Chapter 1103 Although the Car Drives Slowly, It Drives Steadily!
Ellington.
"This...is Ellington?"
A mysterious man wrapped in a black robe followed the flow of people and got off the intercity bus. He looked at the huge and open city in front of him and was completely stunned.
If you remember correctly, this was just a small, rundown village back then, right? In just a few decades, it has turned into such a huge city! ?
The architectural style here is really strange...
Is that fast mechanical structure running on the road the product of the dwarf tribe? Or alchemy?
It's really strange. It looks like an engineering product of the dwarfs, but it has fluctuations in magic power. Could it be that they have really figured it out and decided to try to use the power of magic to improve their products?
And that constantly rolling projection... It's such a wonderful idea. It can transform the magic projection into this style. This kind of thinking mode is really... genius!
Everything he saw was too fresh. For a moment, this mysterious man stopped and stayed there.
"Brother, please stay out of the way!"
"Oh, sorry……"
The mysterious man stepped aside to the side, and then stared blankly at the flow of people behind him as they slowly moved forward. In front of them, rows of tables were neatly placed, with signs erected next to them. The mysterious man's eyes twitched as he read the content on the sign, feeling that he had come to the wrong place.

Datang Magic Projection Chamber of Commerce is recruiting...
Recruitment advertisements from chambers of commerce were stretched out one after another, filled with various job positions, conditions and salaries. After the large number of people brought by the intercity buses got off the bus, they couldn't wait to rush to the tables in front of them. There was a long queue, and there were guides beside them to help guide them, ask them what they thought, and help them recommend suitable jobs...
The bustling crowd makes the place extremely lively, even diluting the biting cold wind of the cold month - wait? Speaking of biting cold wind…
The mysterious man suddenly raised his head and glanced. There was a huge curved ceiling above. A clever steel frame structure was used to hold up the ceiling, completely covering the entire station. The cold wind outside could not blow in at all, and for some reason , the temperature here is very warm, even making him feel a little awkward who is used to the cold.
Am I... in the wrong place?
Feeling a little bored, the mysterious man slowly lifted off his hood, revealing a square face of a middle-aged uncle. He had a slight beard, deep eyes, and his randomly trimmed blond hair was slightly messy. His temples were faintly faded. White, adding a bit of vicissitudes to him.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's eyes were twitching. Why did he feel that this city was so different from other cities? Although other cities have become a bit strange along the way, but here, the whole style is completely different!
"This gentleman."
A guide saw the mysterious man standing there alone, walked over and looked at him, and asked enthusiastically: "What is your name?"
"Just call me Horus."
That's right, this man is Horus Hohenheim!
Although his achievements were earth-shattering, due to the interference of the Dragon Clan, his name was only circulated in a very small circle. People outside did not know him at all, so he could use his name with confidence.
"It turns out to be Mr. Horus."
The guide smiled and said: "I wonder what Mr. Horus wants to do in Ellington? Looking for relatives? Settling down? Shopping? Traveling? Or looking for a job? I can help you."
Horus looked at him a little strangely: "Why are you so enthusiastic about me? We obviously don't know each other, right?"
The guide chuckled and said, "Most people who have just arrived at Ellington will ask this question. It's actually very simple, because my job is to help you."
"Work?"
"Yes, you see, I am too old to do heavy and tiring work, and I can't help His Majesty Tang En to build this place. If I just stay at home and enjoy the benefits, it will be a complete hindrance. Everyone feels very I couldn’t let it go, so I jointly submitted a letter requesting to do some work within our capacity, so His Majesty Tang En set up a job specifically for us old men and ladies, where we would welcome outsiders and help them tide over the difficulties.”
The guide said with a smile: "Although the salary of the guide's job is not much, it still earns several hundred gold, which can be regarded as subsidizing the family, and there is also complete welfare protection. Even if something happens, it will not be a burden to the family. Everyone Of course they are very positive.”
"salary?"
Horus looked at him in surprise: "Who is still getting paid to be a guide?"
