Volume 18, Chapter 62 Arrival at Essinger

The evacuation work went much faster than expected. Of course, this was mainly because the Aurora Beast and these undead creatures were local snakes, so the road was relatively familiar.

After meeting up with the two guides, we returned to the mountain city, but there was a little trouble when passing through the city. After all, Aurora Beasts are advanced creatures. With such a large group of Aurora Beasts acting together, many players thought they were being attacked by monsters. As a result, it took me a long time to explain the situation.

After entering the city, the Aurora Beast group was divided into two parts. Several elite Aurora Beasts were led by the Aurora Beast Queen and returned to Isengard with me first, while the large Aurora Beast army was led by their king on foot. Return to Isengard. After all, the price of the teleportation array is too high, and there is also the possibility of transmission errors. Not only does it cost a lot of money to use the teleportation array collectively, it is almost inevitable that ten or eight passes will be lost in the middle, so it is the safest. The way is to let everyone walk. As for following me back to Essinger, they mainly need to make preliminary preparations first, such as preparing a suitable living environment for them in the Warcraft Lair.

However, although the Aurora Herd has to walk to Essinger, they still need someone to lead the way because they don't know the specific location of Essinger. Besides, the Aurora Beast is a Warcraft after all. Letting such a large group of Warcraft travel across China without supervision is really an act of causing trouble for oneself. Let’s not say whether the Aurora Beast will attack passers-by on the way. Even if they If they don’t take the initiative to attack, what if other players attack them as ordinary monsters? Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble, some escorts still have to be present.

Among my summoned creatures, the most suitable ones to serve as escorts are the Kirin Warriors. After all, they are an organized force. Coupled with the leading team composed of Ring Knights, such a regular military force will not easily cause misunderstandings. However, just to be on the safe side, I still sent the flying birds and my two guardian spears to this army, and asked them to display the banner of our Frost Rose Alliance. As the iconic guardian beast of our guild, there are very few people who don't know the spear. There are three spear-like creatures flying overhead. As long as they are not deliberately looking for trouble, most people will not recognize them as a group of wild monsters.

After seeing off the Aurora Beast formation, I entered the Teleportation Hall with the Aurora Beast Queen, accompanied by twelve elite Aurora Beasts from the Aurora Beast herd. These so-called elite aurora beasts are different from the elite players. Elite players among players usually refer to players who are better at fighting or have a higher level, but among the Aurora Beast Herd, elite players mean those with higher intelligence. Like the king of Aurora Beast, although he is a king, he is not an elite because he is only good at fighting and not very smart.

"Wow... is this Essinger? How spectacular!" As soon as she appeared in Essinger's teleportation hall, the Aurora Beast Queen exclaimed in surprise in her heart, and the Aurora Beasts who followed her also all They all opened their mouths in surprise. Although they haven't left the teleportation hall yet, the sight in front of them has already surprised them.

Essinger is different from ordinary cities. Since its ground floor is open to the outside world, in addition to the guild, there will be many other guilds or scattered people here. Coupled with the large area of ​​Essinger itself, the flow of people coming in and out of Essinger every day is extremely huge. With such a huge passenger flow, it is obviously impossible to meet the requirements by densely placing a teleportation array in a hall-like building like in ordinary cities. Therefore, what we use here is a multi-story three-dimensional building model similar to an airport.

After entering from the entrance of the Teleport Hall, you can see various diversion guidance signs in the teleport hall hall, and then follow these signs to continue up and down the stairs and finally reach the designated teleport platform. On these final transfer platforms, there will be ten to hundreds of transfer arrays of varying sizes depending on the flow of people. Since the people arriving here have completed the guidance and diversion, they are basically all going to the same place. In this way, This eliminates the time delay of different personnel waiting alternately for the teleportation array to start. Moreover, another advantage of using the teleportation array together with many people is saving money. The teleportation array can only connect to one target each time it is activated, and it cannot accurately send multiple people on the teleportation array to different target points. It can only send all the people standing above it to one location at one time. This characteristic determines that the transmission is like a direct long-distance bus. If there are ten people going to different places, the bus has to send them one at a time. If the ten people are all going to the same place, it only takes one time. . This saves nine trips, and the energy consumption saved can be passed on to passengers, thus achieving the purpose of reducing costs. Of course, such a complicated guidance system actually has its drawbacks. For example, if you encounter a super roadie and get knocked unconscious in the connecting passage between floors, it is almost inevitable.

