Chapter 579 Nora's One Day

For tiefling, the first night in Elson City can be called a "sleepless night."

Among the cities built by the Tasman "Lamb", Fort Collins, the most prosperous, is not as good as Holy City. This is the upper limit that the economic foundation can determine. After all, they are closed in an environment surrounded by mountains and have almost no foreign trade, and the slow development is inevitable.

Before being "infected", all of them were just residents of villages on the outskirts of Tasman towns. In other words, they are country bumpkins who will never go to the city for almost all their lives.

After becoming tieflings, their lives are basically the same as wildlings. Decades have passed without clothing and food, and farming has become an unattainable luxury. However, since the elder Luther decided to follow Rody with all his staff, life seemed to get better all of a sudden.

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

Nora walked on the flat stone road, looking up at the blue sky.

There are no humid conditions and constant rain here. The warm and dry wind slid over her fingertips, making her take a deep breath involuntarily. The streets in the field of vision were spotless, completely devoid of the mess mixed with feces and feces in rural villages. The stone buildings are not only similar in shape, but also have very elegant shapes. High Elf-style sculptures can be seen everywhere on the buildings on the street. The delicate carvings make Nora dare not touch them with her hands.

More than 200 tieflings were temporarily allocated 60 houses according to their families. In order to facilitate management, the residential area of ​​Elson City adopts a centralized construction layout, so the more than one hundred houses are all next to each other and distributed around two streets. And outside the residential area, it is the area where Elder Luther warned that they cannot go out for the time being.

Now Elder Luther is no longer the one who manages all the tieflings. Nora looked curiously at the taller building at the end of the street. There was a wooden sign on it, but she didn't know it because she had no education. I only vaguely remember the name of "neighborhood committee" or something.

On the first day here, everyone received brand new clothes, food and house keys from this "committee". At the same time, I also saw that the store opened next to it had fancy new clothes, cooking utensils, and all kinds of food that smelled very delicious.

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

What made Nora a little excited was that Elder Luther said that in the future they would be able to travel freely between cities, whether it was a market, a theater, or a tavern, they could freely enter. However, during the first month, everyone could only move around in the area designated by the guards.

At the same time, Elder Luther specifically emphasized that whether it is buying goods or watching dramas, coins are needed for payment.

The older tieflings had at least used currency in the Tasman, but the younger generation, born and raised in the forest, had no idea what "coin" was. Nora dared to ask several questions before she figured out what the coins looked like and their value, and then she also asked the question that all tieflings cared about: how to get coins?

"Tomorrow morning, someone will come over to assign tasks to us. Those who complete the task can get the corresponding currency as a reward, and those who fail to complete the task will starve, understand? Starting tomorrow, your food will be exchanged for your own labor Already!"

Nora still remembered the exclamation that followed after Elder Luther said these words. Tiefling was used to the days of hungry and full, and at the same time blurred the concept of this "equivalent exchange". Old and weak tieflings like Nora's mother were basically unable to do anything during the migration with the group. They could neither hunt nor plant. If they died, they would go to the forest to pick up some wild fruits and wild mushrooms and make tooth sacrifices.

The idea that "food is handled by the hunting team" has been implemented for decades, and before they arrived in Elson City, they all ate from a big pot, so until now, many tieflings have not accepted this set of values. On the street, I could vaguely hear many tieflings complaining about this system...

There are lazy people in any ethnic group, and it is normal for this to happen.

Nuo Laran is young, but he is already considered a preparatory hunter, so he has long been mentally prepared to put in the effort. And after eating the oatmeal cooked by her mother in the morning, she came to the location near the "neighborhood committee" early, waiting for the "task" that might appear today.

Nora's attitude towards life is very positive, which is unmatched by other tieflings.

Not long after, a group of soldiers from Elson City arrived as scheduled, and the first thing they did was to let tieflings who were willing to accept the mission follow them to the mission location. Nora signed up together with other members of the hunting team without hesitation, and some young tieflings who gained the ability to "transform" due to mutation also eagerly followed.

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

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

The task is simple: move boxes of goods to the transport ship, and everyone gets paid according to the amount of goods moved.

This kind of thing is easy for tiefling who has the ability to "transform", and a group of young people started doing it one after another. After transforming, this group of tall and strong guys can easily carry the weapon boxes of several hundred kilograms, and they can fill a ship to the brim.

Just when they were a little complacent, the transport ship that launched later scared a group of bumpkins almost to the ground. Seeing the tens of tons of goods being easily taken away, Nora, like all tieflings, grew up uncontrollably He closed his mouth, unable to speak for a while.

The most cargo-carrying vehicle they had ever seen was a horse-drawn carriage. And the cargo that a carriage can carry is just over a ton. Not only that, but it is also troublesome to take care of the pack horse. You can't be hungry, you can't be cold, you have to rest when you are sick, but what is the monster that pulled dozens of tons of cargo away in the blink of an eye? !

And just as they were about to move the next batch of containers, the supervisor who had been silent just now came out and pointed out more than 20 people, signaling them to follow to another place. Nora looked over curiously, but found that the supervisor also pointed at her, a common gesture that Nora could understand, so she walked to the other side with the twenty or so people.
