Chapter 1153: A New Problem (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At dusk, instead of being quiet, the streets of Asellas grew lively.
In the bustling streets, handsome elves were pacing leisurely, calmly and elegantly.
Looking at the bustling flow of people on the street, one can't help but wonder: where did so many elves come from?
Unlike the busy working Terrans, the people of the Elven Kingdom live a leisurely and prosperous life, and do not have to travel around for the sake of living.
Therefore, the night is the focus of their day.
When middle-aged people finish their day's work, they go into the open-air tavern and have a few drinks under the lights.
The young couples snuggled up to each other, or held hands and strolled around, or sat down at a table in a roadside café, sipping coffee Chapter 1153 New Questions (asking for a monthly pass), occasionally glancing at each other, with happy smiles on their faces.
There are even some young people standing somewhere, playing the harp in their hands, singing cheerful or melancholy songs, and occasionally throwing electric glances at the girls passing by.
Every now and then, the bold and open elven girls stop and take a few looks. Unable to look at it, he ran away with a series of giggles.
If you look at each other, the two sides will immediately join hands on the street and dance together.
At this time, the streets are often blocked by them, but no one is in a hurry to leave, or angry and scolding.
All the people who were stuck in the road would be standing by. Smiling as they danced. Or whistling, or playing a musical instrument, accompaniment them.
For those who don't perform well, the elves who never rub sand in their eyes will unceremoniously shout for a while, until the courting young man blasts away.
And if the performance is good, everyone will not hesitate to applaud and applaud them.
If the two sides really look at each other, the moment the dance ends, the girl will accept the flowers sent by the man.
However, after the new question of chapter 1153 (asking for a monthly pass), everyone will softly hum an old song. Offering blessings, the two snuggled each other and left......
And speaking of the little ones...... They were like the children of the Terrans, scurrying around and everywhere they went. It's all yelling, provoking chickens and dogs jumping. Unusually lively.
In their streets, there are no beggars to be seen, and no one is littered. And no one will spit.
Except for the children, everyone was polite, clean and tidy, and the slightly humid air was always filled with the fragrance of flowers.
It's like a paradise out of this world.
Only the peaceful and peaceful living environment of the elven kingdom can create this kind of leisurely and comfortable national life.
The main wealth of the Elven Kingdom comes from the sea, and they have a large fleet of seaborne ships, unlike the human continent. It mainly depends on the output of the land or mines.
In order to maintain their luxurious life, the nobles tried their best to squeeze every copper plate out of the peasants.
And those tenant farmers, even in a good year, worked hard all day long, and they were tightly exchanged for food and clothing.
Stability, affluence, and a warm maritime climate make the people of the Elven Kingdom look like they are living in a heavenly kingdom flowing with milk and wine.
Lorraine and Catherine stood on the balcony of the third floor of the hotel, overlooking the streets of Aceras in front of them: neat. Prosperous, elegant, laid-back......
The scene in front of him made Lorraine secretly sigh in her heart, even with Nedel's wealth, to the Arcelas in front of her. There are still a few streets to go.
Lorraine has always been proud of the rapid economic development of Ne under her rule, although this is more to the credit of Catherine, Adele, and Lorina.
Nanadel City is more of an industrial area full of businesses and migrant workers.
Every day, smoke billowed from the chimneys of the factory.
It's not just the smoke that obscures the sky and the sun that makes people unable to see the stars at night. Even in the daytime, seeing the sun is also a gray silhouette. And every day at dusk, the whole city is covered with fog, and it is not until the next day that it gradually dissipates.
Now Niddle City has the title of 'Fog Capital'. The fog has become one of the most famous sights in Nedel City.
In particular, he climbed to the tallest building in Nedel City, the Tower of Light. Standing on the top of the tower, you can not only look down on the Mediterranean Sea, but also look down on the sea of clouds in the white mist in Nedel City from above.
Not to mention looking at the sea of clouds, the faint light is full of dreamy colors.
But no matter what, no matter how much the official rendering, but it can't be changed, Nedel is already heavily polluted by industry.
××××××
The sky was already dark, and it was about to get completely dark, but the bluestone-paved road was still crowded with passers-by.
A lot of people stayed on the side of the road, doing nothing, just standing there with their heads up, looking at the tall lighthouse overhead.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's going to begin~!" Catherine cheered and shouted to everyone in the room.
"It's going to start, it's going to start. ”
A group of girls laughed and squeezed onto the balcony, unceremoniously pushed Lorraine to the side, and after squeezing away the lord, they all stood on the balcony, raising ~~-Update Starter~~ looking at the canopy above their heads and cheering.
Lord Lorraine smacked his lips helplessly, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
Lorraine turned her head and looked at Lorraine in surprise, as if she was laughing at him for being rare and strange, and said, "Don't you know? ”
"Light the lamp?" Lorraine scratched her head and said, "I ...... I know bin Laden. ”
At this time, a soft body leaned on Lorraine's body, hugged Lorraine's arm with both arms, bent his head slightly, leaned on the shoulder of Lord Lorraine, and only from the faint fragrance of jasmine beside him, Lorraine knew that it was Adele.
