Please abide by the Basic Law

Chapter 121 Rise and Fall of the Country

A fire broke out at the city gate, causing harm to the fish in the pond. The gods fought, and humans would lose their heads. This was not the result Cecil expected.

"Can you play outside?" Cecil asked Emerson tentatively, "It's spacious outside, so you can let your hands and feet go."

Emerson looked over with vivid eyes: "I said to fight outside, did Chesla fight outside?"

Cecil was speechless for a moment.

"Will he attack Moon City?"

"This must be the focus of his attack. Your carriage workshop and foundry have already fallen into his eyes." Emerson said.

Cecil asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't he come to attack earlier? If at the beginning, when we started researching, he only needed to come and make a little trouble, and he wouldn't have to spend so much effort in the end. "

"Because you have... control here." Emerson smiled and pointed upward, "The law is watching us, including all creatures."

Cecil subconsciously lowered his voice: "The thing that the Great Wall couldn't beat last time?"

"Almost." Emerson said like a kind old grandfather, "Don't treat the law as a living thing, but it can't be said that it is completely unconscious. How can I say that it is difficult to communicate with living things in this regard. Like laws and rules, you can treat it as an inevitable logical law of affairs, just like when it rains in the sky, the ground will be wet. You have created gods, and gods protect believers. This is the law, and gods treat believers The killing of human beings is also restricted by laws. Otherwise, this land will become barren, and nothing can develop. Assuming that there are righteous gods, there are naturally anti-gods. Everything always has two sides, doesn’t it? So we need It is restricted by the law, but if you think about it in turn, the birth of this law is not because of the opposition between the gods."

Cecil was dizzy, and finally concluded: "So, this is a chicken-and-egg problem?"

"Almost!" Emerson laughed. "Isn't it the usual practice of you Chinese to analyze from a fundamental logical point of view? Yin-yang, Chinese philosophy."

Cecil couldn't help being a little amused: "What else do you know about this?"

"I have existed for more than a thousand years, do you think we gods are doing all day long?" Emerson spread his hands, "We are indeed very idle on Earth, after all, the laws are different, but we can also communicate, okay? "

"You do exist on Earth?" Cecil was aroused by his curiosity. "Are you in the same space as us? Why has no one revealed your existence?"

Emerson smiled slightly: "This... is something that should not be disclosed."

Cecil felt that, regardless of other things, these gods are really good at whetting the appetite, no matter which one will create a mysterious atmosphere, people can't help but want to give the middle finger.

The ordinary carriage borrowed by Mrs. Xiangqi successfully arrived in twelve days. The journey that originally took the Ebo people to complete in one and a half months was successfully shortened to half a month. This is all due to the Roman cement and the transfer stations along the way.

Due to the discovery of the extension of the country, as long as a prominent place is designed on both sides of the road, a small "country" can be obtained.Cecil has done experiments, and this area can be used to build houses and kangs, but as long as he dares to make soap here, the whole road "country" will be invalidated, and he has to upgrade this area from a green wall to a solid wall. Fortunately, this failure did not spread to Yuecheng, otherwise he would regret it so much that he strangled himself to death.

This upgrade failure of the "country" is irreversible. Even if the overloaded tools and technologies are removed, this place cannot be restored to its original low level.After figuring out this setting, Cecil no longer dared to do experiments indiscriminately. If he wanted to do it, he would go to the field to rebuild a place.

"It will return to the original field level after a period of time." Langdon said, "There are records that the mages have done experiments."

Cecil didn't feel it at first, but suddenly came to his senses: "Why is this setting already known?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

Langdon smiled: "Wouldn't it be more impressive to let yourself hit the south wall?"

Cecil: "..."

For some reason, Cecil always felt that Langdon was targeting him recently, giving him a paw intentionally or unintentionally, and then rubbing it nonchalantly, making him confused.

In any case, the road station still has a very good effect. The wild strongholds such as Ebo in the past are no different from those of the wild people, and they are all supported by magic.Cecil's post station has a fire, a house, and rich grassland resources, so it is a matter of course to build a stable. The four-wheeled carriage can get board and lodging and horse exchange services as long as you pay, plus oil lamps for lighting. A four-wheeled carriage on the "high-speed" road can travel day and night.

This time, for the purpose of demonstration, all post services were free, and legion knights pretending to be coachmen lined up on duty and rushed over day and night.

The combination of these factors has greatly improved the speed of human movement.

Teesel was amazed that it took only twelve days for the carriage to reach Moon City.

"Impossible, even if you don't take the road, it's impossible for the magic carriage to lose to the ordinary four-wheeled carriage!" Tissel almost roared, "It's just a road! It's just a road!"

