Chapter 634 The Over-Enthusiastic People of York and Hancheng

"No." Cecil shook his head: "They are quite friendly, but they just make people feel very uncomfortable."

I was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Can you express it more clearly? I am already confused."

Cecil sighed, put on the unique style of a literary young man like a troubadour, and said quietly: "Passion, it's the kind of enthusiasm they have for foreign human races, which makes me feel scared."

"Enthusiasm?" I tilted my head, completely confused.

By the way, what kind of passion can make people feel fear?

While I was thinking, Cecil added: "During the time when you were living in York in Hancheng, someone would invite you to his home almost every day. After dinner, someone would keep telling you stories in your ear. The grandeur of the city of York and Han, the bravery of the first generation of city lords of York and Han, and the greatness of their current city lord, that group of people are simply brainwashed. Once they talk about it, they will not stop for a long time, and unless they Tired, otherwise, you have to keep listening and keep listening."

"You can say you have something to do and leave early," I said casually.

"It would be nice if it was that simple." Cecil sighed and said, "I once chose to leave directly as you said, but that night, someone would forcefully knock on the door of your room and say... You narrate it like brainwashing, telling the history of York and Han, and telling their city lord, that kind of experience is really terrible."

After listening to Cecil's story, I thought of an organization that I was familiar with on Earth before I came to Zephyr Continent—MLM!

This is a very scary organization. They can use vague expressions to attract some weak-willed or profit-seeking people into their organization, and hand over all the money in their pockets to the organization. Later, they will also They used various means and channels to defraud relatives and friends out of their money and turned them all over to the organization.

This is very similar to the residents of York and Han described by Cecil. However, the residents of York and Han did not defraud him of his money, but kept repeating words to deepen his impression, making him think about it all the time. Will think of everything about York and Hancheng.

"Have you met their city lord?" I asked Cecil.

Cecil shook his head: "I have never seen it before. Their city lord has always lived deep in the city lord's palace and never appeared in the eyes of the people easily."

"Then how did these people know that the city lord is brave and invincible?"

"It is said that the city lord will show up several times every year. However, most of the descriptions of the residents there come from word of mouth among the neighbors. In their hearts, the city lord of York and Han is their god and cannot be replaced. symbol of."

Cecil sighed and said: "This idea has been deeply rooted in their hearts, and it is difficult to be shaken again."

"Ah, he is really an extraordinary city lord," I sighed.

"It's not just the city lord, but their family as well," Cecil said: "The first generation of the Simmons family's city lord was a legendary hero who was a robber. Not only did he not obey the rules and act recklessly, but he was also good at inciting his subordinates to follow suit. He's messing around with him."

"Are all the histories you know obtained from historical documents?"

"Yes" said Cecil.

I scratched my head and asked, "Is it a historical document recorded in Airui City?"

He nodded: "That's right."

"That needs to be investigated," I said: "Think about it, the people who record these historical documents are all historians. Most of these historians are quite biased towards their own city lords. Naturally, they will magnify the glorious side of their own city lords and put other cities and towns on the map." The dark side of the city lord is amplified~"

"The situation you mentioned is also true," Cecil said: "If it were just the words of one family, I would naturally not dare to say this, but I have traveled to three of the five major towns, and I have visited the historical documents of each town. They are recording Documentary descriptions of the Simons family in Yorkshire use almost the same description, which is problematic."

"You mean they have the same view on the Simmons family?" I frowned and said, "We got the same conclusion from different people and different notes?"

"That's it," Cecil said.

"The Simmons family is really not popular." After digging my ears, I couldn't help but say, "It's not easy for a town like this to survive to this day."

"What do you think of the strength of York and Hancheng?" I asked: "How many adventurers do they have, what is their strength, and are there any more powerful inventions?"

Cecil thought for a while and said: "I also traveled there a few years ago, and I am not an adventurer, just a troubadour. It is not easy to judge the strength of adventurers. I can only say, The adventurers there are very savage, very good at fighting, very bloody, and may be beaten to death for the smallest things. As for the more powerful inventions you mentioned, I have not touched on that level, or maybe it’s because Because the time I lived there was too short, they didn’t treat me as one of their own, and I didn’t have the chance to understand or feel it, so I can’t give you an exact answer.”

"That's it." I thought for a while, then asked in a different way, and said, "Then, which one do you think is more convenient, the life there or the life here?"

He thought for a while and said: "Life here is more convenient, no, life here is many, many times more convenient than life in Hancheng."

With Cecil's answer, I almost have an idea.

All towns are the same. Only when the life of the town is equal to the military strength of the town can it be possible for the town to develop better.

If any one is too heavy or too light, the balance will be disturbed.

Once the balance is broken, two situations are likely to occur: although the military strength is strong, the reserve supply cannot keep up; or the resources are sufficient, but the overall strength is very weak, and it is easy to be watched by other towns.

After all, everyone lives in Zephyr Continent, and the resources are fixed. If you want more resources, you must either expand the wasteland or plunder more land.

And weak towns are likely to become fat in the eyes of strong towns.

Don't think that any town is as peaceful and harmonious as the rumors say. You must know that even the polite elves invaded the elves' Moonlight City and built the city.

If, as Cecil said, the convenience of life in York and Seoul is many, many times worse than here, then its overall strength may not be much better than its convenience of life.

In other words, the overall strength of York Hancheng is many, many times worse than Airei City.

From this point of view, Dashai City, which is comparable in strength to Airui City, is naturally many, many times more powerful than York Han City.

If this is the case, even if Airui City launches an attack on Dashai City, Dashai City will not be breached.

The reason is simple - Cagalli has sent the gunpowder manufacturing blueprints to Dasay City. Although it is not the most advanced gunpowder manufacturing technology, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary adventurers.