Adele smiled softly and leaned into Lorraine's ear. A soft voice said slowly, "Light up the Pillar of Aceras." There are twenty-five magic lamps in the canopy, which are lit one by one every evening.
This is one of the wonders of the Elven Kingdom, and many people come to watch this ceremony every day. ”
"It's started, it's started~!"
Lorraine wrapped her arms around Adele's slender waist and looked up at the canopy above her head, only to see a huge magic lamp like a wind chime suddenly lit up, emitting a soft white light.
And then the second, the third......
One by one, the lights were lit and the crowds in the streets shouted in unison. Even if they couldn't understand Elven language, Lorraine guessed that they were counting.
Finally, after the last light came on, the crowd erupted in cheers. After that, the pedestrian flow on the street resumed.
At this moment, even Lorraine was stunned, the elves' artistic attainments were indeed impressive.
Adele smiled and said gently, "Pretty, right?"
Lord Luo couldn't help but nod in admiration, rolled his eyes, and said, "But it's too wasteful, isn't it? ”
Adele flattened her mouth, pinched Lorraine's waist, and said hatefully: "You are really annoying." You look at Vera, how focused she is. ”
Sure enough, Miss Vera's eyes were round. His blue eyes radiated no weaker light than the magic lamp, and his hands were folded and unconsciously clenched tightly in front of his chest, and his eyes did not blink.
But no matter how Lorraine looked, she felt that Vera's expression was like seeing a large plate of braised pork, and her saliva was about to run down.
Lorraine remembered Vera's temper, and couldn't see anything shining, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart: this girl couldn't be thinking about snatching the magic lamp away, was it?
"Vera," Lorraine said with a smile, "drooling is going to run down." ”
"Huh?" Vera hurriedly raised her hand and touched the corner of her mouth, after realizing that she had been deceived by Lorraine. With a pout, he made a grimace at Lorraine, and said angrily: "Young master, you bully people." ”
Lorraine shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't think about it, it's a magic lamp." At most, there are a few magic crystals. ”
Vera was stunned, and her feelings fell suddenly. Hanging his head "oh", he muttered, "It's a pity." ”
Later, I was so depressed that I even drooped my ears.
Adele covered her mouth with her small hand and smiled, suddenly hugged Lorraine's arm, shook her elastic chest slightly, and said coquettishly: "Honey, I will discuss something with you." ”
This trick is really good, Lord Lorraine snorted comfortably, and subconsciously said, "Okay, you say." ”
Adele quietly gestured to Catherine and the others for victory, hugged Lorraine's arm and shook it again, her fingers drew circles on Lorraine's chest, her mouth spit out the aroma, and whispered softly in Lorraine's ear: "We want to go out to visit the night scene of Asselas, by the way, to learn about the economic prosperity of Asselas, to observe the happiness index of the people of the Elven Kingdom, and to see the different economic structures and main consumer forces in different regions......
"Stop, stop~!" Lorraine waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "In short, the translated meaning is simply summarized as, shopping~!"
Right?"
Adele slapped Lorraine's chest and said shyly: "I hate it, you know and ask." ”
Lorraine laughed, waved his hand heroically, and said, "Okay, I'll pay for it today." ”
Adele jumped up happily, "snapped" on Lorraine's face, and said, "You are so good." ”
Then he waved at Catherine and the others, pointed to the city of Acelas, and said impassionedly: "Sisters, we are going to wash Aceras in blood tonight." ”
The girl happily agreed, and walked out of the balcony in a huddle.
Lorraine sighed, it seemed that his wallet was going to be bled back tonight.
Vera just walked out a few steps, pinched the corner of her skirt and trotted back, hugged Lorraine tightly, and said, "Hurry up young master." ”
Lorraine sighed in her heart that Vera was the best.
Vera then said, "If you don't go, who will pay for us." ”
As one of the few major ports in the world, Aceras is a bustling city where all the goods imported and exported are gathered.
Here you can find famous goods on the mainland, and you can also find luxury goods from the whole elf kingdom.
Lorraine accompanied her girlfriend as she walked down the wide streets of Aceras, and there was a leisurely and peaceful scene in front of her.
The open-air tavern on the roadside was filled with the residents of Asalas. The sound of melodious music wafts through the streets all day long. Every now and then, a loud song will be heard.
Not to mention anything else, the Pillar of Asellas, which radiated a brilliant light above his head, no one could compare.
But the laid-back atmosphere didn't last long, and Lorraine and the girls made a splash on the streets of Asalas shortly after they walked out of the hotel.
The inhabitants of the city ran out of the taverns and residences and crowded on both sides of the road to watch the Terran beauties from the mainland.
The Praetorian Guards had to send out a large number of men and horses to enclose several layers of human walls, surrounding Lorraine and the girls in the middle, and there were still young people who yearned for beauty desperately trying to squeeze in.
Catherine and the others were used to being watched. Unimpressed, he walked into the street shop with great interest, commented on the costume jewelry, and threw it into his shopping bag. Without a word of counteroffer.
Lord Lorraine not only had to pay for it, but also had to constantly deal with them and ask "how about I wear this", which was a headache for all men.
