Chapter 562: City on the top

Latest website: Facts have proved that when it comes to the efficiency of city building, "Elf Kingdom" is really the second place of the cute committee, and no guild dare to say first.
After Xiao Xianmiao explained his thoughts clearly, the players of the guild suddenly became interested...
Those voices of doubt also disappeared after the players opened the passage to the third fortification site a week later.
As Xiao Xianmiao said, although the rock layer in this basin is very thick and cannot directly lead to the underground world, there is a cave opened by Rose Queen, which can directly reach the third fortification point closest to the underground world.
And the cave that can accommodate Rose Queen's golden size is definitely not small.
At the very least, it can easily accommodate the most popular trucks driving side by side and leave a lot of distance, enough for four or five players to jump up and down upside down.
Good traffic conditions are the preconditions for large-scale trade.
The cave is slightly tortuous, but the impact is not significant. Players can walk for an hour to reach the third fortification point closest to the underground world. After that, they only need to dig a formal connection to the underground world.
The opening of the passage is not difficult. The thickness of the third fortification point and the rock layer of the underground world is weaker than players imagined, probably less than one kilometer.
And the passage that Rose Queen dug was already 500 meters below the ground.
Therefore, in the end, the player just dug another 200 meters with the assistance of magic and crypt spiders, and directly opened the entrance to the underground world.
What surprised them was that after entering the underground world from this place, what they arrived at was not the deep cave where Black Rock City was located (see Chapter 172 for details), but a fringe city of the Silent City Alliance (see Chapter 347 for details)!
This is very important.
You know, now the underground world has the most trade with players is the Silent City Alliance.
The Deep Cavern is still too small, and there are too few dwarves in Black Rock City. They have long been unable to meet the growing needs of players for trade.
Therefore, since the number of players exceeded 100,000, they mainly used the Deep Cavern as a springboard to trade with the already allied lonely city-state alliance.
Under such circumstances, a smooth trade route is particularly important.
Although Rivendell also has an entrance to the underground world, it is still too remote.
At present, the trade between players and the Silent City-State Alliance must either go through the complex winding underground lake system of the deep cave, or simply take the long-distance teleportation array of Black Rock City...
However, the carrying capacity of the transmission array is limited.
It's okay to transport people at critical moments. If you really want to transport goods, the consumption of magic stones is too big.
Putting the goods into the storage space is also not acceptable.
Transporting a magic item in a storage space full of goods consumes even more magic stones than transporting goods directly...
Among them, the influence of the laws of space is involved.
So... it is very important to be able to open up a direct trade route to the Quiet City-State Alliance.
At this moment, no one in the Mengmeng Committee questioned Xiao Xianmiao's decision.
Not to mention anything else, it is to control this channel to collect tolls. They are afraid that they will be able to receive money and be soft in the future!
Regardless of the fact that the Nature Heart Guild received the assistance of the dwarves, the scenery is endless.
All-player guilds are the ones that do the most trade.
In the future, if they want to trade more conveniently, they might have to choose this trade route.
In a sense, the bright future of the Mengmeng Committee is doomed.
Although they have a good relationship with the Nature Heart Guild, they also have a competitive mood.
In the past, the Mengmeng Committee relied on the land of the Chosen City to eat the heart of nature to death, but now it seems that in the future, it can rely on the trade route to crush the opponent under its body.
It is the uncle who holds the trade road.
After thinking about this, the players on the Mengmeng Committee became more enthusiastic.
Even if the environment here is not as good as the Fairy Forest, even if there is nothing here, but their hearts are full of hope.
And then, the city construction work in full swing also officially began.
The main materials for the construction of the city were taken from the stones obtained by Xiao Xianmiao after frying the mountain.
Can be regarded as waste utilization.
Not to mention, the effect is not bad!
The dark mountains are called the dark mountains because the obsidian reserves in the mountains are extremely rich.
In the world of Segus, this stone with the same name as Blue Star Obsidian is a good building material and magical material.
Of course, the obsidian of the Segus World is different from the obsidian of the Blue Star.
Although they all look like black glaze, the obsidian in the world of Seggs is much tougher.
Under the action of magic, obsidian can not only be used as a building material, but also can be directly used as a city wall.
And the city wall built with this material will be even more effective when using the magic defensive barrier.
