When the soft glow of Amur faded, Cadeceus would usher in the few minutes of darkness of the day. Everything lay dormant in the darkness, watching the last ray of light of the gas giant leave the sky, and then ushering in the glorious morning sun.
A day in Cadeceus was only sixteen hours long. It wasn't the shortest day among all the planes, but it was the shortest among the planes with a large population. Therefore, people who came here for the first time needed some time to get used to the routine here. Hao Ren was still fast asleep on the bed in the hotel. On the cabinet next to him, a little mermaid had already been woken up by the sun. Lil Pea climbed out of the basin and said hello to the MDT, "Good morning, MDT!"
The MDT had been watching Lil Pea all night to prevent the little one from running around after waking up. The first greeting in the morning was this. It was furious. "You naughty child, don't learn from your father!"
Lil Pea had no idea what the naughty child meant. She thought it was a compliment, so she accepted it happily. Then, she looked at the bustling street outside and began to daydream. After a while, the little one felt bored and started to sing the song that Nangong Wuyue had taught her.
The little kid's singing was completely out of order, and there were no lyrics. Her teacher was a half-baked person who couldn't remember the lyrics. Lil Pea could already be considered a genius if she could learn the song from the mantis shrimp.
In his half-awake state, Hao Ren heard a soft but strangely melodious singing. At first, he thought it was Nangong Wuyue humming downstairs, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his little mermaid who was singing. Lil Pea was lying in front of the window, her little hand on the unadorned wooden pane. She had a tranquil expression on her face as she hummed a song that only she could understand. The morning sun shone on the little one's tail, rippling circles of golden-red light.
Hao Ren could not help but hold his breath when he saw the little mermaid singing to the sky in the early morning sun. He found that Lil Pea was indeed a mermaid. Even at such a young age, her singing already revealed some kind of spiritual energy. It almost made people feel that even if a few magic circles suddenly rose around her while she was singing, it would not be out of place. Hao Ren did not want to disturb this brief tranquil scene, so he pretended to sleep and squinted his eyes to watch the little fellow sing. Lil Pea did not notice this at all. She was still humming the few tunes she knew intermittently. She would take a break after humming one or two paragraphs. She would lower her head and nibble on the window frame before humming again.
Hao Ren felt that he had to wake up … This window was not his home!
"Daddy! You're awake! " Lil Pea noticed that Hao Ren had gotten up. She immediately pounced on Hao Ren and slapped him on the face. "Rice!"
Hao Ren sweated as he looked at the window frame that had been gnawed on by Lil Pea. He thought to himself that it was time for the little one to grow up. He still had to explain the problem of the window to the hostel owner later … Not sure if there were rats in this world …
When they met up with the others downstairs, Hao Ren found that Lily and Nangong Wuyue were yawning non-stop. Apparently, the short night was not enough for them to rest. However, the other three were still in high spirits. Vivian belonged to the magical species that did not sleep for thousands of years. Her biological clock was an active skill. Y 'zaks and Lanina could no longer be considered as normal creatures. It was hard to say whether their main purpose of sleeping at night was to rest or to relieve boredom …
"Yawn … Mr. Landlord, I want to sleep a little longer …" Lily was the one who was most affected by her biological clock. At this time, she was basically talking to Hao Ren with her eyes closed. She sniffed and sniffed to locate the others. She sniffed and searched for a long time before she squatted at Hao Ren's feet and curled up like a puppy. "Two more hours of sleep … Just stuff the food into my mouth when it's ready … I'll eat it in my dreams."
Vivian was both annoyed and amused as she pulled Lily up. "This loser … Once she doesn't get enough sleep, her IQ will drop to the level before she became a demon!"
"Let's go out for a walk. The sun in Cadeceus is very invigorating." Y 'zaks' loud voice rang out. It was instantly invigorating. He stood at the door and pointed outside. "I've already settled the bill. Let's go to the inner city today."
Lily looked at Y 'zaks in a daze. She was instantly energized. "Big guy, your face is really invigorating. Heh!"
Everyone was speechless.
"I think her IQ still hasn't improved yet …" Vivian mumbled. "Don't tell me her IQ is also linked to her biological clock?"
