Chapter 43 Senta
It has been almost a week since I arrived in Senta, and Chen Nuo and the others have gradually adapted to Senta's life. Everyone is very busy and busy practicing Elta. After all, only by mastering the language here can you communicate with people outside, otherwise you won't know if you are sold.
The spoils seized from the goblins did not receive much money as Chen Nuo expected, but the silver coins before were enough for Chen Nuo and his friends to live in Senta for a month. However, the premise was that they only ate black bread and soaked in water for each meal, because they could not afford good flour.
Chen Nuo and the others later learned that the bag of flour was actually very expensive. For most Senta residents, black bread mixed with sawdust is the real daily diet. The best flour is something that can only be afforded when you make a lot of money.
But the black bread is really unpalatable, of course, for Chen Nuo and others, some of them are good to eat. After all, they have experienced the days when they had nothing to eat, and the black bread is just a sawdust and stone. If the bubbles are soft, they can still be stuffed into their stomachs.
Wang Zheng also learned about certain situations from Chen Nuo and the others in a week. For example, for him, he had been in Elta for six years, but for Chen Nuo and the others, he had actually been missing for less than six months.
When Wang Zheng heard the news, he stayed for two days, which made Chen Nuo and the others very depressed. After all, two days were enough for them to master several new vocabulary, because Wang Zheng was dazed, they could only repeat the previous vocabulary.
Chen Nuo and the others learned at least some vocabulary in a week, such as how much is this, hello, etc., so sometimes the language environment is actually the biggest obstacle and help in learning a foreign language.
Of course, Chen Nuo and the others only learn a little bit of daily language in a week, and they can only say that they can understand and occasionally say it. It is difficult to write it out. As for going out to talk to people, they will generally be regarded as fools.
At the same time, Chen Nuo and his team had a little understanding of Senta or the entire Elta Kingdom. In a sense, this is a medieval country that is almost magical. There are monsters everywhere in the wild, and there are a large number of weird creatures in the forest.
Chen Nuo and the others were lucky and went down the river directly, rather than insisting on walking in the forest. If they chose to continue walking in the forest, it would probably take a week before they could get out of the forest, and they might suffer heavy casualties.
Although the most numerous Goblins in the Wild Forest, according to Wang Zheng, there are at least seven or eight Goblin tribes. One Goblin tribe is enough to chase Chen Nuo and the others, and the seven or eight major tribes are very terrible.
Of course, the Wild Forest is not only Goblins, otherwise the Wild Forest would simply be renamed Goblin Forest. There are a large number of high-level monsters living in the Wild Forest, and in the face of the threat of Goblins, these monsters basically live in clusters. There are dozens of D-level hurricane wolves alone, and there are also evaluations that may reach C-level Rage Lions, etc.
So if Chen Nuo and the others really walked through the forest directly, there would probably be few who could survive to Senta. At the same time, Chen Nuo and the others also found through Wang Zheng's memories that the other party's location in this world was different from theirs. He and Li Guangsen, the soldiers who disappeared at the same time in Chen Nuo and their records appeared in the south of Senta.
The location is closer to Senta than Chen Nuo and the others. As soon as they arrived at Elta, they were surrounded by a large group of Goblin gangs. Then they finally broke up the Goblin gang and fled to Senta. Later, Wang Zheng and the others became mercenaries recruited by the Senta City Guards. While taking risks around to clear monsters, they were looking for ways to go home.
In a wild adventure, Wang Zheng unfortunately lost one of his arms and was placed in Senta by Li Guangsen. Li Guangsen took several other people to Edron to hope to find a way to return to Blue Star in the capital.
But later there was no news about Li Guangsen and the others. After a few years, Wang Zheng estimated that they probably died outside. So later, when he heard John say that he had a way to return to Blue Star, he would join. As a result, he was cheated of a lot of money and was abandoned in Senta.
