my age of magic

Chapter 911 13. Galapagos City
Joan quickly found the hotel owner, and when he learned of Noah's request, he immediately agreed to Noah's reservation of all the hotel rooms, and personally came forward to communicate with the tenants.

In this way, Noah bought the entire 'Bluefin Tuna Love' hotel generously.

Under the leadership of the hotel waiter, Noah and I went to the third floor to choose our favorite room.

Noah didn't gossip and ask Jacques how he met the girl named 'Joan'.

When Noah turned and went up the stairs, the girl named Joan tightly grasped Jacques' next door with both hands, whispering something excitedly to him, and Jacques leaned against the edge of the bar with a proud look. Chatting with the girl named 'Joan' and not rushing upstairs to choose a room.

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

Perhaps out of safety considerations, Rand Cavaliers suggested that they might as well eat in the hotel.

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

Our reason is: this is the city of Galapagos, the largest island-style castle of the Mensa family on the Vashj plane. If this is not safe, where else is it safe?
Except for Rand, the Tauren Luka was a little reluctant to go shopping.

Many times, Luka can't find the most beautiful corner of the city in a happy mood on the street. He often becomes the onlooker of the Green people before walking on the street for a long time. With this great interest, some of them were more courageous, and even dared to run to Luka's side to compare the disparity in height with him.

So, I let Luka the tauren stay in the hotel.

Luka's room is on the first floor. This room is adjacent to the back street. This is a big shop that can accommodate 20 people at the same time. It is usually used to entertain the nobles who come to the hotel to stay.

Not all nobles are generous in their actions. When many nobles stay in hotels, they will let some of their followers stay in cheap Chase shops.

The tauren Luka lived in the Datong bunk, of course not because he needed to find a cheap room, but because there was a big enough bed in this room.

We walked to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and saw Jacques was still leaning in front of the bar, chatting cordially with Joan with his back turned to us, without noticing that our group came down together from upstairs.

On the contrary, Joan, who had a good chat with Jacques, noticed us at the first time, and withdrew her body leaning against the bar slightly, looking at us shyly.

Following Joan's gaze, Jacques turned his head and saw our group walking down the stairs in a mighty way. Jacques asked us, "Why are you all down? It's not time for dinner 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, Jacques, are you going?"

"Of course, I'm 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 a restaurant for us."

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

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

Noah held 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 to enjoy the scenery of this island city. We are trapped in a hotel. See what scenery, if you don't want to go out, then stay in the hotel."

As he said that, Noah glanced behind Jacques with ambiguous eyes, and put on a look that everyone is an adult, and then put on a posture to isolate me, which made me want to be on his ass The urge to kick hard.

We were chatting in the lobby, and when we were about to go out for dinner, the hotel owner knocked on Noah's door first, and found that we were not in the room, so he hurried downstairs and saw us all gathered in the lobby. He just breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly, and told Noah that he had persuaded the guests living in the hotel, and they promised to leave before dark.

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

The hotel owner smiled smugly, and said that it was nothing more than waiving the room fee for those tenants, and giving the room fee and compensation that Noah promised to pay to those tenants, so there is no reason for them not to move.

The hotel owner also said that these tenants came to Galapagos City from other islands in the Vashj Plane. Most of them are businessmen who want to do some business. These people are very easy to communicate with. Figure, it is not a trouble to change a hotel.

While we were talking, there were customers checking out at the bar. They first looked at each of us with vigilant eyes. When they saw that among our group 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 innkeeper may not have finished his sentence. Maybe he told the tenants in private that we are a group of arrogant and spendthrift aristocrats, and there are mysterious people in the entourage Magicians and powerful constructed knights, such a luxurious lineup can scare away a large group of people just by showing off a little.

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

Later, when we heard that we were going out to make up the delicacies of Galapagos City, we insisted on staying in the hotel for dinner, and said how delicious the food here is.

Noah waved his hand and signaled the hotel owner to stop talking.

Then I glanced at Jacques in a blink of an eye, and then said to the hotel owner who was a little embarrassed standing aside: "We just want to go out for a stroll, but we are new to Galapagos City, and we are not very familiar with it. If it is convenient If so, can you ask this young lady to be our guide?"

The hotel owner said with a wry smile: "The whole hotel has been reserved by you. Later, I will ask someone to hang a closed sign at the door of the hotel, so that no new guests will come in rashly. Naturally, no one will come in at the front desk." What kind of manpower is needed, but..."

