Noisy sound waves are coming, the strong wind is blowing across the river bank, the air is dry and hot, and the gray port is a busy scene. A navigable passenger ship has just entered the berth, and passengers from different regions walk down the ship ladder in groups, while looking and examining the not-to-be-distant The wind brought their whispers, which were indistinct among the rattling roars that surged out after the cargo hold opened:

"Is this the cargo ship of the Gentiles?"

"Who came down?"

"And what did they bring?"

They exclaimed:

"Oh, my, my! That's—"

"Duck!"

"So many ducks!"

No matter how strong the headwind is, it can't blow away the smell produced by thousands of live poultry piled up behind her. Messedas covered her face with cotton gauze, and stood almost suffocated in the crowd, watching the receptionist in Marci City beaming with joy. come to them.After a simple handover, Messedas and some people from Industry City left the dock, and some people stayed behind, and worked with the porters to skillfully move the duck cages from the cargo hold to the unloading area, stacking them layer by layer. On the waiting flatbed carriage, and then headed to the feedlot with the flow of traffic.

They walked out of the freight yard, crossed the warehouse area, passed through street checkpoints, changed clothes in the disinfection room, and entered the city from a direction different from that of passengers.The ban on entry into the city is a bit strict, not because of how powerful enemies Mahi City is facing. Multiple disasters have made life difficult for all the lords on the Buber Plain. The entire archdiocese was in a state of desperation, so it could only temporarily put the city of heresy aside.

What makes Maxi City stand ready is all kinds of epidemic diseases that come with a large number of refugees.

Since Maxi City does not reject anyone who comes, it has to deal with it. With the strong assistance of the Industrial City and through the large-scale application of several commonly used antibiotics, the most common symptoms of the epidemic, such as fever and diarrhea, disappear most of the time. With effective relief, nutrient-rich and stable meals, and a relatively clean and comfortable treatment environment, most of the refugees who were able to persist in Mahasi City for treatment were relatively young. Combining multiple factors, the Epidemic Prevention Department of Mahhi City uploaded it to the industry The diagnosis and treatment data in the city have reached the effect required when the plan was formulated. If the real population healed by the "Gentiles" can be known to other countries and regions, I am afraid that it can only be convincing if it is explained as a miracle.But the sanitation work in the city has not been made easier at all, and the relevant staff have not even had much time to be proud of their achievements, because the recorded population of Mahi City has exceeded [-] and is still growing.

One hundred thousand, this is a number that can be compared with the population directly under the jurisdiction of the industrial city, and its frightening features do not need more language explanations.Among the population of 10 people, the number of outsiders has far exceeded that of the natives of Maxi City, and the male to female ratio is frighteningly high. If you are not careful, it will be overturned instantly.

However, as far as Messedas has seen along the way, from the vast and well-ordered hard wharf to the tidy, tall and well-guarded warehouse area, as well as the skilled and calm sentry posts, and now walking on the main road of the city , Seeing not many pedestrians with calm expressions on the side of the road, it all shows that the pioneers of the industrial city have a stable and strong control over Marsh City.

Although Messedas already knew before coming here that Maxi City is actually divided into two cities, the East and the West. The West City she is in now has concentrated the construction achievements of most pioneers, and there are less than 3 people living here. Divided into ten regions, Dongcheng, where the majority of the population resides, must be very different.

Along the extremely wide straight street, she walked quietly with others towards the center of the city.Her fellow shipmates and hostess chatted in a friendly manner as they walked, the elf pulled off the gauze on her face, and turned her head slightly from side to side to observe the new city that completely wiped out the old Marci city.Because of the needs of urban construction, the pioneers here use a lot of animal power, so there is always some smell that cannot be dissipated in the wind, but Methedas is not even able to bear this, she has been taking care of her own in the forest. The two beloved horses, in order to avoid prejudice after leaving their homes, also hid their faces with their compatriots and entered some famous cities along the way to experience the customs of different regions.