For Wang Zheng, he actually didn't want to stay in Senta at all, because every year! No! It should be said that he would be attacked by goblins every day. There were as many goblins in the wilderness as weeds. He was afraid that one day he would wake up and form a large army to break through Senta's walls, so what he wanted to go to most was the capital Edron, but the road to the capital was very dangerous and far.
Of course, the most important reason is that Wang Zheng was afraid that he would leave one day, and Li Guangsen suddenly came back. So Wang Zheng waited for several years, and when John the liar cheated him of his money, he would have turned into a drunken man who would have died of drunkenness in the ditch one day.
In Wang Zheng's introduction, Chen Nuo learned about the general situation of Senta. This is an Elta border city, which was once a bridgehead for Elta to expand into the Wild Forest. Unfortunately, it is now a small town on the border, with a population of about 20,000.
A small city with a population of more than 20,000 is actually not small for Elta. The entire Senta has a guarding force of about 1,000 people. However, there are less than 700 real soldiers here, and the remaining are militia and civilians who do mixed work. Among the seven hundred guards, there are more than 300 people responsible for public security, while the remaining 400 people take turns to guard the city wall. In one aspect, Senta's troops are very thin.
However, the real core defense force of Senta, with sparse troops, is three knights. According to Wang Zheng, the warrior who mastered the power of qi and blood to reach the outer aura is called knights in Elta. One is the city guard Less Kandman, the other is the sheriff Emen Bertman, and the last is the city lord Ultraman Voss.
For some reason, Wang Zheng felt embarrassed and disappointed when Chen Nuo and the others didn't laugh after listening to the introduction of the three knights. Of course, Chen Nuo and the others themselves felt very strange, after all, the names of them are nothing strange.
However, Wang Zheng said that the strongest person in the entire Senta is not the city lord, but the city lord Vos's wife. Because the other party is a third-class transformed wizard apprentice, that is, the Druid Sect among the wizards.
What surprised Chen Nuo and the others was not that Senta's city lord's wife was a druid wizard, but that Elta actually had a wizard. For Chen Nuo and the others, wizards were very novel, because it was rumored that wizards were spellcasters. For Blue Star, spellcasters were an emerging extraordinary system, not only rare, but also said that if you want to become a spellcaster, you need a talent in thousands.
As for what talent Chen Nuo is, they don’t know, because they have never seen a real spellcaster. Even in Lin'an Mansion, it is said that there is only one spellcaster apprentice, and they are secretly protected by the kind of people who don’t know anything.
Of course, even Chen Nuo, the wife of the city lord named Alice Ultraman, could not be touched by them, and they didn't even know the other party's appearance. Wang Zheng only occasionally learned about this news when the guests of the hotel were bragging.
However, Wang Zheng has not seen the city lord's wife take action so far, because for the time being, relying on cannon fodder and soldier Senta can still resist the invasion from the goblins. As long as the Goblin tribe in the forest does not run out, there is generally nothing wrong.
After living in the town for a week, Chen Nuo and the others quickly understood the reason why the gatekeeper Leser let them enter the city. In fact, it was very simple. If they wanted to live in Senta, they had to eat and live. Maybe Wang Zheng would not charge them for accommodation, but eating was a considerable expense.
In order to survive, Chen Nuo and the others must find something to do. For those of you who are extremely difficult to communicate with language, becoming the cannon fodder soldier (mercenary) of Senta is the best or the only choice.
"Ten goblin heads (without earrings) one silver tar, five heads with one earring one silver tar, one double earring one silver tar." Silver tar is the standard currency of Elta. One silver tar is equivalent to one hundred copper tar, and one hundred silver tar can be exchanged for one Jintal.
Goblins with earrings are the strongest among the Goblin tribes or bandits. The two earrings are equivalent to the Goblin centurion, and the three earrings are the Supervisor. This is the best way to identify the strength of the Goblins and even more useful than body shape.
Other monsters other than goblins can also be exchanged for money, such as the body of the Hurricane Wolf can be exchanged for three kintals at one end. But the problem is that Chen Nuo has a pit in his mind and will look for the D-level creature Hurricane Wolf that appears in the cluster. The Hurricane Wolf that appears in the cluster almost reaches C-level. Chen Nuo and the others can barely reach e, unless he can reach the peak of Dan's mood, he can barely touch the threshold of d-.
