Chapter 1262 New City Conflict

"Queue up to get off the ship, don't push!" Graycastle people in black uniforms shouted while weaving through the crowd, "Read your number plate clearly, look for the corresponding checkpoint after disembarking, and don't go in the wrong direction!"

Manfold, who had still not recovered from the shock, was pushed by the crowd and boarded the long-lost deck.

A panoramic view of the busy port appeared before him.

It was definitely the largest harbor he had ever seen. The long pier stretched along the coast with no end in sight. Different from the impression of damp and decayed ports in the past, the ground here is paved with a layer of white bricks, making it look neat and clean. Ships of all sizes come and go all the time, even the busiest seaport in the Dawn Kingdom cannot compare.

This should have been a very spectacular sight, and one could tell from the exclamations of the people around him, but for him, it was just a less important addition to his confused and confused mind.

Manfold almost took three steps and looked back in the direction from which the ship came, hoping to see the iron bird again - this was almost an instinctive reaction of the body, as if he was seeking evidence and solace to show that It's not like I'm mired in imagination.

Unfortunately, those incredible things never appeared again until we stepped onto the trestle.

There was a slight sense of loss in his heart.

"Please take out your number plate, compare it with the first three digits, and enter the respective checkpoints!" Many people on the pier shouted with strange metal passes. That thing seemed to have the ability to amplify the sound, and its words even He could hear it clearly in the noisy crowd, "Then follow the instructions of the guide and complete the immigration inspection. Welcome to the capital of Graycastle, and welcome to be one of us!"

Manfold shook his head vigorously, forcing aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and focusing his attention on his eyes.

What a strange way to welcome him - he couldn't help but think that everyone here knew that they did not move to Graycastle on their own initiative, and everything Graycastle did in Wolf Heart also had a coercive meaning, but now he heard that What the other party said still made him feel a little at ease.

The originally towering rock wall suddenly sank here, forming a natural checkpoint, and densely packed migrants lined up in long lines, slowly passing through the checkpoint. The number of people gathered on the pier alone exceeds 10,000, and the migrants are obviously not just from Wolf Heart... being able to mobilize so many people in a short period of time and project the ruler's will to the other three kingdoms, This is probably the best portrayal of Graycastle's strength.

Suddenly, the team stopped moving forward, and Manfeld heard a commotion behind him.

Not only the outsiders, but also the men in black who maintained order showed signs of surprise.

He turned around and found a huge sailless ship slowly sailing into the harbor - it had a slender body, as if the whole body was made of metal, with no exposed paddle wheels on either side, tall and straight The dry strings look extremely powerful. No matter where it is, such a ship is bound to be the center of attention. But obviously, what really surprised the people of Graycastle was not the ship itself, but its condition...

"Are these people crazy? They actually used iron to build ships!" Someone around whispered, "Don't they know that iron will rust when it comes into contact with water?"

"Perhaps the King of Graycastle just wants to show off his wealth... But the iron ship is indeed quite majestic. Before I saw a stone ship, I didn't know that such a heavy thing could float on the water."

"What's the use of being awesome for ten days and a half? I've been on the sea a lot before, and I've never seen anything like this. The corrosive power of salt water is much more serious than you think. Ordinary paint can't protect it for long at all. You see, This is what happens when you mess around.”

Indeed, the large steel ship was covered with black and brown rust spots. The surface that should have been bright was full of pits and scratches, and the damage marks were very glaring, forming a sharp contrast with the white dock. The mast overhead was even broken into several sections and scattered limply on the front deck. Coupled with its slow movements when it approaches the shore, it looks like a sea beast that has entered its twilight years.

But is His Majesty Roland Wimbledon's purpose in building this ship really just to show off?

Seeing the group of black-clad guards quickly opening a passage through the crowd for the sailors on the ship to pass through first, Manfeld had a vague feeling that things might not be that simple.

The commotion soon subsided and the line resumed its flow.

When it was his turn, the inspector simply checked his name and number and let him pass the level.

It wasn't until about thirty people had gathered that a man came forward and said, "I am Matt, the clerk at the Neverwinter Administration Hall. I am temporarily responsible for your resettlement work. I believe you all must have many questions, so don't worry. I'm going to live there." I will explain it to you in detail on the way to the district. Now, please drink the purified water on the table here. It can cure the evil plague on your body - if not, it is also a sweet drink. "

"Do I have to follow you?" someone questioned, "We are now considered a member of Graycastle. We should be able to go wherever we want, right?"

"Only after you obtain your ID card, you will be considered His Majesty's true subject." Matt shook his head, "For ordinary people, this requires one to two years of hard work, and during this period, you must not violate the laws of Graycastle. . However, you are all special talents with special skills. As long as you pass the Qinxin review, you can immediately become an official resident of the city. But the adults in charge of the review do not always have time, and there are so many people applying, so you have to wait for two more days. Three days.”

"Questioning? Aren't you checking your identity?"

"You will know after you experience it for yourself," Matt smiled, "Compared with your past, the review values ​​your present and future more. I also passed such an review before I became a clerk in the Administration Department. Now. , if you have finished drinking water, please come with me——"

This is most likely what the coachman called "an audit that is absolutely impossible to lie," Manfeld thought to himself.

Along the way, Matt did talk about a lot of issues that the migrants are most concerned about, such as what kind of jobs they can do in the future, what kind of treatment they can get, etc... At least judging from the policies announced by the King of Graycastle, the achievements There will be no difference in treatment between immigrants and locals who have formal status.

The other party also used himself as an example and vividly told the mental journey from the initial panic to the gradual adaptation, which made everyone's emotions much more stable.

Just as a group of people entered the temporary residential area on the outskirts, a burst of ear-piercing laughter suddenly caught everyone's attention.

Manfold looked around and saw a group of men dressed as refugees surrounding a woman in the center and kept approaching her. Many people around noticed this scene, but no one stepped forward to stop it. Some people were still making noises and even looked eager to try.

Damn it, how come you can encounter something like this wherever you go...

He originally thought that Neverwinter City would be different.

Manfold frowned and said, "Is anyone going to notify the guards in black?"

From Matt's previous introduction, we know that the men in black known as the police have replaced the original patrol team. Although we don't know whether they are reliable, it seems that there is no better way now.

However, no one made any move, "I advise you to stay out of your own business, young man, we still have to stay here for a few days before moving to the inner city."

"Yes, if you are hated by such a scumbag, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

"You guys -" he hesitated, and finally looked at Matt, "I'm going to delay some time, and you call the person in charge of security over here!"

Unexpectedly, Matt grabbed his hand and shook his head slightly.

Manfeld suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

He shook the other person away hard and said word by word, "I thought you were different from other kingdoms - I was wrong." Then he rolled up his sleeves and ran towards the crowd without looking back.
