When we returned to Cangxing City, the night was already dark.

Unlike the ancient city in Bell's imagination, this big city that adventurers have been talking about does not have a towering wall that blocks outsiders from entering.

As a real big city, Cangxing City is constructed of an amazing large building area.

Proceeding along the official road outside the Bamboo Sea, when we arrived ten kilometers outside Cangxing City, the occasionally worn flat official road changed from a dirt road to a solid stone road.

Compared with rammed earth roads that are easy to wear, stone roads are more durable. The ten kilometers of road outside Cangxing City are more advanced than ordinary stone roads.

The roads here are all paved with square stones two meters wide, five meters long and half a meter thick.

The ashlar stones shaped by magic power are flat and strong, and facilities such as drainage channels on both sides of the road can ensure that these ashlar stones will not be a problem once they are laid and used for thousands of years.

People who have walked many different roads will sincerely sigh when they set foot on the square stone road of Cangxing City.

As a good thing, square stone roads inherit the consistent characteristics of good things, that is, they are expensive.

The construction of ashlar roads requires the participation of mages.

The mages will use magic to liquefy the soil and rocks, pour them again according to a certain proportion, and finally shape them into complete ashlar.

As we all know, mages are people who value wealth as their lives. They have a strong ability to make money, but their ability to spend money should not be underestimated.

In order to get more rewards, the Mages Guild and the mayor of Cangxing City negotiated back and forth for several months when building the road before finally signing a contract.

The mayor of Cangxing City was also ruthless, and he insisted on lowering the price of one silver coin on top of the low price quoted by the Mages Guild for each square stone.

You know, this is a money grab from the hands of the always powerful mages. This move really shocked other professional guilds in Cangxing City.

It was also during this negotiation with the Mages Guild that the mayor of Cangxing City blurted out a sentence that became a famous saying in Cangxing City.

‘It’s indeed a good thing, it’s only a dollar cheaper.’

In Cangxing City now, after normal business exchanges, if the relationship between the two parties completing the transaction is good, the seller will ask for a silver coin to be given to the buyer as an expression of goodwill.

This is also a strange custom that slowly evolved after the mayor of Cangxing City set the price from the mage.

From this peculiar custom, we can also see how difficult it is to get money from the Mages Guild.

"Gah——"

Amidst the heartbreaking sound of the wooden door opening, Edu pushed open the door to his home.

After a day's trek, Edu finally returned home. He, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

Edu walked to the table and lit the candle, lighting up the room.

"Hey~ your family is quite big."

Bell jumped off Edu and walked into the room, looking around.

Edu's home is not small. It is a small two-story brick house with a storefront on the first floor, filled with empty shelves.

According to Edu, when his mother was still alive, she made a living by selling groceries in the store.

Going up to the second floor, there are two bedrooms and a small living room.

"Before, I planned to sell my house when I became an adult and spend money to study."

Slumping down on the old wicker chair, Edu talked about his life plan before meeting Bell.

But as he spoke, he laughed again.

Things that he didn't dare to imagine at first were now suddenly in front of him, and it was all a bit too dreamy.

He has a music teacher to teach him, and he has also tried to play magic music by himself, and someone is preparing to fund his further studies at a music conservatory...

The most important thing is that Bell appears by his side, and finally someone can talk to him.

Since his mother's death, Edu has never spoken to anyone about his feelings.

Edu is an alien who is different from normal humans. He does not have any human friends of the same age, and there are even very few humans who are kind to him.

Every time Edu goes out, he needs to wrap himself tightly in clothes and repeatedly check that his demi-human features are completely covered up before he can go out on the street normally.

Although he has long been accustomed to such a life, it is impossible to say that this kind of life is not uncomfortable.

"Mr. Bell, have you ever heard your mother sing?"

Edu closed his eyes while lying on the wicker chair. After returning home, he could relax and recover the energy he had lost after the long journey.

He suddenly thought of his mother, the person who worried about whether he could be independent and strong before she died.

"Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to learn."

Bell, who was still observing everywhere, did not notice Edu, who was already in a daze. He sang the tune about his mother that he was most familiar with.

It has the simplest words and the simplest music, but everyone can remember this song as soon as they hear it, as if it is magical.

"In my mind, this is the first song I learned."

After humming softly, Bell waited for Edu to take over.

But for a long time, Bell couldn't hear Edu's response. He looked back and saw that the guy had tilted his head and his breathing became even and steady.

"Okay, I actually fell asleep."

After complaining, Bell said that his song "Only Mom is Good in the World" was in vain.

After running into Edu's room, Bell trotted out holding the quilt that Edu had folded and threw it over Edu's head. The quilt naturally stretched out and spread over Edu's body.

After the upgrade, Bell has extremely exquisite control over his power.

After all, Bell's strong mental power allows him to perfectly control his body.

"However, perfect physical control shouldn't be used here."

After scratching his head, Bell had no extra thoughts.

He blew out the candles, curled up on the table, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Such a quiet and peaceful night is impossible to encounter in the bamboo forest. After all, the night is the home of animals and monsters, and all kinds of tiny movements are danger signals in the bamboo forest.

But again, the difference between the city and the bamboo sea is not only the night, but also the early morning.

The early morning in the bamboo sea is a time when the animals calm down and calm down.

But in cities, as soon as it gets dark, a large number of people wake up from their sleep and prepare for the day's work.

Edu's house is located in the market, and when the extremely noisy noise outside the window pours into Bell's perception, a new day begins.

"Warcraft skin! Newly collected Warcraft skin!"

"Look, look, the South Sea pearls have arrived!"

"Silver scale breastplate, one piece of hardware~"

……

Amid the commotion, Edu opened his window and looked at the crowds of people who had filled the street without knowing when.

He didn't sleep long last night, but for some reason, he felt that he had a very comfortable sleep.
