    Act 26: Prosperity (I) Standing under the city gate, looking at the most prosperous city in another world, Avis felt a little shocked.  Of course he has seen many prosperous cities in the game. The majestic city built at the foot of the Sage Tower on the Holy Mountain is enough to make anyone feel palpitating, not to mention the magnificence of modern cities made of steel and concrete in reality.  It's enough to shock anyone in this multiverse.  But none of these can describe the majesty of the city in front of you.  Standing under the city gate and looking up, I saw a snow-white mountain with clouds surrounding this snow-white peak. A biting cold wind blew downward, bringing moisture and precious raindrops here.  The ground is not a sheet of rolling yellow sand, but some low green grass.  But on the other side, as far as the horizon can be seen, the yellow sand is still diffuse, so all this forms a picture in front of you: barren desert, green vitality, towering cities, capped mountains When everything is connected in series  When we got together, it felt extremely shocking.  He pulled down the brim of his hat slightly to cover his pointed ears. He was wearing a long black dress and had a delicate machete on his waist.  Ives first walked into this bustling city.  Meader means ¡®protected by God¡¯ in the language of this world.  This is indeed a rare piece of pure land in the apocalypse - the minerals dug out in the mountains ensure that there is never a shortage of merchants here, and the moisture brought by the mountains provides a small amount of rainfall. In addition, this place is blessed with  The geographical location, everything seems to be a paradise protected by God, one of the few paradises in the end of the world.  You need to pay a certain fee to enter the city, and Jessica has already paid these fees for them.  And Elvis doesn't want to act with Jessica. Being with her can certainly make many things easier, but Elvis is not here for vacation.  He needs to see if he can spy out any information about the dragon people here - you know, if those dragon people attack human settlements, then they must be planning something, and in this largest human settlement, Avis  Someone who knows this information will definitely be found.  Among other things, the headquarters of the thieves organization with spies all over the mainland is here. Instead of trying your luck in other cities, it is more convenient to come here.  Avis and Ge Tongluo said goodbye to Jessica, took the currency of this world they obtained from her, and entered the city.  Of course, I have to say that Jessica¡¯s pestering energy was really hard to break away from when saying goodbye.  "Actually, I think if you work harder, you can get her into bed." Ge Tongluo suddenly said this without any clue.  Avis, who knew what he meant, said angrily: "I don't think you need any effort." "I'm not interested in women." Ge Tongluo's mouth suddenly showed a mocking smile.  Avis subconsciously thought of something bad, so he looked at Ge Tongluo with surprised eyes - this man was still wearing a cloak, which made it difficult to see his face, but he should be very handsome.  After all, he has the blood of elves in his body This guy can't really be that, right? I have no interest in that kind of thing!  So Ge Tongluo was surprised to find that Avis looked at him with a hint of caution on his face. He was a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention.  Although Avis can appear very wise in times of crisis, most of the time, the young mage seems a bit out of tune, and he is used to it.  Walking into Middle City and seeing the merchants coming and going, Avis said with some surprise: "I really didn't expect that someone could build such a prosperous city in the last days." "So never underestimate anyone.  Civilization." Ge Tongluo said in agreement, "But having said that, if there is no accident, you'd better not reveal that you are a half-elf mageif you don't want to attract everyone's attention," the wanderer said.  His body was hidden under a large cloak, and no one knew what kind of weapons the hands under the cloak held.  He was always on guard like this, and this saved his life countless times.  Avis just looked at the wanderer and did not speak, because he knew that Ge Tongluo would not just say this.  "The spotlight can certainly bring you great spiritual satisfaction." Ge Tongluo continued, his tone was his usual low and hoarse tone, "And it can indeed bring some benefits. But it will also make you arrogant.  In the most enviable position, you stand in the brightest position independently, leaving many shadows for your enemies to hide. It is really not a wise choice" "Well, maybe you are right.  "Ives nodded, "But I didn't intend to be exposed in the first place." He pulled the brim of his black hat to cover it up.Covering his pointed ears.  