Three days have passed since the Alliance and the Horde jointly managed the floating population from other worlds. Now, the fragile agreement has long since disappeared, and the drums of war for customers are sounding again...
This is the current bustling status quo in Shadow City.
One side is a traverser from a different world, and the other is an empire vassal race from Azeroth or other worlds. Although there are huge differences between the two, from the point of view of "outsiders", the two can be said to have the same goal by different routes. When the visitors were stranded in Shadow City and the Kuiper Belt base, some talented goblin businessman smelled a fortune from it, so, almost overnight, "Golden Rose Kuiper Belt Branch", "Blackwater Hotel Earth Chain" , "Passionate Ironforge Five-Star Suite Hotel" and other depressing stores popped up like dog pee after rain in the "foreign population residence area" of the imperial base, with the slogan "Let you experience your hometown" Feelings (Dulrotar Propaganda Department)", "Humanized service, familiar local accents in other worlds (Stormwind City Political Propaganda Committee)", "Even if we come from our respective ends of the earth, here at least I can understand your sadness ( Silvermoon City Media Center)" and other banners started a round of Taobao craze in a different world.
That's right, it's Taobao. The fees charged by these hotels that stunned me are not gold or other currencies. Faced with the difference in planes, these hard currencies have to be softened, just like the man who wore a twenty-pound iron chain Like a noble heir who thinks he has a lot of money but finds that a trash can on the side of the road is more pure than his body, gold, a precious metal commonly used in Azeroth and the earth, is worth a little more than copper when thrown into the Vidis Empire. The fees are outlandish, but they all revolve around the word "specialty".
Well, two words...
The purple soft glass from the half-dragon, the blue anorthosite from the Gallente explorer, the Tiberium crystal mine from the GDI commander, and the QB from Bamamei... This is nonsense.
In short, these small gadgets carried by the traversers have temporarily become the general equivalent in the residential area. They may be regarded as worthless personal belongings by their original owners, but in the eyes of businessmen of all ethnic groups with an economic vision, these Good things, as long as they are collected and brought back to their original world, they will be a fortune enough to buy a house within the second ring road. No matter which world they are in, aristocratic collectors with a lot of money and a heart that loves show bags will always be taken advantage of. Qualified profiteers will not let go of any opportunity to make money from such people, and traversers can rely on these gadgets they don't need in exchange for the right to live in "outlander hotel style suites", or a large sum of money that can make them They bought a lot of imperial coins for souvenirs. Even though these hotels were temporary and simple houses, many travelers saw the added value of a large ticket. Therefore, for a while, the business of such hotels was booming.
The result is that most of the imperial barracks we prepared are deserted...
"They have a clear advantage," said a young lady in front of a hotel with a vulgar "House of Believers" sign, snapping a calculator to figure out how much foreign exchange we've lost , "Part of the nostalgia card, some travelers come from a world very similar to the world where the hotel owners came from, living there can indeed make the former feel a little bit of hometown, part of it is an emotional card, although some travelers may not be able to Find the feeling of hometown, but the people who run the hotel are also foreigners, even if they don’t have the same atmosphere as their own hometown, there is always a sense of sympathy for each other—although it is just the former’s wishful thinking, there is still a sense of freshness, even if it is the outcasts who have traveled through time , I am also curious, and it is not in vain to travel to experience the local customs of another world. Besides, these messy hotels have countless advantages, but, correspondingly—”
Speaking of this, the young lady in red with twin ponytails waved the calculator in her hand very imposingly, pointing straight at my nose with one hand: "Look at your standard barracks. , nothing but neatness, even the house number is stupidly placed in the middle of the gate, and the tenants are not allowed to hang things on the wall. This is a prison, this is the atmosphere of a prison, except for those unlucky guys who really have nothing to exchange , who would like to live in that kind of cage-like place—even this tacky church hotel run by that woman named Laura Stewart has more vision than you, at least they have launched an alien religious experience service, a bottle of The holy water of Nongfu Spring is directly priced at 200 imperial coins, my alien uncle, your foreign exchange reserves are losing, your economic building is collapsing, and if you don’t establish relevant monetary policies, the world will be in chaos ah"
"That..." After being taught a lesson by this rude young lady, I carefully raised my protesting hand, "Rin, let me ask a question first, why did you come here suddenly?"
That's right, the young lady in front of me is neither Lin Xue nor Ding Ling, but she should be in another time and space, but she suddenly opened the time and space door this morning and was teleported here, but she was almost taken as a time travel by the highly nervous Shadow City urban management. Tohsaka Rin caught by the passer-by, I was wandering around the shadow fortress at the time, uh, inspecting the construction of the traverser's residential area, but the passer-by danced and was escorted by a group of soldiers to walk in front of me, after rescued the passer-by, We chatted in front of this inn run by Laura Stewart.
"Uncle Alien, are you driving me away?" The girl's heroic eyebrows raised slightly, showing a dissatisfied look, but the panic in her eyes still exposed the fact that the other party was very concerned about this issue.
