As soon as Zuo Yi walked out of the isolation fence outside the central tower, many children immediately surrounded him, trying to recommend themselves or sell products to him.
These children are all in their teens. Most of them have curly yellow hair and blue or red eyes. They are obviously descendants of immigrants from the Seles Kingdom.
There are 50,000 to 60,000 extraordinary beings from Daxia in Dragon City Fortress, and the number of immigrants exceeds 100,000!
Except for a few mages, knights and craftsmen supported by the Kingdom of Seles, most of the immigrants in Seles are civilians and untouchables. Although their status is low, their role in this city is irreplaceable.
Workers in workshops, farmers in underground farming estates, cleaners, handymen, waiters, shop assistants, individual craftsmen... Without the hard work of these people, the current Dragon City Fortress cannot be maintained for a day.
Zuo Yi once read an investigation report on the Dragon City Fortress and believed that these Seles immigrants had actually become an important bargaining chip for the Seles Kingdom to maintain its influence on the Dragon City Fortress, even more powerful than the mages and mages sent by the royal family.
The knight is bigger!
Most of these Seles people who traveled thousands of miles to the Dragon City Fortress to make a living were from shabby and bankrupt households. Most of them could not survive in their hometowns, so they took the risk and chose this city as their new home.
You must know that the Dragon City Fortress is located on the northwest border of the Seles Kingdom, and it faces threats from the orcs at all times.
Who would be willing to come here if they can settle down and establish a career locally?
It is said that the most attractive thing about the Dragon City Fortress among Seles civilians is that the class gap in this city is not very big. The extraordinary people of Daxia are quite friendly to them. There are no nobles who are above them to take life and death, whether it is the environment or the
The public security situation far exceeds that of most cities in the Seles Kingdom.
Of course, if you want to live a better life in Dragon City Fortress, you must work, even children are no exception.
Zuo Yi didn't have a single coin in his pocket, so he ignored the salesmen and reached out to tap a little girl about ten years old who was looking for a tour guide: "What's your name?"
There are four or five children who want to be Zuo Yi's tour guide. She is the only girl. She is thin and small. Although her clothes are a little shabby, she is still neat and tidy, unlike the others who are sloppy.
"Hello, my lord."
The little girl suppressed her inner joy, stepped forward and saluted Zuo Yi respectfully: "My name is Niya, it is an honor to serve you. I was born in Dragon City and I am very familiar with this place."
Her Chinese is very standard, and her awkward accent is almost invisible.
Zuo Yi chose her, and the other children scattered away in disappointment, waiting for the next target.
"very good."
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "Now take me to the bank."
The currency circulating in Dragon City Fortress is not the Xia Yuan of Daxia, but the gold, silver and copper coins of the Seles Kingdom. Extraordinary people coming from Daxia can exchange gold in the bank.
The bank in the Dragon City Fortress was jointly opened by Daxia and the Seles Kingdom.
If the extraordinary beings in Daxia want to live in the Dragon City Fortress, they must either bring gold to exchange it, or take on various tasks issued by the Dragon City Management Committee to get rewards, or join the Dragon City Guards and various departments under the Management Committee.
.
Zuo Yi has no intention of staying in the Dragon City Fortress, and of course he will not go on missions to work. There are hundreds of tons of gold stored in his space ring, and just taking out a piece of it is enough to spend here.
Nia immediately said: "Sir, please come with me, the bank is in front."
Toot!
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, a black four-wheeled steam car drove past the two people.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The environment here, the roads and buildings, the costumes of the people passing by, and the steam machinery driving on the road, give us a sense of the industrial revolution.
"This is a Buffalo III steam car..."
Nia introduced: "The latest one produced by Bison Steam Machinery Factory costs more than a hundred gold coins."
The metal currency of the Seles Kingdom is 1 gold = 10 silver = 1,000 copper. There are also copper-corner auxiliary coins. The purchasing power of 1 copper is roughly equivalent to 1 Xia Yuan. More than 100 gold is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Xia Yuan.
It's considered a luxury here.
Zuo Yi was curious: "Do you know anything about cars?"
Nia puffed up her chest and said proudly: "My father works at Bison Steam Machinery Factory!"
No wonder then.
Under the leadership of Nia, Zuo Yi quickly arrived at the bank.
He exchanged a 10kg gold brick for Seles Kingdom gold coins and filled a large bag with more than 3,000 coins.
Zuo Yi casually grabbed a few gold coins and gave them to Nia: "I'll give you the tour guide fee first."
"Sir, there are too many."
Nia's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "One silver coin is enough."
"Just take it if I tell you to."
Zuo Yi forced it into her hand, then put the money bag into the space ring: "Let's go."
Nia's eyes were red: "Thank you, sir."
She dutifully took Zuo Yi around the Dragon City Fortress and tried her best to answer Zuo Yi's questions.
Zuo Yi understood it almost. Seeing that it was getting dark, he said: "Okay, let's stop here. It's getting late. You should go home quickly."
Nia didn't expect that her task would be completed so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. Then she bowed deeply to Zuo Yi and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir!"
Zuo Yi gave her six gold coins, equivalent to two months' salary of her father!
Zuo Yi couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub her head and said, "Go ahead."
Nia said "Yeah", turned around and ran away, like a rabbit chased by hounds, panicking and timidly.
Zuo Yi laughed dumbly.
He stopped a taxi that had just passed by and asked the driver to take him to the largest and busiest tavern in the city.
The largest and busiest tavern in the Dragon City Fortress is called the Copper Dragon Tavern. When Zuo Yi came over in a taxi, the tavern was already very lively, with one to two hundred drinkers gathered.
Many of these drinkers are from Seles, as well as extraordinary people from Daxia. The waiters serving drinks in the tavern are all beautiful blond girls. They are all charming, bold and attentive. This is probably the fundamental reason why business here is booming.
Unlike the guests whose eyes were glued to the tavern girl, Zuo Yi looked for his target in the crowd and soon found it.
He ordered a glass of ale at the bar and walked directly towards his target with the glass in hand.