Lorraine only replied yes, but he had to say what was good one by one.
With the ink in Lord Lorraine's stomach, there were no words after two rounds, and when they went to a crystal shop, they simply found an excuse to leave on the benches outside.
Even if you have to endure the onlookers of the elven people, it is better than enduring the verbal bombardment of your own girlfriend.
The elven people in the street pointed at Lorraine through the wall of the Praetorian Guard, and Lord Lorraine, although he could not understand the elven language, could guess from their expressions. That's probably not a flattering statement.
"This trip to the elf clan is really unpleasant~! A group of declining nobles still dragged 2580,000. Lorraine cursed in his stomach, the ubiquitous arrogance of the elves really annoyed Lord Lorraine.
Suddenly, there was a figure standing opposite Lorraine.
Lorraine looked up and saw that Barentine was grinning at him, and the elite ranger who accompanied Lorraine from birth to death in the demon clan nodded and said, "Prince, welcome to the elven kingdom." ”
Lorraine stood up happily, he had wanted to catch up with Barentine, but he never had the chance. Barentin is now the chief instructor of the Praetorian Guard, and I heard that he is very busy.
Lorraine squeezed Barentin's hand and said, "Me too, but I find that you seem to welcome my girlfriend more." ”
Barentine was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "The bad temper of the elves sometimes even hates me, but they have been like this for thousands of years. It seems that it can't be changed, prince, you don't have to care. ”
Barentine has been traveling on the mainland, meeting friends with martial arts, earning a great reputation, and has a better understanding of human character, knowing that the arrogance of the elven race has made humans very unbearable.
"Actually, these guys are very simple. Both likes and dislikes are on the face. Barentine smiled and explained, "I've been looking forward to your visit to the Elven Kingdom, Prince. ”
Lorraine smiled and shook her head, "What a bunch of weird guys. Have you been busy lately? I heard that you have been promoted. ”
Barentin pointed to the gold diamond-encrusted rose badge pinned to his chest and said, "Thanks to you, I became an instructor of the Praetorian Guard as soon as I returned.
Today's young people are not as squeamish as before, and I have to train them hard. ”
Lorraine laughed, "I've been told that by the old guys like you when you were younger, right?"
Barentin was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You're really right, Prince, I'll introduce you to someone." ”
A middle-aged man dressed in white strode up to Lorraine, grabbed Lorraine's hands and shook them warmly, and said, "I have long admired the name of the prince, but I am your admirer." ”
Barentin said: "This is General Hippomedon, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Fleet, and the eldest son of the Marquis of Agurts. ”
It means that this guy is the future Marquis of Agurts. In the elven kingdom, those who can become the commanders of the five fleets are all great people.
The Eastern Fleet's subordinate 600 large and small warships should not be underestimated.
Lorraine also smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, General Hippomedon. ”
At the same time, he secretly looked at the general in front of him, he was in the prime of middle age, his physique was one of the strongest among elves, a pure white navy uniform was spotless, neat without even a few folds, and he had a beard that was rare among elves.
Hipo Maidong glanced at the girls shopping in the shop, and said embarrassedly: "It's a bit presumptuous to come and disturb the prince's Yaxing." But I also have to come~!"
"Where," Lorraine snickered, "I want to thank you for rescuing me and going shopping with my girlfriend......"
Lorraine shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, with a helpless expression.
Hippomedon laughed heartily and said, "I know, I know, I have four daughters in my family, and I will introduce them to you another day." ”
"Uh......" Lorraine scratched his head and said, "The reputation of our Lorraine family is very loud in the elven kingdom, and Madame Zun will not have an opinion." ”
Hippomedon shook his head and said bluntly: "Of course not, my wife is human. ”
Lorraine was a little surprised that the elven nobles could find a human wife, which was almost impossible in their closed society.
Hippo Maidong said: "Actually, I came to you today, and I want to ask for something, about the negotiation between you and us. ”
Lorraine was a little puzzled, and said: "Actually, we have already talked about it, I came to go through the motions, without Barentine, we would not be able to kill from the demons, and the war fortress would have had your share." ”
Hipo Maidon said with some embarrassment: "It's not about this question, it's about our participation in the peacekeeping forces, and some people want to set up some trouble." ”
"Oh?" Lorraine was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly became stern, and he said, "What happened." ”
Hipo Maidong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Some people in our country believe that we should not be involved in the war between humans and demons.
Of course, I think this is a short-sighted and foolish view that human beings and we are in the same vein, a relationship of common prosperity and common loss. The war between humans and demons is also the war between us and demons.
But many of us don't see it that way. ”
Barentin sighed, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Some old guys have rusted their brains to death, or they are simply cowardly and afraid of death. ”
Hippo Maidon said with a heavy expression: "Just like Barentine said, they think that our naval strength alone, coupled with some war fortresses, is enough to keep the demons far away from the elven kingdom.
They believe that we should not sacrifice our people for the good of humanity. ”
"Worryingly, there are many elders in the Council of Elders. The shape shì is not optimistic. ”
Lorraine pondered for a moment and said, "That is, some people want the Elven Kingdom to be completely neutral in the war?"
