Chapter 21 This Is Really Medieval! [Please Read On]

With expectations in his heart, Chen Xuan kept moving forward without feeling tired at all.

After really starting the trek, Rebecca's physical advantage was revealed.

She walked briskly and seemed very alert.

Chen Xuan was not the only one who was eager to reach Magtan City as soon as possible.

In fact, Rebecca Mirui also had expectations in her heart. She missed her mother and brother who lived in the black street.

And she had a few hundred crowns in savings in the city. Although it was not enough to go to the cat temple for baptism, it was enough to maintain expenses for a period of time.

The slave contract only restricted her, and did not affect the wealth she had accumulated before.

This was also the little freedom Rebecca Mirui had left.

Continuing forward, the terrain slowly descended, leading to a piece of neat and flat field planted with some grains.

The fertile soil in the forest only needed to cut down the trees, dig out the roots, and then simply loosen the soil to become farmland.

It was just that the crops in these fields did not grow as expected, and could be described as "crooked melons and cracked dates", obviously lacking care and care.

If you look down from the sky, these fields are like colorful patches dotted on the edge of the forest.

Full of ragged and backward feeling.

Occasionally, you can see alfalfa fields and alder bushes, which decorate this land with different colors.

In the distance to the north, you can see the outline of the misty blue mountains, which tower above the strange green forests, outlining the direction of the horizon.

Noisy wild ducks, white-browed birds and herons hide in the pond next to the alder bushes.

I have to admit that the closer you are to the town, the more normal the scenery becomes.

Monsters seem to exist only in another world, and have not yet reached the level of "Zombie Besiege".

…

Four hours later, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Magtan City.

They only rested once along the way to replenish food and water.

During the period, they also met several farmers driving ox carts, carrying wooden shields and iron forks.

There was also a group of adventurers riding mountain horses and going in the opposite direction of Chen Xuan and the others.

Although the Colo Leon Farm has been destroyed, the Monster Cave in the Eya Forest is still a "spawning point" relatively close to Magtan City.

For magic cores and materials, there will always be adventurers coming one after another.

The two sides did not interfere with each other and did not communicate with each other, but their eyes slightly bumped.

Both of them were wearing hooded clothes, and they looked like adventurers in a hurry.

On the contrary, the "interceptor" crossbow in Chen Xuan's hand attracted many curious eyes because of its avant-garde and novel shape, but no trouble occurred because of it.

After all, there are too many fancy weapons in the city.

And the town is not only a settlement, but also the center of regional order.

Adventurers dare not be too presumptuous here.

At present, the place where Chen Xuan is located is said to be the outskirts of the town, but in fact it is still a few miles away from Magtan City.

Not far ahead is the village and farm surrounded by three walls.

The tall sentry tower is equipped with crossbows and catapults reinforced with iron sheets.

There are spiked barricades on both sides of the road, and village guards holding long hook knives.

These villages and farms outside the town are like star rings, surrounding Magtan City.

At the same time, they are also the first line of defense of the town!

Looking out from the high point here, you can already see the distant view of the city.

The real Magtan City is much larger than Chen Xuan expected.

Conservatively estimated, it is at least a few points larger than the county-level city on Blue Star.

It lies on the ground, like an extremely irregular mottled scar.

The rammed earth road extending from the west passes directly through the village, gradually becoming wider.

This road is just one of the many roads around.

Magtan City is an important intersection of all road lines.

Entering the village, the unpleasant smell hits you in the face, as if passing through the door of a public toilet.

Here, Chen Xuan saw chickens with two heads, cows with four eyes, and sturdy mules with bulging backs that were as big as heavy draft horses...

The villagers were mainly humans, with a small number of wild boars and bearded dwarves.

To be honest, perhaps because he was mentally prepared, when Chen Xuan saw these aliens, he did not feel surprised.

The main reason was that the lifestyle of these guys was almost the same as that of humans, and there was no sense of disobedience.

With two pieces of unwrapped French bread as a reward, Chen Xuan and Rebecca took a mule cart into the city.

The cart filled with straw had the unique stench of cow dung.

They sat alone on one side, and soon another farmer in rough linen clothes got on the cart with a few coins and fruits and grains, and leaned far away from the two of them.

"Snap!"

A clear whip sounded, and the mule cart headed towards Magtan City.

...

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived in Magtan City.

The mule cart stopped outside the city and took on the job of transporting goods from the nearby traveling merchants.

Chen Xuan and Rebecca got off the car and looked at each other.

In front of them was a tower that was more than 20 meters high, and they were at the west gate.

The two huge steel gates in front and behind were hung by thick ropes, which could be lowered separately in an emergency.

There were toothed battlements on the tower, with braziers and rattan baskets full of arrows.

Every five or six meters, there stood an archer with a longbow on his back, looking listlessly into the distance.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, daily slacking is inevitable.

Two tattered flags fluttered in the wind, with a bird emblem on the wrist vaguely visible on them.

At the city gate, there was a team of town guards wearing light leather armor and holding two-meter-long spears.

Merchants followed the baggage carts into the city, and farmers carrying sacks or coarse cloth were everywhere.

There were also many bohemian adventurers who gathered in groups of three or five at the notice board at the city gate, watching the latest news and high-value commissioned tasks inside and outside the city.

Chen Xuan even saw a big adventurer who was more than two meters tall.

On this guy's shoulder sat a dwarf spellcaster holding a magic bead, who was concentrating on bargaining in front of a merchant's stall.

Next to him was a pure priest wearing a plain white and blue striped robe and a monk's hat, who was quietly and calmly looking at the sky set off by the double sun.

On the road, those sexy and plump female hunters and female warriors were also common.

In addition, there were all kinds of strange-looking aliens, all dressed in clothes and armor of different styles.

The vulgar shouting and talking were intertwined, and it was as noisy as walking into a market.

At Chen Xuan's signal, Rebecca took his arm and walked into the city.

Perhaps it was the first time he saw an oriental face, so the guard looked at him a few more times.

But that was all, and he didn't stop him.

Entering the city, the air was still filled with a faint smell of feces and sweat, and occasionally there was a complex smell of feet and bad breath. The overall feeling was only a little better than in the village.

Underfoot was a hard road paved with gravel, covered with a layer of dirt similar to silt, and the ditches on both sides were gurgling with smelly water.

Chen Xuan said that this was really medieval!

Front row tips: Some readers always have to rigidly compare ancient and medieval times when reading fantasy novels.

I don't look at the regional differences, social background differences, or differences in various factors.

To be honest, unless it is a historical article, I don't think it is necessary to argue.

The settings of fantasy novels have been very perfect in recent years.

Light novels for daily life have been played out.

Foreign classics also include The Witcher, The Lord of the Rings, etc.

If you must compare it with the Middle Ages, you can go to the History Channel to find Western historical novels.

Let alone the Witcher series, many settings do not match the same background period in Europe, but they have wizards, dragons, and water fairies in the world!

It can't be exactly the same as Blue Star!

As for the changes in Western society and the development of capitalism, friends who have studied high school history know it.

It's nothing more than violent accumulation of capital and the rise of middle-class craftsmen.

In the medieval period, religion, ignorant nobles, and royal power are not to mention.
