Chapter 98 Rest Time (Ten) (Updated)
"Wow, I finally waited until you came out."
The elf lady jumped out of nowhere. She was really patient and waited from the afternoon until the city returned to night.
Ji Lin was not familiar with this city. If Miss Elf left the house number and address, the other party would not know how long it would take to search in this complicated city. She could only find a bookstore where she could directly see the cake and pastry shop, and flipped through the book in boredom. Occasionally, she looked up and watched the long conversation between the two in the store not far away, which seemed not to be tiring.
Miss Elf decided to leave a good impression on her future boss.
Competent subordinates cannot cause their bosses too much trouble.
She first complained that Ji Lin stayed in the store for too long, and then asked Ji Lin with excitement.
"How is it, how is it, how does it feel to chat with the youngest senior priest?"
"Senior priest...ah, you mean Alicia."
"It feels like she is very good-looking and has a great temperament?"
Ji Lin fell into thinking.
"Alicia is currently the youngest senior priest. However, she will not truly become a senior priest until after the Holy Day celebration, because she can only take up teaching positions after the age of 18."
Miss Elf hummed a few words and led him to walk on the more glorious streets of Telan. The city under the night reflected the color of the city itself, the rising lampposts, the noisy and prosperous streets, businessmen standing on the streets, and horse-drawn carriages. Continuously.
Under the night, the city begins to reveal its own appearance. This city, which has not yet touched the modern era, has already shown its own prosperity that is close to modern times.
During the day, Teran is solemn and elegant, while at night, Teran has a more urban atmosphere.
Skitarii wearing heavy armor that I had never seen before also took to the streets. They were dressed in pure white armor, their faces were covered by square helmets, a decorative cloak hung behind them, and there was a gun that was three points taller than them. Spear.
Their duties are the same as the police guards, patrolling and protecting the city.
"But she is only the final step away from becoming a real high-level priest."
"You know quite a lot."
Ji Lin praised that he had just tried his best to avoid discussing the other party's identity. Once such things as identity are discussed, it is easy for people to stop discussing the other party and things and focus on the other party with that identity.
"Damn it, how could I not know that the staff made of saplings that the bastard in the city hall wants to take away will most likely end up in her hands."
Miss Elf waved her little fist angrily.
"I won't give the sapling to anyone."
Ji Lin nodded in response, indicating that he had understood her firm attitude.
Following her footsteps, the elf has been in this city longer than him and knows the topography of this city-state better. All he needs to do is follow the good elf lady.
I haven’t seen such a prosperous night scene for a long time.
The territory in his previous life could only be described as a hive city. Excessive piles of machines and dense population pushed urbanization to the extreme just for supply and expansion. Poisonous gas and sewage filled the lower areas, but the city's production efficiency was not. It is difficult to go further, and every policy adjustment will only lead to a downward slope in the territory's production capacity.
The death spiral has tightened its grip on the city.
That city is dead.
He didn't know the right path, but he had seen the mistakes.
I bought some barbecue and some local drinks for Miss Elf who had been hungry all afternoon.
Barbecue was what she requested. The fat and oily skewers made her unable to move forward after being hungry all afternoon.
Until Ji Lin asked her, the elves he had met were all vegetarians.
"Huh? Where did you get that stereotype? Only some old-fashioned people still stick to their vegan rules."
Miss Elf dealt fiercely with the grilled meat skewers of unknown meat in front of her. The various sauces sprinkled on top enhanced its taste to a higher level.
It smells really good.
Unfortunately, he had already stuffed his stomach in the pastry shop.
While drinking milk tea and eating cake, there is a beautiful girl chatting with you next to you, so much so that he is feeling a little overwhelmed now.
After all, I had made her wait for so long, and I felt a little ashamed, but I was having such a good time chatting with Alicia that I immediately forgot about the time.
Good time always passes very quickly.
"Hey, I'm curious."
Miss Elf suddenly turned around, her emerald green pupils fell on him, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with cumin and chili red oil that had not been wiped off.
"What did she say to you when she finally got up?"
That was a very rare etiquette that a foreign bumpkin like Ji Lin couldn't understand. As an elf who had been living in Telan for many years, she had only seen it briefly.
"Nothing, she invited me to attend the holy day celebration that will be held in a week."
Ji Lin said: "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Oh - did you agree?"
Miss Elf asked in a long tone.
"Promise."
Miss Elf choked hard.
"puff--"
Ji Lin looked at her in confusion, wondering why she had such a big reaction.
"Sir, please take a look at our propaganda,"
The hooded young man walked up to him and handed out a white poster. Ji Lin looked up and saw that for some reason there were suddenly a few more hooded men wearing different costumes from ordinary priests on the street. They were similar to Zhou Zhou. Like the hooded man in front of him, he distributed the leaflets in his hands.
The priest uniforms of the Church of Light do not have hoods.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Ji Lin made way for him and turned around to bypass him.
At first, he thought it was some kind of activity, just like the shops that handed out flyers to you when you were shopping on Blue Star to attract customers. However, his instinct as an officer gave him a slight sense of crisis.
These hooded people were quickly taken away by the Guardians of the Church on charges of disturbing public order, but the Guardians of the Church did not use violence during the entire operation.
Ji Lin picked up the poster that the young man had dropped on the ground. On it, a sharp golden arrow was added to the most obvious double ring of the Church of Light. Behind it was still the statue of the Goddess of Light, with the solemn and gentle face carrying the supreme divinity.
"The footprints of God are in a higher world, we must move forward."
"If we stay where we are, we will not find the real miracles."
"We have been in this unchanging world for thousands of years..."
"Their arrival is God's revelation for us to move forward!"
(It took me a few days to finish this real outline, it should be very interesting, cover my face, the recent update time is a bit confusing, anyway, sorry!)