Whatever mood they began their journey with, the result of these brief excursions was almost always a rush to leave, shocked that so many humans lived in such indescribable ways.

Compared with the human cities they had been to, the industrial city that the elves finally arrived at was better than what they had learned in the communications of the same clan, than what they had imagined before the trip, and even more beautiful than what they had expected on the way.Although the name is extremely boring, it is a city of fantasy that is almost sharply beautiful. It has a beauty of rationality and order that is different from that of the elf forest. belongs to.It is a city that opens its mind to all races, and offers little in return for the willingness to learn, to teach young and old, and to spare them the worries of the future.Although the industrial city is not pure and flawless, it is a miracle that it exists in the world.

As the best student of the sorcerer and one of the founders of the industrial city, Marci City, which is fully controlled by the son of the dragon, also bears the strong imprint of the industrial city, such as this main road, and the almost completely unified buildings beside the main road Shape: All three to four-story long-span buildings, with white walls and red tiles, almost no decoration except a lot of glass, and even the wooden railings are horizontal and vertical. Although there is almost no aesthetic feeling in the eyes of elves, just think about it How did the city start to be built, and how long did it last? The overly regular and monotonous picture in front of me began to oppress people's breathing.

But here is not blindly rigid, the elves look down at the roadside, the green belt is full of vitality, and the migratory locusts outside the city are devouring everything, but here is like being shrouded by an invisible barrier, and there is not much disgusting to see Plants of different species grow at intervals in a neat and messy way, blooming or bearing fruit roughly: the vines are wrapped around the support, and the broad leaves have deep veins, almost forming a green wall; the tall The fluffy flower branches hang down from the plants, under the bright yellow flowers, the light green fruits gradually swell; the delicate shrub-like plants are luxuriant and crowded, and the ground under their feet can hardly be seen. There is light shining in the gaps; occasionally there are rows of straight grasses, soft and wide leaves, green or white petioles, and large low plants. The elf can distinguish many kinds of vegetables that have appeared on the table, compared to what she saw in the industrial city. The planting method that is too focused on yield, these small vegetable gardens are much more casual, presenting a more pleasing and vigorous aesthetic feeling to the elves.

Empty or fully loaded carriages rattled past on the road, and the driver controlled the horses not to get too close to the side of the road. Messedas saw people picking fruits and vegetables with baskets on the back, and then realized that they were going to the cafeteria , the passenger and cargo ship arrived in Mahi City in the morning, and it was indeed almost lunch time.

They didn't go to eat right away, but first went to the nearby dormitory to arrange their luggage, and then went to the cafeteria together.For the first time in this city, everyone has a natural calmness when eating and drinking. Maybe the canteens in Maxi City are similar to those in Industrial City. Even the orientation of the windows is similar. The difference may be the dishes and tastes. The supplies must be tight at this time, and there is still half a hard-boiled egg on everyone's dinner plate.

The food wasn't delicious, but it wasn't overwhelming either, because there was an elf in the line, and their new team received some attention from others in the cafeteria, who adjusted their seats to keep the elf out of the way. They looked at each other for a while, and then talked about the work they were about to start while eating.These things had little to do with the elves. She silently listened to their conversation without expressing any opinions. No one specifically spoke to her, but the atmosphere was not awkward.Methedas didn't dislike this way of getting along with people, she even liked it, they made her feel at ease.

Beauty, longevity and strength, the natural endowments of these races may be halos or disasters in other places. In any case, the elves always have to stay away from the crowd.However, in Industrial City, although people will express some admiration and admiration for them, they will not feel fanatical emotions. The arrival of the elves did not stir up any waves in their stable lives. into the new life of the industrial city.They lived in that city as if they were ordinary people. They had never been harassed, and they didn't have much time to think about why they were not harassed. There was a lot of new knowledge for them to learn. There is a shortage of manpower in many places, and everyone has to get busy.

