Chapter 1356 Freedom Comes at a Price

"Welcome to the kingdom of freedom!!" The moment the young woman stepped off the transmission platform, she saw a beautiful and elegant city of light! !Those tall walls with light yellow colors are carved with elegant flower vines and plump men and women, showing the most healthy and perfect body shape.On those flat roofs are roof vegetation that attracts bright sunlight and grows freely, embellishing the neat city with vibrant red and green colors.The milky white and clean bell tower and high tower in the distance are like exquisite works of art carved from a whole piece of big jade, radiating a rich luster under the direct sunlight.Plus the huge blue dragon flying overhead like a gust of wind, the huge green-scaled murlocs about three people tall on the street, and the illithid merchants running around in the air in four large sedan chairs.Constitute this bustling and noisy city of Kitaja, full of wealth, glory, peace and artistic atmosphere.

"This is a city of peace, a city of fraternity, a great palace of art, and the pinnacle of culture!" The receptionists are all excellent students trained by Kanremaia, and they are full of Kanrui from their tone to their expressions. The enthusiasm, boldness and self-confidence of Maia made the young woman who had just set foot on this land feel very comfortable: the palace was suffocated and suffocated.It's better here!Fortunately, that guy didn't send guards to follow him, otherwise he wouldn't be free.Well this time I must find a chance to play around.

Thinking of this, she felt a deep sense of anxiety again. The Sun King likes the new and dislikes the old. The palace is by no means a place to stay for a long time. He doesn't know what will change next year. It's really precarious!Just thinking about it, I walked into the exquisite granite building and went through the customs clearance under the bright and prosperous murals of Fuyu.Soon it was her turn to apply. In addition to filling in a bunch of personal information, she also had to write down her property status.

This made her a little embarrassed, because although she was deep in the palace and had good food and clothing, she didn't have much savings, except for some jewelry and fine clothes.At first she wanted to fake it, but when she saw the signs on the procedure: symbols of freedom, justice, power, and responsibility, it struck her heart like a holy mountain in a dream: in this city of freedom and fraternity.Don't be so vulgar anymore.

So she estimated the approximate price of the jewelry and filled it in. During the review, she couldn't help asking: "This time we came with a group, but I want to stay for a week or two longer. I don't know if I have to go through What procedure?" The clerk with a little mermaid blood and white scales lowered his head and said, "Oh, nothing, just need to check it?? Your personal property is so little??"

"I am a rising star in the art world," the young woman showed her trademark sweet smile, "I will have a bright future in the future." Her beautiful big mouth and handsome face made her smile a perfect combination of grandeur and beauty, while The other party's smile was also standard and precise: "I wish you success in the future. However, according to our regulations, people with too little property are not allowed to extend their stay. Unless you pay a one-to-one deposit. This is the amount table."

When the young woman saw the mortgage of 150 gold coins per day, she was disrespectful and stunned: "I really just stay for a few days! I really like this free and fraternal city. Can't you accommodate my small request? Please Please." But the other party with mermaid blood showed a rigid posture, which was completely inconsistent with his blood: "Freedom has a price. Just think about it, to live here, we have opened a mysterious maze to protect Everyone, make this place safe from water and fire, and enjoy the sunshine forever. This fan lock requires money. Where can there be freedom and peace without money? Sorry, I also want to help you. But regulations are regulations, and procedural justice is what we have always been the rules."

The young woman was a little disappointed, and asked casually: "Freedom has a price? How much does it cost? If I settle here, do I need tens of thousands of gold coins?" Who knows that she immediately interjected: "If you have it, we are very You are welcome to immigrate. You wait—here is the investment immigration price list, as long as you invest in our project. We welcome you to the country of freedom and enjoy the social atmosphere of fraternity.”

"5 gold coins?!" The young woman was taken aback: "It takes 5 gold coins to enter the country of fraternity? Are you still fraternity? Are you?" She pointed to the solemn mark on the information sheet and said loudly: "This is the same as The freedom and justice you promote are inconsistent! Do you have to lock people up if you don’t have money?”

"Yes." The other party resumed the bureaucratic style, just like the Ratsiraka's certificate handling personnel, precise and mechanical: "Immigration without money is illegal and will be strictly punished by the law. If you owe money If you stay here illegally, no matter what you do, you will be arrested and deported by the Immigration Bureau. The cells of the Immigration Bureau are all among the dry rocks of the island, so I kindly remind you to pay more attention and not do anything illegal."

The young woman muttered angrily: "Your law does not have the spirit of freedom and fraternity." Seeing a vague contempt in the eyes of the other party, she seemed to sneer: "Our law is to protect In the national interest. Alright. Time to move on. We're running out of time."

When she walked out of the tall and neat four-story building, she heard the loud voice again, "This is the city of peace, the city of fraternity, the great palace of art, and the pinnacle of culture!" Yes, walking on this street On the street, you can always see exquisite statues of people, small bands in twos and threes, and groups of wealthy ladies enjoying music, lawns, sunshine and the gentle tropical sea breeze.Just come up with enough money.You will be able to enjoy this peace, freedom, and fraternity.

Without money, there is nothing!The young woman felt sad for a while: expensive does not mean rich, I want to be rich! !

At night, the artists and wealthy people who came together went to the amusement park in the city center to gamble, pick up girls, and have fun.Looking at the night sky illuminated by the brilliant rays of light emerging from the colorful city center, the young woman felt even more shy and resentful.Restless, he came to the outskirts of the sparsely populated port alone, staring in a daze at the numerous sea boats and the deep and deep waves.

So bored, as soon as I entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. I thought it was the stars holding the moon, but unexpectedly, I became a canary of the lonely family.I think many high-ranking officials and dignitaries stared at me with piercing eyes back then, but now everyone has dispersed to find their own happiness.If it wasn't for this time I cried, made trouble and hanged myself, I wouldn't have had a chance to come here.How wrong I was!

She just walked while thinking like this, until it was late at night, the wind was cold, and she was hungry before walking back with a heavy heart.I happened to see a peddler selling fish scones in the distance, so I beckoned him to come over.Unexpectedly, the peddler was hesitant and walked far away.She even took the initiative to chase after her. After catching up, she became slightly angry: "Aren't you a seller? You run away if you have business? Oh, I'm so hungry, bring me two pieces of grilled fish, hurry up!"

The dark and skinny fishmonger glanced at her sideways, without a trace of kindness in his eyes. He lowered his head and roasted silently for a while, then sold the grilled fish, and then walked away in a hurry, as if he was afraid of seeing people.The young woman is very strange: there are such strange people in the land of freedom and fraternity?Afraid to do business.Oh, look at his dark and skinny appearance, he must be a smuggled immigrant.What a poor man.

The poor and short-sighted grilled fishmonger finally returned to his narrow and dirty remote hut. In this damp and musty basement "room", he took out a special small bronze pot, and he took it out amidst the bloody smell. A piece of bloody raw meat was placed in his mouth and while he was chewing fiercely, he chanted a strange spell in the cold flesh and blood in his mouth.When the flesh and blood in the jar raised a vague divine light, his message also sent out "It has been confirmed that all their goods have been loaded on the ship. The first batch of ships is expected to depart within four days, and the second batch is expected to arrive in ten days." Depart within days."

Two days later, the organizers of the art event invited wealthy guests from all corners of the country to participate in the "Modern Impressionist and Abstract Art Auction" held by the Bifusu Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting, the latest, most fashionable and high-level artworks will be displayed.High-level artworks and artists from all continents will gather together to exchange cutting-edge experiences and ideas.What a once-in-a-decade event!

When the colorful brilliance illuminates the fairy-tale castle in the evening into a rainbow world, the young woman in an elegant rose red dress, accompanied by her fellow men, walks onto the noisy and bustling art carpet, looking at the When surrounded by all kinds of people, kobolds, lizardmen, and illithids, she was inevitably a little nervous.When he looked at the golden castle gate in front of him, which looked like real gold, and the stars and diamonds inside, he trembled even more.Fortunately, the brown-eyed man beside him whispered, "It's okay, just go your own way." She felt a little relieved.

This man with beautiful brown pupils is one of the Sun King's close vassals and guards. His ancestors have always been a family of officials, especially his grandfather was not only a high-ranking official but also a famous high-ranking mage. He made great contributions in assisting the Sun King in seizing power. He has also recommended many talents for the Sun King, and he can be regarded as the descendant of a famous family.We often see each other in the palace.This time, he was also arguing with his family to watch the fun.Fortunately, he was by his side constantly pointing in a low voice, so that the young woman with stiff hands and feet barely made a fool of herself along the way.

Entering the spacious and elegant hall that shines like white jade, walking on the smooth patterned floor of the finest marble, you will first be in the group of statues with different shapes, either made of jade or stone, or cast in gold or silver. It is brocade weaving, or simple or high-spirited or abstract or elegant.Of course, there are many weird things, such as ceramic melon seeds, fat people and beasts made up of a pile of jars, and a bunch of unknown avant-garde artworks.