"Of course, His Majesty Tang En said that it is natural to be rewarded for your hard work. Of course you will be rewarded for your work... Of course, this was something that was unthinkable two years ago."
The guide said with great emotion: "In just two years, His Majesty Tang En has completely changed this place, and also changed all of us..."
"Your Majesty Tang En... If I remember correctly, the current king of the Illus Empire should be Victor, right?"
The guide was suddenly stunned: "How long has it been since you came out? At the beginning of the year, His Majesty Victor was assassinated by Prince Gilad, and our Lord Down of Ellington had already married Queen Olena and became Ella The Regent of Russ is here!”
Horus was startled, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
"But thanks to His Majesty Tang En, our Illus Empire was able to successfully regain Solant... Ah, it's not that I say that His Majesty Victor is not good, His Majesty Victor is also a very kind Majesty, but it is a pity that He has ideas but no ability, but His Majesty Tang En truly leads us to become rich and powerful."
The guide sighed and suddenly slapped his head: "Look, where have you gone? You haven't said what you want to do in Ellington..."
The expression on Horus's face was quite complicated: "Let's just call it a search..."
"Oh? I'm here to visit relatives. I don't know who you're looking for? If it's a former Ellington resident, I can help you. If it's a recent move, I'm afraid you can only go to the household registration bureau. ”
Horus smiled and asked: "That man's name is Abaddon——"
"So you are Lord Abaddon's friend!"
The guide's eyes widened, and he immediately changed his honorific title and said, "What a coincidence! I actually know where Lord Alberton lives! You can take bus No. 1 from the bus stop at the west exit of the station. Go to Luyin Community. Lord Alberton’s new home is in Courtyard No. 3 of Luyin Community. Oops, it’s a bit complicated. I’ll take you there myself! However, Lord Alberton often goes in and out, so you may not be able to see him there. It’s up to him!”
"But your job..."
"It's okay, you are Lord Abaddon's friend. I - ah, I'm afraid I don't need to take you there! Please wait a moment!"
The guide was suddenly startled, left a word and hurried out. A moment later, he ran back with a beautiful girl, who turned out to be Elsa who happened to be out on business.
Elsa was suddenly stopped by someone. She was surprised, and then she was brought to an uncle in a daze: "What's the matter? I'm very busy..."
"Ms. Elsa, this Mr. Horus is your father's friend. He is on his way to your home. If he happens to see you, please take him directly there."
"Father's friend?"
Elsa looked at Horus in surprise: "Why have I never heard of this name?"
Is she Abaddon's daughter?
Horus smiled lightly and said, "It's normal that you don't know me. Your father will definitely not mention my name."
Anyway, we are in Ellington, so we are not afraid of being a bad guy. Elsa did not doubt that he was there and said cheerfully: "Then come with me. I will give you a ride on the way."
Horus followed Elsa's footsteps and walked north. He asked a little doubtfully: "Didn't you say you should take the No. 1 bus to the west exit?"
"No, no, no, I have a matching car, but that... ahem..."
Elsa's face turned red, and she said a little coyly: "I just drove a little slowly..."
Although Tang En taught her how to drive step by step, Elsa did not seem to have any talent in this area. Even after getting a driver's license, she still did not master the tricks. On the other hand, Brian, who was not suitable for driving, hardly needed any teaching. As soon as I got started, I felt like an experienced driver.
After following Elsa to the parking lot, Horus had the opportunity to observe the so-called "magic car" up close. There were indeed obvious traces of engineering, but the driving force should come from magic. It was very clever. structure……
But after a while, Horus discovered to his amazement that it was no wonder Elsa was so embarrassed, because the vehicle she was driving was indeed very slow, and its magic output was too low. It did not realize the potential of this vehicle at all. .
Even the two-wheeled vehicles ridden by the people next to her were faster than her...
As if noticing Horus' gaze, Elsa's pretty face turned even redder: "Although I drive slowly, I drive steadily..."
