Rift Valley City is in the lower right corner of the skyline Province, bordering on the capital city of the Empire, sailodil, and the hometown of the dark elves, CHENFENG. Its geographical location itself is extremely important.
However, compared with Baiman City, a trade center and transportation hub, Rift Valley City is also a trade city, but its role is just close to an important pass.
The provinces in the sky are surrounded by high mountains, and there are few smooth roads to the outside world. Moreover, the location of Rift Valley City is just stuck at the junction of CHENFENG and sailodier.
In such an era when productivity and transport capacity are very low, waterway transportation is the most time-saving and cost-effective method. However, if you don't take the sea route of Rift Valley City, you need to bypass half of the continent to go to the sky from sailodier, adding the danger of Shanghai transportation, which is not worth the loss.
In addition, on the diagonal of Rift Valley City, there is a city called fuchris, which can also directly reach the sky from the Chaya fortress near him. However, the problem is that fuchris is too far away from the nearest lake and river, and the goods transported into the sky can only continue to rely on carriages. Go far north to reach Baihe, the birthplace of the river outside Baiman city.
It's too far.
The rift valley city itself is built on the East Bank of Henrich lake. The goods can be transported to loristede through the cuiwa River, and then transported to various places in the sky from the commercial roads there, to windhelmet city in the north and Baiman in the West. It has greatly weakened the transportation cost and time. It can be said that split Valley City occupies a very favorable location.
But crack Valley is not a peaceful place.
This city is quite "disaster prone", perhaps related to its important geographical location. Even if nothing develops, wealth will continue to flow into its pockets. This led to a wide gathering of 'jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards' attracted by the septin coins.
Thieves, killers, robbers and swindlers abound, plus addicts, black hearted businessmen and lords of terrorist rule. It can be said that the rift valley city is occupied by such a group of people. You can hardly find a good man in the Rift Valley City, and the simplicity of the people is completely out of the question.
Now the rift valley city is controlled by a family named black thorn, or frankly by a woman named Ma Wen black thorn.
She is trying to monopolize the honey wine trade in the sky. It is even rumored that she is also engaged in some "improper" skuma trade (drugs).
It is also because the business is not very glorious, so Ma Wen black thorn adopted a large number of big hands and men. It is said that the thief guild and the killer organization Dark Brotherhood also serve her, so players want to hang out in rift valley city without worrying about being wiped on their necks. It's best not to mess with the old lady.
An Yi pointed out that the autumn wilderness where they appeared was not far from the Rift Valley City. They could be found as long as they walked along the road, not to mention the blind robbers who left a lot of horses.
But when the horses saw Ann close, they hurried away like they were scared to pee. They felt that it was probably the problem of the residual smell of the dead.
So when thundering rode, ANN could only summon the phantom foal.
In fact, the phantom foal was still reluctant to come out, but when it found that an Yizhi really used it as a mount instead of developing any strange new functions, it almost cried with joy.
Exploring the way, pulling the cart and stepping on the feet, which of these is what a real mount should do?
No wonder the phantom foal doesn't want to see an
Riding on the horse, they were much faster than walking, and soon they arrived at Rift Valley City.
Under the towering black walls, caravans entered the city under the watchful eyes of the guards.
Of course, riding is not allowed in the city. Lei Ming places the horses in the stables. An Yizhi recycles and dissolves the phantom colt, and the two enter the city side by side.
"Fresh face?"
The guard in front of the gate looked at Ann and stopped him with a spear:
"Rift Valley City is now off limits."
No Entry? Are you kidding me?
Not to mention the caravans, Lei Ming walked past. These guards didn't say anything. Why can't they come to me?
"Why?"
The guard ignored Ann and watched the others enter the city.
Just about to have a good theory (Physics) with them, the thunder on the other side popped up and a coin fell into the guard's hand.
"At last there is someone who can speak human words. Go in."
“……”
Rift Valley City is really not a good place.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
To tell the truth, an Yizhi has begun to miss Baiman city. This is not only because I liked Lord Baiman best when playing the game, but also because Baiman city is much more peaceful than Rift Valley City.
Even the guards dare to eat Naka, which shows the style of the city. If there wasn't only such a big city nearby, an Yizhi really didn't want to come this way.
In other words, an Yi pointed out that he didn't play deeply when playing the game. Many branch tasks have not been done at all, because it's so special that he has to play it all again.
This means that he doesn't remember what tasks Rift Valley City has to do. Instead, Baiman city remembers several small branches.
But Lei Ming seems to be familiar with Rift Valley City. Maybe he has something to do?
It's just that the goods are too cold. Most of the time when I talk to him, the answer is' uh ',' yes', 'almost', which sounds like perfunctory.
