Lord of the Mysteries v7c26 - Tencent MTL

After the large ships belonging to the rebels landed, the people of Silver City, dressed in round necks, brown jackets, wide-legged trousers and dark caps, followed Lord Danizi to get off the ship and get ready to pass through the dock. Enter the "city of generosity" Byam-the clothes are prepared in advance.

"it's really awkward to dress like this, and it's not very suitable for fighting." As he walked, Liaval moved his hands and legs and lowered his voice to Derek Presbyterian.

Derrick nodded gently and said:

"but it's easy to hide yourself, so it won't be too conspicuous and become the focus of other people's attention."

There is nothing wrong with Derrick's analysis, after all, they are now outsiders, and there are only so 21 people, it is best not to attract attention, but he seems to have forgotten a key detail.

"but, however, they are all looking at us." Candice took a quick look around and whispered.

The workers on the dock, either poorly dressed or topless, and the passengers dressed differently, turned their eyes to this side.

"it's so high." A Byam resident with bronze complexion and slightly curly hair could not help but sigh.

His height is only about 160, which is the common height of the colonial male civilians in the current era, while all the people in Baiyin City, except for Derrick, are all above 2.3 meters on average, with the tallest being more than 2.5 meters.

Such "semi-giants" walk on the docks and in the crowd, no matter what they are dressed in, they are all equally conspicuous.

"Fossacks?" A Roon man in top hat, formal dress and civilized stick turned his head to his companion and said, "has the slave trade started again?"

He thought that Silver City and his party were Fossack prisoners of war bought by the Rothschild government from the Kingdom of Roon. After all, in this world, there could be more than one or two of them. He could only think of the Fossacks who called themselves descendants of giants.

His companion shook his head and frowned slightly.

"unlike Fossacks, most people's eyes are light blue, and even Fossacks are very few who can exceed two meters, unless, unless, these are aristocrats or school prisoners of war."

In Fossack, although there are no explicit rules, there is a phenomenon of determining superiority and inferiority on the basis of height in all kinds of industries, especially in the army. Of course, this is not the only condition, but also a combination of family background, title, rank and other factors.

Based on this "custom", the aristocratic descendants of Fossack and the upper echelons of the army are generally more than two meters tall.

This is actually a superficial phenomenon, essentially the impact of extraordinary characteristics.

Those who can become the top echelons of the Fossack army are either of aristocratic origin or have reached the level of at least sequence 5, and the latter is under the influence of the "warrior" approach, that is, the magic potion of the "giant" path. The height absolutely "reaches the standard"-- those who choose the "red priest" path will also have a certain increase in height, but it is not as obvious as the "giant" in the early stage, and the total increase may be only a few centimeters. You have to be a demigod in order to have a qualitative change.

For the descendants of the aristocracy, their ancestors were more or less "giants" or had marriages with "giants". No matter whether they inherited extraordinary characteristics or not, the corresponding genes accumulated from generation to generation must be able to make them more than two meters tall.

Among them, the family still has part of the "giant" magic potion formula, there are certain inheritance of those, the descendants are showing the same situation as Baiyin City.

The royal family, which is in charge of the "Red Priest" approach, maintains the height of its offspring through marriage.

The people of Baiyin City, who were looked at one after another, became more and more nervous, as if they had returned to the cursed land, walking in the deep darkness, being watched by one monster after another.

Derrick was very calm and calm. he looked around and said to the members of the Pathfinder team:

"they meant no harm."

Make sure that Mr. "upside down" is in the city, and after knowing that he is here, Derrick no longer feels that kind of isolation and helplessness.

This is not to say that he does not trust the messengers appointed by Mr. Fool, but that he thinks that the trivial things in daily life should not bother the gods as much as possible, and it is best to solve them on their own.

In terms of solving problems on his own, Derrick is not so familiar with the outside world after all and is relatively unsure. At this time, an experienced, intelligent, thoughtful and trustworthy "local" is definitely the best helper.

Of course, Derrick also knows that Mr. "upside down" should not have any contact with him in public, because the other party belongs to other forces and is not a believer in Poseidon. If he is too eager in the case of Silver City, he will certainly be suspected.

But there will always be a good reason and the right opportunity to meet. Derrick thought expectantly.

In the midst of his thoughts, he and the members of the Silver City exploration team followed Danizi out of the dock and into the street.

Their horizons suddenly broadened, saw more people than before, and heard all kinds of voices.