"Does it feel spectacular?" I looked at the densely packed crystal passages in front of me that were intertwined like spiders and asked the Aurora Beast Queen with a smile: "Don't you think it's very 'messy'?" Although the road system of the Essinger Teleportation Hall is ours. It was designed by professional professionals who were invited to take into account the dual indicators of beauty and practicality at the beginning of construction. However, after all, there are too many roads and multi-layered intersections, so chaos is inevitable.

The Queen of the Aurora Beast was dissatisfied with the situation in front of her. She asked in confusion: "Will it be 'chaotic'? I think it's very good! Look, such beautiful lines are intertwined together. Not only do they not conflict with each other, It can also play a guiding role. How can something that combines beauty and practicality be 'messy'?" At this point, the Aurora Beast Queen turned around and asked the other Aurora Beasts, and they all agreed that this structure was very beautiful. Regarding their aesthetics, I can only say that the difference in aesthetics is probably due to differences in species. The Queen Aurora insists on changing their nest to such a structure. Naturally, I am happy with them. Well, I don’t live here anyway, so it’s their business to get dizzy.

Under my guidance, the Aurora Beast Queen and her followers followed me out of the small teleportation array where we appeared, and around us was a large, densely packed small teleportation array. This platform is a public transmission array area, specially prepared for cities with very small passenger flow. Because some teleportation arrays located in remote areas have very little traffic, it is not cost-effective to reserve a teleportation array specifically for them. Therefore, for such teleportation arrays, we adopt a centralized arrangement of multiple small teleportation arrays. Those who arrive here are equivalent to individual travelers. Wherever they need to go, they just need to connect to the teleportation array. The reason why they are all densely packed with small teleportation arrays is because even if someone goes to these teleportation locations once, there won't be too many of them. It consumes too much energy to activate a large teleportation array once, so it is better to use a small teleportation array. This is just like the regional flights at the airport are all small planes. There are few people and it is obviously not cost-effective to use large planes.

After exiting this dense teleportation area, there is a connecting passage outside. We reached the lower platform through this translucent crystal spiral staircase. Then we turned through several passages according to the guidance signs and used the vertical elevator twice. We finally arrived at the teleportation hall. Ground floor lobby.

Unlike the densely packed passages above, the first floor of the Teleportation Hall does not have any teleportation arrays other than the passages. However, it is still densely packed here, but instead of being densely packed with passages and teleportation arrays, it is densely packed with people. If you imagine the train station before the Spring Festival, you can imagine what the first floor of Essinger's Teleportation Hall will look like. People in various costumes and even non-human creatures shuttle here. The scene is simply worse than the space transfer station in Star Wars. Be exaggerated.

"There are so many people!" It was obviously the first time for Aurora Beast Queen to encounter such a situation. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was frightened by the large number of heads in front of her.

"This is also a characteristic of Essinger. Just get used to it. But it doesn't matter if you don't like crowds. Essinger's space is quite large. Except for the teleportation hall and the commercial street, other places are basically It’s very empty.” It doesn’t matter if it’s not empty! The area of ​​​​Isinger is almost the same as that of a province. In addition, Isinger itself is a multi-layered structure. In addition to the ground, there is an underground part, and then counting the sky and ground cities, they exist like reflections in a mirror. The Twin Cities, as well as the Essinger Earth Center City located deep in the earth's crust and the Essinger Mobile Fortress above the Sky City. Add all these areas together, and then expand the entire area of ​​Essinger onto a flat surface. This total area will almost catch up with the area of ​​*** province. With such a large area, even if a large part of it is a restricted area, the remaining part is absolutely terrifying. In such a vast land, if you want to see crowds, there are only a few popular areas with a large flow of people. If you want the whole city to be filled with people, Essinger will have to flood in with more than a billion people at once.