Moreover, the walking posture of this goods also makes an Yizhi feel very egg pain. He actually pulls people's shoulders like an assassin's Creed. Thanks to this in the game, it's rare to be beaten seven times a day
Most of the buildings in Rift Valley City are made of stone bases and wooden structures. They are divided into East and West cities, with a slender waterway in the middle. This is also the origin of the word "Rift Valley" in Rift Valley City.
However, the scale is really not big enough. It is bigger than the small town, but it can't be compared with Baiman city.
It is reasonable to say that such a city stuck in the traffic arteries should develop rapidly, but in fact, this is also a pot of improper governance.
At the beginning of the fourth era, there was a guy who usurped the throne and ascended the throne of the Lord. His tyranny made the residents of Rift Valley City struggle to survive in hunger and pain. Later, the unbearable people rebelled, and the whole city burned in the fire for five days and nights, almost completely destroyed. Later, people rebuilt the Rift Valley City on the ruins, but he never recovered the prosperity of the past.
So don't force the people too hard, go crazy and even burn your own house
"Where to go first?"
It is rare for thunder to take the initiative to ask.
An Yizhi thought about it. They didn't go to the city to experience the local customs. Their main purpose was to find a task.
In the world of the brave, task triggers are quite popular, but there are also some rules, especially in this copy with the sky as the background, the Lord usually has tasks to take.
But the rift valley city is not a white man. It is not so easy to enter the place where the Lord is located. In other words, the only place where they may receive the task is a place where people like hotels gather.
"First go to hotels and other places to see if there is a reward, and then see if there are equipment and skills worth buying in the city."
Thunder nodded in agreement.
In the final analysis, players enter the replica mainly for skills and equipment, which are naturally the top priority of the investigation.
Through the wooden bridge, a tall two-story building comes into view.
The name of this hotel and hotel is bee and hook. An Yizhi and Lei Ming opened the door and didn't attract much attention. At most, an Yizhi pointed to the robe and gave people a more look.
——The mage is quite unpopular in the sky.
"The world Devourer oduin is here, and the dragon will soon return..."
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a guy in a sacrificial robe standing in the middle of the tavern chanting these words. If an Yizhi remembered correctly, this man should be the priest of the Mara temple.
It is ironic to say that there is a temple of Mara, the God of love, in the rift valley city where material desires are rampant and interests are supreme. Maybe Mara wants to influence these guys who look at money?
"Hell, we've heard enough of your preaching!"
A half dragon came up to stop it immediately.
He pulled the priest aside and whispered:
"I don't want to interfere with your preaching. The Rift Valley needs a confessional room, but I don't want you to interfere with my guests..."
Ann couldn't hear the rest. Their voice was too low.
Half dragon people are from the province of Kuruma. It seems that they are very close to the dragon people transformed by the brave invincible with the power of the dragon soul, but in fact they are very different. The difference is like lizards and dragons, although they look similar. But don't call it a half dragon lizard, which will seriously annoy these silent and loyal soldiers.
The bee and hook are operated by a half dragon couple. To be honest, an Yizhi thinks it's always strange for half dragon people to wipe the cup with scaly hands.
They found a clean seat and sat down. The half dragon who had just talked to pastor Mara quickly rubbed his hands:
"What would you like to drink? We serve special drinks that only bees and hooks can drink."
Special drink, isn't it skuma
Not really.
Rift Valley City dare not sell that thing in the open, no matter how bold it is. What Banlong people say is actually a kind of mixed wine unique to him.
An Yi pointed to turn over the dimension pocket. He didn't have many septin gold coins left. Almost all the money he earned when he came to the sky last time was spent by the Lord mage farenga.
"Two platinum towers."
Thunder whispered. His face has been buried in his chest, with the shadow of the sun shining into the tavern. It's cool.
Haila pecked Ann's neck. He reluctantly added:
"Add another glass of wine."
"Aha, brother who knows the goods, the platinum pagoda will never let you down."
When the boss ran to work on drinks, Ann pointed out:
"I owe you once."
"No harm."
Even if it's a brother, it's best to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that an Yizhi doesn't know thunder well.
The boss of the half dragon man acted quickly. It wasn't long before he came back with drinks.
The so-called white gold pagoda is mixed with honey wine and wheat wine, then put one side of cream on the top of the cup and sprinkle some spices. To be honest, it tastes really good.
Lei Ming took a bag of gold coins from the dimension pocket and gave it to the Yalong boss. Then he asked:
"We're looking for a job."
The boss of Yalong people looked at Thunder strangely at first, but didn't say much. The most basic way to live well in rift valley city is to give up superfluous curiosity.
"Look at this."
He took a piece of paper from his apron pocket. It should be a wanted notice:
"The Lord's people left it. You can go and have a look."
