In the early morning, there was not much business in the Warhammer and Helm Tavern.

This time was not the working hours for Kony and Maria, but the two half-elves still got up early and helped the dwarf proprietress, who had just come back from outside and was still a little distracted, clean the entire tavern.

Then, in the astonished eyes of the landlady, he told them to prepare to say goodbye.

"How can you leave after doing well? Is the salary low? I can give you a salary increase."

The dwarf landlady, whose eyes were still a little red, asked angrily, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

She really liked these two half-elf girls, they were agile, willing to endure hardships, patient, and pretty.

Since the arrival of Corny and Maria three days ago, the Warhammer and Helmet Tavern's business, which had declined rapidly due to the lack of dancers, has improved significantly, which has also relieved the boss's original anxiety a lot.

The only pity is that these two half-elves are serious girls and cannot work part-time in some quick-paying jobs like the dancers in the past.

It has to be said that the slave redemption and the standardization of the seafood industry in Zeelandia have indeed had a great impact on the originally chaotic seafood market in Minas Tirith. Some underground technician training institutions that use this as their main business have even had a greater impact.

He was hit hard in an instant and almost withered.

Zeelandia was originally a city-state with an extremely imbalanced ratio of men to women, so every time after the market closed, the night market seafood stalls and unlicensed technicians were full of customers.

In order to squeeze out more labor, some unscrupulous merchants have no regard for the hard work of cooks and technicians. They arrange everything in an orderly manner, both in terms of time and maximizing the use of resources.

Even in the middle of the night, you can often see some careless drivers openly driving drunk in the green corners of the streets. In the early morning, the smell of alanyl glutamine still lingers in the air, bringing an extremely negative image to the entire city.

Impact.

Moreover, under this kind of high-intensity work, except for the outstanding technicians who have long been accustomed to this kind of life, ordinary practitioners can easily overwork and even cause work-related injuries and diseases.

After the industry was standardized, the air purification index of the entire city in the early morning showed an exponential increase. The Department of Finance was also surprised to find that although the number of practitioners had dropped slightly, the city-state's tax revenue had increased significantly.

It soon dawned on them that they had greatly underestimated the prosperity of this industry in Zeelandia.

Where there is demand, there is supply. In just a few decades, countless unregistered slaves came to this strange and prosperous city-state driven by profit.

But before that, it was difficult for them to enjoy the rights that the people of this city-state deserved.

However, most of the benefits they create flow into the pockets of gray industry manufacturers.

After this point was inadvertently spread, the administrative class of the nearby Silver Moon City and Jishui City also began to have doubts. Faced with the temptation of huge profits, they also began to consider whether to learn to follow the advanced technology of Zeelandia's tertiary industry.

Reform experience.

But any reform will always have costs and victims.

Those in the front row who were sacrificed were undoubtedly the group of slave traders and various gray underground organizations.

The rulers are naturally happy to see success in cracking down on these parasitic worms in the city-state. Of course, the premise is that there is a team that is not afraid of the powerful and can resolutely carry out the task.

The second echelon is taverns like Warhammer and Helmet that also sell farmed seafood.

The landlady was used to the days of collecting huge profits, but she was not used to the sudden change in life. She asked whether she should move to Silver Moon City or Jishui City, buy a few more dancers, and reopen a tavern. She even talked to Iron Hammer about this.

Had a fight.

Unexpectedly, Tie Hammer actually joined the army without telling her. When she rushed to the military camp angrily on her alchemy bicycle, she was told that Tie Hammer had officially returned to the army.

But when she questioned her husband, Iron Hammer, who was silent at first, replied:

"If we really did that, what would be the difference from the illithids who enslaved us gray dwarves back then? After leaving Zeelandia, besides returning to the Underdark, where else would we welcome sinners like us?"

These words made Tie Hammer's wife turn to stone, and then she broke down and started howling, yelling for Tie Hammer to go back with her. This scene also attracted the bewildered onlookers of many big-headed soldiers.

But Iron Hammer flatly refused:

"Everyone should have the right to choose. This is also the right that Zelandia gives to each of us. At this moment, it is my choice to fight for Zelandia and for our iron hammer.

Fight with hammer and helmet."

These words immediately made the surrounding soldiers stand in awe, as if even his original idea of ​​joining the army to gain military glory and money had been spiritually sublimated.

Xu saw that his daughter-in-law, who was originally as strong as steel, showed such a fragile side, so Tie Zhui still hugged her and comforted her:

"Dear, don't be afraid, I am very good at hammering. When we come back from this trip, we will have money. Then we can apply for a business license, renovate our pub and upgrade it to a high-end club. I

If you shamelessly go to the Tiger clan leader to help find connections and hire a group of drow technicians from the dark areas who yearn for freedom and sunshine, then, my dear, you can just be your boss lady."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Iron Hammer's daughter-in-law was immediately moved and burst into tears.

""

All the colleagues who were dumbfounded also had their faces full of confusion. After Tie Hammer sent his wife back, they all asked Tie Hammer to issue coupons and asked him to promise to allow them brothers to carry guns together again on the opening day.