The sandstorm city in the desert of death is an example.
In fact, if it weren't for the remoteness of the dark mountain range from the human world, plus the fact that it was originally part of the sphere of influence of the half-orcs, otherwise, humans would have already figured out ways to enter the mountain to mine stone.
Regarding this...it can only be said that the harsh environment has its own merits.
It depends on whether you can discover it.
At this time, the players couldn't help sighing, the half-orc race... is really lying on the mountain without knowing it.
And as in response to the players' sighs, after the passage to the underground world was opened, another happy event also came...
Someone found the magic stone and mythril vein at the third fortification point!
Not only that, there are large-scale derivative veins of iron ore under the main vein, and some life players who specialize in forging have even discovered precious fine gold!
This is really double happiness.
After playing the game for so long, the players are familiar with the common magic materials in "Elf Country".
Needless to say, magic stones are the main source of magic power for many magic circles. The operation of the teleportation circle depends on the magic power provided by magic stones.
Mithril not only looks beautiful like shiny silver, but also has the characteristics of light as goose feather and as strong as steel. It also has extremely high magical properties. It is a superior treasure for creating high-quality magic weapons and various magic props!
Many of the players' equipment contains Mithril.
As for iron ore and fine gold, the former is naturally the main material for various equipment, while the latter has a higher magic affinity than mithril, and is often used for the casting of artifacts!
It is also interesting to say that players find these veins through the tunnels of Crypt Spiders.
And when they found the mineral vein, they also found many traces of being eaten.
It's just that that kind of trace looks a bit old.
Obviously, the queen of spider Rose has lived here.
However, she did not eat all these mineral veins, but after staying for a while, she went to Rivendell.
This is also because Rivendell's mineral deposits are more abundant and of higher quality.
It's just that Rivendell's high-quality surface deposits have already been mined, and only some of the quality is so-so.
Although there are still a huge amount of high-quality minerals in the deeper underground, it is difficult for players to get there. Only crypt spiders that are good at drilling holes can.
And even if the players can dig deep underground, whether Rose of the spider is willing to feed on the minerals, it is another matter.
Mines that cannot be mined are equivalent to not having them.
Under this circumstance, the high-quality mineral vein that players found in the Dark Mountains can be said to be quite a surprise.
What makes the players even more happy is that they accidentally discovered that these ancient crypt spider caves are still available.
Some players tried it, and then were pleasantly surprised to find that they were able to walk all the way to Rivendell and then come out of one of the hidden caves through the passage of the Crypt Spider!
The whole journey only takes less than seven days...
This efficiency is much faster than taking a month to walk the mountain road on the surface, and it is much faster than going through the deep caves underground!
To go back to Rivendell in the underground world, you have to cross the underground lake system, and it will take ten and a half months.
Who said that the Dark Mountains are barren and hopeless?
This Nima is simply a treasure!
The good news is not over...
Half a month after the discovery of the mineral vein, the third good news came.
That is the road leading to the fertile plains in the east, which was also blown up by the players with magic stone bombs.
As Xiao Xianmiao said, the part of the fertile plain adjacent to the southern part of the Dark Mountain belongs to the Kingdom of Ayres. Through the blasted passage, players can completely leave the area of ​​the Dark Mountain in at most an hour, and then at most one day. You can rush to the human villages and towns closest to the Dark Mountains.
Of course, the map of the Kingdom of Ayris has not been fully opened yet, and the players are at most touching the edges of villages and towns, but this is enough.
The road is open, and the business route is completed.
In the past, there was only one way from the Plenty Plain to the upper western part of the underground world where the Dark City Alliance and the Silent City Alliance were located.
That is the sandstorm city on the desert of death.
However, if you walk from there, you have to walk through the harsh desert for seven days and seven nights, and you may be attacked by half-orcs or desert lizards.
But it's different now.
If the road to the Dark Mountains is officially opened, starting from the most fringe villages and towns in the human world, following the roads created by the players, you can reach the fortification point of the committee in one day, and you can reach the entrance of the underground world in a few hours.
The efficiency is not known how much higher than before!
The West of the Underground World, the Kingdom of Ayers, the Desert of Death, the Fairy Forest...
Unknowingly, the fortification site Xiao Xianmiao chose to connect all these areas, and the most convenient road to any place at present!
