Chapter 113: Ms.
Wang Meiling’s Regret As the night gradually deepened, the smoke left by the fireworks was blown away by the breeze, and the city of Arnus, which had been bustling for a while, once again returned to its former peace.
The hustle and bustle that filled every street and alley before gradually died down as the celebration ended.
Looking down from Mayor Wang Meiling's villa towering on the top of the inner city wall, the crowds that had been swarming on the streets had basically dispersed, but the rows of street lamps still stood in the night, like a reflected galaxy. extending to the end of the city.
There were still soft lights sporadically shining through the windows on some apartment floors.
There are also a few places that have been specially approved to open at night.
Neon lights and projector lights of various shapes and colors, and the tall city walls as the background, perform gorgeous and dazzling light shows.
The magical colors are really amazing.
People's minds are swaying.
And such a brightly lit and colorful urban night scene was almost unimaginable on the Falmat continent five years ago.
Although it only lasted a few years from beginning to end, and in most cases the scope of activities was limited to a thousand kilometers centered on the Arnus Mountains, the arrival of modern humans on earth still started from the entire society.
It has profoundly and extensively changed the world on countless levels.
Nobles from all over the world are obsessed with modern earth sanitary facilities and entertainment; adventurers, craftsmen and businessmen who come to Arnus City to seek opportunities; indigenous farmers who enjoy bumper harvests due to new varieties and modern farming methods; and the use of wind picks , The dwarf miners with safety lights and water pumps; paper workshops and printing factories that gradually appeared all over the Falmat continent; the indigenous weavers who were in tears because of the impact of cheap cloth from the earth and went bankrupt in hundreds; Al Nu Outside the city walls, there are beautiful orc girls and beautiful girls who practice their singing and dancing skills hard every day, looking forward to joining various idol groups; they have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and they are constantly exclaiming and excited when they see the various modern buildings in Arnus City.
The endless indigenous tourists from various countries in the Falmat Continent are yes, they are the indigenous tourists in the Falmat Continent.
The middle class and upper class of the earth spend a lot of money to enjoy the unique scenery of a fantasy world.
The indigenous people of Falmat are also full of curiosity about the powerful and advanced people on earth, just like the people of third world countries on earth, they often yearn to go to New York, London and Shanghai to see the world.
Of course, for obvious reasons, they are not as lucky as Earth tourists.
It is basically impossible to be approved to go through the time and space gate to Hong Kong.
They can only see the "Earth scenery" in Arnus City.
But even so, it is enough for them to return home.
I have been talking about it with my fellow villagers for many years.
All in all, it is these different faces that make up all the living beings on the Falmat continent in this era.
Whether it is excitement and admiration, hesitation and uneasiness, or even hostility and hatred, under the torrent of the great era, they can only struggle hard to find their place.
And as the two civilizations continue to have in-depth contact, there may be many more exciting stories that will gradually appear on the stage of history.
Just like China's late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China after the Opium War, Japan's Tokugawa period after the founding of the Black Ships, and the native Indians faced with the landing of white people.
The sparks of the collision of civilizations have always been filled with the love affairs of talented men and beauties, the insights of wise men and sages, the sacrifices of people with lofty ideals, the generous lamentations of heroes, the stubbornness of ignorant and mediocre people, and the crazy pursuit of death by clowns.
A great era of turbulence and drastic changes has such a fascinating and strange charm.
However, as a VIP audience member and one of the heavyweight contestants in this turbulent era, she had to withdraw from the show before the most exciting show even started.
Although it was something that had been decided for a long time, it was really time to leave. , Wang Meiling still couldn't help but feel It's a bit regretful, just like those civil servants who have worked in a certain agency for a lifetime and are finally about to retire.
Although they usually like to complain about the hard work, poor benefits, and low salary, when they are about to retire, they still feel empty and feel It seems like something is missing Alas, at this age, it’s better to think more broadly, so that you can go home and raise your grandchildren with peace of mind, right?
Thinking of this, Mayor Wang Meiling couldn't help but sigh melancholy, but then she still turned her eyes away from the bright night scene of thousands of lights in Arnus City outside the window, and turned back to the small sofa opposite.