Hao Ren remembered that there was still a window in the room that Lil Pea had gnawed on. He quickly dragged Vivian out of the room. "Let's not talk about biological clock. Let's get down to business …"
The short alternation of day and night in Cadeceus was difficult for outsiders to adapt to, but for the locals, it was already very familiar. At that moment, the streets of the outer city of Cadessar were already bustling with activity. Merchants and tourists from all over the world formed the main flow of people in the outer city of the city.
Aside from the residents in the inner city, most of the people in the outer city were actually outsiders like Hao Ren and the rest.
Other than the fixed shops, the most common things along the street were the various stalls set up by the merchants. Races like the elves and the spiritlings who usually did not show their faces would even set up stalls here to sell their own race's handicrafts. This was rarely seen in other places. The group walked along the wide road that ran through the inner and outer city towards the inner city. Along the way, they frequently stopped in front of the dazzling stalls, partly out of curiosity, and partly to inquire about information.
After all, Y 'zaks and Monina had been away from this world for more than half a year. After the end of the ten-year war, the world situation must have developed rapidly. They were already very behind in terms of information, and now they needed to know about the situation of the races in the human world. It was not very practical to directly inquire about the inside story of the Allied Forces, but they could get a lot of useful information from these people who came from all over the world. As long as you had the heart, you could always piece together the whole world from the gossip of the peddlers. That was the charm of gossip.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the development of the races in the human world is indeed far ahead of the demons," Lanina muttered behind Hao Ren, pretending to be a servant. "Every time I come to the human world, I'm amazed at the prosperity and changes here … The demonic world has always been a mess for thousands of years. Those guys who fought each other had no interest in building anything until the king built a similar empire in the human world."
Vivian stopped in front of an elf stall. She curiously fiddled with the wooden ornaments on the stall and asked, "What is this?"
"An amulet blessed by the forest," an elf who was so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman immediately introduced it enthusiastically. "It was blessed in the sacred spring of my hometown. It can repel disasters and protect …"
"I'll buy it!" Vivian's eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying a word, she then pointed to another bead next to it and said, "This is …"
"An amulet blessed by the ancestors," the elf stall owner smiled. Apparently, living in the human city had made him very different from his conservative compatriots who never went out. He was obviously an experienced businessman. "Handmade by the elders of my tribe. Wearing it can repel evil …"
Vivian's eyes suddenly lit up like Lily seeing a meat bone. "I'll buy it! This one next to it … "
Hao Ren quickly held the vampire back and said, "Alright, alright, two is enough. We still have money left for travel expenses!"
This unlucky girl really did not give up on using the amulet to reverse her fortune. However, wearing all these things to repel evil did not work. Why did she not learn her lesson? Even the couplet written by Raven 12345 did not stop her from throwing money in front of her house. Vivian's unlucky fortune was obviously the will of the universe. What was there for her to fight …
They wandered around the outskirts and did not get too much information, but at least they had some understanding of the changes in the world after the end of the Ten Years' War: after the war, the coalition army directly stayed in the Demonic Plane, and there was no sign of a large-scale withdrawal. Among the seven heroes, except for the dwarf king, Urok, who was seriously injured and returned to the country to recuperate, the other six heroes had not returned yet. It was said that the human hero Gregory and the elf general Kastina were very likely to be the next supreme leaders of the two races. At present, the human supreme king, who was too old, had already drawn up the process of abdication. Several kingdoms that were completely destroyed by the demon king's army suddenly had many descendants of the royal family who claimed to be pure-blooded. They were fighting for the recognition of the seven heroes and striving to restore their countries. The dark elves and orcs had a new friction at the border, but under the call of their respective heroes, the friction was quickly resolved. The two races might hold a special meeting, and they decided to talk calmly about the long-term problems faced by the two races. At present, many people were optimistic about this meeting …
After hundreds of years of invasion and rule by the demon king's army, many planes in the human world needed to be rebuilt. The reconstruction of culture and the removal of demonic influence were also very important topics of recent gossip.
After hearing these things, Y 'zaks only gave one comment. "It seems that the world will still turn without anyone."