"That's not just a road." A voice came from the ground, and Cecil raised his head and looked at the owner of the carriage firm standing on the "plate" stairs, "That's the embodiment of human wisdom."

As a person who has gone through countless storms, Teesel instantly put away his grim expression, and calmly said: "Speed ​​is not everything."

"It's everything to vehicles," said Cecil. "Humans can conquer nature without magic, without long life and great strength. We can live well instead of wearing tattered clothes and naked feet on bare earth."

It was lunch break time, and several people came to see the exhibition of the magic carriage, as well as the flow of people transporting raw materials into and out of the city, and they surrounded them curiously.

This is the second public communication between the carriage firm and Cecil.

Tisser straightened his clothes and said loudly: "Of course, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, they will surely gain wealth and glory and enter the palace of magic..."

"You know it's a lie." Cecil interrupted Tisser's defense, "In the hearts of magicians, people are destined to be born, you know."

Tissel's face changed: "How... how can you say that! Nonsense! Hard work is what people should do! Those poor people are stupid and lazy, so their fate is not going well! No one else is to blame!"

"Hehe." Cecil really hoped that the translation magic could translate the "essence" of these two words this time.

Tissel's complexion was not very good at first, so she simply turned around and got into the "plate".

Cecil spread his hands to the people who were eating melons: "I ran away if I couldn't say it, it's boring."

There was snickering in the crowd, and this little confrontation would soon spread throughout the city, and even though no one advertised it, the animosity between the magic wagon and the ordinary wagon could be seen even by a fool.

Richard's workshop has been discussing this matter. When he heard that someone supported the magic carriage, he was very puzzled and said: "Do you want the god of ordinary carriages to lose?"

"I have no such hope!" The speaker explained, "But magic is a great thing after all, so it's normal for us to lose."

Richard thought for a while and said, "No, you can't think like that."

"Why?" The speaker was a little dissatisfied, "What do I think is none of your business?"

"It's related to my future." Richard felt that this person's mind was not very good. "If the God of Chariots loses, the workshop will be closed, and we will be unemployed, right? Where are you from? People? Are you going to go back? Anyway, I don’t want to go back.”

After being said so, the indifferent and joyful atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the colleagues who worked together looked at the person who spoke first, with a little dissatisfaction in their eyes.

The person who spoke first was startled, as if he had just thought of the key point, and stammered: "Then, then I can go to do other things, such as soap workshops, recruiting people everywhere."

Richard said bluntly: "I've never heard that the side that loses the war of gods can be safe and sound. Anyway, I want to win. You have a place to go back, but I don't!"

No one spoke anymore, and everyone slowly dispersed, but they began to think about the relationship between this rumored battle of gods and themselves.

The magic four-wheeled carriage arrived early in the morning on the 13th. The driver was severely criticized by Tissel, and he justified wrongly: "The road is really difficult to walk, and there are no directions, and there are many ravines and hills."

"Why didn't I find the way I was walking?"

"Because the roads are built in flat places."

Tissel almost fainted out of breath: "Then you just pick up a flat place and walk!"

"I've tried to pick it up, but in some places the road is the only flat place, so I have to detour or climb over the mountain."

Tissel looked around, leaned over and said, "Can't you just walk on the road when no one is around?"

"The carriage can't pass, boss!" the coachman complained, "there are walls on both sides of the road, the carriage is too big, if you force it in, the wall will be destroyed, if there is no fire, you will be found immediately! There is no unoccupied area, and people will be encountered almost all the time, and it is difficult not to be seen."

This is an additional effect of "high speed", and if someone invades from the outside, it will be discovered at once.

Tissel sighed, "It seems that the other party has considered everything."

"Father……"

Even the silly son started to worry, and Tissel had to make a confident gesture: "Don't worry, the carriage has arrived, it's time for us to exert our strength."

The magic four-wheeled carriage test drive event set off a wave of excitement again in Moon City, and many residents squeezed out time to queue up, wanting to take a ride in the magic carriage that could only be seen from a distance before.The show is good and the food is delicious, but riding in the magic carriage is probably the only chance in their life, so they must not miss it.

Not only that, as time went by, loyal customers of the magic four-wheeled carriage arrived one after another, and many customers who ordered ordinary four-wheeled carriages also arrived in a concentrated manner.The new atmosphere of Moon City and what I saw along the way are really interesting, but the owner of the magic carriage is here, so I can't miss this opportunity to make friends.

For a while, the area around the "Big Spinning Top" was crowded with people, creating a lively scene.

In this regard, Yuecheng responded by announcing that "the world's first public transportation system is online".

At this time, Yuecheng has been filled with buildings, not to mention greening, even the square has only one piece, and the construction of the second ring road is imminent.Fortunately, Cecil had foreseen the future development long ago, and the road was reserved wide enough, so there was no problem for four-wheeled carriages to pass.

