Faced with people's excitement, Iron Hammer felt that he had been wronged.

It's not easy to do business these days...

Originally, when Herbert told him that Lord Levis was about to implement the "Abolition of Slavery Act" and "Labor System Regulations" throughout Zeelandia, he still had some luck, thinking that such a large-scale reform would not be implemented from the formulation to the end.

It must take half a year or even two or three years to be promulgated, right?

Who knew that the day after the first session of the Free City State of Zeelandia came to an end, these two bills were passed at the same time, and their implementation was unprecedentedly resolute.

His old friend Herbert was also very busy at that time, personally leading a team to visit merchants one after another who refused to implement or had a wait-and-see attitude.

Faced with a redemption price slightly lower than the average market price and the penalty of permanent expulsion from the country, most ordinary merchants like Hammer naturally chose the former.

Anyway, those female slaves were bought by them, and they had worked for the store for free for so long. If they could be redeemed by the city hall, it didn't seem like they were losing money...

But Iron Hammer soon discovered that he was still too young...

He found that if he didn't grit his teeth and shed some blood, he wouldn't be able to recruit anyone!

Being used to slave dancers who don't need to be paid, those 'aunts' who dare to ask for thirty bronze thumbs a week and still not be knocked down at any time make the hammer almost have the urge to hit people.

Recently, he has been criticized by customers for his poor aesthetic...

There is a weird question. Although in his opinion, bucket-waisted aunts are indeed more in line with their dwarf aesthetics, he is not the kind of stupid dwarf who doesn't know the public's preferences, nor does he have trouble with money.

The young and beautiful tavern maid has turned into a middle-aged aunt, and the outrageously expensive dancer has disappeared. Naturally, the hotel's business has also declined a lot. Although it is not a loss, who can bear this gap?

ah.

Anyway, his wife couldn't stand it, and asked him to either find a way to recruit those tavern dancers back, or go to a driving school to get a steam locomotive driving license, and then transport goods to support the family.

It's not like he hasn't thought about the former, but once he inquired about it, he felt like a Muggle.

Although the dancers were redeemed by the city hall, they were still burdened with the city-state's debt.

But the difference is that it is not easy for young and beautiful women like them to find a job in Minas Tirith where there are countless opportunities.

Even if she works as an assembly line worker in various factories in the Second City, she can earn much more than a waitress. If not, she can just find a man to marry.

There are many people in Baicheng who are willing to take over, but people in this era do not attach much importance to this aspect.

And some dancers who don't want to join the factory and are too lazy to get married simply continue to work in the custom industry. Although they are a little tired, at least they make more money.

It is worth mentioning that Zeelandia’s customs and industries were also legally standardized in this city-state meeting.

However, if Iron Hammer thinks about it, the ratio of men to women in Zeelandia is seriously imbalanced. If people don't let people go to prostitutes, God knows how many crimes will occur.

Iron Hammer, who was reluctant to spend a lot of money to recruit tavern dancers, had no choice but to quit drinking for a while, and finally passed the steam locomotive driving license test that he had been complaining about for half a century.

Today is his first day driving to deliver goods, but the "Drunk Driving Punishment Regulations" promulgated by Zeelandia hangs over his head like the sword of Damocles.

Driving my favorite steam locomotive, but not allowed to drink...

Isn’t this anti-dwarf!?

Just when he was about to die without drinking, he saw two half-elves falling from the sky. They looked like they had just come from other places to work. Iron Hammer suddenly became energetic.

If he didn't seize this opportunity, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by his wife who had heard the news when he returned to the store.

But I never expected that one of the half-elves was a little too vigilant, and almost drew a knife to kill someone. This move made the surrounding onlookers stand on the side of the half-elf without thinking.

On the other side, he was criticized with harsh words and words.

Iron Hammer felt that he had been wronged and was speechless. He said to himself that if you are a group of licking dogs who only know how to look at faces, you will not be able to marry a half-elf even if you are just licking around like this!

Just kidding, since forty-six years ago, Elline discovered in advance the ancient evil things in the endless wilderness and risked her life to warn them, thereby eliminating a crisis that would have swept the entire Northland, and became a heroine recognized by the entire Northland.

Later, the status of half-elves, a race that had been neglected, especially the ranger girls, was raised several levels.

Especially in Minas Tirith, a city-state that already has a gender imbalance, if you want to marry a half-elf, the huge number of competitors may directly affect your life.

Although half-elves are generally not philistine, how can they easily fall in love with an ordinary person if they have a choice? Aren't the Masters and Dragon Knights attractive?

And decades ago, I don’t know which high-level person spread the news that their Lord Levis wanted to form a group of battle nuns headed by Elline, and these 'sisters' would all become his '

bride'.

Anyone with some sense would know that this must be someone's joke, but some half-elf girls who worshiped the lord and Elline couldn't help but believed it to be true, so that a group of non-marriage half-elves appeared in White City.

