"Welcome to the city that never sleeps. This sentence is not said from someone who can hear it, but can be seen directly from a distance of hundreds of meters. There are more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the east area, you can see the entrance in the distance, there are a large number of high-brightness crystal energy lamps, the shape of these crystal energy lamps are special, after splicing together, it shows these two rows of huge words, more special is that the surface of the crystal energy lamp has taken special treatment, and not only emits white light, but changes a color every one or two minutes, the warm color font is constantly flickering, which will produce an unknown attraction to the crowd of people, and people can't help but pay more attention to the light。 Below the welcome sign, is the gate of the city, the gate is very ornately decorated, and there are also a large number of medium-brightness crystal lights installed on both sides and above the gate, in the dark night, these lights are the best guide, so that everyone can easily find the entrance to the city, from here into the city, enjoy the happy night of the city that never sleeps. Theoretically, just the hedron required for these lights at the city gate can reach hundreds of gold coins in one night, but in order to show the flowers of the city that never sleeps, the city government has maintained this expenditure for seven consecutive years.

Walking through the city gates and into the city that never sleeps, it is like entering another world, with taverns and dance halls next to each other, and the signs of each shop are also spliced together with crystal energy lamps, and the dazzling lights attract the attention of passers-by. The soundproofing of each store is very good, but the music in the store is so loud that every time the door is opened, a loud sound wafts out of the store, and you can imagine the fiery atmosphere of the store through the music. Unlike the City of Knowledge, where taverns or dance halls are relatively restrained, and most of them are soft dance music and songs, Neville City is completely different, and Neville's music blends the roughness of steppe orc music with the intensity of Curlan dwarf music, with a fairly fast tempo. The corresponding dance is also extraordinarily unrestrained, not so much a dance, but just a violent twist to release the love in the heart. Through the open door, the interior of the ballroom could be seen shrouded in darkness, except for the glow of crystal lamps on the stage, and the young men and women hid in the darkness, their faces twisting to the high-speed music, perhaps because of the vigorous movement, everyone who danced was breathing rapidly, and their cheeks were also floating crimson.

The dim sight inside the ballroom is only the tip of the iceberg as the doors open and close. The streets of the city that never sleeps, on the whole, are still filled with brilliant lights, and the flickering light hits the faces of pedestrians, reflecting the uncertain weather on the faces of pedestrians. Yes, even though it was late at night, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, but they didn't look normal, some seven or eight people gathered together, putting their shoulders on each other's shoulders. They roam the streets with loud noise, and some are alone, holding bottles in their hands, staggering down the streets. Whatever kind of person. They don't really have a clear purpose, they just drink from one tavern to another, and then let off their hearts and blood in the ballroom until they have had enough fun. After returning to the tavern for a drink, he will stagger into the casino, and the loser who lost the last copper coin walks back to the street with a dejected face. The bottle in his arms ends up drunk in the streets, while the lucky victor spends a peachy evening in the best inn surrounded by beautiful women with a pocket full of gold coins.

"Is it really okay for them to do this?" Catherine frowned, avoiding a man who fell asleep directly on the side of the road after getting drunk, "It's dangerous to be unsuspecting drunk on the side of the road, and it's too easy for thieves to patronize." ”

"People who have lived like this all year round have become accustomed to it. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "And the security in the city that never sleeps is very good, there are basically no thieves, and there are guards patrolling everywhere." Of course, it is more likely that people who will get drunk on the side of the road will often not have any money in their pockets, and those who have money left will only get drunk on the woman's bed, and will never get drunk on the side of the street. ”

"Can this be considered life?" Catherine said with a straight face of disgust, "After such a day, people will go crazy in a few days, it's just terrible." ”

"But that's not the case. Pannis pouted and said, "At least a third of the people of Neville live like this all year round, whether men or women, they indulge themselves every night, and then during the day they return to their original well-dressed appearance and continue their normal work and life. They're not crazy, they're just not normal in a sense. ”

"Why is this happening?" Vivien was also a little unbearable, and asked puzzledly: "They should know very well, this kind of life will only make a person decadent, and in the long run, this person will never be saved." ”

"So what does it matter? After all, they're having fun. "They like to replace long-term boredom with momentary pleasures, and if they don't stand on their side, who is right to say they are wrong?"

"Are they miserable inside?" Freya avoided a woman who was stumbling as she walked, and the strong smell of alcohol on the woman's body was mixed with the aroma of expensive powder, so that Freya couldn't help but cover her nose until she fled from the woman, and then she continued: "Doesn't it mean that this is a city full of opportunities? Why are so many people still immersed in pain? Why would they rather choose a decadent life?"

"Hehe, is there a lot of opportunities?" Pannis chuckled, not answering Freya's question: "I know you don't like that kind of noisy environment, but that kind of environment is mostly for those rebellious young people and relatively low-level guests, most of the rich and status guests don't go there, they have their own place to go, come on, I'll take you to a quieter place." ”

"You haven't answered my question yet. Freya said dissatisfiedly, "Don't change the subject. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, take a look, maybe you can find the answer yourself." Pannis laughed hatefully: "Don't worry, this night is still going on, you will always know the answer." Come with me, not too far, through these two alleys, you will arrive, which is a place where people of middle and high-level status in the city that never sleeps, and after sitting there, you can go and see the place where the top guests enjoy.
