Elven Reaper

Third, paper money, like guns, has become very popular in the outside world.

Looking at the money handed over by the old woman in front of him, Akto hesitated for a moment, then took it without much delay.

Firstly, he wanted to study the banknotes, and secondly, he was afraid that if he didn't accept the money, the grandson and grandson would be overly concerned.

Seeing Akto take the money and put it into his pocket, the old woman was really relieved.

"Dear Mr. Magician, please allow me to introduce you, my name is Laura, and this is my grandson, Richard." The old woman rubbed Richard's little head with a kind smile on her lips.

The little boy Richard bowed to Akto: "Hello, Mr. Magician, you were so powerful just now. You summoned a demon to kill two beasts in two strokes."

Akto nodded and smiled: "You're welcome, Little Richard."

After a pause, he looked at the old woman Laura again: "Well, Mrs. Laura, can I ask you some questions?"

Laura simply ignored the bloody corpses of the three giant cats and moved out two chairs and placed them in the yard.

She asked Akto to sit down and sat across from him: "Sorry, I'm old. I get tired after standing for a while. I hope the distinguished Mr. Magician can understand."

"Of course I understand," Akto said.

Little Richard stood beside Laura.

Laura seemed to be out of breath when she spoke: "You can just ask me anything you want to ask, Mr. Magician, I will definitely tell you everything. The lives of our ancestors and grandchildren are all given by you. Bartlett of the Bright Monastery said that you need to know everything in life. Repay the favor."

Akto nodded and asked the first question: "I think your family is the only one left in this village. Where are the others?"

"They're all gone. Nowadays, all the capable people have gone to the city. Who's still staying in this remote country?" the old woman smiled.

In her mind, she labeled Akto as "a magician who has probably lived in the city since he was a child and came to the countryside for the first time."

Indeed, who doesn’t know that magic technology has been advancing rapidly in recent years, food production has increased significantly, and city people no longer need too much food from the countryside.

Therefore, farmers lost their only advantage and flocked to the city to seek a living.

Akto frowned and then thought of this truth.

He was just about to ask something more, but he didn’t expect Laura to ramble on again as if talking to herself.

"Who doesn't want to go to the city? The countryside is desolate and close to the Silk Forest. Wild animals often appear. According to Bartlett, there are even monsters, which are very dangerous."

"Richard's parents were eaten by the golden python in his early years, and only little Richard and I are left. I have been saving money and want to take my grandson out of this damn village and go to the city to make a living."

"Actually, I'm getting older and I'm about to go see the God of Light. It doesn't matter whether I go to the city or not, but Little Richard is still young. He can't stay in this desolate village all his life."

At this point, Laura’s voice had changed and she began to wipe away tears.

This combination of left-behind children and lonely elderly people is quite worrying.

Akto smiled and said: "So you failed to go to the city, what went wrong in any step?"

He decided to help the old man and the young man once. After all, they were the first people he met after leaving the Elf Forest, and they seemed to be quite kind and honest.

And looking at the situation, the trouble they encountered was most likely due to not having enough money.

“No money.” Sure enough, Laura wiped her tears again: “The fare to the city alone costs two hundred and forty yuan per person.”

Acto:

Do they have urban and rural buses?

Akto suppressed the surprise in his heart, turned his palm, and a parchment appeared out of thin air in his hand.

It is a map of the Deslor Empire.

This map is Adeline's relic. It is very clearly drawn. Not only every castle, large and small, but also some larger towns are marked.

Seeing Akto's move, Little Richard's glasses couldn't help but light up. The magician was indeed magical and could actually conjure things.

Mental power poured into the map, and Akto found his current location.

"Well, the nearest big city from here is Steyr City. Do you mean this castle when you talk about the city?" Akto looked down at the map.

He crossed his legs, put the map on his lap, and pressed his long fingers on the map.

Laura saw that this handsome young magician was wearing several rings on his fingers. Judging from the style, he knew they were expensive.

Laura's voice was also respectful again: "Yes, Mr. Magician. I heard that the lord of Steyr City is Count Maratel. There are many shops in the city, selling everything you want, and countless more. work"

Akto interrupted him with a smile on his face: "Okay then, let's go to Steyr City together. I will pay for the ticket and your resettlement fee."

Due to the memory of his past life, Akto thought that even if paper money appeared, gold should be hard currency, so he dared to make this guarantee.

Laura's turbid green eyes lit up, and she and her grandson looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The old woman wiped away her tears briskly and said with a trembling voice: "Are you telling the truth, dear magician?"

Akto showed a sunny smile again, and at some point, there was a pile of gold coins in his hands, about a dozen.

He held gold coins in each hand, tapping each other, and made a refreshing and clear sound: "Of course, if gold can still be exchanged for banknotes."

Oh my god, this young magician actually held the legendary gold coins, and he took out so many of them casually.

Sure enough, the saying "all magicians are rich" is true.

The old woman cried with joy and said, "Of course, I heard from Bartlett that one gold coin can be exchanged for two thousand yuan."

Laura suddenly stood up with a slight trembling, and knelt down in front of Akto: "Dear Master Magician, I can't repay your kindness. Now please allow me to kiss your shoes."

After saying that, she moved towards Akto's feet wearing sneakers.

Akto quickly supported her: "Get up quickly, Mrs. Laura. This is just a small thing for me, so I don't need to thank you like this."

He pulled Laura up and introduced himself: "My name is Akto, from, um, from Poke City."

This sentence was naturally made by him casually.

Laura nodded again, thinking that it was no wonder that this young man was so generous. He turned out to be from Pok City, the largest city on the mainland and the capital of the Deslor Empire.

The name of Poke City is so great that even an old woman like Laura, who has stayed in the country all her life, knows it.

"So, when are you going to leave or are you packing your things now?" Seeing Laura frozen in place, Akto reminded him warmly with a smile on his face.

Laura slapped her head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, let's go quickly, Little Richard, let's not keep Mr. Magician waiting, hurry up and pack your things."
