To Xiao Bai, getting to know these people from the 36th Fortress was also an unexpected gain.
They were a group of very pure people.
The young people living in the Three Great Empires found it hard to imagine that there was such a place as the Frontline Stronghold. It was hard to imagine that the people here spent their entire lives fighting against the creatures that crawled out of the Milky Way.
In their lives, there was not much to be found that had anything to do with amusement, much less anything to do with enjoyment.
To them, being able to quickly improve themselves and kill more of the creatures that crawled out of the Milky Way was their goal in life. To be able to eat delicious meat from the Milky Way was already a blissful enjoyment.
To the people of the Three Great Empires, this was unbelievable.
Even though the Three Great Empires were shrouded by the dark clouds of the Protoss, one only needed to look at the major cities that celebrated peace and prosperity.
To be born in the Three Great Empires was a great blessing.
It was also for this reason that Xiao Bai was willing to leave behind a portion of his talisman techniques for Old Tang and the young people here to learn.
It was for no other reason than the fact that he had been here and seen it.
Maple City was much larger than expected. The towering city walls were at least a thousand meters tall!
The city walls were as smooth as a mirror. Even with their eyesight, they could not tell what material the gray walls were made of.
As they neared, they could clearly feel the energy of a boundary slowly flowing around the city walls.
At the same time, cannons were lined up neatly at the top of the city walls. It was a daunting sight.
There were also some statue-like figures standing guard on top of the city walls.
But what was strange was that there were no gates around the city walls.
Old Tang explained attentively to Shirō Makino, "The Frontline Stronghold cannot have gates. No matter how sturdy a gate is, it will be difficult to defend against the powerful and terrifying creatures of the Milky Way. This city wall is also made of a special material. This material can only be found in one place in the entire Frontline Stronghold. That is why it is not easy to build a city. "
"This is completely different from a human city." Shirō Makino sighed.
"Yes, I have been to the human world once, about 20 years ago. I have seen the prosperity of the human world and the speed at which you humans build cities. It is truly amazing. However, that kind of city was not suitable for the previous continent. Any Emperor-level being from the Milky Way could easily destroy it. "
Shirō Makino nodded. He had thought that there were very few experts in this world, but after coming here, he realized that it wasn't that there were very few experts in this world, it was just that his knowledge was shallow.
"Actually, your ancestors were already very powerful. They traveled from the distant Milky Way Galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years before arriving here. Then, it only took a few thousand years for it to develop to an astonishing level. If it wasn't for the Protoss's sudden attack, I believe that the number of top-notch experts that emerged from the three empires in the past eight thousand years would not be small. After all, your population base is too large! "
Shirō Makino smiled and nodded, "There's strength in numbers."
Old Tang also felt a little rueful. He looked at Shirō Makino and said, "For example, there hasn't been a single person like Master Bai in the previous continent for countless years. There are a few outstanding Soul Warriors, but there isn't a single person with the special occupation of Talisman Artist.
"You flatter me." Shirō Makino smiled modestly.
Their spaceship was soon allowed to enter.
Still in the sky, the crowd looked at the rows of neatly arranged gray houses that exuded a magnificent aura. They all felt that it was a little fresh.
"This city has a population of about two million people. The families of more than ten strongholds live in it. If you haven't been to the three empires, you will also feel that this place is very prosperous. "Old Tang smiled as he introduced to Shirō Makino.
Looking at the bustling scene below, Shirō Makino nodded and said, "Actually, it's not bad! It's just that the clothes of the people here are more similar to the ancient era of the Milky Way Galaxy. "
"The clothing here hasn't changed much since time immemorial. Moreover, most of the clothes here are made of top-notch materials that won't rot even after ten thousand years. They are also dustproof, fireproof, and waterproof. So speaking of which, it's quite good. "Old Tang said.
Everyone's eyes lit up. How was this just 'quite good'?
Indestructible, dustproof, waterproof, and fireproof … these were real treasured clothes!
