Chapter 271 Avar Kingdom
Chapter 271 Avar Kingdom
After coming out of the gray-collared theater, Altan complained to the nobles who were traveling with him: "Your drama is really... easy to understand."
The nobleman who was traveling with him explained: "After all, theaters are now open to ordinary people. The era when theater was only for the nobility is long gone."
Altan smacked his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he held it back silently and followed his fellow nobles to attend the next ball.
After these days of living in the gray-collar society, Altan has realized that the biggest feature of this territory is that the gap between nobles and commoners is narrowing.
It’s not that common people live better than nobles, but apart from assets, there is not much difference in status between nobles and common people.
Many things that in the past were only enjoyed by nobles have gradually been opened up to common people. Altan has never seen this situation, not only in his hometown, but also in other places on this continent.
Not to mention that commoners in other places have to kneel down when they meet nobles, if the ways of nobles in other places were used by white-collar workers, they would probably be brought to justice immediately.
Altan originally thought that without aristocratic privileges, life would be less fun, but the life of a white-collar worker far exceeded Altan's expectations.
In addition to emitting fluorescent light, the obelisk in the city center is also surrounded by many dazzling magic circles that float up and down.
Altan, who knew a little about magic, knew that those magic circles were purely for viewing purposes, but this did not hinder the gorgeous visual effects.
The whole city was very lively at night, and this was the first time that Altan experienced what real nightlife was.
It's not that Altan hasn't seen cities that are brightly lit at night, such as the night scene of the Capetian capital brought to him by his companions, which is also brightly lit at night.
But it is fundamentally different from the nightlife of white-collar workers. Those places are brightly lit, but not lively, because only nobles can enjoy this beautiful night, and most of the people who hang out at night are nobles and their servants.
The nights of white-collar workers are quite lively, with workers, clergymen and businessmen everywhere.
Places like bars and cafes are basically open all night long. There are even entertainment venues that open specifically at night. Of course, they are all formal.
On the contrary, the nobles began to stay indoors at night, because now they also had to go out to work during the day, so the dance time could only be arranged at night.
Although the nobles have lost many of their past habits in the gray and white-collar world, they have retained their love for holding balls, because balls are an important place for these nobles to exchange information.
As the North gradually began to stabilize, the nobles began to calm down. Before, they might have worried that their gathering together would arouse the Governor's vigilance, but now they no longer have this worry, and naturally, the balls became more frequent.
As an upstart in the gray-collar class, Altan also attends various balls among aristocrats every day.
Although the ball for the gray-collar aristocrats was a bit plain compared to balls in other places, because everyone really just danced and chatted together, but the grandeur was no less than that of other places. The dazzling lights during the dance were enough to make people intoxicated.
However, the Governor did not seem to like these dazzling lights. He once commented that the nobles' dance scene was like a disco. Although these nobles did not know what disco meant, they found that the Governor was unexpectedly conservative about some things.
Altan liked it very much, and even thought that such dazzling lights should be accompanied by more exciting music and dance, which would allow Altan to have fun all night long.
What surprised Altan the most was that the ladies at the gathering of gray-collar aristocrats did not talk about entertainment gossip or the latest trends, but academic issues.
Altan once wanted to rely on his charm as a foreigner and his eloquence to join the group chats of these noble ladies. This was not for flirting, but to gather intelligence, at least that's what Altan thought. However, Altan found that he couldn't join in at all.
Just listening to those mathematical symbols, Altan felt like his head was about to explode. He heard that this was because the Governor's wife liked these and that it was because of the superior's preference.
Altan shook his head, thinking that learning so much was just to have a few more words with the Governor's wife. Was it really worth it? Did the Governor's wife have so much power? Wasn't she just a vase?
Of course, although Altan could not join the group chat of the ladies, both nobles and commoners were very curious about Altan, so Altan was quite popular at the ball.
"The Avar Kingdom is a very beautiful place. Our ancestors landed there and defeated the barbarians there through heroic battles, bringing magic and civilization to that continent."
Altan began to talk to the nobles as usual.
"Of course there are other countries there, but they don't know that there are other continents outside the Sea of Uncertainty, so they still use the name our ancestors gave to their own continent - Sauron, which means new home."
Afterwards, Altan began to describe the customs and culture of his hometown, as well as other national forces on the continent of Sauron to the nobles. The nobles listened with great interest as if it were a new drama without performance, which greatly satisfied Altan's vanity.
Now I have new materials to send to my colleagues.
But some people have raised questions about how the war between the Avar Kingdom and other countries on the Sauron continent ended.
Hearing this question, Altan began to stammer and said, "Well, of course we won. With our super-level magic and brave warriors, we are almost invincible on the continent of Sauron."
Then he began to talk about some classic battles of the Avar Kingdom, almost all of which relied on high-level professionals to defeat the larger force with the smaller one, and the weaker one with the stronger one. He even claimed that even dragons were allies of the Avar Kingdom, which attracted the admiration of the nobles.
Listening to the flattery of these nobles, Altan finally regained his confidence.
At the beginning, Avar's attack on the continent of Sauron was indeed quite smooth. He didn't even need to use super-level magic to defeat other countries on the continent of Sauron and made them flee in panic.
But later, Avala VI of the Avar Kingdom began to over-rely on super-level magic, which led to the punishment of the gods on the Avar Kingdom. In areas where super-level magic was overused, magic power began to dry up, casting spells became difficult, and professionals became increasingly scarce.
The natives, on the other hand, were fighting more and more courageous. Although they had not yet been able to launch a counterattack, they had already stabilized their position and even mastered super-level magic. On the contrary, the Avar Kingdom, due to the exhaustion of magic power, the long battle line, and changes in the palace, the high-level professionals who were not restrained by the tower gradually began to lose control, so that the kingdom had to find another way out.
Fortunately, the route was opened up smoothly. The Avar Kingdom finally defeated the Unpredictable Sea like its ancestors, and is even gradually exploring a stable route.
The other continent has been devastated. It is time for the Avar Kingdom to return to the homeland of its ancestors.