This is actually not difficult to understand. Since the elf queen and the sorcerer established communication across space, the two have always had a good relationship. In the past few years, I have gotten used to these guests with outstanding looks. Not to mention the beauty, I am afraid that no one can compare with a glorious life like Meravia. Even this Dragon Lord is obeying the rules of the industrial city for the magician. There is really nothing special about these elves.

After a simple lunch, they returned to the dormitory to pack their luggage, took a short rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey, and then got up and went to the administrative center of Marsh City to accept the new work arrangement.The highest person in charge here may meet with them. After all, Messedas, as a visiting scholar, needs to confirm with him the authority she can have in this city before starting her own activities.

She saw the Highness.

There was a huge white room, log bookshelves, and a long black table. The tall man behind the table stood up and stretched out his hand to her: "Welcome to Marsh City, ma'am."

"...Good day, Your Highness." Messedas whispered.

Shia said in the letter: "I heard that you will go to Maxi City, which is the field that the most beloved student of the magician is running. I am ashamed to say that I don't know much about this son of the dragon, although I have also He has some contacts, but only in the letter to you, I dare to admit that this too young Dragon Clan makes me feel more inhuman than His Majesty the Dragon Lord..."

Seeing is worse than hearing for a long time, this His Highness is indeed impressive.

Dragon Son opened her letter of introduction, and the elf sat on the chair with her feet together, feeling an involuntary sense of weakness.This His Highness did not speak harshly to her, but Messedas still felt that life was like years.

Fan Tianlan folded the letter paper and looked up at her, "Understood, I will arrange it for you."

His arrangement was quick, and the elf immediately got a few work permits. These certificates can help her move freely in most areas of the city, except for the power station and a few warehouses that cannot be easily accessed. The persons in charge of affairs at all levels make appointments for conversations, and the reference room of the communications office and the city library are open to her. On the premise of not affecting normal work, the printing workshop and radio station will also provide her with convenience.These conditions are absolutely generous, and Messedas has no objections.

It wasn't until he walked out of the three-story building of the provisional government that the elf let out a small, long breath, and couldn't help wiping off the non-existent sweat with gauze.

She also met the Dragon Lord in Industrial City. The majesty who looked like a beautiful young man was cheerful and easy-going. Messedas also felt pressured by his side. After all, anyone could easily feel his non-human nature. Even though there is no flaw on the outside, the power of the Dragon Lord has been deeply restrained, and people will still not approach the lava pulsating volcano casually.And as the only child of the Dragon Lord, although this His Highness was too young to awaken the talent of the race, he also showed extraordinary demeanor early on, such as the breathtaking power and the pair of eyes that did not reflect any emotion.

Such a different kind of life... is not only the son of the ruthless dragon, but also the most beloved student of the magician.Almost everyone believed that he would be the heir to the will of the sorcerer.

Mahic City is proof.

Messedas looked at the road under her feet and became absorbed in meditation until someone called from behind her.

The support staff who were on the same boat as her had already gone to register their own information, and then they would disperse and go to various corners of the city to start new jobs.After saying goodbye to these considerate partners, Messedas continued to go to the communication office accompanied by the receptionist. They didn't need to go far, and the elves soon saw the tall antennas. The communication office sounded The level is not too high, but the institution occupies an entire building, but it is not as long as the administrative center where the provisional government is located. There are many shadows.

Soon someone came to greet them. The elf showed his work card and letter of introduction, and then he met the person in charge of the communications department. It was a serious young man. He asked her intentions in a gentle manner, and then arranged a temporary guide for her.

It was a handsome, shy boy named Artoria, a native of Maxi City, who was already preparing to become a full-time employee of the Communications Department.I don't know how the identity of the former city lord's son will affect his future, but the elf clearly feels his strong sense of belonging and pride in New Marci City.Accompanied by this young man, Messedas got a general understanding of the basic structure of this large building that integrates many functions. Although the name is called the Communication Office, in fact, this building is only three stories high, but it is surprisingly long. The building of three meeting rooms and nearly one hundred offices can be considered as the information center of Mahic City. This organization collects, summarizes, analyzes, uploads, undertakes, analyzes and releases. Many people are busy here, countless papers are carried back and forth, and the smell of ink permeates the air everywhere. The elf tried not to hinder others to observe the work process of different departments. Some people noticed her, but their curiosity was very limited.