People who walk are naturally slower than those who take a horse-drawn carriage. After the public transportation system is launched, the congestion situation has been greatly alleviated.The carriages driving in the city have no walls, only the roof and the railings to lean on, and the residents don't care. For them, they are very happy to be able to go from the dormitory to the workshop for free.

"How long do you want to be free?" Russell went to Cecil specifically on this issue.

"Uh, maybe some time after the war of gods." Cecil knew he was wrong, and said evasively, "The road is free."

"The car is not free, the animals pulling the cart are not free, and the driver is not free." Russell said confidently, "End the war of gods as soon as possible!"

It's not up to me to decide, Cecil muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out. He deeply understood the feeling of helplessness when the new APP was burning money and enclosing land. After all, there is no way to retreat now.

Teesel obviously felt the same way. At this time, he must not admit defeat. After the Moon City public transportation system went online, he hired people to announce that he would draw a lottery among those who had visited the magic carriage. The prize was a magic four-wheeled carriage. !Never break your promise!No inside story!

This really caused a sensation, and many people who hadn't planned to visit did so, including Richard.Everyone was thinking, maybe I just hit it?

Cecil was ready to move: "You said if I go, will I also be hit?"

The other people at the dinner meeting were throwing their eyes at me like idiots.

"I think it's more likely that you were killed by a spell as soon as you stepped in." Oakes said bluntly.

"Is it so cruel?" Cecil murmured, "This is not the beginning of the war of gods... oh." He suddenly realized that the carriage firm used to pay people to assassinate him, so he sent him to his door like a fool. ?

Money is charming!

The day of the lottery was a weekend, and the "initial stage" hadn't been reached yet, so Cecil set a 999 working hours in Moon City without burden, because a week in this world is ten days.Of course, he himself is open all year round, this is not the time to enjoy, not to mention the weak foundation, Yuecheng has no foundation, and it will be over if it loses.

Periodic rest is still necessary. If you are too tense, you will not be able to bear it. The reason why you can take this day off is because of the huge difference between the magic coin and the metal coin. Even so, Russell is still in Cyprus every day like a miser. Syl yelled in his ear: No money!No money!No money!

"Didn't the carriage have a lot of money in it?" Cecil was so annoyed that he didn't dare to reply. After all, he was the one who spent a lot of money on infrastructure construction, and he was the one who spent his money on the money market. He can be said to be the most profitable, and at the same time It is also the most cost-effective, "It's delivered."

"Intercity public transportation system! Free! Second Ring City Wall! Tongcheng Construction! New Land Reclamation! Port Construction! Ebo Tunnel!" These are the plans listed by Cecil, which must be implemented and burned. Qian Zhi, "Oh, by the way, so far all entertainment activities in Yuecheng are free, don't you need money for acting? Don't you need money for printing books?"

Tongcheng is the area where Tongshulin is located. In the future, it will be an industrial city. Once it is completed, the chemical industry in Yuecheng will be relocated. After all, tung oil can be used in industry, and there is a river there, which is very convenient for industrial needs. After all, well water is not as convenient as river water.

Yuecheng will further strengthen the functions of politics, education, entertainment and media centers, and relocate responsibilities when necessary.

When the name of each item popped out, Cecil's face lowered a little, and finally it was almost parallel to the ground, and he whispered: "Isn't this for the battle of gods..."

Russell looked up to the sky and sighed, and said "You can do it yourself" and left.

Cecil knew that Russell was worried about cash flow, so of course he couldn't say anything. Not only did he rely on the Gay Knights to enjoy the cool, but the "exiled" knights were also a major force supporting him. Such a friend regardless of status is his luck.

Burning money is really fast, and it hurts...

The carriage company threw out the "lottery" card, and Cecil immediately announced the opening of intercity public transportation. During the "natural" trial operation period, it was all free of charge and emphasized that there would be a fee in the future. However, people are always used to focusing on immediate benefits and future Let's talk about it later.

The [-]-day journey is not short, at least for Cecil, but the natives who go out for a month feel that it is very fast and convenient, not to mention that there are many stations along the way, which can basically be divided into one or two days journey of.

It's almost the same as being at home, someone commented.

However, few people have gone to Toto Port for personal reasons. After all, there is no such a long vacation. Everyone is here to work and earn money, not to travel.

"Then it's good to have a holiday." Cecil glanced at Russell before saying this, "Take it as a public holiday, and those who are willing to work overtime three... double the overtime pay." He swallowed high and low temperature subsidies and the like After going back, Russell's eyes were already very unkind, "That's right, this is our first public holiday in Yuecheng, what do you guys think?"

