After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2181

Chapter 2181: Zaol’s Attempts

Several minutes or so of the two powerhouses’ tit and tat was torturous to their companions. They never outright insult each other, but it was full of the passive-aggressive flair that nobles were known for.

Worst of all, they often unconsciously let out their powerhouse auras, making everyone’s eyes twitch in discomfort.

For example, Sir Zaol would say something like "I’m surprised you’re still alive."

Then the other old man would quip something like, "I live in a City, after all, not in the boonies."

Another would say, "You’re still stuck at that level after two years of seclusion?"

The old man would reply, "How many aether stones did you waste this time?"

They would even raise some ’old stories’. For example, since Laizon was much older than Zaol, he actually had a lot of the latter’s childhood stories. "When you were a toddler, you defecated everywhere. It was disgusting."

Zaol’s expression turned a little green, but otherwise, he controlled all expressions on his face. He would then give Laizon a look. "Most old people suffer from incontinence until death." He then rubbed his nose as if he smelled something.

For example, Laizon would also raise some of his ’peach blossom debts’ back in the day. "So arrogant. I don’t see what all those ladies saw in you back in your youth. Didn’t some of them literally throw themselves naked at you?"

Zaol shivered and looked around, fearing his wife would misunderstand. "Stop saying nonsense! I haven’t started anything with those women!" He said before pausing, giving Laizon a meaningful gaze. "I don’t know why your missus stayed with you for so long with that temper of yours. Are you sure you didn’t chain her?"

Occasionally, they would anger each other to the degree that their auras would leak out in waves. Zaol was already at the peak of level 55 while Laizon was level 60. How could it be pleasant to people around them?

They also controlled it just enough so they wouldn’t cause damage and trigger the rules, but it was uncomfortable all over.

It got to the point that guards were called in.

Alterra’s guard had a lot of confidence in their territory. Even if they were a third of the other’s level, they could get relentless in their lectures, knowing that as long as they were in the right, the territory would back them up.

They were very blunt with their criticisms. For example, they asked ’how old they were and how old their grandchildren were, and why they were arguing like their grandchildren,’ and so on.

The two people with combined ages of almost 300 years old: "..."

...

To summarize, Laizon had seen a lot of Alterra and its culture, but he was successfully blocked from investigating the source of the aether anomalies.

When Zaol got back home, he pretty much melted into the soft plush sofa. It was made of down or feather filling made of gugu bird feathers. The process to get this wasn’t straightforward, though. Gugu Bird feathers were a little stiff at the start and even had small defense capabilities. They weren’t much and couldn’t be used in defense equipment, but they were a hassle since they were used in miscellaneous things, like as down feathers.

Alterran product researchers had long found ways to soften them up, creating high-quality cushions where one could sink into.

He passively sank down on the sofa with a relaxed expression on his face. It was almost like he was dipping into cool water after being boiled.
