After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2175

Chapter 2175: Events Back Home

Time passed, and the world went on, and time in Alterra was no different. The town was bustling as always, people lived their own lives, the flow of people was lively, and there was a consistent number of entries flowing in.

Those going out were hunters, to return with a lot of game, some wealth, and some new experience. There was always ’new blood’ coming in, whether they were mercenaries, merchants, or spies.

One group was comprised of all three.

This was from the Bleulle party, mostly comprised of caravans, but also other groups.

These people were from a City and they generally looked down on towns. Whenever they entered a town, they would have their noses up, expecting the best treatment.

In the case wherein the treatment was less than perfect, some of them might even take offense, even making threats of war and harassment as if they were the Lord of their home territory. Oftentimes, the town lords themselves would show them around, allowing them to live in the best rooms in their palaces.

Most would not want to downgrade, not necessarily because they were snobbish, but because they were practical. There were generally far fewer amenities in Towns, the walls were of a lower level, and the ambient aether was also less. In that situation, which self-respecting powerhouse would choose a town over a city?

Cities emitted and passively collected aether, after all, it was how aether crystals formed under specific areas in cities and also how the average level was higher in it. There were only so many high level monsters after all.

This was why, when this Bleulle party was still asked to queue outside the gates, some of them started to make a scene.

"We’re from Bluelle City!"

The guards gave them a look. "So?"

"You—" he yelled, tone rising. "We’re from a City!"

He said this as if it were enough explanation.

"If you can’t even explain the reason why, then don’t bother using it!"

"You!! I can!"

For a merchant, it took him a moment to list down the things a city could do.

"We have tall walls and sentries!"

"We do, too! More than enough for our tier! Ours is probably denser too!"

"..."

The merchant looked up and counted, realizing that the sentries were indeed very dense. Don’t even mention the sentries not attached to the walls!

"We have many powerhouses past level 40!" Level 40 was the cap in Town wars and it was also what was considered to be absolute powerhouses in that tier. Even in a long-standing Town, the number of level 40 residents might not be more than a handful.

Therefore, saying they had plenty of level 40s was meant to emphasize the gap between the two tiers.

"We also have them!" the guard said. "We even have level 50s!"

"..."

"We have tall buildings, a lot of amenities, and many cars!"

"We have powerful toolmakers, alchemists, and so on!" Before the guard could retort, the Bleulle merchant hurriedly added.

"We have them too! Haven’t you heard we fixed the fire plague? How not updated are you? Are you really a merchant? Tsktsktsk."