Although the clothes of the three empires were also made of various top-notch high-tech materials and also had the aforementioned functions, most of them were used for aesthetic purposes.
Only those battle suits were mainly used for actual combat.
However, those battle suits that were mass-produced would at most be of some use to those below the Grandmaster level. In the face of a martial grandmaster, the effects of those high-tech equipment would be minimal.
As for those handmade top-notch battle suits, not only were there very few in existence, but their prices … were not something that ordinary people could afford.
Although the Fu Long Battle Team was very rich, if they wanted to buy a god-level battle suit, no matter how much money they had, it would be very difficult to buy one!
Unless they were using something of the same level to exchange, and that person had to be willing to exchange with you.
Shan Gu looked at Old Tang and asked, "Senior, what grade are those treasured clothes?"
Old Tang was a very honest person. He loved the house and its crow, and he was also very respectful to Master Bai's companions.
He smiled and said, "If you like it, I can give you some later. Most of the clothes here are at the Grandmaster level."
"Grandmaster level? Does that mean that they can withstand the attack of a Grandmaster? "Shan Gu's eyes lit up.
Many people's eyes also lit up.
At this moment, the spaceship had already landed in a huge space center. After stopping, Old Tang led everyone out as he said, "It can't be said that they can withstand the attack of a Grandmaster. If the attack lands on the clothes, of course it can be blocked, but it's not absolute. If you stand there without moving and let a Grandmaster attack, your defense can be broken very quickly. Furthermore, during a battle, the enemy can't just focus on your body, right? The head and neck are the most vulnerable parts to attack. "
Shan Gu said, "Then are there any helmets, equipment to protect the neck?"
Old Tang glanced at Shan Gu and was about to speak when Jin Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, there are knight suits made of top-notch green divine gold. They can be armed to the teeth!"
"Wow, can we buy them?" Shan Gu was pleasantly surprised, but then he thought of something and looked at Jin Zheng. "Green?"
"Yes, it symbolizes the aura of life!" Jin Zheng said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Shan Gu looked at Jin Zheng with a frown.
Jin Zheng looked confused as he looked at the others who were also looking at him strangely. "Did I say something wrong?"
Shan Gu said, "No, you didn't say anything wrong. That is indeed the color of life!"
Jin Zheng smiled. "I'll bring you to see it later. You can buy one if you like. Under normal circumstances, the things here are not for sale to outsiders, but with us around, there shouldn't be a problem. "
"Hehe, there's no need. We have important matters to attend to. I can't waste everyone's time." Shan Gu looked serious as he tried his best to explain.
The others were holding back their laughter and didn't explain to Jin Zheng.
Jin Zheng was confused. He didn't know anything and couldn't ask directly, so he could only lead the group to a few flying cars.
In the car, Jin Zheng said, "Speaking of which, flying cars are really good stuff. They are equivalent to great grandmaster-level flying artifacts, but even ordinary people can use them. We bought these flying cars from the three empires back then."
Shirō Makino had just realized that these flying cars looked quite old. If they were in the three empires, they would probably only be seen in the collections of some collectors.
They were much older than his old car.
But here, these flying cars were still well maintained and treated like treasures.
Shirō Makino thought to himself and asked, "Brother Jin, have you never thought of leaving this place and living in a world with a high concentration of humans like the three empires?"
"Leave this place? Why do we have to leave this place? What's so bad about this place? "Jin Zheng asked a series of questions, his face full of confusion.
"This place is full of danger and life is precarious. The material conditions here are much worse than the three empires, right?" Shan Gu said.
Jin Zheng smiled and said, "If everyone here leaves, who will protect it? We were born to be protectors, and the meaning of our existence is to protect this place. The human world is good, but it's not a place we should go. "
This kind of thinking was difficult for many people to understand.
Deep in his heart, he even wondered if he was an idiot.
But at the same time, when they heard Jin Zheng's words, they all felt a deep sense of admiration.
