess, encircling everyone in the game.

There is always a time when a person matures. Compared with the timid Luo Zhan who couldn't get out of the cave, he gradually began to think about how to use his strengths.
