Chapter 1104： : Desperate Ingram

The one-way fare of the cable car is 5 dinars, which is extremely cheap for Zongshen.饔

But if it is calculated according to the salary and price of the village level and the state city level, it is still a bit expensive.

I still remember that when Baron Bezos recruited a miscellaneous maid in Sitano Village, the monthly salary was 20 dinars, and only 240 dinars a year, plus 20 days of family leave.

In other words, if the baron's housemaid was to take the cable car, it would cost her nearly a week's wages at a time.

If it is not in Jucheng, the maid's salary will be much higher.

Normally, it can reach 50 to 70 dinars per month, which is several times higher than the salary standard at the Bangcheng level.

If you want to save money, the cheapest way to get around the city is mule carts and ox carts.

As long as you pay 1 dinar, you can take the same distance on the one-way cable car.饔

Therefore, the big families in the city basically have horses on their backs.

Dry feed for horses is in short supply.

It is precisely because the area of ​​the giant city is so large that each block has formed a system.

It may even take several weeks to trek from the south to the north of the third circle of the city.

The means of transportation determine the efficiency of traffic, and those efficient methods are definitely not within the grasp of ordinary citizens.

So the price of the cable car is actually not too expensive. No one wants to waste so much time just to stroll around the city, because time is money.

In fact, the giant city cable car can only be regarded as the middle gear of the transportation mode in the city.饔

There are many less efficient ones, and many more efficient ones.

Such as mana shuttles, small airships, flying monsters with a flying license, etc.

Sitting on the cable car, the three of them stared at the big-nosed dwarves opposite.

The cable car is pulled in both directions by the magic noose and rollers above it, which is essentially a pulley block driven by magic energy.

The maximum speed is 20 kilometers per hour.

Zong Shen's one-way trip is about 8 kilometers, and it takes about 20 minutes.

Only when they reach the next cable car stone tower node can they transfer.饔

This kind of transfer needs to go through five times in total, so as to reach the outer periphery of the second circle.

"That gentleman, why do you keep staring at our three brothers?"

A dwarf sitting opposite Xiao Heizi couldn't help asking.

In fact, only Xiao Heizi was watching them.

Zong Shen, Irina, and Tasiya were all leisurely admiring the scenery outside.

"snort!"

The little Heizi who turned into a humanoid snorted, and emitted two streams of sulfurous smoke from his nostrils.饔

At the same time, a trace of coercion belonging to the real dragon was released.

"Ahhhh!"

The three dwarves screamed and huddled together in fear by the window of the cable car.

"Shut up or I'll let it eat you all."

The noisy dwarf affected Zong Shen's interest in viewing the scenery, he grinned again and threatened again.

Little Heizi also bared his teeth in cooperation with his master.

The three dwarves were stunned, and finally they all passed out.饔

Zong Shen turned his head and rolled his eyes at Xiao Heizi, who shrugged.

"Sorry, master."

"These little ones are too timid."

Little Heizi said without sincerity.

"You're a real dragon, they're just dwarves that don't grow up."

"Scaring them doesn't make you brave."

Zong Shen taught again that he didn't want this guy to cause trouble in the giant city.饔

Xiao Heizi quickly sat up straight, nodded and bowed in agreement.

Zong attached great importance to this trip to the giant city.

He came with a mission and expectations.

Sapphire had already come to the giant city first.

But she couldn't meet Zong Shen freely in the city.

Need to keep dealing with those **** church elders.

Therefore, Zongshen must find out the current situation and situation of the giant city.饔

How could such a huge and beautiful city be easily destroyed in chaos?

To be honest, Zong Shen had the desire to conquer and possess the city under the cable car.

If a person has not enjoyed power, he may not find it wonderful.

But after enjoying the power, this beauty becomes addictive and irresistible.

Conquest and ambition only have 0 and 1 times.

They are like wild weeds that never get rid of and become more tenacious.

After a small episode, the journey became much more uneventful.饔

The three gnomes didn't wake up until the cable car reached the next stone tower node.

I don't know if it was just pretending, or if I really passed out.

What was certain was that all three of them were breathing.

Everyone changed to the next route, and after taking the cable car again, it was another journey of about six kilometers.

It takes about 18 minutes, and it takes at least two hours to calculate the time required for five cable cars.

The scenery of the third circle of the city below is mostly similar.

There are always a few places that seem to be similar in the criss-crossed streets.饔

The reason is because the city is too big.

Every block is like a small settlement, in order to buy all the necessities without going far.

All kinds of small shops are very complete in the block.

Every day, there are a large number of traveling merchants and trucks delivering all kinds of goods to different small shops in different blocks.

People in the city need to consume huge amounts of sugar, salt, flour, wine and various daily necessities every day.

The daily amount of feces can pile up like a mountain.

Most of the manure in the house is collected by the manure collection trucks dispatched in the early morning, and transported to several manure workshops and nitrate factories outside the city. There are also scattered manure pickers during the day, scattered all over the city like hardworking ants.饔

They pick up dung and sell it to those workshops as well.

The giant city of Lentax is not a hot place, and the hottest time is around 25°C.

So the nitrate factory is not for making ice, and the magic ice used by nobles.

Just like the Frost Raven in Zongshen's territory, if he had nothing to do, he would get some water and spray some cold air, and it would turn into ice cubes.

The saltpeter here will be transported to the alchemy workshop in the city, where specific magic materials will be added to make the teleportation magic gunpowder. It is also one of the basic raw materials for all the magic explosives in the Endless Continent.

It must be a good choice to sell ice cubes in hot areas.

However, the hotter the place, the rarer the magic power of the water element, which is the relationship between the environment and the degree of sparseness of the magic power of the element.饔

In this way, Zong Shen was thinking about the pattern of the city and the form of life, while looking at the scenery below.

…

After many transfers, they stood at the highest point of the stone tower of the cable car.

The towering towers of the second circle can already be seen ahead.

You can even vaguely see the edge of the first circle of walls.

It is worth mentioning that the towers in the second circle are actually taller than those in the third circle.

Zong Shen had observed it before, and used the strategy module to obtain data.饔

The exact data of the height of the towers in the third circle is 125 meters to 135 meters.

The heights of different tower sections are slightly different.

The height of the second circle of towers reached 165 meters to 180 meters.

The thickness has been increased from 35 meters to 50 meters, which is really tall and thick!

Speaking of which, isn't this the layout of anti-tightening inside and anti-loosening outside?

This layout highlights the class divisions within the city.

Ordinary people and poor people live in the third circle, and rich businessmen and minor nobles live in the second circle.饔

The great nobles live in the first circle.

As for the ruling class, they must live in the castle in the core area.

Maybe there is also a manor in the first circle.

This is the unpretentious life of the endless mainland nobles.

Compared with the third circle which occupies the largest area.

The first circle and the second circle are like the real core of the city.

It is also the essence of the Lentax giant city.饔

The third circle is more like the result of years of population growth and expansion.

After all, most of these human kingdoms in the Endless Continent have a history of thousands or even thousands of years.

"Let's go, we have to get down from the tower here."

Zong Shen looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt emotional.

But we had to keep going, or it would be dark.

He led the crowd back to the ground from the transfer platform at the top of the tower in a gondola.

Speaking of which, more than two hours have passed since entering the city.饔

Three people and one dragon spent a total of 100 dinars and nearly two hours on the cable car.

Only then did it approach the periphery of the second circle.

It takes about a few kilometers to reach the city gate.

To be honest, if Zong Shen was not worried about being too ostentatious, Zong Shen would have directly launched the flash and moved forward.

After returning to the surface in a gondola, he hired a two-horse carriage for another hundred dinars.

Unless an ordinary one-horse carriage is a harness horse, it may not be able to carry them.

Speaking of which, the three draft horses bought before entering the city became one-time consumables.饔

For this he spent more than two thousand dinars.

The price of the giant city is more expensive, and the draft horse is a labor horse, the price is more expensive than ordinary riding horses, but it is not as good as mixed war horses.

Anyway, Zong is not short of money, so he should be contributing to the economy of the giant city of Lentax.

