Chapter 24: In and Out of the City

As the roads between towns and cities were connected, commerce and the movement of people began to sprout – even if the crops in the neighboring towns were similar at first, it could not stop people from buying and selling. On the one hand, I think that if our town grows such good food, we must sell it elsewhere to show off; On the other hand, they feel that when other towns come to sell grain, they must buy it back and taste it, and then systematically criticize it.

There are periodic fairs between towns, and at this time, the elves go out with their families to leave the town empty. The city elves enjoy the process of buying and selling, ostensibly trading, but in essence they are showing enthusiasm and sharing happiness.

Later, even the different fillings of mooncakes and the different methods of dumplings became the reason for buying and selling between towns...... Shen Yan had seen a hawker, pointing to the buns and saying that it was an ancestral round dumpling! made him so angry that he made all the buns into fried buns on the spot...... The peddler left sadly, feeling that he had lost faith in his life.

But when Shen Yan arrived in the next town, he was surprised to find that the hawker comrade was changing careers to sell ancestral fried buns! Business is exceptional.

Of course, there are people who sell goods in all directions, and there are people who go on the road alone and go away from home.

Some of these people want to start over in a different environment, some are looking for someone, and some just want to experience poetry and distant places...... Wave it.

Since these towns are all very well planned, each town has its own unique character, and even the houses have unique landmarks. Like the mill by the water, the windmill on the hill, the magic tower in Book Town, the beehive mushroom tree in King Bee Town, etc., when they appear in groups, they have a gorgeous temperament.

These buildings have a unique aesthetic appeal, so that the townspeople can't wait to build them just by looking at the virtual drawings, so that the town will become what it looks like in the pictures.

However, manpower is sometimes poor, and it can be expected that all towns will face the problem of manpower shortage during the urban construction cycle. Therefore, every town opened its doors to welcome outsiders to settle down.

Poetry and distance...... Hungry, right? Come, eat! Work! It's that simple!

"Where did you come from, where did you go?" An old elf asked, tugging at Asa Constance's sleeve.

Nowadays, at the gate of almost every town, there is such an old elf.

Old and frail, with vicious eyes, are the unifying characteristics of these old elves.

The old man couldn't do physical work, and his body was empty for a long time, and he couldn't raise it in half a year, so he simply arranged for them to go to the town to "catch people". He was sitting at the gate of the town basking in the sun, his eyes scanning the crowd of people passing by the road, and at a glance he saw His Majesty the former Emperor in the crowd - not because of Asa's outstanding temperament, of course, but because he was empty-handed, dazed, and his eyes were looking around casually without focus...... It's a blind stream at first glance!

Good boy, don't run! That's you!

Asa is here to experience life...... Hearing the old man's question, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Where's the fight...... It should be the Empire. ”

"Shhhh Hush! The old man hurriedly stopped him, "The matter of our queen becoming emperor is still a big secret, how can you talk nonsense on the street!" What to do if you are heard by the enemy! ”

Wait a minute! This time, Asa was stunned - Penny wants to be emperor? How did I not know? Didn't Shen Yan say that "the queen is better than the empress, so she is still the queen", why did she suddenly want to be the emperor again? Do you have to collect two copies of the money?!

"You can tell what you're thinking when you look at your face, but can someone like you know about such a big thing? Who are you? Blind stream! Who is the old man? As a member of the town elders' association, I learned the news when I held an important meeting (playing mahjong)! I don't tell him about ordinary people! The old man said mysteriously, dragging him as he spoke. Asa followed the old man in a daze, and was led by him to turn left and right, and soon lost his way.

Eventually, he was taken into a small courtyard, where square tables and some meals were already set up.

"Eat, eat and go to work. I'll take you to meet a few girls in the evening, and after you fall in love, you can live a good life, and don't run around anymore! You look like this...... It's a little ordinary, and it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law...... But it doesn't matter, men must have the ability first! By the way, I haven't asked yet, what are your skills? That is, what do you do best? ”

When Asa awoke himself, the bread was in his mouth, and it was evident that he could not go back.

