Act Twenty-Six: Prosperity (I)

Standing under the city gate, looking at the most prosperous city in another world, Avis felt a little shocked.

Of course, he has seen many bustling cities in the game, and the majestic city built at the foot of the Sage Tower of the Holy Mountain is enough to make anyone's heart palpitate, not to mention the modern cities made of steel and concrete, which are magnificent enough to stun anyone in this multiverse. But none of this can describe the grandeur of the city in front of you.

Standing under the city gate and looking up, a snow-white mountain, clouds surrounded this snow-white peak, and a bitter cold wind blew downward, bringing moisture and precious raindrops here. The ground was not a blank of yellow sand, but some low green grass. But on the other side, as far as the eye can see, the yellow sand is still pervasive, so this qiē forms such a picture in front of me: barren desert, green life, towering cities, and snow-capped mountains...... When a qiē is connected together, it gives people the feeling of being extremely shocking.

He pulled down the brim of his hat slightly, covering his pointed ears, and wore a long black coat with a delicate machete pinned to his waist. Avis walked into the bustling city first.

Meader, in the language of this world, means 'protected by God'. This is indeed a rare pure land in the last days - the minerals dug up in the mountains make it never short of merchants, the moisture brought by the mountains provides a small amount of rainfall, and the unique geographical location of this place makes this qiē seem to be a paradise protected by the gods, one of the few happy lands in the last days.

There are certain fees to go into town, and Jessica has already paid for them. And Ives didn't want to act with Jessica, and being with her could make a lot of things easier, but Ives wasn't here for a vacation. He needed to see if he could find any information about the dragonmen - if the dragonmen were attacking the human settlements, they must be plotting something, and in the largest human settlement, Ives would surely find someone who knew about it.

Not to mention anything else, the headquarters of the thief organization that is all over the Big 6 is here, and it is convenient to come here instead of trying your luck in other cities.

Avis and Ge Tongluo said goodbye to Jessica, took the currency of the world they had received from her, and entered the city. Of course, I have to say that Jessica's pestering energy was really difficult to break free from when she said goodbye.

"Actually, I think if you work harder, you can get her on it. The bed went. ”

Ge Tongluo suddenly said this without a head. Knowing what he meant, Avis said angrily, "I don't think you need any effort. ”

"I don't have much interest in women." The corners of Ge Tongluo's mouth suddenly outlined a mocking smile. Ives subconsciously thought of something bad, so he looked at Ge Tongluo with a surprised gaze - this person was still wearing a cloak, so people couldn't see his face clearly, but he should be very handsome. After all, he has elven blood in his body......

This guy can't really be that, I'm not interested in that kind of thing!

So Ge Tongluo was surprised to see that Ives looked at his face with a hint of vigilance, he was a little strange, but he didn't care too much. Although Avis can appear very wise in times of crisis, most of the time, the young mage seems a little out of tune, he is used to it.

Walking into Middel City and seeing the merchants coming and going, Avis said with some surprise: "I really didn't expect that there would be people who could build such a prosperous city in the last days. ”

"So never underestimate any civilization." Ge Tongluo said approvingly, "But then again, if there are no accidents, you'd better not reveal that you're a half-elf mage...... If you don't want to be in the limelight. The wanderer said as he hid himself under a wide cloak, no one knowing what kind of weapon was held in his hands under the cloak. He was always on the alert, and it saved his life countless times. Avis just looked at the wanderer, but didn't say anything, because he knew that Ge Tongluo's words would not be said just like that.

"Spotlight can certainly give you great spiritual satisfaction." Ge Tongluo then spoke, his tone was his usual low and hoarse, "And it can indeed bring some benefits." But it will also put you in the most hated position. It's not a good idea for you to stand in the brightest position of your own, leaving plenty of shadows for your enemies to hide......"