Above, Political Commissar Guo is slowly sipping tea.
According to the central government's plan, as the closing date of the "door" gradually approaches, the earth tourism teams coming to Falmat continent will gradually end by the end of this year.
Starting next spring, she will gradually transfer her official duties and assets to the left-behind traveler colonial group headed by Political Commissar Guo, and prepare to leave her job and return to the country.
But before that, some things still need to be discussed in advance.
In the center of the mahogany coffee table between the two of them, the giant diamond just presented by the dark elves of the Tishu clan in Schulz Forest is shining brightly under the fluorescent lamp.
Ambilight.
"About the group of dark elves of the Tishu clan in Schulz Forest, this is probably what is known so far.
As thousands of refugees from the Elbe Kingdom war and defeated bandits continue to pour into Schulz Forest , the sparsely populated dark elves are almost unable to hold on."
In the blink of an eye, Wang Meiling had calmed down her previous melancholy, put on a serious expression again, and said to Political Commissar Guo, "Faced with such a critical situation, the dark elves of the Tixiu clan intend to abandon Schulz Forest. , the whole family moved to the territory of this city, and prayed to me However, due to the racial characteristics of the elves who cannot leave the forest for a long time, and they are not prepared to accept our unified management and distribution work, we specially sent this envoy to negotiate under the banner of offering treasures, hoping to come here.
Acquire a forest as an autonomous territory."
"Well, indeed, I understand that the elves in this world cannot live without the forest, just like the fishmen cannot live without the water."
Political Commissar Guo nodded in agreement and said, "But is the Tixiu clan's combat effectiveness so poor?
It's not that they were punished by the regular army.
They are just a bunch of refugees.

Can they be pushed to this point?
Or are they too soft-hearted to dare?
Killing people, to the extent that they would rather move.”
"How come the dark elves here haven't been beaten before?
They're not some virgins who cut meat and feed eagles.
In order to protect their homeland, they have been fighting the refugees and defeated soldiers who broke into Schulz Forest for several years.
They have killed at least thousands of people. , but in the end I still can’t beat it.”
Mayor Wang Meiling explained, "After all, there are too many humans and too few elves.
The fertility rate of immortal species like elves is generally tragic.
What's more, before the Kingdom of Elbe fell into turmoil and war, the dark elves of the Tixiu clan had been destroyed.
The flame dragon wreaked havoc again, and many people died before and after Clan members.
Before they could catch their breath, another group of armed refugees came in.
These dark elves were not bad at fighting, but as the war of attrition continued, even one dark elf's life could be exchanged for five.
Even the Tixiu clan cannot bear the lives of ten refugees."
"It sounds like this group of dark elves seems to be small in number.
How many are left to migrate here?"
"There are about two hundred to three hundred dark elves left in the entire Tixiu clan.
With their long lifespans of hundreds of years and correspondingly low birth rates, we don't have to worry about these dark elf immigrants relying on their The uterine weapon expands and grows rapidly."
Mayor Wang Meiling stretched and said, "However, in about a year, this place will become your territory.
Therefore, I want to ask your opinion now, whether you agree with the future of Arnus City."
If you want to keep these dark elves, set aside a dark elf protection zone within the territory.
If you don’t want to take them in, I will persuade them to move to Earth and become immigrants.”
"Let the Tixiu clan go to the earth.
The relevant departments will agree that the dark elves are as difficult to take care of as the giant pandas."
Political Commissar Guo curled his lips at first, then suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "Wait a minute, is it possible that for such a flawed immortal species, the country Also interested”
Mayor Wang Meiling smiled meaningfully, "How could you not be interested?
After all, it is an immortal species with a lifespan of thousands of years." s: I watched the second episode of Wrath of Bahamut today, and I thought that little devil was really funny.
He actually captured the female red dragon and forced her to see the hungry and cold embarrassment of the devil clan, and then ordered the red dragon lady to come with him.
The reason for rebelling against humans is "Because I am miserable, so you must risk your life to help me."
However, the red dragon felt baffled, saying why do you devils rely on me for your affairs, and then ran away.
Alas, when asking for help, he still looks like he is dragging himself to death, as if everyone else owes him.
How did such a rebel leader come to power oshow7:
