Looking at the black behemoth looming in the plains in the distance and the merchants who were surging like ants in their sight, Fick and his party finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Breaking out of the crisis-ridden wilderness, they finally arrived at the center of the gathering of humans in this buffer zone - Hei Shui City.

Looking at the huge monster entrenched on the banks of the Blackwater River from afar, Fick once again felt the tenacious foundation of human beings.

In this war-torn era, people still survived tenaciously in this world and created such a magnificent city building.

When I slowly arrived in front of Hei Shui City, the majestic and tall city walls gradually brought a strong sense of oppression.

Looking at the black city in front of him, Wright took a deep breath. Although he had been to this city more than once in his memory, it was the first time he had seen the true appearance of this Black Water City with his own eyes.

Staring at the tall and sturdy city walls in front of you, the breathtaking feeling given by this behemoth is incomparable to the pictures in memory.

He could hardly imagine how the people here built this Blackwater City bit by bit with their own hands.

Touching gently on the dim brick wall, Wright's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

A faint and faint temperature came from the cold brick wall that seemed dull and dull.

This warm feeling is like a trace of residual heat retained in the ashes after the dull flame is extinguished.

Wright thought he had an illusion, and just as he wanted to continue to feel that temperature, a urging sound came from the front.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't be too slow, hurry up!"

The soldiers wearing armor and holding bows and arrows outside the city gate were showing impatient expressions, urging them to enter the city.

Entering the city requires a certain amount of entry fee, or a permanent resident pass is required to guarantee it.

The permanent residents who obtain resident passes need to pay taxes regularly in the city, so no matter what, as long as they enter and exit the Hei Shui City, they must directly or indirectly contribute a certain value to it in exchange for convenient protection from it.

After paying the city entrance fee, Fick couldn't help but think that the city entrance fee for such a city is really a considerable fee for ordinary people, and ordinary farmers may find it difficult to afford the frequent entry and exit.

The three of them were transporting their goods in the city. The city was filled with crowded buildings, and busy people were walking everywhere on the narrow streets.

On their faces, there are few comfortable and leisurely smiles. Most people have a solemn and depressed expression. Time has left deep marks on their faces caused by labor.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Heishui City, although Heishui City has a population of people, what Fick feels is not the lively and energetic brought by the gathering of humans in the city. On the contrary, the depressing and low atmosphere here is even inferior to the lively and bustling villages before.

The feeling here is like a huge cage, where the people inside are living alone, with no hope or highlights in their eyes.

Although I didn't know much, Fick could feel that life here was obviously not as beautiful as he had imagined before.

The strong and tall city walls do not seem to bring people a stable and beautiful life. Although everyone has received certain security guarantees here, the quality of life has become very depressed under the compression of limited space.

People here are not like the villagers in the wilderness outside before, who can have their own arable land to cultivate food and self-sufficient. They settled in the city can only get a little reward by selling their labor, and a large part of the compensation is used to pay the residents' fees living in the city.

The remaining little money is too short of survival alone.

In such a city, most people's lives are in a tight and high-pressure state. As long as some conditions like illness occur in life and their livelihoods are cut off, the whole family will fall into a very difficult situation.

In the villages around the city, those people are working in the fields, but they have to face various dangers in the wilderness.

There are often various alien robbers that cause great harm to them, so people from villages often enter the city to add new blood to this huge machine.

If you want to enter the city to sell their crops and obtain some essential daily necessities and help, you also need to pay a large amount of entry fee.

This city is like a machine that constantly swallows up labor force, which constantly absorbs the labor value of all kinds of people under the impetus of external pressure.

People who live an uneasy life outside want to enter this solid city, while people trapped in the city yearn for a free and comfortable life outside.

This is not just an individual phenomenon in Heishui City. In fact, most human city-state areas are basically in high-pressure living conditions like Heishui City.

Human life has not been improved by solid walls and complete army. On the contrary, in some ways, people in the city are even worse than those of the mountain villagers living in the wilderness.

Walking in a depressed city, Wright has long been accustomed to this kind of depression and low atmosphere, which he had long been used to in the city he worked in his previous life.

People who have lost their souls and dreams, spiritual oppression and high exploitation, have no choice but to continue their lives...

The two worlds are so different, but they are so similar...

The only thing that made Wright feel relieved was that he had escaped from such a life at this moment.

Now he is no longer a part of this big machine. He no longer needs it, nor will he continue to invest in it, and continue to operate according to the instructions of the machine.

He has found a higher meaning and value of life...

On the gray and black street, Fick and the other two seemed very out of place.

They are different from most people in this city. Although they are very tired, they are shining with light.

Such dazzling gaze quickly attracted the attention of some people...

This ray of light is something that cannot be found in the eyes of those busy people.

...

After Srevmaster's death, Daosk and his party kept running towards the Holy Scale Empire.

After a long journey over mountains and ridges, they finally arrived at the border of the Holy Scale Empire.

Looking at the frontier of the Holy Scale Empire from afar, Daosk couldn't help but take a breath, amazed at the magnificent empire in front of him!

As a member of the transportation organization who has been hanging with him for many years, Daosk has also traveled to countless human kingdoms.

Among these countries, there were also tall and sturdy capitals like Hei Shui City, led by lords and army.

But these human kingdoms often have only such a decent city, surrounded by clusters of satellite-like villages, supplying them with food crops.

The Holy Scale Empire in front of you can see endless fortress towns on the border alone. Various tall and magnificent architectural communities are located on the vast plains, with no boundaries at a glance.