The value of this precious land, even players who react slowly, are aware of it.
The hub.
Here is an undeveloped transportation hub, the future capital of commerce!
At this time, the benefits of the rugged terrain of the Dark Mountains were revealed again.
Building a city in the mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even if such an important transportation hub is bound to become a treasure coveted by all forces in the future, as long as a strong city is built, players will not be afraid of anything.
At this moment, the Mengmeng Committee admired Xiao Xianmiao's foresight.
Amazing.
Really awesome.
It seems to be a not-so-good fortification site, but I didn't expect it to have such value after some operations.
In contrast, the low concentration of magic power in this area is not so important.
And at this time, think about the age of your own guild leader in reality. Every player has a feeling that he has survived his own age.
People can't be compared to people.
Although his own guild leader would become an ally of the enemy if he didn't pay attention to a fight, this kind of strategic vision was really possible.
She didn't look like a girl who had just passed her fifteenth birthday at all.
The road is opened, the foundation is cast, and then the city is built.
Taking into account the terrain factors and game background, coupled with the local materials, the Mengmeng Committee designed the new city into a Western-style castle, and tried to add some elves-style designs.
No way, who made the elves' architectural styles so impressive and beautiful.
Under the planning of Gu Guniao and others, this fortress city will be able to accommodate more than 50,000 players after it is built, and it can be expanded to 200,000 at most.
Of course, this does not consider the future of using the land of the other two fortification sites that are connected.
The name of the city was also thought of by Xiao Xianmiao in advance.
It's called the city on the top!
On the one hand, the site is located in the mountains and the city is on the mountain; on the other hand, it is a symbol of the players' ambitions!
The city on the top of the mountain illuminates the light of the world.
They want to build an epic business city that is highly anticipated!
The urban construction work of the Mengmeng Committee is proceeding in an orderly manner.
And the other big guilds and guild alliances did not fall behind.
They also became familiar with the topography of the fortification point one by one, planned the urban construction plan, and began urban construction.
Among them, the heart of nature, as everyone speculates, designed the new city into a port, and the architectural style is based on the traditional elf style-because it was designed by a half-elf designer.
Their city was named Grey Harbor by Li Mu after discussion.
This is a tribute to an elven port in Western Fantasy "Lord of the Rings" on the Blue Star, and it matches well with Rivendell.
The first legion’s fortification was much simpler.
They mainly used local materials, using various wood materials, and then activated the plants with druid magic.
This is a very convenient way to build a city, and it is also one of the efficient city building methods in the early days of the Chosen City. Now the First Army, which is taking the practical route, continues to carry forward.
Not to mention, after the activation of these wooden houses, they really look like tree houses, very fantastic.
And their city was named Lindongcheng by the tomato fried tomato.
The future central city in the north, he thinks this name is more appropriate.
However, the city built by the Scourge Knights, the fourth largest guild, has a blue star style.
They chose a Chinese-style building and built a garden city in the northwest area of ​​the wizard.
Of course, they also activated the wooden structure, which is a fantasy version of a Chinese garden.
The name of the city was named Shangjing.
Of all the city names, the least Western illusion is.
As for the remaining three guild alliances...
The All-Star also chose the elven-style building, and the city was named Atlantis.
Azeroth uses the common Western Fantasy architectural style, while the city name is simple and crude, directly using Lordaeron.
It can be said that the "World of Warcraft" is paid tribute from top to bottom.
However, the urban construction style of the goddess Long live is not so uniform.
As the alliance with the most guilds and the weakest, their urban construction is that after planning a good place, each guild builds its own, but it feels like a city of choice...
The name of the city ~EbookFREE.me~ was voted to be named Eden.
It is also interesting.
Obviously, when personal ID and guild name are taken, there are many different kinds of strange things.
But when the city was built, the players were much more honest.
Of course, on the one hand, because the name of the city is most likely to be decided by voting, there is a lot less personal evil; on the other hand, players are more and more substituting themselves into the game.
There are more and more role-playing things done, and naturally fewer and fewer spoofs.
It's just that even if they take some weird names, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they are all transliterated in the ears of Saiggs natives.
It is like Manchester on the Blue Star. The Chinese people never know that the old saying of this name means "mountain in shape"...
At this point, the seven new cities built by the players are basically determined.