The Industrial City also has an information center, a confidential center that is built and operated by a magician, and the air is cold and clean. Messedas wrote a confidentiality contract and was able to enter and visit it through the magician's handwriting. Even the language is barren, and the communication office in Marci City seems to be quite complicated and sophisticated when it is aware of the unfathomable gap between the other world and the present world. It reveals the unavoidable disadvantages caused by the rapid urban expansion.

Even so, such a branch with many areas to improve has already exceeded what Mahi City deserves as a city.

There is no King Capital of Orbis.

Although King Orbis already has three radio stations, the escort ship guarding Fusong Port also has a complete set of communication equipment, and the personnel are more professional, which is sufficient for use. However, the Buber Plain, where Marsh City is located, has a large population and the separatist forces Interlaced, facing the continuous test of floods, droughts and locust plagues, the governance situation faced by the two places is very different, but Messedas still feels...Orbis is just "a beginning and an end", but Maxi City may be "elected place".

And it wasn't just her who felt that way.When the elves settled down and planned to learn more about the city from the reference room, the sound of people working could be heard from the editorial room next to the wall. Methedas accepted some information actively and passively, and learned more or less about the city. mental state of a considerable number of people.

She recalled that when she was in Industrial City, she once asked the magician sharply: "My lord, as long as we can subdue the majority of people with violence and wealth, this world will be reversed from black to white, for example, changing the name of aggression to the righteousness of salvation." , replacing the old wooden shackles with new cold iron chains, but preaching that this is true liberation?"

The moment the words came out, the demon wolf who was sitting with his legs crossed put down his legs and turned to look at her. Under the pressure of those golden and green beast eyes, Messedas was walking on the abyss of death and almost suffocated. .

The magician gently waved his hand at the wolf, "This is a very good question, ma'am, of course, it would be better if you don't call me that." He looked at her and said softly, "Back to the topic itself, we can't Avoid complex issues beyond survival. For example, if there is no external interference, the way the world operates outside the industrial city is already a reasonable and optimal solution that people have found under limited conditions. Even without us, human society will use its own Continue to move forward in the same way and develop a brilliant civilization that is not inferior to the other side. However, under the two premise of the natural freedom of human will and natural selection, we meddlers will also have some problems. For example, under the existing order, the nobles , mages and churches, the ruling class of the trinity, where did their legitimacy come from? If they are not disturbed by us, how will they continue human civilization? "

The magician said that she was very knowledgeable and familiar with the long history recorded by the forest clan for mankind, so he asked her, how did the first king of mankind appear, and how did the last empire die?He asked her questions peacefully without presupposing her answer. His attitude was so gentle that Messedas was in a panic while he was waiting, and all the words she had prepared for it were useless.Not all questions in this world have answers, and not all questions should be answered. If the elf could answer these questions of the wizard, she would not come to Industrial City.She may be able to argue, but language without facts is nothing more than dream raving, especially in front of the magician——

Looking back with shame, she was obsessed with this provocative way of gaining the attention of the sorcerer, perhaps because she hadn't been out for so long, and the trip was so relaxing and enjoyable, that she somehow wanted to actively create some special remember.However, her sharpness can be considered from the bottom of her heart: Compared with the many countries that have been seen along the way like stagnant water and slight waves, with little change, everything here is so good that it is almost perfect, and perfection is like an illusion.But if there is no future war announced by the monarch of the Far East, will the magician create a city like Industrial City with the purpose of becoming the core, and guide and support his followers to extend outward as the city's limbs?

Industrial City turns all the people living in it into a part of it. People trust and love the Warlock from the bottom of their hearts, and never question his direction.It is the sorcerer who determines the shape of the city and the city's pioneers. Although Messedas is also worried about the omen of another rift war, in her intuition, the sorcerer doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about this matter.The reason why this man with dark brows and eyes is almost melancholy decided to spread the civilization of the other world in this way may never have anything to do with it.