The carriage walked for ten or twenty minutes before arriving at the gate of the second circle of cities.

This is one of the 32 city gate entrances in the second circle.

What left Zong Shen speechless the most was that he had to pay a city fee to enter the second circle.

Expensive is not expensive, each person only needs 1 dinar, which is a kid.饔

But no matter how you think about it, it makes you feel unhappy.

The carriage stopped outside the city gate, the money was easy to earn.

After the three of them entered the second circle, they didn't feel so relaxed.

The buildings here are more regular than those in the third circle.

Most of the houses are built of stone, and the general height is four to six stories.

The exterior walls are whitewashed and plastered for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

The street surface is hard paved with stone, sand, and some kind of adhesive.饔

It can withstand the rolling traffic of load-bearing wagons and mule carts.

There are also Baishi street lamps on the main street, one every ten meters.

Some shops will also bump into a magic lighting lamp on the outer wall.

Here, these simple magic technology products are relatively popular.

Unlike Bangcheng, the nighttime lighting of the city is still dominated by braziers and torches.

This is also the point where the gap is shown.

In addition, the pedestrians in the second circle had better complexions and neat clothes, and there were almost no hungry people with disheveled faces.饔

Although the supply of materials in the giant city of Lentax is quite abundant.

But there are still many hungry people and beggars in the third circle.

There are also plenty of black street rats.

In contrast, the second circle layer is much more stable.

This also proves Zong Shen's conjecture about the division of circles and class gaps in the giant city.

After entering the second circle, he did not hurry to continue on his way, but took out the [Communication Crystal] and dialed the crystal number of the bard Ingram.

I saw the crystal blooming with a faint light, but no one cared about it.饔

The vision of the citizens of giant cities is much higher than that of villages and state cities.

All kinds of weird magic creations are not uncommon.

The flash lasted for more than a minute but no one connected.

Zong Shen put down the crystal suspiciously, waited for a while and dialed the number again.

…

At the same time, in the second circle layer, a street decorated with pink colored lights.

This is a street of Luntax's brothel (anti-harmony), named Fen Yunying.饔

In the basement of a whorehouse (harmony-proof), Ingram, shabby and flogged, is bound to a cross stake, seemingly dying.

His clothes and trousers were piled in a corner.

One of the [Communication Crystals] is shining.

A purple halo illuminates the dimly lit basement.

In a semi-conscious state, he was awakened by this light, and opened his eyes in a daze.

His face was covered in blood, even the ground below his head was covered in blood.

Most of the blood had coagulated into scabs, dark, black, and smelly.饔

From time to time a mouse crawled across the wall and gnawed at the wound on Ingram's leg.

"Ah..."

"Zong...Zong Shen..."

He murmured weakly, shaking his bound hands feebly.

It didn't take long for the [Communication Crystal] to go out.

The purple light was gone, and the basement was once again in darkness.

A tear fell from Ingram's eye.饔

Can't tell if it's disappointment or regret.

…

After the second call failed, Zong Shen frowned.

In this case, either Ingram lost the crystal somewhere.

Either that guy had died during the agreed period of time.

Either scenario is very likely.

Zong Shen didn't think too much about it, and prepared to ask for advice on the strategy module饔

"Please tell me Ingram's current condition and location?"

This problem is theoretically not difficult.

So soon there are golden subtitles emerging.

(Ingram was tricked while visiting a brothel (anti-harmony) house, and is now being held in the basement of the Red Charm Spring House on Fenyunying Street. His life is at stake and urgently needs to be rescued.)

…

Zong Shen frowned, he really didn't expect this guy to have the pleasure to visit the Spring Pavilion.

And it was plotted against.饔

To be honest, Ingram's aptitude is only at the purple rare level, even adding a rare profession [Bard] is nothing to Zong Shen today.

At the beginning, he was still more eager to recruit him, but now that the gap between the two sides has widened, he has no such high recruiting value.

As he was thinking, the scene of Ingram singing and calling him friend suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him make up his mind.

"Forget it, it's just a spring house, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Just move fast!"

Thinking of this, he was ready to act immediately.
