Chapter 377 I Don't Care
Lily found it extremely hard to believe, since when were there so many gods?
However, Mojure was different, he believed what Larinu just said. After all, when he arrived at this place, he felt two different gazes looking at him.
One gaze seemed to be watching him, while the other was filled with menace.
Therefore, this place had at least two gods.
Larinu said with a smile, "Hahaha… to me, royals are like gods."
"They ruled and developed this place to be as beautiful as it is today. It's something I've never seen before, and I don't think there'll be anywhere else."
Lily nodded, agreeing with what Larinu had just said: "Indeed, to build an entire territory this large in just two months is nothing short of a miracle."
Larinu scratched his head, he forced a smile: "Hahaha… in fact… only this place was built a bit complete."
"Heh?! What do you mean?" Mojure and Lily asked in unison.
Larinu explained: "Do you see those walls of vines?"
Mojure and Lily nodded.
"It is the wall that separates the finished places from the unfinished ones. The lord was afraid that the dust and noise would affect everyone, so he built that wall of vines."
"The area you are living in is the North-Western area, to be more precise, the Mixed area."
"Mixed Residential Area?" Mojure confusedly asked, "Is it an area reserved for mixed-bloods?"
Larinu shook her head and explained, "No! The Mixed residential Area refers to the area for people who have just arrived in this territory, and need time to adjust to life."
"They don't have a stable job and income, they don't understand the rules of this place, and of course, they don't understand how to live here."
"Because of that, the lord wants to gather all the newcomers to this territory in the Mixed Population area, called area 6 for short."
"And of course, aside from the lord's residence and other important administrative works, this place was the one to be completed the earliest."
"Other places have not yet been completed, but you should also feel lucky because it is not finished yet so there are more jobs."
Lily and Mojure nodded, thanks to Larinu, they also understood many other things.
Although this place was not complete yet, Mojure and Lily still felt that this place was too wonderful.
Although the houses in this place were sparse, each house was a few meters apart, and they believed that this place would be filled with new residents.
The pavement was paved with a strange stone, which was not precious, but it was quite hard and it had a pretty white color.
Thousands, hundreds of thousands of rectangular stones arranged in a regular manner made the sidewalk look like a work of art.
Also, about 20 meters away, there is a stone bench for people to rest.
The most special thing is the sky. That's right, it was not fog, nor was it an illusion.
It was the sky.
The atmosphere in this place was also completely different from other places and it made Mojure just want to stay in this place forever.
He suddenly asked Larinu: "Excuse me, I want to ask... is it possible for me to live in this area with the sky?"
"You want to live in area number 3?"
"Area number 3?'' When Mojure heard Larinu speak, he felt a little confused.
"Yes, this area is the 3rd area, for the official residents of this territory." Larinu explained.
"After coming here, you get a job, have an income, and you can choose from one of the two directions as follows."
"One, you can continue to live in the newcomers area, however, you have to pay the rent. In area 6, no one is allowed to own a house."
"All houses and rooms are owned by the royal family. You can only rent and pay the monthly rent."
"Two, if you have a small amount of money, and you want to buy a house in this place. Then you can take a loan."
"Loan?" Mojure felt a little uncomfortable hearing this word. He had seen many nobles using loans to oppress ordinary people.
Even with the terrible interest rates, the nobles pushed countless people to death or became slaves of nobles to pay their debts.
"That's right." Larinu nodded: "However, this form needs to be based on whether you have a stable job and whether your income is enough to help you both repay your debt and pay for your living expenses."
"For this matter, I think it's best if you go to the bank."
"Bank?" When Mojure heard this phrase, he was confused.
Larinu sighed, he shook his head and said: "It would take a lot of time to explain it to you. Perhaps after applying for your ID cards, you should sign up for the evening class for everyone."
"There, you will learn more knowledge, be literate and it would be easier to integrate into life here."
Mojure and Lily nodded at that. After that, Larinu was busy with other things, so he left.
Before leaving, he turned to them and said, "Ah! When you get to the roundabout, don't be surprised by what you see."
After saying that, Larinu left, and Mojure and Lily once again felt extremely confused.
"Could it be…" Mojure stammered: "Is there something as wonderful as the sky?"
Lily felt extremely curious, immediately grabbed Mojure's sleeve: "Let's go, I want to see if there is something ahead that can surprise us further."
