Chapter 212: Mountain City
Turning over the small mountain range, there was a small town, mixed with a total population of 200,000, and at first glance it seemed to him that it was not bad, and they had just entered the city without looking around.
Albert is taking something from his own space, from a gap suspended in mid-air, the size of the opening is enough, to be exact, this is a space link, through the runes on the body to open a channel, the space has never been anywhere on his body, it has been staying in the space crack, for example, the space is compared to a house, the link left through the space gem is the key to open the door, except for one person can only have one, and the space that has been linked will return to the beginning after the link is cut off, the space gap state, can not be transferred, they are all the sameγ
People who are skilled enough to open other people's personal space are actually similar to lockpickers from another point of view, but this kind of lock needs some skills to open, and don't think about getting started without practicing for more than ten or twenty years.
The economy of the small town in front of him is not developed, and the living conditions of the residents are average, but this place still makes him feel good, no matter what kind of place, in his eyes, it is good in its own way.
The living conditions in the village are poor, and the trading is not convenient, but the people are relatively simple, close to nature, and the living conditions in the town are not very good, but the life is leisurely, and there is no need to rush to do anything, the economic conditions of the small town are not very good, but the pace of life is slow, and a lot of time can be freed up to do some hobbies, the pace of life in the big city is fast, the consumption level is high, and the pressure of life is high, but there are many opportunities, work hard, and always be able to break out of the sky, at least there can be a lot of savings.
In fact, there is a particularly strange situation now.
The people in the village sharpened their heads and squeezed into the city, and the people in the city squeezed into the village with their lives.
What happened in China in the past few decades, in this country that does not know how long it is before industrialization, but it is quite normal, the center of gravity of the country's economic development is the earliest in the cities, in contrast, the consumption level of the village and the city people are far apart, the economic conditions are still a lot worse, in recent years, in order to increase the number of people, the state encourages childbearing, in order to reduce the gap between the countryside and the city, the state vigorously supports agricultural production, but it will take time for the effect of those measures to begin to appear.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, including the overall improvement of physical fitness, the extension of life expectancy, the shortening of rest time, the convenience brought by magic, the water [canal, boat], land [caravan, professional transport team], air [bird magic pet, captive-bred bipedal wyvern, flying] and various modes of transportation.
It has crossed some stages in some respects, but it is already close to its peak, and it will not be possible to increase it unless the productivity is increased by a level, industrialization, or a massive increase in the number of people.
Traditionally, the kingdom called Avaranga, where magic has infiltrated all aspects of life, has even managed to do something that is considered black technology from the perspective of this era.
For example, the express delivery that must arrive on the 15th.
Although limited to various conditions, there are restrictions on the volume and weight of the transported goods, the benefits of relay express delivery are still very good, in fact, the express delivery that is sent to all parts of the country is like a baton to be sent to various regions, and the government personnel in the creation of the [Express Alliance] specifically calculated the difference between the average flight distance limit of adult wizards and the flight speed and distance after adjustment in the case of equal magic power, and selected a reasonable distance to place the express delivery station.
Express items will basically not stay in one place for more than two hours in the process of turnover, and can barely be regarded as a non-stop turnover of 29 hours a day on the 15th, and all 435 hours are "on the road".
The staff involved in the turnover in the middle include human wizards, elves, orcs, bipedal wyvern breeders, all kinds of flying monsters, countless employees are now in the relay race of time opponents, not as fast as the plane can be delivered on the same day, but also do the best, the final charge depends on the volume and weight of the express letter, just to transport a bird egg in a small box will charge a silver coin.
Then you should know how expensive it is, but this method is still widely used and widely praised by the public, after all, the cost of delivering the letter in such a short period of time and guaranteeing whether the letter is damaged or not is indeed very cheap.
Their slogan "National Express, Mission Must Be Achieved" is never empty words.
The two walked on the main road, looking at the passers-by.
"I don't know if there's a hair care shop here. The water vapor in front of Cecilia condensed, turned into ice crystals, and turned into a mirror, she conjured the ears on the top of her head, carefully examined the fluff, and looked very worried, "I feel a lot worse... β
"That's normal, a chain reaction of parasites and germs dying in the body. He took out a piece of candy and threw it into his mouth, "Although it has been a long time since that mass death, it is still gradually spreading its effects throughout the body, it just has no luster now, and it will become brighter in the future." β
"I know, you know what I'm thinking, right?" "Well, you want to groom your hair during this time, and when it's over, it'll be the same as before." "I know you're still asking?" "Wouldn't it be nice to just let the hair reflect a little more light?" "That's different." β
Giving way, a rickshaw passed in front of him, and the orc guy pulling the cart beckoned, and under a very loose trouser, the hooves made a loud knock when they touched the ground.
The children threw the ball at each other as they flew, and although it was right above their heads, no one looked at it, and no one dodged when they missed it, because the ball would be caught with telekinesis.
As the cleaning truck drove on the side of the road, an old lady held up the garbage can, and dumped the garbage into the car specially used to put garbage.
Farther away, you can see a specially vacated place, the high canopy covers an area of hundreds of square meters, the air roots penetrate through the specially set aside holes into the soil to support the huge body, several old people are sitting on the public chairs under the trees to chat and rest, enjoy a comfortable afternoon, they don't seem to have the habit of napping, but prefer to take a walk in the afternoon, there are many people walking on the street, walking unhurriedly, the sound of the melodica can be faintly heard, the tune is also very good.
In addition to those old people, there are also two big guys with piercing eyes, a giant wolf with a length of three meters, and an ordinary dog.
The wolf with shiny black hair is not a wolf, it is a werewolf, a werewolf child, and the things sensed by the spiritual power can be used as evidence, the werewolf child is lying on the ground like a lazy dog in the form of a giant wolf, and as for the dog, it is most likely a pet raised by the werewolf child's family.
The slow-paced life of a small town may not be aware of it by the locals, but for the big city, it is very attractive.
