Chapter 353 Two little brothers, are you taking a taxi?(1/2)
Just when a temporary document from the Free City of Zeelandia was released, countless forces over-interpreted it.
Levi and Calvin had just landed on the outskirts of the north gate of Jishui City, transformed back into elf form, and then entered through the north gate with Calvin like ordinary adventurers.
Now his body is too huge. If he just flew into Jishui City like this, causing the city guards who mistakenly thought that the dragon was attacking the city to panic and light beacons, then the joke would be big.
Moreover, he also wanted to see if, after forty-six years, the city of Kashuike had changed beyond recognition like Minas Tirith.
But he soon discovered that he had underestimated Baicheng's rapid development in recent years and overestimated the speed of change in this era.
It makes sense when I think about it immediately. Jishui City, a seaport city that was originally guarded behind the Troll Wall, is completely different from his White City. After hundreds of thousands of years of development, the place that should be developed has long been developed.
Except for the port area, which is used to house the floating population and necessary labor force, and is full of shantytowns, other areas are almost all divided up by local masked lords, hereditary nobles and big businessmen like Xia Lanweilosi.
And the port area that was demolished and developed by the Hogg Chamber of Commerce, the Sharan Chamber of Commerce, and the Black Stick Chamber of Commerce at the same time 46 years ago can fully meet the needs of the increased population in recent years.
In addition, the concept of so-called real estate speculation has never been born in this world, so naturally few people do such a thankless task.
Whether it's going through the Lord's Mansion process, compensation, demolition, or reconstruction, everything is money.
This is because the dark forces in Jishui City have been swept away by Levi, Kelben and the others in the name of the Harper, and then plowed again by the Faceless Lady, causing the Shadow Thieves to flee. Otherwise, just those
Am's involvement in these processes was another huge expense.
So few people are willing to do this kind of "taken advantage of".
Just out of the north gate, looking along the Dragon Avenue towards the bay, you can see the shore turned golden by the setting sun. The port area, which was originally full of messy shantytowns, has been completely renewed, with continuous small high-rise buildings everywhere.
Numerous human figures shuttled back and forth between the alleys like ants.
It is worth mentioning that alchemy bicycles have become popular in Jishui City today. On the Dragon Avenue, which was originally dominated by horse-drawn carriages, you can already see many armies of human-powered tricycles, and occasionally old models can be seen.
The steam locomotive is like a Blue Star farm tractor, spitting out white steam while moving slowly and creaking.
Even so, it can still attract envious and jealous looks from passers-by.
Being able to own a steam locomotive has long been regarded as a sign of power by the people of Kishui City.
Just when Li Wei was attracted by these novel sights, a tricycle with two carriages creaked and stopped beside them. The obviously elderly man showed a flattering smile:
"Two adventurers, it's your first time coming to Jishui City? Do you need a ride?"
""
Levi, who had just felt that he had changed the world, suddenly felt disillusioned and dumbfounded.
Emotion single-handedly promoted the transportation revolution in this city-state, and as a result, the person who dealt with him first
It's actually a black three-wheeler
Crunch, crunch! Crunch.
Levi and Calvin, two strong men, were stuffed into both sides of the tricycle like pendants. They arrived at the harbor area under the thrilling speed of this old driver from Kishui City who said "time is money". Calvin
In front of the home's villa.
When he got off the bus, Levi, whose face turned slightly pale, experienced for the first time what it was like when his subordinates were riding in his car.
Just when the two were about to enter, the door of the villa next door was opened. A delicate and sweet half-elf had just gone out. When he saw Calvin, his eyes lit up and he said hello:
"Uncle Calvin, are you back? Who is this?"
The other party seemed to suddenly recognize Levi, his face turned red instantly, and he seemed to want to escape back to the room.
"Who is this?" Li Wei always felt that the other person seemed familiar.
"Uh, let me introduce, his name is Kevin, and he is Lucifer's apprentice."
""
In the dragon's lair where the light is slightly dim.
With the faint ringing of a bell, Xia Lanwei Luosi woke up from her dream, curled up in a sea of books.
At first, a glimmer of hopeful light instinctively lit up in his eyes, but it soon dimmed.
This ringtone was set by her newly adopted maid more than twenty years ago.
Generally, this ringtone means that she has ordered it, it is an important matter that only she must handle personally, a meeting, and she needs to be woken up.
Of course, among the things she ordered back then, she seemed to have casually included the news that a certain silver dragon in the north had awakened and appeared.
It's a pity that every time I wake up to the sound of the bell, I get disappointment again and again.