"What am I good at? I'm good at governing the country...... I'm good at managing people, and it's no problem to manage a small town. Asa changed his words.

"Isn't that an official!" The old elf slapped his thigh and looked at Asa with hatred, "Young people should be steadfast, don't be too ambitious." Is it so easy to be an official? Who doesn't want to be an official? But do you have the credit for it? Do you have the character to convince the people? Does Benjamin know? ”

"Yes." Asa was taught to laugh and cry.

"No. 1 in the world! On the announcement! Famous all over the world! But such a person is still just a deputy mayor...... Even Benjamin is still struggling with qualifications, why did you step up to the sky? Let's do the honest work! ”

Benjamin was cheated by Lao Shen...... Asa had the heart to say this. But thinking about the prestige of "Archon Shen Yan" among the people, it is better to forget it. If he had said it, he would probably not have been able to get out of the gate today. Asa thought for a moment, changed direction and said, "I'm in command in the outside world...... He was a soldier, and he was good at swordsmanship and training, did the town need this? ”

"That's fine...... If you really have the ability, I'll help you talk to the mayor. Let's eat, let's go to the playground and find someone to try. ”

In this way, Asa, the traveling god of nobility, unexpectedly stopped in the town of Galloping Horse.

The town of Galloping Horse has the largest herd of six-legged wildebeest horses, with animal husbandry at its core. After Asa joined, the town quickly formed a guerrilla cavalry on six-legged horses, and Asa was also promoted "as he wished" and became the captain of a cavalry of less than 200 people.

*****

The evil Red Dragon Warlock is working as a teacher, and the former Emperor has become a Ranger Captain.

Penny tries to run the country, and although she lacks creativity, she is good at handling tedious and meticulous affairs, and she does it well. The problem of lack of creativity happens to be compensated for by a person with a surplus of creativity.

Michelle was busy in the fields with a group of trainee agricultural druids, with the big guy leading the practice, and a group of druids were upgrading as if they were hanging.

As the last Dabas, Phil took over the maintenance of the Ring Stones.

Everyone in the Bronze Society is changing to a greater or lesser extent. Only Augustin is still running his Forsaken Bar - though the word "bar" is now preceded by the word "chain." This bar has opened in every town, and the owners are lifeless drunks......

Teacher Atwood was so entangled by the goddess of illusion that he turned into a disciple of the mortal sect, and was busy with the affairs of the orphanage all day long as the old holy warrior of the Church of Courage.

Any suggestion made by Shen Yan, no matter how absurd it is, a few friends will think about it three times before refuting it. This time, Shen Yan asked, why, throughout the history of the change of gods, it must be the god of civilization that replaces the god of nature, and the god of society replaces the god of civilization?

Because God is a lifelong profession, it seems to be high above, but in fact it is still rooted in the mortal world.

And those who climb up, accustomed to staring at it, tend to ignore the development and progress of society - but the fact is that although the pace of feudal society is very slow and seems to be standing still, the world is still moving forward. When society moves forward and the gods remain in place, they naturally show conservative tendencies; When ordinary people care about love, family, firewood, rice, oil and salt, the lower riba people. And God cares about metaphysical things like existence, courage, and law......

Over time, it is inevitable that it will be replaced.

After all, broadly speaking, the gods are the sacralized embodiment of society, and must be consistent with society, not the other way around; In a narrow sense, if the believers are using the kidney machine X, the gods are still happy that Nokia finally supports Chinese...... It was only a matter of time before faith was lost.

If the gods do not enter the realm of faithless eternity before they lose their faith, then it is only a matter of time before they fall.

In view of this, Shen Yancai suggested that they go to the people more. On the one hand, it is to know what ordinary people are thinking, and on the other hand, it is also to find what they are really interested in, and only if they are interested can they do it for a long time. Like the Red Dragon Warlock and Asa, they both inherited a part from a certain god, and then pinched their noses to do it, in short, they were not as good as the former.