"Well, maybe you're right." Avis nodded, "I wasn't going to expose it in the first place, though. He tugged at the brim of his black hat, covering his pointed ears. Being a half-elf can sometimes be convenient, but as Ge Tongluo said, it can also bring a lot of trouble.

"Really? That's good. ”

There were many people in this huge city, and there were not a few of them dressed like this, so they were not at all conspicuous. After a while, Avis and Ge Tongluo came to an inn. They walked in, and Ives pulled out the currency, which looked like a bottle cap, and was actually called that, and walked up to the innkeeper, "A room." ”

Whatever you want to do, find a place to take a good shower. This is what Ge Tongluo said. The boss was silent for a moment, then saw the bottle cap that Ives handed over, and laughed, "You're lucky, there's only one extra room left...... It's the peak season for trading. ”

Avis nodded, and before he could say anything, a voice rang in his ears. It was a somewhat muffled voice, with a hint of arrogance in his intonation, and a kind of yin and yang tail note that belonged to the aristocracy. This kind of aristocratic grammar was too difficult for Ives to understand for a beginner in the language, but he could still roughly understand what this man meant by listening to the root words.

"Is there only one room? That's right, leave this room to me. ”

What the other party said was much more beautiful than this sentence, but Ives couldn't understand it, so he could only translate it into such a simple sentence. Avis looked back at the brother in front of him—he was dressed in a pale red robe, with fluffy mink fur at the edges of the robe, a fine ornament on his head, and a fan in his hand, and he looked like a rich man. Ives wanted to ask 'who are you?' but in the end he held back and just looked at this person curiously.

After thinking for a while, did I come across the legendary 'aristocratic class' with eyes on the top of my head?

"You should be honored to give way to the noble Son of God." The nobleman said to Avis with a raised eye. Aavies frowned, he was in a self-conscious position before he crossed over. By the people. The Lord's society, after crossing over, is a noble mage, with a noble status, and I have never met such a rude person. And Ge Tongluo knew what he wanted to do when he saw Avis frowning, so he tugged at the placket of his shirt and shook his head. Ives also felt that he didn't need to be like this kind of flower that grew up in a greenhouse, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing Ives retreat, this noble kid became even more proud, and his face was raised, and he seemed to be very proud.

Ives sighed, some of the truly talented people tend to keep a low profile, while those who don't have a manuscript in their belly like to spread it around. He really didn't understand what that noble son had to be proud of, you are the son of God, but it is not you who makes you glorious, but your ancestors.

Ge Tongluo looked around, and then said: "The hotel you chose is too high-grade, let's choose an ordinary hotel......" They were in the middle of the city, and the decoration of the hotel behind them was also clean and beautiful, and it didn't look low-grade. This is also one of the reasons why it is almost full of people, and the pursuit of high-end luxury consumption is the psychology of every noyster.

Avis said helplessly: "It's very average here, okay?" "Whether it is from his modern perspective or the vision of a noble mage, this inn is very ordinary, not even a star-rated hotel," Besides, choosing a more formal hotel can save you a lot of trouble, you don't want to run into a black shop or a thief, right? ”

"I've seen a true nobleman...... According to you, it's a local tyrant. Ge Tongluo sighed and said, "But we really don't need to sleep in too luxurious places, no one in this world can succeed in hacking a wise mage, and for this world, I am the most powerful thief." So let's change to a normal hotel, no problem. ”

"Okay, listen to you." Ives finally said helplessly, and the two of them continued to walk down the street. After walking a little further, the furnishings of the surrounding shops are not so prosperous, but reveal a dilapidated feeling. Avis frowned a little—he had little contact with the dark side of these societies, after all. But Ge Tongluo is different, he can even be said to have grown up in a similar environment, so he didn't show a surprised look at all. And for him, any city, no matter how prosperous it is, will have similar places. The gap between the rich and the poor, no matter in which world it is, is an objective fact.

In the end, they chose a clean-looking inn that was quite cheap, about a third of the price of the bustling hotel.

ps: I'm in a good mood today, haha.