And all she had to face were business contracts and agreements that required her to sign in person for an amount that would shock and numb ordinary people, a so-called powerful man from the North who pretended to be gentle and elegant in front of her, but was actually flattering and coveting, and
The boring chamber of commerce made her doze off time and time again.
It was as if a certain bastard had completely evaporated in the main material world after appearing once in her life.
Forty-six years have passed. Even if the extremely old dragon slept for such a long time, he could directly prepare for his funeral.
This made her wonder for a while whether the other party had transformed into a humanoid form and sneaked into other dimensions to play role-playing adventure games like other silver dragons.
And this speculation is not unfounded. According to "One Thousand and One Cold Jokes of the Corel Dragon" written by a certain red copper dragon whose life and death are still unknown, the dark history of the silver dragon's adventures is
It occupies a lot of scenes.
Most of them are ghost stories about silver dragons pretending to be humans and fighting evil, but often end up being captured by the evil before they can transform back into the silver dragon form, and then being manipulated by all kinds of evil spirits.
For some reason, an image of that guy being tied to a stone pillar by a group of shameless succubi appeared in her mind, and he had a lewd expression on his face while moaning with pleasure while being whipped with a whip.
Bang.
She had just returned to human form and switched positions with the doll on the bed in the bedroom. Because she couldn't control her strength well, she blew the pillow.
The flying white goose feathers slowly fell down, and a few of them inevitably landed on her messy hair.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Miss, I'm coming in, uh, excuse me."
The golden pony-tailed maid who had just pushed the washing cart and leaned halfway in saw this sullen steel dragon lady with a kettle hanging from her mouth.
The instinctive desire to survive gave her a sudden pause, and then she slowly retracted as if rewinding at half the speed. Just when the door was about to slowly close and successfully 'escape', Xia Lanwei Luosi's voice came out.
It suddenly sounded:
"Balasta, come in."
"It's Miss."
The maid named Balasta pushed the trolley back to the bedside with a heroic look on her face, and while packing up her lady's clothes, she reported on the important events of the past few years.
Yes these past few years.
Ever since Xia Lanwei Luosi unexpectedly discovered that the maid she adopted was extremely talented in magic and learned how to transform in a short period of time, she trained and used her as her 'shadow tool'.
Its growth rate was such that even the devil Senas, who was half of its teacher, was amazed by it. Soon after he was able to play Ciaran Velos in every aspect, he skillfully added training to her.
Project', and he took advantage of his young lady's intermittent slumber to sneak away to Baator Hell to do something unknown.
And it means that you are already a mature lady and it’s time to learn to cultivate a ‘universal tool person’ by yourself.
So in the past few years, apart from her relatively weak strength, Balasta has almost replaced most of the functions of the old devil.
After Balasta reported the complicated news, she asked:
"In addition, Kelben has decided to follow the example of Minas Tirith College in formulating a scholarship system and organize the first student donation. Would you like to participate?"
"Don't you just want to see the graduates of Baicheng College making troubles one by one, and also want his students to be generous for the invitation? Just follow the normal rules, you can figure it out yourself."
Xia Lanwei Luosi's reaction was much calmer than Balasta expected. Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, she hurriedly said:
"Finally, news came from White City. The upper management held an important meeting yesterday to announce the formal establishment of the Free City State of Zeelandia. His Majesty Levis personally announced it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she clearly noticed that Miss Xia Lan's body became unnaturally tense, but her face looked extremely calm:
"Oh, got it."
She suppressed her laughter, took out another prepared meeting announcement document, opened it, and muttered slowly:
"Main content of this meeting"
But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xia Lanwei Luosi:
"No need to read it, just leave it here and I'll take a look at it myself. You can go down first."
"Oh, okay." Balasta put down the documents in her hands and walked out quietly.
boom.
Almost as soon as the door closed, Xia Lanwei Luosi's two pointed ears moved. After confirming that the other party was gone, she could no longer control the excitement in her heart, holding the Baicheng document and slamming it back like a carp.
On the big bed, the bed made of northern maple mahogany creaked and groaned in pain.
'That guy finally woke up! I want to see what you did when you came back!'
Two bright big eyes were constantly scanning the words like a tower spirit red light scanner, looking for any information related to the silver dragon.
If this look fell into the eyes of a Blue Star person, it would probably be like a young girl who had not seen her crush during the summer vacation for two consecutive months, but suddenly discovered that the other person's circle of friends was finally updated.
What content has been updated is not the most important. What is important is that you can infer from the content what the other person’s plans are in the near future, or whether the other person has missed you as much as you do.
Therefore, she almost skimmed over information from meetings such as the reorganization of Hogg Mining and the regulations on freedom of belief in Zeelandia, which were interpreted in various ways in the eyes of some people.
To be continued...
