Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 33 Entry

Since Duanmuhuai has not unlocked the [Judgement Court Library], there is no way to analyze the [Antimatter Energy Core], so he first sends the [Antimatter Energy Core] back to the warehouse of the core cabin by sending a beacon. It's impossible to run with such a thing.

  Although the technology of the Old Sage is fine, it is the core of energy. Once it explodes, the consequences are much more dangerous than a leak from a nuclear power plant. There have even been times when a player's hands caused the destruction of a galaxy. Although the [Antimatter Energy Core] is not as dangerous as the [Dark Matter Energy Core], once it explodes... Well, with Duanmuhuai's current level 22 body, it is estimated that it will be the end of talking and laughing.

  The dwarves didn't know what Duanmuhuai got, but they didn't care, because the dwarves were upright by nature. Duanmuhuai took the lead in the battle and attracted most of the enemy's attention, and also killed the Ratman hero. For the dwarves, this is - this big man can deal with it, and he will really hit him if something happens!

  The next thing was smooth sailing. The dwarves not only agreed to allow Duanmuhuai and his party to cross the Gray Mountains to Bretonnia, but even provided them with a large amount of supplies and sent a carriage. Bullock also patted Duanmuhuai's calf (he couldn't even pat his knees) and said loudly that he was the eternal friend of the dwarves, and gave him a token, by which Duanmuhuai could enter and exit the Gray Mountains at will.

  Actually, according to Bullock's idea, he planned to give Duanmu Huai a weapon. Dwarves have always given weapons to their friends to express their friendship. For example, a certain emperor at the beginning of the empire formed a deep friendship with dwarves and received a warhammer from the dwarf king at that time. Symbol of the alliance between humans and dwarves.

  But Duanmu Huai grew too exaggeratedly, and the weapons built by the dwarves were like toys in his hands, so Brock had to give up this idea in the end.

   From Bullock, Duanmu Huai also got some information from the outside world.

  The empire is still a mess, the three emperors are fighting hard, and other places are trembling in front of the army of believers of the tyrannical and filthy god. The dwarves have not received a request for help from the allies of the empire-well, it is not surprising, after all, who is the emperor has not yet been decided.

  As for Bretonnia, there is no crisis. Bretonnia is generally regarded as a peaceful country, and the biggest threat is the green-skinned orcs in the north.

   It's just that Bullock pointed out another threat to Duanmuhuai.

   "Be careful of those skinny wood elves in Athel Loren! They are very dangerous!"

   "Don't worry, I understand."

  Hearing Bullock's warning, Duanmuhuai also nodded with a serious face. As a senior player, he certainly knew that Brock did not say this purely out of the hatred between dwarves and elves.

  In fact, at the beginning, the dwarves and elves were still very friendly, but then various problems occurred, and the two sides fought and made up, but there were also some troubles.

  Wood elves are one of them. These wood elves were originally members of the high elves. They joined the high elves' army during the Great Crusade and came to fight the dwarves. However, in the middle of the fight, the home of the high elves was invaded by the evil **** of chaos, so the high elves were also shocked and asked the expeditionary army to return to the court immediately to **** them.

  At that time, some high elves in the expeditionary army were not happy when they heard it. You drove me from the island to come here for an expedition. I don't want to lose face?

  So this group of elves broke away from the main force, sneaked into the forest, and eventually became a branch of the high elves, the wood elves.

Of course, there is also a legend involved in this. It is said that the high elves were attacked by chaos demons a long time ago. At that time, the queen of the high elves asked the soul of the forest to save her two children. Half of your people must belong to me——according to this story, the wood elves are actually paying off the debt to the original high-elf queen.

   Forget it, it doesn't matter.

   What matters is the danger of the wood elves.

  The wood elves are a group of pure "extreme environmentalists". This kind of "environmentalism" does not refer to such weak behaviors as flying in front of the heads of state, or holding up protest plaques to stop construction. They would roam the forest and kill anyone who came too close, then drag their corpses back and bury them under the trees for compost.

did you see it? What is extreme environmentalism! (Tactical lean back).

   Not only that, the wood elves will also capture and captive human children who wander around the forest, and then brainwash them into loyal servants to serve themselves. In addition, they will also take some other means to lure each other into the bait - such as a group of adventurers entering the forest, they will be welcomed by the beautiful wood elves, attend their banquet, listen to the wonderful songs of the wood elves, Enjoy wine and food.

   Then after falling asleep, he was dragged away by the wood elves and used as fertilizer.

  So although the wood elves are not followers of Chaos, they are equally dangerous to humans. That's why Bullock specially warned Duanmuhuai, lest he fall into the other party's way.