"That's not true. My question is: Shouldn't it be your class time?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
I spread my hands: "You underestimate your sister Qianqian's idleness, and she is busy compiling a book "The History of Time" these days."
Ms. Tohsaka, who skipped class, almost stumbled: "You supermen usually have enough time."
Hey, look at the chaos in the entire Shadow City now, and you will know how busy we are usually.
"But speaking of it, I really didn't expect it. It's like this in your territory. The most sensible thing I did in my life was to meet you, a super rich man." Looking at the shadow city, which is completely different from human society With different ultra-technical landscapes and the mighty and majestic imperial army on patrol, Ms. Tohsaka made no secret of her unscrupulous spirit, "I feel sorry for my appearance if I don't beat you hard."
"Crack" Finally, I still couldn't help but gave this unscrupulous young lady a crisp and sharp hand knife. It is so natural to be able to take the rip-off, Tohsaka, have you forgotten the glory of your family
"Well, the long-lost hand knife..." Tohsaka covered his head, but there was a strange look of reminiscence on his face, which made me tremble: This girl will not be inspired by my hand knife again. Memories about her father, right?
By the way, Tohsaka Tokiomi, did you beat up your daughter with a knife in your hand and a knife in your hand when you were young
"Hey, after talking for a long time, you still didn't say why you are here?" I scratched my hair and asked the question that I was almost diverted by the lady in front of me. The girl who skipped class, did she come here just because she wanted to recall the warmth under the aura of her father's love? This is so good... ahem, it's impossible.
"I'm going to England," Tohsaka Rin said in a low voice, lowering his shoulders, "Of course, it's England in my world, because I practice magic... I have already greeted Emiya and Sakura, but I still feel that I should Say it to Uncle Alien..."
I scratched my hair, puzzled, and said, "It doesn't seem necessary, right? We are separated by two worlds, with such a large span, it seems to me that there is a distance between whether you go to study in the UK or take the Antarctic expedition."
Rin Tohsaka stared at me blankly, and suddenly kicked three seconds later: "Uncle Alien, you really are an idiot—ah, it hurts so much"
Seeing Miss Tohsaka holding her calf and grinning her teeth in pain, I finally thought of why the other party made a special trip to say goodbye to me: For me, it is very easy to go to Tohsaka, and it will take less than three seconds But for the latter, the only way for her to come to me is the teleportation device in her basement. Although that thing is theoretically indestructible before the exclamation point of human civilization, it cannot be moved. Tohsaka went to study in the UK After that, it is definitely impossible to go back to Japan and back up to another world every now and then, so for her, this trip to the UK means that she will not be able to meet us for a long time-although it is tearful to say it, but I have to describe it , that is, the orphan girl who just found her father's love is very entangled at the moment.
Alas, I really can't understand, since this is the case, why do you have to go to the UK? Just throw away the family and move here to get an imperial green card with Ber and the others. At worst, I will be responsible for letting the Tohsaka family rule Japan. Anyway, the strength of the two teams will not be needed...
Maybe it's because I can't understand Tohsaka's persistence that Lin Xue has always called her hopeless waiting buddy.
"Well, I will take time to visit you in the future." After figuring out the other party's intentions, I also showed a warm smile named "Daddy Power" by Lin Xue, and lightly touched Tohsaka's head. Press, "With those heroic spirits, you must like everyone's excitement, right?"
"Really?" Tohsaka looked at me very surprised, "But you are the head of the empire... you shouldn't be taking care of everything... Of course, I don't expect you to come to see me. It's just that I didn't expect you, a big man, to take the time to come. Just focus on such trivial matters..."
Ignoring the other party's obviously arrogant behavior, I looked up to the sky and haha: "Ah, well... a qualified leader should learn to let his subordinates share his worries, aha, ahaha."
"Sure enough, it's just like what the sister named Lin Xue said. She is completely hopeless and hopeless." Tohsaka got my promise by accident, and his mood improved a lot. "Ah, speaking of it, the one called Lin Xue's elder sister, is she also your concubine? You really deserve to be the ruler of the empire, you are surrounded by beautiful girls~~"
"puff-"
I almost twitched my trigeminal nerve, why does this girl dare to say anything
Just when I was going to explain to Tohsaka the relationship between Lin Xue, a strange creature, and myself, but I didn’t know where to start due to the sudden ambiguous atmosphere between the two of us recently, the faint explosion sound from afar quickly attracted me attention.
"What's the matter? Uncle Alien?" Tohsaka looked at me curiously. Of course, her ears couldn't hear the explosion that required high-precision instruments to record. At this moment, she was only surprised by the change in my face.
"It's nothing, it seems that there is something wrong in a residential area, I have to go and have a look - you can go around first, any imperial soldier here will be happy to be your guide."
"No, I'm going back. It looks like my big shot uncle is busy, so I'll go back first, but... definitely remember to come and see me"
With a warm and happy smile, this young girl who has been shouldering the burden of the family seems to be instantly relaxed. Even though it was only for a moment, the bright brilliance on her face still makes people dazzled.
