After leaving Silan and the others, Lingfeng walked northeast without any delay. wWw.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.CoMThe middle and low-level Warcraft areas in the World of Warcraft Forest are not very dangerous for Ling Feng. As long as he was careful of some miasma swamps and the like, Ling Feng's journey seemed quite leisurely.
Ling Feng still has deep feelings about the World of Warcraft Forest. After arriving in the Taikoo Continent, what Ling Feng saw when he opened his eyes was the Warcraft Forest. Not to mention the magical beasts inside, or some strange plants, terrain, etc., its size alone made Ling Feng realize how vast this ancient continent was.
According to Ling Feng's understanding, the entire Warcraft Forest is roughly the same size as an ordinary kingdom, but Ling Feng only walked through the northeastern area of the Warcraft Forest and found that this area is no smaller than the three northeastern provinces of China on Earth. Not to mention the five largest empires on the ancient continent, there are more than a dozen kingdoms, and there are hundreds of principalities, large and small, plus those uninhabited forests, swamps, and deserts. Like this, Ling Feng suddenly realized that he wanted to travel throughout the Taikoo Continent, which was a very huge project.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was not in a hurry at all. He felt quite like walking to a waterless place and sitting and watching the clouds rise.
I also met some adventurers along the way, most of them in groups of three or five, or more than a dozen people entering the World of Warcraft Forest together to do some tasks, such as looking for the fur of a certain sixth-level Warcraft, or capturing a certain fourth-level Warcraft, etc. I also met some who came purely to train in the World of Warcraft Forest. In such a combination, there are usually older high-level warriors accompanying some young middle- and low-level warriors.
There are many forests with monsters on the ancient continent. Although it poses a great threat to some surrounding residents, it also provides a good training ground for the warriors on the continent. In addition, it enriches the continent. resources on.
Ling Feng randomly asked a few people and found out that the shortest distance to the World of Warcraft Forest was not the Tianxiang Principality where Shami Town was located, but the Yanlong Principality in the northeastern corner of the World of Warcraft Forest, which was adjacent to the Tianxiang Principality. So, after rushing for a few days, Ling Feng appeared alone in the southwest region of Yanlong Principality.
Speaking of which, the national boundaries of the Yanlong Principality near the Warcraft Forest are very blurry. Anyway, it is connected to the Warcraft Forest, and no country will attack the Yanlong Principality from this area. And because this area is often infested with monsters, which poses a relatively high threat and is not suitable for civilians to live in, there are almost no villages in this area. However, you can occasionally meet a few adventurers who are preparing to enter the World of Warcraft Forest, as well as a few groups of people who have returned from the World of Warcraft Forest like Ling Feng.
So Ling Feng could walk freely without worrying about getting lost.
After leaving the Warcraft Forest, and after half a day's journey, Ling Feng finally saw a city. This is also the city closest to the Warcraft Forest in the Yanlong Principality - Yamuda City.
The city wall is quite large and looks relatively strong and broad. The height is about seven or eight meters, and there is only one city gate on the city wall in the direction of the Warcraft Forest. On the wall at the top of the city gate, there is a pavilion-like building that is three stories high and looks grand. On both sides of the city gate, there was a team of guards lined up.
Lingfeng compared the city gate here with the city gate in Shami Town, which he had only seen, and felt that the gate in Shami Town was a bit petty. This should also be the difference between a town and a city.
In cities on the Taikoo Continent, the function of city walls is very important. A city without walls is not called a city. Not to mention city walls that are seven or eight meters high, there are also city walls that are dozens of meters high. Moreover, the walls of all cities almost surround the city, making it airtight.
Of course, the height and length of the city walls also reflect the wealth of the city to a large extent.
For a small city, Yamuda has a population of tens of thousands, and a city wall of seven or eight meters high is already quite good. This is thanks to the fact that it is close to the Warcraft Forest. There are obviously many more mercenaries passing through here than in Shami Town. The trade in the city is even higher than that of some small cities of the same level.
Ling Feng saw that those adventurers who were dragging goods generally had to pay a certain tax based on the value of the goods when entering the city, which was the so-called city entry fee. This can be regarded as one of the important incomes of Yamuda City.
And some people who are empty-handed can pass for free.
No city on the Taikoo Continent will reject people. On the contrary, they will welcome them very much. When you enter the city, you should eat, drink, and have diarrhea. This is consumption. Of course, there are also some poor people who are just watching the fun. They may not spend a single copper coin when they walk around the city. For such people, the city lord will not refuse. It is okay to just increase some traffic without spending money.
The more people there are, the more merchants will come to trade.
Of course, although it is free to enter and exit the city, and there is no so-called household registration, most civilians around the city still live in villages. After all, housing prices in the city are very high for them, and they simply cannot afford to live in the city. Who makes the gap between rich and poor on this continent so wide
Civilians have little force and rely on cheap manual labor such as farming and mining, and their income is not high. What's more, in the Taikoo Continent, the price of food is very low compared to weapons. For example, an ordinary family's living expenses for a month are about ten gold coins. If they use it to buy weapons, they can barely buy a big sword used by low-level mercenaries.
And even low-level mercenaries basically don't have much money to buy houses and residences in the city.
Many villagers whose villages were destroyed by monsters, as well as some civilians who were affected by the war, had nowhere to go, and most of them lived in slums in the city. There are basically poor people there, the houses are very simple, and even some tents are old and leaky. The environment is very bad, it is the darkest and lowest place in the city.
On the ancient continent, almost every city has its own slums, rich areas, business districts, etc. In the words of the poor, it is better to live in a slum than to wander outside the city without a guarantee of life.
After lining up to enter the city, Ling Feng walked with great interest at the shops on both sides of the street. Most of the main roads in small cities are very simple, just a few that go straight, and most of them lead directly to the city gate.
The same goes for the main road in Yamudali. From the west of the city where Ling Feng came in, to the city gate in the east of the city, this street is the largest street in Yamuda City. There are also several main roads connecting the north and south of the city.
The stores on both sides of these main roads are mostly formal and luxurious. The city's famous restaurants, shops, even Yamuda City's mercenary union, and some large pawn shops are all built on the street.
Although he had experienced the architectural style of the Taikoo Continent and the styles of some weapons when he was in Shami Town, Lingfeng was still very interested in the items in the shops on both sides of the street.
First, in a clothing store, Lingfeng bought a few sets of simple mercenary uniforms that fit well. He also bought a package, which could be used to wrap clothes and other soft items and carry them on his shoulders. Then, I figured out the popular style of mercenaries on the continent, which is actually short. Then, seeing that it was still early and it was not yet time for dinner and accommodation, he went to a weapons store to buy a big sword.
In Ling Feng’s words: There is no shortage of money now, and all the decorations are in line with the originalization of the Taikoo Continent. I will learn from how others are doing. (Quanben Novel Website www.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.com)
