My Magic Age

Joan quickly found the hotel owner. When he learned that Noah had this request, he immediately agreed to Noah's reservation of all the guest rooms in the hotel, and personally came forward to communicate with the tenants.

In this way, Noah generously booked the entire Bluefin Love Hotel.

Under the guidance of the hotel waiter, Noah and I went to the third floor to choose a room we liked.

Noah didn't bother to ask Jacques how he met the girl named 'Joan'.

When Noah turned around and walked up the stairs, the girl named Joan grabbed Jacques's door tightly with both hands and whispered something to him excitedly. Jacques looked triumphant and leaned against the bar. Chatting with the girl named 'Joan', I didn't rush upstairs to choose a room.

We took a short rest in our respective rooms, and then Noah proposed to go out to find a restaurant for dinner. Although we didn’t feel hungry yet, this did not affect us from going to the streets to look for Galapagos food. desire.

Perhaps for safety reasons, Knight Rand suggested eating in the hotel.

Of course, this proposal was decisively rejected by Noah and me.

Our reason is: this is Galapagos City, the largest island-style castle owned by the Mensa family on the Vashchi plane. If it is not safe here, then where else is safe?

Except for Lant, the tauren Luka was a little reluctant to go shopping.

Many times, Luka was not in a happy mood to find the most beautiful corner of the city on the street. He often became the target of the Green people's onlookers before he walked on the street for long. For the docile Tauren clan, the Green people With such great interest, some of the bolder ones even dared to run up to Luka and compare their height disparity with him.

So, I asked the Minotaur Luka to stay in the hotel.

Luka's room is on the first floor. This room is adjacent to the back street. It is a large shop that can accommodate twenty people at the same time. It is usually used to entertain the nobles' retinue who come to stay in the hotel.

Not all nobles will be generous with their money. Many nobles will let some of their servants stay in cheap Datong shops when they stay in hotels.

The tauren Luca moved into Datongbu, not because he needed to find a cheap room, but because the room had a big enough bed.

We walked to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and saw Jacques actually leaning in front of the bar, with his back to us, chatting cordially with Joan, without even noticing that a group of us were walking down the stairs together.

However, Joan, who was chatting happily with Jacques, noticed us immediately, slightly moved her body away from the bar, and looked at us shyly.

Jacques followed Joan's gaze and turned his head to see a group of us walking downstairs. Jacques asked us: "Why are you all coming down? It's not dinner time yet."

Joan, standing at the bar, said to us: "If you want to enjoy dinner, you have to wait a little longer."

Noah said to Jacques: "We want to go out for a walk, Jacques, will you go?"

"Of course, I am your guide. Where do you want to go?" Jacques patted his chest and said.

Noah said: "We want to go out for a big meal, please recommend us a specific restaurant."

Jacques said to Noah: "The room rate we paid includes breakfast and dinner, and the dinner in this hotel does not taste bad, so why not just eat it in the hotel."

Joan at the bar also nodded immediately, as if to prove that what Jacques said was true.

Noah put his arm around Jacques' shoulders and said with a smile: "We won't be able to stay in Galapagos City for too long. At this time, of course we have to go out and appreciate the scenery of this island city. Being trapped in the hotel, we can If you don’t want to go out when you see some scenery, then stay in the hotel.”

As he said that, Noah glanced behind Jacques with an ambiguous look. He looked like everyone was an adult, and he also looked like he wanted to isolate me, which made me want to be on his butt. The urge to kick hard.

We were chatting in the lobby and were preparing to go out for dinner. The hotel owner knocked on Noah’s door first and found that we were not in the room. He hurried downstairs and saw us all gathered in the lobby. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly, and told Noah that he had convinced the guests staying in the hotel, and they promised to leave before dark.

Unexpectedly, the hotel owner was very efficient, so Noah curiously asked the hotel owner: How did he do it?

The hotel owner smiled proudly and said that it was just to waive the room fees for those tenants and give those tenants the room fees and compensation that Noah promised to pay. There was no reason for them not to move.

The hotel owner also said that these guests came to Galapagos City all the way from other islands in the Vashj plane. Most of them were businessmen who wanted to do some trade. These people were very easy to communicate with, and as long as there was a profit, Picture, changing a hotel is not a big deal.

While we were talking, there were guests checking out in front of the bar. They looked at each of us with wary eyes. When they saw that among our group there were magicians wearing magic robes, and some wearing magic patterns. The knight gave up the last bit of obsession in his heart.

In fact, in the eyes of these people, I found that the hotel owner may not have told the whole story. Maybe he was telling the tenants in private how arrogant and domineering we are and how much money we spend. There is also a mysterious person among the entourage. Magicians and powerful construct knights, such a luxurious lineup can scare away a large number of people with just a little bit of talk.

When the hotel owner saw Noah grabbing a handful of gold coins and throwing them on the antique wooden bar, the smile on his face relaxed.

Then I heard that we were going out to eat delicious food in Galapagos City, so I insisted on staying in the hotel for dinner and said how delicious the food here was.

Noah waved his hand, signaling the hotel owner to stop talking.

Then he glanced at Jacques, and then said to the hotel owner who was standing aside, slightly embarrassed: "We just want to go out for a walk, but we are new to Galapagos City and are not very familiar with it. If it is convenient If so, can you please ask this lady to be our guide?”

The hotel owner said with a wry smile: "The whole hotel has been booked by you guys. I will have someone hang up a closure sign at the door of the hotel later so that no new guests will walk in rashly. Naturally, there will be no sign at the front desk." What kind of manpower is needed, but..."

He turned to Joan who was standing at the bar and asked calmly: "Are you willing to be a guide for these customers?"

