Arcane Lord

Returning to Everesca, Chateau exchanged contact information with other investigators of the investigation team, and then separated.

He immediately went to Shop No. 18 in Mellon Market and placed his avatar in the lounge in the shop. Then his consciousness returned to his original body and he fell asleep and recovered in the Tower of Time, an absolutely safe place.

He slept until the evening of the next day, not caring about eating with his main body, and once again transferred most of his consciousness to the incarnation of Evereska.

Opening the lounge, Oripus was already waiting outside. When Xia Duo opened the door and came out, the elf with a trace of worry on his eyebrows immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Lord, how is everything?"

"Everything is fine. Oripus is waiting here, please."

Later, Chateau asked about the progress of the Everriska urban streetlight renovation project in the past two days, as well as the recruitment of designers for the exchange of landmark buildings between Daxia Ling and Everriska.

For these two questions, Oripus was well prepared and answered immediately:

"The Everriska urban street light renovation project has started one after another. If nothing else happens, it should be completed before the end of the month. However, the subsequent site selection and construction of more advertising spaces will need to be discussed with Everriska. .

"As for the recruitment of architectural designers for the exhibition hall of the New Wind Art Exhibition, invitations have been sent to designers from various countries through the channels of the Northland Alliance. So far, more than ten designers have responded, but most of them are from Akora or Evereska local.”

"That's it!"

Xia Duo pondered for a while, and then gave instructions: "Let's stop the recruitment of designers here. If they are really useful, more than ten people are enough. If they are not useful, it will be useless to add more."

Of course, the real situation is that Chateau already has a general idea of ​​how to design a landmark building, and he does not need a designer who is too famous or too powerful.

As long as they can come up with a plan according to his ideas, they don't need to invest too much in their personal characteristics. It is ideal to be able to do it with one move like now.

Those who didn't reply were either trying to show off, or they looked down on such a human-led project. If Xia Duo was willing to think of a solution, he might be able to find some more famous or more relevant designers.

But if this is the case, who will we listen to when the plan comes up?

Both sides have their own ideas. Shado himself does not want to give in, and he is almost certain that his design will not satisfy the upper elf.

Most of the designers, or artists, in the elf world are from the upper class. In this case, there is no need to go to all the trouble to ask for invitations.

…

After finalizing the matter of the elf designer, Xia Duo proposed to go and take a look at the street lamp advertisement that had been renovated. Of course, Oripus had no objections to this:

"Lord, the renovation project started at Dawn Square first. Now almost two streets have been renovated. If you want to see it, we can just go there."

"Um."

Afterwards, Shado and Oripus went out through the back door together. Although the free trial activities of the Tower of Time Chamber of Commerce Void Warehouse have been stopped these days, the activities of recommending new customers to increase their usage period are still going on.

The traffic in the shops these days is indeed much less than at the beginning of the event, but it is still much more than before Xia Duo came to Everesca.

In fact, most of the shops in the northern area of ​​Mellon Market do not have much customer traffic, because they are targeted at high-end customers and it is impossible to squeeze in and spend money like ordinary elves.

Void Warehouse is quite special. It is not aimed at real high-end customers, and the payment cycle is long. The current popularity will not last long.

In the future, it will be like other shops in the North District of Mellon Market. There will be few customers for ten days and a half. This is the norm.

This is a typical "not open for three years, open for three years" business.

…

Leaving Mellon Market, not far to the southwest is Dawn Square. Shado did not choose to take the flying disc to go there, but walked there with Oripus.

On the way, Sha Duo asked Oripus curiously, "How does it feel to return to the elf world?"

"Actually, it's just like that. Apart from making life more convenient, it's better to be comfortable in Savileland!" Oripus's eyes showed a hint of loneliness.

Not only did he not feel the slightest joy in returning to the world that he once had a hard time leaving behind, he was even filled with depression. This was true for Evereska, a neutral place, and it was even harder to imagine in other countries.

Oripus now very much doubts how he could have lived in Cormanso for so long in the past. It was so depressing that he couldn't bear to think about it even for a single day.

"Although the current material conditions in Savile and the Great Xia Territory are not as good as here, I believe that it will not be long before we can catch up quickly. I am very confident in the Lord!"

In fact, the living environment of Oripus in Savile is not necessarily much worse than in Everesca or Cormanthor. In other words, there is not much difference in enjoyment between the upper echelons of humans and the lower echelons of elves.

It's just about whether you can enjoy it or not. As long as you enjoy it with your heart, you can definitely live a more comfortable life than the bottom of the elves.

As for Oripus, although he is not an absolute high-level person on Xia Duo's side, he at least enjoys the treatment of a guest. In a sense, this treatment is no worse than that of a high-level person.

Regardless of the cost of food and clothing, as long as Xia Duo has it, Oripus and even his entire family will not be short of it.

However, Xia Duo and the other party are currently discussing the living standards of ordinary people. The Daxia Territory and the Saville Territory are indeed not as good as Everesca.

This is related to productivity. The productivity of Daxia Territory - which is actually magic in this world - has not generally benefited people's lives.

So at first glance, the gap is a bit big.

However, there is one thing that the Great Xia Territory cannot compare with Everriska or even any other elf country. That is, the political status of ordinary people is far higher than that of ordinary elf people.

…

"By the way, Oripus, what do you think of Everesca's introduction of the Bactrian Codex?" Shado suddenly changed the subject.

"This is a good thing, but I seriously doubt whether Everesca can fully inherit the true legislative spirit of the Bactrian Code!"

After experiencing the baptism of life in the Great Xia Territory, Oripus deeply realized that what ordinary people in the elf world lacked may not be false benefits in life, but the universal right to education.

If you just increase the welfare, it will not help change the current situation of the people at the bottom of the elf society. No matter how much welfare is given to the upper class, there will always be various means to take it back.

Only knowledge and power are real and cannot be taken back by the superiors.

But that knowledge and power cannot be the rights of a few, but should be rights that all people can enjoy. Only this can bring about fundamental changes in the elf world.

In a word, Oripus is not optimistic about Everriska's reforms.

In other words, in the end, such reform may just be another carnival for the upper class, while the shackles of the lower class become even deeper.