Iron Hammer's daughter-in-law, who was in a complicated mood, didn't expect that she would hear the news that her two right-hand assistants were resigning as soon as she returned to the tavern, so she naturally tried her best to persuade them to stay.

Faced with the proprietress's attempts to stay, Kony and Maria also had mixed emotions.

If possible, they also want to continue living in this magical city and continue to work in this pub that brings them unprecedented warmth.

Although it had only been three days, Corny was already convinced that the silver dragon lord did not lie to her.

In this prosperous city-state, as long as you work hard enough, you can live a free and happy life through your own labor.

In these short three days, she and Koni worked at noon and night. After getting off work every day, they could get the day's salary and a warm supper from the boss's wife and go back to their small but warm staff dormitory to enjoy it.

Dessert time for them.

Since the passenger flow is not very large, they are only busier at night and are not too tired from work.

When she first went to work, she was a little worried that she and Kony would be harassed by some customers.

Soon they discovered that those customers only looked at her with lustful eyes and kept circling on her legs and breasts, but they did not take any substantive action.

It wasn't until one day when I was serving food that I saw a customer asking the landlady about them, that I heard the dwarf landlady's warning to the guest.

The rejected guests only complained a few times, but their attitude towards them became more polite.

It was only when they asked the boss lady after get off work that they found out that in Zeelandia, everyone enjoys the most basic human rights protection.

If they are harassed against their will, as long as they are reported to the Wolf Riders who patrol the streets, they will be given tea by the Minas Tirith Police Station.

Depending on the seriousness of the case, you may be detained under civil law and fined up to 5 silver coins, and a record of the crime will be left at the Zelandia Sheriff's Office, which will have an impact on your future military qualifications and job applications.

If the crime is of a bad nature, the crime tools may even be confiscated directly.

The two half-elves were stunned when they heard this.

Then they discovered that there was another important reason why the guests treated them so politely, and that was that in Zeelandia, the half-elf race was very respected.

The dwarf boss lady told them that forty-six years ago, a half-elf ranger named Elline accidentally discovered traces of ancient evil things in the eternal wilderness. In order to warn them, she risked her life and death and almost crossed the

He successfully conveyed this news to the eternal wilderness where dangers were everywhere and the trolls were everywhere, thereby resolving a terrible crisis that was likely to sweep the entire Northland.

This move directly raised the status of half-elves in the entire Northland by several levels. Especially in Minas Tirith, half-elf rangers have become the most ideal marriage partners for almost all people.

This news made Kony silent for a long time.

Because in Calushan, and even in the entire south, except for a few isolated forests, these half-elves who wander on the fringes of society are almost synonymous with slaves.

It would be great if all of Corell could be like Zelandia. Then, we half-elves wouldn't have to hide around like Maria and I. Coni thought so.

At the same time, Corny suddenly had the desire to meet the legendary half-elf Elline.

She wanted to pray to the other party, and to find a glimmer of hope for happiness for the half-elves of Calinshan.

As a result, I was told that the half-elf heroine had left the White City and gone to the distant Cormyr in Middle-earth. Cormanthor in the north of Cormyr was once the largest birthplace and gathering place of elves and half-elves.

Corny knew immediately that Ellini had not let her down. Instead of indulging in the glory and praise of her past achievements, Ellini went to Middle-earth to continue her great vision of saving half-elves.

It's just that it wasn't Calinshan who saved them.

Just when Kony was distracted at work, an elderly customer saw the little Maria struggling to bring a big basin of grilled fish to the table. He called the landlady directly and asked her why.

They will recruit child labor, saying that at Maria's age, she should theoretically receive Zelandia's free compulsory education in the classroom of Zelandia Mining Children's Primary School.

So poor little Maria lost her job on the spot

In the middle of the night, I cried very sadly on Kony's chest. While crying, I rubbed Kony's chest into the shape of her head.

For an elf who has tasted the dividends of living in a city-state with a shortage of labor for the first time, a life in which he can earn a lot of small coins just by serving dishes every day, and can use these small coins to buy enough food to eat, is simply a paradise.

She even wanted to go back immediately, bring all her friends over, serve the dishes together in this friendly big city, and then eat from the first city, Hogg Street, to the seventh city.

It is said that there is a small sapling planted on the green lawn of the Seventh City. When the sapling grows up, the fruit it will produce will be delicious.

But all this has been taken away

Just because that weird uncle said that she was old enough to go to school.

But in their Jenny Sal, going to school is only after work.

She originally liked listening to sister Jenny's lectures.

But now

"I hate going to school and I will never go to school in my life." The innocent Maria cried to Corny at that time.

Then the next morning, little Maria was dragged onto the street by the somewhat interested Corny. After several inquiries, they came to the Minas Tirith branch of Zeelandia Mining Primary School.

Maria, who had been studying at Jenny Sal for many years, still knew some common languages. When she saw the door of xx Elementary School, she burst into tears on the spot, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by and the concierge.

The poor elf thought that his sister, Coni, was going to throw him into school and he would serve the dishes and earn money to buy delicious food.
