Great time travel

Chapter 1, Ms. Wang Meiling's Regrets
As the night gradually darkened, the smoke left by the fireworks was blown away by the breeze, and Arnus City, which had been bustling for half a day, once again regained its former calm.The hustle and bustle that filled every street and alley before gradually died down as the celebration ended.

Looking down from the towering villa on the top of the inner city wall of the female mayor Wang Meiling, the crowds that were surging on the street before have basically dispersed, but the rows of street lamps still stand in the night, like a reflected galaxy. extending to the end of the city.In the windows of some apartment floors, soft lights are still shining sporadically.There are also a few places that are specially approved to be open at night. Neon lights and projection lights of various shapes and colors, and the tall city wall as the background, put on a gorgeous and dazzling light show. The magical and colorful colors are really amazing. People are swaying.

And such a brightly lit and colorful urban night scene was almost unimaginable on the mainland of Farmat five years ago.

——Although it was only a few years from the beginning to the end, and the range of activities in most cases was limited to within a thousand kilometers centered on Mount Arnus, the arrival of modern people on Earth still started from the entire Countless layers of society have changed the world profoundly and broadly.

Aristocrats from all over the world obsessed with modern Earth's sanitary facilities and entertainment culture; adventurers, craftsmen, and merchants who came to the city of Arnus in search of opportunities; native farmers who reaped bountiful harvests thanks to new breeds and modern farming methods; used jackhammers Dwarf miners with safety lamps and water pumps; paper workshops and printing factories appearing in various parts of the Farmat continent; hundreds of thousands of aboriginal weavers who went bankrupt due to the shock of cheap cloth from the earth; Outside the city walls of Arnus City, they are practicing singing and dancing skills every day, looking forward to joining the orc girls and beautiful girls of various idol groups; they have traveled a long distance from thousands of miles away, and they are amazed by the various modern buildings in Alnus City , Excited indigenous tourists from various countries in the Farmat continent—yes, they are the indigenous tourists from the Farmat continent!When the middle class and upper class of the earth are willing to spend a lot of money in order to enjoy the different scenery of the fantasy world.The natives of the Farmat continent are also full of curiosity about the powerful and advanced people on earth, just like the people of the third world countries on the earth, they often yearn to go to New York, London and Shanghai to see the world.

Of course, due to obvious reasons, they are not as lucky as Earth tourists, and it is basically impossible for them to be approved to go to Hong Kong through the time and space gate, and they can only see the "earth scenery" in Arnus... But even so, it is enough for them After returning home, I talked with the folks for many years.

All in all, it is such different faces that make up all the living beings on the Farmat continent in this era.Whether it is excitement and worship, hesitation and restlessness, or even hostility and hatred, under the torrent of the great era, they can only struggle hard to find their own position.

And with the continued in-depth contact between the two civilizations, there may be many more exciting stories, which will gradually enter 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 Ship, and the Indian natives facing the white landing.In the sparks of the collision of civilizations, there are always full of the romantic love of the gifted and the beautiful, the insights of the wise and the sages, the sacrifices of the people with lofty ideals, the generous elegy of the heroes, the obstinacy of the ignorant, and the madness of the clown...

A great era of turbulence and drastic change has such a fascinating and strange charm.

However, as a VIP audience and one of the heavyweight contestants in this era of prosperity, she had to withdraw and leave the stage before the most exciting show appeared... Although it was a matter that had been decided long ago, it was really coming soon When leaving, Wang Meiling still couldn't help feeling a little regretful, just like those civil servants who have worked in a certain agency all their lives and are finally about to retire—although they always like to complain about hard work, poor benefits, and low salary, but really When I am about to retire, I still feel empty in my heart, as if something is missing...

Alas, at this age, I should think about it a little bit, so that I can go home to raise my grandchildren at ease, can't I?

Thinking of this, Mayor Wang Meiling couldn't help but sighed melancholy, but after that, she still turned her gaze away from the bright night view 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 plan of the central government, as the closing date of the "gate" is gradually approaching, the earth tourism teams who came to the mainland of Farmat will end one after another by the end of this year.Starting next spring, she will gradually transfer her official duties and assets to the left-behind traverser colonial group headed by Political Commissar Guo, and is preparing to leave her job and return to China.

But before that, some things still need to be discussed in advance - in the center of the mahogany coffee table between the two, the giant diamond just offered by the dark elves of the Schulz Forest Tisch clan is shining brightly under the fluorescent light Brilliant, radiant.

"... About the dark elves of the Tixiu clan in the Schulz Forest, this is probably the case. As thousands of refugees from the war of the Elbe Kingdom and the rout of the bandits continue to pour into Shuer In Zi 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 Commissar Guo, "...Faced with such a critical situation, the dark elves of the Tixiu clan deliberately want to give up Shuer The whole family moved to the city's territory in the Ziz Forest and prayed for our protection. However, due to the ethnic characteristics of the elves who cannot leave the forest for a long time, they are not ready to accept our unified management and distribution work, so they specially sent this envoy. They came here to negotiate under the banner of presenting treasures, and want to obtain a forest here as an autonomous territory."

"...Well, indeed, I understand that elves in this world cannot live without the forest, just like murlocs cannot live without water."

Commissar Guo nodded and said in agreement, "...But, is the Tixiu clan's combat effectiveness so bad? It's not that they were attacked by the regular army, but just a bunch of refugees, can they be pushed to this point? Or are they You are so soft-hearted that you don't dare to kill people, and you would rather move?"

"...Why haven't you fought? The dark elves here are not some kind of virgin who cut flesh and fed eagles. In order to protect their homeland, they have been fighting with the refugees and broken soldiers who broke into Schulz Forest for several years. They killed at least There are thousands of them, but in the end they still can’t beat them!”

Mayor Wang Meiling explained, "...After all, there are too many humans and too few elves. The birth 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 were It has been ravaged by Yanlong once, and many clan members died before and after. Before they could recover, armed refugees poured in. These dark elves are not bad at fighting, but as the war of attrition continues , even if the life of one dark elf is exchanged for the lives of fifty refugees, their Tixiu clan can't bear it!"

"...It sounds like there aren't many of these dark elves? How many are left to migrate here?"

"...There are about [-] to [-] dark elves left in the entire Tixiu clan. With their long lifespan of hundreds of years and the corresponding low birth rate, we don't have to worry about these dark elf immigrants. With the rapid expansion and growth of the uterine weapon..."

Mayor Wang Meiling stretched her waist and said, "...But, in a year or so, this place will become your territory. So, I would like to ask your opinion, whether you agree to be in the future Arnou Set aside a dark elf protection area within the city of Si? If you want to keep these dark elves, then that’s fine. If you don’t want to take the trouble, I will persuade them to move to the earth as immigrants..."

"...Let the Tixiu clan go to the earth? Will the relevant departments agree? Dark elves are as difficult to serve as giant pandas..." Political commissar Guo curled his lips first, then suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "...Wait, is it true for The country is also interested in such a flawed longevity species?"

Mayor Wang Meiling smiled meaningfully, "...how can you not be interested? After all, it is a long-lived species with a lifespan of thousands of years!"

PS: Watching the second episode of "The Wrath of Bahamut" today, I feel that the little devil is really funny. He actually caught the female red dragon and forced her to see the embarrassing situation of the demon family suffering from hunger and cold, and then ordered Miss Red Dragon to follow He rebelled against human beings together on the grounds that "because I am miserable, so you have to risk your life to help me", while the red dragon felt baffled, saying why you rely on me for your devil's affairs?Then escaped.

Alas, begging for help is still such a posture of dragging to death, as if everyone owes him, how did such a rebel leader come to power?