When Lily grabbed Mojure's sleeve his heart rate sped up and he blushed, but in his heart he said: 'No way! I can't have those thoughts, I have to dedicate this mind and heart to the gods, not to those trivial thoughts.'
Mojure took a deep breath, then pushed the wheelchair that Lily was sitting on, and continued walking.
…
"Ah… That is…"
Mojure and Lily stood on the sidewalk, next to the roundabout, they were looking at the roundabout with eyes filled with disbelief and… a little enjoyment.
Hearing Mojure stammer, Lily now took a deep breath, and after a while, she said: "It's a green tree..."
"Is it really a tree?"
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"It's real!" Lily replied unconsciously, her gaze fixed on the ancient tree in front of them.
"I never thought it would be possible to see trees in this world. I only heard about it in ancient documents."
"Me too, this is the first time I am seeing a green tree. Although I don't know what it can do, I feel comfortable just by looking at it."
Mojure heard Lily's words and nodded: "Me too. It's like a divine work of art. So beautiful, so majestic…"
"Ah! Wait a minute, I need to get a branch for the Enchanters of the Saric Sanctuary to study. I am sure that when they see this, they will immediately head to this place to study."
"Ah! Wait!" Before Lily could finish speaking, Mojure immediately moved closer to the tree.
"Magic barrier?" as Mojure approached the tree, he sensed that a barrier that was built with magic was carved into the surrounding fence.
However, this barrier was very weak, and just his breathing was enough to break.
Mojure raised his hand…
CHANG!
The magic barrier broke easily then turned into countless pieces like broken glass, after that, those fragments turned into countless dust particles of light and disappeared.
Mojure was about to step over the fence when he immediately sensed something.
He did not turn his head, but he just reached back and immediately caught a small stone.
"Stone?!" Mojure turned his head and saw that on the sidewalk, opposite where he was standing, were a bunch of dwarves holding stones in their hands.
From the bunch of dwarves, a kid pointed at him and shouted: "Don't touch that tree, or we won't spare you."
The rest of the kids also spoke up.
"That's right! That tree is entrusted to us by the lord to take care of, no one is allowed to touch it."
"Where did this person come from? Don't you know the rules here?"
"The sign next to it says it's forbidden to approach and not to touch the trees without the village chief's permission. You're breaking the law!"
Mojure frowned and said, "Are you protecting this tree? I don't mean to belittle you, but I need to take a branch, just a branch."
"Impossible!" One boy shouted: "you can't take a branch from the tree. Everyone, attack him, don't let him harm that tree."
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
The kids kept throwing rocks at Mojure, who just sighed and waved his hand.
A gust of wind blew the children away. Of course, Mojure was gentle, so he did not hurt the children.
The kids were blown away by the wind, although they felt scared, they still didn't give up.
The kids struggled to their feet, then said, "Hurry up! Call the village chief, I will try to stop him."
"Um!"
The children immediately ran away, leaving only one child. The boy struggled to his feet, gritted his teeth, and charged towards Mojure.
Mojure just sighed and shook his head, raising his hand again. Another gust of wind blew the dwarven boy further away.
"Everything you are doing is in vain, you cannot defeat me. It doesn't matter who comes."
Amdoc just arrived when he saw the boy Mojure had sent flying, he immediately approached the boy and anxiously examined his body.
After that, Amdoc breathed a sigh of relief when the kid was fine.
Amdoc stood up, approached Mojure, frowned and said: "I am Amdoc, the one responsible for guiding everyone to protect this tree."
"May I know who you are? Why did you destroy the magic wall protecting this tree and attack the kids?"
Mojure glanced at Amdoc, he sensed that this Dwarf was different from the other Dwarves he had met.
He nodded and said: "You don't need to know who I am, I have no intention of harming those kids. I only want one branch."
"you only want a branch?" Amdoc was afraid when he heard that: "No way! This tree is sacred, I hope you can leave, I'll pretend nothing happened."
Mojure shook his head and said, "You don't understand."
"Amdoc, right? I'm just trying to help this tree grow better, or even make more trees."
"You should know that there are many Enchanters in this world with great intelligence and abilities. With just one branch, they can research and find ways to create more trees."
"What we are doing is making the world a better place."
Although Amdoc heard what Mojure had to say he was unaffected by Mojure's words. He frowned and said, "I don't care what the world looks like... what I care about is that you're trying to destroy this tree."