They were really a group of very pure people. One didn't need to interact with them for too long to feel a deep sense of admiration for them.
The flying car finally landed in a quiet house. They must have received the news beforehand, as a few young men immediately appeared in front of them and welcomed Shirō Makino and the others.
After the group was settled, Jin Zheng and Old Tang invited Shirō Makino over.
When he saw the great general, the usually calm Xiao Bai couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and … pity.
In a quiet room, a haggard old man lay on the bed. If it wasn't for his strong senses, he would have thought that he was already dead.
The old man was so thin that his skin was only bones. His skin was an abnormal greenish-black color, and his eyes were sunken in. He lay there motionless.
"Great general, we've invited someone to treat you." Jin Zheng came to the great general's bed and said softly with red eyes.
At this time, the old man's finger twitched.
He stretched out an index finger and shook it slowly.
He … doesn't want to be treated?
Shirō Makino looked at Jin Zheng.
In the room, a gentle middle-aged woman, who seemed to be the great general's family member, said in a low voice with a sad expression, "He said that he's done for, so don't waste any more resources on him. His illness can't be cured."
The old man's finger slowly dropped.
Shirō Makino felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
"The great general has been fighting against the beings of the Milky Way his entire life. Even when he was heavily injured, he was still thinking about the fortress." Jin Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Shirō Makino, "So, Xiao Bai, please!"
Old Tang also said, "If we can cure the great general, we're willing to pay any price. We'll look for whatever materials we're lacking!"
Shirō Makino nodded. "Don't worry, I'll check on the great general's condition first."
Xiao Bai wasn't a doctor, nor did he know how to diagnose illnesses. However, his mind was filled with all sorts of top-notch medical talisman techniques!
The Talisman Artist's Encyclopedia also had detailed records of these medical talisman techniques, including precise descriptions of the diseases they were applicable to.
In the past, Xiao Bai's level was not high enough to decipher them. Now that he had reached the God-level, he had unlocked most of them.
At this time, the middle-aged woman quietly pulled Jin Zheng out of the room and closed the door. She stood at the doorway and asked softly, "Commander Jin Zheng, this man is so young … Will he be alright?"
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. All these years, the great general's wife had been disappointed countless times.
Each time, she was filled with strong hope, but in the end, there was only endless disappointment.
She was a little afraid.
Like the great general lying on his bed, waiting for his death, she had almost given up hope.
Jin Zheng nodded and said softly, "Madam, don't be fooled by his young age, don't be fooled by his face. He's a capable man!"
Xiao Bai was speechless. What do you mean by not be fooled by my face?
What's wrong with my face?
Outside the door, the great general's wife listened to Jin Zheng's introduction of Shirō Makino and could not help but look surprised.
She said softly, "He's so capable at such a young age?"
"Madam, one's ambition does not depend on age. Perhaps this time, the great general … really can be saved."
To be honest, Jin Zheng was also very unsure in his heart.
After all, no matter how powerful Shirō Makino was, no one knew if he had any accomplishments in the field of talisman medicine.
Hence, the great general's wife only nodded lightly and followed Jin Zheng back to the room.
The moment she pushed the door open, she heard Old Tang exclaim in surprise.
Jin Zheng was not very nervous, but the great general's wife disappeared in a flash. The next moment, she passed through the living room and entered the great general's bedroom, her powerful aura exploding.
However, she immediately retracted her aura and stared blankly at her husband, who had opened his eyes and was trying to sit up.
"This is …" Jin Zheng, who had followed her in, was also a little stunned.
"Miraculous! Miraculous! Master Bai's ability is really amazing! "Old Tang was excited, as happy as a seventy or eighty year old child.
The great general's wife had thought that something had happened, so she rushed in with her full aura. In the end, she saw a scene that caused her heart to tremble.
She was dumbfounded.
She stood there in a daze, looking at the emaciated old man on the bed. Her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace, but she did not seem to feel it.