There was a hint of shy joy on Joan's face, and she glanced at Jacques secretly, and saw that he was looking at her expectantly, so she said: "Boss, I have no problem, but now I have to be on duty!"

"Now, I give you a new task, which is to temporarily become a guide and take these noble young men for a walk around the Galapagos City. There are many interesting things in the Galapagos City. place,” the hotel owner said to Joan.

After hearing what the hotel owner said, Joan whispered to Jacques: "Jacques, please wait for me a moment."

Then, he ran back to the lounge like flying. After a while, he changed into a civilian dress and ran out. He stood beside Jacques a little shyly and said to me and Noah: "I don't know where you want to go yet." ?”

…

To be honest, it is difficult for Noah and I to understand Jacques’s taste. As a son of the Mensa family, although he is not the most favored one, he was definitely born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The aristocratic young master who grew up in a honey pot will never lack beautiful maids by his side. I don’t know why Jacques would like such a dark-skinned civilian girl.

Even if the most mediocre aristocratic young master grows up, even if he has no more talent, he will at least become an earl, become the consul of a small town, and will also own a large piece of land.

If you have some talent, you will get the support of the Duke. After a few years of training, you will command an army, go to a certain plane to expand territory, earn enough merit, and then you can legitimately become a marquis. , he may become the governor of a certain city in the future, and he may also establish his own private armed force.

As for those noble young masters who can pursue some dukedoms, they will receive more resources.

However, within the Mensa family. Luis Mensah is almost universally recognized as the first heir, and for so many years there has not been a new heir qualified to compete with him for inheritance rights.

If anything, Noah could barely be considered one, but Noah chose the path of magic.

Noah and I sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether the reason why Jacques so deliberately wanted to return to the Galapagos City was to regain the dignity he had lost in the Galapagos City, or whether it was specifically for the purpose of returning to the Galapagos City. Came looking for love? Maybe a little bit of both.

Although I heard that Jacques lived in Galapagos City for a period of time, and finally a plane war broke out, he ran back to Ilinas City in disgrace. He was so angry that the Duke threw a cup on the spot in the council hall of the Duke's Palace. He also completely chose to give up on Jacques and stopped spending time on him to train him into a qualified captain.

Although I don’t know some of the details, I think there must be some story hidden in it, which made Jacques become a little decadent after returning to Ilinas City, and he fell into a gambling addiction. Reluctantly, he returned to the city of Galapagos.

…

Joan is a very charming girl. Apart from her dark skin, I can't even find any fault with her.

Her eyes are very bright, and her eyelashes are like two brushes, flickering when she blinks.

She has a very hearty laugh, and her steps are not very fast, but she can always control the rhythm of the entire team. As the guide of our group, she obviously needs to walk more roads than all of us, but she is not at all I couldn't tell she was tired.

She is very familiar with every road in Galapagos City, and can often point to an inconspicuous building and tell some of its origins.

This is a city built on an island. Many houses are made of shells mixed with trimix soil. The newly built houses are no different from ordinary houses. Only after being washed away by countless rains, they finally When the outer layer of Sanhe soil falls down, the shells of various colors hidden in the wall will be revealed. At this time, the beauty of the shell house will gradually be revealed.

The characteristic of the island city is that the area of ​​the island limits the scale of the city.

The Galapagos City has now reached a bottleneck. The entire island is built with houses, and many houses are stacked on top of each other. When walking through some alleys, looking up at the sky, it looks like a "slit in the sky".

In order to resist the natives of the Vashki plane, a high wall was built on the coastline of the island, which completely surrounded the island of more than ten square kilometers in the city. Joan told us that you have to stand on the wall to see the dock.

This island city is very large. Walking on the stone street, you can see some vagrants lying on the street everywhere. Many people are just wearing a piece of rags woven with seaweed silk, lying casually in the shade of the street, revealing their skinny bodies. Some people are sleeping drowsily, some people just lie quietly without moving, some people curl up and make faint groans, and some people look at the pedestrians on the street with a pleading look.

Looking at the wanderers on the street reminded me of some experiences in Guluding Town. At that time, the Pai Plateau had just experienced a great famine that had not been seen in a hundred years. Many orcs gathered in Guluding Town, and such scenes were everywhere.

I never thought that there would be such a scene in a corner of Galapagos City, and I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

I have always believed that the lives of the Green people are a bit too comfortable and enjoyable. The reason is actually inseparable from the rich life.

Some people also say that it is the continuous supply of resources from hundreds of other planes to the main plane of the Green Empire that makes the empire extremely rich in materials. The unprecedented prosperity of the Green Empire is built on the exploitation of hundreds of planes.

In the city of Pereira in the Yero plane, we did not see this at the time, and at that time, due to the plane war, a large number of merchants, adventurers, immigrants, etc. gathered in Pereira City, waiting for the portal to open and return to the Green Empire.

Although Pereira was overcrowded at that time, it was not like the situation in Galapagos. The homeless people lying on the street had blank expressions on their faces. I could not even feel a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"What happened to them?" Ying Li looked at the homeless people on the street in confusion and asked Qiong curiously.

"Nothing, maybe they are hungry. Just give them a little food and they will jump up from the ground immediately!" Qiong shrugged helplessly and explained to Ying Li.

"Hungry! Is there a lack of food in this city?" Noah asked in astonishment.

Jacques sighed slightly, glanced at Qiong, and asked her: "Is this situation more serious than the last time I was there?"

Qiong nodded helplessly.

"Has no one stood up to find a solution?" Jacques stood there for a moment and asked in a lost voice.

"Who would stand up for this kind of thing? Could it be those noble lords in this city?" Qiong pouted and said something to Jacques.

Then he looked at me, Noah and others apologetically...
