Chapter 182 Entry and exit of the Holy Land

The hot sun shines on the black wall, and the tightly stitched rocks flashed with a metallic luster, giving people an indestructible feeling.

Leon has never seen such a tall and thick fortification. The defensive wall of the barbious fortress is divided into two layers, the front is as high as a hundred feet, and the last one is more than half!

The main wall is more than a dozen steps wide, and the top can easily accommodate several carriages in parallel. There is a stone tower at a distance, which consumes a huge amount of work.

You should know that ordinary people can't enter the secret land of the Holy Land, which means that all the buildings are made by warriors, priests and other professionals. I really don't know how much time and effort it took those who were stronger than Mongolia to build the current magnificent fortress.

There were not many guards stationed on the wall. They were fully armed and looked at the distance with weapons and did not interfere with Leon and Gucci.

"We can only look here. Unless the beast tide comes, we can't enter the main area." The old lion explained in a low voice.

The position at the top of the stone steps is also enough, where you can see all the scenes around the fortress.

The people who were just in the fortress felt that they were very small, but when they looked at the wall, they found that the wilderness fortress was surrounded by endless forests. The whole fortress was like a lonely boat in the sea, which also looked small.

This scene is absolutely shocking and makes people in awe!

"I think you must have heard a lot of rumors about the secret land when you were on the glorious continent..." Gucci said, "Someone must have told you that the four clans of the mainland have conquered the first secret place and are marching to the second and third secret place."

"I can tell you, that's bullshit!"

The old lion said rudely: "That's just putting gold on your face! Here, not to mention our Bimon, even those son of a bitch elves dare not say that they have explored half of the area of the first secret place. They can control the same as we can, that is, the territory around the fortress!"

For hundreds of years, relying on fortifications, the four ethnic groups in the mainland have carried out a never-ending exploration of the first secret place in the holy land. A large number of relics of civilization have been discovered, thousands of treasures have been excavated, and countless monsters have been killed and harvested.

However, the vastness and danger of the holy land are far beyond people's imagination. Every year in early spring and early autumn, a terrible wave of beasts will break out in the holy land. Tens of thousands and millions of monsters have gushed out from the depths of mountains, forests, swamps and deserts, launching crazy attacks on the fortress bases of the four clans on the mainland. There is no exception.

The reason why the wall of the barbarian fortress is so tall and strong, and there are dozens of fortress towers, not to prevent the invasion of other races, but to attack the tide of beasts twice a year.

But even if there is a majestic fortress, hundreds of people die in the tide of beasts every year, coupled with the adventurers who usually disappear in wild exploration, the quite amazing losses have made the four clans of the mainland not really occupy the first territory of the holy land so far.

"Look at those forests..." Gucci pointed to the big forest in the distance and said, "In the past, those places were all farmland, but the beasts were all destroyed as soon as they came, and the trees that were cut down and dug up grew up again, so we can't make use of them."

The forest of the secret land of the Holy Land, like the monsters living in it, has an amazing ability to survive and reproduce. The repeated exploration of the fortress settlers over hundreds of years has all ended in failure. Only the farmland in the fortress can provide some food for the settlers.

Leon was speechless. There was always a gap between rumors and eyes. If he hadn't been there in person, how could he have known the real situation here?

"Brother Leon, you have to remember that your life is the most precious, and nothing can replace it!" The old lion said solemnly, "There are many opportunities and wealth in the holy land, but there must be life to enjoy it."

"For decades, I have seen too many young people like you boldly break into the big forest and never come back."

"Thank you for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind!" Leon smiled and thanked him.

The old lion grinned: "But don't be too afraid. As long as you are careful enough, you should be familiar with the situation here before exploring slowly. It's better to find a reliable team, and you can live to the present like me."

"Okay, I'll take you to the bar and introduce you to some useful friends!"

In addition to the tall city walls and many pagodas, the internal pattern of the barbarian fortress is not much different from that of ordinary mainland cities. It is also divided into military camp locations, residential areas, commercial areas, workshop areas, etc.

So there are living facilities in the city here, but the number of settlers is not large, far from the prosperity and bustle of mainland cities. At least there is no bustling flow of people on the street.

The bar that Gucci brought to Leon is located near the gate of the city. Although it is only noon now, the bar called Night Charm is doing well, and there are people in almost all places.