  Duanmuhuai also trusts the dwarves, because among all the races on Novice Planet, the dwarves are the only race with the highest resistance to chaos. To be honest, if you want to fight against chaos, it is the safest to leave your back to them. After all, the dwarves were a race created by the ancient sages to resist the threat of chaos. The resistance to chaos was full, but later the ancient sages found that the dwarves were too conformist and stubborn, so they gave up on them, and finally created a race that is not only powerful, The resistance to chaos is full, and it is also capable of both magic and martial arts. It has super reproductive ability and is the best vanguard species against chaos.

Um? Someone is about to ask, so what is this species?

   Oh, ogre.

  Duanmuhuai went to them to make connections when his brain was lame.

  Have you ever seen a large plate of chicken on the dining table that is similar to yours?

  The bunny is so cute, isn’t it more delicious with spicy?

   "Phew... finally liberated...!"

  After passing through the gray mountains and coming to the land of Bretonnia, the elf scout was the first to jump up. She raised her hands high and stretched, not minding her graceful figure being exposed at all. Not only that, even the old knight, Alisa and Ms. Christine also showed relaxed expressions at the moment.

   It's no wonder that everyone has been in danger since the City of Silver. First, he was chased and killed by corrupt believers, and then stepped into a dead land. Although Duanmu Huai was very "ward-off evil spirits", everyone did not encounter any threats, but that kind of site where undead spirits are rampant is not good for everyone's mental health. benefit.

  In the dwarves' territory, everyone was relieved, but still somewhat uneasy.

   It was not until now that they stepped into the land of Bretonnia that everyone was truly relieved.

  At least this is the country protected by the goddess of the lake, without too many troubles.

  The reason why everyone has this opinion is because although Bretonnia is a small country, it still has a good reputation on the mainland. It is basically an idyllic oasis. The nobles here follow the chivalrous demeanor and abide by the virtues of chivalry. The country is stable and peaceful, which can be described as a paradise on earth... Of course, in the eyes of players, this is somewhat ironic.

  Indeed, none of the above is a lie.

   But there is a premise - except farmers.

   From the player's point of view, being a farmer in Bretonnia is worse than being a dog's leg to a believer of an evil god.

   Like taxes.

  Basically no one knows about the famous tithe tax. Most countries on this planet also collect according to the ratio of tithe tax. Simply put, one-tenth of the harvest is turned over to the country.

  But in Bretonnia, what farmers face is not a tithe, but a tithe—nine tenths of the harvest are handed over to the state, and they can only keep 10 percent for themselves.

  Good guy, Huang Shiren calls himself an expert.

  Not only that, during times of war, peasants will also be organized into an army to fight on the front line. To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder. That is to say, in Bretonnia, the status of peasants is not only the lowest, they will be squeezed, and even taken to death by those noble knights, it can be said that even the bones are squeezed out.

   Therefore, many players find this ironic. Many players have criticized Bretonnia's hypocrisy on the forum. After all, those knight lords shouted the virtues of chivalry while letting the people they swore to protect go forward to die, which felt very black and humorous.

   But in Duanmu Huai's view, this is actually quite normal.

   After all, history is like this.

  Taking the Roman Republic as an example, citizens can still elect leaders, but slaves are only suitable for fun in the arena.

  The Western Zhou Dynasty allowed the princes to elect co-lords, but the peasants outside the city walls only had the obligation to pay taxes and had no rights at all.

  In modern times, when British gentlemen in tuxedos and mustaches were smoking pipes and drinking champagne, they would definitely not care about the life and death of serfs in colonies thousands of miles away.

   Otherwise, how was the fleet on which the sun never sets in the British Empire established? Instead of relying on colonies and slave trade, isn't it relying on modifiers to generate resources out of thin air? Those gentlemen who look like they are showing off their might on the warship, full of gentlemanly demeanor and naval spirit, aren't they supported by serfs?

  But this doesn't prevent them from fighting and dying heroically, shouting "For Britain" in battle, right?

  So Bretonnia, a country that seems absurd to modern people, is actually not surprising when you think about it carefully.

  For example, when the cowboys in Westerns praised the defeat of the Indian tribes that came to attack their towns, don’t forget that this group of white skins first came to the Indian land to burn, kill and loot.

  A movie that promotes Caesar will not say how many slaves he squeezed in exchange for everything.

  In the final analysis, pretending to be aggressive requires capital, and a knight country with medieval civilized level like Bretonnia is no exception.

   Besides, the level of civilization in the Middle Ages... that's it.

  Of course, Alisa and the others came here not to be farmers. They were planning to go to Carcassonne, and then settle down there and do a little business to make ends meet—well, being a merchant is a good choice in Bretonnia.

   Just don't be a farmer.

I have to say that walking on the country roads in Bretonnia really makes people feel at ease. There are lush trees and grass next to them, birds singing among them, and small animals running around. I have to say that the place looks It's a wonderland indeed - especially after the filthy curses and the dead wilderness.

   But soon, they encountered some small accidents.