It also has nothing to do with the Highness of Maxi City... Maybe it doesn't have much to do with it.

While writing a thesis in the reference room, Messedas was thinking about how she would join the editorial room next door. She would live in Marci City for a while, and she couldn’t be a person who could only wander around, and she didn’t have Mera. As beautiful as His Royal Highness Via.But it is still difficult for her to go out. According to the outstanding hearing of the elves, the working group closest to her starts and ends with cursing the lord and the king every day. The vitality is like a flame, although Their feelings are not difficult to understand—Maxi City is accepting new defectors every day. Compared with the already orderly and stable production areas, the work of the epidemic quarantine area and the new five districts has always been the top priority. Every batch of miserable refugees brings a new bloody story, and as the disaster worsens, the actions of the lords become more and more cruel.

But no matter how many refugees Mahi City accepts, no lord will be grateful to the foreigners for this. Since the kingdom still cannot organize a war to interrupt the expansion of Mahi City, they have to try their best to give these hateful people the benefit of others. The invaders increase the obstacles.

——They have shown excellent talents in this kind of place.

Rumors against the Gentiles spread like wildfire in all directions, and the direct result of these malicious rumors was that the population flocking to Mahi City ushered in another surge, and the population in Mahi City exceeded 8 In the end, the difficulty of urban management and construction has far exceeded what the original group of managers could undertake. In May, when the first signs appeared, the Industrial City sent a large-scale assistance team here. The investment has effectively helped Maxi City stabilize the situation, and the signs of chaos died after the germination. Now that the harvest of the farmland outside the city is imminent, the rumors about the pioneers have changed again.

This time the center of the rumors was the turn of His Highness.

This taciturn, strong-armed Highness has never concealed his appearance. There are special features about his appearance that have been circulated when he first came to Maxi City. Xicheng added a heinous crime, but Maxi city has already been charged with a hundred of the same serious crimes, and there will be another hundred more in the foreseeable future. The pagan invaders in the city don't care about it. The untouchables who turn their backs on their masters when they are full have no faith-in order to survive, they don't care about begging for mercy from the devil at all.

After the remnant became the new leader of the Gentiles, the immoral city swelled at an even more terrifying rate.Some people in the kingdom had a genius idea of ​​using a large number of refugees to crush the city of Mahi, and when they implemented it, in order to let more people go to that city, the lord and the church even worked hard to arrange the monster's plan against their will. He has acquired a new identity, so that whether the black-haired city lord of Mahi City is a survivor, a cursed prince, a fallen knight, or an orphan of the demon clan, various legends are confused, and only a few points are common in the rumors : He is very powerful, extremely talented, extremely young, and... extremely handsome.

When he is so handsome, as long as he takes a look, a girl will willingly offer her soul to him.

Just because she believed these rumors, a widow with a territory actually drove a carriage, took her daughter and family wealth to the city of Maxi. After such a miracle happened, the lord and the church seemed to realize what stupid things they had done , had to spend more effort to clear up the rumors, but it was like no one could take back a piece of wind, and no one could take back what they had said. The thing that gave soul and body?Wouldn't there be so many ignorant women infatuated with a false image?

In some intelligence, it seems that the man really had a teacher...

So there is a source of power for the new ruler of Maxi City - because he is willing to become the confinement of a chicken-skinned and white-haired magician who has lived for an unknown number of years and is physically and mentally filthy, so he is now extraordinary status, but blasphemy is unacceptable, and his black hair and black eyes are proof that he is rejected by the gods.

"…………"

Messedas listened to the scolding in the editorial room next door, holding her head, thinking about the quiet and elegant adult she saw in Industrial City.Then she stood up, opened the door and went straight to the next door.

"Rumors! Slander! Viciousness! Extremely despicable! These bastards, their souls are thrown on the ground, and they don't even eat dogs!"