The old lion sat down on the wine stool on one side of the bar and stretched out his hand to the busy bartender behind the bar and shouted, "Lason bear boy, give me two glasses of the best red fruit wine!"

The burly, strong, hairy bear bartender raised his head and looked at Gucci with surprise: "Old lion, haven't you retired? Why are you here again?"

The old lion sighed and said, "It's not the trouble of the prodigal things at home. This time, it's the last one. Whether it's harvested or not, it will never come again after going back!"

"I heard this very well..." The bartender said, "You said it more than once, didn't you? Since you want to make money, why are you willing to drink the best red fruit wine?

The old lion patted Leon on the shoulder: "I'd like to introduce you to a newcomer, Leon, a better bear boy than you. It's his treat today. Of course, I want the best!"

The bartender suddenly looked, and Leon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he was coming to be a wrongdoer today.

But Leon doesn't mind. This old lion who has been in the Holy Land for decades is definitely a worthy figure. What is a few glasses of cider?

"Just kidding, just have ordinary cider." Gucci smiled and said, "Although the red fruit wine is delicious, the price is too tricky!"

"No! Just two glasses of the best red fruit wine..." Leon said.

"Don't, I'm really kidding. I can't cheat you. This glass of red fruit wine is 200 gold coins!" The old lion saw that Leon was serious and quickly dissuaded him, "It's not easy to make money here. You can't spend it casually!"

Two hundred gold coins and a glass of wine? This price is really tricky, but it's nothing to Leon.

Recently, Salling is said to be fighting gold. He is not as rich as a country, but he is also rich. It's really a small thing to spend hundreds of gold coins.

But I casually threw out a few hundred gold coins and only bought two glasses of cider, which was too dazzling to show my wealth. As a newcomer, this kind of behavior is definitely asking for trouble.

"Two hundred gold coins, is this made of gold?" Leon had to show a wry smile: "Brother Gucci, next time I make a lot of money, I will definitely treat you to a good drink!"

"That's right!" The old lion breathed a sigh of relief: "Ordinary cider is fine, and don't order food. I'm full. The bread here needs two gold coins!"

Although the glorious continent and the secret land of the holy land are connected by a transmission array, the cost of transmission is extremely high. Except for some necessities, most of the materials, including food weapons, rely on the self-sufficiency of the fortress.

The barbarian fortress is stationed with 3,000 garrisons all year round. Before the arrival of the beast tide, it will increase to 10,000. Usually, the materials produced by the fortress are mainly supplied to the garrison, and the things sold to adventurers are few and expensive, especially the price of grain is extremely high.

A half-pound rye bread in the restaurant and bar in the fortress costs two gold coins. The same bread is only three or four copper coins in the glorious continent, and the gap is not ordinary.

"Meat is cheaper, because there are many beasts and warcraft in the forest..." Gucci drank all the wine in one go and motioned the bartender to add to him: "And it's also very expensive to stay in a hotel. If you plan to practice in the Holy Land for a long time, you'd better buy a house here. If you have more money, you can buy a sexy woman..."

The old lion showed an ambiguous smile on his face: "When I came back from hunting, someone served me to cook. The warm quilt is very good."

"A lustful woman?" Leon was stunned. He was stunned.

"Well, look at that bar girl. They are the natives of the first realm of the Holy Land..." Gucci motioned with his eyes.

Leon followed his eyes and saw three or four slender and fit girls in the bar, with silver plates in their hands shuttling between the wine tables and delivering drinks and food.

These girls have chestnut skin, long black hair and blue eyes. Although they are not very beautiful, they are tall and convex, and their thick lips are very surnamed.

The Semu people are the aborigines of the first realm of the Holy Land. It is said that they are the relics of ancient civilizations in the secret land, but they live a very primitive life in the big forest. Their tribes are all over the place. However, with the arrival of the adventurers of the four ethnic groups of the mainland, the original peaceful life of the Semu people was disrupted, especially the emergence of the beast tide. They brought a disaster of destruction.

"In the first, second and third realms of the Holy Land, there are indigenous people. The Semu people are good at jungle fighting, but their ordinary strength is not strong. The human race and the elves often plunder them as slaves, that is, we are equal to them." Gucci said, "In addition to the threat of the beast tide, people often enter the barbarian fortress to seek protection. At present, there are about 2,000 multi-colored people in the fortress."

"They also have to live. Men work for the gagrest, and there are more women. As long as you can afford it, they are willing to sell themselves."