Only when he breaks through to the outer sect can he be truly considered D level, and he estimates that the city lord of Senta is probably at the high level of the knight level, that is, around D. So for Chen Nuo and the others, it is the fastest to make money for trouble with the Goblins, and it is also what Senta needs Chen Nuo and the others to do the most at present.
After all, there are as many goblins outside Senta City as weeds, especially when farmers go out, they often attack farmers in groups, posing a huge threat to Senta's food supply.
Of course, even if Chen Nuo and the others want to go out and cut the goblin head for money, they have to wait until their identity cards are released. Of course, it is not the identity cards hanging on Chen Nuo and the others, but in fact it is almost the same. It is said that this thing was created by outsiders like Chen Nuo and the others, and was adopted by local Elta people.
Only by having an identity card can you enter and exit the Senta freely. Of course, you have to pay the city entrance fee every time you enter and exit, unless you become a permanent resident or a farmer of Senta. The reason why farmers do not need to pay the city entrance fee is very simple, that is, the grain they pay is the fee.
Chen Nuo and the others naturally could not become farmers, and they also had no intention of opening a shop in the city. Their only living skill was probably to cut the goblins' heads outside, which was their best way to make a living in a short period of time.
So Chen Nuo and the others have often gone to Senta's blacksmith shop to maintain knives recently. It should be noted that Senta or Elta is a multi-ethnic country. Of course, the current Blue Star is also a multi-ethnic world. Some of the smart creatures who came from other worlds will choose to make a living in the original country of Blue Star.
These foreign races brought new knowledge to Blue Star and also caused a lot of conflicts. After all, after the arrival of dwarves learned to operate the machine tool, they directly occupied all the work below level eight fitters. Of course, this is just what Chen Nuo heard about, but Senta's dwarf blacksmith shop is indeed good in craftsmanship.
Except for the few high-quality imitation knives that Chen Nuo exchanged from the Fair Scale, the other knives were actually mass-produced. After cutting some goblins continuously, there were a lot of damage to the blade and even the blade body. Such damage could not be repaired by whetstones. It required blacksmiths to trim and grind, or even thrown into the furnace to recast.
The good news is that their knives do not need to be recasted, they only need simple maintenance and grinding. After all, even the mass-produced bargains are produced by gods, and the steel is better than ordinary special steel.
Of course, the dwarf called Copper Slag said that he could help strengthen those ordinary knives, but strengthening a knife requires at least thirty to fifty silver coins, and it only uses slightly better materials for subtle reinforcement. The price of truly good strengthening is relatively expensive, and even requires several gold coins. If you have the money, it would be better to just forge a new one.
In addition to the blacksmith shop, they are very familiar with the surrounding mills, bakeries, Al's leather goods shops, etc., which are areas they often wander around in recent times. Because they are just waiting for the goblins to come and rob, they will probably cut off all the goblins on the roadside soon. In fact, if possible, Chen Nuo even had the urge to take back the hundreds of goblin heads that had hung up along the way for money.
In addition to goblins, there are also kowtowers in the Wild Forest. This is a kind of weak members and some goblins. It is a strong and outrageous population. Most kowtowers are basically the same as goblins, but occasionally those who wake up the dragon vein and become dragon vein can quickly become stronger.
God knows what those big lizards think, but even the dog-headed man can do it. But no matter what, when a dog-headed man awakens to become a dragon-vein dog-headed man, its combat power can quickly soar from the evaluation level F to the D, and even if the dragon-vein dog-headed man with high bloodline can soar to the C level.
However, the kowtowel only occupied an area in the northern part of the Wild Forest because the hilly area had some mineral veins. In the words of the dwarf copper slag, the soldiers of Senta would clear some kowtowels every period of time to obtain some ore to increase Senta's weapons reserves.