Swearing to dedicate himself to Zelandia and the Silver Dragon Lord for the rest of his life only exacerbated this situation of more wolves and less meat.

Iron Hammer saw that the 'pick-up' failed and made him feel embarrassed. Just when he was about to give up and leave, the little elf hiding behind the knife-wielding half-elf stuck his head out and asked timidly:

"Uncle Hammer, the waiter you are talking about is the kind of job that serves food in a tavern?"

Kony, who was standing in front of her, opened her mouth, but did not stop her.

Because she suddenly discovered a phenomenon that made her feel extremely absurd, that is, unlike the indifference of people in Carlin City, people here seemed to have more free time to 'watch the fun', although she could still feel a lot of lust.

eyes, but more people responded with a kind attitude towards these two foreign half-elves.

He would even stand up for them and condemn the dwarf who tried to 'abduct' them.

This made her... very uncomfortable.

Iron Hammer suddenly became energetic and quickly promoted himself:

"Yes, yes, it's very simple. Of course, if you can help sell the drinks in the store to customers, that would be great. How about it? Are you interested in trying it in the store?"

But before Koni and the others could respond, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup emerged from the crowd of onlookers. She also looked at them with the same eyes as looking at treasures, and said eagerly:

"Don't listen to that gray dwarf. How much money can a waiter make? Why don't you come to our Xue Ni clothing store and work as a counter girl. You will get commission on every order."

"Hey! Listen to my advice. You might as well go to the city hall to apply for a ranger job. The salary is high and the guarantee is good. Although there are some risks, it is still 10,000 times better than working for them." Someone next to him tried to dissuade him.

...

Faced with almost overwhelming opinions and solicitations from around her, Corny felt that her head was about to stop thinking.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, no matter how slow she was, she discovered that the situation in the city in front of her was completely different from Kalishan's, even...completely opposite!

Thinking of the needs of that fish-man... uh, that silver dragon...

This prosperous city...is in short supply of people, all kinds of people who can provide labor.

And the dwarf in front of him seemed to have no ill intentions.

So Koni no longer hesitated and said to Tie Chui:

"I apologize for the previous misunderstanding. The job you mentioned...I...can I try it first?"

Corny has made up her mind that since she is here to ‘take a look’ at this city-state for Jenny Sal, she will undoubtedly be able to see the most real side of this city-state in the form of ‘work’.

What's more... she has no money.

If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move anywhere. This is a truth recognized by almost every world.

Iron Hammer was overjoyed when he heard this and opened the door:

"Why not? It's my hammer's honor! There's no time to explain! Get in the car quickly!"

Corny and Maria finally boarded Hammer's steam locomotive amidst everyone's confusion and sighs.

Seeing this heavy iron shell driving on the street, the two half-elves who had never seen the world were extremely curious, and felt inexplicably nervous and uneasy. They only put half of their buttocks on the seats, fearing that they would

The seemingly expensive leather seat cushions were stained.

They stared at everything in front of them with wide eyes, as dazzled as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.

In their eyes, this city-state based on white is really... clean.

Yes, cleanliness is their first impression of this city.

Unlike Kalishan, who can see feces and even defecation everywhere, it is difficult for them to see the filth that appears, even beggars find it difficult to see it.

Immediately thinking of the group of people who tried to win her over to 'get a job', it suddenly dawned on her that since there were so many jobs, as long as she had the hands and feet, she would naturally be able to support herself without having to worry about finding something to do.

Sell ​​your freedom just to survive.

The avenue along the street is divided into three parts by two rows of maple trees and flower beds. In the middle are various vehicles, and on the 'human-shaped paths' on both sides are various people coming and going.

There doesn't seem to be much distinction between them, but occasionally when a 'knight' passes by, people will look at him with envy and yearning.

Listening to the conversations among the crowd, they... seem to be a group called the Dragon Familiar Knights.

On both sides of the street, there are various shops, selling a wide variety of goods. Only a few of them can name them, such as some selling ironware, ready-made clothes, handicrafts and agricultural products. There are so many varieties that their eyes are confused.

I can't even see it at all.

But what makes Ke Ni even more amazing is their sales method. In front of many stores, there is a large "billboard" filled with the prices and discounts of various common products. There are even special "billboard girls" in front of the stores.

Promote products in the store.

But we rarely see bargaining. It seems that people think that instead of spending time here to press down on such a small price, it is better to use this time to earn more.

Although I don’t know how much metal coins there are here, looking at the prices alone, the prices in this White City are simply unbelievably low.

For example, for some finished weapons, farm tools, or eggs and fresh meat, the price on the signboard can even be several times or even dozens of times different from that of Kalishan.

So much so that Kony even had the idea of ​​​​earning some money to buy some back to Kalishan to earn the difference...

The dwarf boss driving the car along the way was also very talkative, just like the most dedicated tour guide, introducing them to this prosperous and vibrant city-state.

At this moment, the steam locomotive stopped in front of a tavern that looked to be quite old. Through the warm light, you could vaguely see several tables of guests dining.
To be continued...
