Chapter 205: Objections are invalid
When Gillentina says she wants to go to the City of Splendor or the City of Friendship, Drew tries to convince her several times to make her destination the City of Splendour, but it backfires, and both Gillentina and his teammates prefer to go to the City of Friendship, which has become famous in recent years.
In terms of biological age, the members of Gillentina's Adventure Party are all young people. Although the age difference between them is very large due to the different life cycles of the races, even the oldest Marl is only about 24 years old when converted to a human being. Whether on the planet or in the world of Fit, it is one of the most basic behaviors for young people to pursue trends. Therefore, compared to the glorious city that has long been famous in the Ella continent, they are more inclined to visit the most famous maple city in the world of Fit, that is, the city of friendship.
"Although I didn't really like the Ice Moon Priest for personal reasons, it didn't stop me from going to the city he built to relax myself and my teammates. In recent years, I've heard elven students from Brilliant City College say that Maple City is a paradise on earth, and their eyes are always sparkling when they talk about Maple City. To be honest, if I hadn't been ashamed to see my sister in the past few years, I would have gone back to the Elven Kingdom to see the city that is called a paradise on earth. ”
Gillentina was thrilled at the mention of Maple City, apparently from the Brilliant City cadets' descriptions of its extreme lethality. Besides, I don't know if it was intentional, Mal's drunken and frivolous words completely made Drew's efforts to persuade his teammates useless.
"I've heard that Maple City's business district is very famous, and it's a good place for the profiteers of the Greenskins to rack their brains. I heard that there are a lot of kinds of goods there, whether it is food, clothing, or use, you can see that you will be dizzy. I heard that there are many hotels that sell good liquor, and the prices are very reasonable. If that's the case, I'd rather go to Maple City, because the most famous royal wine in the City of Splendor doesn't seem to be worth hundreds of gold coins. ”
Marr must have been thinking about his jar, but after the first half of this sentence reached the ears of the ladies, Drew was pretty sure that they had completely become some kind of desolate beast to men! Whether in a previous life or in this life, Drew has seen countless ladies with such eyes, and when a woman's eyes become like this, she has already put all her thoughts on the word shopping.
Sure enough, when the team voted, the two ladies did not hesitate to vote for the City of Friendship, and with Mal's vote, the City of Friendship already had half of the votes of the team. Although Drew voted against it early, he paled in the face of 3 votes.
What's more, at the end, Huckwal and Mayfly did not hesitate to stab Drew.
"Captain, you're planning to return to the Elven Kingdom this winter, aren't you?"
While Drew was still there desperately objecting, Hackwal asked such an inconsequential question. This made Gillentina, who was arguing with Drew, obviously stunned, and Drew also looked at Hakwal with great surprise as he shifted the topic to 108,000 miles away.
"Ah...... Uh-huh. Do you want to ask if I am coming back here this winter? ”
"Yes."
"If I had decided to go to Maple City, I wouldn't have been back this year. I hadn't seen my sister and brother-in-law in years, and they missed them, and I wanted to sweep the graves of my dad and mom, so if I had been to Maple City, I would have spent the winter in my own house. Why do you ask this? ”
"Well, it's to arrange next year's things, you'll naturally know later."
After receiving an answer from Gillentina, Huckvar did not give Gillentina a clear answer, but asked Drew something again.
"I also want to ask what is the distance between that Maple City and the City of Life in Lexa? How many days will it take? ”
"Depending on the amount of gold you pay, there are several grades. If you take a carriage, it should be less than 2 months at present, if you ride a horse, it may be about 1 month, if you choose to fly to the city of life, it should be about 8-10 days, if you are lucky enough to meet a dragon who is willing to carry you to the city of life, it may only take 1-4 days, of course, if you want to use the teleportation array, you only need to queue for a short time. ”
Because Drew has built a lot of roads in the Elven Kingdom, and between the major cities of the Elves, Drew has paved one after another spacious avenues comparable to the highways of the previous life. The convenient transportation has made it much easier to travel between the major cities of the elves than before, after all, the time spent on the road is at least one-third less than before.
