Although the Midsummer Festival has just passed and the people have just experienced a grand celebration, people's enthusiasm is far from exhausted.
The Lille Tavern was particularly lively this evening. Not only did the citizens of the Territory need a place to relax and relax after a long day's work, but also because today, almost everyone was informed that the Territory would have an opportunity to travel at public expense.
And the most important thing is that the destination of the trip is not anywhere in the main plane, but in a completely unfamiliar alien plane.
Today, with the continuous deepening of magic enlightenment courses, most of the people in the territory are no longer the ordinary farmers who only cared about their own one-third of an acre of land. As their horizons broaden, they have naturally developed a desire for the outside world.
of curiosity.
So when the Government Affairs Office announced that everyone would have the opportunity to obtain this trip to another dimension, a big discussion began that affected the entire territory.
The tavern in Lille is just a place where the residents are relatively concentrated. Similar discussions still exist in other places where people gather.
It's just that the Lille Tavern is more lively. The hotel owner's second son, York, is the first batch of new mages under the new system of the Tower of Time. He will occasionally come to the Tavern to help, tell some magic anecdotes, or perform a few tricks.
, can often push the atmosphere to a climax.
Today was no exception, and compared to the past, York was working extra hard today, telling vividly the magical anecdotes he learned at the Tower of Time, and creating illusions that kept people's appetites high.
"I heard that the first stop of this trip to another dimension is a complete water world. Although most people can only watch it from the floating city, it is better than countless outsiders, let alone other than the water world.
, and there are other more magical worlds.”
"Mr. York, you said that world is all water, how do people live there?" Someone asked loudly, which immediately aroused a burst of agreement.
"I haven't been there either, so how could I know? But I guess there shouldn't be humans like you and me there, but there might be some races that can live underwater, such as the fish-men that are no longer common now."
"Then if we go, can we only stay on the floating city?"
"No, the Tower of Time will provide equipment or spells to allow some people to experience the magical different world. Of course, you also expect everyone to experience it completely. There are so many people in the territory but only so many mages. We will be exhausted.
It can’t be done!”
York spread his hands and very frankly stated the shortcomings of the current Tower of Time, but this did not cause dissatisfaction among the guests in the tavern. After all, they could fully understand the objective constraints.
But York also said: "It is true that a world that is not suitable for human survival like the water world cannot be experienced by everyone, but there are also some worlds that are suitable for human survival or short-term survival. If there are no special dangers, those worlds can certainly be experienced
Everyone is free to move around the floating city."
York's words immediately aroused people's interest, and many people immediately asked: "In addition to the water world, what other different worlds are there?"
"I only know some gossip. I can't guarantee whether it's accurate or not. Don't blame me if it's not accurate."
"No, no, you have grown up watching us, how can we blame you!" The person who spoke was obviously York's neighbor and elder.
There were also some pure customers who shouted: "If you ask me, Lille should open the tavern to the sky. York is so old and has become a mage. Do you still want to help him save money?"
These words are somewhat provocative. York is not Lille's only son. He has a five-year-old sister and a brother who is one year older than him.
When Tanasin was selected, his brother was one year shy of being selected. Since then, their fates have changed dramatically, and this also made Lille and York feel very sorry for their brother.
So not only Lille is saving money, but York himself is also saving money in order to send his brother to learn magic at his own expense in the future. Of course, his sister does not have to worry about this.
According to the current policy of the territory, his sister may not need to wait until the age of sixteen to start learning magic, and all expenses will be borne by the lord.
However, York was not angry because of what the guest said. The guest had everything he wanted to say. If he was angry at something slightly dissatisfied, then he would not come to the tavern to help at all.
Moreover, the guest mentioned that opening the tavern to the sky, that is, to the floating city Chang'an, was not a completely bad idea. If it had been put in the past, it might not have been a good idea.
After all, although there were often people coming and going in the floating city in the past, the flow of people was far less than that on the ground, let alone those who went specifically to drink. In addition, even renting the shops in the floating city was expensive, and it was impossible to recover the money in a short time.
And the most important thing is that if the territory tightens the policies related to portals and no longer provides them to its citizens for free, then the shops in the floating city may completely close down.
Although York has not heard rumors that the territory will charge for the use of the portal, but as a new mage who has broadened his horizons, he knows that all this will not be without cost, and it will not be free for long.
Maybe there will eventually be a price that everyone can afford, but it will never be free forever. This is not in line with the long-standing style of the territory and the lord.
Based on various considerations, York persuaded his father, who was often said to be impatient by guests, but this time it was different. He could almost predict that the scale of this trip to another dimension would be unprecedented.
In other words, there will definitely be a large flow of people on the floating city for quite some time. As long as they can seize this opportunity, even if they only open a temporary store for a while, it will be enough for them to make a lot of money.
When he came back this time, in addition to persuading his family to participate in this trip to another dimension, he also had the idea of persuading his father to open a shop in the Floating City, but before he could speak, he was mentioned by a customer.
This may be an opportunity.
After all, he had repeatedly persuaded his father not to open a store in the Floating City, but now he suddenly changed his mind, which his family may not be able to accept.
However, he still had to deal with these curious guests first. Thinking of this, York used a small spell to spread his voice to every corner of the tavern, and then revealed the gossip he knew:
"In addition to the water world, what I heard about is the fire world, the upside-down world, the wind world and a holy light world that can heal minor injuries. The floating city will stay in the holy light world for a period of time to give everyone a chance.
Accept the baptism of holy light, eliminate diseases, and restore vitality."
