The place where Aaron and the others appeared was a simple altar. Many of the decorations on it had lost their original appearance. Except for the stone pillar erected in the center and a flashing fluorescent rune carved on it, there was almost no appearance of an altar at all.
.
The altar occupies a large area, equivalent to a large square.
Aaron withdrew his gaze from the rune on the central stone pillar and continued to look at the buildings in front of him.
"After so many years, there are still such backward brick buildings... Is it because this place is relatively backward, or is there really no progress in the times?" Aron looked strange.
You can tell at a glance that the materials of the houses are quite ordinary, not even magic materials, they are just ordinary stones, and there are even some houses made of wood.
Some people in the crowd were even more simply dressed in ragged cloth clothes and straw sandals. Looking at the baskets they carried behind them and the farm tools in their hands, it was not difficult to guess their identities.
And some people were dressed differently, with suits and windbreakers made of good materials, and some people wearing robes that were obviously woven from magical materials. They looked out of place with the styles around them.
"This is, another world..." Xing Liuli also regained consciousness at this time, looking at the scene on the street in front of her, her eyes full of curiosity and a faint worry.
"Ugh~." Yue Tomb looked around and felt that this place seemed uninteresting. It was not as lively as the deep river. It didn't like it very much.
When Alon and his group appeared on the altar out of thin air, except for a few passers-by who cast some appreciative glances, most of the others didn't even bother to look at them.
"Let's go and look around first." Aaron said, and then stepped onto the street in front of him.
…
"This place is called Xigu Town. It is surrounded by mountains and has poor traffic. There is only one mountain road for vehicles to pass through and it is not repaired. There are only two roads for people to walk on, and those roads are also a few physical roads that go up and down the mountain.
Route. Also, although it is called Valley Town, there is no such thing as a valley around, but there is a valley." Aaron said with a glass bird standing on his hand.
The glass bird trembled slightly, sometimes jumping on Aaron's finger.
This is a simple doll made directly by Aaron using magic materials.
It saves materials and time, does not require complicated magic circuits, and is a kind of doll that was born with a single and simple temporary function as its main point.
This kind of doll is different from the commonly cultivated dolls. It is basically used as a temporary prop.
The production process of simple dolls is much simpler than that of regular dolls.
This also causes simple doll makers to be at the lower level of the contempt chain among many makers.
Of course, the money earned is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches among producers. After all, the output is high, the sales volume is high, and the orders are placed one after another. It is much more popular than those unknown traditional producers who can't get ahead.
Aaron has not yet learned formal puppet making, but there are not many twists and turns in simple making, so it is not difficult to get started. He learned it after practicing twice.
The glass bird's simple vision module has sharing and storage functions. It can fly, and its flight ability is similar to that of a sparrow. Its maximum distance from the puppet master is about ten kilometers. The materials are relatively ordinary, but the internal fine processing is excellent, and it can even be certain
The level of magic circulation with the outside world greatly increases the battery life, surpassing the conventional reconnaissance simple dolls sold on the market.
"The buildings are quite dense. Although it looks like a backward and closed town, the population and area are not small according to visual inspection, so there is plenty to explore," Alon said.
Now that you have a rough map, it’s time to consider the next step.
"I tried it just now, and the people here seem to be quite exclusive. I can't even rely on my face, and I don't understand the language here. Why do you seem to understand it so well?" Xing Liuli said a little depressed.
"Actually, I am still adapting to some changes in glyphs, but fortunately the changes are not too big. I will first connect your language cognition with mine to facilitate your daily communication. It's about learning languages.
Find time later. In addition, you shouldn't go to those farmers. Just by looking at them, you know that life is probably very hard, and avoiding trouble is a lesson that is deeply ingrained in people's bones. Your appearance, which is so conspicuous wherever you go, will
It's normal to be resisted." Aaron knew Xing Liuli's movements and pointed out the problem.
This town has a strange atmosphere, and there is always an inexplicable smell floating in the air.
But he didn't know whether his previous memories were too confusing or the culprit was well hidden. He didn't have a clue for a while.
"But those well-dressed people seem to be difficult to approach. Anyway, I'm just giving it a try. What if I ask something?" Xing Liuli curled her lips and said.
"Indeed, the attempt is commendable. But to initially inquire about the information, it is better to find people who are in a similar situation to us." Aaron's eyes turned towards a young man on the side of the road who was also constantly looking around.
The man was wearing a black mage robe inlaid with gold, carrying a bag on his back, and holding a piece of paper in his hand. He looked around and looked back from time to time to look at the paper.
His brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
"Hello, have you encountered any difficulties?" Aaron stepped forward and asked with a smile, using the language of another world.
"Huh?" The man turned back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Aaron in surprise.
After looking Alon up and down, the man said, "What did you just say?"
"I'm asking if you have encountered any difficulties. If possible, maybe I can provide you with some help." Aaron tilted his head and continued to speak gently and honestly without changing his expression.
"Haha, it's interesting. Your speaking habits and words are too old, and this pronunciation feature is not common language... it is ancient gold language, is it? Are you also a gold nugget mage?" The man couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft..." Xing Liuli felt inexplicably funny when she heard the man say that Alon's speaking habits and word choices were old, and she laughed out loud.
Aaron was stunned for a moment: "Pretty much, it's a habit I developed a long time ago."
Ancient Jin language? This was the unified standard written language he promoted at the beginning. Does it now exist the same as the ancient language?
For a moment, he felt that he didn't know what to say, and his mood was a little strange.
The language he spoke still exists, and the traces he once left in this world still exist, which gives him a sense of returning to this world. But on the other hand, the language he used to speak has become an ancient language, which makes him profound.
I feel the sadness of how times have changed.
"I came to Valley Town to look for friends, but I really didn't expect it to be a place like this before I got here. There was no map when I entered the town, and there weren't even many road signs on the streets. Some of the road signs had been damaged for a long time.
There was no maintenance and I got a little lost for a while." The man said with a wry smile.
"Would you mind letting me see the address?" Aaron stretched out his hand.
"It's okay, please." The man handed the note to Aaron.
I glanced at the address recorded above: No. 033, Carlo Street, Valley Town.
Recalling the map recorded by Glass Bird, he had an impression of "Carlo Street". It was not far from here, but it was located in a quite remote place, making it difficult for outsiders to find it.
"Allow me to lead the way for you." Aaron handed the note back.
"You know what? That's great, please excuse me." The man was also very surprised.
He seems to have a very good personality, a little bit big?
Aaron assessed the character of the man in front of him, smiled at the man and nodded.
The group of people walked on the road and didn't communicate much at first.
But Aaron knew that the man would speak soon, and his eyes had not stopped looking at Yue Tomb and Xing Liuli since they first met. It was not a malicious look, but curiosity.
"This lady and the little guy in your arms..." the man said, and then seemed to realize that what he was about to ask was a bit presumptuous, so he added, "As a presumptuous question, the life response in them is much lower than that of normal humans.
Is this your familiar?"
Familiar things are naturally not uncommon, but the main thing that the man cares about is that he cannot tell the race of the beautiful lady in front of him and the gray-black little guy who looks a little evil. The little guy looks like some kind of
Monster, but what about this beautiful lady?
"It doesn't matter, they are my dolls." Aaron answered directly without hiding anything.
"Doll?!" The man's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of many people on the roadside.
The group of people stopped.
"What's wrong?" Aaron turned around and asked with a smile.
The man swallowed, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "Well, that's not right...it's just..."
"If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up. I can guarantee that I have nothing to do with what you are thinking. Can you calm down and think carefully about whether what you and I are thinking are really the same?" Aaron's tone
It was melodious, as if it had a special magic power that relieved the anxiety in the man's heart.
"Huh, I'm sorry, I was overly aggressive. You are indeed different from them. There are other people in this world who also possess clever magic, and I should take this into consideration." The man's mind wandered, and he quickly realized his rashness.
, said after quickly apologizing.
"It doesn't matter." Aaron expressed his understanding.
"Do you have any questions about the puppet master?" Xing Liuli asked at the right time. What she spoke was still the language of the earth, but after being filtered by Aaron's cognition, it sounded to the man's ears the same as the language of this world.
"Don't you know?" The man was a little surprised.
"I have been cultivating for many years and traveled around the world to gain knowledge and experience. I really don't understand many things." I don't know if this habit that was common among mages back then has been maintained in this era, but anyway, he has created an "ancient" image for himself.
” image, there should be no problem in making up the background like this.
Fortunately, the man understood quickly, and it seems that this kind of thing is not uncommon at the moment: "So that's it, that's it, haha. I was blinded after being kicked out of the tower by Master. Fortunately, Master secretly looked at me
I put a lot of history, geography and even news from various countries in my luggage, otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to get around.”
"Oh, that's it." Aaron realized that these things were exactly what he needed, so he looked for an opportunity to cheat them.
"I don't know much about puppet masters. They are all stereotypes."
While reminiscing, the man began to tell what he knew...