Then, amidst my blank expression, this girl who suddenly took on the bright and sunny feeling, holding the special navigator for Shadow City upside down, disappeared across the corner of the street in fifteen minutes.
If you go up to help guide the way, you will definitely be beaten to the mosaic by the angry opponent. This is the most valuable experience I have accumulated after spending a long time with a bunch of girls with weird tempers in my family. I paid at least two hundred teeth. printing price.
Shaking my head, I threw the bad memories about the tooth marks into a hairy corner of my memory. I took a big step and ran towards the direction of the news. The imperial patrol moved closer to that side.
Let me mention here by the way: It was only after I ran to my destination that I remembered that there is something called a car in this world that can save you from running...
After coming to another residential area that is far away, the first thing that catches the eye is a large circle of people who don't know the truth, and the imperial soldiers who have formed a blockade, and my sister and Sandora have already arrived At the scene, they were frowning and exchanging something in a low voice at the moment.
Looking at the crowds around me, who can be called swordsmen, Jedi, Sanxian, otaku, superman, great sword fighter, Huowu warrior, monk, shaman, heresy saint, who can really be called from all over the world, I also completely believe that "curiosity is The first step of man's crime" is the unambiguous truth.
"What's going on? Sister, Sandora?"
"Oh, Ah Jun," my elder sister turned around and saw that it was me, showing a helpless smile that I have been familiar with since I was about seven years old and can form a holographic image in my mind. That's right, it's the same as seeing a child causing trouble, " That Sagara Sousuke clashed with the Spartans."
There was a clap of thunder, and the old monk was tender on the inside.
After drawing the formula back and forth in my mind for a long time, I finally completed the proposition of Sagara Sousuke vs. Sparta, and then lamented how amazing it is to travel through this thing.
Indeed, among the group of people separated by the isolation belt formed by the imperial soldiers, the most striking ones are the shirtless men in pants, shorts and cloaks. The cool attire is exactly the same as when they first arrived, with biceps flirting head-on. Baowei, I can even responsibly suspect whether these guys have taken a bath after they came here, the blood spots and mud marks on the girls are now smelling of cumin.
On the other side of these Spartan warriors is a certain troublemaker that I ignored at the beginning, Sagara Sousuke who was only noticed when my sister and Sandora jointly reminded me.
No way, those 73 pairs of biceps are too stealthy.
"Disperse the crowd, and then bring Sagara Sousuke and Beodar to the neighborhood committee."
Putting down such a sentence coolly, I walked away from everyone's sight with the majestic momentum of the director of the neighborhood committee.
"You two, now you can talk about what happened."
In the office of the "neighborhood committee", I looked dissatisfied at the two seemingly honest guys in front of me, with a stern tone.
Beodar, as a standard Spartan soldier, has always cherished words like gold. To put it bluntly, he is hopelessly stupid, but fortunately, Sagara Sousuke is a guy who is good at describing information, and the latter can't lie. I Finally, I roughly understood what happened.
It's very simple, Ya planted land mines so densely that an ant could step on three mines at the same time near the "station" of Sparta, and then a passing Spartan soldier accidentally fell for it.
Although the latter's astonishing agility and vigilance honed by many battles finally avoided casualties, the beams between the two sides were forged. The brave Spartan centurion Beodar gave an order, and more than seventy The man in the underpants was furious, and he decided to chop off the little boy with the scar that smashed the scene with his spear, and was stopped by the imperial soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news, that's it.
"Mr. Sagara Sousuke," I showed a gentle and friendly smile, looking at a certain mercenary who kept retreating in cold sweat, "Do you still remember that spaceship? The one that you were prepared to polish."
"Remember... remember..."
"There's good news, because that spaceship has to perform other missions, it has been transferred, and you don't need to polish it."
Sagara Sousuke was overjoyed.
"There is bad news, because there are more and more traversers and that small patrol ship does not have the function of carrying quick reaction forces, so I decided to call in three larger ones—they will arrive tomorrow, ready to give the three giant ships Polish and wax the battleship and change the three filters.”
When the other party heard it, they almost cried.
"Let you violate the military order" I slammed the pencil in my hand on the map, and said that someone would give me eyes at this time, "You are naked liberalism, naked Unorganized and undisciplined Imperial military regulations clearly stipulate that third-party military personnel under the protection of the imperial military must unconditionally obey the imperial military code during the protection period. You are still secretly manufacturing and storing explosives in my military control area. I should put What about the rules for foreigners (special version for Sagara Sousuke) that you have sent to you before? What about the eight thousand honors and eight thousand shame (special version for Sagara Sousuke) that were sent to you? Prepare one billion why (still a special version for Sagara Sousuke)? Have you read it?"
After being yelled at by me, Sagara Sousuke was full of confusion, and finally opened his mouth weakly: "Well... why am I the only one who has those manuals?"
Nonsense, if you hadn’t tied you down with the four G’s of the resident rules in advance, it wouldn’t be just a Spartan who was blown up by a landmine, you scum A
