Fabartolo's remarks made Lloyd amused for a while, but there was a little more self-deprecation, and then he said:

"Ahaha, when I was a child, I actually wanted to be a biologist, a chemist, or an environmentalist, or a materials scientist, but when I grew up, I became a transcendent person, mixed in with the space department."

"You are already very good, you became a lecturer at a young age, and you have also received the esteemed medal of 'Outstanding Contribution', which is really enviable and admirable."

The other party complimented him, and then asked:

"By the way, I just heard you say that you are going to the City of Tranquility? Visit the alumni association there? ”

"Yes, go and prepare some materials for detachment."

"Can you give me a ride? It just so happens that I haven't been to the quiet city for a while, and I want to visit my old classmates there, and by the way, I also know a lot of people in the alumni association, so I can help you introduce them if you need them? ”

"Okay, let's go over when the elevator stops."

Lloyd nodded again and again, he happened to lack a guide by his side, and this wave belonged to drowsiness and bald heads.

When the elevator returned to the surface, Lloyd pulled out a map of the Quiet City, which he had brought from the academy for a few credits, and was said to be the most detailed, clearest, and least buggy new version of the ship to date.

With the map in hand and the address left on the business card, Lloyd could use the three-piece calculation set around him to estimate a coordinate with a very small deviation, and then swipe open the portal with his hand.

Although it was not the first time that the bald Bartolo had seen Lloyd open the portal, he still said in surprise:

"Your portal opens too fast and accurately, more proficient and fluent than those lecturers and professors in the space department, no matter how many times you have seen it, it can give me a pleasing shock, I can't believe that you have only joined the space department for a long time......"

Lloyd, on the other hand, replied with the usual humility:

"Seniority doesn't speak for itself when it comes to true talent."

The bald head couldn't help but stop talking for a while......

The two of them passed through the portal and came to a quiet street where people came and went, startling the pedestrians around them.

But even though these passers-by were so frightened that they 'danced', they still didn't make a sound, and just pointed at Lloyd and the bald mage.

Belch...... Is it true that the city doesn't make the slightest noise?

Lloyd couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I was taken by the Sage of Wisdom to walk around briefly, but I didn't hear the slightest sound, but at the time, I thought it was the Sage who turned on some kind of 'silent mode', so I couldn't hear anything, but this time I suddenly visited as a person, but it was still the same?

Lloyd tried to reassure the passers-by around him, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make the slightest sound?

But what I wanted to say, I still said it normally:

"Don't be nervous, everyone, we're not bad people, we're just transcendents from somewhere else."

The passers-by around were even more amazing to hear this silent speech, from pointing and pointing, to whispering, and seemed to easily accept Lloyd's explanation?

And in the eyes they looked over, there was a lot less vigilance and uneasiness, and it was very strange to have a little more envy and respect?

At this time, Lloyd's ears followed by the laughter of the bald Bartolo:

"Haha, you're visiting the City of Tranquility for the first time, right? Don't think you're used to the atmosphere? ”

"Hmm, it feels weird?"

Lloyd replied, still unable to make a sound, but the bald head still heard it.

"That's right, the whole city here is covered by some kind of realm of the Sage of Knowledge, so that everything is silent, but it does not affect normal communication and life, and you can transmit the sound to the person who wants to be heard by the other party as usual."

The bald head explained with a smile, and then mouthed at the passers-by Nunu who were gradually dispersing, and continued to add:

"They were talking in a whisper, but they didn't want us to hear it, so we couldn't hear it; And if you open your mouth and explain it to them, if you want to convey it to them, they will hear you...... It's probably such an environment and atmosphere, it's amazing, right? ”

"Indeed, it is as if everyone has become a member of the [intellectual] system?"

Lloyd asked tentatively again.

"Not as if, but as it is."

The bald head said, reaching out and pointing at his ear, motioning for Lloyd to touch it.

Lloyd hurriedly stretched out his hand, feeling as if he had an extra pair of invisible earrings on his ears?

To be precise, it should be some invisible force that forms the shape of the earrings, which hangs on their ears in a very soft and faint way, so that no one reminds them and will not notice.

And as Lloyd reached out and touched it, a bunch of menu options popped up in front of him, like pressing 'esc' while playing a game.

