The scavengers are the lowest workers in Crescent City. At the same time, it is also a beautiful scenery of the Aegean coast.

In the early morning, when the roosters crow, the scavengers get up from their homes. After washing, they carried a self-woven sandalwood basket and headed to their place of work, the Aegean coast.

Because in the early morning, the Aegean Sea rushes in. Depending on the action of the tides, sand from the sea is transported to the Aegean coast. Scavengers look for brightly colored stones from the sand and put them in baskets they carry behind them.

I leave home early in the morning and return home at dusk. Because they bend down to pick up all day, they form a hunchback over time, and they are called 'ostrich tribes' by the children of Crescent City.

However, the scavengers are the treasure of Crescent City. They pick it up all day and sell it to gold diggers at a low price. Gold diggers use magic to refine and sell them to fairs for retouching. Eventually, it was put up for auction at a diamond firm.

They are the hardest people, but they are the most humble people in the eyes of the people...

After a difficult night's rest, Emperor Allen and the Inspector of the Yi Empire arrived on the Aegean coast early. After dressing up, he joined the ranks of the scavengers.

It was Elizhe's idea, and it was Allen's request. Things have to go back to last night...

.........

After nearly an hour of cleaning and cleaning, Alan and Elizhe sorted out the room. Using magical energy, he hypnotized the rats that were rampant, and the two of them could sleep quietly.

As soon as they lay down on the bed, the two immediately got to the point...

Allen: "I'd like to investigate the diamond situation here, I wonder if you have any good ways to cut in?"

Elizhe: "Yes, I don't know how you want to investigate?"

Allen: "From the root check, I want to know the true origin of the Diamond King. ”

Elizhe: "I want to start from the grassroots... It's not impossible, but you have to be wronged yourself. ”

Allen: "How?"

Elizhe: "Be a waste picker." ”

Allen: "Become a waste picker?"

Elizhe: "Yes, they're the meniest jobs in Crescent City, but they're the real suppliers of diamonds. ”

Alan: "The most despicable job?"

Elizhe: "Well, the people of Crescent City look down on them even as children, but I think they are the most glorious messengers. ”

Allen: "Oh!"

Elizhe: "They get up early every morning and go to the shoreline to pick up the raw material of the diamonds, the glowing stones, and sell them to the gold diggers at a low price to use magic to temper. Gold diggers extract the diamonds and sell them to trading houses at a high price. After polishing and making, it forms exquisite jewelry for people to use. ”

Allen: "Oh!"

Elizhe: "Well, so the only way to investigate diamonds is to become a scavenger and slowly find out what is going on. ”

Allen: "Okay! that's it..."

.........

The two, who had never gotten up early, followed the team of scavengers early in the morning with a pair of panda eyes to their work site, the Aegean Coast.

There are thousands of roads into the Aegean coast, but there is only one entrance and exit for the scavengers. Due to the needs of urban development, other roads have become operational gateways. That is, there is a fee.

The entrance to the scavengers, on either side of the Aegean coast, is blocked by two black fences. A one-way road that can only be entered from the right side and exited on the left.

At the edge of the black fence, there are many dense iron pins inserted horizontally to prevent anyone from breaking through the black fence into the toll area.

"Oops!" Alan and Elizhe hid in the crowd and walked quietly in a line. Suddenly, Allen's right arm was pierced by an iron needle, and he couldn't help the pain and screamed.

Suddenly, the entire crowd of black-pressed scavengers turned around, looking for the source of the sound. When everyone's eyes were fixed on Allen, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

Because in the long-term work of waste pickers, they have already learned how to avoid being pricked by iron needles. And the young man in front of him must be a novice who has just joined the work.

Alan was a little embarrassed by everyone, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to walk forward. While following behind the large army, he paid attention to the small iron needles around him.

"Hehe..." Yi Laizhe wore a black cloak and couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the embarrassment of Emperor Allen.

"Bell—what are you laughing at?" Alan went up and gave him a slap to punish Elizhe for laughing at him.

Thinking about it, Yi Laizhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty... Childe, Childe also has times when he makes a fool of himself... Hahahaha..."

"Look ahead!" Alan was enraged by Elizhe's sneer, just in time to see what was going on in front of him.

"Oops!" an exclamation came out, and Yi Laizhe, who was walking, forgot to look at the road. When he came to a corner, he encountered an iron needle, which pierced him and made him scream.

Everyone's eyes looked back again, fixing on the other teenager, and a smile appeared on their faces...

