Chapter 10 The Lively City

The blue sky was boundless, there was not a trace of clouds, and a huge fireball was suspended high in the void, wantonly swaying its own almost infinite energy.

The blazing sun poured down on the city below.

In the scorching summer, the sun at ten o'clock is unusually hot. The whole city has almost become a steamer, baking the anxious and busy people inside.

The highways stretch in all directions, like giant spider webs, penetrating every corner of the city. Anxious crowds, speeding vehicles, weaving on the cobweb-like road.

Heavy traffic.

There is not only prosperity here, but also crowding and heat.

The roaring sound of motors, the shrill sound of horns, the irritable cursing, the restless crowd in the square, the loud and annoying advertisements on the huge billboards, the hot weather, the irritable atmosphere, the countless factors are mixed and kneaded, interweaving a three-dimensional picture, revealing the irritable side of the city.

This is the metropolis of the world, New York.

Booming, crowded, that's the heart of New York.

Compared with the bustling city center, Queens, which also belongs to New York, is much deserted and a little depressed.

The pedestrians who are in a hurry are either numb, or desperate, or gloomy; The old, dilapidated buildings are covered with all kinds of messy graffiti, and from time to time, a group of motorcycle teenagers drive by on the road, with colorful hair dyed, which is disgusting.

This is the other side of New York, the ghetto.

New York, a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

Whether it's heaven or hell, it's all impatient.

The same wide road lacks the constant flow of traffic.

On both sides of the road, thick trees and lush green leaves are less vigorous at the beginning and a little more languishing. From time to time, a breeze blows, rolling up a puff of dust, which does not bring the slightest coolness, and is full of dry heat.

The whole city is full of a fast pace, urging the crowd of the metropolis to move forward quickly, which is a big atmosphere.

However, everything is not absolute, in this busy environment, a trace of lazy, leisurely atmosphere, but in the leisurely wandering, like a touch of coolness in the summer, not dazzling, but so eye-catching.

Under the dense shade of the trees, a canopy of gold swayed.

Yawn!

With a big yawn, Edward walked leisurely, wandering aimlessly, his eyes swayed from time to time over all kinds of hurried pedestrians, and speeding cars, under the sun, some wilted trees, his eyes showed joy, joy.

It's like an ignorant child, curiously observing the strange world around him.

Curiosity, longing, and joy.

Curiosity about the new world, the desire to understand, the joy of discovery.

It is the instinctive throbbing of life, the love of life for the world. Edward was observing and feeling this new world.

Whether it was the unfamiliar faces around him, the different cultures, the towering buildings, even the noisy noises around him, the irritating atmosphere, all of these attracted Edward and made him feel satisfied.

There has never been a moment when Edward felt that life was so moving and dynamic.

The love of loved ones, the magical world satisfies their curiosity. In a trance, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction came to my heart.

"In this world, it may be a good choice to live leisurely."

"In my spare time, I bask in the sun, sleep, invent and create when I am bored, explore the unknown of the world, and I can live leisurely. As for what to dominate the world, open a harem, be a superhero or something, it's too tiring, so it's better to leave it to the protagonist. He just had to enjoy life. ”

The thought of losing in my heart surfaced, and the tense string in my inexplicable heart loosened.

As a complete outsider, it is a joke to come to this familiar and unfamiliar world, to be able to remain completely calm and integrate well into this world.

Supercriminals who disregard life, all kinds of abilities, powerful superheroes, etc., all of these things make Edward, an outsider, even more vulnerable to a sense of security.

The inexplicable feeling of tightness made Edward very panicked. Even if he has lived most of his life and lives again, it is difficult to maintain peace in his heart.

Although, with the door of truth, he himself is also equipped with alchemy. However, in Edward's heart, there was always a string tightened.

Unknown dangers, the desire for great power, and the envy of a thousand strange abilities, this wonderful and chaotic world dazzled Edward, and his heart was never at peace.

He thought about having great power, thinking about being a superhero, thinking about turning the clouds and rain in this world, thinking about dominating the world, and being the person on that person.

And now, feeling the faint satisfaction in his heart, he knows that he is still just an ordinary person, and he just wants to live leisurely. Enjoy the love of your family, enjoy a leisurely life, study the secrets of the world, make inventions, and explore the strangeness of the world.

and the pursuit of the highest goals of the alchemist.

"I don't need to think about it so much, I live leisurely and freely. Thinking so much, it's a bit unfounded. ”

"In this world, there is not much you need to care about, so why put another layer of shackles. As long as you live happily and freely, you don't need to pay attention to the rest. ”

"Of course, before that, you need to solve your own problems as soon as possible and enhance your own strength, without power in this world, it will not be so easy to obtain."

As if he had figured out something, Edward's heart was inexplicably relieved, and the heavy mountain that pressed on the bottom of his heart suddenly disappeared.

Yawn!

Edward, who was relieved, felt a wave of sleepiness welling up in his heart, yawned a lot, and then stretched his waist and moved his muscles.

Relaxed, tranquil, laid-back, lazy, relaxed, all kinds of breaths, intermingling, shrouded Edward's surroundings, like a cat that had just woken up, free and lazy.

Edward complained about the hurried pedestrians and the endless stream of vehicles, and Edward was a little dazzled and his head was shaking.

"Peter, this weather is the best time to lie on a recliner at home, get some sleep and get a good rest. What a waste to wander around here, don't you say, Peter. ”

Suck!

Without speaking, Peter held an ice cream cone in both hands and licked it carefully, his expression intent. Beads of sweat were crawling all over his forehead, but Peter's eyes were refreshing, as if the slightest coolness in his mouth could dispel the heat of the summer.

As for Edward's words, Peter, who had already been immersed in the world of ice cream, ignored them.
