Chapter 467: Waking up from a dream
As the former queen of the steppe elves, Sera has been in a particularly mixed mood lately.
She discovered that technology is really a scary thing that can change a person's life in a big way.
Unlike Adams, who was far away in the Elven King City, she was taken to live in Great Xia City by her daughter Alice, and she was far faster than Adams to adapt to the life of Great Xia.
When she returned to Prairie City, the former royal city of the Prairie Elves, it didn't take two days for her to be extremely distressed.
She was already accustomed to life in Great Xia City, and now she is very unsuitable for life here.
Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that this former royal city of the steppe elves has become the most backward city in Great Xia.
However, with the distressed Thera, Adams was in a very good mood in the past two days.
Although one or twenty years is nothing in the face of the elves' long life, he hasn't seen his mother for a while since Alice took her mother to live in Great Xia City.
So much so that Adams, who has always been diligent in government affairs, even put aside his important work for the time being, and wholeheartedly accompanied his mother to play in the city.
But to be honest, life here was boring and monotonous for Sera.
But now Adams, who is Prairie City, is still happy to do it.
As the two sat down to rest, Sera quietly cleared all the boredom out of Adams' stomach.
Although Adams had always behaved like a good lord in front of his mother, he was still a child in front of Sera, the former queen of the steppe elves.
So much so that in the end, Adams began to vent his bitterness on his mother.
In fact, the city has not developed well at all these years.
The young people of the steppe elves either joined the army or went to other cities to develop.
Today, there are less than 120,000 permanent residents in the city, of which the elderly and children still account for a considerable proportion.
The lack of young and middle-aged population has led to the fact that the city has not developed at all.
This made Adams really can't understand that he has worked so hard and devoted almost all his time to the development of Elven King City, but why is the result the opposite?
Looking at Adams with a frustrated face, a trace of unbearability flashed in Sera's eyes as a mother.
For the steppe elves, her husband Creon was a wise monarch who had led the steppe elves for more than 500 years as king of the steppe elves, and Adams had always hoped that he could become a wise monarch like his father.
However, Adams was a little wrong.
The reason why this city has become like this is not because it is not good enough, but because the other cities in Great Xia are just too good.
Not to mention the far-reaching, just talking about the elven administrative area, even the wood elf city located at the very edge, its living conditions are far beyond here.
In contrast, young people yearn for the outside, and in this comparison, it is estimated that the vast majority of people are more willing to go to other cities to work hard.
Under this premise, even if Creon was sitting here, it would be difficult to defeat such an opponent who was far superior to them.
And if you want to change the status quo, it's not enough to just bury your head in development.
"Adams, have you been to other cities over the years?"
In response, Adams said, "Just dealing with the affairs of an entire city is busy enough, and as a city lord, how can I have time to travel to other cities?"
Serra, who had received this answer, sighed, and then looked at her son with a serious expression.
"Adams, you prepare, I'll take you to a nearby city early tomorrow morning, and ..... Wood Elf City, this is the closest city to us."
Faced with his mother's unquestioning tone, Adams was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously refused.
In his opinion, if he runs to other cities, what will happen to this city, he is the city lord.
In fact, a city with a permanent population of less than 120,000 people, and has not made any decent development over the years, and even stagnated for a while, what can the city owner do every day?
As it turns out, what Adams does every day is to work blindly.
It is true that he has a very busy day, and even has a little bit of a dark and anxious meaning, but he has not produced any decent results at all, this is the truth.
The next morning, looking at his mother, who had ordered someone to prepare the vehicle in a tough posture and then urged him to hurry to the car and sit down, Adams suddenly realized that his mother had changed.
Although he couldn't say the specific changes at once, the feeling it brought to him was very different from the past.
The carriage in which Adams and Serra rode was speeding down the paved road.
As they approached Wood Elf City, Adams soon noticed that there were more and more pedestrian carriages around them.
This discovery made him a little heartbroken.
Because this is a stark contrast to the deserted grassland city.
On the main road, there are many pedestrian caravans, but few of them are heading in the direction of Prairie City, and even the farther away they are, the more people there are.
As the city lord of Prairie City, this is really not a scene that can make him happy.
Sera saw the slight change in Adams' expression, but she didn't say anything more.
Wood Elf City is the closest city to Prairie City, and along the main road, the carriage of Sera and his party quickly drove into the city.
After entering the city, the bustling atmosphere almost greeted Adams felt a little uncomfortable, and the city was full of towering buildings, lively streets, and many of them were treehouses with elven characteristics.
He even saw several prairie elves on the side of the road, they were smiling, and they seemed to be living happily here, so that Adams clearly felt that the city had directly exploded several streets of his prairie city.
In an instant, his mood directly became bad.
The thriving city in front of him was almost like forcing him to admit his incompetence, giving Adams an urge to flee, only to be grabbed by a hand.
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat first."
Sera calmly pulled her son, who was not very good-looking, and walked towards the city.
The unfamiliar, complicated and crowded streets in front of him made Adams a little worried about getting lost, but it turned out that he was overthinking, and his mother walked here like a local.
And just like that, Serra took Adams for a day out in the bustling part of the city.
Adams discovered that the elves in the city were actually only a small half, and most of them were goblins and humans.
Adams was stunned, because such a lively scene could not be seen in Prairie City.
At the end of the day, lying on the soft and comfortable hotel bed, Adams stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Because he suddenly realized that this was the play, and the previous play with his mother in the Elf King City could only be described as boring and boring.
At this moment, he began to understand a little why the young people in the clan were reluctant to stay in the Elven King City, but kept running to other cities.
Compared to the Elven King City, the other cities in Great Xia are much more colorful.
At the same time, during this day, he also saw a lot of things that he usually couldn't see.
So much so, that in the next few days, Adams was sullen all the time, but Sera only saw it, but did not persuade him.
It wasn't until on the way back that he said, "Adams, I think you've got one thing wrong from start to finish."
"What?"
"You are the lord of Prairie City, the ruler of the city, but you are not the master of the city."
Adams still manages Prairie City in the same way that he manages their steppe elf territory, but in fact, this way is wrong.
The situation has changed, the real owners of the city are no longer the royal family of the steppe elves, and Adams is now nothing more than a manager who receives a monthly salary.
And when the manager's management encounters difficulties, of course, he has to turn to the master for help, this matter is actually that simple, and even those city lords do this, so there are so many reports that are constantly sent to Great Xia City every day.
In the past few days, Serra has vaguely realized that His Majesty the Emperor, who has clever means, is waiting for her stupid son to hit the wall and break his head and bleed, so that he can correct his position, recognize his identity, and then make a correct judgment.
Instead of continuing to work stupidly there, but not getting any results.
But it was not easy for Adams to be aware of the problem, or to admit the reality himself, and Thera felt the need to push the stupid son.
"Addams, a city like Wood Elf City, even better developed than Wind Whispering City, has nearly three hundred in an entire Great Xia. You can't expect His Majesty the Emperor to do nothing every day and concentrate on how a city with no movement at all develops. The other city lords write reports every month, and sometimes even several reports a month, and how many reports have you written over the years?"
After a few words, Adams was speechless when he asked him directly, and at the same time he had to admit this cruel reality.
He worked hard alone, how could he be able to compete with the efficiency of other cities and Great Xia.
If this continues, the gap will only widen.
When you need help, you have to take the initiative to ask for help, and you can't expect others to take the initiative to help.
Recently, due to the development of Great Xia, Xia Qi, who has been busy with various affairs, has also increased his workload a lot.
Just when Xia Qi was processing the report, he accidentally flipped to a report, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