"Haha... Ha ha... Hahahaha..."Now it was Alan's turn to laugh. Seeing Yi Laizhe's embarrassment, he smiled from ear to ear.

With a small episode in the ranks of the scavengers, the footsteps of the crowd came to the Aegean coast. Lined up, in the order they were currently arranged, the crowd began to slowly bend down...

Alan and Eli looked at the other scavengers, and reached behind their backs with their left hands, covering the mouth of the wooden basket behind them. Reaching out to the beach with his right hand, he threw the shiny sand and rocks into the wooden basket.

Feeling the dampness beneath his feet, Alan knew the tide had just passed. The beach is ankle-length, and scavengers need to fish out the bright sand and rocks from the sea.

At this time, Alan and Elizhe noticed. As a result of years of soaking, the scavengers' palms have become white puffy, and their fingertips have been smoothed by the habitual picking action.

Seeing such a difficult scene, Alan and Elizhe glanced at each other. I was deeply shocked in my mind, and I was moved by their tireless work.

Eyes turned to their backs, a fist hump standing out in the moonlight. Like a well, it is like a well, showing the professionalism of the waste pickers.

Looking at it, the two of them couldn't help but shed tears of emotion...

Alan remembered that his zeal to build an empire could not be compared to the group of ordinary people in front of him. Every bit of the empire is woven by this group of people hand by hand...

Yi Laizhe remembered his past in the True God Hall, and couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. I thought that under the aura of the true god, I was like the son of God who had come into the world. But the scavengers in front of them, who are also the creations of the true God, why do they live such a hard life...

Before you know it, it's getting dark. Far away on the edge of the sky and the sea, four or eight huge cargo ships floated slowly. Groups of tourists landed on the Aegean coast and started their new journey.

Lots of wooden doors slowly opened, and the merchants who contracted the area to visit the coastline began to do business for a new day. There are a variety of different styles of signboards, attracting the attention of tourists.

It was already noon, and the heat of the sun burned people's skin. As a result, some wealthy tourists have come to the beach and put on swimsuits to swim in the sea.

However, no one cares about this silent group of scavengers...

At noon, all the scavengers stopped what they were doing. Sitting on the beach, they ate the food they had put in the basket in the morning. Talking while eating...

"How many did you pick up?"

"Not much, a thousand!"

"Wow, that's a lot!"

"It's a lot less than yesterday!"

"Then let's finish it!

"Uh-huh. ”

......

...

After lunch, the scavengers continued their afternoon work. Everyone picked out the glowing stones in the sand and didn't bother to talk to each other.

Alan and Elizhe continued to sit on the beach, their backs aching from half a day's exertion. After eating the delicious snacks brought out of the palace, he stood up and stretched.

When the two set their eyes on the rich people on the beach, their hearts were filled with indignation. While the scavengers toil their toil, they are enjoying the imperial treatment...

Some hired their own chefs and started a fire on the beach...

Some people bring other people's wives, and they look at each other ambiguously while making love...

Some people bought poor slave girls and served them to eat...

Seeing such a stark contrast, Allen's heart ached. He decided to go back and rebuild the empire so that the people could live happily ever after.

Time, like quicksand on the beach, is slowly passing. Alan looked up at the sky and saw that the day had passed quickly, and it was already approaching dusk.

The scavengers, who had been working on the shoreline for a day, straightened up and headed out towards a road on the left. The heavy results bent their backs, but their faces were filled with happy smiles. Because of the day's work, it's time to harvest...

Alan and Elizhe continued to mingle with the crowd, following in their footsteps to a two-meter-high city gate. It is an exaggeration to call it a 'city gate', but it should be called a 'city cave'.

All scavengers enter through this gate, which leads to a large trading market. The brightly dressed gold diggers waited for a long time, and when the scavengers arrived, their faces covered with sinister smiles.

Alan and Elizhe approached a gold digger and placed the heavy glowing stone on his back at his feet. I thought he would offer a good price, but I didn't expect...

"A silver coin!" said the bearded middle-aged man in front of him with a grim face.

"What?!"

Alan and Elizhe exclaimed, immediately attracting the attention of scavengers and gold diggers. Everyone looked at them with puzzled eyes, their eyes full of mixed emotions.

One silver coin, for an ordinary family, can provide ten days of food. But for the scavengers, it's a hard day's work. Risking his life hunched over in exchange for ten days' worth of food...
