For Tevelin, the first night in Elson City can be called a "sleepless night". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of the cities built by the Tasman "Lamb", Fort Collins was not as prosperous as Houllier. This is the upper limit that can be determined by the economic base, after all, they are enclosed in an environment surrounded by mountains with little foreign trade, and the slow pace of development is inevitable.

Before they were "infected", all of them were just residents of villages on the outskirts of Tasman towns. In other words, a hillbilly who will never go to the city for almost his entire life.

After becoming the Tiffling, their lives were largely the same as those of the Savages. Decades of starvation and hunger had passed, and farming had become an unattainable luxury—but since Elder Luther decided to follow Roddy with all of them, life seemed to have suddenly improved.

Drinking porridge every day in the Tasman village, and not having to hide in fear under the protection of the soldiers, was enough to make them grateful. And when they came to Elson City and lived in a warm and clean residence, the huge contrast made them difficult to digest for a while.

Nora walked on the smooth stone path and looked up at the clear blue sky.

There is no humidity and no constant rain. The warm, dry wind slid through her fingertips, making her breathe deeply. The streets in the field of vision are spotless, completely devoid of the filth of a country village mixed with the smell of feces. The stone buildings are not only similar in shape, but also very elegant, and the buildings on the street are full of sculptures in the style of high elves, and the delicate carvings make Nora dare not touch them with her hands.

More than 200 Teflins, 60 dwellings were temporarily allocated according to families. The residential area of Elson City has been built in a centralized manner for ease of management, so that the more than 100 houses are all placed next to each other and spread around the two streets. Outside of the residential area is the area that Elder Luther warned not to go out for the time being.

Now that Elder Luther was no longer the only one in charge of the Teflins, Nora looked curiously at the tall building at the end of the street, with a wooden sign that she didn't recognize, because she wasn't educated. I only vaguely remember what it was called "Neighborhood Council" or something like that.

On their first day here, everyone was given brand-new clothes, food and keys to their homes at this "committee". I also saw the shop that had opened next to it - it had all the bells and whistles, cooking utensils, and all kinds of food that smelled very good.

At the dinner that followed, Elder Luther personally gathered everyone together and talked about the rules of "Elson City" for two hours.

To Nora's excitement, Elder Luther said that in the future they would be able to move freely between cities, whether it was a market, a theater, or a tavern. However, for the first month, everyone was restricted to the area designated by the guards.

At the same time, Luther emphasized that whether it is to buy goods or watch a play, you need money to pay for it.

The older generation of Tevelyn had used money at least in the Tasman, but the younger generation, born and raised in the forest, had no idea what "coin" was. Nora had the courage to ask several questions to figure out what the currency looked like and what it was worth, and then she asked the same question that all Teflin cared about: How do you get the coin?

"Tomorrow morning, someone will come and assign us tasks. Those who complete the task will be rewarded with the corresponding currency, and if they don't finish it, they will be hungry, you see? Starting tomorrow, you will have to rely on your own labor to exchange for food!"

Nora still remembers Elder Luther's exclamations after saying this—Tevelyn was accustomed to starving and being fed, and at the same time blurred the concept of "equivalent exchange." Tevelin, who was as old and frail as Nora's mother, could hardly do anything during the migration with the tribe, neither hunting nor planting, and died by picking up some wild fruits and mushrooms in the woods for tooth sacrifices.

The idea that "the food is taken care of by the hunting party" has been implemented for decades, and they all eat a big pot of rice before arriving in Elson, so until now, many Teflin have not accepted this set of values, and when Nora walks the streets, he can vaguely hear many Tevlin complaining about this system...

There are lazy people in any ethnic group, and this situation is normal.

Norran was young, but he was already a pre-level hunter, so he was mentally prepared to put in the effort. And after eating the oats that her mother cooked in the morning, she went to the location near the "neighborhood committee" early, waiting for the "mission" that might arise today.

Nora has a positive attitude towards life, which no other Tevling can match.

After a short time, a group of Elson City soldiers arrived as scheduled, and the first thing they did was to ask Tevelin, who was willing to accept the mission, to follow him to the mission location. Nora didn't hesitate to sign up with the other members of the hunting party, and some of the young Tevelyn who had gained the ability to "transform" because of the mutation also eagerly followed.

But those long-term guys in the past stood still at this time.

There were more than 230 people, and only 70 were willing to come out. Luther's face was not good-looking, but he didn't say anything. The soldier who led the team was even more expressionless, turned around and led the group through the block, to a warehouse full of goods, and then explained the content of the mission in detail.

The task is simple: transport boxes of goods onto the transport ship, and each person receives a payment according to the amount of goods moved.

Such a thing was easy for Tevelin, who had the ability to "transform", and a group of young people started to do it. After the transformation, this group of tall and strong guys carried a weapon box of several hundred pounds with ease, and with a whoosh, a ship was full.

Just when they were a little proud, the transport ship that started later scared a group of dirt buns to the ground, and when they saw that the dozens of tons of cargo were easily pulled away, Nora, like all Tevlin, couldn't help but grow her mouth, and couldn't speak for a while.

The best vehicle they had ever seen to carry goods was a horse-drawn carriage. And the cargo that a carriage can carry is only more than a ton, and not only that, but it is also troublesome to take care of the pack horses. You can't be hungry, you can't freeze, you have to rest when you're sick - but what is this monster that pulls dozens of tons of cargo away in the blink of an eye?!

And just as they were about to carry the next batch of containers, the overseer, who had been silent a moment ago, came out and pointed out more than twenty people with his fingers, and motioned for them to follow to another place. Nora looked over with some curiosity, only to find that the overseer was also pointing at her—a generic gesture that Nora could understand, so she walked to the other side with the twenty-odd people in front of her.