He turned to Joan who was standing inside the bar and asked calmly, "Are you willing to be a guide for these guests?"

There was a shy joy on Joan's face, and she glanced at Jacques secretly, seeing that he was looking at her expectantly, so she said, "Boss, I'm fine, but I'm still on duty now!"

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

Joan heard what the hotel owner said, and whispered to Jacques: "Jacques, wait for me a moment."

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

……

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

Even if the most mediocre noble young master grows up, even if he doesn't have any more talents, he will at least become an earl, become the consul of a small town, and own a large piece of land.

If you have a little bit of talent, you will get the support of the Duke. After several years of training, you will lead the army, go to a certain plane to open up territories, and earn enough merits, so that you can become a marquis in a legitimate way. , may become the consul of a certain city in the future, and may even establish his own private armed forces.

As for those noble young masters who can chase some duke titles, they will get more resources.

However, in the Mensa family.Louis Mensa is almost universally recognized as the number one heir, and for so many years there has not been a new heir who is qualified to compete with him for the right of succession.

If there is one, Noah can barely be regarded as one, but Noah chose the path of magic.

Sometimes Noah and I can't help but wonder whether Jacques' reason for returning to Galapagos City is to regain the dignity he lost in Galapagos City, or for the purpose of returning to Galapagos City. Looking for love?Maybe a little of both.

Although I heard that Jacques had lived in Galapagos City for a period of time, and finally a plane war broke out, he ran back to Ilinas City in disgrace, and the Duke was so angry that he dropped his cup on the spot in the council hall of the Duke's Mansion. I also chose to give up on Jacques completely, and stopped spending time on him, and trained him to be 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 bit decadent after returning to Illinas City, and then fell into a gambling addiction. So unwilling to return to the city of Galapagos.

……

Joan is such an infectious girl that I can't even fault her, except for her dark skin.

Her eyes are 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 grasp the rhythm of the whole team. As a guide in our group, she needs to walk more than all of us, but in the slightest There was no sign of fatigue in her.

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

This is a city built on an island reef. Many houses are built with shells mixed with concrete. The newly built houses are no different from ordinary houses. The shells of various colors hidden in the wall will be revealed one after another when the outer layer of compound soil falls down. At this time, the exquisiteness of the shell house will gradually be revealed.

The characteristic of the island city is that the size of the island limits the size of the city.

The city of Galapagos has now reached a bottleneck. The entire island is full of houses, many of which are piled on top of each other. When walking through some alleys, looking up to the sky, it looks like ' A line of sky'.

In order to resist the aborigines of the Vashj plane, a high wall was built on the coastline of this island, completely enclosing the island with a radius of more than ten square kilometers. Joan told us that we must stand behind the city wall. You can see the pier.

This island city is very big. Walking on the stone street, you can see homeless people lying on the street everywhere. Many of them are just covered with a rag woven from seaweed silk, lying casually in the shade of the street. Some people were sleeping drowsily, some people just lay motionless and quiet, some people curled up their bodies and groaned vaguely, and some Some people looked at the pedestrians on the street with a begging look.

Looking at the homeless people on the street, it reminded me of my experience in Gludin Town. At that time, the Pai Plateau experienced a catastrophe once in a hundred years. Many orcs gathered in Gludin Town, and it was like this everywhere. scene.

I never thought that there would be such a scene in a certain corner of Galapagos City, and I would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

I have always thought that the life of the Green people is too comfortable and enjoyable. The reason is actually inseparable from the affluence of life.

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

We didn’t see this in the city of Pereira on the Hierro plane, and because of the plane war, a large number of businessmen, adventurers, immigrants, etc. gathered in Pereira city, waiting for the portal to open. Return to the Grimm Empire.

At that time, although the city of Pereira was overcrowded, the situation in the city of Galapagos did not appear. Those homeless people lying on the street were expressionless. In their eyes, I couldn't even feel a glimmer of hope. .

"What's wrong with them?" Ying Li looked at the homeless people on the street suspiciously, and asked Joan curiously.

"It's nothing, they may be hungry, just give them a little food, and they will jump up from the ground immediately!" Joan 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 Joan, and asked her, "Is this situation worse than my last time?"

Joan nodded helplessly.

"Could it be that no one has stood up to find a solution?" Jacques suddenly stood still and asked in a voice.

"Who would stand up for this kind of thing? Could it be the nobles in this city?" Joan pouted and spoke back to Jacques.

Then he looked at me and Noah and others with some apologies...
