Chapter 424: Millennium ancient capital

The capital of the Terrera Kingdom is naturally the city of Terrera.

As the most famous cultural city in the Western Continent, the history of Terrera City is much earlier than that of the Terrera Kingdom... I dare not say more, at least two or three times is far more than that. After all, dynasties have changed, but not cities. It's like the capitals of the vast majority of countries on earth are much older than this country - oh, the US is an exception.

Standing not far from the city gate, watching the mottled old city walls, the panda felt a little emotional.

According to the game, because of the climate, the earliest civilization appeared in the Western Continent was in the Terrera area. There are several precious cultural relics from the "First Era" in the Palace Museum of Trela ​​City today.

Later, the world changed, the worlds were separated, the first era came to an end, and various races rose up one after another. As one of them, human beings also shined. In the prosperous "Second Era" era, Terrera was also one of the ancient cities of civilization.

Then, the Second Era ended in war. The centuries-long war not only led to the great weakening of various races, but also greatly reduced civilization. During the war, undead, demons... These guys are the mortal enemies of civilization. , under their repeated ravages, the originally prosperous Second Era almost disappeared. It was not until after the decisive battle between heaven and hell, that a ceasefire was reached, and various forces such as undead and alien beasts were swept out of the world, and there was peace in the world and the third era.

The symbol of the establishment of the Third Era is the Continental Congress, and the place where the Continental Congress was held was the city of Trella.

Panda looked at the stones that were building the city wall, and the traces of the wind, rain and swordsmen on the stones, and couldn't help but think of a poem.

The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shi Huang was not there.

The history of civilization in "New World" is actually not very long. The history recorded on the east side dates back to the time of the emperor and sage Fuxi, which is more than 7,000 years old. Because of the several times of dating on the west side, it is accurate. The time cannot be judged, but in the Second Era, some scholars once dug up the ruins of the "foundation city" and used magic to determine that it was nearly 4,000 years away, and from then to now, it will not exceed 2,000 years.

Six or seven thousand years, compared to the tens of thousands of years in Xianxia novels, seems to be nothing, but for all creatures in this world, it has been terribly long.

Among ordinary creatures, giant dragons have a particularly long lifespan, but so far, no one has seen a giant dragon that has lived to two thousand years old.

Elves, especially high elves, are also very long-lived, but even the elders of the high elves' royal court who return to the world in the future are only thirteen or four hundred years old.

The immortals of the East often claim to have a longevity with the heaven, but those immortals who manifest the world are often only a thousand years old. As for the so-called "Xiayu soars beyond life and death"... Since they will no longer have any connection with the human world, Then they can only be regarded as non-existent - what's more, the saying of Xiayu's ascension is very mysterious. The Taoist Taishang did not say this, and the Buddhist Muni did not say this. Say.

According to the understanding of the strategy team, probably in the human world, if all tangible things do not use methods such as sleeping to delay aging, it is basically the limit to live to the level of thousands of years.

If you leave the world, you can extend your lifespan, but there is a limit to how long you can extend it. Among all the characters that appear in the whole "New World", the only one who may be truly "immortal and immortal" may only be the Dragon of Doom. In addition, whether it is the archangel and the great demon in the Western Land, or the Eastern Land, such as Gonggong Zhurong Even if you wait for a few top bosses, after deducting the sleeping time, the real activity time may not be thousands of years.

After all, this is a fantasy world, not a fairy, and the lifespan is too long to be meaningful.

The current city of Terrera was built not long before the Third Era, but many parts of the city walls still use the old city walls of the Second Era. For example, in the area of ​​Xichengmen, there is a large piece of the ancient city wall of the Second Era - this is the section the panda is looking at at the moment.

This is the oldest building still in use in this world, even older than the palaces of **** and heaven. According to the magic appraisal at the time of playing the game, the ancient city wall of Terrera has been in use for more than 3,500 years - since it was built more than 3,500 years ago, it has been in use and has never been abandoned until today.

The panda just stood outside the west city gate and watched for a long time, but the city gate guards didn't come to ask anything, but when he finally entered the city, he said with a smile: "There are many people who come to reminisce about the past, but the orcs are rare. "

Panda also laughed: "Orcs also understand culture."

"Well, knowing culture is a good thing. No matter who you are, you should know a little about culture."

This soldier's statement may be used as a footnote to the city of Trela.

Walking into the city, you can see gentle scholars everywhere, it seems that this ancient city is full of scholars. These scholars wear loose robes, hold books and banknotes, some discuss issues in twos and threes, some ponder silently, and more of course are reading books or copying some notes.

Walking around the city, Panda looked around and found that almost all the shops here are also dealing in stationery. At first glance, it looks like a bookstore and stationery store. Even if it is a restaurant, there are often words such as "concurrent copying" on the signboard. I really don't understand what is the relationship between eating and copying books? Is it true that people here are popular to transcribe a recipe on the spot to take away any satisfying dishes they eat?

He imagined such a scene and couldn't help laughing.

That's not so weird!

The panda looked around, looked left and right, turned several times against the system map, and finally found his destination.

The Tara Khan Chamber of Commerce in the Terrera branch has three floors up and down. The location is a little remote, but the facade is still quite large.

When he came to the shop, the guy in the shop immediately came over and asked him enthusiastically what he wanted.

"What do you have here?" Panda asked.

"We in Tara Khan produce some of the best furs and leathers in Terrera, and recently added delicious sweets, so whether you're looking for some leather for armor or a tasty snack, we're the best choice for you! ' said the man confidently.

Panda looked at the counter and saw a lot of turquoise candies. They thought they were made from the "green grass candy" invented by Liu Daoqing and the others.

"How is the business of Green Grass Candy? It's very profitable, right?" He asked casually.

"You are really an expert! Grass candy is our top product! Since its launch, it has been a great seller, and the purchase is limited every day!" The man said with a smile, "Today's purchase limit is just about to end, if you are late again If you have some, you will have to buy them tomorrow."

Panda nodded, but didn't mean to go shopping, and asked again: "A group of young and strong businessmen should have come to join you a few days ago. How are they?"

The guy was taken aback, looked at him in surprise, but didn't answer.

"Don't be surprised, I'm their boss - I know your earl Joseph, and some time ago, I did a business partnership with your chamber of commerce. But at that time, I planned to go to Molai, before I got to the capital. separated."

"It turned out to be Mr. Bell!" The man's eyes lit up, he immediately understood the identity of the panda, and immediately replied respectfully, "Those of your guys are obsessed with art, they are studying art these days, leaving early and returning late. Do you want to If you want to see them, you can wait until the evening."

Panda's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.

Obsessed with art?

Those pirates?

What the **** is this! They don't even know the word, how could they be "fascinated by art"? !