But Drew was not satisfied with this, for the sake of the external transportation of the City of Friendship, Drew also discussed with Kapapacashi Gold Coin for a long time, and finally added two high-end transportation methods: flying and teleportation array. The large flying monsters that serve as mounts are provided by the goblins (the dragons occasionally make cameos to get off the plane for personal reasons), and the flight direction is tentatively set in the three cities of Life City, Seximee City, and Brilliant City, which is more expensive than riding a carriage or horseback; The elves came forward to set up a teleportation array between the City of Life and the City of Friendship, and the price was extremely high, even in order to maintain this incomparably sophisticated teleportation array for many years.
"How much does it cost to take a carriage or fly over?"
"The carriage is not expensive, according to the different grades of the carriage, 3-10 silver coins are enough for the whole journey, and it also includes food. If you fly over, it's 1 gold, and if you're lucky enough to encounter a dragon, it's probably free. ”
"Then Lexa, can you take me to the magic area in the library of the City of Life to open my eyes?"
When Hakvar was studying in the Magic Tower, he learned through some books that there was such a magical library on the continent of Ella that covered tens of thousands of years of culture, and his dream at that time was to be able to enter this magical library to observe the elves' understanding of magic. When he went through an adventure with Drew this year, he found that this early dream seemed to have a chance to come true—he remembered that if he was recommended by a priest of the Golden Order or above, foreigners could also get access to the library of the City of Life without causing trouble.
Hackwal had the idea of asking Drew to enter the Retainer's library a few days ago, so when Gillentina first mentioned the City of Friendship, his first thought was to stop by the library in the City of Life to fill his head.
(You can really find the right person, you guy!) I guess it would be a good choice to switch to a prophetic mage or something. )
Drew's inner complaint is also very reasonable.
The City of Life Library has a considerable degree of threshold even for the elves themselves: ordinary civilians can only read in the lobby, professionals can go to a place that lives one level higher than their own rank, and the Holy Rank area is hardly open...... Wait. Being able to soak in various areas of the library all day long like Drew was entirely due to the fact that **** turned on the green light at that time.
Even being so strict with the inside of the clan is of course making it difficult for outsiders to try to prevent them from entering. Unless it's a guy with a frank personality and a lot of power like Deca Red Dragon, other races will have to go through layers of checks to get into the library before they have a little hope. Of course, the hardest part of the process is the first step in getting into the library - getting a letter of recommendation from an elf who has the right to make recommendations.
The elves as a whole are a relatively exclusive race, and there is a considerable degree of exclusivity among the elven nobles, and the problem is that these nobles often have the right to write letters of recommendation. Although in the past few years, due to the various policies issued and implemented by the Elven King Kasha and Drew, more foreigners have come to the Elven Kingdom, which has reduced this sentiment a lot, but it is still not too easy for many races to obtain the friendship of the Elven race.
Every year, there are countless tourists who come to the City of Life from all over the world to see the most famous library, but very few can actually enter the library, and even fewer can enter the professional area. What was in it was the crystallization of tens of thousands of years of experience of the elven race, and the amount and preciousness of the knowledge it contained was simply not something that ordinary saint-level powerhouses could imagine.
Of course, these rules turned into a blank slate when faced with Drew, one of the guardians of the elven race, the high priest of the moon god, and the cash cow of the elven kingdom. If Drew wanted to, then he wouldn't have any problem pulling all the guys he knew to the librarianship for a banquet. Drew has brought enough to the elves over the years, and no one will mind enjoying some privileges or something. Of course, if Drew could be quieter and not make trouble, the Elven Guardians would be happier.
When Huckvar learns that Drew will be able to take him into the City of Life library, he votes for the City of Friendship without saying a word. Of course, at this time, he understood that Drew was able to bring him in as Drew could give him a letter of recommendation, he didn't think that Gillentina chose to accept Drew last year, and this year they treated Drew with their hearts and included him in the team, and after he Hackwal already had a lot of privileges in the elven clan.
Of course, Drew is currently annoyed by Hakwal's "betrayal".
As for the mayfly, he first shouted to his teammates when Gillentina asked him to vote. According to Frémi, he must have gone to his rat's nest (the thieves' union). When he got back to the hotel, he didn't say much, but looked at Gillentina silently with one eye.
Without even thinking about it, the destination of the Gillentina Adventure Group chose the City of Friendship with an absolute majority of 5 votes in favor and 1 vote against.