These options include 'City Map', 'Public Services', 'Guide', 'Attraction Recommendations', and so on, and so on, and basically all the features that a tourist needs will find.

There is also a small line of text next to the various options with some welcome words and a simple guide to how to use it.

So don't look at the city's infrastructure, the streets in front of you are a little old and dilapidated, but the options in front of you present a sense of science fiction and futurism, quite a bit of cyberpunk temperament.

In contrast, the most prosperous and shining city is still stuck in the age of steam......

"These ...... Is it all the power of the Sage of Knowledge? ”

Lloyd asked curiously.

"Shouldn't it be all, there must be someone else, or the aid of the sadhana, the holy relics, etc.? Anyway, I can't say for sure, but I don't dare to snoop into the secrets of the Sage without permission. ”

The bald head shrugged his shoulders, and then said:

"Actually, if we take the normal route and come by train or airship, there will be someone to guide you to adapt to the 'characteristics' of the city when you enter the city, but you enter through the portal and skip this step."

Lloyd nodded thoughtfully, having a basic understanding of the city's characteristics.

I just don't understand, why bother doing this? Isn't it okay for everyone to talk normally and communicate normally? As a result, the whole city was weird, and even the cars running on the road were silent, and they were too quiet.

But this feature is not without its benefits, is it? At least you don't have to worry about your chat being listened to by others, and you don't have to worry about the step of arranging a mute enchantment; If you want to discuss some secrets and pass on some important knowledge, you don't have to worry about leaking it.

Lloyd pondered for a moment, then asked:

"I see, the figure turned out to scare the passers-by, but fortunately, they are still quite talkative?"

Bartolo also nodded, and replied:

"Well, despite their taciturn appearance, the people here are quite hospitable, aren't they? At least compared to the Eternal City;

And as residents here, they can use more functions than us tourists, they can quickly check our identity, and they can instantly know that we are both tourists, and they believe your previous explanation. ”

After that, he remembered the change in the eyes of those passers-by before, and asked with some doubts:

"But the eyes of those people who looked at us just now were actually a little envious and admiring? Are you envious of my looks and your physique? ”

Lloyd also remembered the change in the eyes of those passers-by, and originally wanted to ask what the bald head said, but he didn't know it? He could only reply with tears and laughter:

"Are you sure you didn't say the opposite?"

"Haha, just kidding, okay, the alumni association is on the other side, let's go over."

As he spoke, he pointed to a particularly grand and luxurious building across the road.

The five-storey building is a bit like some kind of high-end club, not only beautiful in appearance, but also well-maintained, completely different from the other old and dilapidated buildings around it.

But there is no sign hanging at the gate, and ordinary passers-by may not know what this place is for?

As Lloyd crossed the road with his bald head, a car horn sounded in their ears, and it was a steam car warning them to be careful.

It seems that the driver wanted to get their attention, so he could hear it.

I didn't think that the special areas here can even affect the machinery, but it's really magical......

If I can become a Sage in the future and take control of a city that belongs to me, I will also add my own personal characteristics.

For example, the drink must be spicy, for example, mediocre and traditional cooks are not allowed to cook, for example, beautiful girls can't wear shoes, and for example, they are not considered scumbags......

Lloyd thought wildly in his head, and then followed the bald Bartolo to push the door and enter the ornate building.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a crisp bell in his head, followed by an emotionless mechanical voice:

"Lecturer Bartolo from the Mage Department and Lecturer Lloyd from the Space Department have visited."

As soon as the words fell, a well-dressed white-collar worker came out and greeted him warmly:

"Fortunately, two lecturers, welcome to the Alumni Association of the City of Tranquility."

Although these sounds are not through the eardrum, but directly into Lloyd's brain, they are handled more naturally, not as deliberately as outside, and if you don't concentrate on carefully distinguishing them, they are no different from normal communication.

It seems that the alumni association here has made some kind of optimization and improvement for the characteristic areas in the city?

While pondering, Lloyd shook hands with the enthusiastic white-collar worker and exchanged a few polite greetings.

At this time, the other party also saw the golden collar clip on his collar, and said with a little surprise:

"It's ...... Is there an honor student lavalier only with an S rating? Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen someone as remarkable as you, so please come in! ”