"Why are you crying? That aura of killing enemies on the battlefield … where did my invincible female general go?" The old man's voice was very soft, so soft that it could not be heard if one did not listen carefully.
However, the gentle middle-aged woman cried even more fiercely. She covered her face with both hands and sobbed uncontrollably.
Jin Zheng's eyes were red. He first raised his head and turned his face to the side. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Shirō Makino and said softly, "Ever since three years ago, the great general has been unable to speak."
The middle-aged woman removed her hands. Her face was full of tears, but she still bowed to Shirō Makino and said, "Young Master, I overreacted just now. Please forgive me."
Shirō Makino smiled and said, "It's fine."
"Thank you, Young Master, for saving my husband!" The middle-aged woman bowed again.
Shirō Makino hurriedly returned the bow and said, "The great general's problem has not been solved. I only used the Cleansing Talisman to sort out the meridians in his body. The specific symptoms will have to be dealt with."
"I can still be saved?" The middle-aged woman helped the old man to lean against the headboard and looked at Shirō Makino.
Old Tang, Jin Zheng and the middle-aged woman all looked at Shirō Makino. Their eyes were filled with hope.
Shirō Makino nodded and said confidently, "He can be saved."
Phew!
The few of them let out a long breath at the same time.
"But …" Xiao Bai frowned slightly.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats again.
"There are some materials that I do not have with me. I can write them down and everyone can see where they can be found or bought." Xiao Bai did not keep them in suspense and said immediately.
"As long as it exists in this world, no matter where it is, we will find it!" Jin Zheng said seriously.
Then, Shirō Makino wrote down a few materials and the characteristics of these talisman materials and handed them to Old Tang.
Jin Zheng stretched his head over to take a look. As a layman, he could not understand what was going on.
Old Tang frowned and relaxed at times. After a while, he let out a long breath and looked at the old man and the middle-aged woman leaning against the headboard. "Great General, Madam, we will be able to gather some of these materials quickly. Even if we do not have them, I have heard of them and know where to find them!"
The great general leaned against the headboard. He was still very weak and said with some difficulty, "Will it be … difficult?"
Old Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry. You don't have to worry about these things. Just leave it to us!"
Then, Shirō Makino used some Cleansing Talismans on the great general and instructed him to rest well and not speak too much.
Everyone left the room and went to another room specially used for receiving guests.
The great general's wife followed them and personally brewed tea for everyone. Then, she looked at Old Tang and asked, "Will it be difficult?"
Old Tang was still smiling. "Madam, leave it to us …"
The great general's wife looked at Old Tang and did not say anything.
Old Tang scratched his head. "Most of these materials can be obtained, but there are two … that can only be found in enemy-occupied areas."
Hearing this, Jin Zheng and the great general's wife had solemn expressions on their faces. Beside them, Xiao Bai was confused.
Jin Zheng said softly, "Not all of the beings in the Milky Way are powerful and destructive but have low intelligence. Among them, there are many that are especially intelligent. After crawling out of the Milky Way and arriving here, they realized that it would be difficult to escape in a short period of time. Perhaps some of them did not want to escape at all, so they gathered here and formed their own forces. After so many years of development, some of these forces have already reached a certain scale. "
As Jin Zheng spoke, he could not help but sigh. "Over the years, we have tried to organize powerful forces to attack those places. Each time, we suffered heavy losses and were unable to truly conquer those places."
The great general's wife said, "The frontline is too big and there are many special places that are easy to defend and hard to attack. Even a group of Emperor-level experts would find it impossible to break through."
"So two of the materials that we are looking for can be found in such a place?" Shirō Makino asked Old Tang.
Old Tang nodded and looked at the middle-aged woman with a determined expression. "Madam, don't worry. Since there is hope for the great general to recover, we will definitely retrieve these two materials even if we have to sacrifice our lives!"
"No!"
The great general's wife rejected without hesitation.
She looked up at Old Tang with a serious expression and repeated, "No, I don't agree."
