The dark green canopy blocks out the sunlight, and the dirty, oil-stained tarpaulin almost blends in with the dirty floor of the port. The cacophony of people ranged from weary crew members, to idle dock workers, to ordinary citizens who coveted cheap and fresh seafood.

This is the 'old place' written on the mayor's agenda, with a map in the shape of an owl in Barton City, and a port seafood restaurant on the left ear, perhaps a canteen.

Anthony took off his formal attire, rolled up his sleeves, and sat among a crowd of civilians and workers, not too conspicuous except for a little white skin. What stands out is Zack, who is well-dressed, fairer-skinned, and has a straight face.

The two men sitting at a small round table piled high with crabs were silent with each other, their eyes pointing in different directions.

This is not a boring game of 'whoever speaks first loses', it is the first time that two friends have their own hearts and don't want to talk for a while. It's the two people who met with their own troubles, and they were speechless after being embarrassed when they met each other.

The embarrassment came from Anthony not knowing that Zach would come alone and ordered a table full of crabs and beer for Benjamin. And so it turned out.

The conversation is about to start after all, Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, putting aside the Tempesta of Torredo and Papa Midnight in his thoughts...... A bunch of 'trifles', Anthony who looked at the opposite side of the road, was blocked by the crab shells piled high, pursed his lips, "It's wasted." ”

"Waste is waste. Anthony took a deep breath and responded. He readjusted his expression, and he didn't know what 'trivialities' in his mind he had put aside, and he was ready to speak.

Zach suddenly raised an eyebrow, and he remembered something, "Don't you know that Benjamin is going to leave Barton for a while?"

Anthony tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I know you're not going to the republic anymore." With an irritated wave, "Don't talk to me, I'm just staring at Grande." "Look beyond the crab shell. Glancing at Zach, "Don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately!"

Zach spread his hands and smiled, "We never hid it." "Zach won't admit it, the mayor is concerned about Grande's movements, does he need a reason......

Zach brushes aside the unsightly human food. "Do you know where Benjamin went?"

Anthony snorted and grabbed a crab leg, "James is also on leave, let's go together." That's going to Newton. The glittering silver pincers clamped on the thick crab legs, 'click', and there was a moment of impatience on Anthony's face, "Hmph, Newton's comic show." ”

"Oh?" Zach looked at Anthony with some curiosity. "Do you know about Comic-Con, a new hobby? Why don't I know?"

"Tsk!" Anthony pouted, tearing at the shell impatiently, "At this time of year, Barton has a bunch of 'enthusiastic citizens' who send a petition to the mayor's office, asking Barton to host the Comic Con as well. ”

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, and the vampire's mood improved slightly. This is a simple and beautiful little thing in a complex reality. Zach, who is not in a good mood at this time, needs this little idealistic thing to purify his mood. Why? Because there is such a group of 'zealous citizens' in Barton who are bent on making Barton their ideal home.

Speaking of these 'zealous citizens'. Of course, we know which group of people it is. Moreover, there is a relationship between the characters - David, Fitz, Cowson, James, Grande, the director of Cologne, and the mayor (Volume 1) who has been bitten to death by Alpha at the beginning of the year.

Perhaps Anthony would not have wasted his time paying attention to the petitions of these 'zealous citizens'. Now, I have to pay attention.

"But seriously. Zach decided to use the topic as a spice for the mood, "Why hasn't Barton done a comic con?"

Anthony's eating was not very good, and he glanced at Zach with some hideousness, "Do you really want to know? This is what you asked me to say?

Zach shook his head. Honestly, "The next thing I'm going to say is heavy, it's just a light chat, to relax." ”

Anthony tugged at the corners of his mouth and snorted lukewarmly, "Agreed." Take your liking. Answer, there is no venue, Barton lacks a venue that can host a large event. ”

Zach didn't care about Anthony's 'agree', it was obvious that Anthony also had something heavy to say to Zach! On the point of relaxation, the two reached an agreement, now to relax, "Is it missing?

Anthony shook his head, "Back Bay? Hmph! Do you know how much work it took for Back Bay to change from a small activity center to a stadium that is now recognized by the Federation? The last thing you need is to put a bunch of dolls and toys in it and turn it into an exhibition hall!"

Zach blinked, did Anthony mean to maintain the symbolic significance of Back Bay? No, Anthony was talking about how difficult it is to cultivate the identity of a city.

"Liszt, hehe. Anthony shook his head and sneered as he pulled the crab shell, "Why don't you say Becky." ”

I don't know if you remember that there was a conversation between Quest's younger brother, the young couple who had been sent to the middle of the Federation by No, "I'm tired of everything on Liszt Street, I want something new, I want to take an adventure." (Vol. 4)

"You mean to say......" Zach thought for a moment, "Liszt, it's already ......" Zach considered the wording, "saturated." ”

Anthony nodded directly. Becky is an example of this, the once Barton center, which began to decline after saturation, and the established impression of it was filled with neon, alcohol, and cheap pleasures at night.

Speaking of which, it seems that it is time for Liszt to introduce new gadgets, otherwise he will follow in Betsy's footsteps. But Mayor Anthony apparently didn't think so, for the simple reason -

Becky's initial development around the train station, the transportation hub meant that it needed to provide enough entertainment for the flow of people, so there were a large number of bars, clubs, hotels......

Now when we talk about Becky's decline, is it really declining compared to the rest of Barton, which has become increasingly urbanized? No, but Patton is the most vibrant place for nightlife! So much so that the city government has to force the rectification to provide a suitable atmosphere for teenagers at Reipt High School......

To do urban planning with function, Betch is entertainment, and Liszt is business.

"Comic Con that kind of thing, talking about entertainment, is too niche. Speaking of business, there are risks. Anthony shook his head, "It's more in line with culture, Barton doesn't even have his own historical and cultural street, where can I find a place for them to do a comic exhibition!"

So in Anthony's eyes, it's a matter of urban development.

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, which can be regarded as comfort, and it can be regarded as a transition to the topic, "Is there a place for Comic Con, I really don't know." But you talk about Barton's own history, its own culture. Zach raised an eyebrow, "There will be a place for it soon, museums, exhibitions, memorials." Zach looked at Anthony with a clear smile, "Mayor, you're already planning." ”

Any idea what Zach is talking about?

The history and culture of Barton, and the Hermann factory, which is about to be closed, is full of memories of the Barton era, and it is not a pity not to use it.

Well, before the main topic, the comic exhibition where relaxation is used to talk about it is a good topic. (To be continued......)