Being a half-elf sometimes brings convenience, but as Ge Tongluo said, it also brings a lot of trouble.  "Really? That's good." There are many people coming and going in this huge city, and Avis and Ge Tongluo are not the only ones dressed like this, so they don't attract attention at all.  After walking for a while, Avis and Ge Tongluo came to a hotel.  They walked in, and Ives took out the currency - which looked similar to a bottle cap, and in fact, some people called it that - walked to the innkeeper: "A room." No matter what you want to do,  Find a place to take a good bath first.  These are Ge Tongluo's original words.  The boss was silent for a while, then he saw the bottle cap that Avis handed over, and he laughed: "You are lucky, there is only the last extra room left Now is the peak season for transactions."  Weiss nodded, but before he could say anything, a voice sounded in his ears.  It was a somewhat deep voice, with a hint of arrogance in the tone, and a yin-yang ending that belonged to an aristocrat.  This kind of aristocratic grammar was too difficult for Avis, a language beginner, to understand, but he could roughly understand what this person meant by just listening to the root words.  "Is there only one room? That's fine, leave this room to me." What the other party said was much more beautiful than this sentence, but Avis couldn't understand it, so he could only translate it into such a simple sentence  .  Elvis turned back and looked at the man in front of him - he was wearing a light red robe with fluffy mink fur on the edge of the robe, a beautiful hair ornament on his head, and holding a handful of  Swinging the fan makes you look rich and noble.  Elvis wanted to ask, 'Who are you?', but in the end he held back and just looked at this person curiously.  After thinking for a while, had I met the legendary ¡®noble class¡¯ with eyes on the top of their heads?  "You should feel honored to give way to the noble Son of God." The nobleman raised his eyes and said to Avis.  Avis frowned. Before he time traveled, he was in a free and democratic society. After time travel, he was an aristocratic mage with a distinguished status. He had never met such a rude person.  When Ge Tongluo saw Ives frowning, he knew what he wanted to do, so he tugged on his clothes and shook his head.  Ives also felt that there was no need for him to be as knowledgeable as this kind of flower that grew up in a greenhouse, so he turned around and wanted to leave.  Seeing Ives giving in, the noble boy became even more proud. His face was raised high, as if he was very proud.  Avis sighed, some truly talented and learned people tend to keep a low profile, while those who have no ideas like to spread the word everywhere.  He really doesn't understand what that noble child is proud of. It's true that you are the son of God, but it's not you who makes you shine, but your ancestors.  Ge Tongluo looked around, and then said: "The hotel you chose is too high-end, let's choose an ordinary hotel" They were in a busy city, and the decoration of the hotel behind them was clean and beautiful, and it looked like it was of high quality.  Not low.  This is one of the reasons why it is almost full of people. The pursuit of high-end and luxurious consumption is the psychology of every nouveau riche.  Ives said helplessly: "This place is very ordinary, okay?" Whether from his modern perspective or from the perspective of an aristocratic mage, this hotel is very ordinary, not even a star hotel. "Besides,  , Choosing a more formal hotel can save you a lot of trouble. You don¡¯t want to run into a shady shop or a thief, right? " "I have finally met a real noble According to you, he is a rich man." Ge Tongluo sighed.  , "But we really don't need to sleep in such a luxurious place. No one in this world can successfully hack a wise mage, and for this world, I am the most powerful thief. So I changed to a more average hotel.  "Okay, it's okay." "Okay, it's up to you," Ives said helplessly, and the two of them walked down the street.  After walking forward for a while, the furnishings of the surrounding shops were no longer so prosperous, but revealed a sense of dilapidation.  Avis frowned a little - after all, he rarely came into contact with these dark sides of society.  But Ge Tongluo was different. He could even be said to have grown up in a similar environment, so he didn't show any surprise at all.  For him, any city, no matter how prosperous it is, will have similar places.  The gap between rich and poor is an objective fact no matter where in the world we are.  They finally chose a hotel that looked relatively clean. The charges here were quite cheap, only about one-third of that of the bustling hotel.  Ps: I¡¯m in a good mood today, haha.