"Actually, we don't mind a large number of people. The Aurora Orcs are gregarious creatures and their character is not solitary. As long as they are not hostile creatures, we basically don't mind coexisting with them."

"Then there is no problem. Those who can enter Essinger are all allies or neutral units of the guild. If hostile creatures appear here, the whole city will definitely be under martial law. Speaking of which, your Aurora Beast clan is very suitable for arresting Intruders. Although Essinger is big, as long as you spread out, you can immediately form a psychic network covering the whole city. When the time comes, scan whether there are any hostile consciousnesses nearby, and you can find the intruders at once, right?"

Aurora Beast Queen said: "We are good at this, just let us know if you need it in the future."

"Warning, there is a conflict between disciplinary violators and the law enforcement team in area d3*14. There are casualties in the law enforcement team and disciplinary violators abscond. All departments should pay attention to arrest. Information about disciplinary violators is released below:..."

The sudden sound of the notification tone stunned me, and I didn't recover until Queen Aurora noticed that I had been in a daze and called me. "It seems like you really hit the mark!"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Although the Aurora Beast Queen is now the guardian beast of our guild, the prompt I just heard came from the guild's crystal communicator. All people within the city of Essinger will After receiving the communication, the Aurora Beast Queen did not have a communication machine so she did not hear the notification. But after I explained the situation to her, she immediately agreed to help us catch the person. As for the lair, that was not urgent anyway.

Although the Aurora Beast Queen promised to help us arrest people, they only came with twelve elites after all. In addition, the Aurora Beast Queen herself only had thirteen Aurora Beasts. It was obviously impossible for them to cover the whole city. Fortunately, even if the whole city cannot be covered, the powerful detection distance of the Aurora Beast is enough to draw out a detection line such as a boundary line, and then let all the Aurora Beasts keep this line moving forward, covering the entire city like a comb. Johto gave it a once over and quickly found the target person.

"Boss, do you think what we are doing is wrong?"

Outside a shipyard in the Essinger dock area, several panting players were hiding behind a pile of cargo to rest. A player who seemed to have pretty good equipment said to an older player next to him with a worried look on his face.

The older soldier replied: "If someone robs our things, what's wrong with us taking them back?"

The player with good equipment immediately said: "But they robbed it in the wild, we robbed it at the exchange. The exchange of the Frost Rose Alliance implements the recording of goods, even if the exchange owns it, if we snatch it like this, it is equivalent to You are just robbing the Frost Rose Alliance. Just now, boss, you hacked to death two exchange guards. How are you going to settle the score?"

"Idiot, how can Essinger be caught so easily at such a big age? Besides, there are often fugitives on the loose in reality. Are the police in the game more powerful than in reality?"

"But……"

"Why do you have so many problems? Well, don't worry. Anyway, we robbed and chopped. There's no point regretting it now. If you have time to scare yourself, why don't you think more about how to run out? .”

A female priest player said: "I saw it when I entered the city before. There were many guards at the city gate, and there were powerful weapons on the city wall. We definitely can't escape from there."

Another female elf archer also said: "There are only a lot more guards in the teleportation hall than at the city gate, so don't expect anything over there."

The player who had been worried about this and that suddenly said: "By the way, aren't we at the port? There don't seem to be any guards here. Why don't we take a boat and leave?"

"Hey, hey, hey? You don't have a fever, do you?" Elf asked: "Do you know why all the entrances and exits of Essinger are guarded, but only the airport and seaport are not guarded?"

The player shook his head. "Do you know the reason?"

"You idiot, everyone here knows it except you." The priest mm said: "The sea and air ports in Essinger are all dedicated military ports for the Frost Rose Alliance. There are no civilian ships at all, so of course there is no need for inspection."

"Didn't we just sneak in without checking?"

"Don't you understand yet?" the priest mm explained angrily: "That's a military port. It's full of warships. Everyone on the ship knows each other. How could you get in there?"

Just when I was about to update, my baby suddenly had a bowel movement. It was the first time in my life to change a diaper, which was a huge mess. It’s not easy being a parent! There are too many emergencies!