For the people of Baiyin City, it was more lively than the biggest harvest festival in their hometown: countless people dressed in distinctive but equally strange clothes, walking in a hurry, walking leisurely, or holding larger fruits, sucked the liquid through a tube, or took a bite from time to time with food suspected of being a delicious pie on board.

In addition to these, the horses pulling the carriages, the jingling of metal, and the smell of all kinds of spices pervading the streets made all the people in Silver City seem to have come to another world.

For them, this is really another world.

Although they are a little scared, a little nervous, and are not well adapted to such a scene, everyone can clearly feel the vitality contained in this scene.

This is like the sunshine in the heart, reflecting with the scorching sun in mid-air.

Is this where we live, fight and multiply in the future? Derrick, Liaval, Candice and others subconsciously flashed similar ideas, a little uneasy, but not excluded.

Danizi looked with satisfaction at the silly people who were a little stunned by the bustling scene of Byam, and muttered to himself:

"it's just Byam. If you go to Trier and Beckland, will you get down on your knees and kiss the ground?"

The world-famous pirate controlled his impulse to ridicule because he was now the messenger of Mr. Fool and could not tarnish the image of the gods.

After leading the crowd of Silver City to a fairly luxurious hotel with some of the crew, Danizi motioned to the crew to check in and said to the guests in his fluent Giant language:

"it's getting dark. Stay here for one night and leave town tomorrow.

"the place for you to build the city has been arranged, and on the other side of the jungle, there is a natural harbor, and there are several roads leading to Baiam, ah, this city, after which we will widen the main road and build a railway to you."

The railway. Derrick, who had taken a supplementary class at the tarot meeting, knew what this meant, nodded gratefully and praised Mr. Fool again in his heart.

Danizi continued:

"We have leveled the area for you in advance and reserved space for infrastructure such as water pipes and gas pipes, and when you start building houses, we will send a team to help with those things.

"also, the corresponding building materials and temporary tents are all ready for you. Thank Mr. Fool. Er, there is also the help of Storm Church, otherwise we would not have bought so many things. But they are mainly to make some extra money."

Not long after the new Rothschild government was established, all kinds of contacts with the outside world were not smooth enough, and what they did not expect was that the Storm Church offered to help in the case of Silver City.

Water pipes. Gas pipe. Derek gradually began to understand, but still put on a thoughtful expression.

Danizi, who almost uttered the word "shit" several times, stopped talking and introduced the hotel:

"this is one of the favorite hotels where the Fossacks come to Byam. The height may be a little short for you, but at least it won't let you meet."

At this point, Danizi smiled and said:

"turn right at the end of the street and you'll find the Red Theater."

He smiled like a man knows.

However, the people in Baiyin City did not understand at all.

Really, the Emperor once said that the oldest occupation of human beings is to sell their bodies, and they don't even know what I'm talking about. Darnitz gave up the subject with a slight twitch in the corner of his mouth.

When his second and third officer helped to check in, he led all the people in Baiyin City to the second floor and assigned rooms.

When this was done, he took out a stack of long-written cards and distributed them to the members of the Silver City Pathfinder team outside Derrick:

"there are some local words and corresponding Giant words on each card. If you need any service or food, ring the bell here and ask the waiter to come over and show him the card. Of course, they may not be able to understand it. But they will definitely go to someone who can understand it for help."

This is an easy way to understand. People in Baiyin City easily learned how to use those cards and were secretly excited to finally have a preliminary communication with the people here.

Next, Danizi showed them how to turn on the tap water, how to use the toilet, and how to light the gas wall lamp, which gave Derrick, Liaval and Candice the illusion that they had come to the kingdom of God.

Just twist the switch that will come out of the water, just press it and wash away the excrement, the machine that does not leave any trace, and the lantern that can always shine when lit is something they could not have imagined in the past.

And these things will make up their new lives.

When the people in Baiyin City initially adapted to the hotel, it was completely dark, and the night began to rule the city.

Although Derrick and others had long been sure that there was no danger of monsters coming in the dark night, they were still instinctively afraid, so they either glowed by themselves or lit the gas wall lamp.

Just then they saw gas lights coming on one after another in the streets outside the glass windows, in houses near and far away, dispelling the darkness of their respective areas.

These bright or dim lights are reflected in the eyes of the people in Baiyin City, just like the Milky way falling to the ground at night.