"God War Festival?" Moye said lazily, "How is it?"

"It's not good." O'Casey said sternly. Since entering the "emergency state", he has no chance to preach justice to others. He often sticks to Moyer. The two go in and out together like Siamese twins. One is sure to find the other, "inexplicably."

Moyer moved his body, put his head on O'Casey's thigh, and said, "Then what do you think is a good name?"

O'Casey is obviously not a creative person, so he hesitated and said, "The Carriage Festival?"

Everyone in the room booed, the name was too boring.

"Mid-Autumn Festival." Cecil copied the Chinese solar terms shamelessly, "It's almost the middle of autumn soon, isn't it common to name things according to climate?"

"Indeed." Langdon concluded, "And, does this name allow someone to be extradited?"

Cecil said "hey" twice: "Maybe I can come here."

"How many days?" Oakes asked.

"Actually, I want to let it go for ten...three days." Cecil changed his words abruptly under Russell's gaze, and then sighed, "Three days are too close, I can't get anywhere."

"When Tongcheng is built in the future, you can go there within three days. It seems that you can get there in one day." Russell said, "Don't just look at your eyes!"

"I see."

The owner and supporters of the carriage firm were very satisfied with the current situation. People stood under the "plate" and looked up at them with longing eyes. When the huge prize was awarded, cheers and exclamations resounded through the sky.

Tissel wasn't lying, there was indeed no inside story in this lottery, it was completely random.He was a very ordinary worker. He came from a small country on the plain across the bay. His country was so small that most people would be at a loss when he told it. However, he didn’t care about it. Now he owns a magic carriage. You can earn magic coins that you can never earn in a lifetime!

"It's not just a carriage, my friend!" Tissell said in a businessman's excited tone, "We have also planned a luxurious experience, and you are welcome to join the magic carriage family! You will take the carriage, pass through the magic gate, and arrive at Tambu Nita’s capital Algier, attend a dinner party, full of the highest level of magic food, you will get a set of magic costumes for free, and our membership card for free maintenance for life!"

This series of experiences was not Tissel's original plan, but the homosexuals repeatedly raised the stakes, forcing him to invest more, not only prolonging the test ride time of the carriage, but also drawing prizes in advance and adding various luxury experiences, In order to win the favor of these "untouchables", as long as these people want the magic carriage even more, the bargaining chip of God War will increase by one point!

Waves of envious exclamations rose one after another. Richard looked at the winner and yelled in surprise. It was the colleague who made the statement that "magic must win". He felt that this colleague might become a magic fan. up.

Magic is nice, but I still hope the ordinary Chariots win, thought Richard.Since coming here, he has heard and seen a lot. This world is not as narrow and unchanging as his original small country.

The ordinary chariot god must win!

The next day, the colleague who won the lottery was surrounded by people as soon as he came back, throwing a lot of questions, but he didn't say a lot of good things about magic as happily as Richard thought , but said with a lack of interest: "I sold the carriage."

"What?" Someone exclaimed, "That's a magic carriage, are you willing?"

"What about the magic carriage? I don't know how to drive, and I can't afford to hire a horse, you know? The carriage firm also stipulates what kind of horse-drawn cart must be used. Anyway, I can't afford a horse to pull the cart in my life. I might as well sell it. .” The winner said angrily, “I don’t think it belongs to us!”

Richard felt strange and couldn't help asking: "You don't look happy, what happened?"

The winner seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said loudly: "Those people don't look down on me at all. When I was eating yesterday, the servant who delivered the food told me that this is a fork. You should hold the thin end and not the one with tines." Also, the clothes sent to me cannot be washed or soaked in water. They must be protected by magic! The clerk also asked me, do you know what is invariant? Explained it to me for a long time! What is free maintenance for life, I need to send the carriage to the designated location! I asked where the coachman was, but the coachman just looked back at me and didn’t answer at all!” The more he talked, the more excited he became, “Are they taking me for a fool?”

There were discussions among the crowd, and many people showed displeasure. Everyone was in the same status. If the winners were treated like this, they would naturally receive the same treatment.They had no chance to face the magical world before, and only had some beautiful fantasies. Now, when their fantasies are shattered at close range, they will naturally feel disappointed and angry.

Richard heard these words in his ears, and he couldn't help but look forward to winning the war of gods. He is a child who loves to think, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "You really didn't know these things before, right?"

"So what! I know now!" the winner shouted angrily.

"How do you know?" Richard asked.

"You will know it when you come to Moon City!"

The winner’s yell echoed in the workshop, and the migrant workers were stunned. They recalled the past and the present, and panic grew in their hearts: If the battle of gods is lost, do we have to leave here?
