Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 58
When they returned to Cangxing City, the night was already dark.

Different from the ancient city that Bell imagined, this big city that has been talked about by adventurers does not have a towering wall that prevents outsiders from entering.

As a real big city, Cangxing City is constructed by a large area of ​​astonishing buildings.

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

Stone roads are more durable than rammed earth roads, which are prone to wear and tear.And the road ten kilometers outside Cangxing City is more advanced than ordinary stone roads.

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

The square stones shaped by magic power are flat and firm, and the drainage channels and other facilities on both sides of the road can guarantee that these square stones will not be a problem for thousands of years after they are laid.

People who have traveled through many different roads will feel sincerely when they step on the ashlar road of Cangxing City that this road is unusual.

As a good thing, Fangshi Road has inherited the consistent characteristics of good things, that is, it is expensive.

The construction of ashlar roads requires the participation of mages.

The mages will use magic power to liquefy the soil and rocks, recast them according to a certain proportion, and finally shape them into complete ashlars.

As we all know, mages are people who regard money as their destiny. They have great ability to make money, but their ability to spend money should not be underestimated.

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

The mayor of Cangxing City was also a ruthless person, he insisted on lowering the price of one silver coin on top of the base price quoted by the Mage Guild for each ashlar.

You know, this is stealing money from the always powerful mages, this move really shocked other professional guilds in Cangxing City.

It was also during this consultation with the Mage Guild that the Mayor of Cangxing City blurted out a sentence that became a famous saying of Cangxing City.

'As expected of a good thing, it's only one dollar cheaper. '

In the current Cangxing City, after normal business exchanges, if the relationship between the two parties that complete the transaction is good, the seller will find a silver coin for the buyer, which can be regarded 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 Mage Guild.

"Gah-"

Amid the tooth-piercing sound of the wooden door opening, Edu pushed open the door of his own house.

After a day of trekking, Edu finally returned home, and he was relieved after being tense all the time, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

Edu went to the table and lit a candle, and the room was illuminated.

"Yo~ Your house is quite big."

Jumping off Edu, Bell walked into the room and looked around.

Edu's home is not small, it is a small two-story brick house, the first floor is a storefront, which is full of empty shelves.

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

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

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

Paralyzed 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, suddenly came to him now, all of this is a bit too dreamy.

He has a music teacher who teaches him, he has also tried to play magic movements by himself, and there are people who plan to sponsor him to go to the music academy for further study...

Most importantly, Bell was by his side, and finally someone could talk to him.

Since his mother's death, Edu has never shared his feelings with others.

Edu is a different kind from normal humans. He doesn't have any human friends of the same age, and there are even very few humans who can be kind to him.

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

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

"Mr. Bell, have you ever heard the mother's song?"

Edu, who was lying on the rattan chair, closed his eyes. After returning home, he could relax and recover his lost physical strength after the exhausting journey.

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

"Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to learn."

Bell, who was still watching around, didn't notice Edu who had fallen into a daze. He sang the tune he was most familiar with about his mother.

That is the simplest word and the simplest song, but this song can be remembered by everyone as soon as it is heard, as if it has magic power.

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

Humming softly, Bell waited for Edu to take over.

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

"Well, I actually fell asleep."

After making complaints, Bell said that he sang the song "Only Mom Is Good in the World" for nothing.

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

The upgraded Bell has an extremely subtle control over power.

After all, the powerful mental power allows Bell to perfectly control his physical body.

"However, perfect body control shouldn't be used for this."

Scratching his head, Bell had no extra thoughts.

He blew out the candle, rolled himself up on the table, and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

Such a quiet and peaceful night is impossible to meet in the bamboo sea.After all, night is the home of animals and monsters, and all kinds of small 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 the time when the animals slowly return to calm and calm down.

But in the city, just after dawn, a large number of human beings wake up from their sleep, ready to prepare for the day's work.

Edu's house is located in the market, and when the extraordinarily noisy din outside the window poured into Bell's perception, a new day began just like that.

"Warcraft skin! Newly received monster skin!"

"Look, take a look, the South China Sea Pearl is here!"

"Silver scale breastplate, one piece of hardware~"

……

Amidst the noise, Edu pushed open his window and looked at the crowd that filled the street without knowing when, with the corners of his mouth raised.

He didn't sleep much last night, but for some reason, he felt that he slept very comfortably this time.

Now Edu is full of strength all over his body.