Immersed in deep shock, Daosk had never seen such a magnificent empire in his life. His eyes showed a breathtaking look, and he couldn't help but ignite his yearning for the Holy Scale Empire again.

Such an empire is a place where there is a real future to develop. Compared with the Holy Scale Empire, those human city countries are simply a pile of ruins.

Taking a deep breath, Daosk took a firm step and walked towards the borders of the Holy Scale Empire.

"Stop! What are your identities!"

Just as Dawsk was about to enter the border of the Holy Scale Empire, a solemn shout rang in its ears.

I saw a well-armed gang of dogs patrolling this border territory under the leadership of a tall creature with dark scales.

The tall human-shaped lizard creature in the lead gave Dawsk a great sense of oppression. This oppression not only comes from strength, but also comes from the upper and lower relationships in the bloodline.

Daosk immediately understood that the creature in front of him was a Holy Scale Clan with pure blood!

Although the other party is just a Black Scale clan member with the lowest bloodline, the other party's bloodline can still suppress the bloodline in Daosk's body, making it unable to help but want to bow down and surrender to it.

Facing the other party's cross-examination, Daosk replied respectfully as if conditioned.

"Report to the Lord...we are subordinates of the bloodline given by Lord Sreve Master, Lord Sreve Master...when he was chasing the remains robbers, he clashed with them..."

Under the pressure of the other party's bloodline, Daosk told all the things that happened before.

As Daosk's narration, the cold golden pupils of the Black Scale clan shrank slightly, revealing an incredible look, and scolded.

"Srevemaster... is actually a character from the Sreve family! Being defeated by the ruins robbers... Oh, it's simply unreasonable! How could a Holy Lord with such noble blood be defeated by a few robbers and a few humans in the wilderness villages? You are completely insulting and blaspheming the noble dignity of the Holy Scale clan!"

Hearing the deafening scolding of the other party, Daosk's heart leaped wildly uncontrollably, and the blood flowing in his body was almost about to burst the blood vessels.

It gasped wildly, its legs became weak, and it knelt at the other party's feet, and said tremblingly.

"No... sir, no lie is true for every word, please check it out!"

The kowtowers around Daosk felt the pressure emitted by the Holy Scale clan, and they all fell to the ground to beg for mercy and loyalty.

When the other party saw these slaves in this way, they felt that they had no intention of provoking and resisting the Holy Scale Clan at all, and nodded slightly satisfied.

"Okay, if what you said is true, maybe the Sreve family will take you to continue to serve them, but if you are lying... Hum!"

"Come with me, you need to tell the people of the Sreve family in person!"

Finally, after hearing these words, Daosk breathed a sigh of relief.

From the other party's tone, it is not difficult to see that the Sreve family should also have a very authoritative existence in the Holy Scale Empire.

If you can rely on such a family, then your future will naturally be limitless!

Following the Black Scale Clan, Daosk and his party finally successfully entered the Holy Scale Empire.

After entering the Holy Scale Empire, Daosk discovered that along the way, in addition to the Holy Scale Clan that exudes a strong sense of oppression and the inferior scale clan similar to them, a large number of humans appeared in the country.

Even in terms of quantity, the number of humans is much larger than the sum of the Holy Scale Clan and the Bad Scale Clan.

All of these humans were slaves seized by the Holy Scale Empire defeated other high-quality racial countries or human city-states.

In the eyes of those Holy Scale Clans, they are used to do all kinds of hard work like property.

In the empire, these humans did more than 90% of the basic work. They built city-states day and night, cultivated land, and manufactured and processed various equipment. They did almost all the work in this country, but this country did not belong to them.

They are the cornerstones of this empire. Although the prosperity of the entire empire is entirely based on the hard work of these humans, the real master of this country - the Holy Scale Clan.

This is the fate determined by bloodline. The upper creatures who control capital enslave the lower creatures. From the moment they are born, they stand at the peak that these lower creatures will never reach.

Although humans in the Holy Scale Empire were enslaved and forced to work, they all worked hard and had high intensity.

Because there is still a trace of ethereal hope that remains in their hearts.

Among these numerous humans, there will always be a few excellent humans who can stand out and become honorary empires, receive blood support, complete class leap, and be promoted to inferior scale clan.

It is precisely because of this slight hope that these enslaved humans are scrambling to work hard and work for the slave owners crazily to fight for that illusory opportunity for promotion.

They are like batteries, frantically releasing the energy in their bodies, supplying labor for this empire, and competing with each other fiercely.

Many humans have consumed their energy in their bodies early due to overloading their work, becoming useless garbage batteries and being abandoned by the empire.

Only those who work hard enough and are strong enough to survive the breeding period can reproduce smoothly.

So unknowingly, these enslaved humans lived more harder and worked harder than each generation, forming an endless inclination like a double helix of DNA.

However, no matter how intense and hard the humans were, they could only become inferior people in the end.

Being able to become a inferior scale tribe is their end point, and the passage to the Holy scale tribe does not exist. This kind of race has been formed a long time ago and is becoming more and more solid.

Seeing these stupid and funny looks of humans, Dawsk became more and more grateful for his choice and opportunity.

It has relied on its own luck and ability to seize the opportunity to successfully stand at the peak that these slaves can reach in their entire lives after tiring up their lives.

When he arrived in front of a castle, the Black Scale clan member respectfully had a conversation with the garrison guarding outside the castle, and then said to Daosk.
Chapter completed!
